CAn we have a Fire wire Interface cable longer than 4.5 m

Can I have a fire wire interace cable longer than 4.5m. CVS manual Specifies that better signal intergrity it is better to use less than 4.5 m. But I Found from www.1394store.com that IEEE 1394 cable is available for 10m. If I use this will this work with CVS?

You may be able to use it, but I wouldn't guarantee it. I assume the cable will work with some firewire applications, otherwise the company wouldn't be able to sell it. It may only work at the lower data rates though, so if you are sending large volumes of data it may not work.
I would suggest looking into a repeater. You can use it to connect two 4.5m cables. It is powered from the firewire cable, so it isn't much trouble. You can chain three or four cables together using repeaters before you need to use a powered hub. Some repeaters even have a cable built in on one end. My only concern with a repeater would be making sure the cable stays plugged in.

  • How do I connect  Apple 20" Cinema Display to orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

    I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

    The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display.  The display will run without it.

  • Do all maxtror drives have 2 fire wire ports

    Hi all,
    Im trying to buy a hard drive (maxtor seem to have been good to me so far) they have a new one called ONE TOUCH 3 but I cant seem to find out if they have 2 fire wire ports.
    All the spoecs say this
    "We stock 300GB and 500GB version with both USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 interface, please select storage capacity at the bottom."
    Any tips ?
    T
    Thanks in advance

    If you are planning on using this for video work you should look elsewhere. It is not designed for that application.
    If you are looking for a drive to simply back up data, it should work.
    Generally recommended drives for DV and HDV include: G-tech & Granite Digital. Both of them make highly engineered drive solutions and include Hitachi mechanisms.
    If you are thinking of working with uncompressed footage, then much more specialized drives/enclosures/connections are required.
    good luck.

  • Which video cameras w/HD have a Fire Wire connectivity?

    Recently, I bought a Sony video camera w/HD that had a USB cable to transfer data from a video camera HD to IMac. However, when I've attempted to do that, an application IMovie informed me that I must have a Fire Wire cable which video camera didn't have. What kind video cameras are recommend for easy transfer data to IMac?

    Fencer
    When you say HD you mean Hard Drive, right?
    What kind video cameras are recommend for easy transfer data to IMac?
    Any MiniDV camcorder will have a firewire connection.

  • Can I have my Adobe X Pro on more than one computer?

    Can I have my Adobe X Pro on more than one computer?

    Well, yes, but I think there's an important point to make; I'm surprised you talk about "downloading it again". That suggests you didn't make an archive copy of the installer you downloaded for the first computer.
    It is VITAL to archive a copy of what you download for software you buy. That doesn't mean just leave the download on disk, because you will need it if that disk fails or computer is dropped on the floor. We constantly see people that didn't get a copy of their old software, and now it is no longer available for download, leaving them just stuck!
    So, please, save a copy on CD or DVD. Also, write the serial number on the disk, and any qualifying number if it was an upgrade. I'd hate you to be another statistic in the "how do I reinstall my old software" threads.

  • How can I use Pro Tools with Fire Wire interface and Fire Wire external HD

    If Mac Book Pro has only one Fire Wire jack and I want to use Pro Tools with an M Audio 1814 Firewire interface and an external Fire Wire HD how do I get around the fact that the Mac Book Pro has only one fire wire jack?
    Pro Tools says that they DO NOT recommend using USB 2 Hard Drives as recording drives.
    If I plug my External HD into the back of the 1814 it is way too slow to use, plus, I don't know why, Pro Tools is telling me that my External HD is "not a valid audio volume". It is a MAC OS Extended (Journaled) external Firewire HD (G-TECH G-DRIVE)
    Stuck...

    You could consider getting a firewire hub or get an expresscard 34 adapter with a firewire port.
    I personally use a Belkin Expresscard adapter that gives me an extra firewire port as well as two extra USB 2.0 ports.
    Good luck.

  • Mac Pro can't running two fire wire hard disks at the same time .

    Mac Pro can’t running any two fire wire hard disks at the same time . which two hard disks have extra power from power socket . If i just insert one of them .No problem . If connect two Hds at the same time. Leopard cant find it and the Hds seem no problem. the machine must be restarted and then use one . No problem . I have formated the HD many times .even if which format is Fat 32 or Mac issue persists .Boot from installation CD used the disk utility . Issue stills . If i used one fire wire HD that get power from power socket and used one fire wire device . Leopard was no problem during this time . Whether is this design problem or my machine hardware problem?My Mac has been changed the logic board by Apple service . Do you have similar case in here????

    I connect both hard disks that get power from power supply normally. Also have ever changed the format as GUID. Which always use the power cord . I felt confusion why the issue just happened connect both hard disks with extra power at the same time. If i used one hard disk connect to firewire port . Another firewire port connect other firewire device . No problem at all.

  • Why can't I use fire-wire to sync my ipod?!?!

    The system won't allow me to synch my ipod with fire wire!! Why!?! I just bought a super nice mac pro you would think they would let me step it from from SLOW USB!!!!!!!!

    Firewire support was discontinued with the introduction of the the 5th Generation iPod and the iPod Nano so it hasn't been an option for quite a while now. Current iPods will charge over Firewire but they no longer sync using it. You can send your feedback on it's absence directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback

  • HT2477 transfer accounts with fire wire 400 cable?

    I want to transfer two user accounts and their data from my old iMac 21" to a new a Mac-mini. What's next after i connect my firewire 400 cable?

    In step #8 be sure to turn the disclosure triangle to choose the accounts to migrate.
    If this is the first time you booted your Mac and you're in setup assistant then, you want to choose at least your Admin. If this is after you've already been through Setup Assistant then be careful you don't duplicate the account you already have.

  • Can I have my profile on another drive (other than C:) - Fx 4 beta 10, Win XP SP3

    Is it possible to install or set up Firefox so that my profile is on the '''E: drive''' (for example) instead of C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\abcd3du4.default. I have installed Firefox on the E: drive.
    (I know I can use a portable version to solve the problem but I want to know if it's possible with the regular Firefox.)

  • How can I have mozilla firefox start at bootup, rather than having to click on the desktop icon to get it running?

    I do the usual turn on and bootup of the computer. Then I have to click on Firefox, and wait.
    Is there a way to add firefox to the bootup in msconfig? I couldn't figure out how.
    I am not a blond, but have white hair.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • How can I have filters be applied to other folders than just Inbox?

    Hi,
    I saw https://discussions.apple.com/message/10469741#10469741 , but it's archived now, so I had to start a new thread, I guess? Sorry for that.
    I wonder if there's any news on that topic since 2010: Is there a way to apply filters to just any incoming mail? Not limited to the ones in my Inbox? They are not marked as read, they are just brand new mails...
    Thanks!

    Kinda new to this so pardon me but how do I drag the iPhoto Library itself?  Where is that located? 
    Actually....I think I may have it.
    That iPhoto Library icon, just drag that to the external and then transfer it from the External to the other devices "Pictures" folder??  Then I should be able to just start iPhoto from the toolbar and it will all be there?

  • Can i retrieve iphone photos from icloud from longer than 30 days ago?

    My iphone 4S was stolen today. My primary concern at this point is the photos and video that I had on the phone. Unfortunately, I have not been an active user of either Photo Stream or iCloud. I did download FindMyiPhone onto my Mac today and in the process initiated iCloud. I've read a little bit more in the last couple of hours and spent some time on iPhoto and I have just noticed that the last 30 days worth of photos on my phone are now in the Photo Stream folder in iPhoto. My question, then, is that since there were only a total of about 250 photos on my phone, from the last 7 months, are those photos that were older than the last 30 days anywhere in the cloud that I can access them?
    Thanks!

    Thanks - but where do I go to see them? When I log into icloud.com I don't see any photos. I just see icons for calendar, contacts, mail, iwork, etc...
    Open iPhoto on your Mac.
    The idea is you take photos with your iPhone then use iCloud to download them to iPhoto on your computer (before 30 days are up).
