60G iPod Photo Not Booting via Firewire

I cloned my hard drive to my iPod for backup, but it will not boot via firewire. I can select it in my Startup Disk control panel, so it's seeing the system. It used to work. Anyone else having problems booting? I'm wondering if this last updater broke the ability to boot via firewire.

  • To load or not to load included software with the 60g iPod Photo?

    I have a brand new "older" 60g iPod photo. It came with instructions to load software from included CD. Apparently, the software is more than just the iTunes software. Do I dare to load it? All my other iPods have been "plug and play" into my iTunes.

    Don't use the CD.
    Apparently, the software is more than just the iTunes software.
    Aside from iTunes, only the iPod updater is included on the disk, and that was incorporated into iTunes 7. You don't need to and shouldn't use the CD.

  • My 60G iPod Photo reads 22.9G available when empty...

    I was having a few problems with my 60G iPod Photo, mainly, it was freezing up while playing, and sometimes it would just act like it was playing songs when in actuality is was not. Most of the time when this happened I would reset my iPod and that would fix the problem temporarily. That is until it happened again. I began to get frustrated with this so I decided to restore my iPod. When I restored it, I noticed that after it cleaned it off, it was telling me I had only 22.9G available. How is this possible? When a 60G is empty it should have somewhere around 55G of available space. I restored it again thinking that it was a fluke, but it still reads the same thing. How do I get all of my memory back? ...PLEASE HELP!!....

    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • 60GB iPod Photo Not Syncing/Connecting/Showing (New March 2005)

    I have an 4G iPod photo that has worked flawlessly until one morning it stopped syncing. That is, showing up at all on the desktop. I have a Dual G5 Rev A PowerMac. No connection via FireWire 800, 400, or USB 2.0.
    It shows up once every 20 to 50 tries. Does not show up on my wife's iBook via USB 2.0 either.
    The last time it installed, I did run Disk Utility and reinstalled the iPod software to no avail. The iPod plays fine, has plenty of battery time, and charges just fine off the AC adapter. I replaced the battery with the same results.
    I have done the 5 "R's" multiple times, and reinstalled OS X 10.4.7 also.
    No errors, no Sad iPod, no syncing.
    Say it: What's Up???

  • IPod Photo not recognized on Windows XP

    I bought my Ipod Photo more than a year ago--and I've had numerous problems with it. Before my one-year-limited-warranty expired, Apple replaced my first iPod Photo for a brand new one--the one I have now.
    The iPod itself seems to be working fine. However, one day it froze so I had to reset it--losing all of my music. Then I plugged it into my computer, but to my surprise, not one of the songs on my iTunes was transferred to my iPod.
    When plugged into the computer, the "Do Not Disconnect" screen appears, and iTunes does open. However, nothing more happens. It seems like iTunes may recognize the iPod for a bit, then that's it.
    Please help with me with my problem!
    acer Aspire 3000 notebook   Windows XP   brand new computer

    I have had much the same problem. I originally ordered the 40G ipod, and was 'upgraded' to the 60G (this was when the 60G was first released). The thing has NEVER worked properly! When it does connect and upload music, it's OK....until I would try to connect it again to add new stuff. More often than not, it would need to be completely reset, losing everything in memory. Needless to say, I haven't used it much. Now I am planning a trip and wanted to bring along some tunes. I've charged and reset the ipod, I'm running the latest iTunes version, and still nothing. It's not recognized in either windows or iTunes. The best it can do is tell me it needs to be reformatted, but then it just sits there forever saying 'Do Not Disconnect'. I'd love to be able to just get to the point where I could restore or update the software, but that seems impossible.
    At this point, I really would like to upgrade to a movie-capable ipod, but my experience so far leaves much to be desired. Any suggestions?

  • 3rd generation 15GB ipod will not boot

    My third(3rd) generation 15GB iPod (A1050) will not boot. First it felt like the battery was just dead. Resetting the iPod using menu+play for 6 seconds gives me the apple logo and then the battery w/triangle/exclamation point error. I tried a new battery but that didn't change anything. I tried charging it using AC and USB, but that didn't seem to help... I don't have a firewire cable so I can't try that.
    Finally I tried to boot the iPod without the battery. I'm not sure if it's suppose to be able to do that. Well, this one doesn't so I'm not sure if I've exonerated the battery or if I just have a red herring.
    Visual inpection of the inside looks like all the cables are connected firmly and I don't see any obvious broken solder joints.
    Another point is that when I plug the iPod into my usb drive the WinXP machine doesn't see it. I use the same WinXP machine to synch with a 1 month old Nano so I know that usb port works and I do have itunes loaded.
    Any advice on what I can try next?

    I have had basically the exact same problem.
    Question: I bought mine used off of Craigslist, and I think what the seller didn't mention is that this model comes with a Cradle or 'Dock' or whatever you call it. Did you buy yours used as well? I think we may need to look into buying a dock and being mad at whoever sold it to us without one.

  • Ipod photo not recognised

    Today I updated to itunes 10.2.2 Now my Ipod photo is no longer recognised and will not even reset. It was working fine under 10.2.1 after an initial struggle.
    I can nget it into disk mode but it sill doesn't appear when plugged in. Any ideas?

    When you have the iPod in Disk Mode and connected to your PC, does it appear in as a mounted drive in My Computer (or just Computer)?
    If so, try reformatting it using the tools provided by Windows.
    Have you considering re-installing iTunes as well?

  • SONY PVM 14L4 not recognised via firewire

    Hi to all,
    I've rented a sony PVM 14L4 monitor for color correction that i'm trying to hook up to my dual G4 via firewire. FCP 5 doesn't seem to recognise it. I don't have the manual and am wondering if it is possible to hook it up directly through one of the computer's firewire ports...
    Anyone familiar with this?
    Thanks for your help...
    Tee.

    You can not hook up the monitor directly unless there is some sort of firewire board added in. If there is not one, you need a Digital Video/Analog converter between the computer and the monitor. This can be a DV camera, a DV VTR or a dedicated device such as the Canopus ADVC-300.
    It works like this: firewire out to the DV/A converter then composite or S-VHS to the monitor. There is a section about how to do this in your manuals.
    good luck.

  • Ipod won't connect via firewire, only usb

    My clickwheel ipod decided to stop connecting via firewire. I reset it, and the restored it, and reinstalled itunes. Nothing worked. I then took out the USB cable from the box (for the first time in almost 3 years) and it works perfectly.
    While trying to connect via firewire, it either doesn't show up in itunes or updates about halfway through and then stops and says error -124.
    Any ideas? thanks

  • Leopard will not boot from Firewire HD

    Hello,
    The issue is this,
    I have a Mac Mini G4 (M9687LL/A) and I am "trying" to install 10.5 on to a external firewire drive. The Drive is Acomdata 160GB Firewire dirve with a Partition Type of Apple Partition Map and is formated in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) So I boot off the Leopard install DVD and I install it to the firewire drive and all goes well. Then when I try to boot from this drive it will not boot off the FWHD. When I restart the mac and hold the option key to get the boot menu, I do not see the Firewire drive only the internal drive? So if someone can help me on this or is having the same issue let me know. Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, Acomdata's record on the matter isn't quite clean*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/firewirebug2.html
    My recommendation, swap out the hard drive case and put another one in its place around the hard drive that is known to be compatible. The only two companies I know of are http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.cooldrives.com/
    There may be others you can write to on the above FAQ*. The problem is not all Firewire nor USB drives are bootable.
    Another thing you may be running into is that if you want to use the keyboard to startup from an external drive, you may need an Apple keyboard to be certain the C or Option keys work. Option key should work if you have the right keyboard:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
    Finally, Time Machine is not a bootable backup, but does backup everything. Currently only Carbon Copy Cloner, and Apple's Disk Utility offer bootable backups of Leopard.

  • IPod Photo not displaying album artwork

  • LaCie HD does not mount via Firewire, but does via USB (in Tiger)

    I've read various posts on issues people faced when using a LaCie firewire HD after upgrading to Tiger. I never had any issues pre upgrade. I have installed the new firmware on my d2 250GB drive, at least I think I have. The drive will not mount when connected via firewire, but will when connected via USB. When I try running the update tool, it sees the drive and says there is no update available. Just to be clear, this is when the drive is connected via USB. The tool does not see the drive when connected via Firewire.
    My firewire is definitely working fine (tested with iSight).
    I've emailed LaCie, we'll see if that leads to anything. Any ideas???

    My Lacie ethernet mini is not working after Lion upgrade.
    Finally got an admission from Lacie that the login software won't work with 10.7 and they suggested going back to Snow Leopard . . .
    Apparently the login software cannot be changed or overwritten so now Lacie drives are obsolete when using Lion.
    I wish there was a way to wipe it clean and use it without the login software, but they couldn't suggest a way.
    I note you may have had better luck but I don't know how to use terminal, so I may have to junk it, or possibly take out the drive and buy a caddy for it?

  • IPod mini not syncing over firewire

    Hello! I have a 4th gen iPod that I sync over firewire. I recently bought a mini for the wife. If I connect over USB, iTunes will recognize and I can sync ok. However, if I try to use the same firewire connection, it will charge, but iTunes does not see the Mini. It would be nice to use one connection for both.
    Any ideas on what to try?

    I've done the too late at night posting thing a time or two myself.
    The mini probably syncs over USB (but I don't remember for sure) so you could try using just the USB cable.
    Best of luck.

  • IPod Photo not recognized

    I have a 4th generation iPod Photo.  I am running the newest version of iTunes (11.1.1) on the newest version of OS X (10.8.5).  When I plug the iPod into the USB on the Mac, it will not mount.  First I tried the USB on the wired keyboard.  That didn't work, so I plugged it directly into the tower.  One would think that that would be a sure thing, but noooo.  Therefore, iTunes does not recognize it.  Why?  It worked fine last week.  I've replaced the battery about a month or so ago and everything was fine until now.  Replacing the battery shouldn't have anything to do with this.  Should it?

    Yes, it operates just fine when I'm playing any audio.  When I plug the USB into the keyboard, a window pops up on the screen saying that there isn't enough power to run the iPod.  That didn't happen before I replaced the battery.  Then I plugged the USB cable directly into the Mac Pro tower.  Usually, it would either open iTunes and mount or just mount if iTunes is already opened.  This time it just wouldn't mount at all.  The iPod screen showed the red circle with the line through it and said, "Do not disconnect," even though it wasn't mounted.  I went ahead and disconnected it any way.  Nothing happened to the iPod, by the way.
    After a while, I tried it again and everything worked perfectly.  I unmounted it and remounted it several times and each time it worked as expected.  I guess the first attempts were just hiccups.
    Regarding charging, that's a whole other matter.  I don't use the computer to charge it because I tend to forget that the iPod is plugged in and invariably shut down the Mac.  As we all know, doing that drains the iPod battery.  I always charge it using the wall wart.  Sometimes it will show the battery icon with the lightening bolt and I will leave it plugged in overnight even though the icon sometimes dissappears.  When I start it the next morning, it would show that it didn't charge at all even though it is showing the battery icon with the electric plug.  Other times I would plug in the charger and it would charge quite nicely.  As I said, my 60GB iPod Photo now has a new battery and it is behaving a little differently than it did before.
