Firewire port for p7 1455

Hi there, I'm wondering which fire wire port is compatible with the Pavilion P7-1455?
thank you!

Hi:
You can get any standard PCI Express x1 firewire card for your PC.
It would go into one of those 3 small black slots parallel to the bottom of the motherboard picture.
Below is a link to a vendor that offers several models.  Different transfer speeds, etc.
Pick the one that has the best reviews, fits your budget and needs.
Just make sure it is a PCIe x1 card.

  • Is a 1394 mini firewire port for DV cameras a regular firewire port?

    I wanted use the mini 1394 mini fire wire port for some peripherals (IDE drive in firewire enclosure). I have digital camera cable with a 4pin? mini firewire plug and a 6pin? normal fire wire plug (both are males). Or mini fire wire ports for cameras only. All I will do is some backups, performance is not needed.
    Just cause it fits, it don't make it right. (remember the ADB and Svhs cables?)
    I do not want to be surprised with a burnt inexpensive resistor that cost very much to change.
    Thankyou in advance

    No, Apple dropped the firewire port on the White Unibody MacBooks in 2009. If you you need a firewire port you'll have to upgrade to a MacBook Pro or get a used pre-2009 MacBook.

  • Firewire port for Canon XH-A1s camera

    I am considering buying a Canon XH-A1s camera. However, I would have to connect it to a firewire port, and don't currently have one on my macbook. Is there any way to have one installed? (also, I've heard that USB to Firewire adapters don't work for this purpose).

  • Is it possible to connect MBPR with Cinema HD Display 30" 's Firewire Port for iSight

    I want to buy a external iSight for my old Cinema HD Display 30" ,as i don't have enough space to open my notebook to use the built-in iSight camera.
    I know they are very old item, but i think they have very beautiful design and great quality, i want to use them
    I have already using the 30" Display by Dual Link-DVI converter, i don't have any firewire device, i don't know is it still work for using Thunderbolt (MacBook) -> Firewire800 (Adapter)-> Firewire400(converter) -> Cinema HD Display FW port -> external iSight
    or is there any other solution for me?
    or should i give up this setting
    As i don't want to use other brand USB camera, other brand no need to consider.
    Thanks for attention

  • Audigy platinum ex firewire port

    We are having great difficulty using the firewire port on an audigy platinum ex. The audigy has worked very well for three years. The machine is an AMD Athlon 2GHz, AOpen m/board, Win XP with SP2.
    We recently bought a LaCie d2 extreme 200GB triple interface HD. When connected to the port on the external audigy box, or to the port on the rear of the PCI card, this dri've is not recognosed by the computer. It does not appear as a HD in the hard disk section of the device manager, and we can see no evidence of a firewire client running, though the PCI OHCI Compliant IEEE394 Host Controller is installed and working. From this we conclude that the OS is set up for firewire devices, but that for some reason it is not being detected.
    When we connect the LaCie dri've to a USB2 port on the machine, the device works fine; we can see the dri've, access it for directory & file lists, and read & write files to/from the dri've. We have also tried the LaCie on other machines fitted with USB2, with Win2000 & Win98 and it works fine. We therefore conclude that the LaCie does not have a fault itself. This hard dri've has its own power supply, and is not reliant on the power capabilities of either IEEE394 or USB2.
    We have 'discussed' the matter with LaCie. They have asked us whether the IEEE394 port we are experiencing difficulty with is engineered only for DV, or whether it is engineered to be connected to mass storage device such as a hard dri've. We were unaware that ther were such differences with IEEE394, and we have no way of checking this; the Creative labs specification does not go into this detail.
    Therefore, the questions we would like to pose to the community are as follows:
    . Is this port known for certain to be engineered for the attachment of mass storage devices?
    2. Has any body actually attached a mass storage device to the external dri've box port or the port on the audigy PCI card?
    3. has anybody actually use da LaCie d2 extreme 200GB dri've on these ports?
    4. What set-up procedures were followed to get a LaCie to work?
    Although we are 'newbie' status on this site we do have considerable experience of computers and computing going back to 966, and covering most types of machine that have been extant in the intervening period. This includews working with PC's since 983 and as systems engineers on Unix technical workstations. This problem does illustrate that no matter what ones experience level is, there is always something that can baffle, as this has done to us.
    We'd like to thank in advance anybody who can contribute information to solve this problem, or indeed anybody who reads the posting and could point us in the right direction.
    Regards
    John Smith

    I have been using a Maxtor One Touch external USB/Firewire hard dri've and a Canon digital camcorder on the Platinum Audigy Ex Firewire port for over a year with no problems except for the time the plug on the extension cable inadvertently got pulled out of the back of the Ex box when I moved some equipment around.
    I am running Windows XP Professional SP2, and I upgraded to it after I started using the Audigy Platinum Ex Firewire port. No problems either before or after.

  • Did Apple fix the firewire issue for OS X lion yet?

    I really need to use my firewire port for my interface to run showtracks for live shows

    Hi again,
    I do not know the drive. Might not even be in this country.
    However ther was an UpDate to your programm released yesterday
    I think to solve problems with Lion.
    Also have you checkedif your drive needs a firmware update?
    Cheers Tomi

  • I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage.  This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
    The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port.  There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

  • Checking for FireWire port trouble

    Hello,
    I've got an iMac G3 running OS 10.4.11 and would like to know if there is a way to check the status of the 2 FireWire ports without the external DVD drive that was used to install OS X. The drive stopped working and has been sent for repair and/or replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you want to confirm that the FireWire bus/port is operating correctly and that it's not the cause of the external DVD drive's failure? Obviously, another FireWire device would provide the answer, since you're not going to be able to check the FireWire controller chip on the motherboard.

  • G5 Firewire-ports poor for audio interfaces??

    Hello. I have reason to believe that the FireWire-ports on the new G5:s are not really stable enough to handle an audio interface. Storage devices are okay (much less complex protocol).
    My G5 constantly loses contact with my Digi 002R interface, or chokes on CPU even on low level usage, and on the Pro Tools forum many users have experienced this. The G4:s had much more stable FW-ports!
    For some users it helps to use only one of the two FW400-ports, not both.
    Is this a known issue? Has Apple ever commented on this? Does the warranty cover this? (It should)
    Niljam, new to this forum

    I recently switched from a MOTU 828 running off the FW400 connector on the back of my G5 to a Yamaha mLan-based solution.
    When I switched to mLan, admittedly running potentially tons more channels in/out, the internal FW bus "fell over" (connector on the front and the 400 and 800 connectors are all on the same bus no matter it turns out).
    I popped a PCI firewire card and the audio stuff worked MUCH better, it was immediate. That's not to say that things work perfectly now... if the machine has been in sleep mode for a while, mLan's autoconnector hangs quite severely, whereby it's not even possible to force quit it... really ugly actually.
    at any rate... for 8 in/out, certainly on MOTU, the on-board FW will "do", but it's probably best to get another FW card, especially if you're going to put sample libraries etc on an external FW drive, then you'd want that to be separate from the audio streams...
    hope this helps!

  • COMPATIBLE CAMCORDER & EXTERNAL HARDRIVE FOR MacBook WITHOUT FIREWIRE PORT.

    Good Evening Ladies & Gentleman,
    I have a MacBook(13" Aluminum 2008 version) that does NOT have a firewire port, just USB.
    - As far as CAMCORDERS go, What Model and Brand is best compatible with it?
    - Also, as far as EXTERNAL HARDRIVES goes, which ones will be most compatible with the MacBook 13" Aluminum version 2008?
    - SUGGESTIONS WILL BE MUCH, MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS.

    Hey,
    As for camcorders - I don't really think that there is any limitation caused by your Macbook. Perhaps every single model by all the wide-known manufacturers as Canon, Sony, Panasonic, etc. has a USB port, so you don't have to worry about firewire.
    As for external hard drives - You can find a huge number of external hard drives that are 100% compatible with all Macs for sure, on the Apple Online Store.

  • IMac FireWire port used for USB device

    I have a 27" iMac which of course has a FireWire port, but I don't own any external FireWire devices. I'd like to put that empty port to use as a USB port to connect an external storage device. Is there a cable, converter, or adapter made to do that?

    Common user always looks at the bottom line price on computer peripherals and USB devices are always cheaper. USB 2.0, in theory, should be faster than FireWire 400, but they usually aren't because of the way USB transfers data in short bursts or packets of data. FireWire 400 and 800 drives are faster as they transmit data in a more continuous, constant and reliable stream of data.
    This is why devices that use FireWire or have both USB and FireWire connections are always more expensive.
    So, those users never use the FireWire port.
    FireWire is faster for external hard drives, especially data transfers and for booting and running a Mac from an external FireWire drive. FireWire optical drives are faster. FireWire audio devices and interface devices are even faster and more reliable than USB.
    FireWire is more expensive, but more reliable data transfer protocol.
    There is no way to bridge the two device protocols . It's either one or the other. The masses always choose the cheaper USB devices.
    The masses don't care about faster and consistent data transfer rates or  better reliability.
    Especially if a user isn't some sort of creative like a graphics, designer, Illustrator, photographer, digital painer/3D-CGI Artist, engineer, audio or video/multimedia professional.

  • Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it?

    Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it? Just in case it makes a difference I am trying to hook up an Avid Mbox Pro for Pro tools.

    What is the part number and model of Firewire adapter?
    I have used them in the past without any problems whatsoever.

  • Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

  • Adapter card for firewire ports

    iMovie recognizes my camera but will not download. Genius Bar succeeded using an adapter card with firewire ports with assumption that port on computer was bad.
    I am searching Apple Store and cannot find this adapter card. What would it be called?
    thanks for help

    If you mean the online Apple Store, it doesn't currently carry any adapter cards of that type. They are available from many other online vendors. But why not buy one exactly like the one the Genius used, at the store where s/he used it?

  • OneStep asking for firewire connection-my Sony HDR-SR11 doesn't have firewire port. Help.

    The question says it all.  I wanted to use OneStep to move all my home movies to a DVD, but iDVD is asking me to connect via firewire and my video camera-a Sony HDR-SR11-doesn't have a firewire port.  I don't want to go through the extra step of importing into imovie because that will take a ton of time.  Any other suggestions?

    Only 2 options that come to mind. The first is to do a one step from a movie (as opposed to a one step from from the camera) within the file menu in iDvd. And yes, you will have to export first from the video editing app (iMovie / FCP) prior to using iDvd's One Step. No way to avoid this when using apple's iLife.
    The other option is to use a hardware approach; something like Sony's Dvdirect that requires no PC and burns directly to DvD-R at the touch of one button. Menus aren't as nice as iDvd's but the quality is very good. Try ebay if this option appeals to you. I picked up one for about the same price as iLife software.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.
