I think it comes with a breakout box that offers firewire import. Again do your research.

Firewire to USB adapter?

I recently purchased a iMac 27 i5. Love it. But it has only USB and thunderbolt ports. My beloved Nikon 4000 film scanner only has firewire connectivity. I found a firewire to USB adapter online and purchased one. It came from China. When I plugged it into my self-powered USB hub, I got a message saying a USB device was drawing too much power and it shut down one or more other USB devices to protect the computer. I couldn't print. I realized the adapter might be the problem and when I disconnected it, my printer came back online.
Q1 -- has anybody found a firewire to USB adapter that works?
Q2 -- is there another workaround to connect firewire devices to the new iMacs?
Q3 -- is it possible to have a USB port put into the scanner hardware?
George

Thanks, Niel. That makes sense ... should have thought of that ... assuming that will reduce the excessive power draw? I see Apple sells the 400-800 cable.

Is out there a firewire to usb adapter?

Hello,
I am looking for a firewire to usb adapter, so I have a third usb port on my macbook pro late 2011. Does it excist?

Keep your eyes open for the Thunderbolt hubs and adapters that are starting to come out Some of them have multiple jacks with USB 2, USB 3, Firewire, etc all sharing the Thunderbolt port. Some even have internal disk drives and one has a Blu-ray DVD drive. Some are kind of pricey, but gives you lots of options for connectivity.

Does a Firewire to USB adapter exist?

Hello:
I'm not sure if this is the right area to post my question, but I'll give it a try.
I own an older Powerbook G4 1ghz 12.1" and I'm trying to transfer videos to it for editing from my Panasonic GV-GS31 mini DV video camera, but the camera only has a mini USB out and according to my Powerbook manual I can only transfer video via Firewire. Is there any way I can transfer my video via some USB-to-Firewire adapter? Any suggestions?
Thanks

FYI devices that convert from USB to firewire do exist, they are expensive and I haven't seen a mac version yet. Just lookup "usb to firewire" in google. You might be ok to learn that most of the usb based camcorders that I have used show up as a file system and allow you to pull the data off that way. You can't control them in iMovie with fast forward rewind controls like you can for the firewire versions but if your just worried about getting the media onto the computer it might be a non issue.

Firewire to usb adapter for macbook air

Hello,
Just purchased the latest version Macbook Air. I'd like to transfer video from a Sony video camera w/mini DV tape, into iMovie '11 on the laptop. Trouble is, I can't use my existing firewire cable as before on the iMac desktop. There are prior discussions on the forum about this but none current. Have there been any new developments in the firewire adapter arena for Macbook Air? Thx.

Sonnet Technologies is supposed to introduce a Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter called the Sonnet Allegro later this month. http://www.sonnettech.com
"The Allegro™ FW800 Thunderbolt™ Adapter enables users to plug in a FireWire® 800 device, including a bus-powered drive, to any computer with a Thunderbolt port."

FireWire and USB ipod compatibility?

I have a 4th gen Classic with FireWire but not a FireWire connection in my computer can I just buy a USB plug and use it instead?

The 4th gen "classic" iPod (the first one with a click wheel) can use USB for charging and syncing. The "30-pin" USB docking cable that is sold today works.
However, there is one thing that the USB connection cannot do, and that is a Restore. For this iPod model, if you do a Restore using a USB connection, the final step of the Restore procedure asks you (on the iPod's screen) to connect it to an Apple power adapter (either USB or FireWire). I've heard the reason for this is that it needs a higher voltage to do that last step, and the USB port does not provide it. (If you do a Restore with the iPod connected to a FireWire port, this step never comes up, so apparently, FireWire provides the necessary voltage.)
So, if you have the FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, keep it handy along with your FireWire docking cable, in case you need to do a Restore on that iPod.

IPod 4G click wheel wont sync with itunes with firewire and USB

my iPod 4G click wheel 20GB won't sync with my Macbook Pro OSX Mountain Lion.......
only way work is .. I keep plug in and out the dock connector from the iPod ... after 30 to 50 times... it probably work!
Anyone has same problem?!

Do you have another cable you can try to rule out the possibility that the cable is damaged or faulty?
You might also want to double check the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent, damaged, or corroded pins or even debris that could blocking a full connection with the cable.

Refurbed 4th Generation Click Wheel 20 GB - Transfer songs with Firewire?

I currently own a 2nd generation iPod scroll wheel (that's about to die any day)...I'm thinking of getting a refurbed 4th Generation Click Wheel 20 GB.
Question: Can I load my huge iTunes library onto the refurbed 4th generation click wheel via Firewire? My iMac only has USB 1.1 and I don't want to transfer the data via USB (it would take forever)....unsure if this iPod will actually transfer data via Firewire or if it uses Firewire for charging purposes only.

Firewire is supported for data transfer and charging on the 4th Gen iPod.
You should have no problem at all, provided you have a Firewire-to-DockConnector cable. (I'm not sure if this is included with a refurb iPod)

Click wheel iPod to iPod dock adapter

Is there an adapter to connect a firewire Click Wheel iPod to a new iPod docking station? I want to charge the ipod and play the music via a dock connector.

IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use,
3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
4. After 5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

"I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina) and a Sony HandyCam DCR-HC48 video Camera. The Sony only exports video via Firewire, which is not available on the Mac. Is there a firewire to USB or to HDMI adapter?

tyler57,
it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.

USB 2.0- Nano recognised as a iPod 20/40GB Click wheel model

Whenever I connect my iPod Nano into my ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI card, iTunes recognises my Nano as an old iPod (iPod 20/40GB Click Wheel model, with the black/white screen). The ipod icon under 'Sources' that appears on the left of iTunes appears as this model instead of a black ipod nano icon.
Sometimes the usb 2.0 card fails to connect altogether. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or should i just buy a new USB 2.0 card?
Specs:
Windows XP Professional SP2
ALi M5273 USB 2.0 PCI Card
iPod Nano

Strange... i've tried both versions. Version 4.9 that came on the disc and version 5.0. But both versions of itunes still seem to have the same problem- with USB 2.0.
Is it strange for my USB 2.0 card to have 4 USB controllers?: 1x'Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller', and 4x'ALi PCI to USB Open Host Controller'? All in all, it's added 4 USB Root Hubs, one with 6 usb ports, and 3 all with 2 usb ports each. Is that correct? (My ALi USB 2.0 card only has 5 usb ports but my pc has added 12).
P.s: There is another USB host controller which is not accounted for, as this is used to control the USB 1.1 ports on my motherboard. The controllers and USB Hubs listed have all been added by my ALi USB 2.0 PCI Card.

Will Firewire to USB 2.0 adapter work for 5G iPod?

Interested in getting a 5G iPod for an overseas trip. I have a flat panel iMac with only USB 1.0 and Firewire. I've heard that there is an adapter from Firewire to USB 2.0. Anyone heard of this? If so, can that be used to transfer files using Firewire instead of USB 1.0? I am afraid that loading movies using USB 1.0 will take forever!

hi guys,
can somebody explain me how that is possible. I don't know if it is working properly. But in case it is why isn't somebody else producing it?

USB or Firewire to MIDI adapter

I just bought an IMac and am looking for a USB or Firewire to MIDI adapter, couldn't find one in the Apple Store. COuld anyone recommend one? If they make them with multipe MIDI inputs that would be great.

Hi, Sashasdad. Lots of great adapters out there; which one is best for you depends on your circumstances.
First suggestion: I would suggest going with one that has enough ins/outs plus one or two spares. If you get more gear, you can always add on another MIDI interface and your Mac shouldn't have any trouble handling it.
Second suggestion: don't even look for a Firewire MIDI interface. You'll find audio interfaces with some MIDI ports that run on Firewire, but for straight MIDI data a USB port is going to handle a ton of I/O before it even thinks about breaking a sweat. (MIDI runs at 32 KILObits per second, while even pokey old USB 1.0 theoretically runs at 10 MEGAbits per second.)
I've used the M-Audio MIDISport interfaces (2 in; 2 out) as well as "micro lite" from Mark of The Unicorn (MoTU). Both are absolutely easy to install and use. One small benefit of the MIDISport series is that there's a switch that allows you to use the device as a 'thru' box even if the computer isn't running or processing MIDI -- this is useful when you have a controller addressing one or two modules and you don't want to turn on your computer just to play around. The MoTU Ultra Lite is a 5*5 device, and it's served perfectly well for a few years now. Because my configuration has changed, I don't miss the 'thru' feature of the MIDISport interfaces.
I would suggest checking online prices at M-Audio, Sweetwater Sound, and Musician's Friend -- then go to your local shop and expect a decent markup.
Cheers,
Michael
WARNING: OLD FOGEY ALERT!!: Just to show my age here, I sorely miss the Opcode Studio-4 that I used to have: 8*8, with tons of patching and processing available in the box. Couple that with a Roland A-880 MIDI patchbay (also 8*8) and you've got oodles of power. Then there was the funny little Akai ME-25S and the wildly potent Yamaha MEP-4. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Back in the early 90s, I spent a huge amount of time with UltraMIDI and TweakIt on the wonderful Atari ST, at one point designing a pretty nifty two-player, four-controller, eight-module setup for a recital at Berklee.
For what it's worth, you can do a whole lot more with much less money using today's gear (put Cycling 74's Max onto a cheap laptop and !!!!!), but there was a certain beautiful adventurousness to those weird old devices. The MEP-4 was particularly nifty. Mine is probably still working in my brother's home studio years away and far ago. And UltraMIDI was a variant on Max -- anything could be mapped to anything else!

Firewire 4 pin to usb adapter

Hey, I found this solution on the net for those of use who record video to our macbooks, and lost the firewire functionality with the new macbook purchase.
Jim
hey, I had the same problem and found this solution on the ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=1302 69228098
do a word search on ebay for "USB 2.0 A Male to FireWire IEEE 1394 4 pin Cable 3 FT"
It's how I found it. I also found this site.
http://www.uxcell.com/usb-male-ieee-1394-pin-firewire-cable-p-27962.html
Looks like this is the manufacturers site. It appears that ebay ships faster. I got one for just over 6 bucks.

That is not a Firewire to USB converter. No $2 cable could perform such a function. The product is solely and only a cable with a standard USB connector on one end and a "mini" USB connector such as is used on most cameras on the other. The reference to "IEEE 1394" on the web site is just flat wrong, or may apply only to Sony camcorders that support capture from the camcorder via USB and use the same jack type on the camcorder for both Firewire and USB connections (if any).
Looks like this is the manufacturers site.
Nope. If you look closely, you'll see that the picture is of Sony product. What may be the same cable can be found, with the correct description, on Sony's own web site here.
