3g firewire dock and new ipod

My 3g iPod (10gig) died just in time for Chirstmas. Will the firewire dock that came with it work with the new iPods? I prefer firewire to usb and don't what to have to purchase one since Apple stopped shipping with them. Please help.

It will only work for charging your iPod.
The new iPods do not support any type of data transfer via Firewire. They are USB only.

Older iPod Dock and New Ipod Classic....

I got an ipod classic as a replacement for my 5th gen ipod video... Back in august i got a universal dock to use with it and the dock dosent seem to work with my Ipod classic...Its an older model dock could this be why? What should i do? IT WAS A $50 DOLLAR DOCK not including a remote!

Came across this in a search...
I have a universal dock and an 80gb classic. Presumed it would work fine but no sound comes out, even though the volume is max. Tried my old 20gb and it works fine. No problems with the creature speakers. I used the supplied adaptor and tried without but to no avail.
What the **** is going on? I've had nothing but trouble with Apple stuff lately
I wanna get jiggy in my house!

Cant hear music through dock..new ipod, current model

Hi all, I cant hear any music through any dock I have in the house. Headphones is fine. I have four adaptors from old dock to new ipod and none work...what's going on...should I reset?

Since you already did all that stuff, I don't know what else you can do... I think there is a mechanical "switch" of some type inside he headphones jack that recognizes when you have something plugged in. It may be "stuck" in the position when headphones are plugged in, so the iPod thinks there is something there when there is not. I heard that you can use something non-conductive, like a wooden toothpick, to dislodge it, but I've never had a need to do it myself.
OR, since all 7th gen nanos are still under warranty, and you know this is not an incompatibility issue because it worked before, maybe you should have it checked by an authorized tech for repair or replacement. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. You can make a reservation at the store's web page

Hi, I have an iTunes account on my laptop set up to work with my old iPod. I now have an iPad and new iPod but set up under a different account- can I put all the songs from my iTunes onto the new devices. Thanks.

Yes
Put all the music on one computer, make sure it is authorized for all accounts, sync.

Is there anyway the latest firmware could have enabled my restriction passcode as I have never enabled it myself this has happened to my ipad2 and new iPod 4 g

Is there anyway the latest firmware could have enabled my restriction pass code this has happened to my ipad2 and new iPod 4g,I have not set these codes but I ALLWAYS use the same 4digit numbers and when I enter these I tells me I have made 4 attempts,what is the correct way to resolve this,does it mean a reset or restore,wonder if this has been a problem with other users as I mentioned I have never set these codes because I have no need to as I am the only user on my iPad and iPod.

I have seen other users report this very same issue after an update. Unfortunately, if you don't have the passcode to unlock restrictions, you have to restore the device as new in order to gain access again. If you restore from a backup - the passcode will still be in that backup and you will end up right where you started.
But in your case, you were not using a passcode, so I am hoping that you have a backup that predates the backup from when you updated the device. If you have multiple backups, you can restore from an older backup that should not contain that passcode and then you should be OK.
Do you backup with iTunes? If you do - go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and see if there is any older backup in that window - other than the one from when you updated the iPad iOS.
Have you restarted or reset the iPad since you updated? It's worth a shot to try. I don't think it will change this situation, but they are both easy and harmless to do.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Bought a new computer, and new ipod 160 GB. I went to sync all my music and it's telling me that the computer isn't authorized. I authorize it and it still won't let me syn these songs

Think you got to reboot or relaunch iTunes after the Authorization.
but here is the Apple support Article on Authorization and sync to iPod

Old ipod in possesion (firewire)...New ipod stuff in car...can they mate???

I have an old ipod that uses firewire, and the new sound system in the car has the dock cable for newer ipods.....(i have a mini as well). Is there any wonderfully magical cable that can make the old one compatible with the car??? Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Naomi G

probably not, the dock connector has the firewire signals in it, plus many other signals (usb data, various power lines, audio i/o, power control, video out, ipod serial i/o)
older ipods just don't have all these signals
the dock serial i/o is probably different from the 3g version, and the 1/2 gen versions different again (don't think there was any ipod data out on 1/2 gen)
if you could get hold of the parts you could certainly make a power and audio-only adaptor cable, but that'd be quite clumsy

Why no firewire support for new iPods?

If firewire is so much better and faster why did the geniuses at Apple decide to discontinue support for it? It took me over 30 minutes to upload music & videos to my new iPod w/ USB, which would have taken 5-10 minutes with Firewire. I don't get it!

They did it because they obviously didn't see the need for it.
Either you have a usb 1.1 port, or have about 500mb of music. The speeds aren't that different between USB2.0 and FW. In fact, i think USB is faster. Stop complaining here, this is only a user-user support forum.

Different power requirements between 3G and newer iPods?

Can anyone inform me as to whether there is any input power
requirement difference between the 3G and newer "dock connector" iPods? I'm wondering why Griffin Tech sells a PowerPod car power cord for the 3G and earlier dock models and a PowerJolt for the 4G and 5G dock models and Shuffle. If there is no power difference, I'd like to buy the PowerJolt, and use it for both my 3G dock model and my Shuffle, without buying 2 different car power adapters. Any light that can be
shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

I answered my own question. I found my 3 year old owner's manual and found the page where it noted that the iPod will NOT charge the battery when connected via USB to dock cable. Concluding that I probably would not damage my iPod, I tried connecting the PowerJolt, and, as suspected, the iPod does NOT charge. The Griffin Tech solution for vehicle power for the 3G iPod REQUIRES PowerPod.

Recommendations for speaker/charge dock for new iPod Nano 5th generation 8g

I have searched and searched for a speaker/charging combo dock for my new iPod Nano 5th generation 8gb player. None of them specifty they work with this latest iPod version.
Any recommendations?

I think I have the same question more or less. I bought a cheap Best Buy memorex speaker docking station and I need a male to female IPOD cable so that I can Play the radio and charge the IPOD at the same time as well of course have the head phone jack plugged into the Line In that acts as the antenna.
So if I had the Male to Female cable My dock would charge and the cable to the line in acts as a Antenna. I think this makes sense..

ITunes 7 and new iPod not playing video

OK here's my other problem:
I have a new iPod, and have downloaded iTunes 7 and Tiger.
I've downloaded a video from iTunes (Michael Jackson's Thriler).
But when I double click on it in 'purchased', it won't play. Nothing happens, no icon, nothing.
Then when I restarted I got a message after iPod syncing that said 'Thriller' not transferred because iPod cannot play it'.
Any idea why?! I thought that's what I paid for...!

I am having a similar problem. I downloaded a song from iTunes a few minutes ago, but when I went to listen it, only part of the song plays. The song is abut 2:50 in length, but skips to another song in the playlist at about 1:30. It seems to pick the song it skips to rather randomly, fwiw!
Can I try downloading the song again, or will iTunes charge me for it a second time?

IPod touch battery and new ipod touch repairing decision

Hi,
I have an iPod touch 4th generation(8gb)that I have had for about 2 years. A few months ago I noticed something wrong with it. Whenever I kept the battery fully charged it decided to shut off by it's self even when it acted fully charged. Now I'm trying to decided if I can actually get a professional to repair the battery for it or if it's best to get a new iPod touch. Otherwise I don't know what else I can do. My warranty expired so I'm thinking getting a new battery will not be free either way. I don't think there's water damage unless if there is I don't know where to look on the iPod. Need help to figure out what I should do about the battery because the buttons and screen is fine I think it's just the battery that is the problem. Although I did hear about the next ios7 or something, but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with this. I've asked a worker in an iPhone repair shop place about this problem and they agreed it has to do with the battery. No matter how many times I have kept it charged fully or started charging it won't stay on unless it stays charging.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. If onoly a battery than battery replacement is an option. Apple might tell yo what is wrong so you can them make an informed decision.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. If only the battery is bad then the exchange price is $79. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. It is s less for replacing he batteryGoogle for more.
