Will new iPods work with my iMac G3 DV?

Hi,
I want to buy one of the new iPods either the big baby or the Nano, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to whether it will work with my Mac.
I have an iMac G3 DV 400mhz, which I believe has USB 1.
Will it work with this as some are saying it might, although Apple say no.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey!
Ken,If you're buying a new Pod,Apple system requirements are Mac OS 10.3.9 or later.So if your OS isn't that upto date then I would say no.Also USB 1.0 isn't desirable.It would work but be incredibly slow in Mounting/Updating and so-on.USB 2.0 is the connection used on 1st/2nd gen Nano and 5th Gen iPod Video.Hope this is of some use.
Cheers,
John

Will new iPod work with old library???

For 18 months, I've had my beloved iPod mini. Alas, the time has now come to trade it in for a newer model. I have only one concern left. The iPod is notorious for its restrictions on users. I've had iTunes synched to my mini for the last year and a half. If I go out and buy an iPod video, will it work with my music library? If it doesn't, how can I get it to work? Lastly, I'll probably upgrade again when they improve the iPod video. Will IT, in turn, work, after having used the older version before it!?

That's good to hear. What has me worried is that my little brother recently bought an iPod of his mate. He tried synching it with my library and it just didn't register. Now, obviously, my new iPod will never have been linked to any other machine but still. However, my brother was able to sync his iPod with a different and fresh iTunes computer in my house

Will a new Ipod work with Ibook G3 600MHz (Dual USB)?

I have a Ibook G3 600MHz (Dual USB) with USB 1 and I'm considering buying a new 30GB Ipod; Apple recommends USB 2.0. Will this Ipod work with my Ibook?
Thanks

you really need USB2 high powered ports to be able to charge your ipod correctly....
you could use USB1 to synch files but it will be painfully slow
and you could get a USB2 iPod charger to charge your ipod

Will new shuffle work on older iMac w/USB 1.0?

Thinking about getting my 9 year old a new suffle for xmas. His mac is an older G4 FP (lamp style) and only has USB 1.0. Will the new shuffle work on his iMac?
Thanks,
Alfredo

The 2 responses to this question conflicted. On the
page referenced in the second answer, it says only
USB 2.0. The first answer said that yes, it will work
with USB 1.0.
Which answer is correct???
The first one... the second answer doesn't have any experience behind it, only marketing pap.
From a first hand point of anecdotal reference, MY iPods, including first and second generation Shuffles work fine with USb 1.1 (2001 iBook dual-USB, iMac 333mHZ Rev D, and eMac 1GHz).

Will 30g iPod work with New Nike product?

I recently purchased a 30 iPod video. I would like to know if the new Nike system works with it as well as just the Nano. The Nike site only lists the Nano as a requirement.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello, I don't have a direct answer for you, but I can give you some advice. I'd highly recommend you NOT go jogging with your 30GB iPod (or any iPod with a hard drive). The jarring motion of the legs hitting the pavement (or what have you) can cause the hard drive to crash (the read/write head slams into the platter of the hard drive and will damage it, causing the hard drive to fail).
However, if you can catch it when the disk is not spinning,(running only when the disk stops spining, there's cache that puts 25 minutes into memory so the disk doesn't have to spin) you may be ok, but to be on the safe side, I'd go against that as well.

New iPod working with USB 1.0

So I heard that the new Video iPods are USB 2.0. First question, why the **** is apple going away with firewire? Second how does the new 4th generation work with USB 1.0 on an FP iMac? I am sure it is slow but will it work? Still a bit frusterated they arn't firewire....
Thanks for the help.

why the ** is apple going away with firewire?
They haven't said. Perhaps to save space on the iPod.
From everything I've read it seems to be exactly that, as if you compare the dimensions of a FireWire chip to that of a USB chip, the size differences are in general rather great. In addition, although I cannot vouch for this myself, I've read in multiple places that FireWire chips are more expensive to manufacture, therefore this could be yet another reason. Not to mention the obvious one that the majority of iPods users have Windows machines, very few of which are equipped with FireWire. It is kind of a shame that Apple is straying away from FireWire given that in multiple computers that I've tested, syncing via FireWire has proven faster (using my old 4G iPod though of course) however the speed differences are pretty marginal. Finally, the thinness and price of the new iPods truly are amazing given both the 'competition' and previous generation iPods, so it seems to be a fair enough tradeoff.
Happy Holidays to all!!!

New iPod work with PB G4 400 Titanium?

I assume my PB is not USB 2.0 (I can't see how to tell), but that just means the new iPod will sync slower, right? It will work, just slower? Planning to buy one of the video iPods and want to ensure it will work.
Thanks.

The System Requirements for the iPod Nano include a "built-in USB 2.0 port." I see that requirement has been dropped with the iPod Video, and replaced with "built-in USB port (USB 2.0 recommended)." Whether the iPodV will work with a USB 2.0 adapter card, I don't know, but no Tibook has USB 2.0 built in, so an adapter card is the only way you'll get it. It would be worth a try, because data transfer via USB 1.1 is at least 30 times slower than through USB 2.0, and even if the iPod can't use the adapter card, other USB 2.0 peripherals like hard drives and flash drives will.

Will any iPod work with Mac OS 10.3.9?

I want a basic iPod for music on the move but what older ones will work on my iBook G4 running 10.3.9? I don't mind trawling eBay... I understand that the new iPods require a more up to date OS...

You can look at the iPod specification profiles here
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumer_electronics/index-ipod.html
There is an entry for +Mac Support+ on the profiles, which shows the earliest Mac OS X release that is supported by each model.

Will any Ipod work with Windows 98

Thats what I have Windows 98 SE.Will any Ipod series work with my PC.

The iPod Windows software as supplied by Apple (and iTunes) will only work on a Windows 2000 or XP system.
However there is third party software which you can use, to enable you to use your iPod with a Windows 98 PC.
iPod USB driver for Windows 98
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
Anapod Reinitializer 1.0.0
Anapod Reinitializer is a free, lightweight utility for reformatting and reinitializing your iPod. Its function is equivalent to the Restore button in the Apple iPod Updater utility. Anapod Reinitializer runs on all versions of Windows, so it allows Windows 98/ME users (who cannot use Apple's software because it only runs on 2000/XP) to format their iPods.
Anapod Explorer 8.7.3
Anapod Explorer is hands-down the most advanced Windows software companion for your iPod. Anapod can copy and backup iPod music and playlists to your PC and integrates your iPod into Windows Explorer as a full-fledged device under My Computer, allowing you to transfer files to your iPod as well and use a familiar Explorer interface to manage on-board music, playlists, contacts, notes, and more. Also included are a built-in database called AnapodSQL and a one-of-a-kind web-based streaming interface to your iPod called Anapod Xtreamer.

Will auto syncing work with an iMac G5 and an iPhone 3gs?

So - like so many people, I have lots of questions about iCloud, iTunes 10.5, and all the rest of it. At the moment, I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my G5. I haven't yet upgraded to ios 5 because I'm somewhat wary of losing functionality and data. But -
If I do, will autosyncing work? I would really love to have any tunes, apps, etc that I buy on the phone show up automatically on my computer, and vice versa. But I have the strong impression that those of us who have older machines are being frozen out of a lot of functions. I don't know if you don't need full iCloud access for autosyncing. And I can't get iCloud on my iMac.
I hope my question is clear! If not, I'll try to clear it up. Basically, I want ios 5 because I want autosyncing. But, if autosyncing won't work for me, I don't know that I want to go through the trouble of upgrading my phone OS when everything is working ok as of now.

I found that the match function does work - I can download purchased songs to my phone with no trouble at all. So I'm happy!

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
Ray

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.
