Using iPod Hi-Fi with Digital Audio (Coaxial) Cable

I have a Bandridge Digital Optical & Coaxial Audio Switch Box which allows me to connect multiple devices to output sound through my ipod hifi via digital optical or digital coaxial cable(it actually converts from optical to coaxial as well). The problem is all devices connect perfectly through the optical ports on the switch box however my PC only has a digital(S/PDIF) coaxial port so I use a digital coaxial cable for this but no sound is output through my ipod hifi? Can the ipod hifi output sound from a digital coaxial source?

With what you currently have it is impossible to do what you want.
However, take a look at http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/ .
I have seen many plaudits for this on the boards, but have no experience with it whatsoever!

CD-Rom drive with digital audio extraction support

I am looking to get a Zen Micro for my teenage daughter. The tech specs require a CD-Rom dri've with digital audio extraction support. My older IBM Aptiva, vintage 999, meets all the other requirements. How can I know whether the CD-ROM dri've will work? We are new to MP3 type players.

It only needs this to create MP3s from your CDs, and there are many alternati've programs that will do this. I would suggest taking a look at the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net and trying?a couple of the programs there. If they work, chances are that the Creative software will work (but you can always use these as an alternati've).

I purchased an used iPod nano 4th with many many songs on it,but when i hooked the usb cable to try and change the name,something went wrong.i had to reset it,thinking my music would still be there,but i lost everything! Is there any way to get these back

I purchased an used iPod Nano 4th.with many,many,many songs and albums on it,but when i plugged the usb cable into my laptop(i am a new comer to computer) i thought i was changing the name and thought i was syncing but something went wrong and everything was gone! is there any way possible to get these back? Please I need Help!!! Thank you!

Was the music purchased via your iTunes account and/or did you buy it from other sources or copy it from your own CDs, or did the music belong to the previous owner ? If the music was yours then you can sync it back to the iPod via your computer's iTunes. If the music is not still on your computer then have you got a backup of it ? If not then for iTunes purchases you might be able to re-download it depending on which country you are in. If the music was put on the iPod by the previous owner then you will need to buy your own copies of it.

LaCie DVR compatible with Digital Audio?

I'm looking for a FW DVD/CD burner that will be compatible with my G4 Digital Audio, 466 MHz. Requirements for the LaCie d2 DVD FW dual layer with LightScribe state 500 MHz. Will the drive work even though my speed is slightly slower? I would also like to use it with my PowerBook.
Is the Pioneer DVR 111D a better choice? I know the LaCie has the full version of Toast.

Hi!
Just to add to what japamac has advised-
I have a working Pioneer burner installed in my B&W 400MHz G3 tower (768MB RAM, currently running OS X 10.3.9). I don't have LightScribe, which may (or may not) be why LaCie specifies a 500MHz minimum processor speed.
Frankly, I'm somewhat puzzled about the LaCie tech's remark concerning your system maybe not supporting any DVD writer. That's simply inaccurate. I'm sure that there are plenty of other members here using various brands of DVD burners in Macs that are running slower than 466 MHz. Please know, however, that many software applications (iLife included) have minimum processor speed requirements. Perhaps that is to what the tech was referring, or perhaps it's specific to LightScribe technology...
I use a NEC ND-3550A burner in my QS Mac without issue. However, I tend to agree with japamac about sticking with Pioneer as a choice you won't be disappointed making.
Gary
ps to japamac: BTW, the Pioneer DVR-112D (18x) is also now available here in the US. Meritline currently has them for $33. I haven't heard much about it here in the US before now.

Using iPod Classic (80GB) with a Firewire dock

I gave my daughter a new 80GB iPod Classic to replace her 2003 era iPod 15GB, dock connector (with the 4 buttons). Her 12" PowerBook G4 doesn't have USB2, so I was wondering if it is safe to use her old Firewire docking station with the new iPod Classic? I would assume so for two reasons: 1) the dock connector is mechanically the same and 2) I have read that the iPod Classic will still charge from the Firewire power pins. Is this correct? I'd rather she not blow it up right out of the box.

You will be able to use it to charge and output audio through the dock's out port, but that's it. It will not connect to the mac via firewire at all.
An iPod classic can be connected to USB 1.1 but it may or may not sync at all and if it does, it will be painfully, hopelessly slow. You may want to consider syncing the iPod with a different mac... you can use a Firewire hard drive or Target Disk Mode to transfer or copy her library to another machine.
On the upshot, a new aluminum Macbook is expected to hit the market in time for Christmas...

10.4.9 - Major audio problems with digital audio

I have a Digital XMPCR radio with Edirol MA-20D Digital speakers
I now have major audio problems, the audio is garbled and doesn't sound as strong. Kinda like a FM radio in a car that is loosing signal when you are traveling.
I use this XMPCR for a couple of hours a day and had no problems this morning prior to installing the update.
I have a XMPCR that was modified for Toslink/Digital connection. I connect the XMPCR to my Mac Pro 2.66 with toslink cables and connect my Edirol MA-20D digital speakers with toslink cables. I use Amoeba's "LineIn" for audio pass through.
I thought it might me the FTDIUSBSerialDriver so I reinstalled it, did not fix the problem.
I also have a real bad "buzzing" sound going on in the background. When I quit JXM (the application for changing channels on the XMPCR), the "buzzing" goes away but I have a rapid ticking sound coming out of the speakers until I quit LineIn.
Anyone else have any problems with their digital audio input/outputs?

I dont use the digital XMPCR radio, but I use Digital Performer to record audio and MIDI and I use exclusively the Built-In Audio input and Output and everything is working fine after the 10.4.9 Upgrade.

Using ipod charge adapter with an iphone?

I was wondering if the ipod charge cable is compatiable with my iphone and vice versa? The man at att said no. What can someone else tell me about this question?

The chargers and cables for all iPods that use a USB dock cable are compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The only incompatible chargers/cables are the older FireWire based ones. Note that some car chargers for iPods actually use the FireWire pins in the dock connector for power, and thus do not work with the iPhone 3G or 3GS. It won't hurt to try, you'll just get a message on the phone that 'charging is not supported with this accessory'.

Loudness of music varying by itself when using iPod in iPad with other app

The loudness of music started varying up and down itself when listening to music using iPod and using other app simultaneously in iPad. Does anyone have got the same problem? Is it a hardware or software problem? How to fix it? Many many thanks

I agree, this is a huge let down. I didn't realize I was uploading low quality photos and people commented that my quality has gone down... so much for using this as a business expense for photography. I know people argue (just upload it from your pc) Well, this is a "retina display" High res, yadda yadda... so why isn't the app thats designed specifically for it?
Anyways, seems like an easy fix...
Strange.. all the ads are in high res...

If you are recording the 909 via it's DigOut (If they have them), do errors stop if you use it with analog and unplug the dig. cable? Who is the master (the digital device which all others follow for sample accurate timing).

How do I use ipod 5th classic with new itunes

how do I use my old ipod classic 5th generation with the latest itunes software?

The same way as before...
If the new look of iTunes is confusing, it may look more familiar to you if you show the sidebar. It is hidden by default to streamline the look and feel.
From the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. With the sidebar not hidden, iTunes mostly works like it did before.

Doesthe car's AUX input work with oter devices?

If headphones work then if the car's plug is fully inserted into the iPod, that is all you have to do with the iPod.

Use the apple tv with jack audio

Hey there,
I would like to connect my AppleTv2 to my home cinnema set, but my home cinema set has a jack port and not optical audio.
Is there a transformer, so that i can use my home cinema set with my ATV2?
Thanks

Yep, I updated. I've had no problems and I like the new OS. However, since my MacBook Pro is pre-2011, I had to downlod Air Parrot to be able to use the MacBook in conjunction with Apple TV. Everything now works well.
