How can i sync my new ipod touch to a mac ibook

I have an i new ipod touch and have a mac ibook g4 with an operating system of 10.4.11 and for some reason it won't let me sync my new ipod touch to my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yo need to upgrade OSX to 10.5.8. The system requirements for the new 4G iPod Tough are:
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
You can get it on eBay, maybe Craig's list and from the Apple store. However, it is not offered in the on-line Apple store so you will have to call. The price is $129.

  • How can I sync my new ipod touch with my itunes 9.2.1 itunes

    Ok I have got a mac mini running  os 10.4.11 at 1.25ghz 1 gb and have a new 4th gen ipod touch I can't sync it to my itunes 9.2.1 please tell me I can get this to work without paying any more out!!!

    Thanks Jim I thought I might have to upgrade software but to be honest I was looking at investing in a new Mac in the summer but wanted a cheap fix to get my thousands of tunes that i have bought from Itunes onto my new ipod touch Ironically I have a samsung Galaxy s2 I use for work which interfaces with my mac no problem... I find it very odd apple are treating there own customers in this way making me upgrade to interface with their own products!! Which after having macs for the last 20 years i am doubting my decision to carry on with my loyalty to a brand that is doing this!!
    Sorry not your problem.. thanks for the advise.

  • How can I sync my old ipod touch apps to my new ipod touch

    I have an ipod touch 3G and just got an ipod touch 4g, I want to get the apps with their history (such as my calendar and golf scores) on to my new one.
    But apparently I made a mistake when I registered my new touch.  Is there any way I can sync my old apps on to my new ipod touch? 

    Set the new one to be the same name as the old one and it should restore everything on to your knew one.

  • How can I sync my G2 iPod touch with iCloud Contacts

    I have a second generation iPod touch OS 4.2.1.
    My iMac runs OS X 10.7.3 and I have an iPad 3rd generation.
    My Address Book Contacts and iCal Calendars are in iCloud. I have no On My Mac contacts or calendars.
    I can sync my iCloud calendars with the iPod touch by choosing the iCloud calendars identified with my Apple ID in the iTunes calendar sync dialog.
    The iTunes sync dialog for the Address Book, however, does not show my iCloud Contacts and only has a choice for syncing all contacts, which I have chosen.
    My calendars sync to my iPod touch, but my Address Book does not.

    This says that it can't be done.
    But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.
    What is the reason for the difference.

  • How can I get my new IPOD Touch to turn on?

    Just bought the latest IPOD Touch on Amazon.com. I charged the battery, but all I get when I hit the square power button is a picture of the ethernet cable and the ITunes symbol. I cannot get the IPOD to do anything else. What gives? Did I get a lemon?

    Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up iPod touch. Plug it into a USB 2.0 port on your iMac (not a keyboard port) and iTunes should start and lead you through the process.
    Look at the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf and read Chapter 1.

  • How can I sync my current iPod touch to a new computer?

    I am in need of some assistance. I had my iPod Touch synced with my computer, but my computer died and I cannot fix it. I bought a new computer and put iTunes on it, but it tells me that if I want to sync my iPod with it, it will have to erase everything I have put on my iPod. I have been adding things for the past 3 years and I do not wish to lose everything and put nothing on it like iTunes is suggesting. Does anyone know of a way to put what I have on my iPod onto my new pc? Please help!

    Huh?
    You can sync to any computer you like.  You can sycn to your new computer.  You have simply failed to keep your content safe.
    Apple assumes that you will do the very basics of owning a computer and maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    The only issue here is that you failed to do the basics.
    Very sorry.
    Transfer your itunes purchases as I described earler.

  • How can I sync my iMac & iPod Touch calendar & contacts with new iTunes?

    I have just installed the latest iTunes to my iMac. My iPod Touch has iOS 6.0.1. My iMac has OS 10.6.8. I sync by Wi Fi via iCloud. My calendar and contacts are not syncing by Wi Fi between the two, although my mail is. I What should I do?

    This says that it can't be done.
    But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.

  • New buyer question: can I sync my new iPod Touch in the Apple Store?

    I'm heading to Florida in 5 days (I live in the UK), where I'll be buying my iPod Touch (well, I'll hang off as long as possible to try and catch a price-drop or upgrade after 11 July).
    However, it's looking unlikely that I'll have my laptop with me, so I won't be able to sync up to my iTunes library until I get back home to the UK.
    Do you think the staff in the Apple Store would sync and register it for me, so that I can at least use the wi-fi etc. until I get home? I don't want any music or videos on it until I get home, so I don't need anything like that.

    You could ask.
    They may let you plug it to register it so you can use it.
    I doubt they would let you sync it since that would put the music from the computer you are connecting it to.

  • How can i get a new ipod touch for free? i broke the screen of my old one

         i recenly was going on an interview and i dropped my ipod touch and cracked the screen
    . what can i do? my mom broke her ipad, the one with the camera. and she got a new one!
    will apple do the same thing for me?

    You can take your iPod to an Apple Store and ask, but they are not obligated to replace your iPod when you caused damage via an accident. Most likely you'll need to pay for the replacement.
    Good luck.

  • How can i get a new iPod touch from the warranty it has if i lost it?

    i have lost my ipod touch 5g, but i do have warranty. i just dont know how to do it online.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How can I get my new ipod touch to work?

    I have been trying to get the ipod touch (4th gen.) to work.  I tried loading itunes v. 10.5 on my windows 7 but I kept getting an error message.  After searching for answers, I found someone that told me to use v. 9.0 of itunes 64.  I finally got itunes to work and registered my ipod.  Later, I tried to upgrade to v. 10.5 but neither itunes nor quicktime would work right, so I ended up reinstalling the v. 9.0.  The problem is that the computer shows the ipod under devices, but it is not coming up in the itunes menu under devices.  When I ran the diagnostics (under help) it is telling me that there is no ipod.  Is this a defective device?  When I turn it on the only thing I get is the apple symbol.  I'm totally confused.

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch before giving it to my brother or husband?

    I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch, before giving it to my brother or husband?
    Thank you.

    Are you just trying to deauthorize it from your iTunes account, or do you want to totally erase it?
    Your iPod touch is not actually authorized to anything other than the computer you sync it with; it is not authorized with the iTunes store the way your computer is. Giving your iPod to someone else won't give them your store info. Once they plug it into their own iTunes, it will force them to erase the whole thing in order to sync it with their own computer.
    If you want to wipe the thing clean before giving it to them, plug it into your computer and choose the option to Restore it. (Or on the device itself, to go Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.)
