Raid controller of 2nd generation raid in 1st generation raid useable?

hi,
we have an old xserve raid (1. generation), where one of the raid controllers doesn't work anymore (can't successfully boot).
we also have a spare box with a raid controller, that we originally bought for our xserve raid 2nd generation - can we use it with our 1. generation xserve raid and are there any things to consider?
both controllers looks identical, besides the different shape of the fibrechannel-port/connectors.
thanks for your help in advance!
regards,
ferdinand

Help me out on this one, you guys are saying that my old raid, I can swap out the 2gb/s controller and replace a 4gb/s controller with no problems?
I'm planning to get the new Mac Pro with the fiber channel card, can I use the same cables of my 2gb/s setup today?
If I decide not to go for the 4gb/s controller, can the new 4gb/s fiber channel card work with a 2gb/s controller?
Your insight on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jorge

    Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • My iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation don´t show up anymore in iTunes after upgrade to iTunes 10.5 and MacOsX 10.6.8 Snow. What can I do??

    I was using iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation together with iPod Shuffle 1st generation with inferior versions of iTunes and MacOS X without any problem. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, the iPod Shuffle still appears in iTunes normally, but the iPods don´t appear. Its not a problem of the USB because because it happens with two different USB cables which worked just fine before. Any idea how I could get the iPods working again?? Thanks a lot!!!

    I have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen, MacOS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5, and my iPod still works when I plug it in.
    So it's not the software, because mine still works. Do your iPods have a lock on them? If so, try unlocking them and then plugging them in, usually when your iPod has a passcode lock it won't show up in iTunes until you unlock it.

  • Which is better the 1st g or 2nd generation ipod touch

    I like to know which is better and last longer and wont have much issues
    A. 1st g ipod touch
    or
    B. 2nd genertion ipof touch
    I like to know I dont know which one I want, and I like to hear it from a person who know what there talking about and who knows alot about ipod touch
    reply back real soon
    I need to know

    Hello,
    It really depends on your own wants/needs. When the price of the refurbished touch dropped down to $199, I went ahead and purchased it, and so far, I don't regret it or want the 2nd generation (which I have seen and played with).
    The main differences with the 2nd generation include a built-in Nike+ receiver (Nike+ is pretty much an iPod-integrated pedometer that works with just the Nano so far), external volume controls, and an internal speaker for "casual listening" (meaning that it doesn't really have that great of volume/audio quality, but the headphones are just as good as any other iPod).
    I don't think at this stage we can determine which will have a longer, overall life expectancy. After all, the 2nd generations have only been around since the 9th of this month, and the 1st generations are roughly a year old at this point. Not really a fair comparison.
    Regarding issues you might experience... several users on this forum have reported Wi Fi issues with the 2nd generation, but, keep in mind that this is generally a support forum, so most of what you see on here will be issues looking for resolution. I haven't had any issues with the 1st generation that I haven't been able to solve by a simple reset.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Do I have a 1st or 2nd Generation Nano?

    help - can anyone tell me how i know if my new nano 2gb black with a silver back is 1st or 2nd generation? I bought it direct from apple as reconditioned a couple of weeks ago

    You have a First Generation Nano.
    The Second Generation nano's color covers the entire unit, front and back (whatever that color may be).
    For the first generation nanos, there is a silver backing, while the main color is on the front of the iPod.
    Also, a second way of telling is that you can only get black Nanos in 8 GB size, now. Whereas, the first generation black nanos used to (you can get them refurbished now, of course) come in 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB.
    That's not the case now with the current Nanos, so there's your second reason why you have a First Generation.

  • Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation

    Is it normal that Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation? I want to play music synced in my ATV 1st gen. to a nymber of speakers in the house. In the list of speakers I can see Apple TV itself and my two Airport Expresses 1st generation but not my Apple TV 2nd generation or my Airport express 2nd generation. For the ATV 2nd gen. I found a solution: when I enable the Airplay setting of XBMC which is installed on my ATV 2nd generation, then AirTunes in ATV 1st gen. sees the speaker "XBMS (Apple-TV)". Itunes can in my Macbook pro can use Airplay with all my speakers, i.e. ATV 1st gen., ATV 2nd gen., Airport Express 1st gen., Airport Express 2nd gen.

    Last time I checked ATV1 could not use Airtunes to send audio to an AppleTV 2 or 3 - highly annoying as you think they would have kept backwards compatibiility for audio, but it seems Airplay is more than a superset of Airtunes.

  • Airport express identification and 1st and 2nd generation  connectivity

    Hi
    I have three questions regarding airport express
    1. How do i know what model airport express i have? i'm not sure if i bought before or after 2008 if it operates with 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g/Draft N
    2. Second question is if I have the 802.11a/b/g/Draft N 1st generation can i connect it to a 2nd generation airport express to extent the range of my wifi?
    3. If yes, should i connect 2nd generation to router and then use 1st generation to extend the range? or vice versa
    Thank you in advance for your help

    How do i know what model airport express i have? i'm not sure if i bought before or after 2008 if it operates with 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g/Draft N
    Get out those reading glasses or a magnifying glass and locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    A1084 or A1088 are older "b/g" versions of the AirPort Express.....not really compatible with much of anything anymore, since they do not have a setting or capability to "extend a wireless network".
    A1264 is the 1st Gen 802.11n version.....which will work with the new Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks operating systems.
    Second question is if I have the 802.11a/b/g/Draft N 1st generation can i connect it to a 2nd generation airport express to extent the range of my wifi?
    Yes, but since the 1st Gen Express is not dual band, it will only be able to extend one band from the newer 2nd Gen Express.....probably the 2.4 GHz band since that is the stronger signal. If you want or need to extend dual bands, then you will need two 2nd Gen Express devices.
    If yes, should i connect 2nd generation to router and then use 1st generation to extend the range? or vice versa
    2nd Gen would be connected to the router and the 1st Gen would extend.
    That way, you will at least get dual bands from the 2nd Gen.  If you reverse the process.....remember that the 1st Gen is single band....the 2nd Gen will only extend one band....and you will lose some of the performance capability of the device.

    Hello Jane Benstock,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
    Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.

  • Can I restore 1st generation data to 2nd generation iTouch?

    My teens 1st gen iTouch was stolen but good thing is a recent sync and backup is on her Mac so we have everything. I just got her a 2nd generation iTouch and before I do anything I wanted to ask as I know I can easily mess this up.
    When I hook it up for the first time and I assume it asks to restore or treat as new what should I do to ensure her purchased music and apps get put on her new iTouch?
    Thanks for helping an old guy out here to look good to save his daughters iPod data. :O)

    Thank you for the reply. I also found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    At the bottom of the article it has:
    Restoring your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a previous backup
    If you upgrade or otherwise replace your device with a newer device, you may be able to restore the previous backup to the new device. For upgrading from the original iPhone to iPhone 3G, see these instructions. You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device.
    Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new device, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
    I will try your suggestions and am sure all will be fine.

  • Difference between Ipod mini 1st Generation & 2nd Generation?

    Wondering the difference between a 1st generation and 2nd generation ipod mini? If you had a choice which would you pick and why? thanks for your help!

    Hi harpo,
    see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300850 for a full description and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688#ipodmini for an illustration of visual differences.
    As well as the differences already mentioned, they came with different accesories (the original model came with a FW charger and FW cable as well as the usb cable) . The original model can also be used with earlier versions of OSX than the later one.
    Cheers

  • IPhone: 1st generation vs. 2nd generation

    Are there any significant difference between the 1st generation and 2nd generation iPod touch? Just wondering.

    Yes.
    1. Internal speaker, so you can hear without headphones.
    2. Physical volume buttons.
    3. Support for microphone, which will work with Apple's new [In-Ear Headphones|http://www.apple.com/ipod/inearheadphones>
    4. Comes with software version 2.1.1
    5. Contoured shape like the iPhone 2g.

  • What is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation of the Itouch?

    Can someone tell me the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation of the itouch? I'm looking to upgrade from my nano to a 32gb Itouch.

    The speaker is a big plus. Who wants to dig up their headphones just to play a quick game of Lux Touch or play with your light sabre without anyone else hearing the sound effects :)? The lack of a volume control is also a major complaint of IPT 1G users. The only thing that should swing you back to the 1G is the iPod accessories you already have that may be rendered obsolete.
