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.

USB v Firewire Charging Pin

I have read that the reason the iPhone 3G does not charge anymore on 'older' third party devices (i.e. car docks/ BOSE sounddock) is because the firewire charging pin is no longer used on the iPhone 3G. Now, does anyone know of an adapter that can be purchased that effectively 'swaps' the firewire to USB charging pin? This way, although not perfect, once can simply interpose this adapter between the iPhone 3G and the third party device to at least enable charging!

It appears that someone finally created a converter to allow older firewire-type devices to charge newer iPods/iPhones...

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.

My iPhone 5 keeps pausing music using 30 pin to lightening adapter in my car

I have a Blitzsafe iPhone adapter in my car and recently upgraded to the iPhone 5. I purchased the wired 30 pin to lightening adapter and the music will start off playing fine but it randomly stops the music every 30 seconds or so, doesn't happen all the time but close. I have no issues playing music with headphones or through the speakers on the phone itself. And taking out the new adapter iPhone 4 or 4s play fine through my car stereo. Have a feeling it has something to do with that adapter but not sure why it would stop the music periodically. Any thoughts?

In which case try the Apple adapter in another environment to ensure it is functioning correctly
Assume this is the version you have

30 pin to lightning adapter broken?

My official apple 30 pin to lightning adapter has randomly stopped working. It worked in my car and on my dock, but all of a sudden the ipod says device not supported when connected and the dock doesn't connect at all. Tried girlfriend's iphone 5 and same result on the dock and in the car. Any advice or is it just the adapter that has broken? Thanks

Have checked for fluff and given it a good blow to clear anything out. The ipod charges fine with the lightning usb charger but still no joy. As the iphone didn't work either I suspect the chip may have failed. I purchased 6 November 2013 so just in the 12 months warranty so it looks as though a trip to the apple store may be required.
Thank you

30 Pin cable combined with a 30 pin to Lightning Adapter (iPhone 5 problem)

Hey guys, I Have an iPhone 5.
I have an old iPhone 4 cable (official apple) and a lightning adapter (again, official apple) and I can charge from the wall no problem, however I don't seem to be able to connect it to my laptop for iTunes to recognise it?/
It's not the usb ports as I borrowed my brother's iPhone 5 lightning cable and that seems to work perfect, is there any reason why this doesn't work?

If you mean the 30 pin to lightning adapter, then it should be from apple. It was pretty expensive and if i google the item number on google, Applestores webpage showes up as number 2 so it should be authentic!

How to use a high power wireless-n usb adapter

I recently purchased a kinamax high power wireless-n USB 2.0 adapter to boost my wifi signal. The data range is 802.11n. The only problem is that I can't use the adaptor. The box says that the supported OS is MAC OS X. But when I connect the adapter nothing happens. There is not even sign that the USB adapter is connected. Can anyone help me?

Hi Kelvin,
I understand that you want to control pins on your serial port using LabVIEW. Since you are using Windows XP, only LabVIEW version 7.0 will be able to control the pins. The pins can be controlled by modifying the values of the access registers that windows associates with each pin. If you are using LabVIEW 7.0, then the VI's located on the Funtions >> Advanced >> Port I/O palette should help you assign values to the proper pins.
This information can also be found on another discussion forum thread located at the following url:

Thanks for contacting NI, and I hope this helps.

USB adapter for Toshiba MK6034GSX

Does anybody know where to get a USB adapter to fit this hard drive. It has blade type connectors not pins? The laptop will not boot and I'm trying to extract the info if at all possible before I try a format.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That model is a SATA hard drive and uses standard SATA connections. The laptop manufacturer may have plug a special slot adaptor between the hard drive and interface port on the motherboard so you might have to remove that to connect it directly to a SATA connector. Dell in notorious for doing this.
Here is what the connections side looks like on this drive as it ships from the factory.

If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

USB adapter for PB3400/OS8.1

I have a PB3400 running OS8.1. I'd like to be able to connect a (PC compatible) USB memory stick to it, so I'm looking a for a USB adapter. The PB3400 has a slot for PCMCIA card. I've found a plenty of PCMCIA USB adapter cards but none will work with OS8.1. Are there any drivers available? Do I have any other options?
Many thanks.

Alan,
Even though the PB3400 does not officially support USB (32-bit), it does have the Texas Instruments 32-bit chip on the logic board. You do, however, require a minimum of OS 8.6 so you can install the USB Adapter Card Support.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132
Here also is a website discussing using a USB PC card on the 3400:
http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html
Please be aware that even a USB 2.0 PC card will still only run at the slower 1.1-speeds under 8.6 > 9.2.2. Also, the USB and FireWire PC cards do not supply the bus power required to run peripherals like a USB 2.5" HD, so I don't know how much voltage is required for the USB memory stick.
You may be better served with this configuration:
- Buy the SanDisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter (16-bit) for the PCMCIA card slot of the 3400; no drivers are required.
- Buy the SanDisk MS/MS Pro I/ II Reader (USB) for any computer that has a USB port.
- Buy a SanDisk xxxMB Memory Stick PRO.
All of the above can be seen at this link; just at the Products list on the left side. I imagine similar hardware is available from other vendors also.

Just bought a 30 pin digital AV adapter. What other cords get attached to it besides the one from computer to adapter and the one to keep the iPad charged. I have another hole to fill on the adapter.

Just bought a 30 pin digital tv adapter. What other cords get attached to it besides the power cord to the iPad and the link between the tv and the adapter.? I have a hole for another cord.

The HDMI goes to the TV.
The USB goes to the charger.

Apple USB adapter VS world travel adapter kit!

Firstly, i'm posting this here becausa i didn't find a better place.
Well, I need a wall plug for recharging my ipod and since the price difference between these 2 products is only $10 I started to think which one is the best.
I mean..obviusly the travel kit comes with the charger and many more stuff, and the usb adapter comes all by itself. Does that mean the usb adapter is better in some way?
Could you guys give me hints for choosing between them?
Thanks!

The travel kit contains the adaptors needed to charge the iPod from international power outlets. The USB adaptor can only charge it from outlets using one pin configuration.

If I get a FireWire 800 male to USB female, and a Firewire female to Thunderbolt cable

If I get a FireWire 800 male to USB female, and a Firewire female to Thunderbolt Male cable, would I gain any transfer speed of the thunderbolt over standard USB speed? So basically I'm talking about chaining together a few cables and am trying to gain more transfer speed. Thanks......

Apple has announced a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, but not yet given a release date.

Safe to charge iPhone with Blackberry USB adapter?

I have the small wall-plug-to-USB adapter from my Blackberry that looks like the one below. Is it safe to use a standard Apple 30 pin + USB connecter (pictured below the Bberry connector) with it to charge my iPhone 4S? Otherwise I have to buy a second Apple-branded connector to have one at both home and work.

usb is 5volt ios devices can charge with anything that provide 5volts
if the charger don't follow the usb std and provide 50volts the phone will explode
