Help me please! 60gb video ipod will it work on imac g3

I've got an imac g3 333mhz and for christmas got an ipod video 60gb, I was using system 9.1 but have installed 9.2 and 10.1 to run along side each other, however 10.1 is not happy!
I know I need to download 10.2.8 or 10.3.4 but how, none of the updates go from 10.1 that high, do I need to buy 10.2 from somewhere, and will it work if I do, is my mac going to be compatible with my ipod or do I need to buy a new mac, sorry to be so wet, I haven't updated in years but so want to be able to use my pressy, please help me.

The new iPod requires at least OX X 10.3.9 or later.
Any upgrade to a 10.3.x or later will be purchased upgrade for you. There are no free downloads to upgrade a 10.1.x machine to 10.2.x, 10.3.x or 10.4.x.
What are the full specs of your computer? RAM, HD size, etc. You might need to upgrade your computer hardware in order to even install 10.3.9 on your machine successfully.
Macs do last quite a long time, and I'm sure your machine still has life left in it... but you might want to consider purchasing a newer Mac. Yours is certainly outdated.

    My Ipod will not work anymore its just the apple showing could you please help me restart?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Yes, I am connected to the Internet through my wifi. Everything is working fine with the e  eption of youtube.  I have reset all Internet settings and have tried synching to iTunes followed by rebooting.  This is all the advice I have found although none of it has been helpful.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?

  • My ipod will only work in disc mode

    My iPod will only work in disc mode, when i take it off of disc mode it appears with the apple sign but nothing else -
    help please.

    Yes a Restore will erase your iPod. But this shouldn't be an issue since you obviously must have your music in your iTunes library or backed up somewhere else, RIGHT????? After all, it would be silly to have all your music on just the iPod and no where else, RIGHT?

  • Older ipod will not work under itunes11

    My older ipods will not work under itunes 11, Who can help?

    i think at this point we are unsure if the problem is that apple has once again decided to leave something older in the dust (as they've been doing a LOT lately) or that you've found a bug in itunes 11 that will be addressed at a later date. just how old are these ipods? if they were mine and i had to choose between itunes 11 and my ipods i would choose my ipods. right now i would look around the itunes forums and see if anyone else has this problem.

It's as though it is frozen...it never moves from 0:00. Every other aspect of the unit is working...but the songs. Can someone help???

  • Can't sync game with 60GB Video iPod

    This morning I purchased Phase for my iPod. (5thG 60GB Video) And I can not sync this game to my iPod. I get the error {The game "Phase" was not copied to the iPod "mcarrolls iPod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer.} I normally don't sync my music, just manually add content to my iPod, But I checked Sync Games in my iPod tab and I get the error. Then I went as far as to snyc my entire library, deleting hours of ipod formatted video I encoded myself from my ipod, but still wasn't able to get the game to sync. I decided to try a restore, since my iPod was practically empty, still no luck. I purchased an album in iTunes and am able to both sync, and manually add that purchased album to my ipod. Now I have an empty iPod and still can't get my purchased game on to my iPod. Any help?

    Hey mcarroll, how did you get Phase to sync onto your iPod? The same problem occurred with me actually so i probably have to do the same as you did. So, in other words, how did you actually authorize DRM software to be eligible to be synced onto your iPod? Where did you go in settings/preferences that eventually granted you the ability to sync "Phase" onto your iPod? Thanks for letting me know!

  • 60 GB music Ipod Vs 60GB video Ipod

    Hi everibody,
    I am planning to buy a video Ipod and I already own a 60 GB music only Ipod.
    I have a doubt about the possibility of synchronysing of the two Ipods.
    I will be using the same computer and the same data base to do so. Will I experience problems ? Will it be possible ?
    Many thanks for the help.

  • 5G 60GB Video iPod keeps pausing, has difficulty turning off

    Please excuse me if this post appears twice. When I clicked on the "Post message" button at the bottom of the page, nothing happened. I hope. Here's the problem I'm having: my brand-new video iPod pauses itself 6 to 7 times an hour, is difficult to turn off and sometimes turns itself on all by itself. I did the 5R's a couple of times and then sent it in for service. It was returned as a Windows iPod, which took a while to straighten out (the Apple person was very helpful on the phone). However, the service people sent it back to me saying that there is nothing wrong with the iPod, but it still pauses itself all the time. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do videos pause?
    Are you using the headphones that came with?
    Make sure no alarms are set under Extras-->Clock.
    Also, is the software on the iPod up to date?
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Update iPod's Software

  • New Video iPod will not connect

    I have a new video ipod that will connect on one computer but not the one I want to use. I have reloaded itunes several times and checked firewall. When I plug the ipod in the computer makes three dings. Is this an error code of some type? It will not show up in diagnostics and after trying it shuts down internet connection until computer is re-booted. It connects fine on the other computer. Has anyone got any answers? I have tried different plugs and it shows to charge just will not connect.

    You want to check and see if the other computer has usb 2.0 first.
    If it does try to reset the ipod while it is plugged into the computer. Reset is the menu and the center button on the ipod. Also make sure the hold switch is all white.
    Also you want to make you that you try different usb ports.
    If that doesn't work use msconfig type that into the search here on the support page let me know if this works.

  • Ipod updater 2006-06-28 wiped my 60gb video ipod!

    i just tried updating the firmware, and now im getting a message on my ipod saying "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore." i dont want to restore my ipod, i just wanted to update the software!! in windows the ipod is recognized as a drive letter, however when i click on it it says the drive is not formatted and asks if i want to format it. all i want is the firmware to be reinstalled. i saw this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303915 but i dont get any message box that asks if i want to update. and yes i have the newest version of itunes. when i try to run the updater again it just sits there forever and hangs. is there any sort of data recovery software i can use to get my songs back? i would like to just update it again without having to lose all my data. thanks.

    Same thing happened to me (well my 30gb video iPod XD) And to a lot of people, apparently. My iPod has been comatose (I REFUSE to say it's dead) since Monday after the iPod Update. It's NEVER had problems before, so I lay the blame on the Update. It took forever to "update" (I had it in for hours) and when I finally dced it (prematurely apparently?? I don't know how leaving it in a couple hours and then taking it out makes it premature but okay iPod Updater...) it flashed to the Apple screen, which I then reset, and now it's in its comatose state
    I have really nothing to contribute but to say it's happened to me, too XD I've had no luck at other threads so if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated Thanks

  • 60GB video ipod labeling system

    Anyways, I have a 60GB black Video Ipod and I want to organize my music and videos, etc... but let's say when I want to put music videos, movies, etc on the ipod 'video' folder, it puts them all under the music video folder and not the respective ones (it puts them all in the music video folder)
    So, if I wanted to play watch Ladder49 on my ipod, it would have it labeled it under 'music videos'. Along with all of the other videos and movies i have. That kinda defeats the ipod's organizing labels if it puts them under the same label...
    Hopefully, that makes sense. Anyone know what to do to fix this issue or how to put them in their respective labels?

    Read this, it applies to any video you want to label, except the TV Shows option. Use it and you won't find your videos. You are confined to Movies and Music Videos. I personnally make a playlist and drag my files into them. I have one for Movies, Cartoons etc.
    Videos labeled TV Shows in iTunes don't appear on iPod:
