Emac Fire Wire to RCA DV Converter

Is there a Converter out there like the "Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter" for the Emac?

The same converter should also work on your eMac.

  • Connecting Fire Wire to a G4 400 PCI to Use Migratiion Assistant

  • Import (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire.  All photos (  many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS.

    Attempted to import 6.5 GB of (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire.  All photos (plus many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS.  I read a previous response to a similar question -- to copy the pictures library to the new computer.  How best to do that?

    There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
    Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

  • Video out fire wire port from iTunes?

    Final cut and Pro Tools LE both have the ability to send video from a G5 to a TV out of the fire wire port via a Canopus ADVC-110. Why doesn't iTunes? I understand that the new Mac TV gizmo plus an airport card will do this, but I already have all the hardware I need for this to work. I just need iTunes to take advantage of the same external video option that Final Cut and Pro Tools LE have. Anyone know of a patch or something that would make this happen. Or at least a stand alone player that will play the m4v iTunes video files and play video out fire wire port to my canopus which will then send it to the TV?

    In an attempt to get my iTunes downloaded TV episodes to play on my TV without having to buy the Apple TV hardware and an airport card I have been trying to find a way to convert the m4v video files into a format that can be read by a stand alone player that allows me to output video playback through my fire wire port so my canopus box can then send it to my tv and stereo. I tried iSquint and it does not work. I get an AppleScript error "Can't make "" into type real. (-1700)" If you hit OK the program then spins it's wheels with the progress report "Preparing Audio for File 1..." It is still my belief that Apple should enable iTunes to output video through the fire wire port. Since Final Cut Pro and Pro Tools LE have that ability and it works I assume that it should work wth iTunes. Please send iTunes feedback from within iTunes and ask apple to add this option to iTunes.

  • Fire wire ports - uses of & dangers advice

    Hi
    i recently daisy chained two lacie external hhds and noticed that the second was playing up -
    I checked various threads here & the general feeling was dont daisy chain
    the external hds just plug them straight in to the mac.
    This proved right because the brand new lacie just died three months after i bought it & i trace the erratic behaviours back to when i daisy chained.
    So i'm reduced to swapping fire wire cables into ports, depending on which external drive i want to power up - this is because i only have a limited amount of ports and people generally felt i should do it this way and not use a fire wire hub.....
    So im now concerned about if this constant plugging in & out of firewire cables is a potential danger to my mac...........
    Can anyone shed any opinion or warning that may be of use to my situation ?
    improvements, dangers etc......
    thanks
    d

    1. my issue with firewire hubs is that i want to
    transfer data between external hds - i was advised
    not to use a firewire hub to do this.
    The hub shouldn't cause a problem.
    The general
    advice is that the safest connections are direct into
    the computor.
    A properly designed device should have no problems with a properly designed hub, but not everything is properly designed. Manufactures like to blame hubs when their products don't work.
    However you've got me thinking....I've got three
    firewire ports,
    Are you sure? eMacs have two FireWire, and three USB ports.
    so maybe if i use two for two
    external hd's and the third with a firewire hub for
    my printer & scanner
    You have a FireWire printer and scanner? FireWire scanners are rare, and I haven't seen FireWire printers. USB is more common for printers and scanners.
    2. when you say go in backwards, you mean upside down.
    A FireWire plug is rectangular, with a pointed end, so it will only fit one way. If the socket is worn, it can be forced in the other way, and cause daage.

  • Possible to install fire wire card on Envy j157cl laptop

    I have a HP Envy 17 j157cl laptop that I plan to use as adedicated video editing platform. The only problem is that it doesnot have an I.link (hot wire) connector, only usb connectors. I have found a cable with USB terminal at one end and fire wire at the other. will this work? On the other hand, is there a fire wire board (card) than can be installed in the Envy 17?. The clips that I need to process now are in tape and can only be transferd to the computer via a vidio8 SOny vIdeocamera model DCR-TRV 520.

    No laptops now just have no internal slots for expansion. There used to be a product called a Dazzle Video studio. I looked around for it but it seems to be out of production. It connected via usb but had S-Video component video, and firewire video input. It is a fairly big thing that looks a bit like a docking station. Have you tried the usb to firewire cable? Some people say those work other say they do not. I never tried one. I actually keep an old laptop with firewire around just for video capture from my older DV camera. Does your video camera also have an RCA or S-video output port? If so you can use this:

  • Thunderbolt adaptor to fire wire not working

    I just Got the focus rite pro 40. works great with fire wire. I recently purchased the apple thunderbolt adaptor.
    Plug up power on device then computer. The software says hardware not connected.
    I'm using the plain Firewire 400 to 800, 6pin to 9pin cable with the apple thunder bolt.
    My computer is a  Mac mini server mid 2010, 2.66 intel 16 gb currently running 10.8.5
    Running Saffire mix control 3.4.
    So just trying to figure out why this isn't working at all
    Do I need to download drivers for the  thunderbolt adapter ? I can say that My thunderbolt worked fine with the adapter for Vga to run another monitor.
    My focusrite works fine with just firewire.  So could it be a bad adapter or is my mac mini not compatible.
    Any help with this is much appreciated

    The 2010 Mini does not have a Thunderbolt connector. It has a mini displayport for video out.
    The Thunderbolt to FW adopter only work when connected to a Thunderbolt port on a computer. It will not convert FR to Thunderbolt on an accessory.

  • Importing Video without Fire Wire

    How do I import video from my Sony HI8 camera which is not equipped with fire wire. Is it possible to do this using the USB port and if so How. Thanks. I am a Newbee

    If your Olympus software is incompatible with Mac, have you tried using a memory card reader to upload those photos? That's the great thing about Macs - you can usually do without the camera drivers and software,
    Long story short, I do hobby underwater photography/video and my equipment,while it works fine, is 1990 vintage, bulky, and a pain in the butt to travel with. I wanted to up grade to a camera that was small, would do stills and video and had an underwater housing available. I settled on the Olympus 710 with the 1 gig XD card. Problem was that the salesman told me that it would download into my HP and I could use Windows Movie Maker to edit movies. WRONG! WMM uses .avi format the camera saves in .mov. WMM can't use .mov so i bought a conversion program which converted it to .mov.avi.I now have 3 conversion programs, none of which work and to tell you the truth I wanted to strangle someone. A buddy of mine has a MAC and said it was the answer. I connected my camera to his Macbook and it immediately downloaded the photos and video without Olympus software and I could use the video in Imovie. I am happy. Now I just have to solve the "old stuff" problem. This forum has been very helpful.

  • 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.

  • How do you hook up a fire wire video camera to the 13 inch aluminum macbook

    I have a 13 inch mac book with only USB, but a video camera that only has a fire wire output jack.
    How can I hook up the camera with fire wire out to the USB in on the new 13 inch MB?
    Is there an accessory I can buy that will do this? Link to the product?
    Thanks!

    There is no option/accessory to do this. You'll need to get a different camera, or use a computer with firewire.

  • Install OS 10.2.1 on Fire Wire Drive

    If I purchase a Fire Wire Drive and cable, connect to my Pismo, can I install OSX 10.2.4 from a Software Install and Restore disk and use this drive for OSX activity? How should it be set up? Where can I find instructions for such a task?

    Homer, welcome, yes you can, however, I would highly recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of your OS on a separate partition on that external.

  • Unable to mount external fire-wire hard drive - help, please!

    After working the last couple of days to resolve the failure of an internal drive, now one of my external drives (LaCie fire-wire) will not mount. I was using it to back up the bad internal drive, and probably forgot to eject the drive before turning it off; don't know if this really makes any difference, but just in case...
    If I use Disk Utility I can see the LaCie drive, but it will not mount.
    When I tried to verify the drive got the following message -
    Invalid sibling link
    The volume LaCie HD needs to be repaired
    1 HFS volume checked - volume needs repair
    Next I tried to repair the drive, and was told -
    Invalid sibling link
    Volume check failed
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    This is where I stopped. I read another post somewhere in the forums about making a disk image of the drive, but I'm afraid of making things worse by proceeding without knowing what I'm doing. Any ideas on how I can somehow retrieve the data in the LaCie drive?
    Once again, thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi! Diskwarrior is always better at repairing drive directories which constitute 99% of all drive problems. I run it fairly regularly usually once a month. BUT I always run it at the first sign of weirdness or problems AND every time I have had a power failure or a forced restart or shutdown because those events usually always damage the drive's directory. Often even though the directory is damaged OSX can go ahead and mount it and it will work ok but eventually the damage builds every time one of those events occur and finally there is a failure to mount or boot.

  • HP Pavilion Elite m9040n Desktop and Fire Wire 1394

    I have the above mentioned Desktop. It has a 1394 plugin on the front of case. Does the Pavilion come with all the software to make fire wire work? I backed up my hard drive onto an Toshiba external disk with a USB cable the other day and it took 6 hours. Isn't fire wire suppost to transfer data faster than a USB cable? Is there any special things I need to know when buying fire wire 1394.
    I was looking on the internet the other day and they showed fire wire with 4 and 6 pins. Looking into the hole on my computer it only looks like 3 pins?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Rick, welcome to the forum.
    There is no software necessary for Firewire (IEEE 1394a).  The driver is installed with the OS.
    Here is the Motherboard Specifictions page for the computer.  It only shows that there is a Firewire (IEEE 1394a) port (# 11) in the Back I/O ports.
    Here is an article that shows the comparison of speed of Firewire vs USB.  Firewire was developed by Apple.
