IPods and Tiger

This may be off topic here. If so I apologize. But the question is this.
Why are people so high on iPods when they can buy a Palm Pilot for a cheaper price that does far more? My Zire 72 can do music, movies, record audio, take pictures, record video, an do so much more. However the audio recorder in the Palm will no chance replace a standard digital recorder or tape recorder, and the camera will not replace a standard digital or analog video camera.
Tell me can the iPod sync better with music than my Zire 72? I notice that my Zire cannot sync with iTunes. I have to waste a CD everytime I wish to copy music to it.
Why are people buying iPods in droves, but not Palm Pilots? The Zire 72 is cheaper than an iPod and can do more.
Someone with some technical experience with an iPod and Palm, please respond.
John

Lets see--I've got 12GBs on my iPod. The Zire says it has "14MBs of actual storage capacity."
I download music from iTMS, plug in the iPod and transfer my new music to it. Evidently you can't do that.
I construct custom playlists and can select them to play on the iPod. Evidently you can't do that.
I plug in the ear buds that came with the iPod and listen. Evidently you have to buy ear buds. I plug in head phones, or plug the iPod directly into my stereo. Evidently you can do that without buying an expansion card.
14MBs????? Even my older shuffle pod holds more than that, and is cheaper than your Zire. And I didn't have to buy anything extra to use head phones, so I'm guessing it was significantly cheaper, as well as working better.

  • G2 iPod and Tiger: a match made in heck

    Hi. I purchased my G2 (touchweel/firewire) iPod when I still had my old computer, running OS 9.2.2. Now I've upgraded computers (15"PB w/ OS10.4.4), but can't currently afford a new iPod to "go with it". I'd like to be able to continue to sync to my trusty G2 device. So I goes to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60971 , which tells me I need iTunes 4.7. hmmm...I currently have iTunes 6.
    My question (before I go off and try to sync and get into a biggol' mess): Is iTunes 4.7 the MINIMUM I need for my G2 iPod or is it the MAXIMUM? In other words, will my iPod accept nothing BELOW iTunes 4.7 or will it accept nothing ABOVE iTunes 4.7? Or will it ONLY accept iTunes 4.7? The abovereferenced page makes none of this clear.
    My second question: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688 says my G2 iPod runs iPod Software Version 1.5. Since that's what's already on it (it's got tons of music on it right now), do I need to re-download it and have it lurking somewhere in the background before I sync? Or once it's "on" the iPod, should I just leave well enough alone?
    My final question (for now): If I do, in fact, need to be running iTunes 4.7 to be able to communicate with my G2 iPod, will that supercede my current v.6? Or what? Can I run them simultaneously? Will that not confuse my poor PowerBook (much as I am clearly confused)?
    Thank you, whomever you may be, o fair answerer of my queries.
    15" Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    1. Your iPod can sync with iTunes 6; the requirements listed are the minimum needed to use all features of the iPod, and synching music with a second generation iPod can be done with iTunes 2.04 on Mac OS 9.22.
    2. You do not need to reinstall the iPod's firmware before using it.

  • 3G iPod and Tiger .... Not a Match Made In Heaven

    Some time ago, when I first installed Tiger and then iTunes 6, I noticed that my iPod took longer to be recognized by my computer. I thought nothing of it until a few weeks ago. Then it started to take an hour to be seen on my desktop. Since then, I tried to connect my iPod to another computer running Tiger and restored it from there. I could then see my iPod on my computer, but then the problem started all over again. I tried using the other computer, but that computer will no longer see my iPod. I then wiped iTunes out and reinstalled it. My iPod still could not be seen. I tried connecting my iPod to an older G4 tower which is running 10.3, and it could see my iPod. So I restored it again, from that machine. I tried plugging the iPod back into the other two machines running Tiger, and my iPod would not show up on the desktop.
    When connected my machine, the iPod acts as if it were just plugged into the wall to charge. On the other machine running Tiger, the "Do not disconnect" comes on the screen of the iPod. But on the old machine, my iPod works fine and can have music transfered to it.
    Can someone tell me why my iPod can't be seen on my machine? I have followed all of the directions on the Apple Support pages, but nothing works. Please help!!!!!

    OK so, to summarise:
    1) The iPod works when connected to the Panther (10.3) equipped G4 tower.
    2) The iPod doesn't show up at all on the desktop or in the iPod Updater software or in DiskUtility or in iTunes on either of the Tiger equipped computers (eMacs?)
    However if you connect it to either of them, then iTunes freezes until it is removed? The iPod does appear in System Profiler on these computers.
    3) You have no other firewire devices connected to the Tiger machines.
    4) you have reset the iPod ( following the instructions found at http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n61705 )
    5) you have restored the iPod , using the G4
    Mmm.
    Further thoughts:
    If its working with the G4 under Panther, and has crrect sofwtare installed, then it must be related to either the software or hardware on the two Tiger computers. The fact that it shows up in system profiler suggests that its not a firewire port issue, though. I'd normally aexpect this to be a problem involving a conflict with another FW device, but if there are none connected it obviously can't be.
    1) try reinstalling iTunes
    2) zap the PRAM
    3) try a new cable

  • Can't use ipod and external HD anyon imac g3 after using it on intel mac...

    hi, i've recently bought a intel imac and it has (what else) tiger on it. My girlfriend has an old g3 imac with jaguar on it. Today I connected my ipod to the old g3 imac (because i needed some files, about 10gb) and it didn't appear in finder or in itunes.
    After trying some stuff, like resetting and retrying, etc., I went home to get my external HD and again, when i plugged it in, it didn't appear in finder. Strange, because before I had my new computer, the ipod and the HD were connected to the g3 imac all the time and on the intel imac, they still work perfect.
    Then, I went to disk-utility and it recognised my HD but when i tried to activate the external HD from there, nothing happened. No error, no message, nothing.
    But (and as we say in Belgium, now comes the ape out of the sleeve) when i clicked repair (in disk utility), it said that i didn't have the permissions to activate it...
    --it was something like cannot activate dev/disk/blablabla dont have permission something something...
    Could it be that my new computer has put some sort of protection on my ipod and external HD? and how can I remove that protection?
    Or is there another solution for this strange and dark mystery??????

    I have 2 ipods, both would not work on G3 iBook once connected to an Intel iMac. Took me a long time on the phone to Apple to figure this one.
    It seems to be a conflict with the 'volume format' of the ipod. Plugging it into an Intel will change the format to 'Mac OS extended (journaled)' for some reason my G3 would not recognise it then. To fix it I plugged ipod to the Intel and went to disk utility. Select the ipod (hopefully you can activate it). Go to the Erase menu and change the volume format to 'Mac OS extended'.
    It should stay on that format and work on both computers.
    Hope it works

  • 3 A's on ipod and won't respond.

    I have had issues with my 60g with video for about 2 months now. First the sad ipod icon, error messages that it couldn't update the ipod, failure to copy to disk....I ran the virus scan today, restored the ipod, installed itunes and re-registered the ipod with the original cd. Worked fine for about an hour. Now I have 3 letters of A on the screen, and will not respond. When I try to restore it, it gives me an error that there was a problem trying to download the ipod to the ipod.

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • MP3 players and Tiger

    Not so sure if this is the right forum. I need to find a new mp3 player thats compatible with Tiger. I am trying to find something other than an iPod, and between 5-10gb. The list that i found of mac compatible players aree all old MP3 players. Anyone know of any MP3 players that would work with Tiger? Looking for a preferably small in physical size, but has a good size drive 5-10 gigs. Some of the ones I found only have the little screen on them and you have to constantly have to click for the song you're looking for. Thanks!
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hi, asraziel. Welcome to the Discussions.
    Rio provides a list here of their players that are compatible with both iTunes and Mac OS X, though they are not specific about the version of Mac OS X. You'd have to check with them concerning specific compatibility with Tiger.
    You may want to post your question on one of the iTunes for Mac Discussions if you're interested in using iTunes with a third-party player.
    Note that no third-party player will directly support music downloads you purchase from iTMS as Apple does not license its encryption technology. If buying music through iTMS is something you want to do, then, you need an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • Multiple iPods and users on one computer and constant dialogs....

    Everyone in my family has an iPod (total of 5) and we each have logins with our own iTunes accounts. This works very well except for the following. Each time someone logins in (or user switches) when an iPod that is not theirs is plugged in, they get a dialog telling them so, and requests one of three answers. This is anoying, and when my 7yo clicks on the wrong button it wipes out what his brother or sister or Mother or I have on our iPods... We can get the stuff back of course but it's a PITA!
    Is there any way to have iTunes completely ignore iPods that are not synched to it! I would prefer to not even have it show up in iTunes or on the desktop. Although this would be exceptable over what i have now.

    "Is there any way to have iTunes completely ignore iPods that are not synched to it!"
    No there's not, iTunes will always give you a message if you sync to a "foreign" library. However, you can set the iPods up so that iTunes doesn't open when they are connected. Connect the iPod and when it shows in iTunes click on the icon to bring up the preference tabs. In the Summary tab uncheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected". You have to do this for each of your iPods in turn.

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3

  • Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

    I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
    Thanks in advance

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • Steps to put itunes (50 gb) on external drive and delete from imac.  How would I update my ipods and ipad from the external drive if I do this

    I am planning to put itunes library on external hard drive. My Imac is running out of room and itunes is 50+ gb of music.
    What steps do I take to do this.  Also, if I do so, how do I update my ipods and my ipad 2.  I do back up my files with time machine.  This would be a completely separate new external hard drive.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Two ways:
    1. After transferring to the external drive create an alias to the iTunes Music folder on the external drive.  Copy the alias into your Home folder.  Rename the alias to "iTunes Music."  Delete the alias from the external drive.
    2. In the iTunes preferences click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar.  You should see a field labeled, "iTunes Media Folder Location."  Click on the Change button and select the /iTunes Music/ folder on the external drive.
