Ipod nano on Mac OS X v10.4.10?

I'm planning to buy a 4th generation ipod nano, but I've read that you need to have Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later for this nano. I have Mac OS X v10.4.10, so you think it is still possible to run this 4th generation ipod nano?

If you run Software update on your Mac you should be able to update your OS to 10.4.11. Incremental updates are free and since you are already running 10.4.10 I can't see any particular reason your computer won't run 10.4.11.

Transferring photos from ipod nano to mac mini

I cannot transfer my photos from my ipod nano to my mac mini. I have connected my ipod to the mini and opened up iphoto but I don't have the option to import my photos.

An iPod nano is not a camera, so you can't do that with iPhoto.
There is a setting that relates to your question. Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Photos tab. There is a checkbox there, that says Include full-resolution photos. If that setting was checked WHEN you synced the photos to your iPod, then the iPod will have a copy of photo files at full-resolution. To retrieve them, Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab. Open the iPod's storage as a "disk," and look for the image files in Photos folder.
If that setting was NOT already checked, then the iPod only has a low-resolution database of "thumbnails" instead of the photos; they are optimized to fit the very small screen on the nano (and save storage space). They are not in a format that can be used directly on a computer. There may be third-party utilities that can retrieve the images as individual files, but they would look terrible blown up to computer screen size. The way they are converted and stored on the iPod, each image is only meant to look decent on the iPod's tiny screen.

How to upgrade from 10.3.9 for 8GB IPOD Nano(requires mac OSX v 10.4.11 or

I want to download itunes onto my new ipodnano 8 GB.I have 10.3.9 and how do I upgrade to the best version for this? It is frustrating to have to keep paying.

Here's the requirements for both OSs. In reality you need at least 2 times the minimum RAM specified.
*OS X 10.4 Tiger Requirements*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301341
*OS X 10.5 Leopard Requirements*
http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

New trouble syncing my iPod Nano to Mac OSX 10.4.11

I know there have been discussions on this issue but I'm still needing help. Simply put I have an iPod Nano 4GB and it's about 3.5 years old. I've never had trouble syncing but when I went to charge my Nano, it charged but didn't sync. I look at my iTunes library and I can't even see my device. In fact, I don't even see a 'device' folder. Can somebody help with a 'lay' explanation for me and step by step process on how to get syncing again! (Also, I've received noticed that my USB doesn't have enough power which is a new event as well. Grrrr.

I'm 60 and I can read it. And if I couldn't I would certainly get someone at the store to either get me a magnifying glass or read it to me. And your complaint would seem to be with Argos rather than Apple. I personally wouldn't trade with someone who would not let me read the minimum requirements on the box before purchasing.
No, there is a syndrome at work it but you've yet to get it right. You are correct that you need iTunes to use the 6th Generation Nana, but since iTunes is free and is available on computers from Apple, Dell, HP, Toshiba, Gateway, etc. I fail again to see how this is a vendor lock-in. And after a few months Xplay and others will catch up and provide alternate music managers.

IPod Nano to Mac G4 Cube?

My sons each received Nanos for Christmas. They share a 400Mhz G4 Cube (OS 9.2) as their computer. They cannot connect or use the new Nanos and are very dissapointed.
How can I make these iPods work with this computer?
Thanks

No such animal as a FW->USB2 converter and don't hold your breath that one will be developed. Since all new computers come with USB2 the market for such a converter is steadily shrinking, not to mention that cost would probably be prohibitive.
But the news isn't all bad. Yes, a 4GB Nano syncing with USB1 will take just under 2 hours as opposed to about 15 minutes with USB2. But your sons probably won't be syncing a complete music swap on a regular basis. I bought my wife a Nano for Christmas, she has a G4 iMac, and she's quite satisfied with the result.

Microphone for new iPod nano?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a microphone you can buy for the new iPod Nano? I record a lot of acoustic music and need to get it into my iTunes Library. I'd rather not carry my iBook around.
Thanks
Aluminum iPod Nano, iBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the new nanos can do recording - the old ones cant.
im confused, is this nano your speaking about the
black glossy one?, cuase if it is the microphone
is
not compatible with it is it?
the new nanos are the 2 generation of the old ones, only apple snatched the samsung glossy nanos since they had the patent and jumped on it at that quarter year, yes seccess story.
But as i remember, they all record yet apple never provided a microphone solution for them., and the older iPods all have accesories like mics etc etc. and all the new iPods do not, or maybe the 30 and 60 gigs do but are very expensive.
Can anyone confirm how to record on a nano and what mics to get?

Single song ipod nano

i have programed all of my itunes onto the ipod and when i go to songs it shuffles continuously throughout the song playlist and wants to play ALL the songs on the ipod.
i am extremely frustrated. I can't believe Apple software won't allow a single song to be played from the main songs list.
does anybody know how i can fix this problem? PLEASE HELP ME!
thanks

The iPod will not play just one song from a list then stop. If you want it to do this, you'll need to put a single song in a playlist and play that.
"I can't believe Apple software won't allow a single song to be played from the main songs list."
Thing is though, the vast majority of users don't use their iPods this way.
If you want the iPod to shuffle a single playlist, in the settings menu, make sure that shuffle is set to "songs". Then select any playlist, then press play (not select). The songs within that playlist will be shuffled.

IPod nano stuck in "Do not disconnect"

My wife's new nano was working perfectly in all operations.
Now, when we plug it into the computers (more details to follow), 1) the computers don't recognize the iPd, and 2) the iPod says "Do not disconnect" (i.e., the iPod /does/ know it's plugged in to a computer.
DETAILS:
* we've tried this on both USB ports on each of two PowerBook G4s, each running OS X 10.4.3. The iPod software is up to date on both computers.
* when I reset the iPod (following the instructions in the KB), it works fine when /not/ connected to the Macs
* the iPod /does/ accept charge from the computers when connected
* I have /not/ tried FireWire, nor have I tried replacing the USB cable. (Mostly because it seems to work OK - iPod recognizes it's connected, and accepts charge)
Anyone?

I think this may be connected to the ongoing problem that the nano is not officially supported by OS X 10.2.8. I have that configuration, and while I seem to be able to download to the nano and play everything OK, it does get stuck in "Do not disconnect." I just get brave and eject the iPod while it's still showing that message, and everything seems fine.
I haven't seen the option for downloading photos, so maybe that does require 10.3.
I'm running a 4 1/2 year old iBook which does have USB 2.0, and the download speed seems fine.
iPod nano 4GB Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Just bought an IPod nano 7th generation. I have a Mac computer OS X v10.5.8 with 10.6.7 iTunes player. To use the new IPod nano I need a OS X v10.6.8 or later and iTunes 10.7 or later. What are my options to upgrade the Mac?

Thanks to your feedback.

Ipod nano 7th generation on mac will not sync or charge

Nano worked fine for about 6 months, now it will not charge or sync whether on the Mac or in an outlet. System does not recognize it, Reset it , rebooted system, disconnected other devices to avoid hardware conflict. Nothin. Seems like the pod itself is having problems. Plays and moves through the windows ok but running out of juice and can not connect to charge and sync. Any ideas?

Do one ore more of the following:
> Restart You Computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset your Device (won't delete anything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your computer reconizes your iPod.

IPod Nano Sync with Mac, but iPod formatted for Windows

I finally changed to the Mac platform and all my iPods and iPhones were synced with a Windows based computer. While my iPhones were not a problem, my iPod Nano (4GB 2nd generation) seemed not be recognized by my iMac.
I can't seem to get my iMac to show the iPod under Devices to reformat it. Anyone have any advice to give?
I have plugged it in to a my Windows based work laptop and it seems to work fine. However I don't sync with that machine and I have already sold my old Windows based computer it was synced to.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have three iPods: 40GB iPod photo, 2GB black iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle. Each one has it's own playlist to auto sync songs from (technically, the 40GB iPod is synchronized manually, but the other two have playlists to sync automatically from). They each have different names so iTunes knows they're each different. So, you shouldn't have any trouble keeping just two iPods separate with your Mac mini or iMac.
