Firmware question

Does anyone know where I can find the older firmware, 1.1 or so? I just bought a new car, but the radio will only recognize 5th Gen iPods with firmware 1.1 or lower.

Thanks!

20" iMac G5, MacBook Pro & Mac Mini (Dual Core), Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Have you looked to see if you have the previous version still on your computer? If so, try this.

Remove the latest update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.

On a Mac this is found in (name of)user/library/iTunes/iPod software updates.

Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then click restore. Or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.

You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

Sorry to bother you, but I've just signed in and I'd like to know where I can get firmware information about my iMac.


This is the iPod 5th generation forum. You're likely to get a better response if you post in the iMac forum.

You can click on the Apple sign in the very top left hand corner of your screen and choose "About this Mac" then "more info". If that doesn't answer your question, post again using the link I gave.
