Importing using USB/Firewire
I am aware you cannot import into iMovie via. USB with macs. I have alot of footage on a Panasonic mini-DV camcorder which only has a USB output. Is there any solution for importing my footage onto my mac with this set up (i.e. freeware which uploads video and formats it, which can then be imported into iMovie?).
Or... will I have to buy a mini-DV reader of some sort. Or can I fool the mac, and se USB anyway?
I hope someone knows something, as my efforts so far have lead to little bar buy a (crappy) firewire-compatible camcorder and import using firewire. May thanks.
iMovie 08 supports USB connection for many camcorders. Including mine (Panasonic HDC-SD5).
Two suggestions:
1) Check this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306171
2) Hook yours up and see if it works.

MORE INFO ABOUT WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO:
I'm using Final Cut Express 4 and would like to store my video clips on an external hard drive so the internal hard drive in my MacBook Pro 13 doesn't have to work so hard. I heard from a reliable source that it might be impossible to access the files wirelessley though, meaning that I might need to get a wired external hard drive that uses USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
-RickThe experts in the iPhoto, Aperture and iMovie support areas all strongly advise against trying to locate a "working" library on a network drive, like the Time Capsule, even if the Mac is hard wired to the Time Capsule. Things would be a lot more dangerous with a wireless connection.
Apple does as well:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto (or other image) library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
You might want to post in the Final Cut Express support area to see if the folks over there feel the same way.
Final Cut Express HD
Your best best....if you do not have the space on your Mac's hard drive.....would be to add a USB, FireWire or Thunderbolt drive directly to the Mac to establish a "local" connection. This is much better and more reliable setup that trying to use a network drive, like a Time Capsule.
Use the Time Capsule for its designed and intended purpose....your backups.....not "working" files. Time Machine on your Mac can back up both your Mac and the attached hard drive to the Time Capsule. -
Daisy chaning firewire to import or just use USB?
Two options for importing/downloading video from a camcorder to an external drive.
1. connect the camcorder to the firewire 400 port on the external hard drive, and then connec the external hard drive to the macbook using the other firewire 400 port.
2. connect the camcorder to the macbook using firewire and then connect the hard drive to the macbook using USB.
My concern - won't daisy chaining require the data to go from the camcorder to the macbook and then back to the external drive? Wouldn't it just be easier to have it route though to the USB?Daisychaining will work fine unless your camera is a Canon. They do not share Firewire very well.
Firewire is a peer to peer protocol, so data can go from camera to hard drive.
If you have an AVCHD camera, either will work, but Firewire is faster.
If you have a miniDV tape camera, you must use Firewire. -
Importing from my camcorder using USB port
How do I import using a camcorder with a USB connection not a firewire. I cannot seem to work this out. Help!
iDvd'08 will operate perfectly via a Firewire connection (which is the preferred approach for most macs) if for example you wish make a One Step DVD or a Magic DVD. There's a significant difference between these two processes which I won't go into here unless requested to do so.
But if you wish to import video using a USB2 cable, then you have to back up one step to iMovie'08 and here's how you'd perform such a task:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10331.html
In other words USB2 camcorder connectivity is added to the video editing app of iLife'08 and that's where one should start the video editing process. Look into camcorder support for i-apps here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#tutorial=camcorder
iDvd on the other hand has always been an authoring tool for DVD's mainly.
Hope this solves your question but if not, just come on back. Good luck! -
I have a mid 2012 MBP (MacbookPro9,1) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I start a Time Machine backup to an external Western Digital HD (WD5000MT) connected using a Firewire 800 cable, my open programs stop responding and in general my computer freezes up not allowing me to open activity monitor or the console utility. I can't even shut down or restart my computer and must hard boot to reset. Though removing the firewire cable that goes to the external HD can sometimes get my system working again. However, the WD external HD also has a usb port and when I connect it to my computer via a USB cable, Time Machine seems to backup my system fine without stalling my computer. This same external HD worked fine with Firewire 800 using my old late 2007 MBP running snow leopard. I should note that my brother has the exact same model WD external HD and he also had issues with the firewire port on his MBP running mountain lion. I have run the disk utility checking for disk/file permission errors and the drive itself seems fine. I initially formatted that drive as ExFAT but while troubleshooting reformatted to HFS+ and still had the same issue. I tested using a different firewire 800 cable but still had the same issue. Can't think of anything else to do. I don't have another firewire-compatible device to test if it is the HD vs the firewire port. I would prefer to use the firewire port for quicker transfer speeds but I'm stuck with USB for now. Any suggestions?
Maybe these will help:

I'n not able to boot Osx 10.6 from Firewire Hd if I use USB yes ... Why?
Hi ,
I've problem with the internal hd of my Imac. The option is to change de HD or to use an external HD to boot from.
At the Apple store they showed me the possibility to use a firewire HD to install and run the system on my mac . I already had a firewire HD , a WD my passport studio, but I'install easoly the operative system on the HD connected by a firewire but when I need to reboot the system doen't recognize any operative system. If I reboot using the USB is OK but not with the firewire ... so I can install OSX on a firewire but I'm not able to boot using the same connection , I have to switch to USB... Somebody can help me? I read something about some problems that Snow Leopard have with firewire ... maybe using lion can be better?
Thanks and sorry for my grammar mistakes
ValerioIt is free. It is beta. It works well - I use it on mine and two PCs as well...
MS Security Essentials will no longer install due to compatibiliity issues - that is the idea of a beta - and the RC could be out in June.
Windows 7 doesn't work great on any Mac, or Apple drivers, fan cvontrol to manage heat, and other issues.
Put 8 in and get to know it, then when the RC comes out you'll be ready -
How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new Macbook with one USB-C only?
How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new MacBook with only one USB-C?
kaz-k is correct about FireWire not being supported by any possible connector or adaptor to USB-C and never will. However, there is no such thing as a FireWire Hard Drive. There are only SATA (or if it is a really old one, ATA,) drives in a FireWire enclosure. If you can remove the drive from the case/enclosure - bust it open somehow if it is a glued-up unit - then the drive can be placed into a regular USB3 enclosure. Then it can connect to the new MacBook via any one of the adaptors Apple sells.

Firewire connection is not supported. Use USB to transfer songs...
Got message on my ipod saying "Firewire connection is not supported. Use USB to transfer songs" and then it says "Press Center to dismiss"
Restarted the ipod no use!
Connected with my PC no use! (its just charging) does not update of hooked to itunes)
Any ideas how i can fix this??
P.S I have tried cleaning the docking and the cable for any dirt still no use!Does it give you this error all the time or only when plugged in with the cable?
If it does it all the time, have you checked the dock connector for bent pins?
If it only does it when plugged in, have you tried a different cable?

New Extreme: Using USB/FW hub w/FireWire hard drive
I have two laCie external hard drives, one a USB/FireWire and one FireWire only. There are hubs available that have both USB and FireWire ports. If I connect both the USB and the FireWire drives to such a hub, and then connect the hub to the USB port on the new Airport Extreme base station, will my computer be able to read the FireWire drive as well as the USB drive? That is, can I use the hub to link both the USB hard drive and the FireWire hard drive using the USB port on the Extreme? Thanks very much for any thoughts.
PB 15" 1.0 Ghz 1.25G RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5)I have two laCie external hard drives, one a
USB/FireWire and one FireWire only. There are hubs
available that have both USB and FireWire ports. ...
I am planning to attach the same two hard drives (Firewire only and USB/Firewire) to an Airport Extreme BS. Lacie was advertising the connectablility of several HDs with Firewire to build a cluster when I bought the "Firewire only" drive 2004. So my suggestion:
1. connect the HDs via Firewire
2. connect the USB/Firewire HD to the Airport Extreme
Unfortunately I cannot test this setup because I will only buy the USB/Firewire HD and the Airport if someone tells me it will work.
Would step 2 cause the same problems as using dscott1000s hub, or do these USB/Firewire drives have a USB-Firewire-bridge?
Thanks for any comments or "test reports"!

My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?
You'll get better performance if you use a Firewire hard drive (especially if you buy a 7200 RPM drive). Firewire's IO speed is significantly faster than USB 2. USB 2 has a theoretical max speed of 480 Mbps except that it has extremely high over-head. The fastest speeds you can typically get are about 300 Mbps. Firewire, on the other hand, has very little overhead. The fastest speeds you can get are very nearly 800 Mbps. You will typically be constrained by the maximum read/write speed of the drive, not the speed of the I/O on the Firewire bus. Now if you had one of those nice shiny new Macs with the Thunderbolt I/O and a Thunderbolt drive (Light Peak) ... I think they alter space and time so that your data arrives before you know you want it.
Also... unless you want to buy a solid state drive (very expensive), try to keep your hard drives from becoming much more than about 60% full if you want great performance. A nearly "full" hard drive is, on average, only about half as fast as the same hard drive when nearly empty.
USB 2 will work perfectly fine... just not as fast.
Also... it's much safer to move the entire Aperture library than to "relocate masters". Your images must be managed. You can Aperture manage them, or you can manage them. But someone has to manage them. If you "relocate" them so that they are no longer stored inside the Aperture library then you'll need to work out a system of how you decide to organize things and it's critically important that you don't start moving files around or deleting things without Aperture's knowledge. If you do, you'll break the links to your masters and start having problems with missing masters. If you have Aperture manage the library then you don't need to worry about any of that stuff.... it's safer.
Do make backups (use the Aperture Vault or use some other backup program, but make sure you back up your work if you care about it.) There are only two kinds of hard drives in the world: (1) those that have failed and (2) those that are going to fail. There are no exceptions to this rule. Hard drives are cheap. Backup software is built into Aperture and into your Mac. -
I'm considering buying a new iPod, and I was just wondering if I can connect it to my computer using the firewire cord that came with my old iPod. More importantly, though, am I going to be able to use the firewire power adapter, or am I going to have to buy a new one of those too (because from what I understand they don't come with the new ipods!)??
Thanks.
~MaryYou can use the Firewire cord and AC adapter only for charging purposes. All syncing must be done through USB connections.
If your computer does not provide Firewire power (via a 6-pin connection, rather than a 4-pin connection), then you cannot power the iPod from the computer.
The new iPods come with a USB connector that you need to use for Syncing (and can also provide power). -
Panic when using USB 2 multi card reader
On 2 different intel iMacs, I've got the following error using a USB2 Multi Card Reader (Shows up as a Mass Storage Device under Sys Pref):
IOUSBMassStorageClass has corrupted the registry
Registry - am I running windoz or something??!?!?!
I've used this multi card reader on my G4 for a long time and never had any problems with it. On these 2 different intel iMac's it often stops importing my photos, and sometimes won't mount my memory stick cards. One one occasion I got the black/gray screen telling me to restart my computer, and that's when I got the message above. Yes, I've tried other memory cards, and a different USB cable... and at times I still loose communication with the card reader.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!

Usb + firewire issues = kernel panic - help needed!!
Hello, and please forgive my english, I'll do my best!
So, i have a 1,25 Ghz MDD G4, with 2 x 256 Mo RAM sticks (at first), running mac OS 10.3.9.
As the original HD is too small, I work with my documents on an external firewire HD. The HD is plugged on a third party/PCI firwire card that went down.
On the same day I bought a new firewire card (trendNet, it was said to be mac compatible form mac OS 8.6) and 4 x 512 Mo of Ram (Hynix).
It worked just fine for a week and suddenly my mouse froze (and keyboard too > the mouse is plugged on the keyboard). Having no control on my mac (which seemed ok despite the usb deconnection) I had to hard reboot on the central Unit.
I unplugged the usb hub that occupied mu 2nd usb port (there was a wacom tablet and a flsh memory key on it). I left just the keyboard plugged (and mouse plugged on keyboard).
It was fine for... 2 or 3 hours and then it started again > mouse + keyboard deconnecting/freezing (the keyboard is a mac one, the mouse a microsoft one -optical-).
As the small red optical light of the mouse turns off when the mouse freezes I first thought the mouse or keyboard itself was the culprit.
I tested both of them them on a macbook and they worked just fine (never had a problem with them).
I ran disk utility, repaired the permissions. And it seemed better for a couple of hours.
When it happened again I unplugged the keyboard and plugged it on the 2nd usb port (which was free since I had unplugged everything else) > the mouse "came back to life" and I didn't have to reboot. But it happened again, like 2-3 times (every hour/half hour) until swapping the usb plug on the UC doesn't solve the problem anymore > hard reboot again...
Then I tried EVERYTHING
booting with techtool CD > everything ok, no pb found
running onyx to empty the cash and rerepair the permissions > ibid, no pb
resetting the PRAM with cmd-alt-p-r
resetting the PMU
resetting the usb and firewire ports after each hard reboot
cleaning the dust
removing my old scsi pci card (not used for ages)
moving my new firewire card on an another slot
installing a firmware update
nothing has solved the problem... it seems to arrive randomly, but mostly (more frequently) when working with several apps open.
The cursor seems to freeze for very very short periods (as a warning!) until it freezes for good > it's exactly as if the usb didn't deliver any electricity for micro laps of time (and it is the case I guess as my optical mouse light turns off).
So I change the usb plug into the other port and it works for a while, just as if only one usb port was functional at a time, but it always ends with a hard reboot (no choice).
It's always scary but it's also very annoying as my Western Digital Mybook external drive refuses to mount on desktop after hard reboots... I have to unplug it, replug it, restart etc... well this HD is a pain but I guess it's because it's in FAT 32 (since I forgot to format it when I bought it). So I don't bother too much about the HD itself, but however it seems that the firewire card suffers from this : I have a lot of trouble mounting 2 disks at a time (but with all this I need to backup!). It's like the fiwewire ports (of the pci card) suffered from the same pain as the usb : one at the time! and when I finally mount both external HDs, if I unplug one (after unmounting it and switching it off) the computer freezes.
Then one day I opened itunes, and... kernel panic...
That was 4 days ago I think and I've had like 3-4 KP since then (one a day). These kernel panic happen just as randomly as my usb deconnexions...
Today I tried my last chance : removing the new Hynix ram and putting back my 2 old 256 rams.
It was ok for a pair of hours and then > mouse freeze and kernel panic again...
I reaaally need help, I don't know what to do anymore. I've spent my last week unplugging usb plugs, opening my UC, repairing permissions etc...
now I feel helpless...
Here are some extracts of console logs I've had :
some :

My complements on that. While I read the post quickly, it was only later that I saw you're in Paris....
Anyway, I'm not an expert on logs (system and panic ones), but from what I can tell there is a problem with the PCI USB/Firewire card you installed. It looks like it's the USB portion of the card; those are happing at startup when I'm pretty sure there's a kind of initial checking of the PCI cards.

The panics show dependencies to USB and FW:

dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOFireWireFamily(1.8.8)@0x407000
The problems with the card at startup are probably creating an unstable condition, which in turn is causing kernel panics later on.
Basic things first, whenever you change the hardware setup, e.g. RAM and adding cards, it's a really good idea to reset-PRAM. Did you do that? Try that first, it's simple and easy enough to try.
If resetting the PRAM doesn't help, then try the new PCI card. I re-read your post a few times, but I haven't seen whether you tried removing the PCI FW/USB card to see if that helps. Try your mouse and some other devises on the native USB and FW ports. If you're stable, then it very well could be the card.
Of course there's also the question of the RAM, which you pulled without help. Again, after any change of the hardware (adding RAM, pulling RAM, adding/pulling cards, etc.) even during testing, reset the PRAM at startup.
With new RAM it's usually a good idea to test it, with say AHT CD or Rember. If you test, you might want to do this without the new card. It's a little tricky right now because you added 2 new pieces of HW (RAM and FW/USB card) either which or both could cause the problems you're seeing. OS X is picky about RAM, and the MDDs in particular are extremely picky about RAM as far as Apple HW is concerned.
Lots of kernel panics can eventually cause damage to the OS X installation. So in the end, it may be worth re-installing. But, before you take that route. Try the simple things like removing the PCI FW/USB card & testing, and testing the RAM. Take it one step at a time. -
Been looking for a way to use my firewire 800 devices with my macbook air - which has only usb and thunderbolt ports. I've seen internet pages for an adapter from sonnet but have not found anywhere to actually purchase such a thing. Would love to be able to at least try to use the thunderbolt port - for something - or trade the thing in for something with present day usable firewire 800 ports. Is this thunderbolt technology already getting shelved? I see like 5 items on the market that actually use this port... really? That's it? Thank you for any guidance!
Sonnet has an TB-capable expresscard adapter.
