. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Apple says ios 5 works with the 3rd generation ipod but the highest os i have is 4.2.1?!?!?! help!
If 4.2.1 is the latest version, then you have a 2nd gen iPod, not 3rd.

Can I just download the newest itunes and still have my 4th generation ipod work with it?
Download iTunes on the new computer and then:

If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?
Yes, a single serial number can be used to install on two computers and one can be a PC and one a Mac. The download will be a different installer for each platform but the serial number should activate both.

I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?
I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store. The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI. He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
The "solution" was bizarre. On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting. It worked! I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange. Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem. i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon. The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement. Perhaps something similar is happening here.
For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored. It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face. I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem. -

I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version. I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available? Will I need to go back even further? Thanks
Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9:
1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks. Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

Hello, I have purchased and installed Lightroom 5 on my Mac Desktop. I travel with a MacBook Air and would like to have Lightroom 5 on this device as well. The MacBook Air does not have a CD/DVD slot. How do I get Lightroom 5 on my MacBook Air so I can use it while travelling?

Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software. -

Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup. You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!
You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

I have a 4th generation iPod shuffle which is not recognised in windows or iTunes when I connect to the computer , yet I have no problem when I connect my iPhone. I have installed the latest iTunes. Can anybody help me?
Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support. -
I have Creative Suite 5, if I upgrade my mac from 10.6.8 os X to the latest software (I think there is an auto update to snowleopard) will this effect my adobe software?
Or what is involved if I pay for an upgrade?Deactivate the software and then reinstall it after the OSX update.

I have a 4th generation 8GB iPod nano and it will not progress past the blank screen with the white apple logo on it. I have charged it fully and tried to restart it by pressing and holding the menu buttons for 3-7 seconds. The devices screen will turn off and then, after a couple of seconds, the screen with the Apple logo will appear again. This screen will remain lit until the iPod runs out of battery again. I have tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro. I have the newest versions of iTunes software and OS X Mavericks. The computer will not recognize the iPod and the device will not show up in the computers list of devices. I looked up the troubleshooting for the device and found out how to put the device into disk mode. I followed the intructions but the iPod would not go into disk mode. The screen still displayed the Apple logo and would not set into disk mode. I fear that I have run out of options. I have come to this forum in hopes that I can still salvage my device. If there is anything I can do, please loet me know so I can try it. If not, I am affraid I will have to go to an Apple store of authorized retailer and have it repaired or replaced.
Try manually connecting the device to your PC in Disk Mode and then restoring it iTunes.

Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.

Some example vi of the sound and vibration toolset 3.1 use property nodes with an undefined class (e.g. svx_DAQmx Popup for DSA.vi). I use Labview 7.1 and NI-DAQmx. Could it be that the vi uses classes from traditional NI-DAQ?
