G4 Cube/OS 10.3.9 and iPod Nano

Hi All: I had a 2006 macbook die on me, and I dusted off my old G4 Cube temporarily and restored my iTunes library onto it (I had backed it up to DVD recently).
I had iTunes 7.5.5 on the cube, and it restored fine, but when I connected my iPod 8Gb Nano I got an error "requires iTunes 8 or better"...but it seems like iTunes 8 won't install on 10.3.9...is there any way around this?

you can sync your ipod classic with mac os x panther if you download the application "floola" (http://floola.com/) you might need to connect it first to a mac 10.4 (maybe you can do it at a friend's house?) im not sure but after that (if you do have to do that) then it WILL WORK! I hope this helps.

Syncing iPhone and ipod nano toi the same iTunes

I have an iPhone (16GB) and and Ipod nano (4GB) and about 9GB of content in my iTUnes. IS it possible to sync both these to the same iTunes library on the same pc. All the iTunes content is on the iPhone but it is too much for iPod nano. I use the two for different things for eg: the nano has nike Plus on it and I also use it for gym etc
in Effect, can you have 2 different libraries to sync with different ipods on the same PC and iTunes

Yes, you can use multiple devices with one library, I use 2 regular iPods and a shuffle (I have a friend who syncs both an iPhone and a Nano, she syncs each with it's own separate playlist). You can for instance have one sync the entire library and another sync a selected playlist or playlists. iTunes recognises each device that is connected and they can each have their own individual settings: There are several different ways to use multiple devices with one computer, you can read more heres: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

Synch between iPad, iPhone and iPod nano

When I buy music on ITunes from iPad, how can I transfer the music to my iPhone and iPod nano without using a PC?

With an iPhone then if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then it should appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. For the Nano you can't, you will need to copy the music from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and then sync it to the Nano (and similarly for the phone if you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded) - you can't connect either of them to your iPad for direct trasnfer.

Why is the Nike apps different on the iTouch and iPod nano

Can someone explain why Apple put different apps on iTouch and iPod nano and call it only Nike +. There are obvious difference in the apps. I want the app that stores heart information...but the Nike + app on the iTouch only records distance ran. Why not make one app that does both?
what is the deal and can I load the Nike + app that comes on the nano on my iTouch 4gen?
Will the Nike + app for the iTouch be upgrade to work with the Polar heart band and Nike + Gym?

Yes and Yes.
When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
Notifications view - on
Today view - on
Today summary - on
Calendar day view - off
Reminders - on
Stocks - off
Tomorrow summary - off
Sort by Time
The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Ice-Link Plus and iPod Nano 3G

Hi,
I've been using an Dension Ice-Link plus and iPod Nano 1G in my Alfa GT for two years without any problem. Now I'm thinking in buying a new Nano 3G but I don't know the Ice-Link is fully compatible with the new Nano 3G.
The Dension Support hasn't answer yet to this question.
I suppose it will be as the base connector haven't changed but I'd like to know if someone in this forum could confirm it or not.
Thanks,

I use the Ice Link Plus in my BMW, and I can confirm that the Nano 3G indeed works with my system. Ought to work with yours aswell.
Must say that I'm a bit disappointed on Dension aswell... they could have done this test and written some info on their site. Buying the Nano 3G was a bit of a gamble for me =)

Windows vista 64 bit and ipod nano

Hi, we are having problems getting our 3 new ipod nano generation 5 to work on our windows vista computer. Itunes won't recognize them have tried to uninstall itunes but get a message to verify we have sufficient access to that key, or contact support personnel, and then we click ok and it stops the uninstall does anyone know how to correct this problem or what we need to do to get the ipods to work on itunes with windows vista 64bit computer? I saw an answer for a 32bit computer but read that it is different for a 64bit computer. Thanks!

I, too, am having the same problems. Very frustrating to have a nano 4 generation that needs only the latest iTunes software but a computer that requires 64 bit software.
If you get an answer, let me know. I even paid to have music loaded on my nano ipod yesterday and because it was attached to my computer, when I booted up, it somehow went to checkdisk mode and cleaned all the music out! Am ready to throw it out and get a non-Mac ipod instead. But if you have THE answer, I'd really like to hear about it. Thanks.

CD, DVD and ipod nano issues

I just bought a new iPod nano- the first I have ever owned. I installed the iTunes software and that works okay. I plugged in the nano to the computer and the computer recognizes the nano, but iTunes does not. When I open iTunes, I get the following error message: "iTunes Setup Assistant. Warning! The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a sreult of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I have tried reinstalling iTunes several times and it still won't work. I did install the software on my brother's computer and it worked fine, but I can't use that computer on a regular basis. Please help!!!! Thanks!

hiya!
"Warning! The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a sreult of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
for some advanced techniques for dealing with that message, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
but if you'd prefer to try some quicker and dirtier techniques, you could try:
reboot and repair
reboot the PC (very important), and then do a repair install of itunes. go to your Add/Remove programs, select itunes, click "change/remove" and select "repair".
... if no joy with that:
reinstall the itunes drivers for importing and burning
you can find them here. if you're on a 32-bit system, use the first link on the page:
GEAR drivers
if you've got Norton Ghost installed, read the instructions very carefully. if you still run into trouble with Ghost, see:
Message: "Insert the "Norton Ghost 10.0" disk and click OK." after installing iTunes 6

MS Windows Professional 2000, SP3 and IPOD Nano drivers

I've just received my new iPOD nano and trying to instal software on my laptop I found that it requests SP4 that I couldn't install on my laptop due to policy requirements.
Could I download any previous release or what can I do?I have Administration rights, too so do you advise me to instal SP 4?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Ciao Matz

Welcome to the forums.
Well, if your laptop is not yours, and your not supposed to install anything new on it, such as SP4, then I wouldn't advise you to break the rules.
If you have Admin rights, meaning you are allowed to do things, cause you are admin, then go ahead, cause the service packs are designed to make Windows run better. The service packs don't hurt, they help.
Hope this helps!

Apple has release a new version of iTunes 8, in responce the issues with Vista.
1.Unistall iTunes via StartMenu\Control Panel\Programs and Features
2.Delete all previous iTunes installers.
3.Download iTunes 8 from the Apple website.
4.Makes sure you close Outlook and Explorer and all non-essential programs, as it seems to prevent the install at certain points.
5.Install iTunes 8.
6.After the Install is complete, Open iTunes 8 before attaching your iPhone.
7.Unlock your iPhone if it is lock with a pass code.
8.Attach your iPhone, after a few seconds you should see that it has installed a driver for your iphone, then the iPhone will appear in iTunes.
I hope this helps, as I did spend some time with this issue myself.

Vista Ultimate and iPod Nano Drag and Drop

I upgraded my laptop to Vista Ultimate (which it is not) and I have iTunes 7.1.1.5 running. I use a shared network drive for my music library. I have a 80 G Video IPod that syncs up with no (known) issues. I just got a new iPod Nano and iTunes will recognize it but i can not load music manually. When i try to drag and drop music from my library onto the iPod Nano the drag function does not work. Does anyone know what to do?

More Mac OS 10.2 and iPod nano questions

I did a search and found that other people were able to get their iPod nanos to work using 10.2.8, so I decided to give it a try. How did you do this? When I plug it it in, the iPod just flashes "Do Not Connect" and when iTunes tries to open, I get this error message:
"The iPod "iPod" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.0 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the lastest version of iTunes or install iTunes from the CD that came with your iPod."
What do I do next to make it run with the USB 1.1 ports on OS X 10.2? I have iTunes 6.0.4.
Please help! Thanks!
p.s. I'm starting to get really irritated with Apple. Leopard was supposed to be released late 2006/early 2007. I got this iPod back in Nov last year as part of a promotion. Since I thought Leopard's release was right around the corner, I held out and tried to be patient. Then it was changed to spring 2007. And I thought, well, I've waited this long; another month or two won't kill me. Now it's October 2007??? WTH, man. If I knew it was going to be a full YEAR before I could have used my iPod, I would have just bought Tiger back then. Torture, I tell you.

I didn't say all Nanos wouldn't work on the earlier system. What I was implying was YOUR Nano, which came out AFTER iTunes 7 was releases, has updated firmware that requires iTunes7.
I had the same issue with my two video iPods. My 30GB was purchased back in the iTunes 6 days and worked fine on my computer. A year+ later my wife upgraded me to an 80GB (so she could also take possession of the 30GB) which came out after iTunes7. So when I plugged that one in, it refused to work with iTunes 6 and required iTunes 7.
This is something Apple does with a lot of their hardware. For example, most Mac computers are ROM locked to only be able to run the Operating system they shipped with or higher. So you can not take my OS 10.3 eMac and try to load 10.2 onto it. It won't go. Same with the iPods. If the iPod came out when iTunes 6 was the release, they will work fine with iTunes 6 or iTunes 7, but if they came out after the release of iTunes 7, they tend to be locked to iTunes 7 or higher. This is why you often see the simultaneous release of a new version of iTunes when there is a major update or new release of an iPod model.
