New iPod working with USB 1.0

So I heard that the new Video iPods are USB 2.0. First question, why the **** is apple going away with firewire? Second how does the new 4th generation work with USB 1.0 on an FP iMac? I am sure it is slow but will it work? Still a bit frusterated they arn't firewire....
Thanks for the help.

why the ** is apple going away with firewire?
They haven't said. Perhaps to save space on the iPod.
From everything I've read it seems to be exactly that, as if you compare the dimensions of a FireWire chip to that of a USB chip, the size differences are in general rather great. In addition, although I cannot vouch for this myself, I've read in multiple places that FireWire chips are more expensive to manufacture, therefore this could be yet another reason. Not to mention the obvious one that the majority of iPods users have Windows machines, very few of which are equipped with FireWire. It is kind of a shame that Apple is straying away from FireWire given that in multiple computers that I've tested, syncing via FireWire has proven faster (using my old 4G iPod though of course) however the speed differences are pretty marginal. Finally, the thinness and price of the new iPods truly are amazing given both the 'competition' and previous generation iPods, so it seems to be a fair enough tradeoff.
Happy Holidays to all!!!

Will a new Ipod work with Ibook G3 600MHz (Dual USB)?

I have a Ibook G3 600MHz (Dual USB) with USB 1 and I'm considering buying a new 30GB Ipod; Apple recommends USB 2.0. Will this Ipod work with my Ibook?
Thanks

you really need USB2 high powered ports to be able to charge your ipod correctly....
you could use USB1 to synch files but it will be painfully slow
and you could get a USB2 iPod charger to charge your ipod

IPod works with USB 1.0 but not 2.0?

I'm trying to get my cousins iPod Shuffle working for her but I'm not having much luck...
When I plug it in to any port on the computer, I get "USB Device Not Recognized" and it shows up as an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
However, if I disable "Intel(R) 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24DD" in Device Manager it immediately detects the device and it'll work with iTunes.
What do I need to do to get this to work with USB 2.0? What could be causing the problem? Thanks!

No, the fact that they haven't needed to update the drivers means they work perfectly well.
If they work perfectly well, how come they cannot pick up the iPod (which has nothing to do with iTunes)?
Also, how do you know they haven't needed to?
More likely they simply haven't even looked at them to see if they need updating.
Oh, and from the first post...
"However, if I disable "Intel(R) 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24DD" in Device Manager it immediately detects the device and it'll work with iTunes."
But enough of this.
Good luck with your problem.
Hope you get it fixed.

New iPod work with PB G4 400 Titanium?

I assume my PB is not USB 2.0 (I can't see how to tell), but that just means the new iPod will sync slower, right? It will work, just slower? Planning to buy one of the video iPods and want to ensure it will work.
Thanks.

The System Requirements for the iPod Nano include a "built-in USB 2.0 port." I see that requirement has been dropped with the iPod Video, and replaced with "built-in USB port (USB 2.0 recommended)." Whether the iPodV will work with a USB 2.0 adapter card, I don't know, but no Tibook has USB 2.0 built in, so an adapter card is the only way you'll get it. It would be worth a try, because data transfer via USB 1.1 is at least 30 times slower than through USB 2.0, and even if the iPod can't use the adapter card, other USB 2.0 peripherals like hard drives and flash drives will.

Will new iPods work with my iMac G3 DV?

Hi,
I want to buy one of the new iPods either the big baby or the Nano, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to whether it will work with my Mac.
I have an iMac G3 DV 400mhz, which I believe has USB 1.
Will it work with this as some are saying it might, although Apple say no.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey!
Ken,If you're buying a new Pod,Apple system requirements are Mac OS 10.3.9 or later.So if your OS isn't that upto date then I would say no.Also USB 1.0 isn't desirable.It would work but be incredibly slow in Mounting/Updating and so-on.USB 2.0 is the connection used on 1st/2nd gen Nano and 5th Gen iPod Video.Hope this is of some use.
Cheers,
John

Ipod works with USB 1.1, but not USB 2.0 (30GIG)

Has anyone had this issue? I plug my 30GIG iPod into a USB 2.0, and it says updating, do not disconnect for what seems like an eternity. Eventually, it pops up saying the ipod appears to be corrupted, restore to factory settings? I respond ok, and then it fails to restore. Tried multiple USB 2.0's, same thing.
Next, I pluged into my USB 1.1, and it pops up itunes (latest version) almost immediately, and shows the ipod, and allows me to xfer tunes immediately.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. I've tried reinstalling USB2.0 drivers, iTunes, iPod but cannot get it to work. It just shows up in the device manager as 'USB Mass storage device' with an exclaimation mark next to it. I've tried to update the drivers for the 'USB MAss storage device', however it just says that I've already got the most updated drivers for the device. I've succumbed to the 1.1 for now, but would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this situation!

Will new iPod work with old library???

For 18 months, I've had my beloved iPod mini. Alas, the time has now come to trade it in for a newer model. I have only one concern left. The iPod is notorious for its restrictions on users. I've had iTunes synched to my mini for the last year and a half. If I go out and buy an iPod video, will it work with my music library? If it doesn't, how can I get it to work? Lastly, I'll probably upgrade again when they improve the iPod video. Will IT, in turn, work, after having used the older version before it!?

That's good to hear. What has me worried is that my little brother recently bought an iPod of his mate. He tried synching it with my library and it just didn't register. Now, obviously, my new iPod will never have been linked to any other machine but still. However, my brother was able to sync his iPod with a different and fresh iTunes computer in my house

IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
- Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
- PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
What works well?
- All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
- iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
- iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
What doesn't works?
My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
- Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
- iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
- iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

Hello:
There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions.
If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly. *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

New iPod Touch with January Update Restore Question

Hi,
Few days ago i bought new iPod Touch with 1.1.3 software and January Update.
When I restore it I'll lose my January Update programs ? And if that happened what can I do to get them back ?
PS. Sorry for my poor english :P
Cheers

It was mentioned already in this thread. If you look at the package check the seriel number. If it ends with /B then that is the new model and it has the new applications that were provided in the Jaunary update already programmed into the iPod. If you restore you will not lose them.
If it ends with /A then it is an older model that required the January Update in order to get the applications on your iPod. If you restore then you will lose them but you don't need to purchase them again as your iTunes will keep track of the purchase for you.

Do not connect the Devices... is not advisable nor how it is done.

The Sync Process is via iTunes...

Tips for working with USB floppy drives

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on working with USB floppy drives in Archlinux.
One thing I've noticed is that trying to use mkfs.msdos on my USB floppy drive directly doesn't seem to result in a usable disk (it's mountable, but reports that I don't have enough space available to copy files), but if I use the command on an image file the same size as a floppy disk and then use dd to copy the blank image to my USB drive I get a disk that's perfectly usable. Anybody know what the deal is with that or how I might be able to successfully format a disk in fewer steps (other than keeping the blank images around and just using dd to format the floppies, haha)?
Also, I'd like to hear any other tips or tricks any of you have for working with USB floppy drives. They just seem so much more usable under Windows as opposed to Linux, and that disappoints me a little.

jmetal88 wrote:Okay, thanks guys. I haven't figured out the issue yet, but you're helping me narrow it down. I decided to run a df -h command after each try of formatting the disk this time. I tried the low-level ufiformat command followed by a mkfs.msdos on the device, using a 720k disk, and df -h showed 700k free on the file system. It's just not making the file system large enough (I believe the file I was trying to copy over was 710k or so). When I run mkfs.msdos on a 720k disk image and then dd the image over to the drive, df -h shows 713k free after mounting the drive. Any idea why mkfs.msdos isn't filling out the full 720k on the disk itself, but is on the image?
I would assume this happens because (as far as I can tell from skimming through the source over the course of a few minutes) mkfs.fat only applies floppy size heuristics to fd and lo devices -- your USB floppy drive is treated as a hard drive, and that leads to less-than-ideal default parameters. Run
fsck.fat -v
on the more spacious filesystem to figure out what options need to be set when you attempt formatting an actual disk. Or just make things easier by keeping newly-formatted blank disk images on hand so that dd and (maybe) ufiformat are all you need to worry about.

Do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

Sounds like you need a new battery. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for $79. A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive. Google for more places.

Does the new iPad work with adobe flash?

Does the new Ipad work with a version of adobe flash? I have read several articles, and I'm just more confused than when I started! I'm a newer Mac user, and I'm interested in the new iPad, but I don't know if I want it if it doesn't support internet pages that use adobe flash. Thanks for your help!!

Adobe eliminated its "mobile Flash" department. Android, Mobile Windows, IOS, WebOS ... everyone is out of luck.
