It's not just iTunes you need to update...
You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
See iPod touch system requirements here.
Leopard is available from Amazon here.

Do I need SP3 for the newer drivers?

$ I just purchased an X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro and thought about upgading to the newer 2.7.0004 driver but wasn't sure if I needed SP3 for XP or if it would just work fine with SP2. I'm running SP2 and have read some not so good stuff about SP3, so I really don't want to have to upgrade to it if I don't have to. Thx.

I've just spent at least an hour on Creative's various site pages trying to find the exact UPDATED ?DRIVER for my "antique" SB AUDIGY (Model Number: SB0090).
Finally found a reference to it, but like the original poster, I don't want to screw up my now-working system. I especially DO NOT want to install MS's SP3!
Here's my question: Where (on Creative's web site) can I find the latest driver update that?DOES NOT REQUIRE SP3?
I could barely?find the one I found!
For reference:
* Model Number of my SB Audigy?card: SB0090
* Serial Number: MSB00902 00843

Thanks to warranty my old iPod 4 will be replaced so I will Get a new iPod 4. Is there any chance I can replace that brand new iPod 4 64GB for new iPod 5 32GB?
iPod 4 64GB is worth more than iPod 5 32 GB but I still would rather have the new one. Is there any chance I can get that?

New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

Hi abbeyesque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

Need help syncing new ipod touch to Itunes.

I recently bought a brand new Ipod touch 5th gen. I have the latest update for itunes, I want to start syncing music to my Ipod. My computer will not bring any info for this ipod touch into itunes. I had a 4th gen and I know that I seen on the right hand corner, under the search store, there should be a little icon with your Ipod below. No where is my Ipod been found. Every time I plug the USB cord into the computer, I don't see anything come on the screen. All I see is the battery charging on my Ipod. I'm getting frustrated with this Ipod not allowing me to get any music. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why no firewire support for new iPods?

If firewire is so much better and faster why did the geniuses at Apple decide to discontinue support for it? It took me over 30 minutes to upload music & videos to my new iPod w/ USB, which would have taken 5-10 minutes with Firewire. I don't get it!

They did it because they obviously didn't see the need for it.
Either you have a usb 1.1 port, or have about 500mb of music. The speeds aren't that different between USB2.0 and FW. In fact, i think USB is faster. Stop complaining here, this is only a user-user support forum.

Older powerbook, trying to get it up to snuff for new ipod

First, thanks in advance for your help.
I am trying to run a new ipod Classic on my G4 Powerbook with the following specs:
OS: Mac OS X 10.3.9
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: PowerBook G4 15", CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1), Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz, L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 K, Memory 256 MB, Bus Speed:167 MHz
I am aware (now) that I need 10.4.8 or higher (I know it's written on the box...). I have read through roughly 25 pages of posts and could not find the answer to my questions. Here they are:
How do I upgrade my current OS to 10.4.8 or higher given my hardware limitations (add more RAM? Possible even?)?
- I saw that Leopard was too much for my modest Powerbook, but think maybe Tiger will get me there. Am I wrong to think that?
Can I use Tiger on this CPU? Will it run 10.4.8 or higher? How do I find and install Tiger as I cannot buy it anymore from the online store, only Leopard is available.
Do I need a new computer to run my iPod, or does someone here have a suggestion as to what I could possibly do short of buying a whole new CPU for my new iPod to connect with?
Again, thanks very much for your help, and I hope there are some options available to me.
Best regards,
NSS

There's nothing wrong with your question. There are just no great answers.
OS10.4.x Tiger would be fine for you, much better with 1-2GB of RAM. However, it's hard to find for sale now commercially. I have no idea if the license allows a private party to sell you their old copy or not. Maybe in a year, some of the used equipment vendors will have it, but even then, the price will probably be so close to just buying Leopard, you may as well do that. Especially if you upgrade RAM.
As a practical matter, I would suggest upgrading RAM to 1 or 2 GB and buying Leopard OS10.5.x. Unless you don't have a DVD drive, or are tied to using Classic. Leopard doesn't run Classic.

Microphone for new iPod nano?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a microphone you can buy for the new iPod Nano? I record a lot of acoustic music and need to get it into my iTunes Library. I'd rather not carry my iBook around.
Thanks
Aluminum iPod Nano, iBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the new nanos can do recording - the old ones cant.
im confused, is this nano your speaking about the
black glossy one?, cuase if it is the microphone
is
not compatible with it is it?
the new nanos are the 2 generation of the old ones, only apple snatched the samsung glossy nanos since they had the patent and jumped on it at that quarter year, yes seccess story.
But as i remember, they all record yet apple never provided a microphone solution for them., and the older iPods all have accesories like mics etc etc. and all the new iPods do not, or maybe the 30 and 60 gigs do but are very expensive.
Can anyone confirm how to record on a nano and what mics to get?

Games for new iPOD classic

I just bougth a new iPOD classic. One friend that came to USA to Colombia bougth the iPOD and now I want to install some games. But I saw that if I want to buy games I need an account and an address from USA. I don't have that options... how can I get some games for my new iPOD classic.
Thanks...

Um.... yeah I bought my Classic to play music on. I rarely play video games but there were two I had to buy since they were available for the classic, Ms Pacman and Tetris. I also use mine to watch videos that I purchase from iTunes, I have several TV shows seasons.
Why does it matter what I use my iPod for?

How do i transfer music from old ipod to itunes for new ipod

Im not sure how I am suppose to take the 200 songs that i dont have on my itunes that is on my old ipod, and how Im suppose to transfer this music onto my itunes to get it on to my new ipod??? oh and clicking on the enable disc use isnt working so please and suggestions would be great

Hi Jperto99
You need to Either get 3rd party software or do it this way
You need to be able to view hidden files on your computer , you need to go to the control panel and find folder options. (i believe that you could change the settings on in the windows explorer by clicking view at the top menu bar. you need to click it so that you can see the hidden files. (i think this explains simply what i said Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”)
Next find your ipod now if you have enabled hidden files you need to click on your ipod and find a folder called ipod control. the folder itself will look different maybe a bit transparent because it is hidden. Next you will go in and if you explore further you will see loads of files (transparent like ipod control) with things like F34 F01 (or F1) etc.
They are the files with your music on it and if you click on them, they will show music files but they wont have names. they are encrypted with file names like AKLY (basically four letters or 3 letters put together in capitals) so to get the names and other suff back simply drag the music files into itunes or import them individually (the folders) into itunes by clicking file, import into itunes and by folder.
Then once you have done this the names should be correct in Itunes.
Alternitavely you can drag all the files in 'ipod control' into an external Hard Drive if you go into itunes prefrences you can let itunes put all your music on your computer into organized files of album names.
Hope that Helped (if you don't understand what i said this guide is pretty good http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P0)
Also if your willing to spend money by doing all of this in one click then this program for £14 (not sure in $) is really good. the free version (does 5 songs at a time) but the great thing is, is that it transfers directly to itunes you can get it here http://www.findleydesigns.com/
You can get other free 3rd party software ill try and find a list for you if you want

Recommendations for speaker/charge dock for new iPod Nano 5th generation 8g

I have searched and searched for a speaker/charging combo dock for my new iPod Nano 5th generation 8gb player. None of them specifty they work with this latest iPod version.
Any recommendations?

I think I have the same question more or less. I bought a cheap Best Buy memorex speaker docking station and I need a male to female IPOD cable so that I can Play the radio and charge the IPOD at the same time as well of course have the head phone jack plugged into the Line In that acts as the antenna.
So if I had the Male to Female cable My dock would charge and the cable to the line in acts as a Antenna. I think this makes sense..
