I have just brought a new ipod and it won't work with my old imac as it is running pre 10.5 software. I can't upgrade the software, so what should I do?

There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

Does Airport Express work with a Windows Computer?

Does Airport Express work with a Windows Computer?
I'm trying to setup an older Airport Express to play iTunes
with a Windows Computer. I just want it to join my network,
since I'm already connected to another router.
Thanks,
Paul

Is there a Windows version of the Airport Utility (I think that's what it's called)...
Yes. That is only needed to configure the AirPort Express (AX).
...or do I have to go through Windows setup software?
You may have to do that to get Windows to join the wireless network.

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

Ipod Touch STILL won't work with Windows 64-bit

Argh!
So, I've read the entries about the new Itunes 7.6, and how it should work with my Ipod Touch.
I uninstalled all my previous Itunes, and Quicktime software. I then installed the new Itunes64.exe. Everything worked fine.
But then, I connected by Itouch and it says "This Ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, the install the 64-bit version of Itunes."
I'm confused what the problem is. I just DID that!?! What do I need to do differently? Anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
Anyone have a solution to the problem?

IPod shuffle buttons won't work

I just recently purchased a 1st generation iPod Shuffle on ebay and it came in today. Everything works great except the buttons on the front don't work at all. I can't get the volume to change and I am also unable to get the skip button or the pause play button to work. is there any way to remedy this problem or am I going to have to send the iPod back to the eBay seller?
I tried to hold the pause play button for 3 seconds to make sure that the buttons were not disabled but that didn't make a difference at all
any suggestions would be great

time to get it serviced: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/ or take it by your nearest Apple Store and make a Genius Bar appointment.

IPod Camera Connector won't work with iPod Classic 80GB?

I am trying to connect my iPod Classic (80GB) to my Canon 40D camera--to upload my images directly from camera to iPod. When I try, I get a message saying "Accessory is not supported." My local Apple store genius said that the iPod connectors only work with older iPods. I find it hard to believe that they'd eliminate such an important capacity on a newer version. Is he right? Or is there a way I can make it work?

I have sent Apple feedback a couple times in the past few years asking for the camera connector to come back and work with the ipod touch. The more people ask, the better.
Is it true that the new version of the SDK will allow apps to access the USB interface of the ipod touch? If that happens, then maybe some third party company can make something similar.

I tried to update iTunes but then it won't recongnize my itouch.. Then my itouch had to be restored it said... Now it is a new iPod and iTunes won't work with it anymore.. P.lease help!

My iPod had an old software... I needed to update it. Then iTunes told me I needed a newer version of iTunes. I did that. I can't remember if there was a problem.. Idk. Then iTunes wouldn't recognize my touch. Then I made a mistake of restoring it and updating it to a new I pod. I figured I could download everything again.. So no big deal. Then something happened with the iTunes or computer.... And my iPod is like when I first got it. But when I plug it in... iTunes won't recognize it.. Me and my mom are going to apple help. Troubleshooting.. But it is not working!!! Please help

Ipod Shuffle (2nd gen) not working with iTunes 11.0.4

I have my shuffle set to Manually Manage songs, and can view and add to the Ipod through 'On this Ipod' but highlighting songs and hitting the delete key is not working to remove songs. The process works for my other Ipods including my Touch and Classic. I don't want to 'restore' my Ipod because some of the content is only stored on a computer that isn't working at the moment, I just want to get rid of some of it to make way for new stuff.

Actually it turns out I can't even add to it. It claims it's synced to another library (which apparently is true, being as it was last used with my Macbook Pro). Somewhat new question, How do I combine the two libraries, as it's all mine, just on two different computers, one of which doesn't work unless it's in Hard Disk Mode.

IPod Shuffle suddenly won't work

Hi all,
To all of you having troubles with your Shuffle.
I posted a few weeks ago about my Shuffle that stopped showing up on the Mac, in iTunes or anywhere else, then stopped charging.
I also said that I saw hundreds of posts on different forums about that problem, wich show up after about a year of use of a Shuffle.
Well, after having tried everything imaginable, I decided to declare my Shuffle useless. So I delicatly opened it. And I immediatly saw where the problem came from. The connection thread that links the usb plug to the iPod was broken, because of an inapropriate folding. I guess it's a construction defect.
See pictures there: http://web.mac.com/jm.oriot/iWeb/inge%26jm/iPodShuffle.html
I'm an Apple fan (and client) since more than 10 years and never experienced any problem at all with any hardware of software signed by Apple that I bought. This is the first time and though I'm very disapointed (and a bit angry) to see such a short life for an Apple product I still love Apple. But still... 109€ is not nothing for me. I expected more than a year of use.
The Shuffle was a great idea (so small, so light, so handy, so nice...) but apparently suffered a poor construction. So bad.
... sigh...

Okay, and thanks for re-posting your photos. I have to agree that it definitely does look like crimping and would expect any continuity checks run on it to show an open or two. That would certainly explain your symptoms, but it's not the answer for all such cases, i.e., BLD, being reported here.
I've now purchased two 'broken' Shuffle's on eBay, both coming off of M$ systems and reporting the blinkies. The first was Alive on Arrival and is still living happily on a daughter's eMac. The second was totally dead, with no reaction at all to anything I did; it's now disassembled, with no evidence of your crimping on the ribbon cable, while I mull over buying an LI battery and getting someone to solder it in for me.
In your place I'd certainly be taking my evidence to Apple and pointing out that, at the end of the day, it was just a matter of pure luck that it managed to last as long with this defect as it did. I think you should be able to convince them to give you some sort of satisfaction on this, but appreciate your desire not to go through the bother of it.

IPod Nano 4G won't work with my car stereo

So I bought a new stereo for my car and it has a built in controls for an iPod and a dedicated wire for my iPod to directly connect to the stereo. I placed this wire in the glove box. Now the stereo was installed fine, everything works except for my iPod Nano 4G. I can successfully plug my iPhone into the connector and I'll be able to use my stereo to control my iPhone while it is in the glove box but for some reason there is a read error when attempting to talk to my 4G nano and I don't know what to do... Very bothersome....

called up crutchfield they said I would have to downgrade the software on my Nano to 1.0 and not the 1.0.2 that is currently installed, except I don't recall there being a software update that came out. Not to mention that I don't know where to get a hold of the 1.0.0 software....
any help would be awesome

IPod touch 5g won't sync with iTunes windows 8.1

I updated to iTunes 11.1.4.62 on windows 8.1. Now my iPod touch will not sync when it's plugged in to iTunes. I've been syncing with this pc since I got my iPod no problems until now it asked me wheather I trust this pc now I want this fixed.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:
