Shuffle won't work with tiger

My 8 year old daughter saved up and bought an iPod shuffle so she could listen to her own music and story tapes in bed or wherever. To my shock we could not upload anything to it from our IMAC, not PC, IMAC! The problem is that our Aluminum Intel Imac is 4 years old and runs Tiger. You need iTunes 10 to upload to a shuffle and iTunes 10 is only available for Leopard. This is disgraceful and a complete contradiction to the whole marketing drive of Apple stating that Macs 'just work'. It seems I can get iTunes 10 on a 6 year old PC with XP but not on a perfectly fine, tiger iMac. I have rung Apple who told me I should have read the specs of the shuffle, there is no complaint phone number or email address, only a feedback email address that doesn't respond. What are we supposed to do, buy Snow Leopard at a further expense of over £100? Tiger has been working perfectly, my iMac is a brilliant piece of kit. Sadly I may be forced to replace it with a PC when I next choose to buy a computer. I love Apple products but this blantant marketing ploy to keep you upgrading will most likey cause them to lose a lifetime customer. Has anyone resolved this issue without having to make an otherwise pointless upgrade?

Download the spotify desktop client for Tiger and it should work. You need to plug the ipod shuffle with itunes 10 first (i used my wife's macbook) and then just erased it and synced it with the spotify client.

My new shuffle won't work with my operating system

I was really pleased to be given a new shuffle for my birthday, but it won't work with my operating system. I feel disgusted and cheated; I have been using macs for years and don't see why I should have to buy a new one in order to use a piece of Apple technology. It's not good enough to say that the operating system requirements are clearly stated, as the person who bought me the shuffle didn't know that. I am so furious that I am thinking of going back to pcs next time I buy. Apple really should get their act together, because various forums I have consulted suggest that a lot of other people feel the same.

Feel better now?
We are all users here just like yourself so we cannot do anything for you besides making some logical suggestions to you. So if the person had bought you some 3rd party software that only worked with Leopard and/or Snow Leopard would by be just as furious? Just curious.
You don't have to buy a "new one" to use your new Shuffle, just upgrade your OS. Are you using a PowerPC or Intel Mac Mini? If the latter just go buy a copy of Snow Leopard, install it on your computer and download the latest iTunes. Problem solved. If it is a PowerPC look around and find and install a copy of Leopard.

My Mbox2 won't work with tiger 10.4

I am quite new to computor recording and bought an Mbox2 to record live guitar and vocals. My last recording system was the original Teac Portastudio. ($2000.00 in 1983) I love Garage Band for being so user friendly, but was concered that I would not be able to achieve a professional enough sounding final product. As the Mbox2 comes with Pro Tools, I thought I would give it try and take the plunge into learning Pro Tools. I guess I got in way over my head because I could not get the Mbox working. I originaly had purchased the Presonus Firebox, but the mixer would not work and the control panel would not open. I was able to use the Firebox for my guitar and my vocal mic and actually had a great time laying down a few live tracks then adding some midi tracks with Garage Band.I could not get into the cubase program that came with the Firebox and when I called thier tech support was told the mixer and control panel would not work with tiger 10.4. That was when I decided to try the Mbox. However,after my frustrating experience with the Mbox2, I am thinking of returning to the Firebox just so I can plug in my guitar and mic again. Is there another DAW out there that is compatible with my intel iMac tiger OS X 10.4, or would it be simpler for me to buy a pre amp/mixer and use the audio in on my mac? I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks.

"Could you recommend a pre amp mixer combination?
Would a Radio Shack quality do? I am working towards
producing a CD to sell from the stage at local gigs
so I do want good sound."
Hi Angelman. What is your budget for the mixer? What
type of inputs will you need? I'd stay away from
Radio Shack if you plan on producing/selling a CD.
BTW- some people are having problems with the
multimix (distorted outputs). If you're on a
tight budget I'd hold off on them for the time being
until they iron out what's wrong. Presonus Inspire is
OK, as is Tascam and M-Audio. It all depends on your
budget and what kind of inputs you'll need.
I have Martin D28 with an active pick up that I run through an LR Baggs DI box xlr out. I want to run a line out and record the line output as track 1. Next I have good quality condenser mics and would like to use one or more to record the guitar as track 2 and 3. I also want to record a dummy, or keeper vocal track while laying down the guitar tracks. I would be hapopy with 1 line out guitar, 1 condenser guitar mic and 1 vocal mic.( 3 tracks 2 guitar 1 vocal) As for my budget, I have been saving up for a long time and am returning my newly purchased Mbox2 $550.00 and thinking now of returning to the Presonus Firebox. I was wondering since I am not interested in the Qbase software that comes with the firebox, and since I can plug my M Audio controller keyboard directly into the Imac, I really don't require the midi capabilities of the Firebox and was looking into the less expensive Inspire. I am already into the cost of the Firebox, and it did work well for me, but I didn't hang on to it long enough to fully explore its capabilites. I would be happy to give the Firebox another try. If I did, would I need to install the Qbase software or could I just plug in the firebox and start recording? Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

"new" iTunes 10 Library won't work with Tiger

I have my music on an external hard drive. I can move it between my "office" digital audio G-4 tower (running Tiger 10.4.11) which has beautiful sounding Harmon Kardan external speakers, and my newer 2009 iMac "work" computer, running Leopard. All was fine until I upgraded the iMac's iTunes to 10.1. Now my library won't work on the Tiger "office" machine because it was "created" with a newer iTunes. I can't load iTunes 10 onto the G-4 because of 10.1's system requirements. Any way I can get my music playing again on both machines? Thank you. Joe

You are a genius, Limnos; should be at the genius bar. Shame on Apple for NOT warning us that an upgrade to iTunes 10.x will kill compatibility with previous versions. I followed your directions, discarded v10, replaced the iTunes Library with the last one in the Previous folder, downloaded v9.2.1 and I was in business on both machines! I'm listening to old Mayall & Clapton right now on the better speakers, but older machine. Thanks again! Joe

New Shuffle won't work with itunes, but can't download newest version.

I just got a new shuffle and when I plug it into my computer it tells me I need Itunes version 10. When I try to install Itunes version 10 it says 'Couldn't open "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5'. What do I need to do to get everything working?

Yeah, I just bought an iPod Shuffle and have run into this same issue. I don't want to upgrade to iTunes 10 because I did so on my work computer and am dealing with a headache of an issue with it (sort of off-topic, but it's doing that rapid flashing thing when loading in a CD, ultimately not recognizing it or letting me download the songs, unless I turn off the feature that downloads the song titles automatically, which is fairly important to me). I did some searching around here and found it's a common issue with no solution at the moment. I definitely don't want to deal with that on my personal computer, so I've stuck with iTunes 9. But now that means I can't use the Shuffle I just purchased. How frustrating. Any solution?

HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (101)
Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
Backup canceled.
To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

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:

I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!

FM transmitter won't work with my iPhone

I bought a Premier FM transmitter from Auto Zone the other day. It has a 30-pin connector with an led panel that lights up when you connect it to an apple device. It's suppose to work with all 30-pin devices but doesn't work with my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.2). I have tried it with my iPod Touch 2g and two other iPhone 4's that belonged to my friends, and it worked with all three devices. Any explanation why it won't work with mine?

"the Middle East" is a really big place. I suspect you bought a gray market hacked phone. Call Apple Care and give them the serial number. Maybe they can tell you if it's locked and to what carrier.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

RoboHelp for Word installed from RoboHelp 10 won't work with Word 2010

I have a Help project created in RoboHelp for Word 8. I recently upgraded from Word 2007 to Word 2010 and discovered that RH8 for Word won't work with Word 2010. So I purchased RoboHelp 10 and have installed RoboHelp for Word from it. Alas, RH for Word STILL won't work with Word 2010. When I try to open my project, I get this message:
Before I bought RH10, I live-chatted with an Adobe sales person who assured me it was compatible with Word 2010.
BTW, I tried to roll back to Word 2007, but I was getting weird behavior running Word, so I have reinstalled Word 2010 and want to stay there.
Any ideas?

I have just installed Rh10 for Word on a new machine and initially I got this message.
I wonder if you have followed those instuctions? I changed the setting to Enable All.
The other possibility is what do you have set for the default version? If it is 2007 and that no longer exists on your machine, then Rh will not be able to proceed. The dropdown should show 2010
