My 5G ipod displays "Firewire not supported." even without cable.

It will have the error message even without the usb cable in. The message will pop up sometimes when i move it. I am thinking that the connection port on the bottom might be loose. Could a pin be out of place or is there some kind of locking switch or pin that indicates that the cable is in the ipod. Has anybody ever seen this problem before and has it been resolved? Any help is appreciated.

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

  • 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

  • TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

    When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".  I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
    Any ideas out there?

    I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work.  It says "the connected display is not supported"  What's up?
    Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.  But trying again later doesn't work any better.
    Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen.  It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

    my connector is CA-101D,, at first it connects then the next time i try it it doesn't... after more or less five times trying, it worked again i was even able to install ovi.... the after that,, when i connect the cable to the PC again it displays "charger not supported"...... i can't connect.. T_T
    please tell me what to do.. thank you....

    As per few posts on this forum (..you may use the Search Box at the top of this page to search yourself..) the reason may be a faulty Battery.. but a couple of those posts also mention that when the users once charged another good battery successfully.. the earlier battery also charged without problem afterwards..

  • The attached iPod model is not supported by this application

    I just bought a 20G color iPod. I spoke w/ the Apple tech support & I needed service pack 2. I downloaded it. I didn't have a USB 2.0 port then I installed one. I downloaded the latest Apple updater software 2005-06-26 then I tried the even later version 2005-09-06. When I go into updater, it says it is "initializing" and then says "the attached iPod model is not supported by this application." Reformat and restore are both grayed out. iPod doesn't show up in iTunes and doesn't transfer my library. I just got back from the Apple Store and the suppossed "genius" said the iPod is fine and it is my computer. WHAT is wrong with my computer?

    Brad,
    you ought a little bit more descriptive! What Version of iTunes are you using? Check the software version of your iPod (if it even has one yet) under Settings-About. Your iTunes and iPod software have to be compatible. If you're running 4.9 you need 2005-06-26. Close iTunes and leave it alone. Deinstall all iPod related software, clean the registry if you want (I don't think this is so much necessary for the iPod software). Then install 2005-06-26 again on your computer first!! Don't connect the iPod. After having installed it, open the Updater, then connect. Before you do that and since you don't have any music on the iPod reset it to factory settings under Settings-Reset all settings. Or at least reset it with pushing Menue and the center knob at once. Many possibilities I know, but either one will work...after that it will remain seen by iTunes and you're a lucky guy (hopefully).
    Best regards

  • "Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

    I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
    Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported".  If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
    Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video.  The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
    When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....

  • Why the iPod Touch does not support GPS Bluetooth Reciever

    Why the iPod Touch does not support Bluetooth GPS.
    I had to make a jailbreak justto install and use roqyBT a Bluetooth GPS receiver,
    This aplication run witch these software:
    TomTom
    Navigon
    iGO
    Maps
    Google Earth
    Around me
    And run wich several receives as iBT 747, QSTARZ Q-1000, Holux M-1000 and my Nokia LD-3W.
    But I didn´t like to use Jailbreak, I only make the jailbreak to use a GPS bluetooth.

    Ipod touch supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer to peer apps from the app store.
    Why is not a question that can be answered here.
    Only Apple would know.

  • "The attached ipod model is not supported by this applicatio

    HELP! I installed my ipod nano and it all worked fine, got a few songs on it. So i downloaded some more, ripped a CD i had and did nothing particularly life changing. Going back into i-tunes it all went a bit funny and came up with a message saying "Cannot read ipod please reset to factory settings" So i went into ipod updater (the version that was on the CD that came WITH the ipod) and was told "The attached ipod model is not supported by this application" so i went onto the apple website and downloaded the latest version of the ipod program, tried again and the same message appeared: "The attached ipod model is not supported by this application" any ideas?!?!?!

    Well let's assume you already have Ituenes 5.01 than if you can see the Nano as a mounted drive in My Computer I would recommend reformatting the Nano with FAT32 from there. Than try running Ipod updater again. Sorry I can't think of anything else right now, try searching around or see if someone comes to you on of your many forms. That's another reason not to double post those that are trying to help you don't know what else has already been suggested.
