Will my Powerbook handle the new ipod video?

I've got a Powerbook G4 Titanium (only USB 1.1) and was hoping to get an ipod with video capability. I see they're not firewire supported, so does this leave me out? Running 10.39.
Thanks

no it isn't
the 5 gen ipod has video capabilities but is not "the" video ipod. its like the nano it supports photos but its not an ipod photo. the "ipod video" is the 6 gen ipod which is coming out this fall. its gonna have a bigger screen made to actually watch movies on it. the 5 gen you can watch movies on it buts not practical for it. its "ipod" it became just the standard ipod. notice that nowhere does apple call it "ipod video"
even on the page you replied with it says "Fifth Generation iPod (also known as iPod with video)" notice ipod with video

  • In reference to this topic:   Will my Powerbook handle the new ipod video?

    In reference to what Chris CA, and shadowsoldier were arguing about (ipod 5th Generation vs. ipod with video) Here is some information that i found on the apple website
    October 12, 2005 - The Fifth Generation iPod replaced the iPod with color displays
    June 6, 2006 - The iPod U2 Special Edition is introduced, based on the Fifth Generation iPod. The U2 iPod has different exterior (red Click Wheel, U2's signatures engraved on the back) and includes an iTunes Music Store coupon to download 30 minutes of video featuring music and interviews with the band.

  • The New iPod Video !!!

    I saw the specs for the new iPod Video
    but they mentioned the 80g but not the 30g.
    Is there any upgraded specs for the new 30g iPod
    rather than the cheaper prize?
    I love everything about the new 80g including the increased playtime of songs and videos but the
    only thing that i don't like about tis the thickness..
    So I hope that the new 30g iPod video has the
    increased playtime to....
    Does anyone know about the new specs for the
    new 30g iPod Video??

    I finished the test and I get five hours of video playback with the backlight completely dimmed, but its not an ideal setting to be watching movies. So I have the backlight 1/4 as bright. So I should get like 3.5 hours video playback. I called Apple and apparently the new 30GB iPod does have a longer battery life and 60% brighter screen. Would it be worth getting if you are able to return your iPod? I would say "No" especially if you have it open. The restocking fee is 10% of how much you paid for. I paid $288 for my iPod so I would have to pay $28.80 for the restocking fee. So if I did refund it and bought the new 30GB iPod for $249.00 plus the $19.85 tax and also add the restocking fee of $28.80 I would have paid $297.65 compared to the iPod I orignally bought for $288. I'm still going to go to the Apple Store tomorrow and see if I could return it through the Apple Store and see if the restocking fee might get waived, but I doubt it. Its still worth a try since I pass by it coming home from school.

  • I have the 1st generation ipod touch is there anyway that apple will trade it for the new ipod touch even if i have to put in a little money myself like some trade in credit or somthing?

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch looking to trade for the new ipod touch or someone to give me money for the new ipod touch

    There is no trade in program.
    You can sell to to someone.
    Apple has a recycling program where they will give you 10% off of a new ipod if your bring in your old one.

  • A review and some info on the new iPod Video

    Folks,
    I just got mine yesterday (60gb). It is fantastic. I have nothing bad to say. I loaded all my music, pictures and calendar data. I bought a TV show, downloaded a free Video Podcast, bought a Pixar short video, and a Music video. The quality of the picture is nothing short of amazing. Everyone who sees it is very impressed. I have a whole row of folks where I work that have one iPod or another, and they all needed their drool-cups changed while looking at this new addition from Apple. Well done Steve!

    Thanx RJ,
    I have noticed the same thing. No different from any other discussion group. But you take the bad with the good, right? Anyway, I DO love my new 5G, and I know there are so many of us out there that are really curious about the new iPod. Isn't that what any company wants? Buzz about their new product? Good buzz about the 5G is well deserved, regardless of any short comings. I have been having SOME difficulty understanding what is appropriate and NOT appropriate to say in this discussion group. I got slammed once already, and am not sure why. So, I hope my track-record gets better.

  • When will Apple release the new iPod Video Firmware?!?

    Hello there
    I'm just wondering when will Apple will release iPod Video Firmware that does fix the Artowork disappearance in iPod Video
    You can check the whole problem details in: Re: Ipod album cover problem "An unknown error occurred (-50)

    And what you needed to do before you asked a question speculating about forthcoming updates from Apple, was to read the Terms of Use about posting here in Discussions, specifically this part.

  • The new iPod Video, xtra HD?

    hi, can I buy a 30GB iPod Video and use it as a backup HD? I need an iPod for portable music, possibly to watch some television DVDs on it, and to store Garageband and SoundStudio files. I might also want to store other files onto it, but currently audio is the only kind of media I use my comp. for. I have lost useful data twice, and don't want to again. I don't want to buy an external HD to backup data, plus I've been hankering for my own mp3 player anyways.
    thnx

    Stan,
    The iPod could work as a backup HD, but as long as you don't access it a lot. If you are always adding files to it and making the HD spin a lot, it could shorten the lifetime of your iPod. But, for just backing some stuff up every once in a while and to store some files, you should be fine.

  • New ipod video not recognized by my computer at all

    i have an ipod mini and itunes on my windows xp computer. i just bought the new ipod video that it is not recognized by my computer at all. i plug it in and the entire computer freezes. if i plug in my mini everything works fine.
    i have tried updating/uninstalling my new ipod video. i am worried that if i uninstall itunes that i will lose my purchased music.
    does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do? does anyone have the same problem as me? i really want to start using my new ipod help please.

    I assume you have installed the iPod driver, before connecting the 5G iPod. It is possible the device driver for the mini is different, and thus confusing your computer. The iPod driver is on the CD that came with your 5G iPod (iPod with Video)

  • When is the new docking station going to come out for the new iPod touch with the lightning connection?

    I have just got the new iPod Touch for christmas. I am now wondering when a docking station will come out for the new iPod Touch with the new lightning connection. I have not been able to find a docking station that fits the iPod Touch without having to buy the adapter(the adapter does not allow the iPod to be charged)
    When will a docking station come out for the new iPod Touch?
    Olivia Davey

    You would have to ask the makers of the docking stations that question. Belkin has a dock now that uses Apple's Lightning cable:
    http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J057-Belkin/p/P-F8J057
    so all it basically does is provide a stand and pass through the headphone jack. There's at least one other dock here:
    http://www.thelightningdock.com/products/iphone-5-dock
    If you're referring to Apple's Universal Dock, there have been no indications that they will make any new dock, though of course none of us here know their plans for future products.

  • Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

    I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
    Thnaks in advanced.

    When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
    The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

  • I shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.
