Ipod video and USB 1.0...

I purchased a 60Gb Ipod as a gift and I have come to find out that my daughter's IMac has USB 1.0. Can she use it? An Apple store person said she would have to buy a new computer. The tech specs on the Apple site say 2.0 Recommended but it does not say 1.0 is not supported. does anybody kmow any thing about this?

I'm sure it's slower than it would be on USB
2
Yes, 40 times slower.
30GB=~5.5hours (USB 1.1) vs. ~12 minutes (USB 2.0).
Ah, but if you've never had USB 2, the slower speed of USB 1.1 isn't so obvious. My main point was that my iPod does charge via 1.1. But thanks for the specifics -- I'm thinking I'd better start saving my pennies for a newer machine. <G>

Ipod Video and USB 2.0 with not enough power

Hi all,
Ok, post number 2 for me. I have noticed another thing in the Ipod Video 30 gig that really has me wondering what is going on. I tested this out in various systems, being the analytical sort, and it seems to be that case. As long as there is enough power in the USB port to accomodate the Ipod, things are fine. Life is good.
But if there is not, even if you are compatible, in Windows, then things will be bad. First of all, your Ipod will freeze. That is bad. The second thing is that your Ipod will not come up as an Ipod in Windows, but will be a generic USD device drive. pretty awful.
So you have to reset the Ipod, and make sure that your USB port has enough power dedicated to it for the Ipod to be plugged into it. How much power is this baby sucking up anyways? On my machine at work, if I plug it in, and it only has a keyboard and mouse on it, it will not work. What is that?
Any help is much appreciated:>
Thanks

You may have noticed that as a Windows user you get little to no response in this forum to questions. Wrong side of the tracks you know.
Anyway, I have found the same issues. I surmise that the real issue is that IPods are designed to be used with a MAC. There are of course literally tens of millions of Windows users out there so Apple was obliged for business reasons to accomodate them. The power issue is just one of the many problems Windows users have. Most non-hub and non-keyboard USBs will have enough power. Not all but most.
Keep in mind that I think MACs ROCK!! I would have had one if they were compatable with the machines already in my office. The IPod it great. The issues can be worked around.

Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Managing content manually on iPod

I have an ipod video and I want to get a shuffle too on same pc....

I have an ipod video, and i want to get an ipod shuffle, but do not know if that will cause some type of confusion with itunes. I tried hooking up my girlfriend's ipod to my laptop and I couldn't drag any songs to her ipod. Will I have this same issue with the shuffle?

- Do you have to right boxes checked in the Tones pane of iTunes for the iPod to get them synced to the iPod:
- Were the tones purchased with the same account as all the other media on the iPod?

Using iPod Video as USB hard disk

Can someone advise me how to use the iPod Video as USB hard disk without affecting my data in iPod player. Thanks!

You just need to enable your iPod for disk use, this will not affect whatever else you have on your iPod. This page may be of some help: Using your iPod as a storage drive
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod enabled for disk use is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

890FXA-GD65 Video and USB Failure

Hey guys,
After about an hour or two of gaming, my PC loses its video and USB signal, and the power buttons do not work on the case, yet everything internally is still running (all my fans, video card fan, processor heatsink fan). The row of LED indicator lights at the top of the motherboard only displays two bars AFTER I lose signal. At first I figured it was just my video card overheating, but nothing is excessively hot to the touch, and alt-tabbing while gaming to check my AMD Vision Control Center has my video card running at about 70-75*C while in use, and about 48*C idle. Also, if overheating was the culprit, that wouldn't explain my USB devices failing either would it? And twice my PC has completely shut down on me mid-game. I noticed someone else had this problem (the video/usb portion at least), but the culprit seemed to be his ram was 1600, mine is only 1333. And I have never tweaked anything in my BIOS nor have I overclocked my video card. Any suggestions?
MSI 890FXA-GD65
AMD Phenom II X4 970
Thermaltake 650W PSU
Corsair 2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz (CMX8GX3M2A1333C9)
XFX 6850 Black
WD 750GB Caviar Black HDD

Temp. is fine for the graphics card. About the PSU "650 Watt" tells us very little, for many reasons. When it comex to Thermaltake, my own experience says they are usually over-speced and -priced, but have rather low efficiency. My system's power consumption went down from 110 to 74 Watt when I replaced my Thermaltake Toughpower. ...But that was some time ago.
I find two current 650 W PSU models here, if it is one of them:

Trouble with a new iPod video (and a question)

My new iPod video is causing my computer to freeze when I connect it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. After that, it seemed to be going OK, but it only downloaded about 500m (of a total of 50g) before iTunes froze again and stopped downloading (of course the "Do Not Disconnect" icon on the iPod stayed there, but I had no choice but to disconnect it!).
All of my music is on an external Seagate hard drive coming in through one of my USB inputs. The iPod is on the other USB input. Could this be part of the problem? I don't think it's a drive letter issue since it did start downloading the last time before freezing.
Also, I'm wondering if I can use my old firewire cable from my previous iPod to speed up the transfer process once I actually get the thing working.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Ipod Video and Alpine CDE-9852 Problem.

I'm having problems with my new Alpine CDE-9852, and my black 60 gig ipod Video (1.11 software verison).
When I first pluged in my Ipod to the unit I got Error 01, my first thought was that I needed to install software on the ipod, but from reading the owners manual I didn't see anything about that.
With the car still running I unpluged the Ipod and pluged it back in, it worked. I Went though the menu's, played all kindas of songs, no problems.
When I got home I thought I would play with it a bit, because it takes forever to go throw all my songs.
Then it just stoped working, getting Error 01, sometimes it would connect and get the check mark, but you couldn't control the Ipod, sometimes it would connect with the alpine logo showing my ipod, but when I go from track to track in a playlist it would crash and give me Error 01.
I have noticed that it would connect if I played a song on my Ipod but paused it, connected it to the cable, then started the car.
But it would still soon crash.
I just bought the unit from bestbuy today, I'm going to go back tomorrow and see if they can replace it or something.
maybe the cable needs to be repluged in.

IPod photo and usb

We have an old,1.2.1, iPod Photo with firewiredock for connecting to the computer; a dock to camera usb +camera reader+ cable; and an optical cable to connect the iPod to our Hi Fi.
We recently acquired a radio/cd/tape player which has a usb port and will shortly take delivery of a new TV also with a usb port. The camera reader does not have the right size of usb connection to fit the radio and therefore probably the TV.
Is there a cable which will connect the iPod dock to the Radio/TV to 1)play music and/or 2) show photos?
Your advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Kenichi. Some more info from me :
This is what the TV Handbook says: +USB connection / PC network connection+
+Multimedia connection for instantly view or play+
+your photos or music.+ The TV is Philips 42 PFL9803H.
As I understand this you should be able to play an iPod photos and music through the TV but to go back to my original question, is there a USB cable that will do the job?
The MPMAN radio/cassete/CD player does much the same except obviously just for music. It says connect the MP3 to the USB port and play your music.
Both devices will also take a USB Stick but I do not know how you transfer music and/or photos over to a stick.
I simply want to benefit from all my work in creating libraries and sideshows in iPhoto and creating playlists of my own music in iTunes. Since everything is synced to iPod, the simplest thing seems to be to use the USB ports on the above devices. But what cable, if it exists?
I thought most new TVs and audio devices now come with USB ports to enable greater connectivity and presumably that includes Apple. Perhaps brand competition, copyright protection,or just obstructive individuals are standing in the way. Hopefully you can enlighten me further.
All the best, Tom.

Ipod Video and External Battery Question

If I am not in the correct forum, tell me. I got the 30 Gig Ipod Video. I am curious about an external battery pack that uses AA batteries to extend the battery life of the Ipod Video. I saw the Belkin but many said they had an overheating problem when using that one. I assume it must be designed for 5th gen. I had one for my mini and it worked great. My assumption is that the one that worked on the mini will not work on the Ipod Video. Any suggestions for one that works well???
Ipod Video 30 gig Windows XP

I keep all my videos on an external hardrive (to save space on my computer's hardrive) and now that I want to transfer my videos to the video iPod, I don't know how to do it without copying the videos to the computer's. Same goes for buying videos on iTunes. Can someone help me with this, please?
One possibility is to simply let iTunes use the external drive as its primary storage device. (I.e., store your "Music" folder externally on the external HD.) To do this, go to the "Advanced" Preference tab and reset the storage location. (Not sure if current material will automatically be copied to the new location or if you have to do this manually.) Would assume you can then use the expanded storage area for iPod compatible files, archive "master" material to CD/DVD, and delete unwanted masters from the HD. If you are using the auto-sync mode, you can then use the active "Library" to control what is sync'd. Further, you can then delete material from the "library" but elect to leave the file(s) stored in the "Music" folder rather than "trashing" them (i.e., keep them stored on the external drive as sort of an "archive") if/when you no longer want it sync'd to your iPod and restore it later to iTunes when/if needed again.

Do IPod Video and Windows XP HP Labtop go together?

I wanted to know if my HP Labtop can handle itunes. Last time my computer got really slow (laggy) and i had to reformat it. Its back to normal but im not sure if i can put itunes back on my laptop if its going to cause the same problem.
P.S. I dont want to waste my ipod video of 60 GB and i havent had it for a year yet.

Just tossing in my experience quickly:
Ever since I "upgraded" to v7 of iTunes, my iPod (60G w/Video) hasn't been recognized, same as Rebecca. Also my TransFlash memory cards aren't recognized, either. I went through many steps listed in these forums, to no avail; I even did a repair install of Windows. I have noticed in my Device Manager the following: a yellow exclamation point beside "parport" and "serial". (Right-click "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices) For both of these entries, under their properties, it says this: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)" I haven't found much info surfing the net as of yet... I hope this info helps a bit. Don't mean to hijack, here, either. But in my opinion the new iTunes upgrade corrupts the windows registry somehow, as this story of mine seems to be quite prevalent...

IPod Video and camera connector with Canon PowerShot Pro1

Does anybody have a new iPod video with a camera connector and a Canon PowerShot Pro1? I'm having trouble downloading images to my iPod?
Every time I connect the camera to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod screen that says "no card inserted".
I've tried 3 different memory cards in my camera with the same results.
HELP?
Jason

Don't know about the Pro 1. My Canon XT works fine. In the menu for the XT, I have COMMUNICATION: My choices are A)Print/PCP and 2)PC Connection. Print/PCP must be selected for it to work on mine. Check the menu of your Pro 1.
