People in this thread are apparently too young to remember how often the original iPod connectors changed.

    You keep saying this but the first two generations were FireWire only and after that the 30-pin dock connector was used until Lightning came out.

    And the only reason FW was even used was because at the time it was the better connection method for transferring large amounts of data compared to USB.

    When USB 2 was released and common, Apple switched to 30-pin and USB2, while still allowing those with FW adapters to continue using that medium.

    You can connect a 1st gen FW-only iPod TODAY with the appropriate adapters and still sync and use it with new Macs.
