"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes, but on the box, the nano's specs works with your new OS?

do you need to upgrade the nano's firmware?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I think I've done both of those. The new OS is right for sure, and the first time I plugged the iPod in, it did something with an update.

I have no idea what to do other than suggest a visit to the Applestore with the iMac and nano and cable in hand. It may just be that the iMac is too outmoded for these newfangled devices. :-(

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You could try creating a new user account on the computer, and see if iTunes works better with that one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So when is that thing happening that is happening today?

I tried to backup my iTunes last night and it said the file was too big for a CD and to put in a DVD. Well, I only have a CD-R drive... How the heck to I back up my stuff?

All is well that ends in pizza.

That's odd. What version is it?

I know iTunes 7 is supposed to ask for another CD. I don't know abut earlier versions.

You could use a standard CD burner program, like Nero or some such to span disks and just back up your library folder.
