Can I add USB 2.0 to my Ibook 700 G3 via a Firewire/USB2.0 Hub?

I have seen several hubs that sport both Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 ports. If I connect the hub to my Ibook via Firewire, does it make sense then that I can add my external Seagate HD to the USB 2 port on the hub and get the added speed?
The external Seagate HD connects fine under USB 1.1, but I would like to get the added speed from 2.0
thanks

No, this won't work. For USB, it would only be able to use the USB 1, the same that you have now.
In this press release for the D-Link hub, it states:
The D-Link QuickMedia USB 2.0/FireWire 7-port Combo Hub provides high-speed connectivity through the power of USB 2.0 and FireWire. The USB 2.0 ports can transfer data at up to 480Mbps*, 40 times faster than previous USB hubs, and are backward compatible with USB 1.0 and USB 1.1. The D-Link DFB-H7's three FireWire ports support transfer rates of up to 400Mbps. At these speeds, users can edit home video, transfer music and print digital images without latency.
The FireWire only works through the FireWire port and will not increase the speed of your USB ports.

  • How can I add USB 3.0 to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-190t CTO Desktop PC?

    How can I add USB 3.0 to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-190t CTO Desktop PC?  It uses Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS.
    I can't tell how many or if there are expansion slots inside the case.  Is there a reliable source for such an expansion card?

    Considering the different options that PC could have been ordered with, it might be there is not an empty slot to mount a PCI add-on card to add a USB 3.0 card.  It would be advisable to open the case to see if there is an empty slot.  If there is, then THIS is a choice to add USB 3.0

    How can I add page turn animation to my iBooks Author 2.2 file? Can I add html / a plugin?

    I concur with Tom. That feature is not available with iBooks. If the page turning effect is important, you could consider developing a fixed layout Epub 3 instead.

  • How can i add settings to my book on ibook author?

    i'm making a project, and i almos finished, but when i made a preview, i can't change the text size; i want to add that setting to my book, i mean that option on the right top corner where you can change the text size and background color. Thanks for your help

    Not available in iBooks Author.   Available options are brightness slider, book search and bookmark.
    Set your font size higher than default if you have concerns.
    I have to say, I have not checked the portrait templates yet...which are more likely to be used for flowing text only books, but knowing Apple, I doubt they will have the option either.

    As previously noted, the answer, unfortunately, is no. You may be able to pick up a reasonably priced MacBook on eBay or Craigslist or a refurbished intel mac on the Apple site.

    Can i add a normal usb driver?
    Yes, but be sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network?
    The drive will appear as a shared network drive, like the Time Capsule.
    It will work as fast than time capsule?
    No, the drive will operate at about half or 50% of the speed of the Time Capsule.

  • How can I add Qualcom Atheros USB wifi adapter?

    I need to add a Qualcom USB wifi adapter to my 2014 Macbook Pro retina, running latest Yosemite.  I need to do this in order for a Parallels virtual machine to use wifi connection, rather than a bridged ethernet connection (the guest VM cannot 'see' the Macbook wifi adapter)
    The wifi chipset is Atheros AR9271, but I can't find any Mac OS X drivers.  Has anyone added this type of USB wifi adapter?
    When I run the command system_profiler SBUSBData_Type the following information is shown, which tells me that the Macbook can see the device, I just don't know how to configure it
              Product ID: 0x3327
              Vendor ID: 0x13d3  (AzureWave Technologies, Inc.)
              Version: 1.08
              Serial Number: 12345
              Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
              Manufacturer: ATHEROS
              Location ID: 0x14100000 / 7
              Current Available (mA): 500

    You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

  • Can I add storage to Apple TV series 1

    Can I add more storage to my Apple TV 1st edition?  I want to be able to access my whole iTunes library without needing the iMac to be on.

    The three potential ways you would do this, would be:
    1 - replacing the internal drive with a larger one
    2 - finding a hack that enabled USB support for external drives
    3 - finding a hack that enabled access to network drives.
    All risk damage irreparable damage to your working AppleTV 1, some would involve dismantling the unit others would not.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation issue - no longer able to view Device in iTunes?  I can't add, Sync, Back Up or Restore?

    The PC’s I use have Windows 7 installed along with the latest version of iTunes.  I have
    previously deleted all components of iTunes and re-installed.  This made no difference. The PC’s do not recognise my iPod in the Windows Device Manager using ‘devmgmt.msc’.  and still nothing in iTunes.
    Also C:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers / - do notlist ‘usbaapl64’.
    The folders listed are ‘usbaapl.cat’, ‘usbaapl.inf’,‘usbaapl.sys’ and ‘usbaaplrc.dll’. 
    Whether this makes a difference I do not know.
    iTunes doesn’t recognise my iPod either however it recognises my attached iPhones OK
    (iTunes/File/Devices) with the options of Sync; Transfer Purchases and Back Up being available. 
    When my iPod is connected, iTunes shows the File ‘Devices’ sections as being inaccessibly greyed out. 
    So to reiterate, I have tried multiple computers and a variety of Windows operating systems (but I’m running Windows 7) with absolutely no success; the ‘Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus controllers/Apple Mobile Device USB Driver’ appears with my iPhone but nothing for my iPod; the Apple Mobile Device Support is installed;  all my USB cables work OK; the device does not appear in Windows or in iTunes; iTunes has been fully uninstalled and reinstalled; the version of iTunes is up to date; the iOS of the iPod Touch shows it is up to date at version 6.1.6 (and cannot be changed) and even a hard reset has been tried.  Everything tried and suggested with complete failure.
    I can use a USB port to charge up my iPod and can still receive e-mails, updates to apps and can play songs but I can’t add any new songs or update iOS.  There are no error codes because as far as the computer and/or iTunes is concerned, there is no connected iPod. My iPod used to work perfectly.   Also I tried the Apple iPod forum without success and was advised to try the iTunes community support.
    Please help!  Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
    I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
    I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out.

  • Can i add an external power button to my mac?

    I've got a Mac Pro early 2008 2.8ghz 8 core, I'm going to be putting my mac in another room, how can I add an external power on button?
    Are there USB options? Or are there inputs inside the mac that I can connect too?
    Many Thanks
    Matt

    Yes I was going to Hide it under the stairs, and then have the basics on my desk in the attempt to cut down amount of cables.
    I realise I can use sleep mode, but I want to avoid it being in standby to save on the electricity bill.
    At the moment I don't have it all set up, but I think I may have just remember, but I have the 30" cinema display, I know its got a Power Button, can this be reprogrammed to Power the machine on and Off? I remember the option for sleep.
    If anyone has it to check i'll be grateful.
    Many thanks
