Is there any way to avoid upgrading to Itunes 7 with new generation Ipods?

My Ipod was stolen last week and I need to buy a new one today. To frustrate matters in my grief over Ipod loss, I have tried unsuccessfully many times to download Itunes 7 from Itunes and Software update. It downloads but then when I go to launch it it says it will check to see if it is okay for this computer and decides it is not, and stops. I have downloaded new version of Quicktime and seem to have all the other pre-requisites for installation. After reading a lot of these postings about lost music after upgrading, I'm happy to stay where I am, but assume I will not be able to sync new Ipod with version 6??
Does anyone have any advice on what else to do? Also, do you know if I should be able to download my library (over 2000 songs) on to new Ipod and if there is anything I should know about doing this that you have already learned?
Thanks. I don't know a lot about computers and software but I do love my Mac and Itunes and I'd love to not spend all weekend on this.

From this page http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html it indicates that you will need iTunes 7 or higher.

  • I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and can only run 10.4.11, consequently itunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Is there any way i can upgrade the phone so hereafter i will not need a computer to do it.

    I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and the os will only run 10.4.11, consequently iTunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Please don't answer that i need to upgrade the computer os because that has been a past nightmare i have been through too many times.
    Is there any way i can upgrade the phone w/o going to an apple store so hereafter w/ the upgrade to the new os (whenever that gets squared away), i will not need a computer to do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    don

    Solved my issue by setting up a new account on my daughter's computer. Not 100% solved, but i was able to get the update on my 3GS.

  • HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device.  I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages.  Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup.  If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
    If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

    virus protection in vmware or on my running OS X 10.8.2??plz help me out
    First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

    No. Your computer can’t be upgraded past Lion 10.7.5.

  • Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

    Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

    No.  iTunes and over the air updates work by detecting your hardware, and then only offer the latest available version of iOS compatible with that hardware.  Older releases will simply not be available for hardware.

  • Is there any way to purchase upgrade when PC is NOT eligible for free upgrade

    Hi...
    I bought my pavilion dv5 1 month to soon to get the free upgrade... Now i'm wondering if HP gives the same upgrade option to people who want to upgrade and will pay for it... I know I can buy Windows 7 on a DVD, but there's no drivers on it, and I was told by HP support that the drivers from the HP download site might not work properly on a standalone Windows 7
    So is there any way to get upgrade by paying for it... Maybe HP has some buyable upgrade kit?
    Sincerely 
    DCNR

    When HP has Windows 7 drivers available, they will certainly work with a conventional Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade version.

  • Is there any way I can upgrade my existing iphone 5 to iphone 5s

    Is there any way I can upgrade my existing iphone 5 to iphone 5s

    Sell the 5 privately and use the funds received toward the purchase of a 5s.
    Apple does not do trade-ins like car dealers if that is what you are asking.
    In some locations, Apple will give you a small amount for recycling your
    current iPhone but you will always get more $ by selling it privately.
    Some wireless providers offer periodic reduced price upgrades - check yours
    to see if they have such a plan.

  • Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

    Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

    There isn't an iOS 7.4 - there was a 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6), 7.1 is the current version.
    For the parallax effect, do you currently have Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion set 'on' ?

  • HT1766 When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really quickly.  Is there any way of avoiding this ?  Thanks

    When I have iCloud Backup ON, the battery runs down on my iphone really really quickly.  Is there any way of avoiding this.  I want to backup my iphone but don't want to be recharging all day.  Many thanks

    Are you sure the iCloud backup is causing this?  Unless you initiate an iCloud backup manually, it will only back up once per day when the phone is connected to your charger and wi-fi and has the screen locked.  It shouldn't otherwise be consuming any power.

  • I got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

    i got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

    okay well another question the track pad on my 11 inch mac got stuck and wouldnt work and i took it to the apple store and had a tech look at it and he said it was working and i got home and it still wouldnt work so i took it back again to another tech and he said the guy before didnt fix it right and he said it was broken and that i needed a new track pad and he said he would replace it but they didnt have any trackpads in the store at the time but he fixed it enough that it barely works but he said i needed to come back to get a new trackpad because he fixed it enough that it would only work for a short period of time, so i went back the other day to another tech and told him and he said that since it still works they wouldnt do anything about it. but it barely works and barely clicks down should they fix it since the one tech told me it will only work for a short time and that if i came back they would replace my trackpad ? i have apple care and i am still under the 1 year warranty.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
