Error message: "FireWire connections are not supported.  To transfer songs"

I recently purchased a Monster iCarPlay to play my ipod in my car. I have had no problems until recently. Upon disconnecting my ipod from the iCarPlay wire, I the following message popped up: "FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided." It also prompts me to click the center button to dismiss the message. However, I'vd followed these instructions, and the message does not go away. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this problem? Or is it anything to worry about?

That is the message you see when you attach a 5th gen iPod to a computer using FIREWIRE. so... i suspect that for some reason, the 3rd party iCarPlay device must be confusing the iPod into thinking it is being docked or attached to a data line of some type and not simply charging.
As for the sudden occurrence of the message, it does seem strange however, keep in mind that you are using a 3rd party device that may not be supported or endorsed by Apple at all.

  • Firwirer connections are not supported?

    My ipod reads "firewire connections are not supported. To transfer songs connect the USB cable provided."
    I tried to copy a CD to my ipod. It was a copy of a CD from a friend from his ipod whch I guess is not compatable with mine. He ahs a PC. I have a mac. He ahs an old 60g ipod I have a new ipod culor 30 gb. My guess is that he has firwire connections and I have USB
    I now cant turn off the ipod. I can play it but the battery goes very quickly.
    It constantly reads the above message i.e firewire connected are not supported/
    I HAVE RESTORED FACTORY SETTINGS AND DELTED THE CD FROM MY ITUNES. WHAT can I do?

    Firewire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided.
    That is the same message I'm receiving on my iPod as of yesterday. We've been on vacation for a week and the iPod has worked flawlessly, just like it has since the day I got it. That is, until yesterday.
    We were driving down the freeway when it started pausing, skipping, and generally giving me grief. I listen to it in the van via a connection through the cassette tape player. I've been using this set up since the day I got my 80gb video iPod.
    For whatever reason, that message simply started popping up. I can't seem to get the center button trick to work most of the time, but occasionally it will. No matter what I do, I can't turn off my iPod any longer. It has to simply go to sleep.
    So, I got home and the first order of business was using the option in iTunes to wipe the iPod clean, reset it to factory defaults, then reload all 60gbs worth of data onto it. I did that. I play around with it a bit this morning, but with nothing connected to it. It seemed to work fine and would turn off as normal.
    I connected it to the cassette adapter a short while ago, got about 2 miles down the road, now its doing the same thing again. Its giving the same error message, skipping/pausing, and won't allow me to turn it off.
    Help?

  • I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Firewire connection is not supported. Use USB to transfer songs...

    Got message on my ipod saying "Firewire connection is not supported. Use USB to transfer songs" and then it says "Press Center to dismiss"
    Restarted the ipod no use!
    Connected with my PC no use! (its just charging) does not update of hooked to itunes)
    Any ideas how i can fix this??
    P.S I have tried cleaning the docking and the cable for any dirt still no use!

    Does it give you this error all the time or only when plugged in with the cable?
    If it does it all the time, have you checked the dock connector for bent pins?
    If it only does it when plugged in, have you tried a different cable?

  • Upload Error message: HTTPS protocol is not supported

    Hi,
       Whenever I do a quick par upload i'm getting an 'Operation failed' message to check sap-plugin.log.
       Log says
    Upload Error message: HTTPS protocol is not supported, please ensure this server is not using HTTPS. My webdynpro applications are getting deployed without any issues.
         How to resolve this?
    Thanks
    Sumathi

    Hi Sumathi,
    As there are often problems with the Quick PAR Upload reported, I would suggest to use the "normal" PAR upload from the icon tray (you have to activate the portal icons in the icon tray). That is almost that "quick" (one or two clicks more needed, we don't talk about more than a second) and - it works (it least it should, and at least it works in most cases even if the Quick PAR Upload fails).
    Hope it helps

  • I purchased Elements 13.  When I tried to install I get the error message that it is not supported by Vista.  Now what do I do?

    I purchased Elements 13.  When I tried to install it I get the error message that it is not supported by Vista.  What do I do now?

    If you can't install Windows 7 or higher or get a new computer with Windows 7 or higher, you won't be able to run Photoshop Elements 13.
    There are many inexpensive refurbished or "off lease" computers available at very reasonable cost.  Here is one example (scroll down):

  • I have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this?

    i have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

  • Error message: this computer is not supported by the system recovery media.

    I replaced a bad samasung hard drive in my Pavilion dv6z 3200 with a Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 32 MB Cache 2.5 Inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ST750LX003 and when trying to restore Windows 7 64 bit OS get the error message "this computer is not supported by the system recovery media"

    Is the new hdd at least as large a capacity as the original? Can be larger capacity, but sometimes smaller will cause error.
    Enter BIOS by tapping F10 key. Is all system info intact/complete?

  • New preview function for iPad–error message "Multiple page sizes not supported"

    When I try to use the new preview function with my iPad I get the error message "Multiple page sizes within a layout are not supported". I have a page that is 768 x  1296. I would really like to preview this folio before publishing. Any suggestions?

    If you're trying to create an article that scrolls vertically, you can create a 768x1296 article in a 1024x768 folio, but you need to select a Smooth Scrolling option when you create or import the article, or in the Article Properties dialog box.
