IPod Movie and Firewire

Does anyone know if it is OK to use an old firewire cable to connect the new iPod Movie with a Mac? I do not have USB 2 on my machine and am not real excited about the idea of having to move over 20 Gigs of data to my new iPod through a USB 1 cable; but, I don't want to plug it into a firewire cable if it's going to fry my device.

I just ordered the new video iPod (60gb). I specifically asked the Apple sales rep who sold it to me if I could sync with firewire instead of USB, since I have the last iBook made with USB 1.1. He went and checked with his supervisor and assured me that there would no problem, new iPod will sync with firewere. So if you guys are correct that it WON'T sync with FW, I will be really dissaponted and send the thing back. How can I upgrade to a better device and be forced to accept a slower connection? Lame.
Any further confirmation on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

  • IPod Touch and Firewire

    Can the iPod Touch sync using a firewire cable? I have one I use with my iPod Mini and wanted to know if it would work with the Touch.

    Thanks. I am a bit disappointed by this. I really liked the transfer speed using Firewire instead of usb.

  • My iPod movies and videos are n my music folder. PLS HELP ME!!!!!!

    When i go to view my movies and tv shows theres nothing there. they are all under my music folder under my songs lists and artist list. And instead of my movies being under their respected folders, my artist lists are there. Can someone pls help me with this problem.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup.

  • Ipod movies and imovie

    I have made dvd's in the past (2003etc) with imovie that I would like to download on my ipod. The movies are only on dvd's so the ? beomes, How does one take take DVD's and render a form that IPOD's will accept? I have tried one suggestion of "importing" into Imovie, and went so far to try to get Itunes to do the same, but in both cases the dvd does not appear in the "import" menu. Will quicktime convert this format? Before I start spending $ on programs, has anyone ever done this?

    If DanK's reply is too cryptic:

    Or if you would rather pay the $$ and not have to read anything, buy DVDRemaster. It is a wonderful piece of software designed specifically for what you are asking to do.

    No, you can't. iPods haven't supported firewire for syncing for several years now.

  • Is there any way to NOT have iTunes/iPod movies show up under Movies in FR?

    I only want the movies in my Movie folder to show up in Front Row. Right now the movies in thr Movie folder are relegated to the bottom, after a long list of the mpeg4 files that I have in iTunes. These are lower res. movies to watch on my small iPod screen, whereas the higher res movies in my Movie folder are for watching on my large monitor. Is there a way to eliminate the list of iTunes mpeg4 movies from the Front Row menus (or at least combining them into one folder)?

    Hi Marty J. I tried what you said, but all my iTunes Movies still form a longlist at the beginning of Front Row's Movie selection.
    Incidentally, unless I misunderstood you, you can't "change" the "Show" box to anything. All I could do was to type "iPod Movies" into the "Show" box. Afterwards, FR shows no category called "iPod Movies" and all of my iPod movies still create a long list before I finally reach the movies of my "Movie" folder (i.e., Users>username>Movies). I want the contents of the Users>username>Movies folder to show up at the top of the list in Front Row. I don't want to have to scroll all the way thru 60+ iPod movies before I get to this folder's contents. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

  • Itunes / ipod/ movies

    I just got a ipod, (yes, i updated my software 3.5 weeks ago) , so my ipod set up went ok. Then I made a photo imovie then did share to ipod , it did the compressing opened itunes, then nothing.
    I after many hrs called apple , well a first for me, no luck and they didnt know why. But I decided to see if even the movie sync even works in itunes. So I broke down and bought a movie from itunes, it down loaded fine. So in my ipod i set it up to sync and add the movie, nope, I keep getting the unknown -50 error code.
    Ive been a faithful apple user since1983, and Im very disappointed, the only help they gave me was to redo the update, he admitted there were a few probelms from the first update I did in july. I didnt update quicktime, because it said something about losing the pro version and possibly havig to buy quicktime .
    Can someone help me PLEASE.
    This has been 24 hrs of total stress.
    Thankyou
    Pamela

  • I have bought some movies and the don't sync to my iPod touch it comes up with this message that says it cannot be played on my iPod. Please can someone help

    I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
    Does anyone know what is wrong?

    Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video.  You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch.  See here for more information:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

    Have you tried transfering the movie by:

    Does it play on the iPod?
    It is a purchased move and not a rental right?  If you rent a movie on the 4G iPod you can't transfer it to a computer.

  • Itunes 7.1 deleted all movies and tv shows from ipod!

    Just updated Itunes to 7.1 - and found out too late that both movies and tv shows were suddenly unchecked for the sync. I've always had them on auto sync before this and did not change any settings.
    So when I synched for the first time with 7.1, I lost my 20gb of videos from the ipod (60gb). Extremely annoying.
    They're still in the library but it will take hours to get them back to the ipod.
    Anybody else got this? Is this a bug on 7.1 or did I just do something wrong?
