Can I connect iPod (with dock connector) with just a USB connector?
My mother-in-law gave my daughter her old iPod (with dock connector). It was supposed to come with an adapter that converts the 6-pin firewire cable to a USB cable (you are supposed to plug the 6-pin into the dock connector to charge it, then use the adapter to connect to your computer). We never got The adapter, so I just used USB connector from my own iPod nano to connect the old iPod into the computer. All kinds of error messages. I've now restored the iPod and it seems to be working, but I'm afraid to plug it back in using just the USB cable. Is it possible to connect the USB cable directly from the iPod to the computer without the adapter? Or could the problem be that I have also use my iPod nano on this computer? Thanks for any help you can provide.
A 15GB iPod would have to be a 3rd gen iPod. It has a touch (not click) wheel with four touch buttons in a row that glow orange during use, correct? That model needs to be connected using FireWire, because it cannot charge over USB.
If your new Mac has a Thunderbolt port, you can get an adapter for FireWire

plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400

Another way, if you have the square white FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, is to get a special docking cable that Apple used to sell a long time ago. It has both USB and FireWire connectors. Here's a listing for a third-party version on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vanco-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-1-USB-1-FireWire-Cable-/2 71074766489?pt=US_MP3_Player_Chargers_Cradles&hash=item3f1d50ae99
(Search on "FireWire USB iPod docking cable" to see other listings.)
What you do with this thing is plug the USB connector to your Mac's USB port, the FireWire connector to the FireWire power adapter, and the dock connector to the iPod. iPod can then sync over USB while getting power over FireWire.
I would go with that special cable, to avoid using a series of adapters (which adds complexity and unreliability) and tying up the valuable Thunderbolt port for just your iPod.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers

- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

Thanks,

How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my BUSH LCD32TV022HD
This does not have an HDMI port but does have:-
1) S-Video I/P,
2) Video I/P,
3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
5) DVI input
6) VGA inputWelcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC.. -
Can not connect outside of Lan to with rtsp PVC2300
I have the following cameras set up at my office
1 - PVC2300
2 - WVC54GC
3 - AXIS 225FD
I have a BEFSR81 Router
I have a computer on Windows XP running the surv software to record. Everything with that is good.
I also have 2 desktops.
I have been playing around with the rtsp feed with the pvc2300, but have run into a few problems.
1(a). I can not connect outside of the LAN with RTSP with either the VLC player or quicktime. It connects and asks for a password and then just hangs.
The PVC 2300 local address is 192.168.1.102 with ports 554, 5000-5010, and 6970-6999 forwarded on the router. What am I missing?
1(b) I can successfully connect with my blackberry bold, although when I try to change the default port (554) to something else (I would like to RTSP my the AXIS camera as well, so I will need a different port) it connects on my bold, but then says server is unresponsive. What am I missing here?
2. The voice with the PVC 2300 using http outside of the LAN (internet) lags quite baddly and is choppy. This happens without fail when I have all 4 cameras running, which I understand is upload bandwidth problem. But it also happens when I connect to just the PVC2300. I do have a connection to all 4 cameras inside the LAN to the XP running the surv software, but that is it. Is the my router acting buggy? I have unplugged the router for 5 sec, and it fixed it for a while, but it always comes back. I have donwloaded the latest firmware for the router and PVC 2300 and that didnt seem ot fix it either. Suggestions?
3. This is more of a question. I know the mobile streaming of the PVC 2300 does not include voice. Is there an app or way that I can just get it to my Blackberry. Even if I didnt get the video, voice is sometimes more important to me.
I hope Ive been clear enough in my description, Im very self taught (google is amazing), but I am in no way a techy.
Thank you in advace for your help.
ColinGlad to hear you are successfully using the SWVMS16. That program is really cool and useful. I just cant tell you how that model of Linksys Router can work for you here (that is not a model we support on this community as its not small business)
Regarding RTSP access, are you also including the mobile.sdp in the URL?
RTSP:///mobile.sdp I noticed in the camera GUI with the newer firmware, you can specify an access code under mobile settings after checking the enable mobile streaming box. That word may be what you have to include, so check that too...
Try this locally first and then remotely is the easiest way to see if you got it right, then it just becomes a routing or firewall issue to figure out.
But your forwarded ports look right and should be opened.
Under advanced settings, you can define an alternate HTTP, HTTPS or RTSP port -
Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme
Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme
If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
Upgrade to Yosemite?? -
How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?
How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?
What devices?
The iPad can only pair with earphones, speakers and keyboards.
It cannot directly pair with other phones or computers for file transfer or other operations.
Most Bluetooth devices will have a user guide to connect them to other devices. follow that to start the process.
From the iPad side, its just a matter of going inot Settings->BlueTooth turning it on, and searching for the device to pair. -

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).
I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

What kind of advise is this, call up Nokia Contact Centre? They can not fix the most simplest problem and the customer service just lacks big time. I spent 3 days trying to get my OVI Music fixed! The best is they don't know what they hell is going on. I even explained in so much detail what is happening with my account and all they recommend is try logging in after 30mins - 1 hour (what on earth do they do at their end just press some keyboard buttons like they doing something?)
The most common thing I would have done is (if I was a Nokia employee) contact the relevant team and tell them majority users still can not login and they tried but still failed to login and then escalate the problem with them and make sure this issue gets seen to and promptly fixed but nooooo we got lazy and crazy employee here too just like the customer service it just shows the whole team is one shattered company falling to bits bit by bit unless they get their act sorted and help the customers, which makes the difference!!! -
Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)
Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.
