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

By	Bruce Aguilar (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing item, September 3, 2009

By	Curtis J. Bilewitch "Macguy" (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got the cord thinking it would free up a usb spot on my Mac by using the firewire. I was disappointed to find out that it will only charge the Ipod nano (3rd generation) and not synch it with the Mac. Apparently if I get a dock this problem may be solved, but without it it's just a charge cord.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not an authentic apple product., May 20, 2009

By	J. Schmitz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered two of these, and neither of them were authentic Apple products. How can I tell? The usual slogan written on authentic Apple iPod products goes like this: Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China *

The fake cable, purchased here, doesn't have this printed on it.

Don't buy. Not "100% genuine Apple item" as advertised.
