Trying to use new nano with old mac

Hi, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice.
I recently received an ipod nano as a gift. Unfortunately, my ibook is from 2001, and i am still running the original OS 10.
From what I have read in these discussion forums, it would probably not be wise for me to try to install OS 10.4 on my computer. However, I believe that OS 10.4 is needed for my computer to be compatible to my nano.
I have hundreds of songs on my ibook, which I would really like to transfer to my new ipod. What can I do?
thanx
ibook Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Apple's minimum specs for the Nano are 10.3.x basically because that was the first version of the MacOS to support USB 2. However, many people, including my wife, are using a Nano with computers that have USB 1. So the real limiting factor is what version of the OS your computer can comfortably run. I wouldn't recommend 10.4 but 10.3 is certainly doable. I know several people running around with the colored iBooks running 10.3. And certainly 10.2 is doable though I don't know if iTunes 6 will run on Jaguar.

  • Can i charge my new nano with old adapter

    can i charge the new nano with a old ipod nano power adapter?

    thank you, is it possible to use any usb outlet charger for the nano not just made by apple, from what i heard some works but some people's ipod got fried idk
    It's hard to tell for certain, but if you are going to use a third party USB AC Charger, I would check for different reviews online for whether or not they are compatible with your iPod. Just double check for input and output voltages it works with and compare it to those that your iPod Nano can handle.

  • Trying to use a Nano with 10.2.8

    Alrigth, I just bought an iPod Nano. On the car ride home, I see that you need 10.3.4 to use it. I can't get that unless I buy a new computer... which isn't gonna happen. I have an iMac G3, 10.2.8,iTunes 6.0.1, and a highspeed 2.0 USB. Can I use the Nano with these settings? Do you know for sure?
    Please reply A.S.A.P!
    Thanks

    I'm using just this configuration. The only problem I have is the dreaded "Do not disconnect" message which never goes away. I wait to be sure all downloads are done, then eject the nano, and everything is OK.

  • Can I use my new nano with old itunes??

  • Can you use new Nano with iTunes 6?

    I'd like to get the new iPod Nano, but I have Mac OS 10.2.8, so I can't get iTunes 7. It says on the system requirements that I need 7, but is it really necessary? (i.e. is it possible to use the new iPod Nano with iTunes 6?)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    While I haven't tried, I would image the answer is no.
    Usually when iPods are released with a new iTunes version, they aren't made to be/are made not to be compatible with previous iTunes versions.
    It may work, but I can't be sure either way (someone else may have tested this).
    In the past, even if iTunes updated the iPod, there tended to be problems syncing.

  • Conflicts Using New ATV with old ATV...

    This may be a stupid question, but is there any limitation in having an old and a new ATV hooked up at the same time?
    2nd question. I have a subscription to MLB.com that provides video/sound of almost all baseball games on my MBP. I can watch them on my big screen if I jack in my HDMI output cable to a spare HDMI port on my flat screen. I'm wondering if I would be able to stream them instead with a new ATV instead of messing around with cabling.

    The new Apple TV has a MBL feature, you wouldn't need any cables or your MBP to watch baseball if you had the Apple tv.

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

    Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.
    Ian Turner wrote:
    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

  • Using an Ipod Nano with a Mac OS X and a PC on Windows XP

    Hello,
    I have a MAC OS X at home and a PC with Windows XP at work. I have been using my Ipod Nano at home for quite a lon time, but I have tried to use it at work for the first time.
    However, when I try to see the music content on my PC, it says that my Ipod is formatted for MAC and that I need to reformat it if I want to use it with the PC.
    The problem is that if I reformat it, I will lose all its content and I am afraid to be obliged to reformat it when I want to connect it to my MAC again.
    How can I do to be able to use my Ipod with my MAC and with my PC?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Pentium 4   Windows XP  

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC. Strictly speaking using a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac isn't supported however many people use one without any issue. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac; however, Apple currently only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

    The password for wireless network was changed.  Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

    You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
    Suggest you give that a try.

    new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

    See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
    It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
    It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
    The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
    iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
    Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

    Thank you & Best Regards

    I think this is essentially saying that the Supervisor Assignment is wrong or no longer effective. Looking at your SQL to fetch the Supervisor Assignment there are a number of potential issues. This is what you've currently got:
    SELECT person_id
    INTO v_person_id
    FROM per_all_people_f
    WHERE employee_number = r.supervisor_number
    AND business_group_id= v_business_group_id;
    SELECT assignment_id
    INTO v_sup_assignment_id
    FROM per_all_assignments_f
    WHERE person_id = v_person_id
    AND business_group_id = v_business_group_id;
    Potential Problems/Clarifications
    1. What is r.supervisor_number, what does it contain and how is it derived? I can't see that anywhere else in the block...
    2. Is there a chance that r.supervisor_number is referencing an employee who has left, ie, now an ex-employee?
    3. The SELECT statement that fetches the assignment_id does not perform any date-effective restrictions, which means you might be lucky enough to fetch the person's current assignment. But you might also fetch an old or future-dated assignment.
    4. The SELECT statement that fetches the assignment_id does not restrict the type of assignment, so if this manager has applied for a job (ie, they have an applicant assignment) or some other type of non-employee assignment you might be picking that up.
    This would work better for you:
    SELECT paaf.assignment_id
    INTO v_sup_assignment_id
    FROM per_all_people_f papf
    ,per_all_assignments_f paaf
    WHERE papf.employee_number = r.supervisor_number
    AND papf.business_group_id = v_business_group_id
    AND nvl(papf.current_employee_flag, 'N') = 'Y'
    AND trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN
    papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
    AND papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
    AND paaf.assignment_type = 'E'
    AND paaf.primary_flag = 'Y'
    AND trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN
    paaf.effective_start_date AND paaf.effective_end_date;
    If it doesn't return a row it means that the supervisor (or whatever employee is returned by r.supervisor_number) is not active as at sysdate and cannot be used. Note that this SQL only applies for employees. If you can have Contingent Workers as supervisors in your implementation then this needs tweaking.
    Does that help?

Maybe you are looking for
