Have Product Red Nano, but Want to Use iTunes 6 not 7...any ideas?

I Got an Product Red nano for Christmas, which only works with iTunes 7. I prefer iTunes 6 because of the Volumelogic plugin as I listen to my music a lot at home.
Is there any way I can trick the nano to work with version 6, or somehow have both versions installed at the same time?
I do have an external hard drive and I've tried installing itunes 7 to the computer and itunes 6 to the external - and that didn't work...

Hi,
I have a product red nano too, and I was wondering if you could describe in very simple terms the problem you are having. I would like to take full advantage of my nano, and I don't quite understand what you are saying.
As far as I can tell, you seem to be saying that you can't use the nano with itunes 7 to play music on your computer, but you can if you have itunes 6? Why would apple cripple features in a later release?

    Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
    Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

    Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem.  I just updated to 8.1.3  - I thought the update might fix it.

  • I have an existing iPod account and now have a new nano but my existing account will not recognise the nano. How can I get this to recognise my new device?

    I have an existing account with an iPod classic device. I now have a new nano and want to add this as a secondary device. However when I connect this my account will not recognise the new device. How do I resolve this?

    I have 4 iPods all utilizing iTunes on the same computer.  If you open iTunes and THEN connect the new nano, it should automatically recognize it.  Does it give you an error message?

  • I have my iTunes Library on and external hard drive.  I have a new computer and want to use iTunes and KEEP my files on the external drive.

    My iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and I was able to access / add to the library from my windows laptop.
    I now have a new laptop, and want to be able to KEEP the library on the external drive while being able to use iTunes from the new laptop.
    I have selected "choose library" in iTunes, and have chosen the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
    My media populates in iTunes on the new laptop version of iTunes, but when I click on a song iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
    Your help is kindly appreciated!

    Thanks.  Were the settings shown in your last screenshot in force when you added the song that's shown on being on the C: drive?  It is also possible that at some point you ran iTunes with the external drive disconnected, in which case it will have defaulted to the library on the C: drive, or that you've run iTunes without explicitly selecting the library on the E: drive.  To make sure the latter is the case, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes, then when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your current iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
    Part of your issue may that its not obvious where that current database file is located.  The folder layout on your E: drive isn't the one that's most easily managed - so its possible that the database file could be in:
    E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes
    E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes
    E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes 1
    I suggest that a lot of your issues can be addressed by reshaping your library into the reliable "portable" layout as described in tt2's Make a split library portable user tip.  Comparing your screenshot with the equivalent on my system (where I have a "well-formed" library on an external drive):
    where:
    there is just one iTunes folder with everything used by iTunes inside it
    all media is held within subfolders of the iTunes Media folder
    The way you have yours set up, where the iTunes Media Folder location is set to E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes rather than E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes Media is probably why some of your media is not being located correctly - the extent to which iTunes can correctly resolve locations is, to an extent, reliant on the folders for the different media kinds (Music, Audiobooks, etc.) being inside the iTunes Media media folder.  One common misunderstanding (not helped at all by Apple's documentation!) is that the iTunes Media Folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced does not tell iTunes where to find anything; rather it determines where iTunes will put new additions to your Library, in conjunction with the Copy files to iTunes Media folder ... flag:
    I would definitely take the time to work through the steps to bring your library into the "portable" shape - there may be few remaining issues with broken links when that's complete but this will be much easier to fix if your library is in a more standard structure.

  • Music on external drive but want to use itunes when drive is not connected.  How?

    I used to be able to do this, but can't remember how it was set up.  I have my music on an external drive, but I don't want to have to plug it in everytime I want to access iTunes to use the store or look for apps.

    I have already turned on iCloud Photo Library and it works just fine for my iPhone. BUT, what I want is for it work on my main machine, the macBook Air. I do NOT have an iMac or other to store the "system" Photos library. I do Not have room on my internal drive for the macBook Air ("system" library is located on an external drive). I don't want to have to lug that 3 TB drive with me. It also will not let me move the library file. The library file is close to 40 Gbytes and I have less than 20 left on my internal drive (and I don't dare let it get much smaller than this)....
    Any ideas as to how to do this?
    For my iTunes library, I ran into a similar issue, but I simply started a new library and dragged the files (on my external drive) into iTunes. This told iTunes where they were without copying them to the internal drive.
    I would think something similar should work with Photos, but I don't know how to do it.

  • I have 3rd Generation IPod Touch, it does not boot up.  We have tried to restore, but we are stilling receiving errors.  Any ideas?

    I have a 3rd generation IPod Touch that no longer boot up.  I've downloaded the recovery, but it does not work.  It just lights up briefly and then we receive a message that the IPod drivers are not readable.  Any ideas what we can do to resolve?

    If iTunes is not seeing the iPod try:'
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You said you "download the recovery"?  What is the recovery?

    I live in Iran
    Yesterday I wanted to use iTunes store for windows ; when i have open iTunes it gives me the error 0x80090318 .
    I have search the web alot and i have check lots of Iranian and English website but have not find any solution for
    this problem . Today I have find a software called "Hide my IP" i have opened up that
    when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
    then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."
    And theres a matter that i think that have a connection with this topic and thats , that when i want to go to the lots
    of websites like Google Yahoo! Mail and lots of other website my both browser ( FireFox and IE ) will say" This connection is untrusted " .
    I think the solution of my second problem is the solution of my first problem too !

    Tried all the rest on this site did not work for me
    Follow the link below & this one sorted it for me, it was a conflict in programs using Winsock & I got rid of my old program,
    Sorted.
