IPod Camera Connector won't work with iPod Classic 80GB?

I am trying to connect my iPod Classic (80GB) to my Canon 40D camera--to upload my images directly from camera to iPod. When I try, I get a message saying "Accessory is not supported." My local Apple store genius said that the iPod connectors only work with older iPods. I find it hard to believe that they'd eliminate such an important capacity on a newer version. Is he right? Or is there a way I can make it work?

I have sent Apple feedback a couple times in the past few years asking for the camera connector to come back and work with the ipod touch. The more people ask, the better.
Is it true that the new version of the SDK will allow apps to access the USB interface of the ipod touch? If that happens, then maybe some third party company can make something similar.

    There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
    Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

  • Apple iPod Camera Connector(how it works?)

    Does the Apple iPod Camera Connector just convert a USB to a apple dock connector? Can the same be achieved by using the USB cable and a USB Female-Female adaptor?

    It is the camera's transfer protocol/how the camera transfers the images.
    See this for more info...

    the camera connection will not work with my I pad

    You don't provide enough info to answer your question. Are you trying to import from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive.

  • IPod Nano 4G won't work with my car stereo

    So I bought a new stereo for my car and it has a built in controls for an iPod and a dedicated wire for my iPod to directly connect to the stereo. I placed this wire in the glove box. Now the stereo was installed fine, everything works except for my iPod Nano 4G. I can successfully plug my iPhone into the connector and I'll be able to use my stereo to control my iPhone while it is in the glove box but for some reason there is a read error when attempting to talk to my 4G nano and I don't know what to do... Very bothersome....

    called up crutchfield they said I would have to downgrade the software on my Nano to 1.0 and not the 1.0.2 that is currently installed, except I don't recall there being a software update that came out. Not to mention that I don't know where to get a hold of the 1.0.0 software....
    any help would be awesome

  • Ipod Touch STILL won't work with Windows 64-bit

    Argh!
    So, I've read the entries about the new Itunes 7.6, and how it should work with my Ipod Touch.
    I uninstalled all my previous Itunes, and Quicktime software. I then installed the new Itunes64.exe. Everything worked fine.
    But then, I connected by Itouch and it says "This Ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, the install the 64-bit version of Itunes."
    I'm confused what the problem is. I just DID that!?! What do I need to do differently? Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I’ve got the new version of Itunes (7.6.1) but I still get the error where it tells me to download and install a 64-bit version of Itunes. This is just ridiculous!!! I bought my IPOD touch before Christmas and i still haven’t been able to use it!
    I've uninstalled and installed itunes and all that rubbish about 5-6 times now, i've deleted everything to do with Apple from my machine and also nearly killed my machine because i messed around with the registry (that's my fault :P)
    NOTE: I used IE 64-bit version to download the installer.
    Anyone have a solution to the problem?

  • HT4101 Camera connector kit not working with ipad3. Not at all able to see any photo . Have tried both the USB connector directly with camera and thru card reader. Tried by copying photos to DCIM folder also.

    Got a iPad camera connector kit. It is not working as expected. It is not able to read any photos. Both the USB connector and sd card reader arenot showing any photos on iPad. Tried copying all photos directly in DCIM folder. Still no result.
    Any other setting needs to be changed?

    Hey, thanks for your updates.
    The photos are 8 character long and extension is .jpg
    The file names are 8 characters long with 3 as alphapet followed by an "_" and then 4 numbers.
    Initially the photos were in a folder inside DCIM folder. I manually copied them to DCIM folder, still no result.
    Can you advice.

  • My  Samsung Sync Master 225UW's camera (webcam) won't work with my Mac mini

    Hi,
    I need help making my monitor's webcam work with my Mac mini. I have Mac OS X 10.5. When the computer launches the screen turns on, everything's perfect but the webcam will not turn on when I launch Photo Booth or iChat....what should I do?

    That camera doesn't work with my mac either (I'm using it right now with a g4 powerbook, but will try again with my new power mac coming in... though I doubt it will make a difference)
    The 225UW is specially made for Windows Vista, and I wonder if it needs a mac driver for the camera or something. We may be S.O.L. I knew that was a possibility when I ordered this monitor. Oh well... pay yer money... take yer chances.

  • Camera Connector doesn't work with Nikon DSLR?

    I just got the camera connector, and when I connect it to my Nikon D5200 to directly download photos to my iPhone 5, it tells me my Nikon isn't supported.  If it's just reading an SD card, I don't see how this should be an issue.  Am I just missing the right software?  Is it different if I use an iPad instead?
    We're travelling in a few days, and I was hoping to just bring my camera and phone and not have to cart a laptop around to upload photos to the web.
    Many thanks!

    The camera connector is not for the iphone at all.
    It is for the ipad.

  • ITunes won't work with iPod despite several attempts

    Hello everybody
    I have a tricky problem with iTunes. I have used it and iPod nano for couple of years flawlessy, but now iTunes 8.2.1 throws a following error message (when connecting iPod to usb-port):
    "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly."
    "Please reinstall iTunes."
    Then I surfed to Apple-homesite and did as two support article said:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano/
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
    But the same problem still bothers. I have tried even with older iTunes (6 and 7), but same error appears. Could my iPod be broken? It is weird, that Windows XP will found iPod normally and shows it as removable harddisk in My Computer.
    The iPod is out of warranty (due to it age), so I quess Apple won't care about problems anymore.

    Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

  • Apple iPod Camera Connector

    Hi,
    I just wonder if Apple iPod Camera Connector will be compatible with iPod 3th Generation. Apple website doesn’t say it will but I am trying to send pictures to my iPod only, not to watch them later on color display like on 4th Generation iPods.
    Any comments welcome.
    Peter

    It won't as it requires the iPod Photo software v1.1 to work. You'll have to buy one of the two possible Belkin solutions. One has a USB port (like the Apple one) and the other has a card reader option.

  • Canon EOS 300d with iPod Camera Connector

    Hey folks,
    I don't have a problem with this combination but just want to say, that it's working perfectly together! I've searched for a thread like this before but didn't found any, so I took my currage and bought the Camera Connector without being sure it will work with my Canon EOS 300d. Today I tested it and it works perfect from the first moment. Just plug into the iPod and the camera and it prompts directly the import screen on the iPod. Importing itself also works good, but due to the USB 1.1 port on the camera it's a little slow. There are time measurements on other threads dealing with the connector, but for me the time is secondary, aslong as I don't have to carry my PowerBook around to get the fotos from my camera. BTW: That's not faster!
    So for all of you out there using a Canon EOS 300d don't hesitate to get the Camera Connector - with the latest firm- and software on your devices there should be no problem!

    Is it possible to connect a Canon EOS 300D via iPod
    camera connector to a 5th generation iPod?
    The EOS 300D isn't listed in the compatibility list,
    but i'm sure the camera supports the protocols.
    Any experiences?
    Thanks, Krycek
    /edit: I recognized the thread before, but I like ro
    hear more experiences.
    i, use it and works but is very slow....
