Need new (old) Generation 4 Ipod?

Paulina_Fortune

Hi,

I hope someone out there will be able to help me with my Apple Mac and getting an IPOD.

I have an Apple Mac computer that runs on Mac OSX 10.2.8. On this I have Itunes 6 and IPhoto 2.

I had a first generation IPod that is now completely dead. I think it's not feasible to get it repaired. I need to get a replacement IPOD that is compatible with my computer and software.

It looks like the latest second hand Ipod that I can get, that will work with my computer, is a 4th Generation IPOD. I'm left with trying to get a good second hand one from Ebay. The thing I'm not sure about is the Iphoto bit - it seems the 4th generation one needs IPhoto 4 and I've got an older version. Will I still be able to store photos on it from a Iphoto 2 version?

If anyone can help or has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Paulina.

Hi, does anyone know if I can use a 4th Gen Ipod using IPhoto 2 instead of Iphoto 4 (before I get one from bay)?

Thanks,

Paulina.

No. It has to be iPhoto 4 or above.

Look here for confirmation.

I really would recommend upgrading to Tiger and iLife 07 (in a few weeks obviously). Tiger & Panther are a massive leap over Jaguar, and they both open the door to the newer iPods.

iLife 06 is £28 and Panther is £50 - although that seems high

You wont be able to view photos on a 4th gen ipod as it's the monochrome model. You need an ipod with colour screen to view photos. You'll still be able to store photos as data on it however.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies NickyGoat and Gorilla. Sorry - my 'thanks' button isn't working.

I'm not very techie, and was hoping to leave my computer as it is, until is dies on me, as I'm fairly happy with what I've got. I still remember the tears I shed last time I upgraded to 10.2.8! I'll go for the 4th Gen Ipod that hasn't got the photo part - this will be a cheaper replacement until my computer goes Kaboommm!!

Cheers.

Paulina.
