VX Nano on Leopard 10.5.3

Hi
I have a problem with a VX nano Logitech mouse. It works fine on Windows but on Leopard it's a horror. The Logitech Control Center detects the mouse I get info that it is connected, IN The System Profile USB port detects the Logitech USB Receiver but the system doesnt respond to clicks and movement. I have contacted the Logitech Support Forum and Customer Support but they said it must be something with the my MacBook or software.

Hi
Thanks for the reply but i think I didn't described the issue deep enough. I have tryed the mouse on 5 diffrent systems (On windows XP Sp2, Tiger 10.4.6 and 10.4.11 as well as on Leopard 10.5.0 and 10.5.3) i have tryed wihout the LCC on each system, with the latest LCC and with previous LCC's and the mouse just don't work. The problem is not with the LCC the mouse just doesn't react on any movement. It is like the reciever doesn't send the signal to the system. From unknown reasons the mouse works on Windows XP (i have to use the connection utility but it works). Leopard after about 10-15 connection utility retryes I get the LCC to detect it (it shows that the "VX Nano is connected" when i put the reciever in the USB port) but still it doesn't detect the movement and clicking. It is really weired.

  • 1st Generation Nano Crashes Leopard

    Basically what the subject says. My 1st generation nano works fine with my older iBook running Panther, but when I connect it to my MacBook, my computer crashes.
    It is using software version 1.3.1 and have reset it from the iBook. My iPhone syncs fine.
    Ideas?

    I thought that it said two days too, but if you re read the e mail it says that it will be returned to Appple in 2 business days. The return label is underneath of the original, There are perforations the top that you need to tear off to get to the label underneath and keep the top one as a reciept.
    I wasn't sure about the plastic bag either, so I just put the nano in it then in the foam hole in the box.
    The clear sticky is about 6 pieces of tape to seal the box with. Be careful pulling it apart you can think you have just one piece but it is really like three pieces. I sent mine off today and have been wondering what they are replacing them with.

  • IPod  recognized by OSX but then immediately ejected.

    Plugging in the IPod Nano (iMac - Leopard) causes it to appear on the desktop but then be automatically ejected. Nothing wrong with the iPod since it is recognized by my laptop (Tiger), also it appears to work fine in normal use. If I un-install iTunes then the iPod Nano appears to remain mounted.
    I suspect something is wrong with the iPod driver/interface. I am also having problems with iTunes, which doesn't display the start-up window and doesn't respond to most menu selections. Currently using Songbird, which works fine except that the iPod is still mounted and then immediately ejected.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    When the Nano is ejected does it disappear from the sidebar in iTunes as well?
    In the summary tab for the Nano is "disk use enabled"?

  • I have a MacBook using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1.  When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows on my desktop, but the device does not show up on iTunes.

    I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1.  When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows up on my desktop, but does not show up under devices in iTunes.  The Nano says it is connected and synching, but I cannot download music if it doesn't show up under devices.

  • I have 10.5.8 and want to install the new itunes 10.7, in order to sync the new nano , but i am unable to.  Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard in order to sync new nano?

    I have an imac (2009) with OS X 10.5.8 and i need to install the new itunes (10.7) in order to sync my new nano (7th generation).  Do I have to upgrade my software to Snow Leopard in order to run itunes 10.7?  How to I go about this?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • Last Question re: nano, Leopard, and 10.3.9

    alright, so we all know Leopard's needed in order to sync a nano. My question is, will Leopard actually load onto a PowerBook G4, 667MHz? i can stand a slow computer if the OS will work. thanks!

    Hi,
    Kappy is correct! With my Panther 10.3.9, I sync with my Grandson's iPod. And he sync's with his Mom's iBook with Tiger 10.4.11 on it. And her other son sync's his Nano on it, as she does with her nano.
    So, even Panther CAN SYNC with it...
    PS: It is maybe moreso the version of iTunes then the OSX version...

  • Is the 2G iPod Nano compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have an iPod Nano 2G that was working fine with my Powerbook running Tiger.  The PB finally bit the dust and I'm now the proud owner of a shiney new 13" MBP.  Unfortunately, when I plug in the iPod, it does not show up in iTunes.  When I plug it in, the iPod Nano appears on my desktop and iTunes starts up, but the iPod does not appear in iTunes.
    I am able to sync an iPod Touch on this same machine without any problems.
    Is the 2G Nano compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Yes, it's compatible.  Try using Disk Utility to reformat the Nano to see if that helps.  Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod using Disk Utility.

  • Can't use new iPod Nano, cannot upgrade to iTunes 7, running Leopard 10.5.8?

    Help!  This is a hybrid question.  I just received my iPod Nano today (the newest one, 7th generation I believe?).  I attempted to connect to my iTunes, and it prompted me to update iTunes.  I am unable to update iTunes because apparently my OS X is outdated.
    I believe I am currently operating at 10.5.8.
    I spent several hours trying to download the updates only to determine I need a whole other OS X, maybe Snow Leopard or Lion?  I don't believe I can upgrade to Mountain Lion from what I currently have.
    I'm REALLY frustrated right now and can't find a Lion download on the Mac website.
    I'm operating a white MacBook, circa 2008.  Please help.

  • My Mac Book currently is using snow leopard, which is an upgrade.  I would like to upgrade again to the mountain lion so I can use my new nano iPod.  Will my Mac Book be compatible?

    I am currently running an upgraded OS X 10.6.8 on my MacBook.  I would like to upgrade to the Mountain Lion.  Is my MacBook system compatible to run that version?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest MacBooks of each type that can run Mountain Lion and newer:
    MacBook5,1
    MacBookPro3,1
    MacBookAir2,1
    A Mac older than those listed which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by clicking here. Neither Yosemite nor Lion support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

  • I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

    If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
    Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

    You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.  iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can't upgrade without more RAM.

  • Installing PyMSNt on Snow Leopard Server 10.6

    OK, it's that time again, new OS X Server release and thus, new efforts to get PyMSNt running.
    Firstly, make sure you have the latest Developer Tools (XCode) installed. Also, assume that all of these commands need to be run as root, so you can prefix each command with sudo, or you can switch to root using:
    sudo su.
    There are a couple required prerequisites in the form of Python modules. Unfortunately, Snow Leopard has made things quite a bit more challenging due to the inclusion of Python 2.5 and 2.6 and the transition from 32 bit to 64 bit.
    I've had issues getting PyMSNt to run with the default version of 2.6. Due to what I assume is Apple's own dependencies on 2.6 (calendar/wiki server), I'm not comfortable switching the system default to 2.5.
    2.5 seems to now have pycrypto built in, so the only dependency is pyOpenSSL. pyOpenSSL happens to be built in to Apple's Python 2.6, but we have to compile and install it for 2.5. You can get the latest pyOpenSSL 0.9 here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyopenssl/files/pyopenssl/0.9/pyOpenSSL-0.9.tar. gz/download
    The download page is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyopenssl/files/
    Now, the installation directions say to use the standard pair of commands: python setup.py build and then python setup.py install. Unfortunately, this will default to Python 2.6 and compile and install it as a 2.6 module, which is NOT what we want. So, modify these commands to be:
    python2.5 setup.py build
    python2.5 setup.py install
    Now, if you want avatar support beyond PNG, you need to install Python Image Library. That's particularly hairy and not required, so I'm going to skip that now, and discuss it at the end.
    Next, you need to prepare iChat server for PyMSNt. Edit /etc/jabberd/router-users.xml
    You will notice an existing block like this:
    <users>
    <user>
    <name>jabberd</name>
    <secret>asdf!ghjk#</secret>
    </user>
    </users>
    You need to add another user for your MSN transport. Let's assume your primary Jabber ID is example.com. You should add a block for a user named msn.example.com. This does not need to resolve via DNS. So when done, it should look like this:
    <users>
    <user>
    <name>jabberd</name>
    <secret>asdf!ghjk#</secret>
    </user>
    <user>
    <name>msn.example.com</name>
    <secret>asdf!ghjk#</secret>
    </user>
    </users>
    I found that in the past, I was able to use a different secret for the MSN handshake, but I had issues with that this time, so make the msn.example.com secret match the existing one for jabberd. Also, note this secret down as you'll need it shortly.
    The PyMSNt project has changed hands, but there are no files at the new location, so this tutorial expects you to download the latest 0.11.3 from http://delx.net.au/projects/pymsnt/tarballs/pymsnt-0.11.3.tar.gz (the download page is http://delx.net.au/projects/pymsnt/downloads.html)
    Decompress this archive and for the sake of this tutorial, store it at /var/jabber/modules/pymsnt . You can store it anywhere else you want, but you'll need to adjust the commands and files below accordingly.
    Once you have placed it there, make sure it is owned by the jabber user/group with:
    chown -R jabber:jabber /var/jabber/modules/pymsnt
    Let's cd to that directory for the next few commands:
    cd /var/jabber/modules/pymsnt/
    Now, you need to copy the config example and edit it:
    cp -p config-example.xml config.xml
    (the -p makes sure the resulting file is the same permissions, i.e. still owned by user jabber)
    nano config.xml
    (use any appropriate text editor you want. I like nano)
    OK, so:
    1. You need to set the Jabber ID (<jid>) to the name you defined in the router-users.xml file, e.g. msn.example.com
    2. Set the <host> to your primary hostname (this must resolve!)
    3. Commend out <background/>, making that line look like this:
    <!-- <background/> -->
    4. Make <secret> match the <secret> you specified in router-users.xml
    Save your changes and exit. That should do it for the config file for now.
    Also, thanks to Tim Harris, you need to make an edit to the source as described here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7865180&#7865180
    Next, we want to configure launchd to launch PyMSNt. Initially, under previous versions of OSXS, I set this up to launch onDemand only if the jabber server was running. I accomplished this by using a launchd key called QueueDirectories, which only launches the job if files appear in a directory. I set it to watch the /var/run/jabber directory as Jabber server placed pid files in there at launch. Unfortunately, it seems that in 10.6 it doesn't clean these files up at quit, but I believe this is due to a change in Python's Twisted removal of the removePID function (something that affects PyMSNt as well), and I expect Apple to fix it in the future. So, this plist will work now, and also in the future once Apple fix this.
    Also, you'll notice that you must invoke PyMSNt using python2.5, not python.
    Place these contents in /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.cjb.delx.pymsnt.plist :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>net.cjb.delx.pymsnt</string>
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <true/>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/bin/python2.5</string>
    <string>./PyMSNt.py</string>
    </array>
    <key>QueueDirectories</key>
    <array>
    <string>/var/run/jabberd</string>
    </array>
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>_jabber</string>
    <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
    <string>/var/jabberd/modules/pymsnt</string>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/var/log/pymsnt.log</string>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/var/log/pymsnt.log</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    You can leave out the StandardOutPath and StandardErrorPath path if you don't care about logging, but they're helpful at least for getting this up and running. However, the log file needs to be owned by Jabber, so create it and change the owner if you're going to keep those keys in:
    touch /var/log/pymsnt.log
    chown jabber /var/log/pymsnt.log
    Last, but not least, load the launchd plist with:
    launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.cjb.delx.pymsnt.plist
    Make sure iChat server is running and login.
    *KNOWN ISSUES*
    *You must register!*
    You still need to use an application like PSI to register for the transport. That's beyond the scope of this tutorial. Note that you need to use an older version, discussed here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2159145&tstart=0
    Snow Leopard might have improved the jabber servers authentication methods to not require the old version, but I didn't bother looking in to that yet as the solution in the aforementioned topic worked fine.
    *Calendar Server Clash*
    The default port for unencrypted calendar server communications is port 8008. It seems that when launched, it creates two additional listeners on the next 2 highest adjacent ports, being 8009 and 8010 in the default configuration. Unfortunately, naughty Apple has trounced on xmpp's reserved port usage of 8010. Bad Apple! Also, there is little documentation about what 8010 is used for. Initially, I tried shifting the unencrypted Calendar server port to something else. As I only use the encrypted port for communication, I didn't really care. However, most annoyingly, the wiki server calendar client looks for the calendar server at 8008, and I don't know how to change that.
    What can you do?
    Believe it or now, if you launch PyMSNt first, and Calendar Server after, everything is dandy. Unfortunately, that's not how the startup sequence works, so you'll find the need to do this shuffle after restart. I believe there are dependencies one can put in launchd plist files, but I haven't experimented with that yet.
    What else can you do?
    You can make PyMSNt listen for file transfers at a different port. In config.xml, the directive to change is <ftJabberPort>8010</ftJabberPort> and pick a different number. I've tried changing this to something quite different, like 18010 and then doing port mapping on my router to map the public 8010 to 18010 since the calendar server doesn't need public access to 8010, only via localhost. I haven't been able to test this thoroughly yet. Also, this is of no use to someone not using port mapping. It would be great if I could bind PyMSNt to NOT use localhost to avoid the conflict, but that's beyond my knowledge.
    *Python Image Library*
    This is a topic worthy of its own post, but I'll stick it in here. Python Image Library or PIL has two optional dependencies, libjpeg and freetype. You need libjpeg to view non-PNG MSN avatars.
    Many instructions on the internet will direct you to jpegsrcv6b. I could not get that to work. Instead, I did succeed with jpegsrc7:
    http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v7.tar.gz (download page: http://www.ijg.org/)
    But here's the problem. Python 2.5 runs in 32 bit mode. The compilers try to compile libjpeg in 64 bit mode. If you've been following info about the way Snow Leopard works, 32 bit processes won't load 64 big libraries/plugins and vice versa. SO, you have to compile libjpeg for 32-bit. To do that, I used:
    CC="gcc -arch i386" ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static
    make
    make install
    Freetype-2.3.9 installed normally without a hitch.
    And then finally, I could install PIL, making sure to specify python2.5 as necessary:
    python2.5 setup.py build_ext -i
    After running that, TEST it with:
    python2.5 selftest.py
    This MUST pass. If it doesn't something is wrong.
    Finally:
    python2.5 setup.py install
    Uggh. So after all of that, I got PIL happily installed and working. But guess what, avatars still don't work, or to be more descriptive, when using iChat, every MSN contact show my avatar as theirs.
    I see an avatar related exception in /var/log/pymsnt.log, but I don't really know what to do with it.

    I finally got avatar support working as well thanks to this post here:
    http://groups.google.com/group/py-transports/msg/f3cdd998a5c7a97a
    For me, that was line 2553 of src/legacy/msn/msn.py and changing:
    DATA = 0x20
    to
    DATA = 0x1000020
    After doing that, avatars work!!!

  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

  • 2nd gen nano not recognized by MBA / Lion 10.7.4 / iTunes 10.6.3

    I have this 2nd gen nano (and a bunch of other ones) set to manage music manually. This particular device has worked fine while connected to MBP mid 2010 running SL and most recent iTunes.
    But, this 2nd gen nano does not show up on the MacBook Air, mid-2011, running Lion 10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.3.
    I have reset the nano. It plays fine, responds to setting changes properly and it does charge while plugged into either USB port of the MBA.  The computer is plugged into wall juice, and the other USB port is not in use while I try to get the nano recognized. 
    Disk utility does not see it either.
    This MBA is not the computer I usually sync this 2nd gen nano to since that machine (the MBP mid 2010) is out for repair.
    i expected iTunes on this MBA  to just mount the thing (since the iPod has the manual preference set, and is a Mac-formatted nano) and that it would then let me delete a few picks and drag a few newer tunes onto it.   
    The MBA, the nano and my out-for-repair MBP all have the same Apple ID associated with purchased music on the devices.
    I rarely reload this nano and haven't actually changed its music since I put the MBP to Lion, so I am not sure if it's Lion, iTunes or the MBA that is the issue with this 2nd gen nano.
    After the 2nd nano would not mount, I tried two other iPods, one is a 3rd gen nano and the other is a Classic.   Both of them connected fine and let me drag stuff onto them.
    So it seems that either Lion 10.7.4 or iTunes 10.6.3 does not feel like recognizing the 2nd gen nano.  Hope this can be fixed.  That model nano is practically indestructible and there are still lots of them out there!

    Update on the above:
    I did some more research on this using assorted of my 2nd gen nanos and a couple 1st gen ones as well. 
    It's only the 2GB 2nd gen nanos  MA477LL part number, that do not work with Lion / 10.7.4 / iTunes 10.6.3.
    2nd gen MA477LL  does not work, it's a 2GB model. I have two of these.  Neither works.
    2nd gen MA428LL  works  it is a 4GB model
    2nd gen MA426LL  works  it is a 4GB model
    1st gen MA352LL  works - it's a 1st gen nano refurb (1GB)
    1st gen MA350LL  (1GB) - this is another 1st gen nano refurb, but one that's formatted for Windows (and had nothing on it when I connected it).  For some reason it mounted fine in Mac iTunes environment and even let me drag an AAC track onto it.  I was dumbfounded.   On the desktop, its sys info showed info like any FAT32 flashdrive but it did have an iPod nano icon on it.   I ejected it from iTunes and plugged in a pair of earbuds and hit play on the track. It plays fine.   Go figure!  I rechecked the settings in the device.  It does say Windows for the format. I feel like I'm in the Bermuda triangle.  I might have to reformat it next time a Windows iTunes setup sees that nano though.
    So bottom line here with the second gen nanos:    it's the 2GB model, the 2nd gen nanos with model MA477LL that do not work in Lion and iTunes 10.6.3 for whatever reason.   Both of my devices with that model number do work fine on an older MBA running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.

  • IPod Nano not recognized by Mac OS 10.3.9

    I was given a lovely iPod Nano for Xmas & to my dismay my 4 year old iBook, running OS 10.3.9, popped a message up the screen informing me that I needed OS 10.4.8 or higher. Apart from my displeaure at Apple for this, I have a practical technical problem to solve. I don't suppose there is a shareware solution to this, so I will pass to discussing solutions built around the OS. My iBook G4 dates from November 2003, has 933 GHz of processor power & 640 MB of RAM, the maximum possible. I have been told by a very knowledgeable Mac technician in the UK that OS 10.4 would run faster on my iBook than my present OS 10.3.9, but that Leopard would probably be too taxing, especially since the hard drive is a measly 37 GB with 4 for a maintenance partition, presently leaving only some 8 GB free on the HD. Unfortunately OS 10.4 is no longer on sale in Apple stores or resellers. I could buy it on eBay, but aren't OS's that are bundled with specific models designed to work only on those models, or can I purchase any original OS 10.4 whose owner has passed to Leopard? I'd be grateful for any help you can offer me on this.

    Thank you for your input, Catboy, but I fear Leopard will be too taxing for my processor & I know that Tiger is leaner in all respects. I have solved my problem on an immediate basis by going to a friend who has a PC with XP, who inserted my 3 gigs of music onto his iTunes for Microsoft & then downloaded it onto my iPod. So, in this case an Apple product (iPod) could be activated for the benfit of another Apple product (iBook) only by way of a PC running Microsoft XP. That is ironic, but also a bit disgraceful on the part of Apple. It's not as if I were running Puma or Jaguar, which are years out of date. I'm afraid this still sticks in my craw despite Steve Jobs'masterful showmanship at MacWorld Expo.
    No one yet has been able to tell me whether versions of Mac OS bundled with a machine are specific to that model of Mac or can be used promiscuously with any Mac with compatible specs. I am very interested in this question, because I plan to pick up a copy of Tiger. I know Apple has pulled Tiger from all their stores & from all dealers, w2hich is going to complicate things for me.
    Since I live in Europe, I will see if I can get a copy locally or failing that through eBay in the UK. But I still do need to know the answer to the above question to be sure of compatibility. Thanks to anyone who can help me.
