Guide for ip over Firewire?

Hello,
TargetMode is not at all times feasible (and Ethernet as well when one port is plugged with a cable already).
So how to set up a firewire network between two macs (MBP/iBookG3)? I could not find a guide for this and the help of OSX is short of answers.
Where can I find a step by step guide for this? I would like to be able to share my internet-connection with the networked mac (via Firewire) as well.
Anyone?
Greetings,

  • Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

    Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
    Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
    Any thoughts...

    Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? Sounds like it could be a RAM problem.

  • Looking for easy to follow guide for building a software updates process.

    I am hoping that I can get some general guidance here. I have responsibility for sccm 2012 in our environment. I also have to do exchange 2010, all Cisco networking and a few other large platforms. Needless to say it gets to difficult to get on a task and
    stay focused for long periods of time. I tend to just sort of keep things running and that's all I usually have time for. 
    We have sccm 2012 and it's mostly used for OSD right now. I have been tasked with developing and implementing a process for critical updates across the organization. We have one primary site and three secondaries with about 2500 machines. There is no history
    of doing updates here other than a previous person who used to do them via WSUS and GPO. But that has not happened for well over a year now.  My problem is that I have no familiarity with doing updates via WSUS or sccm. So it's all pretty new to me. I
    got Kent Agerlunds book and like his detailed approach and was hoping to just sort of adopt that process and tailor it to this environment. 
    I do have WSUS installed in our primary location and the SUP point on our primary and secondary servers. Things seem to be syncing fine. Now I need to try to put together a process that is easy to manage and works.   The biggest problem I find is that
    given I have primary ownership for a wide range of technologies in a company that is not a small mom and pop organization, it is difficult to sit down and get the necessary time to hammer this out. Everytime I sit down to work on this I feel I have to try
    to learn it all over again. For some reason, probably my lack of experience with even WSUS or patching in general, they way this is supposed to work is just not sinking in effectively. 
    Can someone recommend a decent guide that is easy to understand and easy to follow? I find so much material out there on this topic that it gets a bit overwhelming and I spend what time I do have available jumping from document to document and not really
    getting a decent foundation of how this is supposed to work. 
    Also, if anyone cares to chime in how they would maybe approach this task if assigned to them. Imagine and environment that has no software updates in place and basically never did. Machines are very, very outdated. I have disabled automatic updates via
    a GPO ( this was recommended in the Agerlund book). 
    Also, since this is basically a ground zero environment should I have two focuses? One, just getting everything up to date, and then a second process for keeping things up to date?
    I realize this is a really broad info dump that I'm asking for, but I find just googling and trying to figure this out ends up with a scattered bunch of links that I don't really feel help me just get started on the right track.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You just need to deploy software updates to specific collections periodically, such as Automatic deployment rules, keep things up to date. Then monitor the status to make sure deployments are successful.
    The following KBs describe how to plan software updates.

  • Ipod G3 no longer syncs over FireWire

    My older Ipod G3 (the one with four buttons above scroll wheel) no longer syncs to iTunes over FireWire. In fact the iPod will not show up at all over FireWire any longer?
    It syncs over USB tough. But being G3 it cannot charge over USB and my battery is almost dead so I really need FireWire to work.
    * It will charge over FireWire
    * I have to differnet FW cables both showing same problem (and they have worked before)
    * It sync over USB
    * I have reset iPod
    * It has worked before... (it's been sitting in the dock connected to my stereo in the living room)
    I'm now thinking that either 10.5.3 or 10.5.2 update may have changed something in OS X to get this behaviour?
    That is the only thing that has changed since I last tried to update this ipod (that I can think of)
    /Roger

    I know someone with a Power Mac G5 and a third gen iPod, and it works as expected under Leopard 10.5.3. We were messing around with it last week (iPod was sitting idle for a while and we got it working). So if it's a problem caused by OS upgrades, it is not a universal problem. If you have an alternate boot drive (or partition), you can see if a fresh install of Leopard (plus updates) makes a difference.
    If it syncs over USB and charges over FireWire, you can continues to use it, although you will not be able to charge and sync at the same time with the standard cables. I don't think you will be able Restore from iTunes either, without the FireWire connection.
    If you find that this problem is a hardware problem on the iPod's logic board, this special cable with two ends (FireWire and USB) may allow you to charge and sync at the same time.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9688G/A
    It's meant for Windows PC users without FireWire (only USB) who want to use the 3G iPod, so they can charge (through FireWire connected to wall adapter) and sync (through USB) at the same time, and use Restore in iTunes.

  • I9900 no longer working over Firewire

    I just updated to Leopard this afternoon, and went to print something, only to find out that my Canon i9900 is not showing up as an available printer. It shows up and works just fine if I hook it up with USB, but it no longer is detected over Firewire. I prefer Firewire only because of my current shortage of open USB ports.
    Now, Apple lists the i9900 as being supported and shipping with drivers in Leopard, but could it be that only USB is available now? When I manually installed the drivers under Tiger, it set up a "network" in the printer utility called "Canon IJ Network". This is still showing up in Leopard, but there is no printer listed.
    The printer is turned on, has paper loaded and all ink tanks are full. Permissions are freshly repaired and everything else appears to be in working order. No other programs have been installed since the Leopard upgrade. Any help would be appreciated!

    I figured it out myself. To get it to work with Firewire, you need to go to Canon's website and download the latest drivers for Mac OS 10.4. They are older than the current ones in Leopard, but include the necessary Firewire drivers.
    After they install, it will be available via Firewire! Hope this helps somebody else out.

  • Cracking and popping over FireWire

    Audio or videos files played back with QuickTime over my FireWire connection are accompanied by quite a bit of cracking and popping. The crackling is not heard during quiet portions of the file. The format of the file doesn’t seem to matter (.mov, .wav, etc.). I can play back the same files over FireWire with other playback software, like VLC, and the problem disappears.
    Interestingly, this problem with QT also disappears when listening with headphones plugged into the jack on my mac. In other words, the problem only occurs when I use QT and pipe the output through FireWire.
    My FireWire goes into a mixer, an Onyx-1220i and from there gets piped into my studio speakers using the "Control Room Out" jacks.
    Listen closely to the link for a sample recorded directly from my studio speakers using my iPhone: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15366433/Recording.m4a

  • IP over Firewire stopped working

    with the 10.5.2 update IP over Firewire stopped working. I tried this with 3 machines on my G4 server (still running Tiger) and 2 different Firewire cables. target disk mode still works, so it can't be the cable. I'd appreciate any input & ideas.

    I figured this out. Shut down for 20 minutes or so. Turned the Macbook on and firewire IP workd.

  • Ip over firewire

    has anyone used ip over firewire? i'm thinking about getting a firewire hub because all my systems have firewire ports and i have some extra firewire cables laying around somewhere. i'd like to use it to speed up distcc. my systems use 10/100 cards right now. i'd still keep using the ethernet cards for most things and use the firewire connection just for distcc. or i could switch it around and use the firewire connection for everything and use the ethernet cards for just distcc, but i don't think that would really help since my systems don't actually run anything other than distcc and ssh right now.

    I once tried it and it worked. What do you want to know about it?

  • IP over FireWire keeps going down

    I use IP over FireWire with static IP addresses to sync two Macs every day. Every since upgrading to Leopard, that Mac that runs the sync keeps losing its IP over FireWire connection - it looks OK in the Network prefs pane, but won't mount the other machine's drive over AFP until I reboot.
    Any idea what might be going on?

    I use something completely different than 192.x.x.x. I use 10.10.0.x. I don't really see how this could have anything to do with anything if it works perfectly and then stops working. I could understand if it doesn't work at all, so maybe you can explain the logic behind this then I could configure things differently in an attempt to affect a fix.
    As for the adapters (and drivers) in question, there are ~7 devices accessing the guest network. They are all using a variety of chipsets, 1 is ralink, 1 is broadcom, 1 is atheros, 1 is realtek, 1 is an iPad, whatever that uses and then there's a roku box and 1 android phone.
    As I mentioned, they work perfectly when they work - when the guest network goes down nothing can connect to it so I don't think it can be the driver. If it were to be a driver issue then it wouldn't work properly from the getgo, or 1 or 2 devices with bad drivers would fault, but in this case it's all of them.
    Oddly enough, my wireless stuff and lan is never affected. just the guest network but I have to reboot every time the issue crops up to fix it.
    Any help would be appreciated as I'd really rather not have to go spend money on something else.
    Is there anyone currently replying to this that uses their GN long term? If not could you please try? By long term I mean constantly use it and let me know if it goes down eventually. I'd really like to figure this out.

  • 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

  • Pro Res Plays Over Firewire?

    I dropped a Sony EX-1 1080i clip onto a timeline, setup in FCP Easy Setup for DV-NTSC Firewire Basic. I changed the rendering to Pro res and rendered the timeline as usual. Looks great and plays fine over firewire to my Sony DVCAM deck.
    It seems counter-intuitive that a Pro res rendered project would play over firewire. Could someone in-the-know explain how this works.
    Thanks!

    I think you may be referring to the Render Control setting in user preferences. If you look at that setting, changing it to ProRes only works if the sequence is HDV, XDCamHD, or EX. You are working in a DV sequence so that setting is ignored.
    Just because you have EX footage, doesn't mean it'll render in ProRes no matter what sequence you're working in. For it to render ProRes, you have to first be working in an EX sequence then apply some kind of effect or motion that requires rendering, and then when you render it'll render in ProRes.
    The reason for this I believe (because I don't really work in those formats) has to do with the fact that HDV, XDCamHD, and EX are long GOP formats. Therefore any rendering probably takes longer in the native format than in ProRes. They probably include that setting to speed up the workflow for those using intraframe codecs.
    If you place an HD clip in a DV sequence and render you end up with a DV clip. You've been seeing no difference from before because nothing has changed for you.
    As for taking advantage of HD well, mastering to DV will at minimum, lose you half of your color information or as much as 75 percent. That can't be helped since DV is 4:1:1 color sub-sampling, and HD is 4:2:0 (HDV) and up. However, if you master to DVD, you can keep 4:2:0 which is still better than DV. Obviously the screen resolution can't be helped until you are mastering to HD.

  • HT1341 Printing over firewire causes mac osx crash

    I have had my Epson R2400 connected over Firewire to my MBP (10.8.3) for many months with no problem. Now whenever I print a document the MBP crashes and reboots without a message. I have tried a repair disk permissions, clearing teh caches, resetting the printer, reinstalling the driver and plugging the FW cable direct to the MBP (was via the Thunderbolt display) and neither had any effect. The printer does work over USB but that uses a USB port I can't spare.
    Any suggestions on what might be the problem?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Are you using a FW 800> 400 adapter? Your printer is older and most likely only has FW 400 capability.

  • Ethernet over Firewire - possible?

    Say you have a gigabit ethernet port on a gigabit network... is there some piece of hardware, router, anything which would let you get to the network via a firewire port?
    I ask because I am working on a Powerbook with a broken ethernet port which needs access to a gigibit network. Since FW800 is comparable in speed and is capable of IP sharing, is there any way to use it to connect to a network?
    Thanks!
    Rey

    Hi Rey, I have networked an iBook and a PC via Firewire so in my humble opinion I think it'd be possible,have a look here.
    http://developer.apple.com/devicedrivers/firewire/ipoverfirewire.html
    "Customers can immediately enable IP over FireWire and then connect two or more Macintosh systems by FireWire for file sharing, Internet sharing, or the use of any other IP-based service".http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1845.html I'll have a bit more of a look around and get back to you.

  • Migration over firewire not transferring anything

    I am trying to migrate everything from my old macbook pro to my new one over to my new one over firewire. I have tried twice and it starts at 1hr 30min and goes to 50min to 2hrs 30min and then finishes with in 30min total. Once it finished nothing had finished, it transferred the application names, but not the applications, no documents, no pictures, no downloads, nothing except app names transfered. Could somebody please help?

    Step 1, restore the new machine.
    1: Hold Command and R keys down, boot the new computer.
    2: Disk Utility, select the Maintosh HD partition, click Erase and move the slider one step to the right, the middle choice selection and click erase. Wait.
    3: Quit when finished and select the Lion installer, install OS X with your AppleID and password on a reliable fast Internet connection.
    4: When completed reboot and setup like a new machine, use a different name than on the other Mac.
    5: Install your free iLife here
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
    If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start from Lion.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Step 2, use Migration Assistant.... or....
    1: Connect the machines using Firewire
    2: Hold T boot the old Mac so it's drive appears on the desktop of the new Mac.
    3: You can use Migration Assistant in your Utilities folder, however you might have the same problems again.
    or
    Step 3, Manual install
    1: Go to System Preferences > Accounts
    2: Create a new user with the same name as the old one on the old Mac (or series of users if more than one)
    3: Log out of the first account created on the new Mac and into each new user, transfering files manually from the T booted old Mac's drive.
    4: Note, transfer files into their same named folders, Pictures into Pictures, Movies into Movies, etc.
    Leave the User/Library folder on the old Mac, it's changed and won't work on the new Mac.
    5: Install compatible programs from fresh sources again on the new Mac, don't transfer from the old Mac.

  • Leopard loses IP-over-FireWire connection?

    I have my MacBook Pro configured with an IP-over-FireWire connection that I use to sync data between it and another MacBook Pro at work. For some reason it loses the ability to use this connection almost daily (though it still shows up as active in System Preferences). Rebooting resolves the problem, but often it reoccurs within a few hours. Any idea what's going on? This didn't happen in Tiger.

    I once tried it and it worked. What do you want to know about it?
