New dock with firewire?

Does the new universal dock, support FW connections for older ipods? Can the 5th gen be charged via a FW connected dock; I know it won't sync, but it might beat buying a new usb charger.

Yes, the older iPods can be supported with FW in the Universal dock. The 5G can also be cahrged with FW, but won't sync.

    Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

    The Apple on-line store has two 30-pin to lightning adapters, but they are the wrong direction from what you want.  Try a Google search, or drop in an Apple retail store and see if they have what you need.

  • 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.

  • IPod dock with firewire hub

    Does such a beast exist? I find it very disheartening that so many companies are developing USB accessories for the iPod when firewire was what it was originally built with. It is a much faster and far superior connection than USB.

    Welcome!
    Click on "store" at the top of the page and do a search for "firewire hub". Apple sells about 5 or 6 different versions. Your local computer/electronics store will also sell them.

  • 5G iPod Universal Dock and FireWire

    I'm thinking of upgrading from my 3G iPod to a new 5G version. Is the 3G dock (with FireWire connection) compatible with the new iPod, or is a new dock necessary? Is there no FireWire connection possible on the new 5G iPod? Thanks!

    Apple do not ship docks with new iPods anymore. because they are only making one type of dock now. instead they are selling adaptors.
    Also firewire is no longer compatable to transfur files from your PC / Mac to your iPod but you can still charge with the firewire cable you got with your 3G.
    what im going to do when i get mine is charge using firewire into a plug socket in the wall. and keep the USB 2.0 cable attached to my computer so there will be no more diving behind my computer to update my pod all i'll have to do is switch cables

  • Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
    Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

  • New iPod with old Dock?

    My son has a new 30gb iPod Video. Since Apple cheaped out and didn't include a dock or charger, can he plug the new model into my 3rd gen touchwheel dock for charging? My dock is firewire, and I believe the new iPod is USB, but it appears the connectors match.

    As far as I know, the main difference in the dock is the width/thickness of the area surrounding the dock connector. Does the 30GB 5G come with anything to put into an older dock to make the fit more snug?
    I'm not certain about the actual connector, but I believe that it should fit.
    Another question is: with an older dock (3g, etc.) can you use the line out for video from the 5g ipod?

  • Connect problem with DV video-camera through the new thunderbolt to firewire adapter?

    Hi
    I got a JVC DV camcorder with firewire 400 output and I've got a Macbook Air 2012 with 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3, intel i7 2GHz, 256 ssd harddisk and intel HD graphics 4000 512 mb. It has thundebolt but no firewire port.
    I wanted to connect these two item and then bought the new "thunderbolt to firewire 800" and the "800 to 400 firewire adapter cable".
    I then connect both cables to each other and pluged it in to the JVC DV. I started up iMovie and pressed play on the camcorder, but the signal can't get through and the Macbook Air does not find the camcorder at all? What have I done wrong? Please help..
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    have you managed to solve your problem? I deal with the same issue using Panasonic MX500 DV camera. Any help would be appriciated.

  • How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new Macbook with one USB-C only?

    How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new MacBook with only one USB-C?

    kaz-k is correct about FireWire not being supported by any possible connector or adaptor to USB-C and never will.  However, there is no such thing as a FireWire Hard Drive.  There are only SATA (or if it is a really old one, ATA,) drives in a FireWire enclosure.  If you can remove the drive from the case/enclosure - bust it open somehow if it is a glued-up unit - then the drive can be placed into a regular USB3 enclosure. Then it can connect to the new MacBook via any one of the adaptors Apple sells.

  • Connecting Canon HV30 to New Macbook pro with firewire 800

    I just received new Macbook pro 2.8 that only has 9 pin firewire 800 connectivity. My previous IMac accepted my Canon HV30 HD video through 4-6 pin firewire 400 with ease, the new laptop will receive the video through 4-9 pin cable but the video color is severely distorted and unusable. Is there a problem with firewire 400 to 800 transfer compatibility?

    Yeah, FW400 is compatible with FW800. Only need to find the conversion cable with the correct connectors.Try getting that first and connecting the two, to see if the Mac recognizes it and enables capture. Else visit the camera maker's site to check if they are providing Mac-specific software.

  • I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then  you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Cannot drag files to mail dock icon to compose new message with attachment

    Hello,
    I can no longer drag images or files to the dock icon to open a compose message window with the attachment. I drag the file and nothing happens.
    I first noticed using skitch. Then I tried both a jpg and word .docx from finder and neither worked. I then tried dragging to other applications like photoshop and that worked fine. So it seems to be isolated to mail.app
    I tried repairing my permissions and that didn't fix the problem.
    I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.2
    Lori

    Alright well the problem is back and I did some further testing.
    It works when mail.app is not already open, I can drag images or any type of file to mail, mail will open and create a new message with the attachment.
    IF mail is already open, the only thing I've been able to drag are links from safari, images or files no longer work.

  • With iOS4 on a 2G will I get the new dock?

    I have a 2G and I saw in the demos for iOS 4 that the dock for the bottom four apps are different. Will I get the new dock when I update, I know I will not get all the new features.

    You should be able to get the new dock.
    Apple stated the following:
    Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).

  • How to use 2 devices with firewire connections on new MBP?

    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and I am planning on recording a band with Logic Pro soon. I plan on purchasing an external hard drive with firewire to record the audio to.
    My question is I am confused on how I will use both my Firepod (which is a firewire audio interface) and a Firewire external hard drive when my Mac Book Pro only has one Firewire input.
    Is there an obvious solution I am not seeing? Could I go from the firepod to the external hard drive to the Mac Book?
    Would using the USB ports for the external hard drive make the quality suffer? Thanks for the advice and help!

    Is there an obvious solution I am not seeing? Could I go from the firepod to the external hard drive to the Mac Book?
    Use a FireWire hub. If the external drive has two or more FireWire ports, it's a hub.
    Would using the USB ports for the external hard drive make the quality suffer?
    No, but performance might.
