Transfering 14 gig of music with USB 1

They way I understand things is that if the hard drive is constantly spinning the battery life is significantly decreased. I have 14 gig of music and as USB 1 won't charge as it transfers I am worried that if I buy a new ipod I won't be able to transfer all my muisc before the battery runs dry. Am I being silly? Has anyone out there transfered a similiar amount of music via USB 1?

I'm considering the brand new white iPOD, but have similar doubts. I gripped one of the Apple reps at the Expo in London yesterday, and was given the following information:-
1. If you are using a MAC with USB 1, but also firewire, then use the firewire connection (a cable is available from Apple).
There is also a seperate charger available from Apple for use with the iPOD when you only have USB1 installed on your Mac. I find all this irritating, specially since I have a 12" Laptop and a circa 2002 iMAC (swivel screen). Neither machines have USB2.
2. I was told also that downloading from computer to iPOD via USB1 is deadly slow, and not worth the bother. Anyone got a totally realistic view about the download time from real experience. Thanks. Lance

  • Problems transferring music with USB 2.0

    I recently installed a USB 2.0 PCI card with 4 ports, the card installed fine and plugging my Nano into it was fine, however, when I try to transfer music onto the Nano it keeps freezing. It'll transfer maybe the first 2 or 3 tracks of an album and then stop. Clicking on 'Update iPod' means it'll do perhaps another 2 tracks and then it'll freeze again. I have to keep clicking on 'Update iPod' to eventually get all the songs moved over - it kinda defeats the object of using USB 2.0!!!
    I'm running SP 2 so thats not the problem and everything else that's connected to the new ports are running fine. Any ideas...anyone...please??!!

    Hi,
    what you could try is to reinstall the chipset driver because I think the USB is related to the chipset.
    In my opinion the upgraded Windows had changed the USB driver from Toshiba one to MS one. So the Port replicator is not recognized all times.

  • Syncing music with USB port 1.1

    I just got an iPod classic 160GB, but it doesn't communicate with my computer properly.
    I tried to put some songs to the new iPod, but after syncing 20 songs I got the error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "(iPod name)" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I called AppleCare to solve the problem, and the guy told me that I need to upgrade the USB port from 1.1 to 2.0.
    Does anybody know if I really need to upgrade my USB port to 2.0?
    I read some of the topics on this discussion page and some people were saying that the USB 1.1 works with iPod classics.
    I also want to know if any of the transfer cables which convert FireWire to USB2.0 works with iPods.
    I don't want to spend any more money to upgrade my computer to make it work with my iPod.
    (I had to upgrade OS)
    Please help me to get my iPod work!!

    The USB port on your Cinema is a port on the built-in hub in the display. It can't supply the power needed by the iPhone.

  • I am going bloody mad as three times now I have reloaded my iphone 4 with 30 gigs of music and when I even try and add a new album, it goes into massive sync mode and then looses the lot! I retore to earlier that day and practically nothing.

    I have now 3 times added nearly 30 gigs of music onto this **** Iphone 4, then when it decides by itself to sync it goes into a massive re-sync then looses the lot. I restore it and in iTunes It shows that the music is on my phone, but nothing works and then it reverts to about 60megs of music and the **** lot has gone again. I am really getting upset that I can spend 12 hours adding the music back on only for it all to disappear in 12 seconds and wont come back again. I have manage music and videos ticked and all the music is ticked in my library, I have tried un-ticking and re-ticking but it simply does not work. please can anyone help as I am at the point of binning Apple for Samsung as its happening to lots of people I know with nothing coming from Apple on why?
    Thanks
    Steve

    You have fallen for the great Verizon Wireless Lie, most customers don't use over 2Gb and its a better plan, and unlimited is unsustainable yada yada yada.
    However your choices were getting new devices for cheap so if you paid full price for your device at $700 each, you would have kept unlimited and paid no $30 upgrade fee. Per line.
    Now add up the additional cost of that data usage and it is way over the cost of what paying full price would have cost you.
    and being in a contract with an early termination fee it all adds up.
    Verizon claims unlimited data is unsustainable, but you can see its sustainable only when you get charged mucho bucks in $10-$15 overages per GB.
    Good Luck

  • HT1688 I have a honda civic with USB port which allows play back of my old iPhone 4 and 4s.  With the new iPhone 5 the radio shows the phone is conected but does not show any music content.

    I have a honda civic with USB port which allows play back of my old iPhone 4 and 4s.  With the new iPhone 5 the radio shows the phone is conected but does not show any music content.  Any Suggestions?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

    Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc.  Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files.  I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable.  She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem.  We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
    So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
    Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
    Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

    txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
    It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
    Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
    What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
    Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

  • I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7.  Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs.  It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

    I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7.  Now I cannot edit selected songs.  The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads).  Can anyone help?  I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

    It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.

  • Transferring music to usb

    I want to reset my computer to factory settings and I want to know if transferring my Itunes stuff onto my usb and then once my computer is reset will my music go back into my Itunes library once I reinstall it?

    yes.
    assuming that all your media files are in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to the USB drive.
    copy it back to the exact same location on the new installation and everything will be there.

    Sometimes the compatibility thing may vary. Even if the nokia website says that is not compatible with that device, they can be sure compatible each other.

  • 4th Gen iPod only works with usb - freezes with firewire

    After a recent iTunes upgrade my my 40 gig Gen 4 iPod started locking up and freezing my G4 and G5 when using firewire to transfer files until I unplugged the iPod.
    I found several threads from people with similar problems and tried all the suggestions (with the exception of "dropping" the iPod.)
    After a week of troubleshooting, I'm finally successfully transferring files using USB 1 - it also freezes with USB 2.
    This is the troubleshooting process I went through to arrive at the above conclusion:
    First did the 5Rs.
    Deleted and reinstalled iTunes
    Followed Mitch's suggestion for using Disk Tools to reformat the iPod (successfully)
    Ran some of the internal iPode diagnostic test and they indicate no problem with the drive or USB or firewire.
    Ruled out iTunes as the problem because I was having the same problem when I closed iTunes and just copied files directly from the desktop to the iPod. When doing the transfers in the Finder, the Finder would freeze/lock up and I'd have to reboot.
    Rules out the computer because the same thing happened with both G4 & G5.
    Ruled out something in the user profile because the same thing happened when using my wife's account.
    Ruled out the firewire cables because the same thing happened with two different firewire cables.
    I've seen several posts from people with similar problems but no solutions. Has anyone cracked this nut? It takes FOREVER to update 40 gig with USB
    Dual Processor G4 & G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 40 Gig 4th Gen iPod
    Dual Processor G4 & G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It looks like the answer to my problems was a bad hard drive. Sent it to the ipod doctor and after a $159 repair, I'm back in business http://nycipoddoctor.com/

  • HT1848 transfered ipod apps and music to library on mac, updated iPod, now want to transfer apps and music back to iPod.  How do I do it?

    I transfered apps and music from my ipod touch to my library on my mac before updating my ipod touch to version 6.0, now how do I get music and apps back on ipod touch.  I can see them in my library on my mac.

    Okay I finally fixed it.  I had to turn off wifi on ipad, connect ipad to computer with usb, unsync all music, deauthorize and then reauthorize my computer, and resync all music again!  What a hassle but I now have all my music on ipad again.

  • Time updating with usb 1.1.1 takes

    Hey all of you guys with usb 1.1.1 ports! I was wondering if anyone could give me a general estimate of how long the first sync takes. Thanks!

    It takes forever....
    My wife put about 5 gigs from her old computer and it took somewhere between 2-3 hours. I transferred 13 gigs and it took about 1.5 hours or so.
    Of course once it is synced it really isn't an issue.

  • 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
