Firewire and Airport

Hello to all!
I've got wireless router and access internet from iMac and MBP. So far so good. I've also set up a network and can exchange files between them, but the connection is not good fast, so I bought a firewire cable and plugged. I didnt know what and hot to setup. When I tried use the network I could see by the speed the connection was still via wireless router. How can I keep using wireless for the internet and use a firewire cable to exchange files?
Thank you all!!!

Glad you found a workable solution.

    How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

  • How to get iMovie version 9.09/2009 Mac version 10.7.5 to recognize JVC GR-DX77U camcorder via 9 pin to 4 pin firewire and import video

    My question: Is it possible to get iMovie version 9.09/2009 MacBook Pro/ Mac Os X version 10.7.5 to recognize JVC GR-DX77U camcorder via 9 pin to 4 pin firewire and import video?
    My camcorder is recognized with 4 pin to 4 pin firewire on laptop with Windows operating system; however, it will not recognize on MacBook Pro with 9pin to 4 pin firewire. JVC website does not offer any updated camcorder driver software for this camcorder and older version driver on CD will not download onto MacBook Pro.

    Hi
    With the reservation of that I us:
    • iMovie 9.0.4

    see my notes
    NO CAMERA or A/D-box

    • Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    • Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    • Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
    A/D-box
    • Is the dip-switches set right ?
    • Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
    • Try resetting it
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    • FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
    External device’s (hard disk’s)
    • Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited. No Camera or A/D-box
    • GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
    • Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
    • White MacBooks - don't
    • MacBook-Air - don't
    if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
    else - NO SOLUTION
    Only option as I get it is either
    • Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
    • Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
    • If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
    You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
    has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.

    • Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    • Screen Saver - OFF
    • Energy Saver - OFF
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
    No Camera or bad import

    The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

    Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
    //support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
    What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
    Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
    Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
    Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
    This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

  • IP over Firewire AND Ethernet  connected cluster?

    Does anyone have any experience with IP over Firewire and Qmaster? What I'm trying to do (for now) is to have a file server connected to a bunch of Firewire HD's, then that connected to two other macs via IP over Firewire, and all that be a cluster.
    The file server is the controller. Or I want it to be at least. Connected to this cluster are two workstations, connected to the file server via Ethernet.
    So it's File Server with several external Firewire HD's connected to it with the video data. Connected to this file server are two macs via IP over Firewire which will be services only nodes. Connected to ALL of this over ethernet are two editing workstations. Qadmin can't seem to see the two mac nodes connected via IP over Firewire.
    The problem is that Qadminstrator can't see the two macs connected to the file server via IP over Firewire. I'm wondering if for some reason data can't go from Ethernet to IP over Firewire and back again.
    Any tips or suggestions? I'm just about out of ideas for now.

    I was also NOT ABLE to use both nodes connected in a MIX of ETHERNET and FIREWIREover IP.
    I WAS able to get a 4 x NODE cluster working using SHAKE & COMPRESSOR/QMASTER using all GbE EThernet - I went out and bought a cheap 8 x PORT ethernet GbE hub and all my problems went away.
    HEre's what I had initially and what I did and it DIDN'T work consistently..:
    Hardware Initially:
    • g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
    • G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
    • G5 QUAD GBE2 connected to #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
    • G5 QUAD FW0 connected to 1 x MBPDC 17 on its FW1 with 6 pin FW cable
    • G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
    • MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
    • thus 3 x SUBNETS
    SETUP#1- problem symptoms
    • via QMASTERADMIN - G5 CONTROLLER could see MBPDC 17 and ONE of the MBP15;s but not all of them.
    •tries various configs on each FW and EN0 for boths FW and EN paths.. never consistent view..
    • removed some FW disks from FW400 path that were attached to CONTROLLER G5 host ... could then see ALL as a MIX of THERNET and FW. (Same happens using FW800 - although avoided this because of sperious DISK issues wth external FW800 disks on G5 QUAD).
    • created cluster (not a quick cluster)- sent simple long I-FRAME based DV-PAL to smaller DVPAL) codec test to compressor and set the CLUSTER to the QMASTER on I defined.
    • set QMASTER controller sys pref to use ALL NETWORK PATHS and disbaled the AIRPORT subnets on each MACHINE)
    • PROBLEM was only G5(controller+services) and TWO of the services nodes (MBPDC's) were processing - NEVER all three! It didn't seem to matter what IP path was onnected (EN or FW).
    • - all the above was a NO go waster of time. (aggh)
    so..
    HARDWARE SET UP #2 and what worked first time!
    • purchased 1 x GBE Ethernet hub (8xport) w/P/supply and four 1m ethernet cables
    • g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
    • G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to GBE HUB
    • #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
    • #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
    • #1 x MBPDC 17 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
    • G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
    • MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
    • thus 1 x SUBNET....!
    WORKS EVERY TIME First time
    • all machines work to render or transcode.
    • for SHAKE RENDERING, each CPU has a process.. so there seems to be as many as (4 x 1)+2 + 2 + 2 rendering processes at any one time.
    • less for COMPRESSOR as one per HOST (4 in my case)
    Also.. in QMASTERADMIN - always:
    • have the SOURCE and TAGET disk volumes|directories ou need MOUNTED (NFS works for me) and
    • set to NEVER COPY.
    • set QMASTER sys prefs/Advanced/"USe NEtwork Interface = EN0 (or whatever one you want to use. 'd imagine that a FW hub would also do the job (IPoFW).... but for me I had all free ETHERNETs NICS so I used them.
    • oh .. enable all your airports NICS.. .. in the above QMASTER wont use this subnet.
    This speeds the WORKFLOW up enormously because the source material does not have to be COPIED to each host (well I think that what it means).
    So the solution in my case was to have ALL the HOSTS on a SINGLE subnet..
    works for me.
    hope that helps

  • FW800 and Airport conflicting

    I posted this at the end of a thread started a few months ago and got nothing. So here's a second try at getting some help.
    Bottom line: FW800 and Airport don't like each other on my 24-inch iMac.
    I tried a WD MyBook Pro 500GB external drive and the drive wouldn't stay mounted using FW800. It would mount and then unmount sporadically and never stay mounted with any consistency.
    I figured it was the drive, sent the MyBook back to Amazon and bought an OWC Mercury Elite Pro. Plugged it in and had the same problem. This time, I try FW400 and it works fine. So I search here and someone else said if they turn off their Airport 802.11n card, FW800 works with their drive. So I did that and that solves the problem.
    However, I bought the Airport Extreme in March for a reason and it wasn't so I could use an Ethernet cable with my new iMac. I have AppleCare, so I call them and get I'm guessing the newest guy in the call center. He says "If turning off the Airport works, what's the problem?" Well, because I paid for a computer that's supposed to run FW800 and Airport at the same time. So he goes to his supervisor or whoever, comes back and tells me that I should re-set the PRAM and the power (which I had done already without success). Otherwise, Mr. Newbie tells me they don't support third-party drives and I should contact OWC. I called OWC for a laugh, knowing the drive's not the problem and the guy suggested I install the 10.4.10 Combo Update. That was at least a decent suggestion ... But it didn't work.
    At this point, I'm perplexed. I know from reading posts here that the Airport shouldn't be interfering with the FW800 port, but I know what I'm seeing. The drive works fine on FW800 as long as Airport is off ... turn it on and the drive disappears and comes back and disappears again. Apple obviously doesn't have any solution except to blow me off and I'm guessing my best hope is that Leopard will resolve things when it's finally released? Anybody got any other suggestions?

    Hi i20west!
    Sounds as if the problem is with the settings on the Network panel of System Preferences. [I don't have an answer for what might have happened.]
    First, turn on AirPort in the menu bar icon. Open System Preferences, open the Network panel, click on the "Assist me..." button at the bottom of the panel, followed by clicking the blue "Assistant..." button in the drop-down box. [Do NOT click the "Diagnostics..." button.]
    "Network Setup Assistant" will open while System Preferences will remain open behind it. On the "Introduction" pane, for convenience enter "airport to router" in the "Location Name:" box and click the "Continue" button. On the "How Do You Connect to the Internet?" pane, activate (by clicking) the radio button left of "I use AirPort to connect to the Internet wirelessly." and click the "Continue" button.
    Read and proceed. After configuration is completed you will see in bold at the top "Congratulations! You Are Connected." Click the "Done" button and Network Setup Assistant will close and quit. There should be a message box in front of System Preferences stating that "Your network settings have been changed by another application." That's as it should be, since you just used another app to make those changes, so click "OK" and close.
    Finally, change the "Show:" selector to "Network Port Configurations" and select (highlight) the line "AirPort" and simply use the mouse to drag the entire line to the top of the list. Drag the "Built-in FireWire" line to second position in the list. Verify that both boxes are checked to the left. Follow by clicking the "Apply Now" button at bottom right.
    The above will change none of the previous settings in other configurations that are maintained in the Network panel of System Preferences. The name of each of those different configurations is displayed in the "Location:" selector for you to choose how you wish to be connected. You should now see on that selector the name you earlier gave this new configuration - "airport to router"
    While it may appear to be confusing, you'll notice that after you switch from one configuration name to another and have clicked the "Apply Now" button - the settings that you will see on each pane will be the ones that are appropriate for that configuration.
    Once you have a working configuration, be careful not to edit any of its settings followed by clicking the "Apply Now" button, as that will alter the configuration so that it may no longer work.
    Rather than haphazardly editing a working configuration, it's less confusing to simply initiate an entirely new configuration, as you've just done above. If that would then continue to work better for you, say for a month or so, then the prior configuration, and other old configurations, may no longer be necessary, and can be deleted from the "Location:" selector.

  • Bluetooth and Airport have disappeared on my Imac G5 20"

    So it just disappeared one day, and I haven't seen it since. It happened a while back, but I'd like to sell the computer and it would be better if I had the Bluetooth and Airport back. From what I can tell from the forums, it's a software issue. I've tried some of the remedies people have suggested (pulling the power cord, etc... clear the PRAM, ditch the bluetooth.plist, plus probably a few others),  but to no avail. Any other suggestions, or is it a lost cause? It's a 2.0 HHz PowerPC G5 with 1 GB RAM; 10.5.6

    Option 1
    Restart the computer while holding down the Option key.  This will tell the computer to look for bootable drives.  If it finds your normal startup disk, select let, then click the right pointing arrow to boot up the computer.  Now open up System Preferences> System> and select your normal Startup OS as the default startup disk.
    Option 2
    Reset your PRAM.  Press and hold down the Command Option P R keys while starting your computer.  You will hear the startup chime.  continue holding down those keys until you hear the startup chime a second time.  Release the keys.  If the computer restarts, you will need to reset your Date and Time.  It might be time to replace your PRAM battery.  The G5 iMacs require a 3 volt CR2032 lithium watch/camera battery like below:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CR2032/
    You can find these batteries at Walmart, Kmart, Target, most local drugstore chains, for between $3-$5, or at Radio Shack for $12-$20.
    If you have any G5 iMac model EXCEPT the iSight version, you can probably do the battery install yourself.  Watch this video on upgrading your iMac's RAM to show you how to remove the back of your iMac, if you don't already know how:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_g5_mem_m/
    While you have the back off, use a can of compressed air to blow the dust out the vents at the bottom of the iMac, the fans, and anywhere else you can.  Also inspect the 28-30 capacitors on the logic board.  Look for dark spots, if they look puffy or swollen, or leaks.
    Option 3
    Reset the SMC by removing all cables (USB, Firewire, Ethernet, Modem, Power cord) from the back of your computer.  Let it sit for one minute.  Press and hold the power on button on the back of the iMac while plugging in the power cord.  Release the power on button.  Count to five, the press the power on button again.
    Option 4
    Place your original, came with the iMac when purchased install disk, into the slot on the iMac, press and hold the C key while pressing the power on button on the back of the computer.  (If you have upgraded your OS from when you purchased your iMac, example your iMac came with OS 10.3 installed, and you're now using OS 10.5, then use the OS 10.5 Retail Install disk that you had used to upgrade your OS instead of the original, came with the iMac disk.) 
    Continue holding the C key until you see the OS starting to load.  DO NOT do an OS installation.  At the top Menu bar, select Utilities or Utility, and pull down to Disk Utility.  On the left side of the window that opens,select your normal OS drive.  Click First Aid at the top middle of the window if it isn't already selected.  Click Repair Disk from the lower right area of the window.  When that is done, click Repair Permissions to the left of the Repair Disk button you clicked earlier.
    When that is done, quit Disk Utility.  From the top Menu bar (I think its under Utilities) select the Start Up Manager, and choose your normal boot volume as the startup disk.  Restart the computer.  If successful, and you've rebooted from your normal startup disk, eject the install DVD/CD, and you're good to go.
    Good luck.

  • Firewire 800 & Airport Extreme?

    Hello,
    I have a Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver 2002) and I am upgrading some of my internal components. I was curious as the the fact, is it possible to put a third party Firewire 800 card in my machine and run a Airport Extreme card through it? I already have a original Airport card in it, but I am looking for something with wireless g/n capabilities. I know there are third party wireless cards I can buy that will do the same thing but I would just like to know if it is possible to do it this way. Any ideas or suggestions would help!
    Thanks!

    The AirPort Extreme card is compatible with a FireWire 800 G4. The combined Bluetooth and AirPort card reference is for the last Power Mac G5 revision.

  • Wireless modem and Airport Express.. one at a time

    Recently my internet provider upgraded my old plug in modem to a newer wireless model. Now it seems that the current setting allow communication with only one or the other at the same time. If I want to be online with the wireless modem and send my iTunes music via Airport Express to my sound system, no dice. I have to either click on the modem up in the Airport choices to be online and listen to iTunes through the computer speakers, or go offline to listen to music through the sound system and Airport Express.
    I'm sure I'm just missing something in preferences or settings somewhere.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks, and Happy New Year!

  • How to Set Up Time Capsule With Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    Just got a new 1TB Time Capsule. I want it to be the main base station for my network. I already have a network set up with an older Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express to extend it. I am thinking that rather than setting up the Time Capsule to "join" the old network, the best approach is to disconnect the Airport Extreme and Airport Express and reset them. Then set up the Time Capsule as a brand new network and bring the reset Aiport Extreme and Express onto the new network as if my original network never existed.
    Is that the right approach or am I complicating it? Can I just join the Time Capsule to the existing network and still make it the main base station for the network?

    I'd first use AirPort Utility to "Save a Copy As" of your AirPort Extreme settings. Then disconnect it, connect the Time Capsule in its place, and use AirPort Utility's "Import" function to read those settings. (Both of those functions are under AirPort Utility's "File" menu.) You may have to adjust a few settings. Once you have the Time Capsule working as you want, you can reconfigure your AirPort Extreme unit as you wish.

  • Can I stream music to apple tv and airport express at the same time?

    Does anyone know if I can stream music to both AppleTV and Airport Express (speakers) at the same time?
    I have a TV in my living room and external speakers on my deck and want to stream music to both at the same time so I have the same music playing in both rooms - but I can't get an answer on IF I can do both at the same time or it I'd have to select one over the other?
    Anyone know?

    yes - the built-in music app allows to select one speaker only at the same time.
    now i've found the WHAALE Multiroom Player App (http://www.whaale.com) - and it sends directly from the iOS Device to my 6 AirPlay speakers. One of them is an Apple TV...
    all "in sync" and without any special hardware and additional software.
    And i am able to stream different songs to different rooms...
    Just AirPlay speakers - wifi router - WHAALE -> that's easy :-)

  • I have both TimeCapsule and Airport, and run two mac computers in the house on the one network. The airport often can not be found, and the signal is incredibly weak unless in the same room as the modem. Previously our signal was strong and effective.

    The signal has been strong and effective previously and as far as i'm aware that nothing else in the house has changed. We have two apple computers, appletv, an ipad, 2 iphones, time capsule, and airport all running off the same network. If there is product, a configuration or program we can get to help diagnose and or solve any connectivity issue that would be awesome

    The  Powerline adapters mentioned by edex67 are your only hope if you cannot run an Ethernet cable.
    Even if the home and office are on the same electrical circuit, you won't really know how well the Powerline adapters might work until you actually try them out at your location.
    For that reason, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.

    Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

  • Cardbus slot (And therefore firewire and SD card??) performanc​e very slow after Windows 8.1 update.

    Hi All,
    Just updated to Windows 8.1 64 bit from Windows 8. The Cardbus slot speed/bandwidth has dropped considerably to the point that it is now unusable since the update. It worked fine before, although I had a similar problem in the past which was cured by a BIOS update. Since the RICOH chip that controls this slot also control the Firewire and the SD Slot, I was wondering whether these are also affected?
    Does anyone else have the same issue? I expect it affects all computer with this chip: T61/X61/R61 etc etc.
    Would someone who is on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8.0 64 bit mind sending me the pci.sys and pcmcia.sys files so that I can try rolling the drivers back to a previous version?
    System details:
    Thinkpad X61 Tablet
    Core 2 Duo 1.6
    8GB RAM
    128GB SSD
    Windows 8.1
    Many thanks.

    I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.
