Difficulty finding a non-dual core firewire 400 card

Hi,
I have a dual proc 2ghz G5 that I have lately been running a GRAID drive on (fw800). So I have been interested in putting the FW400 drives (1394a) on a separate bus. This is one of the most difficult things I've ever accomplished, and I'm not there yet.
Every one of thee different FW cards hasn't worked. First said nothing about Mac. My bad. Second did - but it said it work with Dual Core. Guess what? I'm not Dual Core. It get's better. Just bought one (that looks just like the first) that has a Mac symbol on the outside. Read on. Then it says - min req - a Power Mac G5. Install it... doesnt' work. Read intruction booklet (OK, I shouldn't have left this detail til last.) - "requires Mac G5 with dual core".
That was it. I am stymied. Help, anyone? Shall I get a FW800 card and flip the process of separating the buses on it's head? Any better chance any of those cards will work? This *****! (:>))

I stick to the "name brand" Sonnet, and usually anything on MacSales myself.
Video editing? I'd go with native SATA.
As for the drives, I'd actually invest in one of today's better performers, something like WD Caviar SE16 640GB. And consider the "do it yourself" on matching drives and cases.

I have four of the black Mercury native SATA boxes, $67 each, but now wish to move them into SeriTek 5PM.

Connect with 1x 2-channel or above. 4-channel 8x being ideal.

Good PCI Express FW400/800 is not your bargin Best Buy (or ebay resell). Not if it is going to support Mac and deep sleep etc.
Disk drives? 640 - 1000GB for $103-160.

SATA RAID gives you the bandwidth to get I/O of 220MB/sec and above. Avoiding the 80MB/sec of FW800 and problems associated.

Which is the last most stable version of Firefox for non-dual-core CPUs? Thanks.

I run a Dell Pentium 4. I found newer versions of Firefox to be deadly slow and extremely unreliable. I find 3.0.19 to be the last most stable version for non-dual core processors. Absolutely no problems. And no endless remoting. However, there is no further safety support for this version. Thus...
Which is the last most stable version of Firefox for older non-dual-core CPUs?
Many thanks.

Thanks but this isn't what I need. I need a URL that directly downloads with wget so I can automate it. This takes you to a page that contains links. I'd have to scrape the page to find the one I want, and while that isn't impossible it is a huge over-complication for something that should really be pretty simple.

PCI Express 2.0 Firewire 400 card (?) and the best RAM

Hi. I just bought a new Mac Pro with the following specs:
* One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor
* 3GB (three 1GB) memory
* 1TB hard drive
* 18x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5
I'm upgrading from a seven year old G4 MDD Dual 1.25 gHZ (still running OS 10.4.11).
I also have a small recording studio- with audio interfaces that use Firewire 400 connections. I don't want to use a converter, nor do I want to use a hub, as they create latency issues when recording/sequencing.
My question is this: Does anyone know of a good PCI Express 2.0 card that has (maybe 4) Firewire 400 ports? Also, I want to upgrade the RAM, can anyone suggest a good RAM chip? I did some research and found 16GB from OWC at about $280. My understanding of OWC is that it could be any number of manufacturers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

You can adapt the FireWire 800 ports to firewire 400 with a simple adapter or cable that has no active components and no latency. A card is not necessary.
Once you eliminate the total garbage products from unscrupulous Vendors, "Quality" of RAM correlates with "does it work in my Mac".
Buy from a Mac-savvy Vendor who can tell you what RAM goes in your Mac, and guarantees it will work or your money back. \{It costs then money to get it wrong.]
As I_elephant suggested, a Lifetime warranty is what you are looking for.
Be very cautious when reading about how to configure memory in your Mac. 2009 and later is completely different from 2008 and earlier, and you need to check the dates on the articles you are reading or you can easily get information that does not apply to you. e.g., the 2009 does not require updates in "matched pairs" but the 2008 and previous does.

Early 2009 Mac Pro: Adding a Firewire 400 card

I want to add a firewire 400 PCIe card to my Mac Pro as a last ditch effort to get my Presonus Firepods working properly. Presonus recommends the firewire card have a TI chipset. See my thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2770203&tstart=0
Two questions:
1. Any card recommendations known to work with large quantity audio throughput?
2. Most every card I've reviewed has a card-mounted molex power connector; will I need to supply auxiliary power to this connector to provide enough power for the Firepods?
2a. If I do need to provide auxiliary power to the card. Where do I pick it up from? Is there a connector/cable somewhere inside the Mac Pro?
TIA

I'd take a look at the Sonnet range of cards. I use them for video, which I guess has similar throughput and lack-of-latency requirements to multi-channel audio.
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegrofw400pcie.html
I believe you only need the aux.power feed to such cards *if your FW devices take power down the FW cable*. If your FW devices are separately powered from the AC mains, I suspect you won't need the aux.power feed to the card.
If you find you do need an aux.power feed, I guess you can find an adapter/extender from the unused second optical disk drive power connector?

Another dual-SATA Firewire 400/800 case that is Leopard compatible?

Looks like OWC is out of stock for 9 days, and I need to get one sooner than that. I'm look for a non-RAID configuration allowing me to have two 500 GB SATA hard drives which I already have and place them inside a single case that has both Firewire 800 and 400 support? Any recommendations which are Leopard compatible? I'd prefer to spend under $200 USD.

Installed New Firewire 400 card - Final Cut Pro unexpected quit.

I just installed a new PCI firewire card in an earlier model dual G5 tower. Final cut pro now won't even get to the splash screen. All I get is an unexpected quit with the following message.
You can tell from this message that it is quitting right around when it looks at the firewire bus. I have a drive plugged into the card and it works fine. When I uninstall the card, final cut starts up fine.
Any ideas. My thought is probably a cheapo firewire card, should I upgrade to Lacie or something?
Thanks

Playing Russian Roulette with Firewire 400 drives and Final Cut Pro

oh boy! this has been a fun week!
I would love to ask the advice of the group about checking the firwire
ports on my computer, and also on the separate external drives.
Here is what has been going on.
Final Cut Pro 5 starts up and then starts to pinwheel.
but in short here is the result, I have recently lost 2 external
FIREWIRE 400 drives, one by LaCie that is my newest drive of the
group, it is 160gb 2 port FW400, and another by ProMax which also has
2 FW400 ports. the lacie was the first to go and is just not mounting
and does not show up using any of my Disk Utility software (even the
heavy duty stuff like DATA RESCUE II or Disk Warrior), I am thinking
that both ports are bad(maybe fried by another bad port on my tower?)I
can hear it when i boot it up and it sounds normal with the same
routine sounds, but it just doesn't mount, nor show up, so is this the
ports?fried?
Now, on my tower I have the following setup - 2 FW400 ports that are
STOCK that came with the TOWER G4 when I bought it. There is also a
FIREWIRE 400 card which has 3 ports. In the past I have used all the
ports for drives, and for a printer and a scanner in my studio.
Everything mounted and worked properly. Then,recently I moved the
drives and the tower to another location(in the room and no I didn't
drop or shake anything) and replugged everything in again, probably in
different slots but upon boot the external firewire drives didn't mount.
I had to UN PLUG them and then RE INSERT them by trial and error(which
I thought normal as I have done this when using these drives with my
laptop, until I got them to mount. they all did mount. However, once
up an running I started Final Cut Pro 5, and it started to get a
PINWHEEL for more than reasonable and if forced me to RESTART the
computer.
The next time, one of the HARDDRIVES (the LaCie 160gb) was no longer
mounting, and I tried to change firewire ports and on the stock and
also on the card for fear that the 3rd party card might be faulty.
I even ran APPLEs HARDWARE Utility and it gave no results as to
anything faulty on the firewire ports. It just said they were there.
Both stock and the PCI firewire card.
Next, I tried to mount this LaCie 160gb onto another computer, with no
results.....it now acts as if both ports are faulty, again, I hear the
drive spinning and going through its initial startup, which sounds
exactly like the other drive, but it never mounts. which is odd...what
is your idea about this drive? and how to save it?
is there a way to take the drive out of the casing and test it in my
other LaCie160gb that is currently working?
2nd, this is where it gets funky, then upon starting Final Cut Pro,
the pinwheel reappeared now with another firewire drive a PROMAX 160gb
that was plugged into the STOCK FW 400 port (on the tower) starting to
show a RED light(not good), however, after restart, I didn't see the
PROMAX drive mount, but I was able to load it up with DATA RESCUE II,
and it is doing a QUICK SCAN to save the DATA on that disk......
now I have backed up most of this data, but the problem now is not the
data, it is whether or not to even plug any of my other drives into
any of these FW ports until I can test them for faultiness.
A friend told me of another friend having a problem where a firewire
port was frying drives as soon as they plugged them into the certain
port. How can you figure this out without re-acting like 'Deerhunter?'
This feels like playing Russian Roulette......if you get my drift?
How do you check any ports for such foul play?
Thanks in advance for your support....
makin

well, now I am finding out that the culprit is I think the POWER MAC g4 itself.
For it has been blowing the firewire ports over time by frying them with power.
Has anyone had this happen?
My Power Mac g4 will not shut down.
It powers itself back up.
I end up having to press the POWER button and holding it, but this sends power to the firewire ports and I can hear them turning on.
so all this time I had just dealt with the issue
Apple had seemed to blame it on a 3rd party MATROX card in the PCI slot.
But, now that has long been taken out of the equation.
The only thing left is that the 17inch MONITOR is plugged into the POWER MAC and for some reason it is keeping a charge?
Can anyone help me in this matter?
As this has haunted me for 5 years with this machine, and I have probably fried more drives than I care to mention.
I just want my computer to SHUT DOWN when I tell it to.
is that too much to ask?
Might the POWER SUPPLY be at fault?
What in God's name could keep this ******* of a computer from shutting down?
I have no USB hubs or keyboards hookedup
the only thing is the MONITOR itself....that you can press its button to shut down etc.
I would be honored to know what this is as APPLE CARE never could figure it out
I didn't want to go through the hassle of taking out the RT MAC card, and just either left the machine on, or Unplugged the thing....
that is a nasty way to shut down a computer is it not?
much thanks to any one who can help me to figure this out?
thanks

Jdeveloper dual core processor performance problem

I have a dual core 2.4 ghz processor and 2 gig of ram and Im running Jdevloper 9.0.5.2 and my performace is terrible. Other developers in the company have non-dual core processors and they can start up in debug mode using the Jdeveloper embedded oc4j our application in 10 seconds where it takes me 4 min!!!!! It is a struts,ejb web application. Is there anything I can do to help in debug mode??? cheers.
Murray

Hi Bernard,
Which version of McAfee are you using?
On my (personal) laptop, I'm using McAfee VirusScan 9.0.10. I don't frequently run JDeveloper on this laptop, but when I do, it's not experiencing signficant startup delays (it's a very low power machine: PIII 650 512Mb)
McAfee VirusScan seems to have very few configuration options (noticably different from Norton, which I use on my corporate desktop machine). I specifically remember changing the "File Types to Scan" option to "Program files and documents only". You can get to this by right clicking the "M" notification area icon, VirusScan->Options menu, Advanced button on the ActiveShield page.
In Norton, I think I have it configured so that it only scans files on write rather than on read. I also exclude directories which contain jdeveloper installs or other large Java apps (although scanning only on write elliminates most of the performance problems anyway and still leaves your system reasonably secure).
The easiest way to convince your MIS dept that the virus checker is the source of your problems might be if you ask them to allow you to turn it off in order to test the difference it makes to performance. It's a reasonable request to make if you're trying to elliminate possible causes for the slowdown (from the description you gave, it does sound like the AV upgrade is the first place I'd start looking).
If the virus checker is the source of your problems, you'll probably be seeing massive slowness in most large Java applications that have a large number of JARs on their classpath.
Thanks,
Brian

ISight: External Firewire 400 (My problem solved)

Hi folks,
Like many others I have been unable to use my iSight and I discovered what my issue was. Maybe someone else is having this exact problem.
I have a 2009 Mac Pro with FW800. I don't have/didn't purchase a 800/400 adapter, but instead was using a Belkin PCI USB 2.0/Firewire 400 card I purchased YEARS ago. The several times I had tried to get this camera working I had nothing, but trouble. On a few occasions the computer would just boot to a black screen. I figured the card was damaged, but I installed it in my G4 DA running Tiger and it worked fine as well as the iSight.
Today I tried again. Same problem. The card was recognized in the profiler and USB worked in it, but still no iSight. I pulled my computer out and looked to see if one of the ports was damaged. What I did notice was the firewire ports are vertical and the top of the ports were slightly slid under the PCI slot cage dividers. I loosened the screw and gently moved the card downward and centered the ports in the PCI cage then re-tightened it. I plugged in the iSight and low and behold it worked!
The problem was when the plug was inserted into the firewire port the outside contact was touching the computer case and causing some kind short. If I hadn't gotten real close to the port to look for damage I would never had noticed it. So check the clearance of the firewire ports on your PCI card if you're using one and make sure the plug isn't touching.

Thanks for letting us know what worked for you.

Aja Kona Card (Migrating from G5 to Mac Pro Dual-Core)

I own a small video production company.
I am migrating from an old G5 to a Mac Pro Dual Core given to me. The Aja Kona card doesn't fit into the Mac Pro Dual-Core, as the card slots are different.
Any way to adapt the G5 compatible card to the Mac Pro slots? I would only use for importing older analog media, as the newer HD stuff we shoot is brought in electronically.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
DW

Thanks, Grant.
I gave the G5 to my kids, so I'll probably just keep the Kona card/bundle in there until needed, hook up the appropriate VCR/VTR, and then dump the captured footage onto a HD to bring onto the Mac Pro. Too bad there isn't some internal/external adapter solution...

FireWire 400 to 800 Adapter issue

I recently got a new MacPro (model is in my signature).
My setup:
I am using a Sony DSR-11 Deck to capture my footage. This deck connects via FireWire 400. The new mac does not have a FireWire 400 port. In anticipation of this, I bought a FireWire 9-6 Adapter (400 to 800).
My Problem:
I am getting "dropped frames" error when trying to import footage.
Possible Solution:
My guess is I will have to get a FireWire 400 PCI Express 2.0 card (if they make them).
My Question:
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was your solution? Do you know of a FireWire 400 card that works in the new MacPro that you would recommend?

I used a device as simple as this ->
http://www.amazon.com/Firewire-800-9-6-Adapter-Rohs/dp/B000LGGAD4/ref=pdcp_e1
And a sony HDV camera this last weekend. I captured about 4 hours of stuff and didn't have a problem. This was to an iMac even. I know this doesn't solve your problem but I thought I'd highlight that it can work.
Apple even sells the Belkin cable (not that that is any proof) and I would think that if you using the right deck control setup the adaptor/cable should work.

Need help finding a good monitor for a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0)

Hi
I've owned Macs since the 90's - the past 7 years have been using Imacs... I'm going to purchase a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) with the Nvidia 6600LE card. Whats a decent monitor for it? It's DVI output only as far as I can tell - I want at least a 22 or 24 inch monitor and want a fairly inexpensive one as I'm a poor man (Social Security disability). Can anyone suggest one - I can't tell what screen resolutions are optimal for the card (googled till my eyes hurt) if I knew that I could start hunting CompUSA, Sams Club, etc.

Check out newegg.com. I just got the same G5 you have this past summer and a couple months ago finally decided it was time to ditch the old 21" CRT Viewsonic Ive been using for years.
I picked up a 21" Acer widescreen HD LCD on sale for $119.00 from newegg and could not have been happier..
Ive never bought anything from Acer before but its so far got no complaints from me other then, the DVI cable they give you is the wrong type to use with your G5's video card. Lucky for me it had a DVI-VGA adapter so I could get running. Its running just fine at 1900x1200 without any dual link DVI connecter.
One thing I like about newegg is you get to read user reviews and they are not afraid to tell you if something is bad. Theyve always got different models and brands rotating on and off sale so check em out and make sure you check the reviews and you can find a killer deal.
I think the Viewsonics I looked at in the same size were around $199 or so.. I wouldve got one but Im a broke and jobless kinda guy nowadays so had to get one as cheap as I could..

13' MacBook Pro i5 dual core(non retina) vs 15' MacBook Pro i7 quad core(non retina)

I'm looking to buy a laptop, I'm going to use it for some photoshop, and daily use of excel,iTunes,web browsing, watch videos. The following laptops are which I'm looking at: 13' MacBook Pro i5 dual core(non retina) and 15' MacBook Pro i7 quad core(non retina). Please let me know what you suggest. I'm looking for a laptop to last me at least 5 years.

I'm trying to stick w/o having to buy the super drive and need a lot of memory to store so that's why the retina laptops didn't come to mind. I was looking at the refurbished section and apple is selling a (non retina) 15' MacBook Pro 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, i7 quad core processor.

Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK. Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

Yes you can, I've done it myself and it works pretty good.
Usually doing this results in slower performance because the application's binaries aren't a type Intel's processor can read. So Apple's application Rosetta compiles these binaries and translates them to Intel to be read by the computer.
This all happens while you running the application, which is why performance is slower.
Not to worry much about the technical terms, I'm sure all you want to know is if it's possible, and it is.
