IPod classic not compatible with iMac

All of my music is on a three-year-old iMac and when I plug in my new iPod it says that they are not compatible. And when I try to install Leopard that doesn't work either (the upgrade). Do I have any other options?

Why not go to the install forum in the Leopard category and post your install problem?

I get message "your Ipod is not compatible with attached accessory"

I recently purchased a Belkin TuneBase FM for iPod to use in my car as a mount, FM transmitter, and car charger. After installing it into my car's power outlet and inserting my Ipod Video into it, I get the message "your Ipod is not compatible with the attached accessory". It does charge up my iPod battery, however my iPod screen does not display the FM frequency that the Belkin TuneBase is transmitting on and so I cannot adjust the frequency to get it to work. I have the latest version of Ipod firmware installed, I tried restoring my iPod to factory settings, nothing is working.

think that fm accessory is not compatible with 5g ipods . just check it in www.apple.com

NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?

Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
(in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
to make them compatible?
Thanks!

Hi coxorange;
Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

My new ipod is not compatible with my Mac computer. what do I need to do ?

My Mac computer with an operating system 10.5.8 is not compatible with the new ipod nano I just purchased. What are my options?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, none. You may want to ask for a refund.
If it's an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update twice.
If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Sony iPod Dock Not Compatible with iOS 4

I play a 3GS through a Sony HD-radio with a dock on the top. Upgrading the 3GS to 4.0 resulted in a popup that says "this accessory is not compatible with iPhone." It was yesterday - now it isn't. Apple: Did you break accessory compatibility on purpose? If not, will you please fix?
Message was edited by: Four to the Side

I invested in a nice expensive Sony wireless speakers sound system with an iphone dock. Worked perfectly until the stupid 4.0 update came out, and now it brings out the same stupid error message all the time and I can't play any streaming media, on the sound system, which was the main reason I bought the originally compatible sound system. Great job apple !! They are trying to expand too fast, and now they are producing mediocre products ! I am really upset about this ! I just want to downgrade the **** software back to 3.1 and then never update it again :?

IPod classic not syncing with Mavericks

For some unknown reason my iPod classic will no longer sync with iTunes
Have the most upto date version of Mavericks and iTunes
It recongises the device when connected to the Mac (it shows in iTunes on the device list) but it won't sync/update although there are now playlists showing on the iPod that I haven't created on iTunes
Other than this the iPod plays ok but it won't sync so I can't add anything to it...
Any ideas?
Thanks

I am having the same issue - Mavericks, latest version of iTunes, an iPad and an iPod classic. I have all my music on my mac and it automatically syncs on the iPad through iTunes match, perfectly.
When I connect my iPod classic, iTunes recognises it (it appears on the screen and I can check all its content). The only thing is that it doesn't sync, not even if I press the "sync" button myself (even though the iPod should sync automatically when connected).
When I connect the iPod to the MBP, two things happen: on the iPod screen it says "ok to disconnect" after 5 seconds or less (definetly too little for having synced everything?), while on iTunes it says "updating iTunes match".
No idea what's going on.

IPod Classic not Syncing with iTunes on Windows 8

Hi,
I have reccently bought a new laptop which has Windows 8 64Bit pre-installed. I had my music library backed up (consisting of ripped CDs etc and nothing purchased from iTunes) and thought it would be a straight forward process of syncing this to my iPod. I am aware that this process would wipe the music off the iPod and replace it with the music on the laptop which I had no issues with.
Despite my best efforts I have not been able to get my iPod Classic 160Gb to sync with iTunes. When I plug the iPod in, it is recognised in iTunes and th iPod briefly displays a messge saying it is syncing. After about 10 seconds this message disappears.
iTunes (version 11.0.1.12) gives me the option to restore the iPod which I have done. It goes through what seems to be a very short restore session where I am not given the option to name the iPod etc before the iPod giving the brief "synching" message and then telling me that I need to eject the iPod before disconnecting.
The only way I have managed to get some music onto the iPod is by clickong on "Music" (under the iPod button) and then selecting "Autofill". Whilst this works in putting all of my music onto the iPod, if I delete a song from my library this change is not mirrored on the iPod. I also now have no option to sync my pictures with the iPod.
I have tried using compatability mode to start iTunes in Windows 7 mode but I still have the same problems.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Many thanks

how did you fix it?

Vivitar Mini Digital Camera not compatible with iMac?

I bought this Vivitar Mini Digital Camera the other day, and it came with software that isn't compatible with my computer. I checked out a few boards, and a few more boards, only to find out that other people with Macs were having the same problem. No one really had a solution for this problem. I connected the USB cable, and tried to see if maybe iPhoto or Image Capture would allow me to import photos. Neither one would. The software that came with the camera say "Arcsoft Photo Impression4.0". On one of the message boards, I remember someone posting something about not to even bother downloading it online because it wouldn't work. I looked on Google for hours, and can't seem to find anyone with answers. Thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone can help. If not, guess I'm returning the camera!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does the camera have a removable memory card? If so then use a card reader with it and iPhoto will import them.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HELP! Ipod classic not working with Windows 8

I have an Apple classic Ipod. I just had to purchase a new PC. It came with Windows 8 operating system. When I plug in my classic ipod to this new computer it appears in itunes and you can see the songs that are on it but that is all. I can no longer select one of them and play it on the ipod through the computer nor can I select or deselect songs on the computer to make a new playlist, nor do my new song purchases on itunes download to the ipod. Instead they are on the cloud and unbeknownst to me they appeared on my Ipad. I don't listen to music on my ipad so that doesn't do me any good. I want them on my ipod. Can anyone out there tell me what I need to do to make my classic IPOD work on this new computer or am I SOL?
Thanks.

Hello Ethan
I am a bit worried since using Ospprearm.exe for office in my 64-bit version of Windows
8 original version apparently changes my CMID will it affect my Windows Profile adversely as well or only office? I am told this rearms
does "the following tasks:
Resets the grace timer to 30 days.
Freezes the grace timer until either an Office application is run, or the ospp.vbs script is run.
Resets the client computer ID (CMID). This is important because the KMS host uses the CMID to determine the number of unique clients. To check the CMID, use the command ospp.vbs
/dcmid. For more information about ospp.vbs, see The ospp.vbs script.
Note: If you run this command on either Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, it only returns to CMID for Windows,
not Office. To see the CMID for Office 2013, look for event 12288 in the Application Event log..."
Your clarification will be deeply appreciated thanks!!!

I have an ipo touch first generation when i click into an app on the app store i click on free or buy but a message then alerts me that my iPod is not compatible with this app. its says this for all the apps i try to download. so how can i download apps

My ipod touch 1st generation keeps saying apps are not compatable so how can i download apps froms the app store??????????????????????????????????????????

It sounds like you are trying to download and install apps that require a later version of iOS than what can be and is probably installed on your iPod Touch. Your 1G iPod Touch can only be updated to IOS 3.1.3 and no higher. You can check the current version by heading to Setttings -> General -> About.
If the app requires a later version that iOS 3.1.3, then you will not be able to install or use that app unless you purchase a new iOS device.

Ipod touch 5th gen suddenly not compatible with volvo s60 through usb

My 5th gen ipod touch is suddenly not working in 2013 Volvo s60. When I plugged it in via usb this afternoon (as usual), message came up on screen saying ipod was not compatible with this accessory. I've already tried resetting it by pushing home and power button at same time but it didn't work this time. Worked fine until today. Any thoughts?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable if it is a Lightning to USB cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Accurian iPod Dock Not Compatible?

I just bought an Accurian iPod Dock for my 80GB Classic iPod. However, it does not work when I try to connect it to the composite out in my TV. The iPod just says, "TV Out Enabled, Please Connect Video Accessory." I'm guessing it's not compatible, but is there a way to make it work? Or should I just return it?

There have been many many reports both here and elsewhere of the iPod Classic not working with 3rd party accessories.
It seems Apple have changed the way the Classic interacts with these accessories.
If you search the threads here you'll find many posts on this subject.
