Nano not working on OS 10.4.11 because of Quicktime??

I bought a brand new ipod nano for my daughter. When I hook it up to my Mac (with Itunes 7.6), it tells me I need to download a new version of Itunes. I downloaded Itunes 8, then it tells me I need Quicktime 7.5.5 or later. When I try to load quicktime, it tells me I need OS 10.5...the system requirements for the nano says 10.4.11 so why would I need to purchase a $130 OS software to run a ipod that says it only requires 10.4.11???

I have a similar problem, I have a mac G5 with just OS 10, yes, i know, it's an old computer (about 4yrs) still, I feel mighty ****** off that I have to update the operating system simply because I bought my son a new ipod for Christmas. Very angry mother, very disappointed son, not a very happy Christmas, thanks apple

  • 6th Generation iPod Nano Not Working

    So I purchased a 6th iPod nano just last month and had it sent to me via mail. I took it out of the packaging and had turned it on and charged it and it seemed to work so I threw away the packaging and receipt.
    However, I just tried putting music on it yesterday, and it will not work. I bought all of the music from iTunes and its in my library and the music works fine there, but then when I unplug my iPod, half of the time it says that I haven't synced it and there's no music on it, and the other half of the time the music is there, but the cover art is contorted and it will play one or two seconds of the song and then skip to the next.
    I tried messing with it for an hour and a half and its still doing this. Is there anything I can do in this situation? I'm extremely displeased and I need my iPod for a lengthy plane ride I'm going on.

    Hi aseda26,
    Are you using the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried resetting your iPod to factory settings? You can find directions to do this at the link below. This usually helps clear up any software bugs you might be having.

    If it still isn't working and you purchased it less than 30 days ago, I would encourage you to bring it back to your local Best Buy store so we can try to troubleshoot and exchange it for you if necessary.

  • Nano not working with FM transmitter

    I cannot get my Nano to work with an Itrip or with an in car transmitter/holder/charger. But my friends Ipod works fine with both. Is there a setting that i need to change?

    First are you sure the products you mentioned are compatible with the Nano? The nano is not compatible with any of the previews Itrips because it's lack of a remote port. Is the Itrip you are using connecting to the dock connector? If you are connecting with the dock connector than perhaps you need to reboot your Nano (won't remove anything from Nano) bu holding the select and menu button for several seconds.

  • IPod Nano Not Working In Car

    I have an ipod nano and if i am sitting at home the ipod works great thru the ear-buds, however if i walk out to my car and try to listen to it in my car thru the same ear buds it does not work at all. it shows it is playing, but no sound. as soon as i get out of the car it works again. Any help would be great.

    thatis really weird...you should be able to even though that is very unsafe because you need to be able to hear fire truck and police sirons...you can by an itrip from http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripnano/index.php or as a cheaper obtion get this... http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72802/wo/vl30tOP xBJ553x2N5WHxF40TTzS/2.SLID?mco=AFDE31D0&nplm=TA381LL%2FA

  • Ipod nano not working on my computer

    I have the new 6th gen nano, 8gb, and it wont work on my pc. i get the "itunes has detected an ipod but it cant be identified" error. im not sure thats exactly what it says, but im sure you know what I mean. i tried reinstalling itunes, uninstalling the ipod in device manager an letting windows reinstall. only thing i havent is uninstall everything apple/ipod related, and reinstall, such as bonjour, ipod updater, apple device helper, etc. seems liek a long process.

    Few suggestions:
    - Connect it directly to your computers USB port, not through a hub.
    - Disconnect all other USB items aside from your mouse and keyboard
    - If the above does not work, create a new user account on your computer. Restart in that account and connect and see if it works. If it does work, you know you have something installed under the other account that is getting in the way
    - If none of that works, do the FULL uninstall/reinstall thing. Here is a link to walk you through it:

    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes
    Should work for you

  • 4th generation ipod nano not working

    All of the sudden my 4th generation, 8GB ipod nano isn't working. I had a 2004 G4 aluminum Powerbook that started to go so I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago. On my Powerbook, the screen all of the sudden went dark. I researched what might be the cause and found it to possibly be the inverter board. I bought the part and installed it to no avail. Which probably means it's the mother board... which is why I bought the new Macbook. Before the screen went dark, my left USB port and audio in was having problems (probably the mother board dying). I would always charge my ipod from that left USB port. Could this be why now it's acting up and not even recognizing it on my old Powerbook and new Macbook? When I plug it into either computer, the apple start up screen shows, then it shows the "Low Battery" screen, then it briefly shows my playlist, movies, etc. screen... and then goes back to the apple start up screen, and filters through this process as I keep it plugged in. I'm assuming the worst but hopefully there's a solution and I won't have to now buy a new ipod   Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    Anyone ever had this problem before?

  • Help with Nano not working

    Help!!! My Nano was fully charged and I let it sit for longer than a week. When I went back to the Nano, the battery was gone. I attached it to my Mac and the apple logo appeared and disappeared. It would not power on. The Nano turned on after 20 minutes, but it was cycling through the choices. Then the Nano shut off. When the Nano is on, it is not being recognized by my Mac. My 5G iPod works fine on the usb cable.

    See these.

  • NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

    Hi Guys,
    I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have.
    Hi VS,
    What "reading device" are you using?
    As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
    It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.
    The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
    How long was it "stuck?"
    I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
    But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
    Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
    It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

  • New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

    I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

    I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.
    # PC with USB 2.0 port
    # Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    # iTunes 7.6 or later
