IPod says "FireWire not supported" when connecting with a USB cable

Hello all. First post ever. I am trying to connect my Nano (1 gig) to my Windows Vista. (This use to work flawlessly) Whenever I try to connect my iPod to my computer via a USB cable, it says "FireWire connections are not supported please use USB cable provided blah blah..." It is strange because I have never used anything but a USB cable with my iPod. I've tried everything, resetting via Menu + select, putting it in Disk mode. Seperate PC's including an XP PC. Anyone ever had this happen to them? Please help!!
Thank you,
Ben Roughan

This message appears to be a hardware issue, and cannot be fixed; the iPod likely needs to be replaced.

  • HT3887 why does my iPhone say device not supported when connecting to my make even after it has successfully paired?

    why does my iphone say device not supported when connecting to my mac pro, even though it has already succesfuly paired? I also use a wirless bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the computer successfully.
    Also when I turn Bluetooth on on the phone the devices cog never stops turning (forever serching for a device)

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
    It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
    This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth.

  • I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher).  Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable.  Would prefer a laser, color, all in

    I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher).  Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable.  Would prefer a laser, color, all in one.  Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?

    Great information.

  • My Ipod says version not supported when attaching to my Honda

    I just purchased a Honda Insight and hooked my iPod up to the USB port and it was working fine.  I brought my ipod inside and hooked it up to my macbook added several songs and may have upgraded the software.  Now when I hook it up to the USB in the Honda it says version not supported.  Is this an iPod issue or is this something that I need to address with Honda.
    Thanks,

    What iPod firmware version does the Honda say it will support on the iPod?

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments

    Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
    Go to System Preferences.
    Click on "Print & Fax"
    Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
    A button appears that says "open scanner"
    The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with.

  • Sony pj650 says accessories not supported when trying to use Sony ecm-gz1m gun/zoom microphone.

    The sony ecm-gz1m says it is compatible with cameras that have the multi interface shoe but when I plug it in it says accessories not supported.

    Hi duszac,
    Welcome to the Sony Community!
    The ECM-GZ1M microphone is indeed compatible with the HDRPJ650V camera. But the Zoom mode is not going to work. Please detach the microphone from the camera, check the setting of your mic, and change it Gun mode before reattaching it again. We recommend attaching the accessories while the camera is turned off.

  • My Nokia X6 says - "accessory not supported" whene...

    My Nokia X6 says - "accessory not supported" whenever i insert my earphones (Came with its box!)
    They used to work fine before! I just listened to some songs an hour ago!
    One more change is that there was an icon by the side of battery indicator (looked like an arrow coming out of a box from above) which is not there anymore!
    Any help? I tried restoring default setting but got nothing.

    there is no virus try hard reset back up your data
    Switch-off the phone (Remove the battery and re-insert it, if necessary). Now Press and HOLD the GREEN (Call) key, RED (Call end) key and the Camera-capture key SIMULTANEOUSLY. While still pressing the above three keys press the power On/Off key, hold them until phone boots up.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Ipod says no music but when connected to computer shows music

    ipod says no music, but when hooked to mac shows music and playlists

    In the Mac iTunes, you may be looking at the iTunes library, click the iPod iCon in the device pane, and look at the summary page, it will tell you what is shown in the iPod.
    The Capacity  section will report Audio, and Other (which in your case may contain your music) due to filesystem coruuption.
    Have a nice day!

  • HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

    I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
    Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

    Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
    It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
    Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
    Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.
