Can the new 5th gen ipod nanos be used with iTunes 8?

I have just installed iTunes 9 today and am DISGUSTED with version 9
already. I have a new 5th gen ipod nano on order and would like to go back to
iTunes 8 ... will the new 5th generation be usable in iTunes 8?
With iTunes 9 being such a launch and introduction disaster ... I may sell my new
iPod because it looks like it will only work with iTunes 9. If that's the case I am selling my
new iPod and picking up a 4th generation ipod on eBay.
It looks to a lot of Mac users, like Apple really screwed up iTunes 9 ... and as a result,
may turn many new prospective iPod Nano and iTouch owners off from purchasing any
of the newer iPods until Apple redesigns or seriously modifies iTunes 9.

So are you just going to keep posting this in every incorrect forum?

    What exactly are you finding so disgusting in iTunes 9? I have yet to find anything repugnant.
    If you want to keep iTunes 8 I would suggest you buy a refurbished 4th Generation from the online iTunes Store and cancel your order for the 5th Generation.

  • The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

    No.  You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

  • TS1369 why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

    why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • 5th gen iPod won't sync with iTunes

    I have recently upgraded my iTunes to version 8. Now my iPod won't mount. I get the following error when I plug in the iPod: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I've restored at least 6 times and nothing. I have also downgraded to the previous version of iTunes and it still won't work. Please help me. Right now I have a 30Gb lump of coal sitting in my desk. (The restore obviously removed all my music for it.)

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • The New 2nd Gen Ipod Nano is out to get me! Help me please!

    Okay, so the new Ipod Nano's have come out, and so I bought one.
    I'm really happy with it and everything, but sadly, and for some unknown reason everytime I connect it to my pc via USB, it makes my pc crash. Well not so much as crash but freeze? The Ipod sits idly by laughing at me and my PC. Make it stop! Its evil.
    The thing is, no error message appears on either, and also when I do connect my Ipod to my pc, theres several secounds before it does in fact crash, and in that time the Nano isn't getting detected.
    I've reset the Ipod, reset my pc, updated my version of Windows like it says you should, made sure theres no virus or anything running a riot on my pc. So I can't think whats wrong with it.
    My Pc operates on Windows XP, and the thing is, its quite the a good PC, and this is the first time its done this. I've tried it on my mums laptop which also runs on XP, but the thing is the laptop my mum has is like 5 years old and the Ipod is recognised as soon as you connect it.
    _< I'm getting really annoyed now, and I dont know what to do. Or even I dont know what else to do. I've spent the last two days doing everything I can think of, trying different USB ports, well, everything you can think of, the only thing left is reinstalling windows, and right now I cant do that as I dont have any way of backing up some of my files. </div>
    Please can you help me! Anyone? -.- I need help....

  • What does the new 5th gen iPod boxing look like?

    I want to go buy it, but I am not sure how I can tell between the old(pre-september 12) iPod "video" and the new one. Is the boxing different like the iPod nano? Thanks for looking

    I have the new box, but I don't know what the old box looked like so I don't know if it's different. There's nothing that obviously designates it as the new iPod except that I got the 80GB version. But for the 30GB version, I guess you'd have to check the Part Number, which is shown on the bottom of the box.
    I got the white version, so the box is black with a white iPod showing on the front. It's about 6 x 6" square and about 1 1/2" thick. iPod pictured on top and bottom - on top with a song playing "Dani California", and on bottom with a movie (Pirates of the Carribbean). Actually the Pirates theme may be a key to the new ones. The thin sides have an iPod in profile, the apple logo on each side, fine print on the botton, and "80GB 20000 songs PC+Mac" on top.

  • 5th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes

    I plugged in my 5th gen nano and itunes told me that it could not recognize it and I had to factory reset it. I factory reset it and now it won't connect to itunes. it connects to my computer and it says connected on the ipod screen, but it won't let me sync my songs to it. I have the latest version of itunes 11.0.1. I already reinstalled itunes, restarted my conputer and restarted my ipod. Is there anything else I can try?

    I seen this problem a lot. Since you are a Windows user (I can make it real easy). If you don't have the side screen (left hand side)..... look at the Top Right Hand side (under the close button [red X] ).... you should see your iPod there. If it doesn't work, try to reset your entire iPod and it should connect to your iTunes......

    i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

    You have 2 options:  #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
    #2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
    Thanks,

  • Brand New 5th Gen iPod Touch Won't Connect to Wifi

    I just got a brand new 5th gen iPod Touch and expected to have a fun night of playing with it, but instead I was trying to figure out why it won't connect to my network. Not a good introduction to a product.
    Here is the related info and troubleshooting steps I've already tried:
    - It will not connect to my wifi network
    - The iPod Touch says "Unable to join the network [network name]" when I try to connect to my network (as opposed to "Could not find the network [network name]" when it is not the correct network name)
    - I was able to connect to a random unsecure network nearby
    - Of course I power cycled my router and modem to reset them
    - My wireless router does not broadcast its SSID; I made it broadcast it and it still didn't connect
    - My network is password protected. I tried changing the security type, as well as turning the password off altogether, but nothing worked
    - My wireless router is a Netgear WGT624 v3
    - Even though it's brand new, I tried resetting the iPod Touch and the network settings
    Does anyone have any tips or solutions for this?
    I wasn't able to find other people with this problem, at least not with solutions that I haven't tried. It's really frustrating not being able to connect to the internet with my new device.
    I will point out that my Android phone connected to my wifi network on the first try with no problems.
    Thanks

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up

  • 5th Gen iPod Not Being Recognized by iTunes

    5th Gen iPod w/Updater 1.3. iTunes Ver. 7.6.2.9
    Two weeks ago purchased music with no problems; sync'ed library w/iPod w/no problems.
    Purchased music a few days ago- no problems. Started iTunes today to sync iPod and got msg saying registry values missing for certain drivers for burning discs, etc. Cause could be from other programs that burn discs etc.(???)
    Plugged in iPod, got the tone beep and then a message that iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod attached. Disconnect and reattach. Did this several times - still doesn't work. I can play tunes from my iTunes library and my iPod OK - just can't sync them up. Anyone got a solution??
    Thanks, Unicorn39

    Well,after digging into the 1000's of msgs regarding problems similar to mine I found something I thought might help at (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538). I teied it and found that my drivers were OK so that wasn't the problem. While trying things I suddenly got the iPod recognized and it started sync'ing. I think the solution to my issue was to connect the iPod first; wait for it to be recognized by the pc (the tone beep) then go thru the acceptance of iTunes agreement, etc., iTunes then opened and the sync process began. I tried it with iTunes open and it won't work. It sounds like a hokey way to do it but at least I have my library and iPod in sync.
    My next problem to work on is there seems to be registry problem with iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's. Got to figure that out and fix.
    Since I do have CopyTrans I may just re-install a back-level of iTunes and copy my iPod into the new iTunes library.

  • Downgrade firmware on iPod nano to work with iTunes 5

  • 3rd Gen Ipod won't sync with Itunes since upgrade to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and since then my trusty 3rd Gen Ipod will not sync with iTunes (9.0.3). It mounts in Finder, but does not appear in iTunes. The iPod will still charge, but it constantly displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message until manually ejected.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Thank you kindly
