Ipod not compatible with os 10.3.9

I purchased a new ipod nano and it is unable to run on my system.
I currently have a g4 desktop running 10.3.9 with itunes 7.4. I am looking to replace my nano 1st generation since the battery life does not last very long. Right now I can’t purchase a new computer and have two options I was considering. I am kind of lost on what to do next. I was thinking about installing more memory and upgrading to leopard. The problem with this is the software I have will not be compatible. I was also thinking about buying a later model ipod or ipod. Does anyone know the most recent used model that would be compatible with my system.

Hello cdigi24,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The determine what iPods are compatible with your system, I would check out this page below from Apple. You can look through each model's minimum requirements. Should help you find your answer. Hope it helps.

  • Ipod not compatible with Vista??

    Hi:
    I bought a new Dell computer that came with Vista. I have an ipod Video with iTunes songs and other recorded CD tunes I've put on the system. I can't get the Windows Media Ctr. to find my iTunes [are they not compatible]? Has Apple got a lock in on this music? Now I can't synch with my ipod for new music or synch in general. What's the story?

    According to Kim Komando's newsletter today (what a name - and she claims it's not made up!), Microsoft has just released a patch that will allow iPods to work with Vista. Sorry I don't have more info - I know I won't be getting Vista for a while, so I didn't pay any more attention to how to get it or where.

  • Why is my ipod not compatible with iHOME?!?!?! please help.

    long story short.
    my nano will not play in ANY brand/model of an ihome.
    the one's I have tried are clock/radio systems that should be compatible with nano's.
    the radio works but when I plug my ipod in and change the setting to 'ipod' no sounds comes out.
    I did use the proper docking equiptment.
    I have tried different models and asked workers at circut city for their oppinion and no one can help.
    please respond with adivce.
    thank you.

    i have the exact same problem with my ipod nano (1 GB)! I got my ihome for my birthday and the first one i got didn't work. I have exchanged it once and it still didn't work. Yet my ipod nano works in my friends ihome. They are the exact same ihome so i don't know what is wrong. I will dock my ipod nano, using the right docking piece on the ihome, press ipod and then turn the volume up completely and a faint sound of the song can be heard but it's extremely fuzzy. If i use the cord and plug it in through the back connector it works but then it won't charge it and that's one of the reasons i bought the ihome in the first place. I have read through all of the directions and yet nothing seems to be working. If you can help me please reply.
    Thanx

  • ITunes/iPod Not Compatible With Magix Muffin Music Finder?

    It appears that Apple has bullet-proofed their software and does not play well . . or I should say, does not play at all with Magix Music Finder software: http://www.mufin.com/ At first I was upset with the Magix folks, but the more I looked into this, it appears that a recent Apple software update has blocked compatibility with Magix, not the other way around. *** is up with THAT? Does anyone know if there is a work-around?
    I really like the Magix software . .. very easy to build play lists from your existing files on your PC or go out on the Web to find similar songs. Far easier than doing this within iTunes. If no one has a fix for this . . .could you recommend an alternative program that accomplishes the same thing?

    Thank you, lllaass.  Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information?  Who is writing the review?  It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews?  I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device? 

  • IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

    iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open.  So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

    Maybe. See:

  • ITunes Video not compatible with 5th generation 60GB video iPod

    I downloaded several videos from the iTunes store to my Mac G4 1.67 powerbook. When updating my iPod, I received a message that some of the videos, really only one, was not downloaded to the iPod because the format was not compatible with my new 5th generation iPod. It seems to play fine on my G4. How can there be a compatibility problem with at video purchased from iTunes and downloaded to a Mac and transferred to a 5th generation iPod ? Anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks.

  • 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

  • Old Composite Video cable (Tangerine iBook) not compatible with Video iPod

    I discovered a little surprise.
    Despite being exactly identical on both ends of the cable, an old Apple Composite Video cable, originally purchased for a Tangerine iBook, is not compatible with Video iPod.
    Anybody confirms such situation, or is it just my Video iPod with a faulty video output?
