Will new iPod work with old library???

For 18 months, I've had my beloved iPod mini. Alas, the time has now come to trade it in for a newer model. I have only one concern left. The iPod is notorious for its restrictions on users. I've had iTunes synched to my mini for the last year and a half. If I go out and buy an iPod video, will it work with my music library? If it doesn't, how can I get it to work? Lastly, I'll probably upgrade again when they improve the iPod video. Will IT, in turn, work, after having used the older version before it!?

That's good to hear. What has me worried is that my little brother recently bought an iPod of his mate. He tried synching it with my library and it just didn't register. Now, obviously, my new iPod will never have been linked to any other machine but still. However, my brother was able to sync his iPod with a different and fresh iTunes computer in my house

  • Will new iPods work with my iMac G3 DV?

    Hi,
    I want to buy one of the new iPods either the big baby or the Nano, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to whether it will work with my Mac.
    I have an iMac G3 DV 400mhz, which I believe has USB 1.
    Will it work with this as some are saying it might, although Apple say no.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hey!
    Ken,If you're buying a new Pod,Apple system requirements are Mac OS 10.3.9 or later.So if your OS isn't that upto date then I would say no.Also USB 1.0 isn't desirable.It would work but be incredibly slow in Mounting/Updating and so-on.USB 2.0 is the connection used on 1st/2nd gen Nano and 5th Gen iPod Video.Hope this is of some use.
    Cheers,
    John

  • Will a new Ipod work with Ibook G3 600MHz (Dual USB)?

    I have a Ibook G3 600MHz (Dual USB) with USB 1 and I'm considering buying a new 30GB Ipod; Apple recommends USB 2.0. Will this Ipod work with my Ibook?
    Thanks

    you really need USB2 high powered ports to be able to charge your ipod correctly....
    you could use USB1 to synch files but it will be painfully slow
    and you could get a USB2 iPod charger to charge your ipod

  • Will Mountain Lion work with old models of Time Capsule?

    I was using an online backup service but it slowed down my machine so I want to go to an external drive backup. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and I am thinking of purchasing an older version of Time capsule for my backups. My question is will mountain lion work with older models of Time Capsule? thanks so much.....

    Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.
    Just make sure you buy at least 3 times the GB you are trying to backup. More is better.

  • Will 30g iPod work with New Nike product?

    I recently purchased a 30 iPod video. I would like to know if the new Nike system works with it as well as just the Nano. The Nike site only lists the Nano as a requirement.
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello, I don't have a direct answer for you, but I can give you some advice. I'd highly recommend you NOT go jogging with your 30GB iPod (or any iPod with a hard drive). The jarring motion of the legs hitting the pavement (or what have you) can cause the hard drive to crash (the read/write head slams into the platter of the hard drive and will damage it, causing the hard drive to fail).
    However, if you can catch it when the disk is not spinning,(running only when the disk stops spining, there's cache that puts 25 minutes into memory so the disk doesn't have to spin) you may be ok, but to be on the safe side, I'd go against that as well.

  • New iPod working with USB 1.0

    So I heard that the new Video iPods are USB 2.0. First question, why the **** is apple going away with firewire? Second how does the new 4th generation work with USB 1.0 on an FP iMac? I am sure it is slow but will it work? Still a bit frusterated they arn't firewire....
    Thanks for the help.

    why the ** is apple going away with firewire?
    They haven't said. Perhaps to save space on the iPod.
    From everything I've read it seems to be exactly that, as if you compare the dimensions of a FireWire chip to that of a USB chip, the size differences are in general rather great. In addition, although I cannot vouch for this myself, I've read in multiple places that FireWire chips are more expensive to manufacture, therefore this could be yet another reason. Not to mention the obvious one that the majority of iPods users have Windows machines, very few of which are equipped with FireWire. It is kind of a shame that Apple is straying away from FireWire given that in multiple computers that I've tested, syncing via FireWire has proven faster (using my old 4G iPod though of course) however the speed differences are pretty marginal. Finally, the thinness and price of the new iPods truly are amazing given both the 'competition' and previous generation iPods, so it seems to be a fair enough tradeoff.
    Happy Holidays to all!!!

  • New iPod work with PB G4 400 Titanium?

    I assume my PB is not USB 2.0 (I can't see how to tell), but that just means the new iPod will sync slower, right? It will work, just slower? Planning to buy one of the video iPods and want to ensure it will work.
    Thanks.

    The System Requirements for the iPod Nano include a "built-in USB 2.0 port." I see that requirement has been dropped with the iPod Video, and replaced with "built-in USB port (USB 2.0 recommended)." Whether the iPodV will work with a USB 2.0 adapter card, I don't know, but no Tibook has USB 2.0 built in, so an adapter card is the only way you'll get it. It would be worth a try, because data transfer via USB 1.1 is at least 30 times slower than through USB 2.0, and even if the iPod can't use the adapter card, other USB 2.0 peripherals like hard drives and flash drives will.

  • Will any iPod work with Mac OS 10.3.9?

    I want a basic iPod for music on the move but what older ones will work on my iBook G4 running 10.3.9? I don't mind trawling eBay... I understand that the new iPods require a more up to date OS...

    You can look at the iPod specification profiles here
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumer_electronics/index-ipod.html
    There is an entry for +Mac Support+ on the profiles, which shows the earliest Mac OS X release that is supported by each model.

  • Will any Ipod work with Windows 98

    Thats what I have Windows 98 SE.Will any Ipod series work with my PC.

    The iPod Windows software as supplied by Apple (and iTunes) will only work on a Windows 2000 or XP system.
    However there is third party software which you can use, to enable you to use your iPod with a Windows 98 PC.

    Anapod Reinitializer 1.0.0
    Anapod Reinitializer is a free, lightweight utility for reformatting and reinitializing your iPod. Its function is equivalent to the Restore button in the Apple iPod Updater utility. Anapod Reinitializer runs on all versions of Windows, so it allows Windows 98/ME users (who cannot use Apple's software because it only runs on 2000/XP) to format their iPods.
    Anapod Explorer 8.7.3
    Anapod Explorer is hands-down the most advanced Windows software companion for your iPod. Anapod can copy and backup iPod music and playlists to your PC and integrates your iPod into Windows Explorer as a full-fledged device under My Computer, allowing you to transfer files to your iPod as well and use a familiar Explorer interface to manage on-board music, playlists, contacts, notes, and more. Also included are a built-in database called AnapodSQL and a one-of-a-kind web-based streaming interface to your iPod called Anapod Xtreamer.

  • Will New ipod disk update old ipod?

    I'm totally new at this crap and I'm fed up. My son's Nano has only worked well for about 2 weeks since he received it for Christmas. It seems to be more trouble than it's worth. Last week, it displayed the folder icon so we took it to an apple store. The "genius" hooked it up to his computer, said it was fixed, then told us to take it home and we would have to load "ipod updater." We did -twice. Had to go through the whole uninstall and reload nightmare (a major nightmare since we can only afford dial up). After 4 hours a day over 3 days, itunes still doesn't recognize the nano and we continue to get the "need to update ipod - click here to install" window.
    My parents have bought me my own Nano for my birthday now. If I load the disk that came with it, will it fix my problem? I'm tempted to return it and get a plain 'ole MP3 player like all my friends did when they decided the ipods were too much trouble.

    apple store genius had to reformat ipod for windows on the store's pc. was told I could not have done this at home - they must do because they have the appropriate software.

  • Will new license work for old compiler?

    I'm on a project that requires using a customer's older Sun C++ compiler (ver. 5.0). Unfortunately they're not going to upgrade for months!
    Will purchasing a license for the newer compiler still allow me to use the older compiler or is there something specific between license and product?
    Thanks.

  • Will PC54G2 WLAN work with old motherboard?

    Hi
    I have an old motherboard Intel Triton VXPro which probably has 5V voltage on the PCI. PC54G2 is operating at 3.3V. Will it work together? I know that chipset on this card is ralink 2500 and on Ralink's www page is written that both standards 3.3 and 5V are supported (in reference card). http://www.ralinktech.com/prod-2.htm
    Thanks
    PS. The old computer works as a NAT for 3 other ones.

    Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.
    Just make sure you buy at least 3 times the GB you are trying to backup. More is better.

  • I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

    I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

    The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device.  Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up.  It keeps syncing to the old library...

  • Will my new Ipod synch with a shared library on home sharing?

    Will my new Ipod synch with a shared library on home sharing?

    You would need to drag the shared library into that computers library so that you now have it to sync over to the idevice.
