Installing ipod software onto mac G4 running Osx

I have a imac G4 running osx 10.0. I am able to connect my Fifth gen ipod to charge but it will not allow me to install the software that it came with. When I click on the install icon nothing happens. Can I still transfer music etc. onto the ipod with out installing the software?

Are you really running a 10.0.x version of OSX?
That's basically a beta version of OSX, and it is very unstable, buggy, and out of date.
I'm pretty sure there's no way your iPod is going to work on your system with 10.0
You should strongly consider purchasing and upgrading your operating system to a newer version.
The new iPod requires at least 10.3.9.

  • Installing iPOD software onto a new (second) computer?

    Hi,
    Sorry I'm new to the whole iPOD/mp3 player scene. Well about 2 months ago I installed my iPOD software onto my family's computer. Well my parents just bought me a new computer that I'm taking to college. I read that I can only install the software from the CD once on one computer? Is this true and if so how do I get the iPOD software onto my new comp and transfer my library? Well thanks alot.

    Congratulations on the new computer, Joshua. It would help us if we knew if it was a Mac or a PC, however.
    You'll need to transfer your music first. Use any of the following three options:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
    iPod Agent
    You can use the CD as many times as you want. However, the software on it is probably out of date. Download what you need from the links below. Install iTunes first, then the iPod Updater. Then run the Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your iPod when it tells you to. Choose the Update option.
    iTunes 4.9

  • How do I install Rosetta Stone onto my Macbook running OSX 10.8 when installing it I go into the folder called For MAC Users and the files in there are .exe files which cant be open on a Mac. If anyone has a solution or even a download link let me know.

    This is really frustrating please let me know I looked around and all the downloads cost money and I would prefer if you guys could give me a free one but a solution would be even better!!
    Thanks

    You have the Windows version of the software.  You will need to contact Rosetta Stone directly to get the Mac version of their software.  I can confirm it does install on Mountain Lion without issues.

  • Error installing iPod software onto computer.

    I get this error when running the iPod setup file from the CD:
    "1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime."
    Right after choosing the language, it starts to install, then stalls for a few seconds and displays that error.
    I'm running the newest version of Windows XP on a computer that meets all of the system requirements. Windows is recognizing the iPod through the USB as well. Also, I popped the CD into another computer running windows XP and it works completely fine.
    Any suggestions here guys? Any help would be appreciated since I've got this shiny new iPod sitting on my desk with no music on it until I can get this figured out. =\
    Thanks.

    Awesome man, that site was helpful and I never would have thought to check there.
    Turns out I had to reinstall Windows Installer, despite InstallShield working for everything throughout the past two years. But it fixed the problem!
    Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

  • I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

    I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

    If all else fails, try this.  i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
    if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
    insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
    However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

  • Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD

    Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD.  I can't find my software box anywhere..... Is there a way to locate my serial number within the programs?  AND how can I download the programs from your site- all I see are downloads for the new PSE 11.

    You really need the DVD box which also has the serial numbers on the back. If you registered the product you can get the serial numbers by logging-in to My Adobe but that's not much help as only the current version 11 is available for download.

  • HT4472 my mac is running OSX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to 10.6?

    my mac is running OSX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to 10.6?

    Check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does... then you need to Purchase the Snow Leopard Disc and Install it.
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
    By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/

  • I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted.

    I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted. Can I boot and install OSX Snow Leopard instead of reinstalling OSX Leopard?

    Buy a new drive.
    Leave your corrupt Leo system as is.
    Maybe you own Disk Warrior? maybe not.
    If you don't own Carbon Copy Cloner, invest in it. It can verify and do checksum on all files. So too can Lloyd's File Integrity app.
    But you are overdue probably for a new system drive. My vote today is pick up a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD for $90 is fine, will feel like a new computer and is room enough for system and apps. All your data needs to go to drive #2.
    With a clone you should never have to reinstall. But you would have bootable backups from points in time, like right after installing, right before making changes.
    If you are running Leo then it has to be Early 2008 or before, a 3,1 or maybe 1,1 or 2,1 model.
    Leo is not receiving security updates. Snow is, but Lion is even more secure and runs on all Mac Pro models. It does drop support for all the older PowerPC programs and drivers.
    You should insure that you are prepared for any updates needed even for 10.6.8.

  • Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software

    Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software - I have the system prefs set to launch Toast 6 when inserting a blank disk, and the drive just churns and then ejects the CD. It mounts and runs burned music and data disks with no problem.
    My job requires me to burn data disks from pictures I take at work. Should I re-install Toast? The OS? I ran Disk Utility to check/fix permissions, and no change.

    The CD that came with the nano won't have anything on it that you won't get with a full iTunes install. In fact, it may have been an OLDER version of the iTunes software than what you had installed before.
    I'd reccomend downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple and installing that to rule out software reversion issues.
    If the problem still exists, try booting into toast before inserting the blank disk and see if Toast can still burn to the CD. If it can, then odds are you have to re-instruct your computer to boot toast when a blank CD is inserted. If it can't see the blank CD, or the Finder spits it out again, then I think you'd have to re-install Toast.

  • Do I need to install IPod software if I have done it before?

  • Using Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8) to host web sites on LAN

    I would like to know how to use a Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8 ML) to host web sites on my home network (LAN).
    I am developing web sites and previously (before ML) I used my Mac Pro to 'host' the sites I was developing to test them out before publishing them to my hosting package.  That was when I was using 10.7 Lion and theer was an option in the System Preferences to turn web sharing on.
    I have since upgraded my Mac client to 10.8 ML and have configured it to do the same - even though there is no System Preferences option for web sharing any more.
    I also have a Mac Mini running on my LAN and its been upgraded to OSX Server 10.8.
    Im now trying to configure it to host the web sites I am developing but with no success.
    I thought it was just a matter of adding them as sites in the Server's Websites panel (see screen shot)
    but so far Ive had no success.
    On my Mac client I can simply add a folder in the Sites directory and then open the web site by putting http://myhost/~myuser/name-of-folder and it will load the default file in the folder e.g. index.html
    How do I achieve the 'same thing' on OSX Server?

  • I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3

    I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3.
    The application was restored from a backup using Apple Time Machine.
    I would reinstall the applications, since I have the original disks, but alas, the Mac Mini has no external drive.
    Any ideas?

    CS4 is untested and unsupported under 10.9.x
    That said, you should uninstall everything run the cleaner tool and then download the CS4 installer and try it again.
    If that doesn’t do it, you’re on your own.
