Why is Apple not supporting Firewire on the new Video 60g or the Nano

Does anyone know if there is a way to enable Firewire support on the new Video IPod or NANO. I cannot believe that Apple has released this product with only USB support. I am at 1 hr to upload 1000 songs out of 9000. Absurd.
Is there an update or a way around this.

I'm a big fan of Firewire myself but I guess it's just a lot easier to switch over to USB 2.0 as the standard.
You're using USB 1.1, that's why your transfer rate is so slow.
Do yourself an enormous favor and set your iPod to Manage Manually in iPod Options to avoid accidentally Auto Updating your iPod with USB 1.1

  • Why does appple not support Firewire to the 5th Gen ipods?

    I just picked up a new 5th gen iPod and am upset that it does not allow for connection to my older G3 iMac via Firewire (as did my older iPod Photo 40).
    I can connect it using usb 1.0 but that connection is painfully slow. Why not support Firewire conectivity? Perhaps Apple wants to force me to buy a new computer?

    "Apple is aware that iMac users could use Firewire with older iPods, but not my new one. It has nothing to do with updating computer hardware."
    While it is true there is nothing you can update on your computer to make the iPod work on a Firewire port, it has everything to do with the fact that the iPod no longer supports the HARDWARE (i.e. chipset) for Firewire transfer in the iPod itself. It has been this way for well over a year now.
    "IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT I NOW HAVE TO USE USB WHERE I USED FIREWIRE TO SYNC IN THE PAST."
    Extending your flawed logic further, I used to be able to use SCSI drives, ADP keyboards and Mice, AUII network ports, RS-422 serial ports, etc. so should I still be able to use those now? How's that floppy drive working out on your Mac? Used to be those as well, so I guess your Mac has one now?
    "This feature is dreadfully slow,"
    Yes, USB1.1 ports are very slow which is why all Mac computers for MANY years now, have all come with USB2 ports for high speed transfer. While I know it ***** when you have an older computer that doesn't support the latest in higher speed ports, but you can not expect Apple to support all port types forever on every device and machine.
    When the original iMacs came out, everyone moaned and complained about the loss of a floppy drive and all the devices that no longer would work, like tablets, because there were no ADB ports and all the external SCSI drives that couldn't be used. Guess what, everyone got over it and moved on. Now you would laugh it Apple put a floppy drive into a new machine.

  • Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.

    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

    Why do Apple not support basic bluetooth profiles?

    All other smartphones on the market support this.
    Do Apple not want PC customers?

  • Why does Apple not support GiffGaff?

    GiffGaff allow you to tether and use your standard data allowance, but Apple don't even recognize GiffGaff as a network - so you can't enable any kind of tethering. The only workaround appears to be to jailbreak your phone. Why does Apple not support this network?

    Nobody here would know that.

  • Why does Apple not support the rSAP - Remote SIM Access Profile - for connection to car handsfree via Bluetooth

    Hello community,
    I just ordered a new car and it comes with a bluetooth based handsfree installation based on rSAP (remote SIM access profile). I learned that rSAP is the ideal thing to eliminate the unwanted radiofrequency radiation (RFR) inside the car. Now while googleing I also learned that iPhone on iOS does not support rSAP.
    I would like to point to the following page which shows some more detailed information on the rSAP topic:
    http://paulroberts69.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/android-2-2-and-rsap-compatibility /
    I find rSAP a very usefuly thing, if it really brings the GSM radiation level down inside the car and allows the full use of all GSM functions by the rSAP premium handsfree kit built into the car. I absolutely do not understand why it is not already available with iOS.
    From several web sources I understand that rSAP is available for jailbroken iPhones. That means, the chips inside the iPhone would support a rSAP service. Therefore my question: will it become available with iOS 6?
    Or do all the folks at Apple drive old cars/brands and don't even think of the rSAP feature? Can we somehow start to get a hearing by the Apple developers? According to my knowledge, rSAP is implemented with all premium handsfree factory units of the VW brands - Audi, VW, Skoda ... This should make a relevant user base!
    Any others with same wish and/or experiences? Comment here please!
    Regards,
    Olaf

    Hi Meg,
    could be several things:
    1. they forgot?
    2. none of their team members drives any VW branded car?
    3. nobody cares about the radiation inside the car?
    4. all have plugin holders for the iPhone?
    I am just surprised that rSAP is offered by a premium car maker, but Apple seems ignorant about its support.
    I am mostly concerned about the radiation when I use regular hands free. But I do understand that rSAP also has some limitations (only access to SIM contacts and other things, Wikipedia DE has a good full report, Wikipedia EN is much shorter).
    Regards,
    Olaf

  • Why does Apple not support syncing Entourage Notes and Tasks with the iPhone?

    I'd like to know why Apply syncing does not support notes and task syncing with the iPhone.  It used to when I had a Balckberry and used a third party sync app.
    I bought the iPhone (4S) thinking that syncing would be smoother and have less problems than I was having with the Blackberry and third party sync software.  Are there any plans to support this?

    Normally I run OS X, but on a whim I tested iCloud on Windows and was able to get Outlook to read and create Notes. It supposedly supports Tasks too, but I can't figure out how to use Outlook.
    I suggest reposting your question to the iCloud for PC forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_pc

  • Why does Apple not support Java Runtime Environment?

    I am a U.S. Armed Forces Service Member, and I have ran into this problem so many times along with millions of other people, and I would like to ask Apple why don't you support JRE?  My job requires me to use websites that is designed for government use to run on Java. I travel a lot, and I work on the go; I love using my apple products such as the IPad, but when it comes down the sites that I must use, I can't. It is very frustrating and impossible to get the job done without accessing these sites. Apple, you would get so much more support/business if you would allow your faithful followers to have access to Java. Specifically JRE 1.5+.  I still do not understand the reason why Apple has consistently refuse to work with Java based application. Apple, please swallow your pride and give your supporter something to keep going with. Thank you.
    Regards,
    U.S. Navy Service Member.

    One take on it here:
    http://www.codenameone.com/3/post/2013/01/why-oracle-wont-issue-java-for-ios-any time-soon.html
    As James said, you can comment to Apple, but given the many serious security problems that have and continue to be discovered in Java, the chance of Apple implementing or allowing a Java engine in iOS is vanishingly small.
    Expanding on what Phil said, there is at least one app/service combination,  VirtualChrome, which says it supports Java. But you could achieve the same result with probably more control over security by just taking control of a desktop system running Java.
    Regards.

  • E-M5 Mark II: Why does LR6 not support working with the full 4:3 raw image for pictures taken using a different aspect ratio?

    When importing Olympus E-M1 or E-M10 raw images which are taken in aspect ratio different to native the 4:3 MFT sensor format, LR will display the frame as crop overlay to the full image as captured by the sensor. This is very useful because at time of postprocessing one can still control the position of the frame, and modify if required.
    I was very suprised to see that for E-M5 Mark 2 this is not supported in LR6. The raw file in LR6 corresponds exactly to the frame which was chosen while shooting. Full 4:3 image information is present in the ORF raw file though, which can be easily seen eg using Olympus Viewer.
    Is there any specific reason why this useful feature has been neglected for E-M5 Mark II?
    Thanks

  • Why does Apple not support prepaid phone service?

    I was wanting to ask someone from Apple this directly. I have a prepaid phone from ATT and they said that the way that Apple sends data doesn't support the prepaid service. I was just wondering why they did that? If it was intentional? And if that will change any time soon or in the future?

    Then you're in the wrong place.
    FWIW, I think it is supported, but not sure.

  • HT4759 WHy does Apple not support iCloud bookmarks for 64bit firefox?

    I use 'Nightly' the "unofficial" official 64 bit version of firefox and the iCloud bookmarks plugin is not compatible. Why is this unsupported?

    Follow these steps to fix the issue...
    Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/icloud-bookmarks/
    Right-click on "+ Add to Firefox" and select "Save Link As..."
    Save the file to your desktop
    Rename the file to add the .zip extension (eg icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi.zip)
    Open the zip file
    Extract the install.rdf file and open it with notepad
    Remove the whole following line to allow it to work in a 64bit browser
    <em:targetPlatform>WINNT_x86-msvc</em:targetPlatform>
    Change the following line from...
    <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion>
    to something like...
    <em:maxVersion>99.*</em:maxVersion>
    Save the file, and update the zip file with the one we just fixed
    Delete the META-INF folder, otherwise during installation it will detect install.rdf has been modified
    Rename the file back to .xpi (eg icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi)
    Open this file with Firefox, it should install the addon fine now
    Open the iCloud Control Panel settings, and enable Firefox bookmark syncing.
    If you don't want to do this yourself, I've made the file available to download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rgfodf7ualt0wdw/icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi ?dl=0
