Nano and OSX 2.8

Someone gave me an Ipod Nano and the box says requirements are X.3.4 or later. I'm not upgrading my computer to new operating system. Is there any way to make Nano work with 10.2.8? I'm hoping that, accepting the notion that it is not sanctioned, software for another Ipod will work with Nano and 10.2.8. (or, perhaps the Ipod software isn't absolutely necessary at all - keep in mind I've never had any kind of Ipod before and know nothing about it, yet).
Also, I have USB 2.0 but it is added on third party. I see there are some issues with some third party USB 2 also. My USB 2.0 works with Nikon D2X. What are the chances it will work with my Ipod?
Should I just chuck this Ipod Nano into a drawer for a year or two and take it out again when maybe I buy a new computer?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi David,
Yes, I found some posts from you and others that had been posted at an earlier time and discovered that indeed Ipod Nano does work with 2.8. I went ahead with installation and have been listening to my songs and looking at my photos on the Nano since soon after my post above.
I also saw a lot of complaints about 2.8 not working with Nano, so I'm hoping this separate thread may help some of those people realize it does work, after all.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Problems with FCP 5.1.4 and OSX 10.4.9

I upgraded to Tiger, installed the new FCP Studio and everything was working fantastic.
The next morning there was a software update for Tiger and FCP-5.1.4, it's been a nightmare ever since. When I restarted FCP would not recognize my Sony HDR FX1.
I had this problem once before with 4.5 and I fixed it by re-installing FCP and doing the upgrades, so that's what I did with 5 but this time there was a new problem. It wouldn't let me work on anything that I had opened since I did the software update, so I had to do the update again and then FCP wouldn't recognize my camcorder again on startup. If you pressed log and capture you could control the camera but no capture was possible.
So I re-set the easy set-up and presto! everything was fine and I worked productively for a few days.
But then I had to capture some SD from my Canon GL2 so I reset all the settings for DV NTSC and reset the easy set-up for DV NTSC but now FCP won't recognize my GL2 on start-up. If I click log and capture I can control the camera but no capture.
My next try to solve my problem was to downgrade back to my original 10.4.6 and FCP 5.1
That put be back to square one and everything works fine again except I am left with the problem that everything that I worked on after I did the update won't open, I get error 41.
Now I know this is because I am now trying to work on these projects with 5.1 after they were worked on in 5.1.4. But the problem is that everytime I update to 5.1.4 I can no longer capture or print to tape.
I tried the trashing the FCP prefs thing and the repairing permissions thing but I can't seem to solve the problem.
Has anyone else had any problems using FCP 5.1.4 and OSX 10.4.9?

Not sure how you tried to install 10.4.8 but if all
else fails you can always reinstall the original
operating system that came with your Mac using 'Erase
and Install' then upgrade it to 10.4.8 - probably in
stages.
Erase and install should be used as a last resort! A better option is to use the "archive and install" feature. It renames your old system folder and creates a new one for the OS you just re-installed. That way you don't have to reinstall everything, your user accounts and emails should all still be there, and if something doesn't work, you have your old system folder to pull things like preference files out of.

Need help on how to help my sister register her new nano and add music to it on my computer. I have my on nano already on my computer registered and set up but she and I don't listen to the same music so how would I go about doing this?

I'm trying to find out information on how to go about helping my sister to register her new nano and load on CD's and such. I have a nano and already know how to do this but she is from CA and we want to load it here on my computer. She will be going home in 2 weeks and wants to use it in the car for the ride home.We don't listen to the same kind of music so I don't want to use my library but do one of her own for her. Also she will want to add this library on to her computer at home. I'm 60 and my sister is 70 I have enough knowledge to do some things on the computer but am not real computer smart. My sister is just learning about everything but has no idea what to do with that knowledge. Can anyone give me and idea on how to do this that I can get a grasp of what needs to be done to do this? My nephew says it's easy but he's in Az and I'm here. He also helps people with computers so he is more knowledgeable than I am. Would appreciate any help on this. thx

Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

Hi,
I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
Thanks

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

I have an Itunes account on a different computer, how do I create or access this account to recognise my nano and iphone on a new laptop?

I have recently bought a laptop and would like to add music to my ipod nano and i phone 4 from this laptop instead of using the old computer. Was wondering how I can create a new account or delete an old account on the other computer or update my exsisting account on to my laptop.
any help would be great.

Yes. You can set up your phone to use your original account, no need to create a new one.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

Can someone please advise if there is a way to transfer my music to my iPad manually? If so, please detail step by step, as I am technologically challenged! Thanks in anticipation.

You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.

I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

ITunes 7.5 and OSX 10.4.11 - CANNOT CONNECT TO iTUNES STORE

After a recent upgrade to iTunes 7.5 and OSX 10.4.11, I can no longer connect to the iTunes store. I have tried reinstalling iTunes 7.5 (and Quicktime - just in case!). I have also tried Keychain First Aid. Still it is broken. Please help me with this problem if you know of a fix.

i can't connect to the itunes store on 2 out of 3 macs in the house!!! this occurred in the last 48 hrs or so... although i downloaded a movie this week which took ages vs the normal time.
all connected through the same airport & have same settings & all other internet stuff fine.
i don't have any snitch.
i checked versions of software for os x and itunes on each machine:
(cannot connect) powerbook g4 runs 10.4.11 and itunes 7.5
(cannot connect) macbook 2.2 ghz runs 10.5.1 and itunes 7.5
(connects to store) macbook 2 ghz runs 10.4.10 and itunes 7.4.2
would indicate something wrong with itunes 7.5 but can't be sure...
Help pls...

IPod Nano and iPod Shuffle not recognized by my iMac

I'm new to Mac and just purchased a Nano and a Shuffle. I spent the weekend transferring music from iTunes to both devices without any issues. A few hours later I went to transfer additional songs and my Mac would not recognize either device. The screen on my Nano says"Connected - Eject before disconnecting". My shuffle blinks orange. That's it...I have reset the Nano and nothing changes. I'm hoping someone out there can help me.
Thanks!

I had this problem with my MacBook. What finally worked was, while connected, toggling the hold switch on/off/on and then holding down the menu and center buttons until the apple logo appeared and it truly reset itself.
