How to connect an external harddrive with firewire 800 to a macbook with firewire 400?

Hello,
I just got the external harddrive "Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB 3.0 1TB" with a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Kabel FireWire 800. I have neither a USB 3.0, nor a Firewire 800 on my white macbook (2008). I already know, that it's possible to use USB 3.0 with an USB 2.0 port, but I would like to use it with the firewire to spare the USB port for other devices. My question: Is there an adapter or cable to use the Seagate Firewire 800 with my Firewire 400 port? I don't know, where and what to look for.
I'm glad for any advice.

There are many adaptors, try here

  • How to use an external start button for 6024E w/ sc-2345, I would like it to function like a start button in LabView but I don't know how to connect the external button to the sc-2345's connector block

    I am confused as to how to connect my external start botton. I would like it to function like a start button on a front panel of a VI. I would like to use the +5V on pin 14 but I really don't know where to go from here. Any guidence for a novice would be most appreciated.

    phod,
    This is the LabVIEW Real-Time forum, so I suggest that in the future that you post this type of question to the Multifunction DAQ forum.
    For the simplest solution you will have to connect your button to a digital line of your board, consult the sc-2345 user manual for a diagram of where these lines are exposed. You will have to connect your start button in series with a line that is high, such as your 5V pin or another digital line. Then connect this to a digital line that will be your start trigger.
    Your program can poll the digital line that is connected to your button in a while loop and when it goes high, it lets the rest of the program execute. For the programming, I suggest you take a look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW. If yo
    u have LabVIEW 7.0 go to Help>>Find Examples. Open Hardware Input Output>>Traditional DAQ>>Digital Input and Output>>E Series for some examples of digital I/O programming with E-series boards.
    Hope that gets you started.

  • How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
    What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

  • HT201338 Can I connect a firewire 400 to firewire 800 adapter and then a firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter(standard Thunderbolt to firewire adapter) together to digitize video from a miniDV video camcorder?

    I have a 10 year Canon MiniDV camcorder that I used to connect via firewire to digitize the data.  Now my IMac only has a Thunderbolt connector and my camcorder uses the older firewire 400 standard.  I would like to digitize the video into my IMac.  How can I do this?

    I did a little looking around and found a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter, and then a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter, but no Thunderbolt to Firewire 400. Amazon and Apple stores had the Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 cable and Amazon had the Firewire 400 to 800 adapater.
    Wherever you get the cables, ask them if it will work OK with what you want to try and do - if they don't know make sure you can return if there is a problem. I think it will because the Thunderbolt side is so much faster than what the camera can pump out to it. If it were the other way (Thunderbolt device to a Firewire computer I would expect that to fail since the Firewire could never keep up with the data rate of the incoming Thunderbolt device).
    Maybe if you have a local Mac user group or a friend with an older mac with a firewire 400 port you could do it this way too?
    Good luck

  • How to connect an external HD to a 2007 Mac Mini with FireWire

    I have a 2007 Mac Mini with a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 1 GB of RAM, and an 80 GB HD. I recently migrated to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.5) from Tiger (OS X 10.4.11). I purchased a 500 GB external HD from Seagate which I want to use to back up both my wife's notebook PC and my Apple. My Mac Mini has a Firewire 400 (6-pin) female connector on the back. The external HD can connect to a Mac via a Firewire 800 male 9-pin connector. How do I connect the male FW 800 9-pin to the female FW 400 6-pin port? This may sound obvious, but the solution is more challenging than I imagined. The 9- to 6-pin adaptors I've seen online combine a female 6-pin end with a male 9-pin end. I need the reverse of that (female 9-pin FW 800 to male 6-pin FW 400 adaptor)! I bought a 9- to 6-pin cable this week, but ended up with two male 9-pin plug ends, and no way to connect them. Is a solution available using FW, or should I bail and go with a USB 2.0 connection instead?

    Most external firewire drives have removable cables that plug into "female" ports on the hard drive. Is the firewire cabling on your external drive different from this? (What is the model number of the external drive?)
    If the cable is removeable, simply buy a 6-pin-to-9-pin firewire cable (male on both ends).
    monoprice.com is a good place to find these cheaply and in the length you need.

    I had the exact same problem, here is what helped me, hopefully it will help you also...
    I have been using my airport disk (edge_diskgo external HD) now for about 3 weeks, it has been rock solid... until tonight after the firmware update.
    My macs could not locate the airport disk, but my pc's still could.
    (Maybe this was how the security problem was solved? You can no longer access the Airport disk from macs? Brilliant!)
    It turns out that all I had to do on my both my macs is go to
    Airport disk utility (just type that in spotlight) and check
    both boxes: Automatically discover Airport Disks
    Show Airport disks in menu bar
    Then I went to the top right hand side of the menu bar, and clicked on the airport disk utility icon, clicked on my basestation name and entered my basestation password.
    I also had following settings in Airport Utility/Disks/File sharing:
    File sharing is enabled
    secure shared disks (with base station password)
    Guest access (not allowed)
    Share disks over ethernet wan port (checked)..
    Advertise disks globally using bonjour (not checked)
    My drives are back up with all of their contents, working now, we will see how they do tomorrow.
    Thanks for all the help on this post, special Thanks to trevinwagner, hope this helps someone else.... its very late, Goodnight all

  • Connection to external display does not work under windows bootcamp, with a thunderbolt to vga adapter.

    Hello guys, after searching a lot in the forum for an answer to this, I could not find a solution so this is the reason for this post.
    I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011 I think) running MacOSX Lion and I have installed Windows 7 64-bit through bootcamp (version 4.0).
    Everything works fine except that I cannot connect my external display through my thunderbolt-vga adapter.
    The external monitor shows only the boot screen of windows (the one with the windows logo) and then, when I get into the login page it goes blank.
    After reading the forum, I have done several things in order to fix this problem such as:
    Restarting the macbook with the thunderbolt device connected to it.
    Updated to the latest ATI drivers through bootcamp.
    Removed the graphics driver and re-install it again.
    I have tried to identify the external monitor through windows 'screen resolution' tool (attached photo).
    but still no luck.
    Does anyone have any idea on what else I could do in order to fix this? By the way, I find it very frustrating that Apple does not have a stable solution to the problem with devices that are connected to the thunderbolt port.
    Thank you in advance

  • ESATA/USB-Combo-Port on T520 connect to external Harddrive case

    Hello.
    I have a eSATA/USB-Combo-Port on a T520. I think there are cables to connect a 2,5" Harddisk direct to the Port with only one cable for eSATA and Power.
    I am looking for an external case for a 2,5" Harddisk that have a USB-Port (to connect to other Computers) AND a Port for my eSATA/USB-Combo-Port.
    Does anyone know where to buy a suitable Case?
    I Want to connect the Disk to my T520 using the eSATA speed (with one cable) with the option to connect it to other computers who only have USB 2.0.
    Thank you very much.
    Jens

    Hi Jens,
    I haven't thought to look for one of those before.  Is this the kind of thing you're after?

    I think eSATAp is the key here, if I understand your question.
    [edit] the 1st link is an eSATAp only cable, so it doesn't help with your "other computer" connections.

  • How to partition an external harddrive

    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premiun (upgraded from Windows 7 Starter) on an Acer Aspire One Netbook and want to partitiion a 1TB external harddrive.  I am the Administrator but the 'expand' option is greyed out in the disk management tool and
    I am unable to partition the drive.  Is there something I need to do besides format the drive?  I'm used to Windows XP and never had difficulty partitioning a drive before.
    I'm not a computer tech so reading Microsoft technical stuff doesn't help.  Can I get some layman's language to help me partitiion this drive?
    Thanks in advance.  L. Cooper

    I assume the 1TB drive is empty as in no data and stuff? And you're trying to create a partition? Do the following>>
    Go to Control Panel>System and Security>Administrative Tools and then double-clicking Computer Management. 
    In the Navigation pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
    Right-click an unallocated region on your hard disk, and then click New Simple Volume.
    In the New Simple Volume Wizard, click Next.
    Type the size of the volume you want to create in megabytes or accept the maximum default size, and then click Next.
    Accept the default drive letter or choose a different drive letter to identify the partition, and then click Next.
    In the Format Partition dialog box, do one of the following:
    If you don't want to format the volume right now, click Do not format this volume, and then click Next.
    To format the volume with the default settings, click Next.
    Review your choices, and then click Finish.

  • Does anyone know how to connect an external zoom to a canon FS20 camcorder.

    Is it possible to connect an external zoom remote to a canon FS20 camcorder?  With no LANC port i would assume those controllers are out... anyone know of a different controller/ remote that might work?  I want to use the camera on a taller boom to tape soccer games but i am concerned that there is no way to zoom in.

    Hi cardsdude2015! Without a remote port or even a wireless remove sensor (like the FS22 has), it is not possible to use a remote with the FS20.

  • How to connect to external web service and convert XML to a table

    Hi experts,
      I need to connect to external/non-SAP web service and convert XML in that site to a SAP table?
    Is there a function call(SE37) to do this? Is it a must for me to install AS JAVA or PI and configure enterprise service? Please provide a link for me to retrieve relevant infomation, thx.

    No, you don't need PI or the Java stack for this.  You can create an ABAP proxy using the WSDL file for the web service and call the web service using the proxy class in an ABAP program.  You can transform the XML response to internal tables/structures/variables using a transformation template that you create.
