New ipod nano 8g isnt recognized by my powerbook G4

i just bought a new ipod nano 8G and it doesn't recognize the device. apparently i need an operating system of 10.4.8 or later. is there even a 10.4.8 available yet? as far as i can see the tiger is 10.4.6 or something. it seems like this thing should be working. maybe thats why they lowered the price.

If you are running Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, you can get the updater from this page. Otherwise, you need to purchase a newer Mac OS X version.

    my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by itunes.

    My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by itunes.  I did all of the troubleshooting and even uninstalled Apple Mobile Device.  I can't get it back.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi MartyP680, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that you're receiving a message that your iPod nano can't be identified properly, and you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes. You've also isolated this behavior to only one of your PCs. 
    If the issue persists, there are some additional tips in this article that may help, including verifying that the Apple Mobile Device Support service installed properly and is running:

    The "Learn More" section also mentions some other potentially conflicting software to look for on your PC.

  • New Ipod Nano not being recognized by Computer

    It seems I am not the only one having this annoying issue. My new Ipod Nano (3rd Generation) will not show up at all in Itunes. I never get the setup assistant to show up either. I have tried different USB ports, shutting down and restarting the computer, reloading itunes, etc. What's next? I am new to the whole ipod thing so if I need to do something I don't know about, please let me know.

    Hi
    You're right, you're not the only person having this problem. If you don't mind though, could you just stick to bumping the other thread? I'll get you the link, one second.

  • My new Ipod Nano isn't recognized by my computer or by ITunes. What could be some reasons?

    My new Ipod Nano 7 does not come up as a drive on my computer. The computer clunks to acknowledge a new device is attached but it is not shown in explorer. ITunes DOES open as it should, but it gives me a message "An IPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the IPod and try again. If the problem persists, please uninstall ITunes and reinstall ITunes." We did all that, several times. The new IPod does work correctly on our other laptop, of the same generation, with similar security. Could this be a block specific to some security on my computer? We tried all ports on my computer. I can't troubleshoot using my previous IPod because I put it through the laundry - thus the reason for a new one.

    What shows up on the iPod's screen when you plug it in? Are you plugging the iPod into a USB port located directly on your PC versus a USB hub?
    What happens if you reset the iPod with it still connected to your PC?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Do you have any USB devices plugged in?  If so, remove them all, minus your keyboard and mouse and reboot your PC.  Then open iTunes and connect your iPod Nano once again.

  • New iPod Nano 5G Not Recognized

    Okay, this is a weird one.
    I bought an iPod Nano from Apple and it is not recognized by my Mac Pro. My Macbook sees it just fine and so does a Windows PC at work.
    I've followed the troubleshooting found in TS1410 on Apple Support. In addition, on the very same Mac Pro with the same USB cable and USB port, iTunes sees my iPhone perfectly fine.
    When I click on Apple, About this Mac, click More Info to launch System Profile and look under USB, it sees my iPod Nano as well. However, the iPod Nano does not show up in finder or my Mac Pro.
    Any ideas on possible troubleshooting?

    Oddly enough, after another reboot, it is now working.
    Good luck to everyone else!

    I supposed you have downloaded and installed iTunes 7 on your PC.
    It can be either a problem of your PC or the iPod, let have a prove.
    Try to find any computer (of course with iTunes preinstalled), if your iPod showed up there, then it is a problem on your computer, read this

    If your iPod does not show on any computer, then bring it back to the shop

  • Problem recognizing new Ipod nano

    When I connect my new ipod nano to my mac and open itunes, the nano device is not recognized.  How do it get it to connect?

    To clarify Nathan's post:
    The way the iPod works under Windows requires a certain file (iPodService.exe) to be running.
    However, this service can only run on one account at a time. So Windows opens it in the first account opened. If you switch users, the service is still running (only) in the first account running.
    A simple restart, followed by logging in to your account, will fix this, because your account will be given access to the service.
    In the future, your options are to use the Log Out feature instead of Fast User Switching, or to disable the service from running under any accounts other than your own. The former is simple, the latter, not so much, but I'll include instructions so that you can do it if you're comfortable with the somewhat advanced options you'll need to access.
    About Fast User Switching in iTunes for Windows
    How to force iPodService to start in only one account
    Use to avoid the logoff problem
    Open the account you want it permanently off of, go to the desktop, right click on My Computer, and hit Manage.
    Hit Services & Applications>Services>iPodsrv (or iPodservice, it's an older version).
    Double click, set the 'startup type' to Disabled, and it won't open in that account.
    Rinse, repeat for any other accounts as needed.
