My iPod could not be connected to my Sony laptop

Sure, it saves space when traveling, but my iPod (2nd generation, FireWire only) could not be connected to my VGN-S260 laptop with this cable. Just not recognized by iTunes or iPod Updater March 23, 2005 Spent a lot of time troubleshooting. I later tried using a regular (non-retractable) cable and my iPod was recognized normally. Maybe I have an unreliable device or there is a general quality issue with this Iogear product.

Pros
  • . Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Terrible cables and connections

I bought this cable to use with a 120GB external hard drive, when I connected it my computer didn't recognize the drive. I called Iogear tech support and they said the cable would not work with large hard drives. It would be nice to know this before buying. This is a very misleading advertisement, it doesn't say anything about the size of the external hard drive. The back of the box says "Great for use with external hard drives". Yes of course. All tech support could say is there's nothing they

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • No instructions

Doesn't work on computers and accessories

I couldn't get this to work with my FireWire external hard drive (the computer didn't recognize that a device was connected). It's coming back and I keep looking for short, lightweight FireWire cables that are easy to move around.

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • Long time
