Can't use new iPod Nano, cannot upgrade to iTunes 7, running Leopard 10.5.8?

Help!  This is a hybrid question.  I just received my iPod Nano today (the newest one, 7th generation I believe?).  I attempted to connect to my iTunes, and it prompted me to update iTunes.  I am unable to update iTunes because apparently my OS X is outdated.
I believe I am currently operating at 10.5.8.
I spent several hours trying to download the updates only to determine I need a whole other OS X, maybe Snow Leopard or Lion?  I don't believe I can upgrade to Mountain Lion from what I currently have.
I'm REALLY frustrated right now and can't find a Lion download on the Mac website.
I'm operating a white MacBook, circa 2008.  Please help.

Click here; they resumed selling it on the web store after I wrote that.

  • Can you use a iPod nano 4G With iTunes 10

    I was wondering can you use a iPod nano 4G with the new  iTunes 10

    Yes.  All previous generations of your iPods should still work with the latest version of iTunes.

    How do you use new ipod nano with Itunes 10.6.3.  I have MBP and it lists itunes 10.6.3 as most current version and won't let me install itunes 11

    The seventh generation iPod nano requires at least iTunes 10.7 and Mac OS X 10.6.

  • How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?

    How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?

    Hi, China6450.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would recommend setting up Manually manage music.  This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano.  Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.

  • Can I use the iPod Nano cable and AC power supply with the iPhone?

    Just purchased my iPhone 3G. Phone was in my pocket and the AT&T clerk neglected to put the box with the computer cable in the bag with the other accessories.
    Until I can pick it up, can I use my iPod Nano cable? The plug seems the same size but I don't want to break anything.
    Also, there was no power supply in the box due to the recall. Can I use the iPod AC power supply I bought for the iPod? It is the white brick about 3" by 3" by 1" with a USB socket in the side.
    Thank you for helping me with my start-up glitches.

    Ps. When you do get the accessories, look for a green dot (on the side where the prongs of the plug come out). If there, fine; if not, your adapter is subject to the recently announced recall of ultracompact USB adapters.

  • I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

    I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

    I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:

  • Can't sync new ipod nano - music not added

    My old ipod was stolen...bought a new ipod nano and I'm trying to sync...went to account to edit and tried to change computers...clicked on change country but there is still $.13 left on the account so it will not let me change computers...help please

    Hey danlizmil,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to move music from your iPod nano to your new computer, and you’re using the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes which isn’t copying music that wasn’t purchased from the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the supported ways to move your music to a new computer and provides more information about the Transfer Purchases feature.

    Take care,

  • How can I use my iPod as source for reinstalled iTunes?

    Hello @ all.
    Unfortunately I had to completely reinstall my system (WinXP Pro PC) and lost my media library!
    How can I use my iPod as a source to copy all my songs and settings (incl. covers, aso) to iTunes?
    iPod: 30GBs Video iPod
    iTunes Version: 7.0.2.16
    can u guys help me with that?
    Thanks very much!

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    I supposed you have downloaded and installed iTunes 7 on your PC.
    It can be either a problem of your PC or the iPod, let have a prove.
    Try to find any computer (of course with iTunes preinstalled), if your iPod showed up there, then it is a problem on your computer, read this

    If your iPod does not show on any computer, then bring it back to the shop

  • Can't use new iPod with dock

    I purchased new iPod touch, 5th generation, for my teenagers for Christmas, but they cannot use them with their docks, even after purchasing the Apple lightning connector. How can my kids listen to their new iPods through their docks

    When you say 'Lightning connector' what, exactly did you buy?
    I use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to connect my 5thG Touch to a traditional iPod dock.  See picture below.
