Problems with my USB 2.0.4 card working with my ipod 3RD GEN

So I have a 3rd Generation ipod 15gigs and I wanted to install a USB 2 card in my Mac desktop (G4 Dual) since my fire ports have been giving me issues when I try to tranfer things to my ipod.
I then went out and purchased a (Dynex USB 2.0.4 Port PCI Host Adapter card) I installed it but when I hooked up my ipod using the proper cable to my computer it did not reconize it nothing showed up on my desktop and my itunes to did show that I had my ipod connectd also it would sometimes freeze my computer and also totally drain my ipod of its power even through it had full battery life prior.
To make sure it was not my ipod that had the problem I connected it to another computer(G5) USB port and it work perfect. I also tried installing the Dynex in a different slot in my G4 and still incounter th same issues
If anyone out there could help me it would be much appreciated is it my card or my computer, thanks.

Did you press the motherboard's reset button, after installing the card and before starting up the computer? It's possible that the USB controller chip used on the Dynex (a distributor of generic-brand components) USB 2.0 card doesn't interact well with your G4. The consensus of opinion in the Forums recommends a USB 2.0 card having an NEC controller chip, for the most trouble-free operation. I've used the IOGEAR USB 2.0 (2-port) card ($20 USD) without problems, but quirks related to specific connected devices may undoubtedly occur. You'll be better off returning the Dynex card and trying a different brand.

  • MSI K7N2-L usb 2.0 doesn't work with scanjet 4570c

    I have a MSI K7N2-L motherboard with WINXP and SP1 that doesn't work with Scanjet 4570C if I set USB in BIOS to 1.1+2.2.  Sometimes it locked up the PC or it showed streaks on the image.  It worked just fine if I set to USB 1.1.  Does anyone knows this is the problem with the MSI motherboard?  I'm sure it was not the Scanjet since it is USB 2.0 supported, and I'd tried another Scanjet and the problem was still the same.

    If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.
    besure you have only 8 wires connected no usboc
    Nice topic! 
    But usb 2.0 DOES work with 1.3, 1.4 and 1.52 BIOSes. Only after updating to 1.5 official one of the front panel ports (not all 2) start works as 1.1   

  • Will ATI Radeon HD 5800 card work with Premier Pro CS5 Mercury engine?

    Hi There:
    I've been using Premeier Elements 7 for the last 2 years and am about to buy Premeier Pro CS5. But having read the video card requirements I'm confused.
    Will my video card work with PP CS5 and the Mercury playback engine? My card is the ATI Radeon HD 5800 with 1 gig memory?
    The dealer specifically sold me that 18 months ago so I would be able to move to Premiere Pro with no problem. I have an Intel Core 17 with 10 gigs of ram and a great ASUS motherboard.
    Thanks,
    Rudy

    Hi Harm:
    Thanks for the reply. I checked my RAM and in fact it is 12 gigs. I got it put in 18 months ago when I bought the system. I had to use Windows XP back then. Anyway, I now need to change to Windows 7 and Premiere Pro.
    I had no idea back then that I was buy the wrong video card for Premiere Pro.
    I am not familiar with the terms you and the other two respondants have used in your replies, and I have no idea what it means that my system will run 10 times slower than if I had a NVIDIA, whatever it means it sounds bad. Which is really too bad because I spent a small fortune buying one of the fastest card available at the time.
    What do you suggest I now do?
    1) Just use my system as is? It sounds like my performance will be terrible, so should I really go this route? I will be editing MPG2 codec from a Canon XF100 shot at 50 mbps.
    2) Should I try to sell off my ATI card and buy one of the recommended cards?
    3) Should I just go to the Sony Vega Pro systems?
    Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rudy

    I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program,  any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
    Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

    My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

    What kind of Mac to you have?  This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire.  If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
    ETA:  Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go.  You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

  • I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install iphoto 9.2.3 update...it says it has successfully updated - then on opening says: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.

    I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install the new iphoto 9.2.3 update.
    I have installed it several times both from the appstore and from Apple Support downloads...it says it has 'successfully updated' - then on opening iphoto, a dialogue box pops up and says:
    iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.

    Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
    Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
    Thanks tons...

    Thanks Terence,
    I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
    I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
    This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
    Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
    I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
    I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

  • Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD..

    Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD?

    I have a friend that made the mistake of buying a (new) non-Mac edition ATI card. Not the card you've specified, this was a few years ago, but everything worked for him, with OSX. His biggest issue was the loss of the ADC connection on the card, getting DVI connectors only instead. That means a trip to Apple to get an ADC-DVI converter, mine was about £100 for my second display. My friend payed slightly less. At the end of the day, it would have been cheaper for him to pay the £30 extra for the Mac edition.

  • Will an onboard garaphic card work with the lates version of photoshop or do I have to have a dedicated graphic card

    Will an onboard graphic card work with the lates version of photoshop or do I have to have a dedicated garphic card

    Most likely you should be fine.  Some of the early i7s might not support it (did the first i7 core have integrated GPU?), but any of the last couple are fine.  The nice thing is, that you can always add an aftermarket GPU if you need to, so give it a shot.
    I have a Haswell i7 (4770k) in my desktop PC, and it's more than enough.  I did a lot of research when I built my PC and my conclusion at the time was that a GPU doesn't offer a sizable performance boost unless you buy a really nice GPU ($400+).  The integrated GPU can run all the functions of CS6.
    My laptop is an older i5.  Not sure which, but I think Sandy Bridge.  I can notice the difference in process times between the integrated GPU and discrete (AMD).  But only on certain heavy filters and when working with big composites (~2 gb files).  But that's an i5 and and older one.  That said, the integrated GPU is far more stable, so I usually just put up the lag instead of having the AMD GPU crash my computer.

  • Powerbook 1400 do any wireless PC cards work with it?

    Hi I have a Powerbook 1400 (most of you know that by now!) anyway I just got it more RAM (it now has a total of 48MB) and installed OS 9.1. Ive been seeing wireless PC Cards on eBay real cheap for only 10 bucks Buy it Now. Will these cards work with this powerbook? And is it true that the PB 1400 only supports 16bit PC cards?
    Thanks

    Apple Rules
    Yes. It is true that the 1400s are 16-bit NuBus machines. Internally, they lack any means of 32-bit translation, and it cannot be added. Their only means of 'wireless' communication is through the IR port, and that is not easily adapted to your purpose. They are capable of ethernet 'wired' communication through an internal NIC, or a NIC PC card in a PCMCIA slot. And that is it.

  • I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?

    I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?
    Thanks!

    You didn't mention the kind of track in GB you are trying to create, but if you are connecting the keyboard with a guitar chord to the Tascam, you will need to set up a Real Instrument Track in GB to hear anything. If your keyboard has a midi out, use a midi cable to the midi input of the Tascam, create Software Instrument Track, and you will hear something. But with a guitar chord, it won't send the right signal to a Software Instrument Track. The headphone jack in the Tascam monitors the signal coming back to it out of GB (if you choose the US-122 as your monitor in GB's preferences), so you wouldn't hear your keyboard if the track is not set up correctly. It could be the drivers, but since you didn't mention the type of keyboard or the type of GB track, I thought that might be a possible answer as well.

  • IPOD 3rd Gen not recognized by itunes on firewire but it does on USB

    Hi,
    I have a 3rd gen Ipod (the one with the buttons) since its release date.
    It worked perfectly with FIREWIRE.
    Months ago i restore it and now it's a mess.
    I have to connect it via USB to sync it with my itunes library, to
    delete music, to add new one, or use it as a hard disk. But,
    the battery doesn't charge (actually the battery now only lasts for 1 hour)
    If i want to charge the battery i have to connect the ipod to the computer
    via FIREWIRE, but it doesn't get recognized by itunes, so i cant update
    it.
    I wanted to restore the ipod but if i connect it via USB, itunes send me a message
    that i have to connect it via firewire in order to restore it. But if I connect it
    via FIREWIRE i can't restore it because ITUNES doesn't recognize it.
    I hope someone can help me.
    thanks a lot
