iPod Will an IPOD Video work with USB 1.1

[halfprep455]

Can my IPOD Video work on an old G3 with USB 1.1? It works fine on my PC but thats USB 2.0.

Yes ipods do work with usb 1.1 however apple does not recomend it.

My first gen Nano workd like a charm with my USB 1.1. Slow to transfer, yes, but works just fine. Should be the same on a video, although I can't imagine transferring 30 (much less 80) GB of info through such a slow connection

My old 4G iPod used to have all sorts of problems when I used USB 1.1. At first, I thought I'd actually gotten a dud or quirky iPod, but when I switched over to a computer with USB 2.0, the problems cleared right up.

So, no, I wouldn't recommend using USB 1.1. Apple requires a USB 2.0 port for a reason!

my mom uses a 30gb 5.5G ipod on usb 1.1

It took a while to get her songs and tv shows on it, but it charges and works fine.

Would it be worth getting a PCI USB 2.0 card?
