Anyone with a new iPod Shuffle that works with Powerbook G4 OSX 10.3.9 ???

I just bought the new iPod Shuffle also and my Mac OSX 10.3.9 operating system is not recognizing the iPod. This is a big issue since they are supposed to be compatible.
I called AppleCare 2 times and spent 1hr+ at the Apple Store Genious Bar. Here's the deal ... basically the new iPod Shuffle is NOT compatible with 10.3.9 ... I would guess you are having the same issue. My iPod Shuffle works fine with Tiger OS. The Genious Bar tested my computer with Tiger OS to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue and the iPod Shuffle worked fine ... but not with 10.3.9. This is definately an operating system compatibility issue.
Let me know if anyone has the same issue or better yet ... if you iPod works with Powerbook G4 OSX 10.3.9.

I too purchased a new Shuffle and could not get it to work with any software on my PowerBook G4 running the latest Panther (10.3.9). (Only the Disk Utility could see the Shuffle.) I also tried it on my PowerMac G5 running the latest Panther Server, and my PowerMac G4 running the latest Tiger. Given that multiple hardware AND OS configurations were failing, I had to conclude that it was some errant software I had installed on all 3 machines. (As an additional indicator, NONE of my machines would play DVDs anymore: inserting a DVD produced the dreaded "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read.")
The culprit turned out to be the kernel extensions installed by my (older) Lexar Secure jump drive. These files are in directory /System/Library/Extensions.
IOLexarEncryptFilter.kext
IOSCSILexarCommandsDevice.kext
LexarFilterScheme.kext
I do not know if it is just one of them or all 3, but I moved all of these files out of the Extensions directory and rebooted. Presto: the DVDs play and the new Shuffle can be seen by iTunes, etc.
Note that I do not necessarily recommend messing about in the the kernel extensions directory. If anyone has a better method for removing these extensions (I couldn't find anything on the Lexar support site), then I would be grateful for your input.

My new iPod won't work with iTunes 6 but...

Is it safe to get iTunes 7 yet?
Because I tried it before but it made the music dodgy.
So I eventually got 6 back, but it won't work with my new iPod.
Help?

I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

New iPod Touch not working with G3 iMac

I got a new iPod Touch (4 gig) for Christmas. Tried plugging it into my iMac Power PC G3, and I get an error message. ( error OxE000001). Is my iMac too old to work with the iPod touch?
Also as a second issue, I have a wireless network, but I don't have it broadcasting it's name for security. When I turn on my lap top, if it doesn't automatically find the wifi network, I just type in the network name, and it pops up.
Any way to do this with the iPod Touch? (Type in the network name, even though it's not broadcast)
I'll also list this question on the WIFI section.

Ken;
I AM running with iTunes 9.0.2. in my slot loading G3 iMac. There is no special Hack.
You tried to help me earlier, when my G3 just would not work after I upgraded Safari and iTunes. I ended going to the Genius bar, where they worked on it for hours to get it going again. They installed earlier versions of both programs.
I was going to keep it that way, until I was given an iTouch for Christmas. The iMac just did not see it. I was resigned to updating my iTouch through my son's iBook.
In a question I had about upgrading my wireless network, John Galt said his 500mhz G3 worked OK with the iTouch. Over two weeks I slowly installed what he had, (or close to it) I think Safari has a G3 version, that I may have missed when you were helping me.
The last thing I upgraded was iTunes 9.0.2. After three or four tries, and plugging in the iTouch USB cable directly into the iMac, the iTouch was recognized! It seems to work fine over the past week or so.
Some odd things I have to live with. When I plug in the iTouch, iPhoto will start and ask about downloading pictures from the iTouch. I have to manually start iTunes if it is not already on. It does not automatically start like it does with my iPod nano.
Also I did not realize how slow this machine is, I thought down loading a CD through a La Cie DVD/CD player at 1.3x speed was fast. My son's iBook downloads a CD a 9 x speed! Oh well... slow but steady.....

I have tried everything to get my new ipod nano to work with Windows 8. Do I need to install new drivers or what?

Got a ipod nano for Christmas. Installed already bought tunes on it with my computer at the time which was running Vista OS. Had to buy a new computer in March with Windows 8. Did not buy any songs until April 29th or so...but they will not show in my ipod nano. Talked with a tech and he got my songs into the new computer. However, after we hung up, I tried to download the 2 new songs into my ipod and it would not do it. I noticed that the "cloud" icon was not by any of the songs - only the word: downloaded. I am thinking that since this is a 64 bit computer that I need to do something else, but don't know what. Can you help me? Thank you

So you have tried a different USB sync cable and as well as plugging it into all the USB ports on your system? Did you try removing all other USB peripherals (excluding keyboard and mouse if necessary) to see if that did any good?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac?

Can anyone recommend a NAS media server that works with iTunes 10.5?

I currently have an Iomega Home Media Server but have given up on Iomega ever updating their firmware to work with the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions for a suitable (not Iomega) replacement would be gratefully received.

non out of the box
the apple programs support accessing from shared itunes lib but only true ones even nas's which say they work like shared libs don't work
some nas like my sonology have apps for ios which allow me to play the media from them
and general upnp apps are also supported but you need to use 3th party apps

What good is a NEW iPod shuffle that doesn't work?!

Has Apple fixed the problem regarding the shuffles not be a recognized driver?
I cannot believe that a company as huge as Apple, has not problem-solved and found an answer for people who purchased it's product.
I feel very frustrated, and my 3 kids -- all waiting for me to get their iPods working, are annoyed.
Thank you, Apple.

I trashed mine (iGB Shuffle) after many days spent. My shuffle just stop working one day. I tried everything from Apple website suggested 10 times at least. Still no good. I am an Information System professional. I deal with this kind of problems daily. But we all rely on the manufacturer to provide helps. AFter 90 days, you have to pay to be able to 'chat' online with support. I bought new Toshiba Gigabeat. Cheaper and 'IT WORKS'. So return the products and get your money back buy something else. good Luck!!!

New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.
# PC with USB 2.0 port
# Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
# iTunes 7.6 or later

How can I get my new iPod shuffle to work in my 2013 Honda Fit?

I keep getting an "unsupported device" display on the radio.

Are you connecting it to a USB port on the car audio system?
Does the car audio system have an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack? If so, you can get something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
and connect the shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system aux. audio input, set the car audio system to use that input, and play the shuffle through the car audio system.

Does anyone know a USB WIFI connection that works with the Intel Powerbook and OS 10.7.5

I have replaced my AIRPORT EXTREME card because it dropped connection and wouldn't turn back on.
It worked fine for 14 months, but now it is broken again.
I have given up.
I would rather replace a 20-30 dongle everytime rather than the airportexpress card.

that should say a $20-$30 dongle.

New 3G IPhone. Why won't my IPOD Classic headphones work with 3G?

Why won't my new IPOD Classic earphones work with my new 3G IPhone? These are the original earphones that came with the IPOD and IPhone. Thanks.

When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!

How can I get iTunes to recognize my new iPod shuffle?

I have a new iPod shuffle, but when I plugged it into my MacBook Pro to charge it and put music on, nothing happens. It does not appear to be charging and does not show up on my iTunes. The USB port works fine, and iTunes recognizes my iPhone and iPad. Is there something I am missing here. or should I take it back to the store as defective?

Hi all :-)
