5.0 out of 5 stars Works Flawlessly, August 11, 2005

The FireWire to Dock cable is not an exciting product but it opens up many possibilities.

- Connecting to a second Dock
- For connecting your iPod to another computer (either for file transfers, synching, charging or listening)
- Plug the FireWire end in to an iPod charger and you can charge you iPod on the go

Since all iPods come with the necessary cables for connecting it to your computer (Mac or PC), what this cable really offers is flexability. The ability to take your iPod anywhere and be ready for any situation without having to disconnect the original cable from your main computer set up.

I've been using this cable at work for over a year now and have had no problems with it. No carrying a cable back and forth and connecting and disconnecting it, now all I take is the iPod and I can connect to either computer. It's still working perfectly and allowing me to use my iPod the way I want to with the least amount of hassle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Older Mac? Older iPod? This leads for YOU!, January 11, 2011

As mentioned above, or below.. depending on how this review is inserted.. this lead offers flexibility... but also, in lots of situation it's offers high speed transfers!

Apple were quite slow to take up USB2.. With only the later G4 computers having it.. Firewire on the other hand can be found all the way back on the 2nd generation iMac (Indigo CRT based G3) and on the Blue and White G3 Power Mac.

If you have an older Mac with out USB2 and your iPod will support firewire syncing with iTunes this cable could speed things up tremendously.

Just doesn't work. None of my devices recognized this cable. Great idea but something's not right here. You would think it could a least charge an iPod but it didn't
