Gettings Cases USB and Firewire to work

G'day
I have a thermaltake Tsunami Dream which has 2 usb ports and one firewire port on the top of the case, does anyone know how to installs these onto the k8n neo2, i have tried but there is no place to put them, the usbs have 4pins each, and the firewire has 10 seperate pins
Thanks
Andrew

Look at the diagram on page 2-2 of manual (US) then look at the diagram on page 2-19 FRONT USB CONNECTORS. While your case may make you attachments with 4 pin connectors, align them up on top of each other to make the 7 pin connector. Just make sure that the VCC is pin 1 & 2. Same with Firewire. Just use the diagrams to match them up with what it says on your pins.

    Hi all, in answer to the above suggestions:
    No the 10g database and listener is completely down (no services belonging to the new 10g database are running). I checked also alle the logs, but no messages anymore since saturday.
    What I did notice: Oracle92HTTPserver (a service normally started automatically) does not start. When I start it, it gives me a message that there is nothing to do and that the service therefore is not started. So the HTTP-server itself is not working anymore. I can't find any files changed by th installation in the Ora92 home Apache directories. All seems as it was before the installation And still it won't start....
    Does anybody have other suggestions? Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jan.

  • USB and Firewire not working

    OK I know, I search on forums already and I can't find anything like what I'm experiencing right now.
    The only ports working are the ones in front of the Mac. Even the ones on both of my screens are not working.
    My question: is there a place to setup a default priority on those ports? I mean, it's surely a setting somewhere that i can't find. It's impossible that all the ports except those in front are down...
    Any clue?!?!

    I'm sorry you feel that way and truly there was no jeering intended. I'm actually trying to help. In your post your rider refers to Lamborgini. This is information you've provided. Remember?
    It's not safe to make any assumptions about what you may or may not have tried yourself to resolve the issue. As a consequence advising someone to restart is fairly standard. Amazingly it can and does 'cure' a lot of problems. Occasionally I see a similar issue with my laptop. A simple restart fixes it. If there is a persistent problem with the rear ports and it's consistent regardless of what you connect then perhaps it's time you ran the AHT? Or if this is not available to you take it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist who should be able to diagnose it further? One thing you could try to eliminate a possible OS problem is to boot from the Installer Disk. Connect to the same ports. Do they work now? If they do, back up and reinstall the OS.
    +"It's impossible that all the ports except those in front are down"+
    Not really. I also happen to be an Apple Certified Hardware Engineer and - rare that they are - I've seen problems like this before. Depending on the hardware the front panel board can be separate from the ports on the back.
    +"is there a place to setup a default priority on those ports?"+
    AFAIK No. Unless someone knows different? They either work or they don't.
    +"I mean, it's surely a setting somewhere that i can't find."+
    There are settings available for the Firewire Ports but only in terms of TCP/IP Networking. You'll find these in the Network Preferences Pane.

  • 20" Cinema display with USB and firewire ports not working

    I have a new 20" display and was wondering why my USB and fire wire ports at the back are not working. I have an external drive that is powered hooked up to the fire wire port and a no powered piano keyboard to a usb port.
    Any help please

    Verify that the display’s USB and FireWire cables are firmly plugged in to the
    computer. Do they show in your profiler?
    Try different ports in the computer.
    Verify that your computer ports are working with other known problem free device.

  • What is wrong with my 30" Cinema Display?  The USB and FireWire ports still work, but the screen is pitch black. When you plug it into the computer, it detects that it's a Cinema Display.

    When you plug it into the computer, it detects that it's a Cinema HD but the screen is pitch black.
    For some reason, the USB and FireWire ports still work.

    If you shine a really bright light directly into the screen can you then see a faint image on the screen? If so, that would indicate the backlight has died (hardware failure) and the unit needs repairing.

  • Recognising USB and Firewire works only on startup

    A short while ago I noticed that none of my USB or FireWire devices were recognised if I plugged in the cable while the computer was on. The devices are listed in System Profiler but not mounted/usable.
    If I plug devices in before powering up, everything works fine.
    There have been some recent posts about similar problems with USB and FireWire, however, I haven't seen one with the exact same symptoms.

    Reinstalling the 10.5.4 update fixed all of my problems. Apparently something had gone wrong the first time.

  • Expanding USB and Firewire

    Anyone have a good recommendation for expanding my USB and Firewire capability on my iMac 5gen (isight). I keep reading mixed reviews on belkin.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Oh dear, it is one thing after another for you, isn't it Jim!
    +DLX-182 Dual Link Hub front view+
    +4 FireWire ports on the front of the hub. Connect one to your computer and have 3 additional FireWire ports conveniently located on your desktop! Connecting FireWire cable included.+
    It looks, once again, as if you have done everything correctly. Are you saying that the red power light on the hub isn't lighted? If that's the case, check the power cord and if it has a power brick, see if that's lighted. It sounds as if the hub itself is faulty (just what you needed to hear). You did connect the hub to the computer using the far right-hand port? Check your firewire cable and see if it's working properly. Also, try switching the ports on the hub that you have your 2 externals connected to. In addition, make sure that if you plug each of the externals directly into the computer, they show up.

  • I have an old iMac and am thinking about getting an iMac intel do I need a different kind of usb and firewire cord?

    I have an old iMac and am thinking of getting an iMac intel. Do I need a different type of usb and firewire cords to work with the new one?

    What type of Firewire cable do you have?
    If our not sure then first look up your computer with the serial number here,
    http://support.apple.com/specs/
    Then take a look at the specs for the new iMac here and see if you have compatible cable,

  • Disconnecting all USB and firewire cables before upgrading OS X?

    Hello,
    I would like to confirm my understanding of some empirically effective advice provided in this previous Post about disconnecting USB and firewire cables before doing a Software Update and I presume also a Download update. What is gained by disconnecting the peripherals connected to the USB and firewire ports?
    I'm getting ready to update from OSX 10.2.8 to 10.3.9 (using full Retail CDs, of course).
    1. So it would NOT be a good idea to do the update in an external firewire drive? I had done this previously to leave my original OSX 10.1.5 in my internal drive alone while I tested the upgrade to 10.2.8 in a firewire drive. (I have since added a second internal drive.)
    2. That I should disconnect my two printers from their USB ports.
    3. If I'm doing a Download update vs. Software Update (from System Preferences), I guess I should also disconnect the cable to the modem?
    4. Run Repair Permissions before and after each software update step?
    Thanks in advance.
    Raymon

    Browsing through the Apple instructions on installing updates I do see in the section on Troubleshooting... to "Disconnect or remove anything that did not come with your computer" including removing any non-Apple RAM -- although this is recommended after an unsuccessful installation. Disconnecting the devices seems like an easy and prudent enough precaution.
    I do wonder now about again doing an update on a volume in an external firewire drive. This did work for me twice before in upgrading from OS X 10.1.5 to 10.2.8 (which is markedly better than the former). I suppose I could try it again although this time in a Panther upgrade; if it fails I could upgrade in an internal drive.

  • Testing speed of usb and firewire cables?

    I have a bunch of usb and firewire cables that I would like to test somehow to determine if they are usb 1 or 2 and firewire 1 or 2. Some cables are labeled as high speed usb, some are not and some have no labels at all.
    1. Is there a way to do this in Tiger?
    2. For transfering data to an external drive, is Firewire 400 or usb 2 faster?
    Thanks!

    Hello kat.hayes,
    Let's take your three questions in the same order:
    Question #1: Technically, No, USB cables have the same termination ends. However, not all cables are made to the same standards and quality (shielding has a lot to do with how well they work/last). Quality cables are at a minimum double shielded but that does not stop mfg's from making claims about "high-speed". If there is a problem with the cable, you will know it in that the device connected will not work. Period.
    The 2nd part of your question #1 regarding "bottleneck" is that if the USB2 port receives the slower USB protocol from a connected device, it will negotiate to the lower speed. Not a "bottleneck" exactly, as the external device you have connected will determine the speed. Not the USB cable.
    I don't know why you are trying to figure out the speed of the USB cables.
    It really comes down to what you want to do with your computer and what type of external device you need to connect. If you have a choice of which type of device to use, choose FW(See below #2 for a brief explaination).
    Question #2: The issues and technical debate about which protocol is better(faster) really are meaningless as the final speed determinate is controlled by the chip/interperter that the manufacturer of your external device choose to use. If the device uses inferior chipset design, then no amount of "maximum rated transfer speed" for either FW or the USB-2 is going to make a bit of difference.
    FW is usually faster. It comes down to the protocol used by the two designs. The one major diffence that benefits Firewire users is that it is isosynchronus. That means that if you have for example 3 devices, that all 3 would get 400mbps bandwidth to use, while USB2 is shared between devices. This is the ugly side of using USB2. If you a want an in depth technical explaination let me know.
    Regarding your question #3:
    Your Power Mac G5 has one FireWire 400 port on the front (rectangular shape with one pointed end), one FireWire 400 port on the back, a FireWire 800 port on the back(square,blocky shape), and four USB 2.0 ports—one on the front and three on the back. There are also two USB 1.1 ports on the keyboard. See this link:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/PowerMacG5Late2005_TechBrief.pdf
    If thats not clear, here is a card showing two FW800 ports (square) and one FW 400 port (rectangular w/pointed one end).
    http://www.1394store.com/eshop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=42&pf%5Fid=1225
    Technically, FW400 is refered to as 1394a and FW800 as 1394b.
    So, plug any USB2 into the computer only. USB1 devices can be plugged into either the computer or the keyboard.
    And FW400 & FW 800 into the correct, differently shaped recepticals.
    If you let us know what you intend to do with your external devices and I'm sure there will be a number of excellent suggestions, hopefully based on personal experience, on which protocol would best fit your situation.
    Hope this helps.
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher

  • Connecting via USB and FireWire at the same time...

    Hey all,
    I have a 3rd Generation iPod (with the play/pause, menu, next track and previous track buttons between the screen and the touch wheel), and I just bought a new Nano.
    Obviously, I want to keep them both synced with my MBP, but there's a problem. The 3G will sync via the Dock-to-USB cable, but it will only charge and sync with Dock-to-FireWire. The Nano, on the other hand, doesn't support FireWire.
    So, in order to sync/charge them both, I have to use a different cable for each.
    Or, do I? Apple sells a Dock-to-USB-AND-FireWire cable (one Dock Connector with two wires coming out). I'd love to plug both the USB and FireWire connectors to the MBP and then just plug the Dock connector into one iPod and then into the other. But, in the documentation for the cable, it says not to connect both the FireWire and USB ends to the computer at the same time, or it might result in "unexpected behavior."
    Does anybody out there have any experience using this cable with both ends connected at the same time? Does it work? Have you noticed any "unexpected behavior?"
    I wanted to check before I go defying Apple's instructions.
    Thanks,

  • USB and Firewire Card for Mac Pro 3.0

    I am running out of USB and Firewire Ports. Any suggestions on expansion cards for Firewire and USB??
    Thanks
    John

    The Sonnet PCI USB Express cards have this problem too - for the record. Sonnet know about the MacPro not waking with it installed, as do Apple. I am sure Apple willl come up with something, I may even find a workaround, but it has always seemed that expansion cards with all my Macs [ waaaay too many] have produced unpredicatable problems.

  • (MacOSX Lion 10.7.4) The problem of connecting the audio interface (USB and FireWire), grained acoustic distortion!?

    I understand it comes from a usb and firewire!?
    Help Me_____
    Sorry for my english

    Well, it's been a few days and with no response I thought I'd look for another solution. I've been trying this software called iVPN, apparently it's like a front-end to OS X's built-in VPN server. Anyway, I disabled the VPN Server from the Server app, turned on iVPN and was VPN-ing from my iPhone over 3G in notime. It's a great app, though it kinda ***** that the server can't do what it's built to do. Since VPN was the big reason I got Server in the first place, I'll probably uninstall it and stick with OS X's built-in file sharing and iVPN.

  • Is it safe to plug and unplug USB and Firewire cables with the computer on?

    Is it safe to plug and unplug USB and Firewire cables with the computers on? I have a Mac G4 and a newly purchased IMac and I use one printer for both computers. Should I shut down the computers when I unplug the printer and connect to the other computer? How about when switching firewire drives.
    Is there an easy way to have both computers connected to the same printer? I have an Epson 1280 printer.

    Yes, you can unplug a printer without shutting down the computer, but if you are switching the printer to another computer then you should first turn off the printer, unplug it, re-connect to the other computer, then turn on the printer. This will assure that the printer will be properly recognized.
    If you have your computers networked via Ethernet then you can leave the printer connected to one computer and share it with the other via the network connection. Printer sharing is turned on using the Sharing preference in System Preferences. You will need to Add the printer on both computers so you will need the appropriate printer driver installed on both computers.
