Camera Connector + NANO 8GB = deception

Hi,
Seems I have wasted my $ on this device despite its description of supporting ANY iPOD with a color display and ver 1.1 software.
NANO = Color display & VER 1.1.2 software....
Why Apple Why? It is bad enough we have spend a small fortune on your "accessories" the least you could do is be accurate with the products you sell... so deceptive!
Needless to say the iPOD and its pricey accessories are back on the store shelf (I bought the USB power adapater as well) and $400 back in my pocket.

So what you are saying is that I need to be savy with iPod history? There is actually a product from Apple called "iPod with color display"? That is ridicules. Even if I did look at the accessory page I would still think that the Nano 8GB would be a supported iPod do to their vague and erroneous naming of their "iPod with color display" product.
I guess I will quote what is actually on the box of this product because that is what I looked at.
"Compatible with all iPod models with color display. Requires iPod software v1.1."
http://a763.g.akamai.net/7/763/1644/v001/app.infopia.com/img/image/fp/extra/1/VP ID/2981487
So tell me again how one is supposed to determine from this that the iPod Nano 8GB with its color display and ver 1.1.2 software is not compatible?
sorry still think they are deceptive and money is still in my pocket.
Also, if Apple doesn't look in these forums, then I guess they are not interested in improving their products.

Does iPod Nano work with Camera Connector?

Is the iPod Nano able to work with the Camera Connector? How about the Belkin Camera Connector or Belkin Media Reader?

6GB nano we might see in a year, a 20 GB nano is presently only a fantasy and while eventually possible, we won't be seeing it anytime soon. To my understanding the belkin media reader uses firewire to communicate among other things so no it wont work with the Nano. And of course the Nano is windows preformatted windows compatible.

New Nano and iPod Camera Connector?

I just bought the new iPod Nano (3rd generation) and the iPod Camera Connector.
The iPod is not recognizing the camera connector. When I connect the camera connector to the iPod, I get this message: "Unsupported accessory is not supported".
The genius Apple salesman assured me that it would work. Meanwhile, the camera connector works fine with my iPod Color 60GB model.
Can anyone help me out? Has anyone tried this? I have a funny feeling, (even though the salesman assured me it would work.) that it is not compatible.
Thanks!

None of the new iPods (Classic, Touch, or 3rd gen Nano) support the camera connector. Based on the fact that other dock connecting accessories which worked with the older iPods don't work with the new ones, it's probably a hardware difference in the dock.
Apple has not announced any new camera connector that will work with the new iPods. Sorry.

Can the camera connector be used with nano 1st gen

As subject states, can the camera connector be used with the Nano??
Many thanks!!

The camera connector cannot be used with the iPod
nano; it is only compatible with the iPod photo, iPod
with color display, and Fifth Generation iPods out of
those released so far.

Ok thanks, but the Nano does have a Does a colour screen and can also store photos.
Not that i dissagree with what your saying, its just strange!

IPod Nano using the new Camera Connector

I resently purchased an iPod Nano and a new Camera Connector direct from Apple. Before I did this I checked the compatability issue with both the camera and the camera connector, and with the Nano and the camera connector. All the adds at the Apple store state that the camera connector works with all ipods that have a color screen. When I connect them the screen on the ipod states "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this iPod". They advertise that you can store 25,000 photos in a Nano. Did I waste my money on a Nano and camera connector. (I already had a 4G 20GB iPod with an older Belkin Camera connector)

Yes, you may have wasted your money on the camera connector. The problem is that the camera connector has been out for a while and, at the time it was made, the only color iPods were full sized ones, and the camera worked with them. So, what they advertised was true up to the time until the Nano was released.
Now, Apple has released the Nano, which technically is a color iPod, and it dosen't work with the camera connector. The problem is that they haven't changed the advertising for other products to account for limitations of the Nano yet.

Can use camera connector with ipod nano v1.1?

upgraded nano from 1.0 to 1.1, then is it possible to use nano with camera connector?

Sorry, but no, that was not one of the changes made in the update.

Nano + camera connector = love?

hi there
ther's been a lot of talk about the nano's dock adaptor...will this allow me to use the nano with the ipod
camera concector to offload pics? i already have an mp3 player but it doesnt have a colour screen and i really want to use the nano as an excuse to buy an ultra cool/slim photo storage device for when i travel next year! failing that do any of you nkow of a photo storage device arounf 4Gb? i'm not overly keen on the epson 40 gb-aimed-at-pros hard drives
ALSO .... i've just moved to mac and unfortunately this renders my lovely (yes lovely) sony hd5 useless
....which comopanies make apple compatible mp3 players (6-20GB?)
as im not overly keen on an ipod (except nano, but i have too much music)
I kno rio's stuff is excellent but unfortunately our good freind the iPod has put them out of business. RIP
many thanks. advice for any of the above will be taken gratefully
Robbie

As far as I know, the nano doesn't have USB host capabilities. That translates into no camera connector to offload pics. You're going to have to go with the larger iPods for that - 20gb or 60gb from the current offerings.
As far as compatibility with other DAPs (digital audio player - mp3 player is really a misnomer now), there isn't much out there. iPod is your best bet for seamless compatibility. That's the "curse" of being a Mac user. But I guess there are worse things to be cursed with, like having to use Windows.

IPad won't detect iPhone with camera connector

So I got the camera connector kit and wanted to use it to transfer photos from my iPhone 4GS to my iPad 1. Unfortunately, the iPad doesn't detect it, it just sits there. How do I fix that?

According to the support page: "In addition to supporting digital cameras and SD cards, you can also import photos and videos from your iPhone*, iPod touch, and iPod nano (5th generation) using the Camera Connector."

Problems With My New Ipod Nano 8Gb

Like most got a new ipod Nano 8Gb for Christmas and I had previously installed Itunes and Quicktime to the latest versions. I hooked up the ipod and it was recognized and it said it wanted to update to version 103 which i allowed it to do.
A bar came up and started going across and I let it go and after 5 minutes it was still going and then after 15 minutes it was still going but I could tell that nothing was happening. (apple if you read these forums how about changing your updates so a percentage is given). I disconnected the player and had to end the task on Itunes to get it to close and then I hooked up the ipod and this time it went into itunes and synced and seemed to copy the 6 albums I had in there.
I then decided to put a couple more albums on, but when I told it to sync this time the software couldn't find the device and I was given an error. The long and short of this is the device will sync initially and download *Music only* as any of the other checkmarked items will not download, but after the initial syncing anything else added to itunes will not sync or update again.
I've also noted that anytime you change a setting in the itunes by putting a check mark in the box eg. such as podcasts, movies, outlook and so on the next time the ipod is plugged in none of these items are checked.
I've come to the conclusion that Apple didn't do much testing on this device and so far i'm not very impressed and will most likely take the product back for a refund. How can Apple expect people to do all these things I've been reading about to try and fix the many problems that seem to plague this new Nano 3rd Gen unit?
Does anyone from apple read these forums and know what's going on?

Well i've tried a few things that haven't done anything.
- 1 reinstalled Itunes but this did nothing to help
- I tried to restore the unit but got the dreaded 1418 error
I do have a question though when I plug my ipod in i hear it connect and it shows a USB mass storage device down in the taskbar which i can click on and see that it is the ipod usb device but if I look under My Computer there is nothing in there. So my question is should there be a device in my computer and should I see the device down in the taskbar?

Camera Connector

Camera Connector is only USB 1.1. Does anybody know if this is true?
FYI the Connector works with the Sony Alpha 100, it moved 945 mb of raw plus JPG files in 18 minutes with a drain of approx. one quarter to one third on the battery. Sandisk Extreme III 1GB card.

no. in order to get photos on the nano you need to have them in the directory you specify on the computer and itunes will copy them over as long as there is space on the nano.

IPod Video + camera connector issue

I have iPod Video 60G and recently bought camera connector to have an ability to download pictures from my camera (Sony DSC-V1) on iPod. Also I have Belkin card reader 8 in 1 (F5U248). What I have read from Apple site and other different sources both of this devices should work with camera connector. I have tried both versions of iPod software 1.0 and 1.1. Whatever I have tried gives me on iPod only one message: "ready to connect" and nothing happens after that. It seems like there is no identification if anything connected to iPod at all. I may asume that this is a hardware problem from iPod side. iPod even does not try to initiate download. Did anyone see such kind a behaviour? Appriciate any information.
Thank you

well this is an user to user forum so u wont get an apple support guys response here.

Calling all iPod Classic owner who wants to use iPod Camera Connector

Dear All Honoured iPod Classic users a.k.a Photo Enthusiats,
Good day. I have recently bought an iPod Classic and iPod Camera Connector. As many of us may be into photography. I believe you may agree with me, it is more expensive to buy CF Card especially when you travelling on holiday or assignment. Moreover 1x 8GB CF card is never enough.
It is troublesome to bring your laptop together when you are travelling. So the best option to transfer all your photos from the camera is to use an iPod Classis and Camera Connector. This helps you to continue shooting without worrying running out of CF card for your next day shooting.
Currently iPod Classic has firmware v1.0.3 but iPod Camera Connector only works for iPod v.1.1 and above. So, in conclusion ... i urge every member here to send in their feedback to Apple ... logon to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html , so that Apple will act on it sooner rather than we play wait and see game.
So, logon today and send in your feedback. Who knows, tomorrow we will have the iPod Classic firmware updates that allow us to use iPod Camera Connector and this will solve our problem and save our money in CF card.
Cheers! Happy New Year.

Hi Josh,
Interesting web site. I holiday in the UK (my passport ran out in '91 and I haven't felt the need to replace it yet) and off to Shropshire in September.
Lovely, the UK is actually a surprisingly excellent place to retreat to, despite the occasional weather issues.

Yes, if you have the money, the B&W is great, but as I said, it's only a speaker.

All of the PURE products are excellent, good luck finding one to suit your needs!

Transferring photos from camera with nano?

I understand that current accessories do not yet exist to transfer pictures directly from a camera for the nano. Does anyone know if Apple or a third party plans to develop something in the next few weeks?
Message was edited by: MisterSeth

Apple does make an iPod Camera Connector, but it's not compatible with any generation of the iPod nano. This is a user-to-user forum, none of us work for Apple. We have no idea what they have planned and it's against the Terms of Use to speculate about their plans. However, the iPod nano has been a model for some time now and no camera connector has yet be made for them.
I might suggest you send Apple some iPod nano feedback and request an adapter:

I pod doesnt' work with the camera connector and Canon EOS 20D!

Eigentlich wollte ich gerne den I pod 60GB Video, 5. Generation erwerben, um Fotos auf meiner Reise per Camera Connector darauf abzusichern. Obwohl die Kompatibilität mit meiner Canon EOS 20D zuoberst bei der Apple Site bei der Benutzung des Camera Connectors aufgelistet ist, klappte der Fotoimport beim Ausprobieren in ZWEI Apple Stores mit fachkundiger Hilfe nicht.
Darauf versuchte ich Hilfe von dem Apple Care Team per Telefon zu kriegen. Sie versuchten das Problem immer wieder an einem anderen Mitarbeiter weiterzureichen. Nach der fünften Verbindung ohne Hilfe hatte ich definitiv genug!
Und nun poste ich hier in diesem Forum, weil ich auf der Support Site keine Mailadresse gefunden habe und hoffe, dass jemand Deutsch versteht und mir vielleicht helfen könnte!
Ich bin treuer Apple User, hatte einen G4 und nun einen G5 & Apple Display, haben den sogenannten „Apple Care Protection“ Plan, kurz also ein treuer Apple-Kunde, aber werde trotzdem im Stich gelassen! Zudem ist die Werbung auf der Apple Site schlicht weg gelogen und irreführend, da auf dem neuen Ipod nicht einfach Fotos abgespeichert werden können und die Canon EOS 20 D, die laut der Apple Site kompatibel ist, schlicht weg nicht mit dem Camera Connector funktioniert!
Meine Fragen: Bringt Apple ein Update auf den Markt, dass ich die Canon EOS 20 D an den Ipod 5. Generation per Camera Connector (wie geworben!) anschliessen und Fotos importieren kann?
Weiss jemand eine Support Mailadresse, an die ich meine Fragen schreiben kann?
Ich bin für eure Hilfe dankbar und erwarte nun auch von Apple fachkundige Hilfe (beziehungsweise eine Stellungsnahme ...).
Mit freundlichen Grüssen

iPod Camera Connector: Supported Devices
The iPod Camera Connector requires a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod photo (also known as iPod with color display) and a supported camera or media reader. Other iPods, including iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod (Click Wheel), and iPod shuffle, are not supported with the iPod Camera Connector.
The iPod Camera Connector supports cameras with USB connectivity based on the following commonly used protocols:
PTP
Type 4 (or Normal)
Mass Storage
For the complete list of supported cameras and media readers, see this webpage.
If you're using Mac OS X 10.3.x, you can use Image Capture to quickly verify what protocol your camera supports. To do this:
Connect your camera.
Open Image Capture.
Click Options and then click Device Options.
You can also check your camera's owner manual or the vendor's website to find out what protocols your camera supports. Also see "iPod Camera Connector: Choosing a photo importing protocol on a camera" for additional information.

My ipod is COMPLETELY SCREWED after using camera connector

g'day
After using the camera connector with my 30GB ipod, i can't do anything with it any more. when i select a song it doesn't play, it just skips through to the next and the next and the next... and i can't view any photos nor videos. ie my ipod is bloody useless!!!!
no, there aren't any errors with any of the songs etc and i've done the so-called five r's but to no avail
HELP ME!!

My mini has been doing the same thing lately. I'll charge it completley, not touch it for a day, then when I go to the gym, it tells me that it's dead. It will always come on but I rarely get to the menu, it just tells me that it's dead. If you send it to Apple, it's something like $65 (there is a link here somewhere) but I'm contemplating just buying a new iPod. If I understand correctly, they don't fix your iPod if it's doing this, they just send you a new one...they don't make the mini anymore so am I going to get a Nano in it's place? I don't know, that's why I'm more than likely just going to buy a new one.
