Let me guess and your iPod will not shut off either? I have the same problem and I've had it for about a month. I have used the 5R's many times. I have updated software and restored on the same PC many times.

  • 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

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

  • New iPod with FireWire connection?

    When I plug in my new video iPod to the FireWire connection, the screen says "FireWire connection not supported. Please use USB cable." I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to use FireWire with a new video iPod.
    Thanks,

    It is impossible to use firewire to transfer media off your computer to your 5g Video iPod. However you can still use the firewire cable to charge your iPod.

    Not knowing what everything is:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Did all steps of the restore complete without error? I doubt it.

  • Does newer Software allow iPod 3G Firewire connection?

    I just replaced the hard drive in my 3G. Afterward, I could not get it to be recognized by iTunes, or even the computer as an external device. I could not restore or use as disk or any type of access to the iPod.
    I was just about to throw it away when I thought I would try the USB cable that came with my new nano. It worked, iTunes came up with the iPod and gave me the option to restore.
    It started the restore fine and then gave me a message saying to complete the process, I needed to remove it and plug it into an external power supply (I know it is not powered by a USB cable). I took and plugged it into the firewire charger and the progress bar came up and the restore process completed.
    It is now working fine using the USB cable, but sill will not allow access using my firewire cable. All that it will do using firewire is the drive clicks about every three seconds and iTunes cannot see it.
    Possibly the firewire cable is bad, but I have checked it for continuity and it seems fine. Thus the question, is there any chance the newer iPod software is not compatible with firewire? It behaves the same using XP or Vista.
    Thanks

    There is no newer iPod software for an old 3rd gen iPod. When you do a Restore with the latest version of iTunes, it is installing the same old 3rd gen iPod software that has not changed for years.
    iTunes itself is different, so you might suspect that the latest version (8.1) no longer supports 3rd gen iPods using FireWire. However, I have a 3rd gen iPod connected over FireWire, and it works 100% with iTunes 8.1 (although its on a Mac).
    So I would suspect your FireWire cable.
    You can get a docking cable that has both FireWIre and USB connectors on it. Apple used to sell their official cable, but they do not offer it any more. However, there are third-party version (much cheaper) on eBay
    [For example|http://cgi.ebay.com/1394-FIREWIRE-USB-CABLE-DATA-WIRE-CORD-FOR-APPLE-IP ODW0QQitemZ120389654657QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item12 0389654657&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1% 7C294%3A50]
    (I don't know anything about this seller.)
    You connect the USB end to your computer for data syncing. You connect the FireWire end to your power adapter to supply power while syncing. So You can charge and sync at the same time, without using your computer's FIreWire port; use the USB port instead, which you know currently works with this iPod, your computer, and your iTunes installation.

  • IPod 5G Firewire Connection

    I know that 5G iPods don't support firewire connections, but is there any way to download, or do something to my ipod to make firewire work?

    No. The necessary hardware is not built into the iPod. USB 2.0 is really quite adequate, I find.
