I bought a new ipod touch today. I tried to install it and it says i need itunes 10.4 so i tried to download that, it said i needed mac os x 10.5 so i tried to down load that it gave me another message. how do i get my new ipod  onto my mac? Or do i need to return the ipod?

New iPod Touch devices require a minimum of Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 in addition to a fairly recent version of iTunes. If you are running Tiger (10.4) or earlier, you can't just update to Leopard for free; you have to buy it.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

  • I just bought a new iphone 4s and I can't get it to sync to my itunes? help!

    I've follwed all the online support I can find and made sure my itunes was up to date...turned on and off both my phone and my macbook and still can't get my itunes to recongnize my iphone. Any tips out there? I'm brand new to the iphone world!
    Thanks!

    it was from the display protector on the screen?
    Most likely that is the reason.  I have a screen protector on and see similar issues when the iPhone is not on.  They're not noticeable when turned on.  Remove it and see the difference.

  • Bought a blue tooth keyboard and I can't get it to connect to the ipad

    I bought a keyboard from bro ketone to use with the iPad. I can't get it to connect on the Bluetooth. Does anyone use this product with their iPad?

    Return your phone and get your money back. There are no unlocked iphones sold in the US...none...zero...nada. All US iphones are locked to AT&T with no way to officially unlock them as AT&T will not authorize the unlocking of an iphone for anyone for any reason. Doesn't matter if purchase the iphone with or without contract, they are all locked to AT&T. Return it and purchase a phone in France. All of the carriers there offer unlocking.

  • I NEED HELP...I am new to FCPX and I can NOT get my AVCHD files on HD to import to FCPX

    I know this has prob been covered a million times BUT I cant find the answer or solution. I am new to FCPX and I shoot video on canon xa10 using internal HD...When I go to import into FCPX the files are empty?? Why?? I can see the files on my HD but the import window only shows the name of the file and no footage to import..WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? Tell me I did not pay $300.00 for an editing prog that I cant use..And please be gental, like I said im new to editing side.

    AVCHD is no 'format' but a specific folder-structure.
    to allow FCPX to import from there, this COMPLETE files&folders structure has to be intact.
    'cause people ignored that, since MacOS 10.8. this folder strucuture is hidden in a pkg-file, which looks like that:
    this 'Private' thing is actually a folder, containing folders, containing ....
    my screenshot shows a backup or 'archive' of one of my recordings, on an extHDD, inside a folder.
    to import such a camera-backup, I choose Import File in FCPX and click down to my backup, 'til this structure gets visible.
    in case for whatever reason you have NOT copied the whole SDcards content, it looks like this:
    these are the actual 'videos' inside the AVCHD structure (notice the loooong way to it in the breadcrumb down below)
    mts is no video-codec, but a 'wrapper' or media-container - inside are the h264 encoded videos. to allow FCPX to import such files, they needed to be re-wrapped from mts>>mov (NOT converted!)
    there are commercial solutions such as ClipWrap, or the free reMux tool

  • My computer was stolen and now my wife and i are sharing her laptop.  we have separate apple ID accounts, i upgraded to iphone 4 since the robbery.  all of her apps are on my phone and i can not get my apps or upgrade exisiting apps using my apple account

    my wife and I are now sharing the same laptop, mine was stolen, we have separate apple ID accounts.  i upgraded to iphone 4 after the robbery and activated my phone on her laptop.  when i try to download or upgrade apps her apple ID keeps popping up.  can we have separate accounts using the same laptop with different phones?  if so, how can i fix this?

    It sounds as if you're using the same Mac OS X login account on that computer. If you create a separate login account for yourself, it will be as if you have two computers (other than the fact you can't both use it at the same time, of course).
    Go to System Preferences->Users & Groups to create a new user account for yourself. Log out of your wife's account, then log in to your own account. You can now set up this user environment any way you like. When you launch iTunes the first time, enter your Apple ID and log in to the iTunes Store. Redownload all of your content. Then connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable - it will treat it as a new phone, let iTunes wipe the phone and set it up as new.
    You might then want to set up Fast User Switching within System Preferences->Users & Groups which will allow you and your wife to swap the laptop between the two of you easily without even having to log out one account in order to log in to the other.

  • Bought a new iMac today and Garageband is not installed?

    So, I was told that my iMac would come installed with the Mountain Lion OS X installed. It's not. When I do a software update check it tells me that it's up to date. I was also told that my iMac would have Garageband and iMovie on it and that it would all be free. None of this is installed and when I look on the app store, everything costs between 15-20 dollars...each! So, I went ahead and purchased all of it, and it won't download! Can anyone tell me what to do?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You can install iLife and Mountain Lion free > http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate To install it, open App Store > Purchases and accept iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand

  • Hi, my Ipad has frozen today and I can not get onto any of me apps. Can anyone help?

    Hi
    Me Ipad screen has frozen, I have tuned it on and off, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

  • HT2731 my oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother.  I need to know how to unlink the old ipod from her account without losing all the music and games on it.  He would like to have his own account.

    My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother.  How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

    Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device.  You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
    Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.
