Using "older" generic accessories with 3rd G nano

I have discovered that even relatively new accessories such as FM transmitters for iPods (car) and speakers with a base, do not fit the new nano. Is anyone aware of any potential "danger" in using these accessories despite the fact that the adaptors to firmly hold the new nano do not exist?

It should work just fine.

Using original power adaptor with new iPod Nano

Hi all,
I was wondering whether it's possible to use my new iPod Nano (3rd Gen) with the old USB Apple power adaptor from my first generation iPod Nano.
Thanks in advance,
Stu

Does this hold true for old FireWire power adapters for old iPods as well? I have an iPod Nano (3Gen), along with the USB cable that was included when purchased, but no power adapter was included. I'd really like to use an old FireWire cable and adapter from an older iPod model with this new Nano, so I can charge it when I'm away from my computer. (more importantly, I don't want to have to go and buy ANOTHER power adapter with a USB connection...)

TS1538 I am using windows 7 and my 3rd gen nano is not recognized in itunes. I have followed all online troubleshooting to no avail. My ipod is recognized by windows but does not appear in itunes.

Scosche earphones that work with 3rd gen Nano

The original earphones that came with my 3rd generation 8 GB Ipod Nano recently got destroyed and I'm looking to buy a replacement set. I'd like to upgrade to a set with better sound quality and in the in-ear style that blocks out ambient noise. I've heard really good things about the Scosche IDR655m but I notice that in their compatibility listing they only list the Nano 5th generation.
All I'm really looking for is great sound and the noise-blocking feature of the in-ear style. I really don't care if the remote or mic features work. I didn't have them on my previous set and I don't mind having to skip songs or increase/decrease volume by messing with the actual Ipod.
What I'm wondering is...would the Scosche IDR655m still work and give me good sound quality and ambient noise reduction on a 3rd gen Nano? Or is there another more basic Scosche product that you would recommend that would still give me all of the great sound on a Nano 3rd gen but without all of the "bells and whistles" of the remote and mic features?

Could be. Are the phones you want to use the kind with a mic and button (like you would use with a smart phone)? I bought some V-Moda headphones to use with a Nokia phone, and thought I could use the button to answer the phone, but every time I plugged them in, the phone would think I was trying to dial a number. The phones didn't give me any problem with my iPod Classic 160, but it was an older one. If that's what you use, maybe try some more standard phones to see.
Maybe not the problem, but all I could think of.

Nike+ compatible with 3rd Generation Nano

Hello ...I have been using Nike+ on my 2nd Generation Nano for just over a year with no problems ...unexpectedly I have got my hands on a 3rd Generation Nano ...my question is can I use the same Nike+ kit with the 3rd Generation Nano? ...or have the Nike+ kits been updated therefore meaning I'd have to buy a new one?

There are a couple of different model numbers out on the packaging from nike and apple.
With that said, both will work. There should not be any problem.
Hope this helps.

Using new lightning accessories with iPad3

I have spotted the new '30 pin to lightning adaptor' on the Apple Store for iPad 4 owners who want to use older accessories.
What about iPad 3 owners who want to use any new accessories that come with the new lightning connector?
Are Apple going to provide an adaptor that is backward compatible too?
Many thanks.

Can I use windows Me/98 with my ipod nano and I need itunes help??!!

Hey!!,
Ok so I just recieved my Ipod nano today from the post man! and I want to use it with windows Me/98 is that possible?
I also downloaded the newest version of itunes and it said that "itunes requires that your computer is running windows
2000 or windows XP".Can I use a later version of itunes with me ipod nano and where can I download it from ?!
someone please help me Im dying to use my ipod nano!!

You cannot use iTunes under Windows 98/ME. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these and I don't know if any support the new iPod nanos, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Music Store, so unless you upgrade, you won't be fully supported and will not be able to purchase tracks from the iTMS.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

Pictures in iPhoto not syncing with 3rd gen Nano

Hi, I posted this in the iPod discussions area also but thought someone here may have the answer.
Hi all. When I go to sync pictures in iPhoto to my 4gig 3rd gen Nano, not all the picture are recognized. One album with 30 pics in it, only 3 are synced. this is happening in iTunes even before I hit the sync button. I have 1650 pictures in the total library but only 1495 are seen by iTunes and the Nano. Any thoughts ? thanks in advance.

I confirm this problem.
Since I have a iPod Classic and for a few days a iPod nano 3rd gen, I can pre-sets station on the 80GB and not on the nano.
I suspect that the problem is not coming from the radio accessory but the nano.

Using older iPod accessories

I've been charging and snycing with the cable and power adapter from the 4g iPod with my iPod touch. It seems fine but is there a chance that there will be a problem in the long run. I don't like using the cable that came with the touch because its to hard to remove unlike the ones that came with the 1g nano and the 4g iPod

It should work just fine.

Using older client 10201 with 11g database

Hello,
Are there any issues with using sqlplus client 10201 with 11g database with regard to performance? I would think using the 11g client with 11g database would be preferred but what would be the disadvantage in using sqlplus 10201 with 11g database?
Also, what would be disadvantage if using sqlplus 11g with an older database 10201/10202? Thank you.

I guess the most visible and the prominent issue of using an old version client with the more latest version db would be that the older version client won't be able to display/use some of the newest features. This sounds more like a usability issue than performance issue which you mentioned but that's what which came on top of the mind. Performance should not be affected as the client doesn' do much except to pull the data so if there would be any issues actualy , they would be with the server rather than the client.
Just my 2 cents.

Using older analog equipment with Logic

Hello!
I have an excellent condenser mic and tube preamp that I used to use ten years ago with analog reel-to-reel recording. I just bought a mac book pro, however, and would love to get back into it. Problem is, the optical digital input is the size of a headphone jack, and my old cables and plugs are the older, larger 3/4 size.
Does an adapter exist to use my old stuff? Or do I have to get a solution like mbox and use the USB ports?
Once I make the connection, I'm assuming Logic will be able to record the input...
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

have an excellent condenser mic and tube preamp
Great! That's the best start for vocals and acoustic instruments - depending on what this gear is.
I think you'd be better off with an interface rather than juggling cables. Get a Firewire interface: If you don't want to spend too much money at this stage, check out the PreSonus Inspire or the baby Focusrite Saffire LE.

Using older 500GB TC with new 1TB TC for extra storage

I recently upgraded to the duel channel 1 TB Time Capsule and was wondering if I can use the older single channel 500GB Time Capsule purely as extra storage on my network. I just hate to let the old TC collect dust when there is valuable storage on it...
I'm concerned that if I connect the 500GB TC to the new one with an ethernet cable, the WIFI functions on the old TC may interfere or confuse the the computers on my network trying to connect wirelessly to the older TC. I'd prefer not to join the older TC to the network wirelessly.
Questions:
1. If I connect the older TC to the new one using ethernet cable, will the WIFI functionality of the old one automatically turn off or will it turn on and search for devices to connect to?
2. Should I connect the two using ethernet, which I understand is a much faster connection, or do I need to connect the two using USB to use the older TC purely as additional storage?
3. Is there anyway to manually turn off the WIFI functionality of the older TC to act as an external drive only?
4. If the WIFI cannot be turned off, will it interfere with the signals of the new TC? And do I have to join it to the network at this point or will the ethernet or USB connections override and shutdown the WIFI?
5. Will this work at all without any trouble or do I need to invest in a simple external hard drive at some point and connect using USB or ethernet to gain additional network storage as the TC documentation indicates I can easily do?
Any guidance is appreciated!
Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions!
+1. If I connect the older TC to the new one using ethernet cable, will the WIFI functionality of the old one automatically turn off or will it turn on and search for devices to connect to?+
If you previously had the older TC setup to broadcast a wireless network, then it will continue to do so unless you set the Wireless Mode to "Off" in AirPort Utility.
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab (just below icons) > Wireless Mode = Off.
Also, if you are connecting the older TC to the new TC using ethernet, you would run an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the new TC to the WAN (circle icon) port on the old TC. The old TC would need to configured as a "bridge"
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet Icon > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode).
+2. Should I connect the two using ethernet, which I understand is a much faster connection, or do I need to connect the two using USB to use the older TC purely as additional storage?+
Use ethernet configured as above. USB will not work in this type of application.
+3. Is there anyway to manually turn off the WIFI functionality of the older TC to act as an external drive only?+
See #1 above.
+4. If the WIFI cannot be turned off, will it interfere with the signals of the new TC? And do I have to join it to the network at this point or will the ethernet or USB connections override and shutdown the WIFI?+
See # 1 above.
+5. Will this work at all without any trouble or do I need to invest in a simple external hard drive at some point and connect using USB or ethernet to gain additional network storage as the TC documentation indicates I can easily do?+
You haven't mentioned whether you plan to use the TC for Time Machine backups or other file storage. Can you clarify on how you plan to use the old TC?

Can I use my iPad dock with 3rd gen iPad?

I already have an iPad 2 dock. Can I use this for my 3rd gen iPad?

Hi Capp 543:
I don't really use it any more live, mainly because I use my iPad for reading music and don't want to switch around apps. I'm not part of the company, but I'll try.
IMO the iRig manual is way way too simplistic.
I am attaching some jpeg's of what helped me solve it, though it was tough. If it doesn't open, search Audio Midi Setup help for "sharing midi data over a network". You have to create a wireless session using Audio/Midi setup, OR create an "ad hoc" network using bluetooth if there's no wi-fi (another set of problems...). This may be your issue. There are a few things beyond getting the wireless network appearing that you have to do, that's why I'm suggesting this even though you did it, or a part of it.
In particular:
"Anyone" has to be set as who can connect to me in the lower left of the wireless midi setup screen, and
First get everything else ready, meaning the iPad connecting, THEN LiveRig has to be launched from closed, meaning do an icon hold and close in down iPad, then open it up for it to connect, when everything else is ready. for some reason that helped me.
In MainStage, you of course need to go to the MainStage #1 Setup screen, drag in sliders, then "learn" them to the LiveRig, which should now be seen when you click "learn" and move a Liverig slider. I have a vague recollection about not seeing iRig in the MainStage #1 top left device window, but then going into the drop-down menu there where the device shoudl be, selecting it, then learning the sliders. Then in the #2 Edit window you assign the sliders etc.
I would suggest first connecting it via midi wires and getting it to work, which will help you decide if a problem is in the wi-fi or somewhere else when you go to connect it up with wi-fi. You'd need the Apple Camera Connection kit adaptor. I myself would alway run it via midi if I'm playing live, too many unknowns with unknown networks.
Hope that helps.

Can I use my current dock, etc. with my new Nano?

Question, I just received my 4GB Nano, I already own a 10GB 3rd Generation Ipod with a Dock (currently plugged into a belkin firewire card, but also has a USB 2.0 connector) I also have a Apple Ipod travel charger (apple model # A1004)which seems to plug right into the charging/transfer port perfectly. Can I use these accessories with my new Nano? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

OK,
so your choices are
1) see if you have a firewire to dock connector cable ("Apple iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable " $19 from Apple online store). If not, buy one from Apple or third party (Griffin Technology makes these cables, maybe a little less expensive). This will let you charge your nano with your existing firewire wall charger, BUT you won't be able to sync your nano with this cable (no big deal if all you do is use this cable to charge)
2) purchase Apples USB wall charger "iPod USB Power Adapter ", $29. Advantage is you use the cable that came with your nano (less cable clutter).

Can I use my old accessories for a 40GB (4G) iPod with new 160GB iPod Classic?

I just purchased a 160GB (7G) iPod Classic. I had been using a 40GB (4G) iPod.
The male connectors on the accessories I used with my 40GB iPod seem to fit into the female connector on my new 160 GB. So, I am wondering if I can use these old accessories with my new 160GB iPod Classic. The old accessories I used with my 40GB (4G) iPod are as follows.
1) Wall charger made by Apple. It has a firewire connection at one end of the charger cord which connects to the small white plastic box of the charger that plugs into the wall. The other end of the charger cord seems to fit my iPod 160GB Classic.
2) Dock made by Apple. It uses a firewire connection cord to my computer, in contrast to the USB connection cord that came with my 160GB iPod Classic.
3) Car chargers that worked with my old 40GB, 4G iPod. The car charger connectors seems to fit my new 160GB iPod Classic. One car charger is made by Apple. The other is not made by Apple.
So, could you please tell me if I can use any or all of these old accessories with my new 160GB Classic without damaging it.
Thanks.
Richard
