Ieee 1394 fire wire

Is there a way to add an ieee1394 fire wire port to an hp pavilion dv7 lap top? 

There is no PCMCIA slot. There is no device that will provide firewire through the media card slot. The motherboard cannot be modified. This is a common issue today and there is just no solution. I have explored all options myself.

  • HDX 18/dv8t IEEE 1394/Fire Wire performance problem in Win 7

    The IEEE1394 interface lives on the PCI express bus at IRQ 16, which is shared by several other devices. Audio interfaces, such as the M-Audio Pro Fire and Fire Wire series do not work reliably with the shared IRQ. In Vista, by comparison, the IEEE 1394 interface has its own IRQ, and seems to run more reliably.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Well, I found a workaround for my issue. It's described in this article:
    [url="iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop"]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836[/url]
    By disabling the "Sandard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" in device manager, my iPod was correctly recognized and I was able to sync with iTunes. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that: a) Windows warns me that my "device can operate faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port" - and the sync with iTunes runs slowly; b) if I reanable that USB device (as suggested in the Apple article, my iPod is no longer recognized.
    For now, I'll just disable this device when I need to sync, then reenable it when done. But this is going to be a pain. I really don't consider this a fix. It's really annoying that the iPod is the only USB device that requires this kind of nonsense.
    Looking forward to a "real" fix for this some time soon.

  • I have a HP 500 250ea and have tried to fit a IEEE 1394a fire wire.

    I want to fit a fire wire to the HP 500 250ae desk top, so I boought the card from Maplins, but when I opened the back of my computer, the connector, just one did not fit the card.

    Alan, welcome to the forum.
    What is the make/model of the firewire card?  A link to it would be helpful.

  • FIRE WIRE IEEE1394 FOR LAP TOP

    I am trying to transfer videos from my sony Handycam to my laptop.  Previously I did this with my desk top thru a Firewire but my lap top does not have a Firewire port.  Sony will not transfer via USB.  Is there any way I can add a Firewire to my laptop, either internally or externally?

  • HP Pavilion Elite m9040n Desktop and Fire Wire 1394

    I have the above mentioned Desktop. It has a 1394 plugin on the front of case. Does the Pavilion come with all the software to make fire wire work? I backed up my hard drive onto an Toshiba external disk with a USB cable the other day and it took 6 hours. Isn't fire wire suppost to transfer data faster than a USB cable? Is there any special things I need to know when buying fire wire 1394.
    I was looking on the internet the other day and they showed fire wire with 4 and 6 pins. Looking into the hole on my computer it only looks like 3 pins?
    Thanks

    Rick, welcome to the forum.
    There is no software necessary for Firewire (IEEE 1394a).  The driver is installed with the OS.
    Here is the Motherboard Specifictions page for the computer.  It only shows that there is a Firewire (IEEE 1394a) port (# 11) in the Back I/O ports.
    Here is an article that shows the comparison of speed of Firewire vs USB.  Firewire was developed by Apple.
    I hope this information answers your questions.

  • Fire wire - # and number of pins?

    I want to add an external drive to my mac mini (non intel), and I plan to do this with a fire wire connection. I have found that fire wire cables are defined by the number of pins (4 or 6) an number IEEE-1396 or 1394. I believe I need to buy a cable, IEEE-1394 with 6 pins on each end. Can anyone confirm this belief before I buy the cable.
    Thank you for your comments.

    Hi,
    I admit I have never heard of IEEE 1396 before you posted it here.
    However a quick googling came up with quite some hits.
    To my knowledge (and from the Google hits) it seems that IEEE 1396 is used to determine a 6-pin to 6-pin cable connection, whereas IEEE 1394 is used for a 6-pin to 4-pin cable connection.
    4-pin ports are usually only used with external devices, that don't need/want to draw power from the Firewire cable (like Digital cameras and the like) or computers (like Notebooks) that don't provide power over the Firewire cable.
    Nonetheless the only 'official' name for Firewire of any kind is IEEE 1394 with the addition of small letters like 'a' 'b' or 'c' to distinguish the differences in speed (Firewire 400; Firewire 800).
    So look at the Firewire ports you want to connect with the cable to determine which cable you need.
    Take care and thanks for the star.

  • What fire  wire cable?

    I want to attach a fire wire device to my new Mac mini. I can not find a cable with a connector that fits the little fire wire receptical on the Mac. The standard plug is 6 pin, the same as on my old FW800 Mac. So I bought a 6 pin to 4 pin, not right. The IEEE 1394 says there are 6 pin to 6 pin (which I have) , 6 pin to 4 pin, and 6 pin to 9 pin. Could the Mac have a 9 pin receptical?? I wouldn't ask but the cables are $8.00 each and the store won't take it back once it's ripped open.
    Thanks Bob

  • CAn we have a Fire wire Interface cable longer than 4.5 m

    Can I have a fire wire interace cable longer than 4.5m. CVS manual Specifies that better signal intergrity it is better to use less than 4.5 m. But I Found from www.1394store.com that IEEE 1394 cable is available for 10m. If I use this will this work with CVS?

    You may be able to use it, but I wouldn't guarantee it. I assume the cable will work with some firewire applications, otherwise the company wouldn't be able to sell it. It may only work at the lower data rates though, so if you are sending large volumes of data it may not work.
    I would suggest looking into a repeater. You can use it to connect two 4.5m cables. It is powered from the firewire cable, so it isn't much trouble. You can chain three or four cables together using repeaters before you need to use a powered hub. Some repeaters even have a cable built in on one end. My only concern with a repeater would be making sure the cable stays plugged in.

  • How can i download video hdv minicasset​te footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?

    How can I download video HDV minicassette footage from my sony video camera with no fire wire port?

    Hi,
    Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:
    (a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)
    You can buy from this:

  • Connecting IEEE 1394 & I394b

    I have a mid-2010 27' inch IMac and I would like to connect it to my cira 2001 Yamaha CD External Recorder.  Both have firewire the Yamaha is IEEE 1394 and Mac is 1394b. Is that possible?  If so, what wires and/or adapotors do I need to get to make everything work. 

    1394 is probably 400 (6 pins) and 1394b is 800 (9 pins). Do you have your Yamaha manual? It will tell you which Firewire port and cable you need. If you don't, you can Google the burner model number to find out. Sounds like you have 400 on the CD burner and 800 on the iMac. The 800 will slow to 400 when connected. Since the burner is 400 that can't be helped. You can get an 800 cable and a 800 to 400 adapter.
    One way to solve it would be to go to a Best Buy that has an Apple Store inside, with your burner in hand, and show it to the guy/gal and tell him/her what you want to do. The cables won't be cheap there. You can look and then order online, or just buy there and be done with it.

  • IEEE-1394 MoBo connector

    Hi,
    The Neo Platinum board has 2 IEEE-1394 connectors on it, according to the handbook.
    However, these connectors are the same "9 out of 10-pin" connectors used for USB connections.  While this may be fine for the MSI specific adaptor, my computer case has an internal wire with a normal IEEE-1394 6-pin connector on the end.
    Anyone know where I could get an adaptor (in the UK)?  I've looked on PC direct seller sites (dabs, etc) and on RS Components but I cannot find one.
    Cheers,
    David

  • How to connect a DV camera through the IEEE 1394 port on my A50?

    Hi
    I have been trying to connect a video camera to my notebook SA50-109 throught the IEEE 1394 port.. but the notebook didn't recognize the camera at all..
    although the camera shows 'DV-in' when i plug the cable witch is (4-pin to 4-pin) DV cable..
    is there any thing I need to do before to make it work?
    any ideas.. please?

    Hi there. Your PC should recognize automatically the DV camera. It's OK to have the firewire (1394) connection shown under "network connections". Next to mine it says "connected" although the harddisk connected to it is switched off. Maybe there is something wrong with the cable? Or, another suggestion, try to restart the laptop while the camera is connected ... Not many further suggestions I'm afraid ... Good luck!

  • How do I connect  Apple 20" Cinema Display to orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

    The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display.  The display will run without it.

  • I am using IMovie 11 with a new iMac.  Unable to import video from a Panasonic PV-GS400 mini-DV camcorder using a Firewire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter which is then connected to a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

    How can I get iMovie to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS400 as a device so I can import video to my iMac?  I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to the camcorder.  Since my new iMac has only Thunderbolt ports, I purchased a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter to connect to the cable.  I also purchased a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect to the computer.  My camcarder is still not recognized.

    I would suggest that you try a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable along with the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
    Those Firewire 400 to 800 adapters do not seem to work well with iMovie.
    The 9 pin to 4 pin cables are available at reasonable prices here, for example.
