Syncing with Firewire not supported?

Is it just me or is it crazy to release an iPod with a larger hard disk capacity and then take away the faster option of syncing with Firewire and only allowing it via USB?
Anyone got any guesses how long it will take to fully load a new 80Gb iPod now?
Are Apple going to change this or shall I just take it back to the store and stick with my old one?

This topic has been discussed in great detail, many times before, dating back to October of 2005 with the release of the original 5th Gen iPod.
If you search for Firewire in this forum, you'll be presented with hundreds of posts which answer any Firewire related questions or concerns you might have.
There is really no need to begin a new topic about this.

OVI Suite 2.0 doesn't sync with Lotus Notes!

I am disgusted with the new OVI 2.0! First it keeps bugging me to download and install it. Next I found out that it doesn't support sync with Lotus Notes. Unlike my Nokia PC Suite v 7.0, it doesn't sync at all with Lotus Notes.
Even worst, Nokia claimed that OVI Suite is the only application available from them.
What am I to do with my calendar and contacts entries on my Notes then? I will not hesitate to switch to a different mobile phone maker if Nokia doesn't fix this problem!

Hi, recommendation is to use Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 application for using Nokia device with Lotus Notes. Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 supports syncing email, contacts and calendar over the air with Lotus Notes servers.
That's recommended way to sync Nokia device's with Lotus Notes.
The Lotus Notes Traveler might be recommended, though I am working in a company that provides Lotus Notes Traveler it is not an alternative for me, since:
a. The company does not pay the data traffic costs on my phone, so I must cover the cost of use of Traveler from my own pocket.
b. Traveler have impractical limitations in the range of how long in the future calendar data is sync'ed.
Now, that is my situation, but not all companies does provide or plan to provide their employees with Lotus Notes Traveler, but they allows their employees to choose their phones themselves. You can say I am just being difficult, but they who have no alternatives are not. For them it is Nokia being difficult.
The current solution for most of us is to continue using Nokia PC Suite until it is time for a new phone, and then change to another mobile phone provider, if Nokia still has no new solution for sync'ing with Lotus Notes.
It is not wise of Nokia to remove a feature from its software that have made people loyal so far, and changing to other phones is, as we all know, easy, and Nokia can not afford to lose more customers. As customers most of us can, however, easily live without Nokia. I abandoned Ericsson some ten years ago as they did not provide new features and functions as Nokia then did. Now it is Nokia that discontinues features and functions and is slow to implement new ones.
With the exception of the calendar and contacts, which can be sync'ed as long as the PC Suite works, the Nokia backup solution does not backup much I can not backup by using the memory card and a computer (and/or the USB cable), and it will be a simple matter to drop that back into a mobile phone from another provider, and sync my calendar and contacts into it as well.
I believe Nokia employees reading these discussions should forward their concern to their colleagues and superiors at Nokia, and I know the culture in many Finnish companies implies a relatively flat structure and allows for good contact along the lines of command in the companies, so I believe that can be done.
I would like to be able to continue using Nokia, but I am more dependent on features and functionality than brand.

Can I restore my Notes from an iCloud back-up? if I synced with the Notes "off" in the iCloud settings?

I synced with the Notes "off" position in the iCloud settings since I didn't realize I had to specifically turn anything "on" to be synced. I had to wipe my iPhone for another issue and restored my contacts, etc, from my most recent iCloud back-up. Can I go back to the back-up and retrieve my Notes, or were they never sent to the cloud to begin with? If I can't, is there ANY way to get them back? And if not, can they be hacked by anyone wince they have all kinds of data that could be used for Bad Things.

I restored from iCloud, although the Notes thing was still "off'. I only just turned it on now, so if I re-restore, will I get my Notes back?
Thanks

What's up with Safari not supporting United States Postal Service web actions since the update???

What's up with Safari not supporting the United States Postal Service web apps since the last update?

Exactly what web apps? Did you see them at the Mac App Store? Or can you post a link to where you saw them please.
Or are you talking about an iPhone or iPad with iOS?

I recently did a "over the air" sync with my notes to my email account and when i did i didnt get back all my notes, could the other notes be in another location?

Go to Settings>iCloud and set up the iCloud account you were using before by singing in with the same Apple ID. Then turn the data you were syncing with your iCloud account back to On, and if prompted, choose merge.

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

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.

HTC TB with Ford SYNC USB - "HUBS NOT SUPPORTED"

Anyone else set up their Thunderbolt with Ford Sync over USB connection? I am unable to get it to work. I get "HUBS NOT SUPPORTED" on the SYNC screen no matter what setting I use on the TB. Bluetooth works fine but the audio quality is horrible. This is why I'm trying to get USB to work.

I've had a similar issue and I haven't found a resolution to the problem. However, when connecting with bluetooth, the quality is much better if you turn the volume all the way up on your media device -- that way it's sending the most powerful signal to the car. Then control your audio volume through your car for best results. Hope this helps you until htc (or verizon) comes out with a fix to the problem.

Touch not syncing with firewire...

First gen ipod touch used to sync with both my firewire and USB cables
now it does not synce but still charges with firewire...
was this killed in an update?

The iPod Touch line has NEVER synced using Firewire. Firewire syncing was dropped on the release of the 5th Generation Video iPods and the original nanos, long before the Touch came out.

I can't sync with FireWire port and I can't charge with USB port!!

Hi. I've a old model of iPod (M9244Y). After the last update, my iPod does sync with the FireWire port.
I tried with another PCs and Mac but it does work. Finaly I buyed an USB cable and this one syncs but not charge.
I've restored to early versions of iPod Updaters but it does not work again. Can I do somethig to fix it?
Why I can't sync with the FireWire port?
Please help me, I can't live without iPod, I can't live without music!!!

Do you have other Firewire devices? Do they work? Could be the FW ports are not working right.
First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.

BlackBerry Media Sync - Operating system not supported ?

I downloaded BB Media Sync & when I went to install it came up with error message that the operating system was not supported. According to requirements listed, I meet ALL the criteria. Below is the info on my computer & Curve. If anyone can help I will be grateful.
Windows XP, MCE 2002, Service Pack 3
2 GB RAM, 170 GB drive space available
iTunes version 7.6
BlackBerry Desktop version 4.5, Device 4.2.2.180
Curve model 8320 w/ 4 GB media card (T-Mobile)
Thanks, Rick

I have an almost identical setup for both PC and Desktop 4.5. I am with Verizon, but I don't see that affecting anything.
I know it's pretty basic, but have you removed the software through setting on the PC and tried downloading and reinstalling?
Just a thought.

Ovi suite can't sync with Lotus Notes, as PC Suite...

I have read somewhere that at the end, OVI suite will replace PC Suite.
I have uinstalleed PC suite and put OVI Suite and I cannot see a way to sync with my mail application (Lotus Notes 8.x)?
This was possible with PC Suite. Is this possible with OVI Suite, or do I need to keep both (OVI suite and PC Suite) installed ?
KIn that Case, PC Suite should continue its life supporting Lotus Notes mail ... ?
Thank you !

I would like to ask NOKIA if there will be any advance in support of Lotus Notes synchronization with Nokia OVI ?
Normally new version means better functionality not less.
For lot of users is enough to synchronize calendar one a day without Internet connection, locally using USB or Bluetooth.
Could NOKIA inform their users ( I support about 100) that NOKIA will not support it?
Should we find out another brand of mobiles to have functionality we need and we were used to have?
Thank you very much for your info

Calendar sync with exchange not working

I connect my iMac to my corporate email using exchange and every few weeks I have to remove th account and add it again innorder for the calendar to update. Anyone have a fix for this?

the new iphone does not sink with outlook 2003 and my sync with mac
is far far less than perfect (300 out of 2500 contacts sync). The iphone techs tell me this problem is universal. I sure didn't get this information when I bought the phone. The apple techs for cannot fix these problems. The software seems flawed.
