Hi all. I have a 4G iPod (old faithful 😛) which works fine when I use USB on my Macbook Pro. However, when I plug it in using Firewire, it just charges but does not mount on my computer. Last time I tried the Firewire using my PC it worked fine. I've tried searching online for a way to resolve this issue but nothing really helped. Do any of you know what the problem may be? I even tried restoring the iPod and all that jazz. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks.
 
only the firewire ipods can sync over firewire, since the dock connector its all about the usb im afraid (except like you say for charging)
 
Have you charged it in the wall through FireWire? I've had a few iPods burn out the FireWire connection because of a short with the bricks...
