Why no firewire support for new iPods?

If firewire is so much better and faster why did the geniuses at Apple decide to discontinue support for it? It took me over 30 minutes to upload music & videos to my new iPod w/ USB, which would have taken 5-10 minutes with Firewire. I don't get it!

They did it because they obviously didn't see the need for it.
Either you have a usb 1.1 port, or have about 500mb of music. The speeds aren't that different between USB2.0 and FW. In fact, i think USB is faster. Stop complaining here, this is only a user-user support forum.

  • Why did Apple make the new iPod unable to use Griffin iTalk or iTrip?

    I was so disappointed when I upgraded to the new 5th gen. iPod and was unable to use the accessories I purchased for my previous iPod. Am I missing something? What am I supposed to do? Is there an attachment that will make them usable? Why would Apple make a new iPod that wouldn't include the same connector?

    See below your so-called answer to my question.
    I also noticed you have marked it solved. If, as a moderator, you can say that your response was considerate of the people using the system then I guess it was solved. If I was to mark it I would say the reply was very condescending and thus worthy of a 1 out of 10 as far as a reply goes. In the future please do not answer my posts as I would like to be treated with a little respect as I'm sure you would like. Please get some other Mod who can perhaps relate to a person's concern. Your answer may be correct but your way of putting it across sounds like some of the 13 year old school children I use to teach.
    You have a good day.

  • CS5.1 support for new DSLR cameras (D600)

    I would like to understand the business decission (if there is any) why Adobe decided that for new DSLR  cameras support they will update only the Camera Raw version for the current release CS6 and not respecting the legacy for the n-1 release (updating the Camera raw for CS5.1).  This is a serious concern and disapointment.  Does it means that each time Adrobe has a new release , if i chnage the DLSR i am FORCED to upgrade and pay 190$ eventhus I do not need the new release features?

    Ah, thanks guys - I am very very happy to eat crow on that one!
    The actual point of my post was to make me feel better, and boy did it work!    I did not expect any actual relief, so actually now the post is twice is good as I thought - I was actually wrong!
    Anyway, I might mention (I didn't get into all the details) that I actually canceled the order for the d800e (the "e" version was backordered until just recently), as the d600 was just announced as my order was about to process.
    So actually I am in the same bad situation as the previous poster, but maybe now I will go back to the d800 - saving a $450 upgrade to CS6 actually saves half the difference in price between the cameras.
    And sorry for the rant on the 2 analogies.  It was not a troll.  I vaguely remember in my research that Lightbox comes with ACR, is that true?  Lightbox doesn't come with CS5.5 MC, but I wonder if i were to buy it ($99??) that'll give me the latest ACR that supports the d600, and problem solved.  I assume once i have the latest ACR it'll let me open straight into PS and not make me go through Lightbox and then PS?
    Anyway, if that is correct, that would be a much better answer to the original poster (and it saves him $100).  Other good answers (if this Lightbox hack won't work), might be:
    "It's an incredible amount of work to support nearly every camera and lens ever made in ACR, so even though it comes free with your software, you don't get free updates once your software moves to a new version."
    or
    "The d600 began shipping nearly immediately upon announcement, and it takes a while to update the software."  (perhaps the responder didn't realize it, but this was the situation with the d600.)
    But the car-story and "if you can afford a new camera, you can afford to pay adobe" were pretty tragic answers - someone needed to call you on it, or you would have only served to upset the original poster.
    Ha, PEBKAC, that is pretty good.  Not very easy to pronounce, though.
    I must say my last dozen interactions with adobe have all been negative, except this one, so maybe things are turning a new leaf.  You're lucky I didn't get into the story of when my HD crashed, and I had to call Adobe to re-activate my old CS4 PS.  It's awesome getting literally laughed at by the activation help desk person.  (I had owned the software for 3 years at that point, and had only ever activated it once.)  ...who just assumed I was lying.  "here now let me tell you how to deactivate the old version" "the HD is dead, it ain't going to happen" "well let me show you again, because you need to do that..."
    Oops, I did get into that story, didn't I?
    Best,

  • Why earphone without mic with new iPod Touch 4g?

    I am die-hard fan of Apple products. Have recently bought iPod Touch 4th Gen. But failed to understand why did Apple ship micless-earphones with new iPod Touch?
    iPod Touch 3rd Gen used to have earphone with mic and remote buttons.
    I know, new iTouch has inbuilt mic, but since mic & volume controls are missing on earphones, I can't talk wih my handsfree! just because the mic is on iTouch panel.
    Disappointed!!
    Any chances for Apple to get this earphone replaced for new iPod Touch owner?

    You can purchase the headphones with mic here:

  • Old ipod in possesion (firewire)...New ipod stuff in car...can they mate???

    I have an old ipod that uses firewire, and the new sound system in the car has the dock cable for newer ipods.....(i have a mini as well). Is there any wonderfully magical cable that can make the old one compatible with the car??? Thanks in advance for any help!!!
    Naomi G

    probably not, the dock connector has the firewire signals in it, plus many other signals (usb data, various power lines, audio i/o, power control, video out, ipod serial i/o)
    older ipods just don't have all these signals
    the dock serial i/o is probably different from the 3g version, and the 1/2 gen versions different again (don't think there was any ipod data out on 1/2 gen)
    if you could get hold of the parts you could certainly make a power and audio-only adaptor cable, but that'd be quite clumsy

  • Support for new Nvidia Quadro gpu?

    When support for new Nvidia Quadro gpu? For example Nvida Quadro K2200 and K4200
    Thk

    What do you mean when you say "support"? All of After Effects OpenGL features already work on those cards.
    The only thing that isn't supported on those cards is GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer, which is an obsolete and almost entirely irrelevant feature. No more GPUs will ever be added to the list of cards supported for that feature.
    Details:

    It's not just iTunes you need to update...
    You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
    See iPod touch system requirements here.
    Leopard is available from Amazon here.

  • How to add support for new file type.

    Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
    I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
    I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
    Thank you

    Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
    Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
    CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
    LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
    I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
    At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

  • Can i replace new ipod 4 for new ipod 5?

  • Support for new dead iPod Video?

    I just received from Apple the new iPod Video last Thursday. I was familiar with earlier versions and was impressed with the video quality. I loaded tons of songs and thousands of pictures. Downloaded Desperate Housewives since there is nothing else worth watching from the Apple store. The iPod started turning itself off within 1 day. The only way to turn it back on was to press center and menu keys. It worked for a day or so.
    I called Apple Support and was asked to do a restore from the original computer, which happened to be PC desktop at home. I did, nothing changed.
    I am Technology Coordinator at the school where we have about 450 Macs so I am fairly familiar with Apple support and technology part.
    My mom died and I flew to Europe on Saturday. Before that I loaded tons of pictures and videos to the laptop to show my family. I bought protective case and do not even have a scratch yet but the iPod died. I took iBook with me and have many PC laptops around here but iPod can not be revived. I tried everything to reset, restore that thing. Hard drive does not spin, screen is black, it does not even drain any power from USP port. I can not get to any of my pictures out of it. I should have transferred them all to the iBook before but that would have erased the existing old l-Tunes Library. Now I am SOL.
    I purchased Apple Protection plan for the iPod so I felt safe. Well, I filled out the online case now, got the numbers and nothing happened. Promised email never came, dead silence. Tried again, same thing. Well, I am not going to call Apple Support from Europe and spend a fortune to wait for my sorry turn. Needless to say I am little PO'd.
    I live online and can process tons of school emails from Europe but I can’t get to Apple.
    Major pain.

    Check this out.
    iPod battery doesn't charge.
    Sometimes if the battery gets completely discharged, simply connecting to a USB port on the computer doesn't supply enough power to "kick start" the charging process. In theory it should do, but yours seems to be a common problem.
    Do you have access to a wall charger?

  • Ridiculous lack of support for older iPod accessories

    After thoroughly enjoying my iPod mini through 4 years and two batteries, I decided it was time to finally upgrade to a nano. I'm starting to think that was a big mistake. Despite an amazing screen, great functionality, and excellent storage capacity, the brand may forever be tarnished now by the fact that my new iPod did not work properly with any iPod accessory I owned. Apparently, everything I owned used firewire based charging, and Apple has dropped support of this capacity. This means my neither my $200 iPod speakers nor my $200 car integration will charge my new iPod. I used to think the iPod was an icon of the industry. I used to feel confident buying accessories, knowing they would integrate seemlessly with my iPod. Now I feel like the iPod is just another scam, with Apple's only interest being to make a buck. I will definitely never purchase another iPod accessory again, and will probably not purchase or recommend an iPod to anyone unless this problem is fully resolved.

    Hey Foxhound199,
    The accessories that have the "Made for iPod" logo are certified by Apple and should work without any issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1665

  • 3g firewire dock and new ipod

    My 3g iPod (10gig) died just in time for Chirstmas. Will the firewire dock that came with it work with the new iPods? I prefer firewire to usb and don't what to have to purchase one since Apple stopped shipping with them. Please help.

    It will only work for charging your iPod.
    The new iPods do not support any type of data transfer via Firewire. They are USB only.
