How to upgrade 10.2.8 to at least 10.4.10 for using iPod Touch

Just received an iPod Touch, and my mac operates on 10.2.8. I need to upgrade to at least 10.4.10. Can I download the upgrade, or do I have to buy the software and load with discs? Any major issues I should be aware of when upgrading? I have a 1Ghz processor.

10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 are major upgrades that must be purchased and installed via CD or DVD. Only 10.5 is currently available from Apple unless you can find a copy of 10.4 still on the shelf at an Apple Retail Store (doubtful) or other reseller.
10.4 comes only on DVD so you must have a DVD drive in your iMac to install. There once was a CD-for-DVD exchange program but it's expired.
Buy only full retail install disk sets. The grey system disks that come with specific models may not work on your computer.

  • How do I transfer my current iTunes Library for a 5th gen. Nano to a used iPod touch 2nd gen.?

    I was given a used iPod touch 2nd. gen because my old faithful 5th generation nano was tragically washed. But I'm scared to just plug the new one into my computer to see what happens. I want to make sure I don't lose all of the music I have on my nano. Anyone know how to do this?

    Your music should be on your computer.  Sync it to your ipod.

  • How do I force a manual sync for my iPod touch w/iTunes v.11.0.1.2?

    After the upgrade to iTunes 11.0.1.2 I am unable to find a way to force a manual sync for my iPod Touch.  Also, some of the podcasts seem not to go into the proper folders, they wind up in an "unkown album" folder after downloading.  Is there a way to fix this or even manually move them into the proper folders(albums)?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

  • I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing.  How do I get it back?

    I bought a used ipod touch.  The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone.  How do I get the icons back and start over?

    If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

  • Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.

    Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.  Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this?  The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs...  The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it.  iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

    Try here:

    You have a driver/service problems and that is covered in the above.

  • I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

    I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and a separate 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so the 2 libraries are completely separate? Thanks

    You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
    I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
    Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
    You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

  • I bought a used ipod touch from someone on craigslist and it has a password on it which I do not have.  How do I reset the ipod

    Have a used ipod touch which apparently have a passcode on it.  I do not have the passcode and the seller will not respond to me.  How can I access the ipod to open it and reset everything. 

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

    If not successful, try DFU mode.

  • How can I get apps for my ipod touch with ios 2.2?

    I've been trying to search for games/apps for my iPod Touch but can't seem to find anything that doesn't required iOS 3.0 or greater.
    Does anyone have any suggested apps/games for the older gen ipod touch?  Is there a way to search the apps store for these older apps?

    If I may ask, why do you not just upgrade your iPod's operating system? Even the first-generation iPod touch can run iOS 3, and the 2nd-generation iPod touch can run iOS 4, though not all features work. Then you would have a much broader range of apps available to you.
    Regards.
