I need to access a firewire device on pc from a network

FW ports died on my imac i need to figure out how to either bridge 1394 port to ethernet through software or enable my laptop "win7/linuxmint8" to share everything that gets plugged into it and not just mounted disk drives.
the device (003rack audio interface) doesnt need to be aviable on the host (pc) computer the client(imac intel) is the one that runs the software which is apple specific.
also how could i use my extra wireless router (dilink) as a computer to computer ethernet hub diabling the wireless so i dont have to get a crossover cat5 cable i dont know much about networking but i would think by now we would have PnP support for mac to pc ethernet
iv only been able to to share my HDD's and thats on the wireless network
Macstore wants $1000 to fix firewire ports and cd drive if i cant get this to work i guess its time to build a hackintosh

Have you Reset the Pram to see if the Firewire ports would work again?

"Enable Access for Assistive Devices" is missing from Yosemite and my QuicKeys program depends on this to work. Help!

This is my second day trying to get my QuicKeys application to work in Yosemite, but "Enable Access for Assistive Devices," which QuicKeys needs to work, is missing from Yosemite. I have gone through the entire System Preferences panel (Security and Privacy, Accessibility, Keyboard, etc.) without success - it's just not there. I have checked this app in the Privacy pane and dragged
"QuicKeysUserEventHelper" out of the QuicKeys Resources folder into the Applications folder so it could "appear" in the Privacy pane, and then checked it there. Is there any way to enable access for assistive devices - a Terminal command, perhaps?
QuicKeys is my most used program, which I have had since its inception at least 10 years ago! Help!

Thank you for your reply! I did everything that Startly recommended (actually, gb2), and when I dragged the QuicKeys Helper into the Privacy box. I didn't see it, but after I quit and restarted QuicKeys, it worked! However,I had first dragged the QuicKeys app to the trash, emptied it, then restarted. Next, I redownloaded QuicKeys from Startly and THEN I went to gb2's directions. All together, my QuicKeys now works on my MacBook Air. BUT NOW, I keep getting the warning that says that this version and activation code are already in use by another user! I am also getting those warnings on my Mac Pro - which had the same problem yesterday (QuicKeys not working), until I heard back from a Technical Advisor from Startly, who told me about trashing the app and redownloading from their site. Last night, that version of QuicKeys worked WITHOUT my having to drag the QuicKeys Helper app into the Privacy pane. Perhaps it is there, but invisible - the helper app is not visible on either of my computers' Privacy panes.
OK, NOW WHAT DO I DO? Every 20 seconds or so, I'm getting those annoying warning signs (on BOTH computers) and requests to put in my activation key, and then told that it is being used by another user!!!
AM I EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE MY 2 LICENSES FOR MY 2 QUICKEYS PROGRAMS???

HT3503 i have a macbook air and I need to connect my firewire device to it. Where can I find the correct adapter?

I am trying to connect my presonus firebox that uses firewire to my new macbook air, but I need an adapter. If anybody knows of one please help.

@Christoph: Um, no there aren't. The only thing I know of is the Belkin TB hub, which is $300 & way more complicated (& bigger) than just an adaptor.

If anyone knows of something with TB in and simply one or two FW ports out, that would be extremely useful for this audio guy.

HT201250 What is Airport Utility and why do I need to access this in order to backup my iMac using Time Machine...PLEASE??

What is Airport Utility and why do I need to access Airport witeless devices in order to backup my iMac using Time Machine...HELP!!! PLEASE??

AirPort Utility is required to configure an Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
Time Machine can use a Time Capsule or a locally connected volume. You only need to use AirPort Utility if you are using a Time Capsule.

I need to access my work server, email ect windows based whats best using my imac

i need help accessing my email and company server from my imac the company uses a windows based exchange server thanks

Are you trying to set your email up on the iMac using mail? If so, you will some information from you IT department. Or you can try to setup and exchange server in mail and type your email account and password. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3748 if it's a POP account you will need to get the setup info from IT. You can use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to your server.

Do I need internet access on my iOS devices to enroll with Profile Manager?

Hi, I'm trying to configure Profile Manager on a closed network. The Mac Server does have Internet access, but the network for the iOS devices can only have communication with the server, but not to the internet because of company policies. Is there a way around to make it work or do I need internet access on the iOS devices as well?
I've made the enrollment process in another network with internet access for every device and everything works well, but on the other network(no internet for iOS devices) everything seems ok (from conection to the server, profile certifiacation and stuf) but the devices can't send or receive anything else, like pushed configurations and device info. Ports and everything is ok, I even read that they need to be on an open network so I know it all comes down to having internet access, but just wanted to ask if there's another way around?? Suggestions?
Thanks!

You can share internet connection with your XP-PC using a router(as I do with XP-old MAC's,connected via cable).You may look for more info at:

Using Firewire devices results in desktop stuttering

Firewire traffic is causing desktop performance to decline. On my Mac Mini (late 2009, 4 GB RAM) even slow amounts of firewire traffic is causing bad spaces performance (stuttering while moving from space to space) and jerky window movement. I have tested this with several cables and 2 different firewire devices. Device 1, a Canon HDV camcorder, is bringing the window movement to stutter when imovie is detecting the connection and showing the import screen (no transfer initiated, not even playback). Device 2, a Western Digital My Book Studio with FW800 ports, is making the desktop jerky even if it is only playing a mp3 file.
Notes:
Spotlight was disabled on the mentioned fw800 hdd. Disk activity monitor shows normal operation, very low cpu workload. The system log also does not show any suspicious messages.
USB devices like harddisks do not trigger this behaviour. The mentioned fw800 disk also has an USB port. Connecting the device using USB does not slow down desktop performance, even when transfering large files.

Thanks for you suggestions. I tried them out (and some more).
Here are the results:
You can test to see if the Virtual Memory system is getting overworked by running Utilities Activity >Monitor, click on the System Memory tab and look at PageOuts and PageIns.
I kept an eye on the virtuel memory for a while now. Seems to be fine, even after hours of my usual working procedure there are virtually no page outs.
But if your ratio is good (10% or less), then I'm would suspect instead that you need to re-install a >full combo update of the latest version of OSX.
I reinstallad the 10.6.4 Combo Update. No difference.
Then I installed a fresh copy of OSX on the firewire drive. Running an unpatched OS from the drive is not bad in regards of system response time (actually it's pretty good). But the desktop jerkyness is present all the time.
Then (after switching back to my internal drive again) I stopped keeping an eye on window movement etc. and tried out some games. The results: There is a major difference in performance when the fw drive is working in the background in contrast to an usb2 drive (or even the same fw drive attached using usb). When I am playing the game (in this case it was an opengl port of Doom) there is virtually no performance penalty when I am playing the game while transfering a huge file to an usb2 drive in the background. But when I am transfering a file to the FW drive, there is huge drop in frames per second (roughly 25 - 30 %).
I am wondering if this has anything to with fact that firewire is using dma access to the system memory (in contrast to usb) an there is some sort of congestion on the memory bus. Especially since my issues are linked to gpu performance and the 9400M in the Mini uses shared memory.

Kernal panic - log mentions firewire repeatedly but no firewire device

Hi Guys,
Any help appreciated with this. Firstly although my profile states leopard+ macpro this relates to a G5 running 10.4.11. We had a kernel panic earlier on a machine that has seemed buggy over the last few days (in spite of running Applejack). Weirdly the log mentions firewire repeatedly in spite of no device being mounted (there is a drive plugged in but not mounted + powered off). Ran verify disk + repaired permissions (nothing needed repairing) afterwards. Any ideas? Thank you.

The KP does look Firewire connected; so unplug it.
Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html
Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports

Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, kbd & mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
If you suspect RAM,look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
May be a solution on one of these links.

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

VPN connection works, but can't ping or access any other device on remote network

I have an OS X Lion server at work (uses a static IP of 192.168.2.10). VPN is setup and works.
The work network's router has an IP of 192.168.2.1 and hands out IPs of 192.168.2.100-149. The VPN service is configured to hand out IPs of 192.168.2.150-170.
My home network uses a router with an IP of 192.168.1.1 and hands out IPs from 192.168.1.2-49
Both routers are using subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
The problem is, I can connect to the VPN just fine and access all services running on that same OS X server like iChat and AFP file sharing. But, I cannot directly access any other device on the office network like client machines or even trying to log into the router's GUI interface. Pings timeout, etc.
Example:
At my home, I have a local IP of 192.168.1.12 and I connect to the work VPN. It assigns me an IP address of 192.168.2.151 and I'm able to connect to iChat on the OS X server that has a static IP of 192.168.2.10
In terminal, I try to ping the router on the work network (192.168.2.1) and I get no response (even though ICMP response is turn ON). I try to ping another OS X workstation on the work office, and get no response.
I'm not sure how to fix this, or whether I need to change settings on either router or the server.
Would greatly appreciate any insight or help on this. Thanks.

Check the DNS settings on the server (see my earlier post in this thread).

HT201304 It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.

Please help!
It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device, to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.
I understand that I can set up a different Apple ID for the kids devices, or take physical control of the device and make the changes myself. However, my teenage son is technically savvy enough to have a job in Silicon Valley, as are most young people these days. However, in order to access his devices the current way, I first have to bypass the four digit pass code. This starts a fight of why I need in the device and continues to escalate. The argument that I am the parent will gain access but the fight is simply exhausting, and quite frankly shouldn't have to happen at all. He is not yet an adult, he did not pay for his iPad or iPhone and I, as a parent, should have not only have the right to change options at will, and from anywhere, but look at history or current activity when I feel like it.
I currently have the settings where app and in-app purchases require my password to be put in, and he must come to me to type it in, but I need more control and would like, and should be able to access any of our six devices and make individual changes simply by logging in to my account, with my password.
If I can see all my devices on the "Lost My iPhone" app, this technology should be easy to make happen.
C'mon parents! I have a pretty good kid, given all things that they can get into, but I am not stupid. For everything I see has been done, there is much more I haven't seen. I want my children to be kept safe and be able to know what they are looking at or listening to. We parents are the only ones who know our beliefs and what our kids can handle and when.
Thanks for any support or information that I may be missing in order to fulfill my request.

There are mobile device management solutions that can do this, including in Apple's OS X Server system, but most parents generally find that setting this up is more work than it's worth. If you're interested, though, there are a couple that at least purport to be free (I don't know if there are any hidden "gotchas"):
http://www.unwireddevicelink.com/features/
https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
and Apple's system:
http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
I don't think any, however, allow you to see current activity or browser history. iOS doesn't expose those to access from MDM solutions, to the best of my knowledge.
Regards.

Need to Access the dvd on another computer

I need to access a dvd player on another mac to install some software and i have followed the apple instructions below for sharing another computers dvd and everything works until its time for me to select remote disk under devices...there is nothing there to select...The other mac shows that it is sharing it dvd player...the internet connection is working as i am able to share that computers screen but cant get it to provide me with "remote disk"...any thoughts?? I do not have an internal DVD player it has been turned into a second hard Drive...thank again
To access a DVD or CD on another computer:
Make sure both computers are on the same network (wired or wireless), and the DVD or CD Sharing software is installed on the computer with the optical drive.
Make sure the computer with the optical drive is set up to share the disc.
On a computer with Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sharing, and then select the “DVD or CD Sharing” checkbox. Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
On a computer with Windows XP or Vista: Open the DVD or CD Sharing control panel and select “Enable Remote DVD or CD.” Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
Insert the disc into the optical drive.
On the computer without the optical drive, select Remote Disc under Devices in a Finder window sidebar. If you see the “Ask to use” button, click it.

If you are using two Macs you can try to do this via Target Disk Mode. Info here:

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device?
