Using G5 iPod Video with older Firewire cable

I have an older iPod, the 15GB model that used the Firewire cable with the dock connector, but I just purchased a new 60GB iPod Video. It comes with an USB cable and not a firewire one, but I already have the power brick and stuff that uses my Firewire cable. Can I use my older cable with my new iPod Video eventhough it warns me when I plug it in?

You can use the firewire cable to charge the new iPod, but you can't use it to sync content onto your new iPod.
The power brick with firewire cable will charge the new iPod without any problems at all.

  • Is it OK to charge the ipod battery with a firewire cable?

    I find I can connect my 60GB black ipod photo/video via a firewire cable to an electric plug that came with a prior ipod and plug it into an outlet to charge it.
    But is this OK to do or can it cause some problem with the ipod?

    It's ok and works fine.

    Hello,
    You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
    We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

  • Syncing iPod Video with Firewire

    I was wondering why we're unable to sync our music onto our iPod video's via Firewire? I recently needed to erase my iPod and reinstall my library. I had over 9400+ songs, which took over 24 hours to sync. Why can't music be added via Firewire? Thanks
    Ted

    The 5th Gen iPod does not have the necessary firewire controller hardware in it, which makes firewire data transfer impossible.

  • Convert DV File to iPod Video with Chapters

    Hi All,
    My question is simple. I have a project in FCP Suite that I want to export to an iPod with chapters. I subscribe to Podcasts that have chapters in them such as Photoshop TV.
    I have exported to a DV stream from the timeline, and viewed the DV file in QuickTime player to verify that the chapters are in fact still there which they are. When converting from DV, what do I need to do to convert to a format suitable for an iPod Video with the chapters still intact so I can easily skip around on my iPod like a DVD player can. Nothing I do seems to carry the chapter markers over in the conversion process.

    Michael (and George)-
    We've been creating the same m4v files with similar software to George's (FC5 and Compressor2) and while we can place chapter markers in the m4v file, and that file will acurately use the markers when played in QuickTime on the computer, once the file is sent to Video iPod, the markers are not very accurate, missing the marked frame by up to 2 sec. Has it been your experience when using this feature in Compressor 3 that these markers are spot on? Would certainly appreciate your input on this,

  • How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

  • Using Windows 8.1 With Older Domain Controllers

    Is there any document that would specify types of incompatibility we might expect when using Windows 8.1 with older domain controllers, either Windows 2000 or Windows 2003?    
    I assume at minimum that these older domain controllers would not have group policies that are able to support the full security policy feature set of Windows 8.1?    For such cases, how do we configure security policy on those 8.1 domain member
    computers?   Would we use LocalGPO.wsf to import a local security policy, then join the computer to the domain to override just the settings that are supported by the domain controller and windows 8.1 in common?

  • Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

    I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection.  Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi?  I won't have my computer with me.
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

    I'm looking at buying a Ipod Mini, but I was told that it might not work with the chip in my running shoes from Nike! Is there anyone who knows if this is true or not!!

    No. Only the iPod nanos and the second generation iPod touch are compatible with it.

    "It" being the iPod Classic I assume.
    The iPod Classic does not have Bluetooth.
    If the Bose wireless function is Bluetooth, then you could by a Bluetooth transmitter, designed for the Apple 30-pin dock connector. That takes the output from the iPod and sends it via Bluetooth. Power for the transmitter is taken from the iPod.
