Ipod 20g with only a firewire connector

does anyone know how to connect an ipod to a PC with only a USB port when the ipod does not have a dock connector ?
Where can I get an adapter ?
HELP!

You'll need to purchase a PCI Firewire card for your PC. For further information and perhaps suggestions on what card to buy, check out the appropriate iPod forum, where you'll be far more likely to get a quick and accurate response (this forum is for pre-PowerMac G3 hardware).
Good luck.

Find my lost ipod touch with only his serial number

how ti find my lost ipod touch with only it serial number?

No, the SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

Capturing Video on New iMac with only 1 FireWire Port

Using one of the new Apple iMacs, what is the best way to capture digital video footage (Mini DV) into Final Cut using an external drive as your scratch disk? The iMac offers only one FireWire 800 port. Is it advisable to connect the camcorder to the FireWire port and use a USB 2.0 to connect the external drive? Or can you connect the drive via FireWire 800 and connect the output of the camcorder to one of the other Fireiwre ports on the drive? In this instance I am using a Lacie Rugged Hard Disk that has one FireWire 800, one FireWire 400, and one USB 2.0 port.

They often do not play well with other firewire devices on the same bus. And since all the firewire ports on a Mac are on the same bus, it can lead to incompatibilities during capture. On some computers they work fine, on others they collide.
Try it and see if it works for you. If it does, be happy. If it doesn't, you'll have to do the external drive/camera shuffle.
It goes like this:
• turn off the computer and all connected devices,
• disconnect the external drive
• connect the camera using a FW800 to FW400 cable
• turn on the camera
• turn on the computer
• launch FCP, set the capture scratch folder to the system drive then capture
• shut down the computer and the camera
• disconnect the camera and connect the external drive
• turn on the drive
• turn on the computer
• launch finder and move the captured files from the system drive to the external
• launch FCP and reset the capture scratch folder to the external drive
• open your project and reconnect the media.
Or, use a different (non-Canon) capture device.
Or, get a computer that has multiple internal drives or has expansion capabilites so you can add a firewire card to create a second independent firewire bus for the camera.
Good luck,

Capturing media on a laptop with only one firewire input

So, this question may or may not belong here: I have a MacBook Pro with its single Firewire port. I have an external firewire drive for my scratch disk. But how do I capture media from my tape-based Canon HV40 onto the external disk with only the one firewire port? Is there such a thing as a firewire Y-adapter (i.e. two into one) or is that even possible? I'm thinking I may have to capture one tape onto the laptop's drive, then disconnect the camera, connect the external drive, drag the files there, and finally, after all is done, let Final Cut know that the scratch disk has been changed and the media is not on the laptop drive any longer but on the external firewire drive. Suggestions welcome, please.

I realize that the slower device on a daisychain will mean that the fastest speed is limited by the speed of the slowest device
My understanding is the speed of the bus will be restricted if you have the SLOWER of the two devices connected directly to the computer. If it is: FW400>FW800>Computer, each device should connect at their normal speed.
In any case, count yourself among the lucky as Canon cams often will not work when connected on the same firewire bus with other devices.

Charging iPod touch with old AC-Firewire adapter?

Hello,
I just recently bought an iPod touch, and wanted to know if it will work to charge it with the AC-Firewire adapter from my 2nd gen iPod. I also have the car charger for the 2nd gen. There are posts about doing it with an AC-usb adapter, but I didn't find anything about Firewire.
If no one knows, will it hurt to try it? I just don't want to screw up my new one. Thanks for the help.

Charging the iPod touch with FireWire is not possible.
Plugging it in won't hurt it but it will pop up a message saying that it will not charge.

I have a Ipod nano with only 128 songs (6mb) with no videos or anything but 128 songs..the ipod summary says i have 3.02GB of "other"...what is this "other" stuff and how can i get rid of it so i can have more songs on my ipod?!

..

The Other section on your iPod consists of a number of different things, including album artwork, your iPod's software, files you may be storing externally on it, games, and a few other things. However, it can usually include corrupt files from failed sync operations with iTunes. Usually the Other section should only be a small fraction of what's stored on your iPod, usually less than 1 GB.
So it sounds like your iPod may be corrupt, in which case you'll need to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

Ipod full with only 65 songs!!!

My recently purchased 4gb Nano Ipod has only 65 songs on it yet the settings say it has used 3.6 gb and only has 600 mb left. It has no fotos or movies. I thought I could get 2,000 songs with no problem.
I use Final cut to edit movies and this recommends that Itunes imports music at 48,000khz ,16 bit and as an AIFF. Could this be bumping up the music file sizes? Any help appreciated

To reach the advertised 2000 songs for a 4 GB iPod, Apple suggests tat your songs be in AAC encoding, bit rate of 128 kbps, and approximately 4-minutes long each.
If you connect your iPod to your computer, and open iTunes, click on your iPod in the Source List (the left panel of iTunes).
Then, click on your iPod's "Music" (not your "Library's" music, but your iPod's). Right-click any song, and click on "Get Info".
Under the "Summary" tab, you should see the information about that song, including format, bit rate, what version of iTunes is was imported from, song length.
If that doesn't seem to be the case, and the "Other" section on your iPod's "Summary" area has an unusual amount of size in it, try restoring your iPod.

3g ipod (dock connector)

@ b noir
after reformatting on a mac, i did manage to get back to pc, after a few more blue screens i reinstalled itunes 4.0.1 from the original cd
and started reformatting for windows,
while still in the process of formatting, i got the blue screen again, but.. i didn't write down the numbers...since i hadn't read your post yet...
anyway...
i hooked it up and itunes recognized it...i could copy a few songs to the ipod...without a blue screen...
i decided to reinstall itunes 7.0.1.8 ... restored my original library...
connected the ipod... copied one, then two , then a hundred songs to the ipod... seems to be working fine now...
if you ask me...
there is a spot on the hd wich is damaged, and as long as the ipod doesn't use that spot nothing happens...
since i didn't upgrade any firmware that could've chaged something
(it was 2.3 and still is after all the restoring, reformatting, switching to macformatted and back...)
also after upgrading to 7.0.1.8 the ipod worked a few days before starting to get 'blue screenish'....
tnx for trying to help anyway

8gb iPod touch with only 6.38gb capacity?

Is there a difference between my iPod being 8gb and it only having a Capacity of 6.38? Because in my mind i thought if its a *gb iPod then the capicity would be at 8 also. Please correct me if im wrong i just want to understand.

The difference is mainly due to the IOS itself taking up the difference. The iOS needs storage space and thus is not then available to the user. Also, the difference is due to how GB is advertised and used. See:
How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity

IPod Frozen with Only Apple Icon Showing

My third generation iPod completely froze today. The screen displays only the Apple icon, whether the iPod is connectied to nothing, to the charger through the dock, or to the computer. When it is connected to the computer, the iPod is not recognized -- it's icon does not show on the Desktop nor does it appear in the Source column of iTunes.
I've tried all the usual troubleshooting stetps, resetting, cycling the Hold switch then resetting, doing a ceremonial dance around the thing, etc., all to no avail. Any suggestions from anyone who might have had the same experience?

FM2-A85XA-G65 with only 4 pin PWR connector inserted?

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 has 8pin PWR connector on the board, but my PSU only provides a 4pin one.
Will this MOBO be fully functional with only 4pin PWR connector inserted or not?
Thank you.

Using an 4 pin PWR connector instead of an eight pin works (as said before) if psu is powerful enough for the system. If SS-400 is depends on your system (which surely does not consist of just a mainboard.

Ipod Photo with frozen mousewheel

My I was just listening to my music on my Ipod Photo.
I wanted to turn it of and turned the hold button off and held the play/pause button. When it didnt turn off, i tried a simple reset to see if that would help. by then i noticed my mousewheel didnt respond at all.
When i was back home i restored it to the factory settings and so on... i tried everything multiple times, but my mousewheel still doesnt respond. I find this trange cause before the problem, my ipod worked nearly perfectly.
Since i live in holland i cant find any other repair service then apple itself. i'm skilled enough to change the battery and hard disk myself if needed, but i dont know anything about the rest.
can anyone help me with this problem?

hi jenny,
no problem at all. Just hook it up and name it. Should be no problem with the one firewire connector. i have both an iPod and shuffle hook up at the same time. itunes shows them both in the source column.

Doubt with JPW1 (+12v 4pin) Connector on MSI p6n sli

Hi, i've one question, i've this psu:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339001&Tpk=hec%2borion
It's Type ATX12V 2.01, so it's have the Main Connector 20+4Pin and only one conccetor of +12v of 4 pin.
And this motherboard need 2 +12v 4 pin connectors. On the manual, that connectors are calledd JPW1.
Know, my question is, Did the motherboard will run with only one 4pin connector?
I've this components:
MSI 7900GS 450-1320 @ 700-1680
E2140 @ 3GHZ (I want more than that, 3.2ghz at least )
2x1gb OCZ @ 900 4-3-3-8-2t
1x 160gb Sata2
1x DVDrw
And probabaly on 4-6 months one dualcore or maybe quad 45nm processor.
With the actual configurartion, could i'make high Overclock on the proccesor without any problems ?
Thanks
And here a picture, how you can see, only one 4pin connector, not two:

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 22-February-08, 20:55:03
The reason to use 8-Pins instead of 4 is not to provide more power to the CPU, but to double the current carrying capacity of the the connection. This reduces heat generation as the same current will be carried by twice the number of pins. The effect is that the risk of overheating/melting of the connector is reduced. Basically, it is a safety measure.
The bottom line is, that the chance that your connector will melt is not very significant (even with a Quad Core processor). Unless you plan to overclock the hell out of that CPU in a poorly cooled case, you shouldn't have to worry about four more pins.
REALLY THANKS!!! and thanks for answer so fast
Now, i dont have any doubt with the motherboard and the psu. Now i cant overclock without fear.
I've a TT bigtyp lapped, more AS Ceramique, and the case its good cooled, so it wont be a problem.
REALLY THANKS JACK

Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

Nope, I'm sorry. iOS/iTunes only (you need a connection to your network, and the iPod classic doesn't have network capabilities).

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
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
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.
