3G iPod and Tiger .... Not a Match Made In Heaven

Some time ago, when I first installed Tiger and then iTunes 6, I noticed that my iPod took longer to be recognized by my computer. I thought nothing of it until a few weeks ago. Then it started to take an hour to be seen on my desktop. Since then, I tried to connect my iPod to another computer running Tiger and restored it from there. I could then see my iPod on my computer, but then the problem started all over again. I tried using the other computer, but that computer will no longer see my iPod. I then wiped iTunes out and reinstalled it. My iPod still could not be seen. I tried connecting my iPod to an older G4 tower which is running 10.3, and it could see my iPod. So I restored it again, from that machine. I tried plugging the iPod back into the other two machines running Tiger, and my iPod would not show up on the desktop.
When connected my machine, the iPod acts as if it were just plugged into the wall to charge. On the other machine running Tiger, the "Do not disconnect" comes on the screen of the iPod. But on the old machine, my iPod works fine and can have music transfered to it.
Can someone tell me why my iPod can't be seen on my machine? I have followed all of the directions on the Apple Support pages, but nothing works. Please help!!!!!

OK so, to summarise:
1) The iPod works when connected to the Panther (10.3) equipped G4 tower.
2) The iPod doesn't show up at all on the desktop or in the iPod Updater software or in DiskUtility or in iTunes on either of the Tiger equipped computers (eMacs?)
However if you connect it to either of them, then iTunes freezes until it is removed? The iPod does appear in System Profiler on these computers.
3) You have no other firewire devices connected to the Tiger machines.
4) you have reset the iPod ( following the instructions found at http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n61705 )
5) you have restored the iPod , using the G4
Mmm.
Further thoughts:
If its working with the G4 under Panther, and has crrect sofwtare installed, then it must be related to either the software or hardware on the two Tiger computers. The fact that it shows up in system profiler suggests that its not a firewire port issue, though. I'd normally aexpect this to be a problem involving a conflict with another FW device, but if there are none connected it obviously can't be.
1) try reinstalling iTunes
2) zap the PRAM
3) try a new cable

CS and CR2 - apparently not a match made in heaven :^/

Hello all!
I just bought a Canon 30D this week. I shot with it for the 1st time this weekend - I was so excited to get home and open my RAW files but I'm having real trouble. The Canon 30D is producing CR2 images (camera raw 2 I am guessing.) CS is not able to open them. My 'old' camera was the 1st Canon digital rebel, I have no problems opening those raw files....I've been working with raw files for quite some time now......the raw concept is not a new thing for me.
So, I hopped on the web this morning in search of answers. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded the Camera RAW 2.4 update with the DNG converter. I read in a few places that you had to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - and with the updated camera raw plugin (2.4) CS should be able to open them. I can't even get the DNG converter to convert my CR2 files! ARRRGGHHH! When I follow the instructions, (drag the folder of images containing the raw files over the DNG converter icon...that launches the converter) it says that it can't even locate any raw files. I tried dragging a few individual raw files to the converter...no luck with that either. I'm getting a bit frustrated. I blew the bank on the new camera and lens....there is no way I can upgrade my software any time soon. I'm thinking that I can't be the only person with this problem.
I'm really, really hoping that someone has been though this and can offer some advice! Oh....I'm running Windows Vista if that matters to any of you.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Quote: "ACR 2.4 is the only version of Camera Raw that is still available for download for Photoshop CS. If your camera was added in no later version of ACR you have two options. The first option is to upgrade to the current version of Photoshop which uses ACR 4.1. It supports a lot more cameras, and yours is one of them.
If upgrading is not an option for you, then you should go online and download the latest version of the DNG converter (currently 4.1) and use it to create Digital Negative (DNG) copies of your raw images. Those DNG files can then be opened in Photoshop CS using ACR 2.4."

Bluetooth and skype... match made in heaven?

Alright, I use a Nokia HS-26W Bluetooth Headset with my cell phone, and I'm generally pleased with it. I'm considering buying a Mac, in which case I will continue to use skype as I have for a while on my pc. When I migrate, will I be able to use the Nokia headset with the computer transparently... and consequently use skype with the headset? Thanks.

Your plan is pretty good. The lightroom catalog needs to be on C:/ drive.
Import your photos into the library by Year/Month & Day. Convert images to DNG on import. Saves a lot of HDD space. See image below.
Create Collections to organize images rather than moving images around in their imported location. Using collections will not alter the images.
Zenfolio is a good choice also.

Why isn't my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop on my itunes that i have downloaded

I do not understand why my ipod and iphone not connecting to my new laptop that I got for Christmas. It did for a while and now its not. My itunes is up to date and so is my phone and ipod. Why isn't my itunes finding/syncing my ipod and iphone?!

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Hello rhys139,
It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. I found an article with information on transferring media from your iPod to your computer:

Nothing you can do but physically look for it. If it's offline it can't be tracked.

I lost my ipod and do not have find my ipod on it can it still be tracked?

No.
Sorry.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

G2 iPod and Tiger: a match made in heck

Hi. I purchased my G2 (touchweel/firewire) iPod when I still had my old computer, running OS 9.2.2. Now I've upgraded computers (15"PB w/ OS10.4.4), but can't currently afford a new iPod to "go with it". I'd like to be able to continue to sync to my trusty G2 device. So I goes to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60971 , which tells me I need iTunes 4.7. hmmm...I currently have iTunes 6.
My question (before I go off and try to sync and get into a biggol' mess): Is iTunes 4.7 the MINIMUM I need for my G2 iPod or is it the MAXIMUM? In other words, will my iPod accept nothing BELOW iTunes 4.7 or will it accept nothing ABOVE iTunes 4.7? Or will it ONLY accept iTunes 4.7? The abovereferenced page makes none of this clear.
My second question: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688 says my G2 iPod runs iPod Software Version 1.5. Since that's what's already on it (it's got tons of music on it right now), do I need to re-download it and have it lurking somewhere in the background before I sync? Or once it's "on" the iPod, should I just leave well enough alone?
My final question (for now): If I do, in fact, need to be running iTunes 4.7 to be able to communicate with my G2 iPod, will that supercede my current v.6? Or what? Can I run them simultaneously? Will that not confuse my poor PowerBook (much as I am clearly confused)?
Thank you, whomever you may be, o fair answerer of my queries.

1. Your iPod can sync with iTunes 6; the requirements listed are the minimum needed to use all features of the iPod, and synching music with a second generation iPod can be done with iTunes 2.04 on Mac OS 9.22.
2. You do not need to reinstall the iPod's firmware before using it.

I am adding songs to my ipod touch from my itunes library and a lot of the songs that i tried to add are faded on my ipod and will not play. it is like they weren't added to my ipod even though i can see it is there.

The songs will play in my itunes library but they won't transfer onto my ipod correctly. For some of the congs, I just have to locate the file and readd the song to itunes, but a lot of the songs, I don't know what the problem is.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

I have over 5000 songs on my ipod and can not see a way of keeping them if I want to set up a new itunes libary. I want to add my tunes from my ipod to a new itunes libary without it saying it will wipe what I already have. please help

Hi everyone.
I had an itunes account for my classic and a few months ago wanted to add my daughters ipod to it. it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account and asked me if i wanted it to link her ipod and delete the current libary. like a fool i said yes. now i have a party comming up and cant plug my classic in without it saying if i sync it will wipe my 6000 songs and leave me with the new blank itunes that i have just set up.
what i want to do is add my 6000 songs to a new apple id libary/itunes without it wiping all my songs. does anyone know how to do this.
help thanks

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

IPod and iTunes not syncing properly

When I swipe a song to the right on my iPod and tap delete, a cloud appears with a down arrow. The song never leaves my iPod and I am still able to play it with the cloud/arrow showing. The cloud symbol remains after syncing and the song will still play. In fact the cloud symbol never goes away until I tap it. If I tap the cloud I get the circle/square symbol indicating it has been downloaded/added to my iPod. Conversely, when I drag music on iTunes to my iPod I see the green plus sign but the song does not appear on my iPod after syncing nor on iTunes. I also have unchecked music on iTunes listed for my iPod and they still don't go away after syncing.
iPod touch 5g, refurbished
iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

As a last ditch attempt I unchecked all the albums, artists and manually loaded songs on my iPod via iTunes and synced my iPod. After syncing there were 3 songs left on my iPod which I was able to delete in the normal fashion (sliding left and touching the red "Delete" prompt). I synced my iPod again. Now iPod was empty. I then loaded the songs I wanted by clicking and dragging the albums I wanted to my iPod via iTunes. I synced again and now my iPod has the songs that I currently want on it.
