I purchased a new 2nd generation nano and easily loaded the iPod. Apple, despite the many times it promised on the site that there was free engraving for all new iPods, said that they meant only on new, latest generation iPods. Well, one thing came to another so I decided to upgrade my friends' gift. I bought her the third generation nano and Apple did engrave that.

When I tried to load music on the 3rd generation nano, it did not work. I phoned Apple. They only told me at that point that the new nanos required system 10.4.8 to be compatible with the new iPods. So once again on the phone with Appple, I discussed the available fixes. They said I needed to buy the system upgrade for $129. Furthermore, the upgrade would not run on my computer as is. I would need to upgrade my memory so that I could run a newer system. The approximate cost would be another $100. That means it would cost two hundred and twenty nine dollars so I could be compatible with the new iPod. Ripoff anyone? I am very angry about this. And as long as I am venting, rather than making a new pink iPod available for Valentine's Day, Apple could have hyped the red nano which is part of the Product Red line. As people know, a portion of all proceeds from product red go to African relief projects and I think Apple purposely released the pink iPod because Apple's profit margin is higher on pink ones than it is on the red ones.]]>Feb 1st 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/02/01/some-older-ipods-not-compatible-with-itunes-movie-rentals/http://www.switched.com/2008/02/01/some-older-ipods-not-compatible-with-itunes-movie-rentals/Feb 3rd 2008 10:41AM
