IPod Nano incompatible with OSX?

Wasn't sure whether this should be a standalone, or one for Mac Corner thread. Hoever I wanted to get it to as many replies as can help!

I bought my wife an IPod Nano for her birthday a few days ago, to replace an older IPod Classic that we’ve shared for years. She tried plugging it in today to her (Apple) computer, for the first time. She is having problems, in that it fails to connect, because it appears that her MacOS 10.3.9 is out of date, and not compatible with the Nano. We’re not sure whether the incompatibility is with the computer, or ITunes.

It’s not as though we have OS 9, or earlier, which would make a bit more sense, but surely IPods should be at least some ways backwards compatible with earlier software? Seems a pretty poor show.

Or are we failing to resolve something here?

Has anyone got any clues as to a fix for the problem, (other than going out and buying another £1000 Applemac?) Any help will be appreciated.
