Connect new ipod to G3 300mhz clamshell?

I am thinking about getting an ipod as a gift for someone - one of the full-size models with movie support. The person i am buying it for has got a G3 iBook (clamshell) 300mhz (one of the tangarine ones).
As the iBook is so old, will it work ok with the iPod? I have looked around and think that the lack of firewire/usb2 might be a problem so would like a bit of advice before i go spending my hard-earned!
thanks

The computer won't meet the system requirements for iTunes 7:
Macintosh Requirements
* Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
* 500MHz G3 processor or better
* QuickTime 6.5.2 or later
* 256MB RAM
* Combo/Super Drive to burn CDs
* Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
* Nike + iPod Sport Kit requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
Additional Video Requirements
* Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
* 1 GHz G4 processor or better
* QuickTime 7.1.3 or later
* 16MB video RAM
So I'd say the answer will be no.

Help please, system crash when connecting new iPod

I just got a new iPod Classic 160 GB. I connected it to my computer by the USB, and it said I needed the newest version of iTunes. I downloaded from iTunes the lastest 7.4.3.1 today. I first installed it and tried to use it without success. I then uninstalled all iPod and iTunes programs, updated and ran Spybot, and updated and ran Virusscan. My computer is now totally clean. I then re-installed iTunes, but I am having the same problem. When I plug my iPod into the computer, the screen goes temporarily black, and then I get a blue screen error code Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF787D9B6, 0xF30BC6CC, 0xF30BC3C8).
Please help...Thanks!

Well, I forgot to de-authorize my machine when I was upgrading to Vista, and remembered only after I was done.
Now I have two computers authorized under my account (although they are the same machine).
Speaking of which, any idea how I ought to de-authorize the non-existant computer?
edit: the parent's not trying to reinstall windows, d'oh! but my question still stands.

Connecting new iPod Classic to a TV

Hi! I am hoping that someone can help me. I am somewhat new to this whole mp3 thing. I did get my 9yr old daughter an iPod nano for Christmas and have been helping her set hers up, but that's pretty much the extent of my experience. So, please forgive my ignorance.
I am thinking about getting myself a new 80gb iPod classic. I would like to be able to easily hook it up to various TV's to watch downloaded movies. As I believe that composite hook-ups are the most universal, I'm thinking that composite cables would be the way to go. However, after researching this for the past couple of hours, I think I am more confused than I was before. If I am understanding this correctly, with the new iPod classics, you have to purchase special $50 Apple cables if you want to watch your videos on a TV. And then there is a $50 dock that is available that I can't really figure out what it does. Is the dock necessary? Do I need both the cable and the dock? Is there anything else I would have to buy? Is there a better and/or cheaper way to achieve this? I would really like to know before I spend $250 on the iPod how much more money I am going to have to spend in order to watch downloaded movies on the TV. Any help/advice at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AC

Unfortunately for both of us the $50 cables are required for the use of an iPod classic on the TV. I got on the chat with one of the apple professionals to ask this question because I have purchased $10 cable that I thought would connect my iPod to the TV for the purpose of viewing videos, to my surprise all I was able to achieve was sound. After messing with the video settings it was all still to no avail. As far as the Dock...it's not required for use with your TV, the cables will do just fine, and I've not looked into what the dock does myself.

Connecting new ipod touch to TV?

Hi i currently own the new ipod touch i want to connect it to my tv so i can stream live NHL video via the gamecenter app. Are there any cables or leads so i can connect to my tv that are compatible with the new ios?
I have seen a few floating around but most say only compatible with ios up to version 3.0
Also, some say you can't use them to watch video from your ipod through your tv, only view pictures. HELP?

Many different cable works. See the following. Note that TV out on the iPod ony works for apps that specifically support TV out. You hvae to check to see if the app you want to use supports TV out. No iPod morros the iPod's screen.

Connecting new iPod 80G to tv using A/V cables

I am hooking up the cable correctly and using the right settings but my iPod keeps telling me to hook it up to an output device. Do I have to use something different with the newer iPod version?

Just so that I am clear...
With the new iPods that can send video to a TV, I need to buy an Apple cable?
My story is that I got a $50 gift from my employer and purchased a "Monster iTV Link for iPod" so that I could display my pictures on my parents TV when I'm home in a week. What my iPod Classic (and also my wife's iPod Nano - both new) show on the iPod screen when I try to play any video is:
TV Out Enabled
Please Connect Video Accessory
I can still return the Monster, but I don't believe I'll get $50 back but rather a store credit. If the problem is with my particular cable, I'll have them send me a new one. Otherwise I'll need to settle with the store credit.

Connecting new iPod to Windows XP

I just got my iPod nano today. I used to have an iPod mini, so I already have iTunes filled with music. I plugged in the nano and opened iTunes and a box popped up saying I needed to download the latest iTunes, so I did. I restarted my computer, pulled up iTunes again but the same box popped up. I don't know if it's supposed to, but iTunes never looks or seems any different when I update it than it did 3 years ago when I first downloaded it. Maybe there's a step I'm missing? Anyway, if anyone knows how get my iPod to show up on the computer, that would be helpful. Thanks.

Assuming you're using Windows, the current version of iTunes is 7.5.
Click on the "Help" tab, and select "about iTunes". It will tell you which version of iTunes is currently residing on your computer.
If it is not 7.5, then you will need to update your software.
(A thought that may be important. Start iTunes from your "Start" menu rather than the task bar. Sometimes an old icon stays on the task bar, but it doesn't connect to the new version of the program.)
If you're running iTunes 7.5, then shut down your computer, disconnect your iPod, and restart the computer. Once it is started, start iTunes, then connect your iPod once more.
This SHOULD start the process of recognizing your iPod. If not, we'll need to know if Windows recognizes that new hardware has been connected. You may have a bum USB port or other issues.

Connecting new iPod Classic, old PB G4 without USB2.0

This may be an old question at this point, but I just recieved a new iPod Classic and wish to connect it to my PB G4 through a connection faster than USB1. What is the most reliable high speed connection available? Powered PCMCIA USB2.0 card? Firewire to USB2.0 converter? Run it off the USB2.0 jack on my FW800 external drive? SOL? USB1 currently works, albeit, as many have noted, at Mac II speeds; old PB still going strong, meets all other needs, so would rather spend the $ on music. Your thoughts?

It should work but it will be slow.
USB 2.0 is 60 times faster than USB 1.1.
PCMCIA USB2.0 card?
Should workl okay.
Firewire to USB2.0 converter?
No such thing.
Run it off the USB2.0 jack on my FW800 external drive?
No, because it won't convert the FW from the computer to USB out of the drive.

Connecting new iPod Touch to stereo or car using 1/8" auxiliary cable

I am having troubles connecting my new iPod Touch to my stereo and car using a 1/8" auxiliary cable. I plugged the cable into the headphone port on the iPod Touch (just as I always do with my iPod nano) and no sound comes out. The headphone port works fine when I have my earbuds plugged in. I have tried two different cables that both worked with other devices (a nano and a XM radio). Am I missing something? Is there a special cable that I should be using?
Appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks!

I feel really stupid now...I didn't realize the volume had to be ALL the way up! Thanks.

Connecting New Ipod Touch to PC

I keep trying to connect my new ipod touch to my PC and it keep getting a dialog box that tells me Apple Ipod on top and then in the box it says Camera Connected. It then gives me an option to launch the program using Microsoft scanner and camera wizard or Microsoft Word. The device is charging but in "My Computer" it is listed under Scanners and Cameras as Apple Ipod #2 with a camera icon. Does anybody know how to resolve this. It is not recognizing the ipod in itunes

Connecting new iPod

I have a 4th generation iPod and I'm considering the purchase of the new 5th generation one. Theoretically, once I buy the new one and hook it up to my iTunes should all of my songs transfer with ease? I remember there being some sort of procedure involving registering the iPod, giving it a name etc... Can all of my songs and details from my present iTunes go directly to this new iPod, or is there some sort of procedure to follow with respect to a new iPod and current iTunes? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you have the latest version of ITunes installed. Just connect the IPOD and follow the prompts. If you choose to "Auto Update" all content will be transferred if enough space is available.

Be patient if you have lots of files and connecting new iPod

Having iTunes lockup after you connect your new iPod? Do you have lots of audio files (in the thousands)? Well read on if this sounds like you.
Just had to post this as I didn't see anything at all about it and it would have been REALLY helpfull to know before hand. I have about 8000 songs on my computer (all from my CD's or purchased iTunes). Well I finally decided to get me a nice new iPod as it would make life a little better. I got home connected it then my system pretty much locked up, or seemed to. The performance meters went up to 80-90% and computer wouldn't respond. iTunes totally crashed with no display or warning or anything. I went into task manager and killed it. The moment I did that the computer shut down and restarted. When it came up I tried again, but this time when I started iTunes I got "Windows - No disk inserted" faults like crazy.
I eventually just left it and went outside for a break as I am pretty much going to return iPod to store at this point. After about 15 mins I come back to computer and all is ok and now I see the iTunes is transferring files. All without asking me anything, almost sounds like a microsoft trick except this is all apple's doing, that isn't going to make me buy a mac anytime soon if that is the direction they are heading in.
Anyway after my very long winded soap box, the main point is if you plut it in and have lots of songs be very very patient because it will download the songs to your iPod and there is no way to stop it that I saw.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. It is likley that they will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

Connecting new IPOD touch to a car (USB)

Hi Guys,
Saw the issues over the popping issue, However I cannot even get my car to recognise my device? . My old IPOD worked fine plug & play . I thought the same would be for this . I have attempted to use the USB in my car ( Mecredes ) and it reads cannot recognise device.
help please
Dave

What iOS was on the old iPod? If not iOS 6 it could be that the IOS update broke compatibility.
Have you reset the car system?
Does Mecredes say it is compatible with the new iPod/iOS 6?
Have you looked at their support site?
