iPod Mini sync to non USB-2 machine

2005-03-29 Thread Mikael Byström

My ex-GF bought an iPod Mini and have great problems syncing it to
anything as she have only USB-1 connectors on the PC and iBook 366 that
she uses. She also don't have a firewire cable as these babies come with
USB-2 cables only. I thought they'd be backwards compatible and only
being slower, but no.
She was able to use it on the PC, but there are no playlists transfers.
On a 2nd iBook 366 with OS 9, the iPod doesn't even mount as a HD for
temp storage.

What are the best suggestions in this situation? Any ideas?

So far, the whole experience seem very unmaclike. So now the Mac users
have to pay for that Apple was so slow getting USB-2 and because they
decided to standardize on that with these iPods (but not on the earlier
Mac models), barring very suitable machines otherwise, unless you get a
FW cable. Hmmm. Maybe look at iRiver instead after all

Re: iPod Mini sync to non USB-2 machine

2005-03-29 Thread Andrea Stansbury
Your mac problem lies in the fact that the box states you have to have 
OS X 10.1 or later.  I have a 366 iBook too, and though I have not 
tried to synch my iPod because it synchs with the iMac I have, I am 
running the latest OSX.  See about upgrading.  That might solve it.

Secondly, is the windows machine on Win 2000 with service pack 4 or 
higher?
