Firewire for a HP Notebook?

I am looking to buy a Canon Vixia HV40 for filming short films and I know this kind of camera requires firewire in order to upload the media.
I just bought the HP Sweet Purple 15.6" Pavilion G6-1A59WM Laptop PC with Windows 7 and Intel Core i3 and I want to know how I can connect Firewire this this laptop. I'm pretty sure this type of laptop does not have a Firewire port.
I know there are two ways to connect Firewire if the laptop does not have a Firewire port - by Expresscard or by an external PC port but I 'm not sure if either of those methods will work with this laptop.
Can someone tell me if I have a chance of using Firewire with this laptop?

Hi,
You can use Express card (preferred option) or USB to Firewire like this (just example only, we need female connector)

  • Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor. 6-pin IEEE 1394 firewire for video transfer

    Will the Apple Thunderbolt to firewire adaptor work with a IEEE 1394 6-pin firewire for video transfers?

    You'll need a Firewire 800 (9-pin) to Firewire 400 (6-pin) adapter or cable, but yes, it should then work.

  • HELP urgently needed: My Sandberg FireWire for Laptop will not start on my T60

    Let me start with information on my T60:
    OS information: Microsoft Windows XP
    OS version: 5.10.2600   Service Pack 2
    Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8
    Memory: 3.135.856 kb
    BIOS version: 2.09  (79ETC9WW)
    Machine type-Model: 1951A47
    I have just got a new Sandberg FireWire for Laptop, a PC Card with 3 6-pins connectiont. After inserting the card in the PC Card slot, the Windows Device Manager tells me that there are problems with the card. Looking at the 1394 Card Properties the status says:
    "This device cannot start. (Code 10) - Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
    The troubleshooter did not solve my problem. I have tried disconnecting, re-connection, shut down Windows and start again etc.
    At Sandberg Help Desk they tell me that I have two slots in my laptop, one with a 16 bits bus and another with a 32 bits slots, and I should use the latter. It seems that I can use the lower slide only in my laptop and I cannot push the card into the upper slide. There is not enough room for it.
    Here is what I found on Lenovo's support site on my type & model:
     PC Card
    Conforms to the PC Card Standard 95
    Type II slot
    Both the 16-bit Release 2.1 card standard and the 32-bit CardBus card are supported.
    Have a look at these screen captures.
    What should I do to solve my urgent problem!?

    Sounds to me like a driver configuration problem.  Maybe something bad happened during driver install.  I would recommend uninstalling the device from device manager by right clicking on it and hitting uninstall.  Reboot the computer.  Have a go at it again.  Also, test your pcmcia port functionality by finding and plugging in a different card.  See if that works.  It might need repair.

    The status right now is:
    The PC Card reader works on my T60
    If I use a Firewire PC Card it will not start - as described above (on T60)
    The PC Card work properly on my T61P - and I succeeded importing a video file from a digital camera using the Fireswire PC Card.
    So what does a wise man do in this situation??
    Please help me as I urgently need to know how to solve this serious issue!! 
    Have you got an idea? Can I import the video in another way??

  • Firewire for interface and hard drive

    I have a firewire Lacie external hard drive and m-audio 410 firewire interface, does using firewire for both affect the overall performance in logic express, or firewire and usb is better?

    Hi John,
    I use usb and firewire just because my audio interface doesn't have firewire.
    Also, has been using booth firewire ports on my PowerBook, with the Lacie on one and a camera on the other importing video, and had no problems.
    So, I think you're ok, you have a G5, Firewire's faster, you really shoudn't have reasons to worry. Give it a go!

    iCal reminders for iPod and notebook battery have broken links and are not functioning. I went to http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html and midway down on the right side is a link to install a ical reminder. That link does not work with my laptop.

  • What I do to pass the imported photos to the iPad (via the connection kit) for an HP notebook?

    what I do to pass the imported photos to the iPad (via the connection kit) for an HP notebook? I want to move pictures to the notebook because I'm afraid to upgrade to ios 6 and losing my photos

    You don't. The CCK doesn't support the export of photos at all. You can upload them to something like Flicker or dropbox adn then download them onto your computer.

  • I'm looking for a simple Notebook template for Pages.  Any help?

    I'm looking for a simple "notebook" looking journal that can be used in Pages.  This can also be a journal that has dates; actually, that is preferable, but just a notebook is a minimally satisfactory template.

    Hi Mark,
    No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
    This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

    Ian.

  • Drivers for HP 15 Notebook PC 15-r033TX

    Where is the drivers for HP 15 Notebook PC 15-r033TX. I try to find and it is showing the following error:
    HP was unable to find the page you wanted. Please view the information below to get support for your product.
    Please provide the link to download drivers for this Notebook PC.
    Thanks.

    Hi:
    HP is aware of the problem with the support pages, and will fix them as soon as possible.
    Since this is a consumer to consumer forum and we don't work for HP, we do not know when the support pages will be operational again.
    If you are in a hurry to get Windows installed on your notebook, you can use most of the Windows drivers and software from the Probook 450 G2 on yours, except for perhaps the graphics.
    http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6943827&lang=en&cc=us
    In order to install the graphics drivers in your model, you need to first install the Intel chipset driver from the above model and reboot.
    Then install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot.  Use this one if the one from the 450 G2 doesn't work.

    Then install the nvidia graphics driver and reboot.

  • Firewire for Alesis Multimix 12 Firewire mixer

    About a year plus ago I got A Alesis multimix 12 fire wire mixer and a Satellite A135-S4677 laptop to do portable recordings.. I could NEVER get it to work so I went back to Windows XP. Now I am back trying to get them to work together. The lap top will not recognise the firewire connection to the mixer. Is there any hope or is this a lost cause, anyone, please help.

  • What's the "best" external/portable hard drive for a Mac Notebook?

    I've gone through 2 completely different kinds of WD external hard drives with my Mac Notebook (late-2011, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2), and both literally burned out after only about 18 months.  The disk itself completely died and even when I took it to a computer repair store and they cracked the case open to extract the disk itself to hook up to another drive, it was still dead or wouldn't work.  I had to have it shipped out to a 3rd party data recovery service both times to have some/most of the data salvaged and recovered (and each times it cost me between $700-$1,000!).
    I use my external drive as my main data source and store all of my files there due to it's portability advantages, so I probably do run these external drives pretty hard, especially when running iTunes.
    Unless told otherwise, I'm getting away from the WD products for obvious reasons.
    So which brand of portable external drives are the most reliable and/or "best" for Mac Notebook users?  I'm looking for something that's at least 1 TB and connects via Firewire 800.
    Thanks in advance.
    - Rob

    Given the low cost of an external HD compared with the expense of data recovery services it might be an idea to buy two HD's and duplicate the data across both drives, then if one fails you still have all your data on the other which can be quickly and easily copied across to a new drive to replace the failed one - so you always have two copies of your data.

    hi yan_c,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
    Have you tried to check the timings of the 2x2GB RAM if they are identical to the original 1GB RAM? You can use CPU-Z to check the timings of the 1GB RAM inside of Windows. As for the 2x2GB RAM, the timings should be in the packaging material.
    Sample timings:

    Source: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-3000-N2​00-Notebook.9088.0.html
    It's possible that the Memory Reference Code under the BIOS can't initiate the RAM if it has different timings. Flashing the BIOS would be the second step in this scenario.
    Hope this helps.

  • Only FIREWIRE for playback on External Display???

    Hi,
    i'm still work on the setting of Preview on an External Display (TV). FCP only support FIREWIRE but NOT USB??? cause most of my Consumer Device only provide USB port.
    No other way to set it up? Is the DVI output an good option (bypass FW device/converter)?
    Thanks...really need help

    Firewire only if you are working with DV or DVCPRO HD footage...that's it. All other formats require a capture card or external converter. USB is not designed for streaming video.
    You can get a DVI converter...that will send a MONITOR signal out, and you can use Digital Cinema Preview, but that will be a low res output. Full res output require the external boxes or capture cards...or firewire if you are working with DV or DVCPRO HD.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
    If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
    VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
    If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
    If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
    The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.
