Itunes on my Imac G5 will not recognize any of my ipods

I was given an Imac G5, which has hardly been used and had never ever had any updates. I connected my Ipod Classic and Nano ( all circa 2007, 2009) and Itunes doesn't recognize it as an Ipod so I cannot sync them. I am very new to the Mac World and would like to know if I can update the operating system ( Panther Mac OS X) to another more current system. I downloaded Itunes 10.1 but all I keep getting is a window saying "The Installer Package " Install Itunes" cannot be found. The Bill of Materials for this package was not found". I am sorry I have no ides what this means. I hope someone can help. Many Thanks
Simone Cutlack

Panther is quite outdated operating system, it would be better if you could upgrade atleast to 10.4 "Tiger", 10.5 "Leopard" is the last operating system which will work with PowerPC -processors (G3, G4 and G5) so you might want to upgrade as much as you can at once. Apple does not seem to host any versions of iTunes on their website which would work on 10.3 "Panther". iTunes 10.1 will not work with Panther. I Googled quickly and it seems that iTunes 7 is the last series which workd on 10.3 but they might too old to support your new iPods.
I think you'll need to upgrade your OS.

Updated to 1.2.2 - Now Windows Doesn't Recognize

Hiya, I've had this 5G 80gb iPod for about a year and this is the first major problem I've encountered.
After updating to 1.2.2 (something I now regret) Windows refuses to recognize my iPod, I've followed all the guidelines and I've even tried to connect it to my laptop to no avail. The Device Manager seems to show a problem with the USB port, but I can use other hardware without any problem, and the iPod won't work on any of my six ports (there's a weird 'negative' sound each time I connect it). I can listen to my music alright, but I can't take or put anything in my iPod if Windows doesn't recognize it.
Could it be a version problem? And in that case, is there a way of reverting the firmware?
Thanks in advance.

Hi CamBej,
Have a look at this article about windows not recognising iPod,
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
If you want to revert back to version 1.2.1 on your iPod you will have to restore it, version 1.2.2 has been removed as it was causing a lot of problems.

Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

Hi,
after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
Thanks for your help

Maybe this helps:
- Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
- Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- Then reboot the notebook
But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

SpeedGrade doesn't recognize any of my clips

I have installed SpeedGrade CC, but it doesn't recognize any of my video clips, no thumbnails are shown and Adobe says "Error reading file". I have AVCHD clips, Canon EOS 7D clips, and some froma GoPro Hero3, none of these are recognized.

Here you have a list of supported formats: http://helpx.adobe.com/speedgrade/using/file-formats.html AVCHD and MP4 are not supported, but if Canon 7D files are in Quicktime wrapper, it should be readed.

I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

Trying to charge my shuffle and windows doesn't Recognize it.

I was trying to charge my son's shuffle and windows doesn't Recognize it both of them. I even tryed to charg them in the pluge in. But that does not work eather.

I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

ITunes doesn't recognize either of my iPods

I downloaded the latest update recently and since then iTunes doesn't recognize either of my two iPod touches (4th gen), even though the computer does. My iPad (1st gen) is still recognized normally. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it several times, and that didn't work. The iPods are recognized by iTunes on other computers. The computer in question runs windows 8.1, if that makes a difference. From the look of these forums it looks like I'm not the only one who has this problem. Please help.
