Help! two firewire 400 to one 800. both really need the 400-speed.

I've got the iMac with firewire800 and need to use both my m-audio interface and my liquid mix.
they are both fw400-devices
the liquid can be connected through the m-audio, but that is not enough for all data. the liquid and the m-audio really needs separate 400-connectors.
will a *good firewire-hub* do the job?
what can I do if not? buy mac pro? (quite expensive)
iMac 24
Focusrite Liquid mix
M-audio Profire 2626

My devices are all just drives. I have not seen any slow down due to using a hub (compared to separate ports), but I have not intentionally set up conditions where I am writing files to more than one drive at the same time either.
If the two devices interact with each other (data goes directly from one drive to the other), then I think the hub would be better because each device is connected equally to the Mac (more like using a Mac with two ports). If only one device is being accessed at any given time, then it probably does not matter too much if they are on the hub or daisy-chained.
In my case, if I was reading data from one drive and writing it to the other drive, I think it would be better to have the two drives connected to the hub (versus one drive being daisy-chained to the other). But if I was reading data from the internal drive and writing it to one (not both) of the external drives, then it would not matter too much how they are connected.
Hopefully, someone else with experience using devices like yours will pop by to provide some info.

  • I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • HT1689 i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks

    It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

  • Help! I just put a US sim card (i am from Canada) and got a monthly pre paid plan, and when I went to restore the iphone, it didn't work. I can't find backup that i did right before the sim was changed. I really need the info that was there! Please help..

    Hold on,
    Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
    What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
    Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
    Backup in iTunes
    Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
    Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
    Wait for unlock notification.
    Restore the backup.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.
    If this does not work, set it up again as new device, without using the latest backup afterwards.

    I wonder if the disk being referred to is actually your iPod which is not plugged in. Maybe something has stuck thinking the iPod should be there.
    Try completely removing all the iTunes related programs according to this method.

    Restart you PC and see if startup improves.
    If it doesn't improve you need to consider the possibility that there is something else going on.
    If The problem goes away, hopefully a fresh install will be OK.

  • I see two iphoto applications. One is iphoto (copy) and the other iphoto (original). How did this happen?

    In the applications folder I see two iphoto apps. One labeled iphoto (copy) 376 MB/ version 8.l.2 and the other iphoto (original) 346 MB/ version 8.1.1 . Have no idea what I did. Can I delete one of them?
    I have iphoto library manager installed and used it for the first time just recently. I merged my photos into one library.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Lucy

    Keep the latest verson.  But, as Larry cautioned, open it before deleting the other one to make sure it performs as expected.

  • HT201371 More Apple id's with the same Touch ID possible? I have two Apple ID's, one for buying apps since the first iPhone and later, one for iCloud. Now with my new iPhone 5s, after installation Touch ID is connected to the iCloud one.

    I have 2 Apple ID"s, one for buying app's (since the first iPhone) in the store and another one for operating with iCloud things. Now, after installation/activation of my new iPhone 5s, the Touch ID is connected to the iCloud world. Conclusion, if I like to buy a new app. I still have to fill in the password for the other Apple ID. In the past I asked Apple to may join both, but that seems to be impossible.
    Anyone a solution?

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • Can you facetime on two iGadgets (pad 2 & touch 4 - both iOS6) with the same apple ID?

    Can you facetime on two iGadgets (pad & touch - both iOS6) with the same apple ID?

    Yes, they can both have the same Apple Id, but you must use a separate device Id.  For the pad and pod that would usually be a different individual e-mail address for each.  If you attempt to use the same e-mail for both, Facetime will not work.  (Its like picking up the phone and dialing your own number)

  • Does Airport Express really communicate the same speed to both Mac and non-Mac devices?

    Okay, so to fully understand my situation, here's a briefing: Our old Netgear router was not pushing nearly the speeds we were paying for (we pay for 30 and were getting 10-15 max, usually much less). I recently got an iMac which means that all of my devices are now Apple made, so I decided to get an Airport Express to hopefully improve our wireless speeds. I set it up with the modem going in the WAN port and the old router attached to the LAN port so that it could still act as an ethernet hub for the few hard-wired devices knocking around. I set up both a network and a guest network, with our original one still active through the Netgear router.
    I get 45 Mbps from the new network on my iMac, but my roommate is only getting around 9. If he connects to the old one, he caps out at about 25. Is the wireless card in his PC just not capable of receiving more than that? He insists that since it's an Apple router it is not as compatable with non-Apple products. Interestingly, I get faster speeds on my iPhone from the guest network than I can from either the new or old main networks in our house.
    I know this is a really long question, but has anyone had this same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also: isn't the wireless speed of the old Netgear router still basically being pushed through the Airport Express, as it's the only thing connected directly to the modem? Are there any settings I can change to make everything run smoothly? If the PC, Android phones, etc can connect to the new network at the same speed as my Apple products, then we can eliminate the old network altogether if that will help.

    I think I answered my own question. I found this on the web:
    http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
    Seems to suggest that using this third party exe to format it instead of windows inbuilt one will allow for partitions greater than 32GB. So this looks the way to go. And the 2GB limit per file is just for FAT16 not FAT32 apparently, but even if it is I only have a few iso/video files bigger than 2 gig so will just use a splitter on them.
    Hope this is useful to someone else

  • Two apple ID on one iphone. I need to purchase extra storage for one but it doesn't give me a place to do it.

    im really frustrated.  everything not just this happening to me right now.  I'll try to be as clear as I can be here.  I can't get email or send email with one of two apple I.D.'s connected to my iphone.  The other I.D. I paid for extra storage.  The I.D. that needs more storage is my main email address and my lifeline.  Job offers come to that address, my banking and home security alerts, etc all happen through this one email account.  I can't even get that ID to show on my phone to choose it.
    How can I change things to show me both ID's so I can add storage to the correct one?
