Suggestions for Firewire port allocation for DAW

Hi all,
I'm wondering if I've got my rig set up the way it should be. Specifically I'm talking about how / where is the best way to hook up my Apogee Ensemble & external FW drive. My understanding is that my machine (PPC G5 Dual 2.3) has one FW 800 port on the front and two FW400 ports on the rear (one with a different type of connection than the other). Should I put both the Apogee and my external HD (that I use with Logic projects) on the 800 port? Should one go on the 400 in the rear? What would be the best set up?
Thanks in advance!
Mark

Hi Mark,
You have your 400/800 mixed up...
Your G5 has two Firewire "400" ports (one on the front and one on the back), and one Firewire "800" port on the back.
FW800 port...
FW400 port...
Do you have a FW800 Drive, then that'd likely gain the most from the FW8oo port.

  • COMPATIBLE CAMCORDER & EXTERNAL HARDRIVE FOR MacBook WITHOUT FIREWIRE PORT.

    Good Evening Ladies & Gentleman,
    I have a MacBook(13" Aluminum 2008 version) that does NOT have a firewire port, just USB.
    - As far as CAMCORDERS go, What Model and Brand is best compatible with it?
    - Also, as far as EXTERNAL HARDRIVES goes, which ones will be most compatible with the MacBook 13" Aluminum version 2008?
    - SUGGESTIONS WILL BE MUCH, MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS.

    Hey,
    As for camcorders - I don't really think that there is any limitation caused by your Macbook. Perhaps every single model by all the wide-known manufacturers as Canon, Sony, Panasonic, etc. has a USB port, so you don't have to worry about firewire.
    As for external hard drives - You can find a huge number of external hard drives that are 100% compatible with all Macs for sure, on the Apple Online Store.

  • OneStep asking for firewire connection-my Sony HDR-SR11 doesn't have firewire port. Help.

    The question says it all.  I wanted to use OneStep to move all my home movies to a DVD, but iDVD is asking me to connect via firewire and my video camera-a Sony HDR-SR11-doesn't have a firewire port.  I don't want to go through the extra step of importing into imovie because that will take a ton of time.  Any other suggestions?

    Only 2 options that come to mind. The first is to do a one step from a movie (as opposed to a one step from from the camera) within the file menu in iDvd. And yes, you will have to export first from the video editing app (iMovie / FCP) prior to using iDvd's One Step. No way to avoid this when using apple's iLife.
    The other option is to use a hardware approach; something like Sony's Dvdirect that requires no PC and burns directly to DvD-R at the touch of one button. Menus aren't as nice as iDvd's but the quality is very good. Try ebay if this option appeals to you. I picked up one for about the same price as iLife software.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage.  This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
    The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port.  There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

  • Is a 1394 mini firewire port for DV cameras a regular firewire port?

    I wanted use the mini 1394 mini fire wire port for some peripherals (IDE drive in firewire enclosure). I have digital camera cable with a 4pin? mini firewire plug and a 6pin? normal fire wire plug (both are males). Or mini fire wire ports for cameras only. All I will do is some backups, performance is not needed.
    Just cause it fits, it don't make it right. (remember the ADB and Svhs cables?)
    I do not want to be surprised with a burnt inexpensive resistor that cost very much to change.
    Thankyou in advance

    No, Apple dropped the firewire port on the White Unibody MacBooks in 2009. If you you need a firewire port you'll have to upgrade to a MacBook Pro or get a used pre-2009 MacBook.

  • Checking for FireWire port trouble

    Hello,
    I've got an iMac G3 running OS 10.4.11 and would like to know if there is a way to check the status of the 2 FireWire ports without the external DVD drive that was used to install OS X. The drive stopped working and has been sent for repair and/or replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you want to confirm that the FireWire bus/port is operating correctly and that it's not the cause of the external DVD drive's failure? Obviously, another FireWire device would provide the answer, since you're not going to be able to check the FireWire controller chip on the motherboard.

  • G5 Firewire-ports poor for audio interfaces??

    Hello. I have reason to believe that the FireWire-ports on the new G5:s are not really stable enough to handle an audio interface. Storage devices are okay (much less complex protocol).
    My G5 constantly loses contact with my Digi 002R interface, or chokes on CPU even on low level usage, and on the Pro Tools forum many users have experienced this. The G4:s had much more stable FW-ports!
    For some users it helps to use only one of the two FW400-ports, not both.
    Is this a known issue? Has Apple ever commented on this? Does the warranty cover this? (It should)
    Niljam, new to this forum

    I recently switched from a MOTU 828 running off the FW400 connector on the back of my G5 to a Yamaha mLan-based solution.
    When I switched to mLan, admittedly running potentially tons more channels in/out, the internal FW bus "fell over" (connector on the front and the 400 and 800 connectors are all on the same bus no matter it turns out).
    I popped a PCI firewire card and the audio stuff worked MUCH better, it was immediate. That's not to say that things work perfectly now... if the machine has been in sleep mode for a while, mLan's autoconnector hangs quite severely, whereby it's not even possible to force quit it... really ugly actually.
    at any rate... for 8 in/out, certainly on MOTU, the on-board FW will "do", but it's probably best to get another FW card, especially if you're going to put sample libraries etc on an external FW drive, then you'd want that to be separate from the audio streams...
    hope this helps!

  • Firewire port for Canon XH-A1s camera

    I am considering buying a Canon XH-A1s camera. However, I would have to connect it to a firewire port, and don't currently have one on my macbook. Is there any way to have one installed? (also, I've heard that USB to Firewire adapters don't work for this purpose).

    No, Apple dropped the firewire port on the White Unibody MacBooks in 2009. If you you need a firewire port you'll have to upgrade to a MacBook Pro or get a used pre-2009 MacBook.

  • IMac FireWire port used for USB device

    I have a 27" iMac which of course has a FireWire port, but I don't own any external FireWire devices. I'd like to put that empty port to use as a USB port to connect an external storage device. Is there a cable, converter, or adapter made to do that?

    Common user always looks at the bottom line price on computer peripherals and USB devices are always cheaper. USB 2.0, in theory, should be faster than FireWire 400, but they usually aren't because of the way USB transfers data in short bursts or packets of data. FireWire 400 and 800 drives are faster as they transmit data in a more continuous, constant and reliable stream of data.
    This is why devices that use FireWire or have both USB and FireWire connections are always more expensive.
    So, those users never use the FireWire port.
    FireWire is faster for external hard drives, especially data transfers and for booting and running a Mac from an external FireWire drive. FireWire optical drives are faster. FireWire audio devices and interface devices are even faster and more reliable than USB.
    FireWire is more expensive, but more reliable data transfer protocol.
    There is no way to bridge the two device protocols . It's either one or the other. The masses always choose the cheaper USB devices.
    The masses don't care about faster and consistent data transfer rates or  better reliability.
    Especially if a user isn't some sort of creative like a graphics, designer, Illustrator, photographer, digital painer/3D-CGI Artist, engineer, audio or video/multimedia professional.

  • Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it?

    Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it? Just in case it makes a difference I am trying to hook up an Avid Mbox Pro for Pro tools.

    What is the part number and model of Firewire adapter?
    I have used them in the past without any problems whatsoever.

  • Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

  • Suggestions for replacing out port vi

    I  am working at replacing an old computer with a new 64 bit/Windows 7.  Problem is that I can no longer use the Out port vi and wondering if there is any simple way to go about this without having to redesign the complete tester.  Any suggestions for parallel port communication would be great.  I currently use RS232, the parallel port and PCI cards for GPIB and RS232 on the old computer that I am trying to upgrade the system. 
    I appreciate any suggestions you may have!!

    I concur with Dennis. I have used DIO boards of different types to simulate everything from parallel printer ports to microprocessor buses.
    The key to minimizing impact is to write driver VIs for whatever hardware that you end up with that are drop in replacements for old VIs.
    By that I mean that they not only need to have matching connector panes and terminals, but also perform the same function logically.
    How fast does the program need to be able to update the output? The answer to that question will tell you how fast (and expensive) a board you will need.

  • Adapter card for firewire ports

    iMovie recognizes my camera but will not download. Genius Bar succeeded using an adapter card with firewire ports with assumption that port on computer was bad.
    I am searching Apple Store and cannot find this adapter card. What would it be called?
    thanks for help

    If you mean the online Apple Store, it doesn't currently carry any adapter cards of that type. They are available from many other online vendors. But why not buy one exactly like the one the Genius used, at the store where s/he used it?
