Will new iPod range work with oldish eMac with USB 1.0?

I've eventually come to the conclusion that my iPod no longer works. Its a 3rd gen click, but when you turn it on it clicks and hums and Ive read that this means the hard-drive is fecked...Can only confirm this to be pretty the case?
So basically...after realising this I checked out the new range on apple website and noticed that all of them require USB 2.0. Does this mean that apple now wants me to upgrade my computer as well as my iPod?! I have an oldish eMac which only has firewire and USB 1.0 ports.
Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me whether the new range will work with my connections. Or whether I will have to get older iPod via Ebay for example.
Many thanks

Thanks, does that meant that the new range doesn't use firewire at all? Crap if thats the case.

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

  • Will any iPod charger work with iPhone

    Does any (Apple) iPod charger work with iPhone? I would like to charge the phone in different places without carrying the wall charger with me all the time. I got my regular iPod charger and was hoping that I can use it. I noticed that the wall charger that comes with the phone has a lower amp rating than the iPod charger I have. I would think this shouldn't make a difference unless everything else (e.g., the connector wiring) is the same.
    Does anyone know for sure?
    Thanks

    I believe so. Check this link http://www.apple.com/iphone/questionsandanswers.html scroll to the section Accessories for iPhone and read the first one.
    I'd imagine if there was a problem they would have mentioned it. Also, if it makes you feel any better, I've been using iPod charger to charge my phone and so far it's been working fine.

  • IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

    Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

    I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
    - Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
    - PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
    What works well?
    - All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
    - iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
    - iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
    What doesn't works?
    My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
    - Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
    - iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
    - iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
    I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Will the New Ipod Nano works with this accessorie?

    Hey guys
    i was wondering if the New iPod nano will work with the Belkin Tunebase for iPod nano ..

    http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000EEZ2R8.01-AIWHEFKG4HT6N.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
    does anyone knows something about??
    thank you

    It does not work..though it isn't mentioned anywhere. I called Belkin; they recommened another of their products. I'm not sure who I am more disappointed with...Apple for not mentioning that their second generation nano isn't fully compatable with all of the first generation accessories...or Belkin, who had a difficult time figuring out their accessories aren't compatable with the second generation nano.
    Either way, be very careful when you purchase anything for a second generation iPod nano. Or don't buy the second generation nano if you plan on using a lot of accessories.

  • Will the new ipod touch work with ipod touch 4 cases

    hi im new to this and im just wondering if the new ipod touch will work with an ipod 4 case

    There are no hardware differences, just color and price, at least as far as anyone has been able to determine, so any existing case for the 4th-generation iPod touch (the just-announced unit still being 4th-generation, really) should be fine.
    Regards.

  • Does the new Ipod Nano work with AUDI Music Interface

  • Why won't my new iPod nano work with griffin itrip?

    I just receiveed a new ipod nano as part of the replacement programme, but it will not work with my griffin itrip or my old speakers even though the connection is the same - anyone know why?
    thanks

    I used an iTrip with my old Classic 160, but when I got my 6th gen nano, it wouldn't work either. My iTrip was old, and the connector had lost it's plastic bits, so I thought that might be the reason. I could still use my Logitech speaker dock, so I don't think they changed the connector.

  • IPod 3g works with usb, not through firewire

    Hello everybody.
    That's a long time the problem happened, but now it gives me a big trouble because I can't change music on my iPod 3G 10go.
    In fact, iPod was recognized through firewire by my iMac G3 until I installed Tiger. But charging is OK. After having installed that great OS, I can interract with iPod only through USB. That's a big problem because there's only USB 1 on iMac G3.
    I've restored iPod, reinstalled it, having too repaired my iMac G3 disk with Disk Utility. But it still doesn't work.
    So here's a resumee of all things I've done :
    -Reinstalled iPod softwae (last version available)
    -It does not work with my new iMac Core2duo, so that's not a problem with one of my two computers.
    -That shouldn't be a problem with firewire cable because charging is OK.
    -That shouldn't be a problem with dock connector because it works fine when I use iPod on Universal Dock with Apple Remote.

    Hi Xavier
    Yes many people seem to be having this problem since installing the new iTunes 7 and ipod software 2.3, however no one seems to know what is the real cause. My 3G iPod was perfect for years, and since last week I have been unable to connect to my Macbook Pro with firewire. However it is fine with USB.
    People keep telling me to restore my ipod to an older software version (older than 2.3), however the 3G ipod is unable to restore using USB, and requests the firewire connection to restore.
    Thus, I connected with USB and restored using iTunes on windows (using bootcamp on my MBP). However now my ipod is Windows formatted, and is having problems importing music in OS X.
    Just wanted to let you know that others are having this problem, and we are waiting for Apple to issue a response/fix/update.

  • IPod Touch works with USB 1.0, why not iPad

    I just received an iPad as a gift but I have an old 17" iMac with USB 1.0 and it's not syncing with iTunes to setup. My iPod Touch syncs perfectly with 1.0, so why not the iPad? If it won't work, i guess I'll return the iPad and get credit towards a new iMac.

    Read the system requirements for the iPad to see if your machines have the correct OS and iTunes version.
