IPod Touch & Mac OS 10.3.9

My iBook is running on Mac OS X 10.3.9
I didn't check the system requirements beforehand and now the iPod Touch will not even connect to my computer at all.
"This iPod cannot be used because it requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later"
How do I get the required Mac OS X 10.4.10?

Getting hard to find...

Sync both iPod Touch & Mac Mini to Al BT Keyboard Simultaneously

I have synced my Aluminum BT keyboard with my iPod Touch iOS 4 with good result. However it no longer was in sync with my Mac Mini. I then could not sync with my Mac Mini. I had to shut off the iPod to get back to the Mac Mini. Most frustrating. Do I have to buy a second Al BT Keyboard in order to have a keyboard sync with my iPod? Or can I get the keyboard to do two devices simultaneously.

The Apple wireless keyboard will only work with one mac devise at a time. I have two Apple wireless keyboards.

IPod Touch & Mac Mini wireless

I have:
Mac Mini
iPod Touch
Wired network.
I have read that this can be done, but cannot figure out how to do it properly.
Need: Have the iPod touch use the Mac Mini as a wireless router/station so that I can browse the web from within 10 feet of the mac mini.
problem: I cannot get the iPod to pick up any web sites, but I can see the wireless share.
Can someone point me to a clear set of instructions on how to share out the mac mini so that an iPod touch can connect and browse the web?

Is the firewall enabled on the Mac mini? If so, you will need to enable Personal Web Sharing on the Mac mini. This punches a hole through the firewall so that the normal web browsing port is accessible via the shared connection.

IMessage iPod Touch/Mac Problems?

I've had a 16GB 4G iPod Touch for about a year. I just purchased a Macbook Pro as well. My problem is minor, not a big deal, but I'm curious as to why this is happening...
When I'm messaging someone who isn't in a wifi zone (I'm sure of it) knowing they'll recieve the messages later, I'll casually iMessage either from the Mac or the iPod, each updating my latest messages as I do that. However, oddly, if I'm sending messages on the Mac, of course it doesn't say delivered underneath, as they are not delivering. However, as I glance over to my iPod, they're all coming up as delivered?? And same the other way around - I'll type on the iPod, send, and then no delivery, yet "delivered" underneath the message on the Mac..
I'm trying to understand this. Any insight?
Thanks!

IPod Touch MAC Address

Where can I find the Airport ID (MAC address) on my iPod Touch? I'm getting ready to implement MAC ID Access Control on my Time Capsule and need to be sure everything on my network can get in. Thanks!

Making my sisters pc compatible ipod touch mac compatible

So i rebooted it and tried to strip it down to how she got it out of the box. but now the screen is black with an icon that tells u to connect with itunes and i am. how do i convert this pc ipod touch to read on a mac?

You don't. Ipod touch is not formatted for either pc or Mac. You do not need to do anything but plug it in and sync.
Can you not restore the ipod?

Sincronizzazione iPod touch-Mac

Aalve a tutti. Da giorni ho un problema nella sincronizzazione iPod-Mac. Ho sincronizzato l'ipod al mac ed è successo che è stata rimossa, anziché sincronizzare, tutta la musica dal dispositivo. Questo è successo perché, a dire del mac, non c'era spazio sufficiente per mettere quella musica nell'iPod, musica che prima c'era sempre stata. Guardando nella sezione riepilogo infatti, il Mac "vedeva" circa 30 Gb occupati da "ALTRO" e giustamente, su un iPod da 64 Gb nel quale mantengo sempre 46 Gb di musica, non sentiva storie e non vi poteva sincronizzare la musica: quindi l'ha cancellata dal dispositivo.
L'iPod, dal canto suo, afferma nella sezione "generali --> utilizzo" che effettivamente ci sono 35 gb occupati (5 di app ed evidentemente 30 di ALTRO).
Devo quindi riuscire ad eliminare questo "ALTRO" per fare spazio e sincronizzarci di nuovo la musica, ma non ho idea di come fare per eliminarlo, visto che non capisco che file siano. Qualcuno può aiutarmi??
grazie, Eric
NOTA: le versioni di entrambi i software sono le più aggiornate: iOS 8.1 e OSX Yosemite. Prima di iOS 8 non avevo avuto questi problemi.

Aalve at all. For days I have a problem in sync iPod-Mac. I synced the ipod to mac and it happened that it was removed, rather than sync, all music from your device. This happened because, to tell the Mac, there was not enough space to put the music in your iPod, music that had always been there. Looking at it in the list, the Mac "saw" about 30 Gb occupied by "OTHER" and rightly so, on an iPod 64 Gb which I always keep 46 GB of music, stories and did not feel there could sync music: therefore the 'was deleted from the device.
The iPod, meanwhile, says in the "General -> Use" that actually there are 35 gb employed (5 app and apparently 30 OTHER).
I must therefore be able to eliminate this "OTHER" and synchronize us to make room for new music, but I have no idea how to delete it, since I do not know which files are. Can anyone help me ??
Thank you, Eric
NOTE: versions of both software are the most up to date: iOS 8.1 and OSX Yosemite. Before iOS 8 I did not have these problems.
Reply:
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

IPod Touch - WiFi - SSID Broadcast Works/SSID No Broadcast Doesn't Work

This is maddening in so many different ways:
I have two (2) 2nd Generation iPod Touch 8Gb products. Both are nearly identical in every way -- how they connect, OS, Library, similar Apps (but not the same all the time), etc.
iPod Touch "A" works flawlessly. No issues, no problems, no complaints
iPod Touch "B" started behaving badly by first loosing my WPA security but recognizing my home network. Strong password creation was a hassle but I got cleaver. Over time, it got worse to the point that it would not even recognize the existence of my 802.11g home network.
CAVEATS 1) We live in a rural area and on my property, not another network can be found. 2) Plenty of 2.4 Ghz stuff around including other wireless computers but... 3) This is my profession and I am flummoxed but have ideas....
FINDINGS: 1) iPod "B" works fine in the public space. All wireless networks work just fine and dandy. 2) I turn on my home network SSID BROADCAST and this iPod works fine (after being set up again). 3) Turn off SSID Broadcast and once this iPod sleeps or is turned off/on, no more network but go to any place that has a public broadcast SSID and no security and it's fine again... 4) No matter what I have and what I do, iPOD "A" works flawlessly.
WHAT I HAVE DONE: 1) made sure that I have plenty of DHCP scope -- yup. 2) Checked my leases - when connected I see perfectly valid MACs and leases without incident. 3) Check for overlapping or conflicts in IP Address allocation and MAC addresses (you never know...) - no problems there. 4) Quadruple checked "A" vs. "B" settings -- identical. 5) Dumped the entire flash and OS and started with a clean slate -- same issues with no apps, music, photos, movies -- nada... just a raw iPod like it came out of the box... same problem 6) Asked Apple to replace it as it's under warranty -- done. 7) Started testing again as a clean slate and found that it worked... replacing the iPod did the trick...
So, I "RESTORE" the iPOD to garner all the hard work that was put into it -- contacts, settings, etc. I "SYNCH" the iPOD to recover my angel's precious photos, apps, movies, music.... I return it back to it's originally desired state EXCEPT that one must completely reconfigure things like networking by hand -- OK.
It's back to normal, as desired, in the configuration we want and it WORKS!!!! Albeit... only for a day... and now we are back to where we started -- again...
iPod "A" works flawlessly and the new "B" is back to it's same old tricks --
OK - What does a restore do anyway? Is there some small pile of firmware that writes over the fresh load from OS? In order to preserve my contacts and other things a restore supports, did I uncover the super secret bug that Apple will refuse to acknowledge? Can I still say that I hate iTunes without being flamed a thousand deaths? Is there a diagnostic easter egg I can try?
And before I started this soliloquy -- I watched my functioning iPod "B" go to sleep with a working home network... only to wake her from her slumber... tuned out - with Not Connected living in her Wi-Fi field.... <sigh - simply maddening>
The only thing that sets these two apart are the nuances associated with configs that are part of the user's own personal interface desires and resident app input (contacts, calendar, etc...).

First off -- thank you all for replying and providing your insight, stories, and findings with your own iPod Touch, MAC, and iPhone WiFi fun...
You are all wonderful contributors.
Just to be clear, as others have mentioned -- this is not a feature and we should not have to tolerate it. This iPod, like the other one and yours too, once worked flawlessly and then continued to degrade to a point of not functioning according the 802.11g ieee standard. Something that has been in development for over 10 years and has been an adopted standard in consumer electronics for more than 7 years -- an eternity in this industry.
To be clear, I performed TWO ultimate resets -- completely wiping the firmware and OS of the original hardware and tested a completely wiped iPod Touch to no avail and the second "reset" was a brand new replacement -- right out of the box -- under warranty. No network resets necessary. The new iPod worked as expected without any original data loaded. Once a backup was "restored," and the iPod was synch'd with the library of choice, then the troubles started again. The networking does not restore -- you have to build a secure network from scratch. And again, the "A" iPod exhibits none of this odd behavior.
It is a testament that Apple has a problem in code when other iPods running similar OS behave the same. The reason that I mention the geeky standard above is because we should not have to broadcast our SSID for this to work -- it's an open standard, not something proprietary. We should not have to conform to "work around" solutions. And, yes, NOT broadcasting SSID is part of the entire package of sound security. I have to strongly disagree with all the nay-sayers. You don't go walking around the streets with money hanging out of your pockets or your wallet sticking out of your shirt pocket for a reason -- but I bet that you have cash on you and I can find it pretty quickly. It's why purse snatching is a crime of violence and rampant in larger cities and pick-pockets use finesse. One is easy pickings for anyone to try and the other requires tools and skills. If you don't flaunt it, the low level threat is removed.
As for strong security, the option for WEP is not an option. I use multiple levels of acceptable stronger encryption, logging, limited DHCP scopes, MAC controls at times, stateful firewall controls, and other radio tricks of the trade. My only failings is having to pander to the lowest common denominator within my home network.
Anyway, I spent a bit more time surfing and find this problem ubiquitous in 2.2.1 and forward. Something is amiss at Apple. All my Window based products work just fine (as does my Wii).
Keep those cards and letters coming folks.

OS 10 Upgrade for iPod Touch

I am rather computer challenged, so my apologies in advance. I just purchased an iPod Touch. Have a PowerBook G4 using OS 10.2.8. Looks like I need to upgrade my OS. May I go straight to 10.5 or do I need to get everything in between as well? Also, how will this upgrade create issues with my other applications (such as Adobe Elements)?

Welcome To  Discussions mondok9!
Here are the iPod Touch Mac System Requirements.
"Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
iTunes 7.4 or later"
"...how will this upgrade create issues with my other applications..."
Check the developer websites, of your Third-Party applications, for system requirements compatibility, and updates.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), 10.4.x to 10.4.11 (Pending), and 10.5.x to 10.5.1 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If your Mac meets the System Requirements. Leopard 10.5.x, can also be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Also, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The disc should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on it.

IPod Touch 2g no longer recognized by Mac Pro

Earlier this week my Mac Pro stopped recognizing my 2g iPod Touch (doesn't show up in iTunes at all).
So far I've tried:
* Using a different USB port (ports tried work fine with other peripherals)
* Restarting the iPod
* Restarting the Mac
* Deleting & recreating iTunes library (per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451)
* Deleting & reinstalling iTunes (per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
* Wiping iPod
* Deleting & reinstalling Mobile Device support (per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747)
Despite all of this, the Touch fails to show up in iTunes -- the cable & iPod are fine, as they sync properly with our iBook (which, unfortunately, has none of my media on it, nor the disk space for it).
What's the next step?

I wouldnt think it is un-fixable, just have to narrow down where the issue is.
Im assuming since you reinstalled iTunes that the current version(8.2.1) is installed. When you uninstalled iTunes, did you just do iTunes and the iTunes helper? or did you remove all of the plist files as well?
I would follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 to remove apple mobile device and do http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 all the way through including the com.apple.iTunes files and then reinstall iTunes so that it replaces both iTunes and AMDS at the same time.
Is the iPod charging when its connected?
I do apologize for acknowledging that you said the iPod did work on your Macbook in your first post.

My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?

My TC has been working fine. Using WIFI my iMac, ipod touch were able to access the internet. Last night, no internet access and when I plug the router connection in my Mac all is good.

My TC was fine, it supports a Mac and an ipod touch. I have had no issues until last night. Nominternet access, Timecapsule app cannot detect or finf the TC. I have my router cable plugged into my Mac and it's fine. I am using Leopard and have no idea what TC firmware version I am on. The TC does get hot! Any clues?

Firmware downgrade.
Go to the airport menu at the top of the page when you have airport utility open.
The second screen will open over the airport utility.
Now hold down the option key when you select firmware so not just new ones open but also old ones.
You get a warning ..
You proceed.
Now you have your TC with whatever firmware you chose.
That is about as Gumpy as I can do it.
