I am interested in connecting my iPod G5 to my macbook and use it (in particular the click wheel) to control my max msp patches. I have looked into the serial and the hi objects but they don't seem to recognise the ipod (because it's high speed usb as oppose to the low speed one?..) I have looked around for externals as well but they are all for iphone/ipod touch...

are there any lovely people who can teach me what to do?

Do you mean iPhone 3G? If you do, there are 2 (possibly 3) iPhone/iPod

Touch apps that might work for you. All use the OSC protocol which

you'll need to familiarize yourself with.

I actually precisely DON'T mean the iPhone 3G or iPod Touch or old iPhone. I mean the good old iPod G5 with the click wheel.

Yes, the boing ones that people can't wait to replace nowadays.

Don't know if anyone knows how I can use that as a controller...

Do you mean the 5th generation iPod? There's no iPod G5, unless of

course it's not from Apple :). Sorry, I don't know of any way to

access the click wheel from Max. If it is possible, it would likely

involve opening it up and physically wiring up some controllers that

could interface with Max via USB or Firewire, etc.

oh yeah, sorry got it mixed up with the G5 macs....lol

That's a shame, the click wheel would have made an awesome controller :(
