Lead for ipod touchwheel (2002) firewire to usb

i have been given an old ipod a touchwheel 2nd generation (2002) 10mb and i have all the cables but not the one that goes from the ipod to the computer, its needs to be firewire at one end and usb at the other, i bought one lead but it requires the flat connection to the ipod not the firewire, does anyone know if these are still availble to purchase?? thanks

The second gen (and first gen) iPod is meant to be used with FireWire only.
does anyone know if these are still availble to purchase?
There was never any such cable, with FireWire on one end and USB on the other end, available for purchase. If you really want to use this iPod with your computer, you need to add FireWire to your computer. You can do so with a Cardbus or ExpressCard card (if your PC is a laptop and has such a slot) or an internal PCI or PCIe card (if your PC is a desktop and has such as slot). Be sure to get the type that adds the 6-pin powered ports that are FireWire 400. There are other types that are smaller (4-pin) and different shape (FireWire 800 ); the port needs to fit that connector on the cable.

Russian language support for iPod 10 GB (firewire) ?

Is there a Russian language support for that iPod (not iTunes, for the device itself)?
Thanks

You should ask this in the forum for that device, which is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151
You should also identify your ipod more exactly if possible. Here is a chart:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688
Then you can probably find the tech specs via Apple or Google. Here is one example (Russian not supported).

Seriously I need help!! PC cant detect ipod through firewire or usb.

It's been months since my 3rd gen 20 GB ipod stopped working correctly. After I installed the new updater for my (03-23-2006) computer, my pc cant detect the ipod AT ALL!!! It's not showing in itunes, not showing up in the updater, and it's not showing up in "My Computer". I plug it in the usb slots, it does NOTHING. Plug it through firewire... all it does is just charges up and that's it.
I tried unistalling and reinstalling old versions of the updater and itunes but even that's not working. My ipod use to work fine by either connecting the ipod through a firewire or USB. Now, NONE of the usb or firewire slots (back and front) wont detect it.
I did the 5 R's hundreds of times and placed it in disk hard trying to see if any of the slots would detect it but no luck!! I also reset the ipod in every usb and firewire slot but no luck. I alse disable my norton antivirus but that didnt help either. There's nothing wrong with the usb or firewire cables because they both worked with my friend's ipod.
I even drove over 5 miles to the nearest apple store to see if they can help and their macs couldnt detect the ipod, even though my ipod was formated for win. They couldnt help me at all.
I've must of done EVERYTHING!!
Someone please help!!!
3rd gen 20 GB Windows XP

My girlfriends 3rd gen 20G Ipod is having similar problems. If I connect it via USB, the PC doesn't recognise it, and if I connect it via Firewire, I get a blue screen with ntfs.sys are the named culprit.
I've tried it on two differnet PCs now with the same results (both with latest iTunes and update software on them).
I've still got a 3rd gen 40G iPod thats working fine with both PCs, so im starting to think it's a problem with the disk in the iPod though. Although it's usable, theres some strange clicking noises when I connect it (before the crash...), and it tends to always skip the first song in a playlist/album etc and only play the second one.

Will Firewire to USB 2.0 adapter work for 5G iPod?

Interested in getting a 5G iPod for an overseas trip. I have a flat panel iMac with only USB 1.0 and Firewire. I've heard that there is an adapter from Firewire to USB 2.0. Anyone heard of this? If so, can that be used to transfer files using Firewire instead of USB 1.0? I am afraid that loading movies using USB 1.0 will take forever!

hi guys,
can somebody explain me how that is possible. I don't know if it is working properly. But in case it is why isn't somebody else producing it?

How do I connect my 2nd generation Ipod to a Firewire 800 port? It no longer holds a charge and it doesn't power up with the newer generation USB cable. The only way I can sync my Itunes library onto this Ipod is when it is powered...

How do I connect my 2nd generation Ipod to a Firewire 800 port on a new laptop? It no longer holds a charge and it doesn't power up with the newer generation USB cable. The only way I can sync my Itunes library onto this Ipod is when it is powered and connected simultaneously. Pls help.

Ipod update freeze, firewire problem, possible fix for many.

Hello all,
I've been having a problem with my ipod 3rd gen updating in much the same way as many in this forum have throughout a number of topic threads.
PROBLEM:
During song/playlist/content (not software update or restore) updating function one of two things would happen:
- update would freeze at some point of the transfer (5, 74, 687 songs in to the update) and I would have to force quite itunes and, not being able to dismount the ipod through recommended procedure, I would physically dismount the ipod and receive a scolding for improper dismounting of device.
- system would crash at some point of the transfer yielding the shaded screen and a prompt to restart the computer by depressing the front panel button for two seconds.
In each of the above cases, no matter how many songs that itunes thought it had transferred, I would only have about a dozen songs on the ipod itself, perhaps indicating a bottleneck on the G4 end of the transfer.
DEADENDS FOR ME THAT MAY STILL SOLVE PROBLEM FOR SOME:
- swaping out cables
- ipod software restore or restore to earlier version
SOLUTION:
After contacting Apple support, I was led to the opinion that the problem was with the firewire port itself. This was confirmed by attaching my ipod with my cable to a roomates G5 resulting in a faultless transfer of his song library. I was ready to go out and purchase a new firewire PCI card but decided to research firewire problems in the G4 folder of Discussions. This is where I found the fix to my problem (see links at bottom of document). It would seem that Mac ports, both firewire and USB, have a tendency to bog down after awhile and need to be reset. This can be a addressed by one of three possible solutions. The first and easiest was the solution that worked for me (for other solutions please follow links at bottom of page):
- powered down and disconnected all firewire and USB cables from the G4
- disconnected power cable from G4 (for laptops I would guess that the battery would need to be removed, not sure if that causes any other problems though, please research)and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- reconnected all cables and restarted computer. Ports should be reset at that point
- I took the added measure to restart my computer once with nothing attached to USB and firewire ports and then powering down with front panel button before connecting cables and proceding with final restart.
RESULT:
Faultless transfer of 37.6 gigs of content in less that 45 minutes.

Good Luck

This worked perfectly for me!!!
SOMEBODY PLEASE TAG THIS POST!!!
i have had the problem that everyone has posted about (i.e. - updated iTunes/iPod software and had the update/freeze problem, tried all solutions, to no avail, and was pretty much screwed.)
JUST DO EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS TO DO (powermac g5, by the way):
1) power down the computer
2) unplug EVERYTHING (usb, firewire, power, monitor, etc.)
3) leave unplugged for 30 minutes
4) plug power back in
5) power up from main power button
6) wait for computer to start back up, then shut down from power button
7) plug everything back in and power up
8) restart once more for good measure
9) update your ipod
10) take a sigh of relief!
you are seriously a godsend...only one thing...I BOUGHT A NEW ONE ALREADY!!! i literally bought it the day that you posted this solution. After a month and a half of trying to fix this problem, i finally gave up and bought a 20GB iPod Photo with applecare...cost me about $380.
no matter, i think i'm gonna sell my "older" ipod to my mom or dad. they'll use it doing whatever they do. plus, that way, if there's any problem, i can fix it for them without feeling bad about screwing over some stranger.
thanks again, this solution worked perfectly.

Can a firewire iPod Mini be changed to USB?

I've just bought a new MacBook. My older Mac is a Mac Mini and my iPod Mini connects to it via Firewire. Can I simply get a USB iPod cable to connect the iPod to the MacBook? Or is there anything else I can do to use the iPod with the MacBook?

Sorry been away for a while. What I originally meant was I could not use my G3 ipod as an external drive on my new Macbook pro on account the laptop has no Firewire 400 ports. I read some replies on other similar threads that this ipod will work on the USB ports but mine will not and wondered why.
I have since bought a "Neet" adapter with a male 800 to a female 400 firewire and now everything work fine, thanks for your interest

What usb cable for ipod touch 4th g 64gb?

I got a used iPod touch 64gb 4th generation, but no charging cable. I assume that a charger for a classic iPod video 64gb wouldn't fit, but which cable would be the right one?
There is one for sale, called a "Sync Data USB Cable+Home+DC Car Charger For Apple iPod Touch 4G 4th Gen 8GB/64GB". It seems as if this would be the right item or am I missing something? This is a generic item. Should I do that?
Thanks!
Mildred.

This one "Sync Data USB Cable+Home+DC Car Charger For Apple iPod Touch 4G 4th Gen 8GB/64GB". should be fine.
The charger for a classic iPod video 64gb may not work since early iPod chargers used FireWire charging (12 volts) vice USB (5 volts) for charging.

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.

Attractive Firewire to USB 2.0 adapter for iMac?

I have a 20" intel iMac. It has 2 Firewire ports on the back that are going unused -- meanwhile I have too many USB 2.0 peripherals and I'm constantly swapping them out (printer, scanner, external hard drive, iPod, cybershot).
I've thought about getting a USB hub to extend the ports, but I really don't want an extra ugly device with a extra power cables and stuff.
Ideally, I'd like an attractive little device that fits right into one or both Firewire ports and converts them into USB 2.0 -- no extra cable, no separate powers supply, and preferably in iMac white.
Does such a beast exist?

As Rich said, there are no Firewire to USB converters. However, you might consider this Belkin unit for aesthetics: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=199941
It stacks nicely with an Apple Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and it doesn't look bad next to your iMac. I bought one when I had a Mini and I had a nice looking Mini-AEBS-Belkin stack on my desk. Nowadays, I have it stacked below my AEBS next to my iMac and it looks great...

IPod dock connected to both firewire and usb at same time

I have 3 ipods, 3G 4G 60gb photo 5G 80gb vid. I have a 5G doc and a dual usb / firewire cable. I prefer to manage my 3G and 4G using firewire as it is oh so quicker. However 5G requires usb2 only. I have a Apple 'dual' usb/firewire port cable that at the moment to use I alternate which socket is plugged into the front port of my PowerMac G5 as they are the only spare ports I have.
I just bought an Iomega Ultra Max which comes with a built in firewire and usb hub that means i now have enough ports to dedicate one of each to the ipods but want to use only one dock and so I would like to plug both the firewire and usb iPod cable into the hub and leave them there connected to the iPod dock. I know it won't cause problems when the 5G is connected as there is no hardware for firewire connection. But the 4G has both.. will I encountering a usb and firewire conenction cause problems and possible damage to the ipod or my PowerMac G5, will the 4G ipod use firewire in prefeance to USB if it will work???

Hi iPodista;
I would recommend very strongly that you don't even attempt do this. Generally cross connecting in this fashion is a very good way to get yourself into serious troble.

Connecting iPod Classic to iMac with USB 1.1 and Firewire

I've just read the specs for the new iPod Classic and the requirements call for USB 2.0 to connect to a Mac. My older iMac does not have USB 2.0. Is the iPod backward compatible to 1.1 or Firewire or is this just not going to work?

Only way for you to use the newer "iPod Classic" is to buy a newer machine if yours can not be upgraded. It is how to make money now, new product means buy new machine to run them, gone are the days of making hardware backwards compatible, no profit in it. What Apple could have done was use its R & D center to make either the Firewire chip smaller or install a Firewire and USB 2.0 Chips in a Dock and have the iPod's internal USB 2.0 chip to switch off when dock connected and allow the electrons to pass through circuit and have the task of delegating to the dock to which ever format it is plugged into the machine. Remember when calling something "Classic" you are referring to the features that made it popular to begin with. Not only was its ease of use but it was for its Firewire connection was the fastest way to get hundreds of music files transferred in a matter of minutes not hours. That was the only choice until the 3G ipod and remained until the ipod photo. I have told Apple a thousand times by e-mail, phone and snail mail I would gladly pay extra to have the iPod with Video and firewire syncing through a dock or a custom iPod. But for now the only way for you to get what you really want is to build it yourself.

Is there a usb 3.0 cable for iPods?

I was wondering if there are USB 3.0 cables for iPods. Any feedback would be great

No. Apple only sells one cable for the iDevices.
The iDevices will work with a USB port but it will be not faster than a USB 2 port.

USB not working for ipod

This is my 2nd USB cord for ipod touch. This one is now not charging as it should. Tip or suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

USB Port for iPod Not Found

The problem seems to be that the USB port is not being recognized by the software. I tried using Anapod and when I launched the program it could not find the iPod device even though it was connected in the USP port on my laptop.
BTW - I tried all four USB ports and the results were the same
Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the exact same problem. I've reinstalled all the iTunes software several times. I have an iPod mini and an iPod nano that will not show themselves in iTunes. However, if I take them to my laptop, they connect perfectly with iTunes. Is there some way to rid myself of the usb drivers for iPod so I can get it to try to recognize the iPods?
