Broken Firewire Divice, Is There Another Way To Use Firewire Cable For PB?

Hi. It seems to me that the firewire divice of my pb titanium no longer works.
Is there another method to connect the firewire cable to my pb?
I simply want to transfer heavy date from ipod to pb through firewire cable.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, pasteurization. If the FireWire port on your Powerbook no longer works, you can buy a relatively inexpensive CardBus adapter that will provide a FireWire port or ports and spare you the high cost of replacing your logic board. Here is one example — there are many others on the market:
http://fwdepot.com/thestore/productinfo.php/productsid/323
I chose this one as an example because its vendor is unusually clear in explaining the following (I've added the boldface):
"CB1394DET is designed with power-class 0 so it does not need power and does not provide bus power to the IEEE 1394 Bus. No power limitations on Self-powered devices, CB1394DET supports all Self-powered devices. It will not support all Bus-Powered devices. Optional FireWire repeater is a must for Bus-Powered devices. Please contact us for more info about FireWire repeaters."

    I have an application, Soundboard, which sends audio via the aunetsend plugin. I'd like to manage the output of this application within Garageband as a track. Is there any possible way to do this?

    Alas, no, not in VBA.

  • Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Try this to start:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Software update tab does not do anything. Is there another way to check for updates?

    Helllo,
    I"m trying to update my OS to 10.8.4 but when I click on Apple > software update, nothing happens. How do I fix this problem or is there another way to look for software updates? Thanks!
    Mike

    Download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo). Before you install be sure to do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Is there another way of upgrading my EE phone instead of texting 150?

  • What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    Well in order to keep all the ratings, playcounts ect ect of songs in iTUnes, place the songs back into there original folders/places on the "Old harddrive" by cutting (Not copying) them from the new Harddrive. Now iTunes should report the songs has being there and have ! marks beside the imported folder from your external Harddrive.
    Now you will delet the dead/broken links (Or missing music from the new drive)in iTUnes. Goto Ottos site for a script that will remove dead links and other things here
    Just download, unzip, and run the program.
    http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip
    Now with everything in place and the dead links removed you will either consolidate the library or set it to copy to another Folder. If you consolidate it moves ALL your music listed in iTunes to the "iTunes Music" folder and can not be reversed. If you set it to copy, it will just copy music from its current folder to the iTunes music folder. You will have to pick the best option for you but consolidating will work best if your trying to free up space. To consolidate goto "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library". To copy goto Edit>preferenses>Advanced tab>general sub tab and check "Copy FIles to iTunes music Folder when added to library". THis location is also where you will change the location of iTunes Music folder from your old harddrive to the new one by hitting the "Change" button above the reset button

  • Nokia 6234: is there another way to switch on?

    My Nokia 6234 does not switch on. I think the power button got broken. Is there another way to switch it on, other than the power button?

    i don't believe there is any other way with any mobile phone to turn it on apart from depressing the power button. try taking your phone battery out for ten minutes then replacing it, and see if your phone powers on. if this does not work, and there appears to be physical damage to your power button/does not work, then you will have no choice to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

    Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

  • HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

    I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes.  I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

  • The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window.  I need this feature.  Is there another way?  You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

    Others have commented on this too.  It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development.  You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of  progress.

  • Is there a way to use 2 firewire devices on my macbook?

    Hi,
    I want to try using my panasonic gs-120 camcorder to make a little movie of my kids. I have a intel macbook with 2GB. Is there any way to use the camcorder with the firewire port and my external firewire drive? I don't have much internal drive space left? Do I need an adapter?
    Thanks

    most firewire-cases offer TWO firewire ports.. simply daisy-chain:
