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 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 iPod Shuffle work on Lexus IS250/350 Standard Audio?

I own a '11 Lexus IS350. Will iPod Shuffle work on standard Lexus audio by plugging the device to USB port inside the center arm rest and control playback of tracks through Lexus audio unit? like PLAY, PAUSE, SKIP FORWARD / BACKWARD, etc etc etc? I know iPod Touch works, but how about iPod Shuffle? It doesn't have a lightning connector, instead it uses 3.5mm-to-USB cable supplied by Apple. How da heck is that gonna work is beyond me..
Thanks!

This is pretty embarrassing that nobody owns iPod Shuffle to play it on their car sterero.... Is playing music with portable player in the car not popular any more? C'mon guys this is ridiculous...... let's get real please thanks.

External CD/DVD RW not working on older iMac

Hi,
The SuperDrive in a oldish iMac ca 2007 (Intel Core 2 Dual Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz; Mac OS 10.6.8) refuses to allow me to burn DVD's all of a sudden; the disc just gets rejected. Used to work fine.
Anyway, I've a new external drive which I use with a MacBookAir but this doesn't seem to work on the iMac. No power to it.. zilch. Works OK on the MBA, etc.
Am I right in assuming there's no way the external drive will work with older Macs?
Cheers, TonyT

First have a look at > Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive and work thru the sections for Internal Superdrives.
Most any aftermarket Mac OS X compatible USB DVD/CD drive will work with your iMac.
For example: I have a LG GE24LU20 and it works great with all my Mac's.
The Apple USB Superdrive will not work with older Mac systems that already has a built-in-superdrive.

Will Time Capsule work well with iMac 2,1 2 GB RAM

I have an older iMac with 2GB and a newer one with 4GB. Wondering if connecting them to Time Capsule will do anymore than the 2.4 Linsys routter I'm now using (excluding, of course, the store capacity of the HDD). The old machine has Snow Leo and the newer one ha Lion,.

The Time Capsule will allow you to backup both Macs using the Time Machine function that is built into Snow Leopard and Lion.
If you can provide some specifics on your Linkys router....like a model number....we'll be able to advise on how the wireless capability of the two devices would compare.
As it stands, the Time Capsule will provide a simultaneous dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz network, along with a Guest Network option and the ability to add an additional hard drive and/or printer to the device to work over the network.

New shuffle works with Windows but not with Mac

Just got a new 2nd gen shuffle. Initially it was formatted as Fat32 per Disk Utility on Mac. I reformatted to Mac OS (journaled). iTunes was recognizing the new shuffle on the mac and I created a playlist that showed it took up disk space in the "summary" tab. However nothing played on the shuffle when I disconnected it. I was trying to update the software but that function is greyed out. I tried to click "enable disc use" and when I applied it, it says it can't find the ipod. It wont let me update anything. The only thing I can do is create a playlist that the summary says is on the ipod but it doesnt play.
I then connected it to my Windows XP machine and it asked me to reformat the drive, which I did, then everything worked flawlessly. I would really prefer to download things to the shuffle from my Mac than Windows XP but it just won't let me. I tried using "iPod Updater" and the most recent one from the list was 03/2006 and that didn't help anyhting. "iPod Reset Utility" would not recognize the ipod to reset it even after I sucessfully set it to Mac OS journaled in Disk Utility.
I am very frustrated. This also happened to my Nano I purchased a few months ago and I have to organize it on the PC as well.
I am running iTunes 7.2

I have exactly the same problem with my two
computers, both of which are Macs. The shuffle is
recognised on one, but not the other.
Here's a screenshot of iTunes ->
http://www.simongbrown.com/blog/images/2007/shuffle-no
t-recognised.png
BTW, I also have an older white iPod in use on the
Mac that doesn't work.
I've tried a few things (including running iTunes
under a different user account, reinstalling iTunes)
but nothing seems to help. The only thing left to do
is reinstall the OS, but that sounds a little extreme!
That's way too extreme... Use the shuffle Reset Utility.

My system DVDs will no longer work on my iMac!

Most DVDs have recently stopped working on my iMac. Some will run, Gladiator is fine but not Harry Potter or more worryingly my system discs.
CDs work with no problems

Magic Touch

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, for starters.

Will ipod Shuffle work on mac os 9.2x?

Question: Will the iPod shuffle work on my clamshell I know about the requirements but sometimes you can use mac os X programs and software on os 9.2 I just need an answer soon before Ibuy the shuffle!
-Jeremy

Jeremy,
Your only option will be to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.2.8. I recommend that you upgrade 10.3.9 though because of code optimizations, there is a consensus that it runs quicker and has more features. You'll need at least 128MB of RAM to run OS X at a grueling pace, but it's recommended that you put in as much as you can.
It should be noted that even with OS X, you'll still need an iPod Shuffle Dock or a USB Cable Extender to physically be able to plug the iPod Shuffle into your iBook's USB port, as the shuffle is a bit wide.
It should also be noted that the iPod Shuffle will then only run at slower USB 1.1 speeds not USB 2.0.
I hope this helps.
Brian

Will magic mouse work on Power G5 with USB bluetooth?

I have a Power G5 Mac OS 10.5.8 and I really want to buy the magic mouse. However since I don't have bluetooth, will it work if I purchase a USB bluetooth? If anyone has done this, please let me know!

Hi Maria, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The Magic Mouse is wireless, and uses a Bluetooth 2.1 transceiver to communicate with Bluetooth-enabled Macs. It can connect to any Mac that has a Bluetooth module, either built-in or added via a USB dongle. In fact, that’s the approach I took. I used a Bluetooth dongle to connect the Magic Mouse to an older Mac Pro that is not equipped with Bluetooth.

IPod no longer works with Older iMac (works with new iMac)

Hi all:
First off sorry about the cross post but I got no response to this question in the other forum. Hoping for help from this group. Thanks!!!!
I have an iMac Duo (20" 2.0Ghz) running 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1 which recognizes my 5g (and my wife's 4g) no problem. However when I attach either of them to my G3 (G3 500 MHz) running 10.2.8 (iTunes 6.0.5) they are not recognized.
I believe that the 5G won't work because the G3 does not have USB 2. However, I do not understand why the 4G does not work.
The 4G worked with the G3 for about 2 years. I have not tried to attach it to the G3 since we bought new computers (iMac for me, MacBook Pro for her) until today. I wanted to use it to transfer some files from the G3 to the new iMac.
I have tried forcing the 4G into disk mode and connecting it to the G3 but that did not help (I tried this with the 5G also).
I am using a USB cable with the 5G and a firewire cable with the 4G.
According to software update all of the computers are 100% current.
Thanks for any and all help!
Gary

I'm no geek but I can say that my 5G video iPod works just fine with my B&W G3 (450Mhz processor), which I am pretty sure only has USB 1. My G3 is running iTunes 7 and OS 10.4.5. Updating may solve your problem.

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 Install discs work on both imacs?

Hi i have two intel 20" imacs (both core 2 duo 2.16ghz with model identifier iMac5,1) that were bought about 1 month apart but i only have the install discs for one of them - i don't actually need to do a clean install yet but i was wondering if the install discs would work on both machines.. the numbers that are on the disc don't seem to correspond to any numbers on the machine they came with.
Both machines have the same SMC version number but the boot ROM version number is out by one digit at the end (i don't even know if these numbers are relevant to the install discs!) could someone possibly help? I'm just trying to avoid having to pay for new discs if there's a chance these ones would work on the other machine.
thanks.

Hello,
The discs should be functional on both computers.
If you would like to test, you can try to boot the computers from the discs to see if you can. If the discs are the wrong versions they will give you an error explaining as much.

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!

Will this HDD work in my iMac?

I have an iMac at home that recently gave up the ghost. I believe the HDD died. The screen went to the flashing ? folder and when i tried using disk utility, it would not show the Macintosh HD. The only thing that showed up in the disk utility was the DVD drive and CD. The Model number on the bottom says A1173, but it is not a G5. It is intel, and has the iSight built in. I am currently running leopard. I pulled a WD2500JS-40NGB2 out of it, and figure it to be bad.
I figured I would replace the HDD and while I am at it, may as well upgrade the memory.
This is the HDD I was looking at installing:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136534
This is the Memory I am looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145157
Price is an issue to me, otherwise I would just buy another computer or pay someone else to do this install. That is why I am trying to stay under $100. I know the WD green is cooler, but would rather go with a faster blue.
Can someone tell me if I am barking up the right tree, or if they have any better suggestions?
Thanks,
AL

Without knowing exactly what iMac you have it's impossible to say. I would recommend that you contact OWC (www.macsales.com) because they specialize in Macs, the products they carry are tested and verified to work. I think you will find their prices more than satisfactory and they also have great support something you won't get at NewEgg. While I have bought from NewEgg before buying you need to know exactly what you're doing before you pull the trigger. With OWC because they have excellent pre and post sales support you know before you have bought the products they will work. You can contact them via a chat session or just call them, you will find links on their site.
