imac and ipod nano

I recently purchased my child an ipod nano. The children have an imac that runs osx 10.1 and I admit probably never has been upgraded with any of the software.

the imac runs fine, but i cannot load the ipod software and the itunes does not allow us to transfer downloaded songs to the nano. I see that i need osx 10.3.4 or higher.

the issue: how can i obtain an upgrade to the proper operating system and will my children's imac (from 2002) be able to run an upgraded osx?

I wanted to avoid buying a whole new computer just to accomodate the nano.

thanks for any responses.
 
But technically: Yes, that iMac will have no trouble to run newer Mac OS X software as long as it has a FireWire port and a DVD drive. (Tiger comes as a DVD. You can let Apple replace that with a CD-set, but it's much simpler if you have a DVD drive.)
 
the imac computer has a cd/rw "ultra" drive, but is does not seem to have dvd capability. how can i determine this on the imac itself. same issue with fire port.. thanks. mfm
