Ipod nano 1.2 version how upgrade to higher version?

I recently received an ipod nano 1.2 version. iTunes purchased songs load into my ipod but do not play because they need a 1.3 version or higher to play M4P ACC (Protected) songs. How do I update the Ipod Nano application that I have to a higher version (1.3)?

In a link to compatible song formats, it says you need version 1.3 or later to play purchased songs that have an AAC format (protected). We are new to this, so that may be for a different type of iPod than the nano
That software is for the first and second generation regular iPods. All other iPod models come with the necessary firmware to play AAC files. You should be able to sync the purchased music to your iPod; if you can't, try the instructions in this article.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.
    If you have a PowerPC Mac, buy a new, secondhand, or refurbished Intel Mac.
    If you have an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • I have an iPod Nano - 4th gen.  How do I get music from my iPod (which I didn't purchase on iTunes) to transfer into my iTunes?

    I have an iPod Nano - 4th gen.  How do I get music (which I didn't purchase on iTunes) from my iPod into my iTunes?

    If the iPod is the only place that you have the music (e.g. you don't have it on a backup drive) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back from it : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    You can then add it to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library

  • Im trying to upload my new ipod nano but I need to upgrade to upgrade to at least 10.6.8.. I currently have 10.5.8. Any suggestions

  • How upgrade to higher OS X

    I have old mac book OS X wih old version 10.5.8, how can i upgrade with higher version in my computer for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher?

    You'll first need to buy a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. That's still available from the online Apple Store; for the US, see:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available . 
    If they no longer have it available, you'll need to look to private sellers, and the prices are rising quickly. If you buy from a private seller, make sure you get the retail disk set (white label with a picture of a Snow Leopard), not the system disks from another model of Mac (grey label).
    Once you have Snow Leopard installed, then you can consider whether you wish to upgrade to a yet newer version of Mac OS X; 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, as your system will support. Which of those if any your MacBook will run will depend on the specific model you have.
    Regards.

  • IPod Nano 1.1 - DON'T UPGRADE

    Don't upgrade to 1.1 software if you want to use the star ratings (or plan to press the click wheel at all, ever) as it breaks the functionality of the sound level / track progress / ratings bar.
    Just keep with version 1.0. IT WORKS!!!

    Hi Richard,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Thank you for expressing your feelings towards the iPod Nano 1.1 Upgrade. I have not had that problem with the upgrade, but you might want to try the The Five Rs to restore functionality of your iPod. Are you having a problem still with your iPod? If not, please mark this question as answered, or mark it as not a question. When posting a thread, you are given the option to post it as a question or more as a statement, in the future please make it not a question. You can also change it from a question in the first 15 minutes after you post your thread.

    I had this same problem. I was reading another discussion that had this problem as well and they suggested unplugging your printer. I have a Lexmark printer connected through USB. I unplugged the printer and my ipod has worked like a charm. Strange!

  • I have an ipod nano but i dontknow how can syc the audio books on it?!

    how can i use audio books in my ipod nano?!
    i have a windows7 pc

    Configure the audiobooks to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes.
    To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab.  Now locate the Books tab and select it.  Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
    If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner.

  • New iPod Nano... How to get best battery life?

    Hi there. I just got a new iPod Nano. What is the best way to get the best battery life? I know there is a partial charge on the iPod already (it turns on and the batter meter shows it approx. 2/3 full). Should I plug it in a fully charge it first? Should I put some songs on it and fully drain the battery and then fully charge the battery and then fully drain it again?
    How can I get the best battery life out of it? Are there any Apple documents to explain how?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    There are documents, there are theories, there is folklore, there are opinions. I'll give you my opinions (but they are based on a fair amount of research and experience). The type of battery used in the iPod has a useful lifespan of between 3 to 5 years, and can be completely charged/discharged between 300 to 500 times. If you charge it totally, discharge 1/2, charge to full again, and discharge 1/2, this only counts as 1 total discharge, so don't worry about running it all the way down, etc.
    You can leave it plugged in all the time if you want, because it's smart enough to stop charging when it's full. You can recharge whenever you want based on what I stated above.
    Is there any advantage to running it all the way down and back up? There is an Apple KB document that suggests getting "exercise" like this is good for the battery on a monthly basis. Several people here swear by that, but when I have asked, the only source they usually give is the Apple article, or things based on that article. I've not seen this claim independently stated.
    What is true is that you may need to let it run all the way down occasionally to keep the battery meter calibrated, but this has nothing to do with the actual condition or health of the battery.
    Also, it's bad to let the battery run all the way down and then remain that way for a long period of time. Plus, if you plan to store this type of battery for an extended period (i.e. for a month or more) then the optimum charge seems to be around 60% of full, although it would gradually trickle down from that over time. Also, don't get it too hot as that's bad for it.
    Is that way more than you wanted to know?

  • I am getting rid of my Ipod Nano 3rd Generation.  How do I delete my name and make sure all personal info is gone?

    I was able to restore my Ipod Nano 3rd Generation back to factory settings, but the ipod is still personalized with my name.  How do I remove or change that?  And, how can I be sure all music, personal info is completely gone because I am giving it to someone?

    There is a rather large database in Apple Support for all iPod Nano models, though
    a quick look through did not provide a simple direct answer to the question of how
    to prepare an iPod Nano for a new owner, or for a new user; also to de-personalize
    the product so it would not be locked or broken.
    •iPod Nano - How To - Apple Support: (main)
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/how-to/
    This kind of question comes up in similar form across most iDevice sections; usually
    after someone has bought or was given one, and it won't work. At least you are in
    the right track, to try & clear it ahead of a problem, so a new owner can use it.
    Be sure to deauthorize the unit in the process of removing your identification from it;
    and also check to see how the AppleID affects the next owner experience. It will.
    There should be a way to accomplish most of this within iTunes from a Mac.
    Rather again, too general:
