My Probook has OS X10.4.11 and I can't seem to find 10.5 to update to, all started when i tired new IPOD Nano and said I needed to update, any help?

This all started when I bought my wife a new Ipod Nano and when I plugged it in the computer told me that I had to update to Itunes 10.4. I went to update and after it downloads I go to open and install it, it says that I have to update to OS X 10.6. So I update to OS X 10.6 and it tells me to update to OS X 10.5. I search for OS X 10.5 and everything is OS X 10.5.1 or later. Any help?

Hi Darren,
So you purchased (not a disc from a different Mac) OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and installed it, yes? If so, 10.5 and 10.4 are completely out of the picture, unless you have some older software which requires something in 10.4 or 10.5 (but you make no mention of that).
So, with 10.6 installed, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > select your HD and run Repair Permissions. Allow it to finish > quit DU > go to Apple menu > Software Update > and run all the updates there. Repair Permissions again.
Post back with any issues.

    Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
    iOS 7  also allows apps to run while they aren't open.

  • New IPOD nano and getting HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\software\Classes\quicktime

    I tried to install the software for my new iPod Nano and it would nto load for this message:
    could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTime,QuickTime\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. I've tried shutting off the firewall and made APPLE a trusted site. I even removed the old Quicktime from my computer and this did not work. Please help this not very tech savvy old lady.

    I had a similar error:
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib
    .QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have
    sufficient access to that key, or contact your
    support personel.
    Apple help told me it was a Windows problem and that
    I needed the Service Pack 2 (SP2). I already had that
    update, so that alone was not the problem. In surfing
    the net, I found an answer for my error that worked
    on bleepingcomputer.com from HitSquad. Here it is, it
    may work for you too:
    Click Start>Run and type "regedit" (without the
    quotes)in the Run dialog box and click OK. This will
    open the Windows Registry Editor. In the left side of
    the window, navigate to the path in the error
    message. HKEYLOCALMACHINE is the top folder,
    Software is the next folder, etc., etc. Right click
    on the Quicktime.qt folder and select
    "Permissions...". In the Security tab, it should list
    Group or user names you have. Select a user name and
    in the lower part of the window, make sure "Full
    Control" and "Read" have check marks under "Allow".
    Click "Apply". Now log back on under the username
    listed in the upper part of the window.
    Mine had a strange twist, even though I am an
    Adminstrator on my computer, for some reason, my user
    name was not listed. My son's user name was - maybe
    because he loaded the itunes initially? I changed his
    account to administrator and loaded itunes and
    QuickTime under his name and the error went away.
    Anyway, itunes 7 is now working. I'm no expert, but
    this worked for me. Good Luck!
    JB
    This was a fix for me. I have to use my wifes log in to windows. I think she might have loaded the itunes a while ago under her log in. Good Luck everyone. At least now I can use my 80 gig ipod for something else than a paper weight. I must say though, Microsoft would have had a fix by now for this.
    Good night and good luck,
    Chief

  • Bought a new ipod nano and the computer won't recognize it

    I just purchased a new ipod nano and have my itunes on Windows 8. I've connected it with the supplied cable to USB 2 and 3 and every time I receive a message a new ipod has been connected but it is not recognized by itunes.
    How can I make this ipod work so I can set it up and start using it?

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • I bought a new iPod nano and cannot get the music synced

  • I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

    Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
    Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
    I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
    I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
    Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
    And driver? OS X driver?

  • Just bought a brand new ipod nano and downloaded an audiobook borrowed from the local library.  The book is there and playing but, I cannot hear anything.  What am I doing wrong?

    just bought a brand new ipod nano and downloaded an audiobook borrowed from the local library.  The book is there and playing but, I cannot hear anything.  What am I doing wrong?

    Does the same file play normally in iTunes?  Do other audiobooks play normally on the iPod?
    How does "borrowing" work?  Does it require use of another app, other than iTunes, to get it on the iPod?

  • Where in the world is the iTunes Radio icon on iOS 7. Just upgraded my iPad 4 & iPhone 5 and I can't seem to find this on either.

    Where in the world is the iTunes Radio icon on iOS 7. Just upgraded my iPad 4 & iPhone 5 and I can't seem to find this on either.

    I'd say that darn stupid. The whole world can access iTunes Radio via Apple TV and the laptop, but apple had to restrict this to the US for IOS 7 for iPad & iPhone.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

  • New ipod nano and error in updating itunes and quicktime (error 1905)

    this is really annoying me, i have itunes 6.0 or 6.1 or something, and i recently purchased an ipod nano.it said the new nano was only compatable with itunes 7.1, so i went to apple.com and downloaded it. it took two hours to download the set-up for itunes 7.1. i ran the set-up, and then in the middle of it this error came up:
    Error 1905.Module C:/ProgramFiles/Quicktime/GTUIPanelControl.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support panel.
    i pressed okay twice, and it went through the rest of the process and it says this:
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE/Software/Classes/QuickTime/CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personel.
    all of this is very frustrating, but after i click "ok", it reads this:
    The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully.iTunes requires QuickTime.
    Please help!i would like to utilize this ipod sooner than later, obviously.
    thank you

    I used that download, which seems to have worked for some people, but not others. It has something to do with downloading a VBScript. Anyway, I did this, but when I tried to complete its download, it said "Error registering the OCX C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll"
    I then tried to run that file through Run, typing in "regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll"
    I was told it would "reregister" it. Unfortunately, I was met with other error message. ""DllRegisterServer in c:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll failed. Return code was 0x80004005"
    I was told that it had something to do with not having adminstrative privilegdes. I've dealt with these "adminstrative priviledges" before when Norton refused to work, and its no happy mess. But if someone can shed any light on the situation, that would be great.

  • I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano and I need to update my OS! How do I do this?

    I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!

    Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
    Then buy DVD for that version.
