Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
Hope this helps.

Use SCSM2012 as a solution for multiple customers

Hallo,
I would like to get some information and help about implementation of SCSM2012. In this case we have a company A that is delivering (cloud) services to multiple customers. The company A want to offer IT management service to the customers with SCSM2012(taking
customers serviceline 1 and 2 over).
Is it possible to provide "IT management" service to multiple customers with SCSM2012 SSP? Considering domain trust between customer and service provider, bandwith, the integration of customer system
with Microsoft (SCSM2012) is very important, maybe there are some other points to consider before implementing SCSM2012 to customer.
Thank you in advance

You could. Things that you would need to consider these. Do you want complete separation between customers? That would require setting up two separate instances of the system. The system is not designed for separate customizations
of work items, i.e. everybody uses the same forms. For security, SCSM has uses role based security tied in with Active Directory which makes it possible to limit what users can see and do within the system. All a user needs is a connection to your
network and the right permissions.

How do you use more then one computer for your Ipod??

One of my computers died and I want to still use iTunes to get more music but I don’t want to erase what I have on my iPod now. I need to use a different computer with out erasing all the music I have now?? HELP

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

QuickTime Pro solution for my iPod conversions?

Hi!
I am looking for an application to convert video to iPod-readable format. 3 questions:
1. Would QuickTime Pro (QT Pro) be a solution for my needs?
2. What can QT Pro convert?
3. What QT pro cannot convert?
Thks.

Don't know about iPod. Still haven't got one. Can ya believe it!
As far as your import/export question...http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html
iMac G4 FCP4/FCE2.0.3 QTPro 7.0.3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Just purchased an ipad, can I use the same charger as for my ipod touch?

I just purchased an Ipad2 and wonder if I can use the same charger for it as my Ipod touch uses?

I doubt it, as my ipod recharger doesn't seem to charge my iPad at all hence the (Not Charging) where the battery would be.
Hope this helps

Using a firewire external drive for Raid

Hi
I posted a question related to this earlier but not specifially on this topic, hence this post.
I was watching Lynda.com video tutorial for servers and noted how easy it seemed to set up a raid solution. However since I am going to use a mac mini for a server I cannot have two harddiscs in it. However I can have a firewire external disc as well as usb 2.0 discs. I figure usb is way to slow, but the firewire should be fast enough..so my question is..can I just buy a firewire disc connect it..use diskutility and set up a raid? Or is there something special I need to concern myself with here i.e special type of external disc etc?
It would be supercool if I could do it this way. Might add, this is low traffic personal server and not a critical server at work..still would be nice with raid though. Then I would do time machine via the usb to an external disc.
Cudos to everyone on the list for all your help.

slightly better than a daisy chained raid array is a multiple bay external firewire enclosure that either offers hardware mirroring or can be mirrored in software. i've used these on client servers before, and they generally work fine.
please be sure to consider the pros and cons of running a mini as a server 24/7, as the 2.5" internal drives aren't generally made to do such things. i usually discourage using minis as servers unless budget or other circumstances prohibit something better.

Using the Firewire power cord for transfers

I have a 20 GB, fourth generation, iPod. It came with a USB adaptor for transfers and a firewire adaptor for charging. The firewire cable plugs into a charging block which connects to an electrical outlet. Is it possible to disconnect the firewire cable from the charging block and use it as a normal firewire cable for transfers? I ask because I have a front mounted Firewire port on my PC, but no available USB port. TIA
20 GB, fourth generation Windows XP Pro

Semantics? Well not really. If you ask a question
here about a usb adaptor, others will think you are
referring to the power adaptor, not a usb cable which
"connects" a usb port to a dock connector rather than
"adapts".
Yes, semantics. And yes, the Firewire to iPod dock connector, and the USB to iPod dock connector are, in fact, adaptor cables. Just because Apple may not use the term doesn't change what they are. Even Apple refers to their power adaptors as "power adaptors", or "charging blocks", USB or not. I never used the word "power", when referring to them so "adaptor" still applies.
Do a search for USB adaptor cables and you will find quite a diversity of products yet few, if any, include any form of power supply.
There are 4 pin and 6 pin firewire cables. Apple
provides the 6 pin variety which transfers both data
and power.
You do have the 6 pin port on your computer?
Of course.

Bug report with proposed solution for mounting external drives for ftp access

Hello Guys,   I registered to inform you about something I would classify as a bug. I realized this when I used an external drive with my WD My Cloud and trying to access the drive via ftp. It simply was not visible on the ftp, but was accessible as samba share. I digged a bit in the scripts and found this:  /etc/init.d/mountDataVolume.sh   [...]
## initialze bind mount dir (/nfs)
/usr/local/sbin/updateShareBindMntDir.sh --init
[...]  /usr/local/sbin/updateShareBindMntDir.sh  [...]
init_mounts()
mount | grep -q "${SHARE_BIND_MNT_DIR}/"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
# initial clean up of MNT dir
rm -rvf ${SHARE_BIND_MNT_DIR}/*
fi
for D in `find /shares/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -not -name ".*"`; do
share_name=$(basename $D)
add_mount "${share_name}"
done
[...]   The init_mounts() function searches /shares for directories (find -type >d<) and bind mounts these to SHARE_BIND_MNT_DIR (default: /nfs) by calling add_mount(). This is the directory where ftp users will drop in after logging in. The problem: find -type d will not find symlinks and external drives are represented by a symlink from /shares to /var/media/EXTERNALDRIVE I propose adding the following code at the end of init_mounts()   for D in `find /shares/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type l -not -name ".*"`; do
share_name=$(basename $D)
add_mount "${share_name}"
done That will look for symlinks in /shares and call add_mount() for each symlink to bind mount it to SHARE_BIND_MNT. I think this is not intended aka a bug because I found this comment for add_mount(): # - If <share_name> is a symlink to an external volume, then create the bind mount
# directly to the external volume.As it seems from this comment add_mount() supports symlinks but init_mounts does not feed it any.   I tried this solution myself and it works flawlessly.   Yours sincerely,schnip

Nice find!

Using the firewire 800 port for my firewire 400 devices

I will be purchasing, at long last, a new mac mini to replace my faithful and well behaved G4 mac mini. I have a 20" cinema display and an external firewire 400 backup drive with the same form factor that sits below the mini. I would like to continue to use these peripherals as well as my video camera DV out. Ideally, it would be cool to have a FW800 hub that had both 800 and 400 places to plug my peripherals, but I don't see that available. Should I get a hub and adaptors for the fw400 components I want to add, or use the hard drive with an adaptor to the mini, then use the FWports on the drive for the monitor, and whatever else I want, thereby using the drive as a hub...
Any advice to this ignorant question would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Since Firewire 400 devices still operate at Firewire 400 speeds regardless of whether or not they are connected by adapter to Firewire 800 ports, the best thing to do is just get a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter, and attach it to a Firewire 400 hub known to be able to do all the functions you desire.
Note, migrating to Intel Macs from PowerPC Macs is not as easy as the Migration Assistant, as this user tip explains:

Solution for some iPod/iTunes problems...

If you are having one or more of the following problems, Windows may be confusing iPod with a network drive or hard drive and may exhibit strange behavior, like:
-iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer
-iPod does not show up as disk in Windows Explorer (even though disk mode in enabled ont he iPod).
-iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on the iPod.
-No songs appear on the iPod after an apprently successful update from iTunes.
-Music copied to mapped network drive instead of iPod.
-The iPod setup assistant appears in iTunes everytime the iPod is connected.
-iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode- use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.
-The wrong iPod name displays in the iTunes source list.
Please note*changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter theiPod uses on subsequent connections, so its not the best long-term solution unless you want to change this everytime you have issues.
To change the drive letter:
-Open Control Panel in Windows
-Go to Administrative Tools
-Go to Computer Management
-Go to Disk Management
-Locate theiPod and right click on it, then click Change drive letter and paths.
-Use the drop-down box to select a new drive letter. Make sure to use a drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all letters that are not assigned to a physical drive, but network drives will stil be listed so be careful. If you arent sure, add a new drive and pick your own letter, something way down the list is best since common drives are A, B, C, D, etc.
-click OK
-Click yes on the confirmation box
-Restart computer
Good luck!!! It worked for me!!!

Honestly, I don't know!! I searched ITunes and IE7 and saw that others were having the same problem I was and that if they stopped using IE7 Itunes started working again.
Basically, I was just proud of dumping Internet Explorer! See, I really love Macs. I had an ibook that finally conked out and i couldn't afford another mac.

Solution for 4g ipods which arent recognized by itunes

Solution for my Ipod?!

With humble request, can anyone please help me in finding my Ipod driver. The model no. is A1137. The main problem with my Ipod is that I cannot copy/download any song from my pc(Windows Vista). I have iTtunes but it could not find my Ipod connection. Apart from this, the Ipod is working well. I would be grateful If any one could give me the solution. Cheers!

Ok.
1) Yeah, it probly would be. But there are better solutions.
2) It can convert pretty much everything except Muxed files
3) Um, Muxed files.
So, the better solutions. What operating system are you on?
Mac: iSquint http://www.isquint.org/ for video conversions.
And Handbrake lite http://www.isquint.org/handbrakelite/ for DVD ripping.
But PC? I dont really know... Someone else might...
