New Drobo with fire wire

My Imac 24 3.06 seems to take longer booting up since installing the fire wire drobo with two 1.5TB drives

If you have OS X installed on an external drive it's possible your system is starting from it instead of your internal drive. You can check by going to System Prefrences and clicking on Startup disk, choose the internal drive and exit system prefrences. Then do a restart to test.

  • 5th gen 80g only charges with fire wire

    Hi my 80 gig ipod did not work after not charging for a long time (it just said battery to low please wait then a blank screen) so i put a new battery in it came on all good but when i plugged it in my mac nothing happened (did not sync or charge) so i tried it in in a docking bay that charges but it did not charge but music came out of speakers so i reset it still nothing then i thought i try a different cable to mac (a old one a fire wire with usb as well) it worked with both connected so i restored it but it only works with both plugged in if i unplug the fire wire it still seen by my itunes by the usb and syncs but if i just plug the usb in nothing (on the same cable) until i plug the fire wire in and itunes opens

    I don't have the internet at the moment (and won't do for a while) so upgrading isn't an option - and you don't get a disc with the iTUnes software with video ipods it seems, so I can't upgrade my software that way. I just want to use my new ipod as soon as possible and was expecting to just be able to plug it into my computer and download without any problems.

  • How can I use Pro Tools with Fire Wire interface and Fire Wire external HD

    If Mac Book Pro has only one Fire Wire jack and I want to use Pro Tools with an M Audio 1814 Firewire interface and an external Fire Wire HD how do I get around the fact that the Mac Book Pro has only one fire wire jack?
    Pro Tools says that they DO NOT recommend using USB 2 Hard Drives as recording drives.
    If I plug my External HD into the back of the 1814 it is way too slow to use, plus, I don't know why, Pro Tools is telling me that my External HD is "not a valid audio volume". It is a MAC OS Extended (Journaled) external Firewire HD (G-TECH G-DRIVE)

    You could consider getting a firewire hub or get an expresscard 34 adapter with a firewire port.
    I personally use a Belkin Expresscard adapter that gives me an extra firewire port as well as two extra USB 2.0 ports.
    Good luck.

  • X220i Express card with Fire Wire 400 adaptor

    I'd like to know if there is a suitable Expresscard for the x220i that has a Fire Wire port.  I already bought one but it didn't slot in properly although it does fit an older IBM laptop that I have.  I need to download stuff from a video camera and don't want to buy the wrong thing again.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Solved!

    Hello,
    My understanding is that the X220i (like my X220) has an ExpressCard/54 slot, that is, an ExpressCard slot which is 54mm wide.  Any 54mm or 34mm wide ExpressCard should fit in there, but older 16-bit PCMCIA or 32-bit CardBus cards will not, as they have different connectors.
    OWC, Rain Computers, SIIG, Sonnet, StarTech and SYBA all make FireWire ExpressCard adapters which should work fine with your X220i.

  • Transferring files from old computer with fire wire

    I'm transferring files from my old computer to my new one. The old one has three hard drives. Everything from the startup drive transferred OK over fire wire, but the new computer doesn't see the 2nd and 3rd hard drives on the old one. Is there a way to link these? Thanks!

    Click here and follow the instructions, setting up FireWire networking from System Preferences if desired. FireWire Target Disk mode will only connect to the master ATA drive on the ATA 0 bus, and will shut down the computer if there's nothing at that location.

  • Problems using FW-7344 with Fire Wire Video Cameras

    Is it a bad idea to use the FW-7344 with other devices on the same fire wire bus?
    We are trying to use an FW-7344 with a fire wire video camera but we tend to get packet errors that force a reset of the controller. We suspect that the problem is related with the camera and controller being on the same fire wire bus.
    We instantly see problems when we connect two FW7344s and one video camera on the same fire wire card.

    The NIMax program reads Packet Error. I can't recall the first error that our program reads, but I think it typically says something about not being able to communicate return values from the controller to the host computer.
    This makes me think that the NI driver on the host does not retry after failing to get return data from the controller. This assumption may be valid with the PCI version, but probably is not with the FireWire version.
    It only takes one camera for this problem to happen, but the problem is intermittent.

  • Problem with fire wire

    I am trying to use another Mac as an external hard drive.
    My Mac is not turning on (it gets stuck at the grey screen) and wish to back up all my files to another Mac before I take my laptop into the apple store. I have bought a fire wire cable to connect to another Mac.
    My Mac is displaying the fire wire symbol but my hard drive does not appear on the host Mac.
    Any suggestions?

  • Since 5.1.1 update can not play music in vehicle. Vehicle is 08 Toyota tacoma with fire wire connection into back of of stock stereo unit. Acessory connected screen glitches and no sound music or notifications will play

    Have tried everything including several restores, set up as new phone. Also deleted firmware file in itunes and restored with fresh firmware all results in the same symptom. Have talked with 3 Apple tech support and no solution. Also tried another 4s 5.1.1 with stereo and it worked perfect so definately an issue with my phone not cable etc....

  • How do you transfer from mini to imac with fire wire if iMac has Lion and mini has snow leopard

    My logic board has gone on my mini(intel) and I need to transfer this machine to an iMac(with Lion) how do I do this as it doesn't seem to be working with my disc.My update to Lion was purchased as a download and the only disc I have is snow leopard to reboot.

    If your Mac mini has a dead logic board then you will not be able to boot it at all, not even in Target Disk Mode. You would either have to get the logic board repaired, or remove the hard disk and either put it in a disk enclosure or connect it in some other way to the iMac.
    The fact that the two Macs ran different versions of OS X is irrelevant, once you have the drive connected to the iMac you can run the Migration utility to migrate the user account and data.

  • HT2477 transfer accounts with fire wire 400 cable?

    I want to transfer two user accounts and their data from my old iMac 21" to a new a Mac-mini. What's next after i connect my firewire 400 cable?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
    In step #8 be sure to turn the disclosure triangle to choose the accounts to migrate.
    If this is the first time you booted your Mac and you're in setup assistant then, you want to choose at least your Admin. If this is after you've already been through Setup Assistant then be careful you don't duplicate the account you already have.

  • How do you hook up a fire wire video camera to the 13 inch aluminum macbook

    I have a 13 inch mac book with only USB, but a video camera that only has a fire wire output jack.
    How can I hook up the camera with fire wire out to the USB in on the new 13 inch MB?
    Is there an accessory I can buy that will do this? Link to the product?
    Thanks!

    There is no option/accessory to do this. You'll need to get a different camera, or use a computer with firewire.

  • Cloning to External Fire Wire HD

    Hello
    I have a new iMac and have quickly gobbled up it's internal HD with digital video imports. I want to do two things. Get these files out of my internal HD, onto and external HD, but also use the external HD as a bootable clone. Can I use a new 1tb external fire wire HD for both?
    I've read that if you use an application like Superduper to clone with, you sould leave the clone "untouched" to allow a clean version in the event of a main HD crash.
    Does Superduper (or something similar) do regular updates of the clone, or do I need to do that myself?
    What about the rest of the space on the external HD, can I use it to store reemes of digital video files, and digital pictures while awaiting editing and processing without compromising the clone of my HD, which I want available for a clone. Or is a cloned HD a sacred place reserved only for emergencies.
    Thanks
    Stinkball

    I've had luck with Carbon Copy Cloner. Just make sure your external HD is partitioned using the GUID scheme. I think CCC takes care of synching things.
    I'd partition the drive (if it's large enough) so your clone is the same size as the internal, and then use the rest of the drive as a separate volume.

  • Fire wire or usb Connection for external disk dvd disk drive

  • Why can't I use fire-wire to sync my ipod?!?!

    The system won't allow me to synch my ipod with fire wire!! Why!?! I just bought a super nice mac pro you would think they would let me step it from from SLOW USB!!!!!!!!

    Firewire support was discontinued with the introduction of the the 5th Generation iPod and the iPod Nano so it hasn't been an option for quite a while now. Current iPods will charge over Firewire but they no longer sync using it. You can send your feedback on it's absence directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
