Which audio cards can be bus powered using the Thunderbolt to firewire adapter ?

Hi
I was surprised to hear that the new TB to FW adapter let pass only 7W maximum, when the official Firewire specifies 7W _minimum_. On paper this means that my RME FireFace400, for example, can't be bus powered any more since it needs 13 w.
I think a list of TB > FW adapter compatible audio cards would be useful for all potential MB Air and MBP Retina users who are not ready to carry external batteries all the time

Using the Ultralite with FW-TB adapter here without issue... with or withou external power.. though admittedly i use with with an external power supply 90% of the time.
So, check the adaptor itself.. Some of them have been reported as having loose connections.. when plugged into the Mac... so shut down your MBP (Important to do this.. don't just restart it or put it to sleep) take the adaptor itself out of the back of the Mac... and reinsert. Wait at least 2 minutes (Also important..) and then start Mac up and it should reset and be back to normal operation.
If that doesn't work.. try doing a full PRAM reset too...

No idea about Win 8 because i don't use it... but it does work fine with Win 7 and the correct drivers... Just make sure you install/update to the latest Boot Camp (Don't even think about trying to use Audio stuff via any of the Windows emulators/virual rigs....such as VMware Fusion for example.. You are asking for lots of trouble trying that...) and it's drivers.. for the FW to TB adapter to be properly recognised by Win 7...

Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

Can I connect my old mac to my new mac using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter

I've got a lot of data to transfer from one mac to another, one with thunderbolt and one without. I was wondering if by using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter I could connect the two macs in a target mode kinda way.
I know people will answer with a lot of other options in how to do this, but I am specifically interested in whether or not this option is possible.
Thanks!

you can use the adapter with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later, but you'll want to install the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 after having the 10.7.4 upgrade
10.7.4

Are there any problems using the Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter?

I found the only way to migrate my old mac to my new i
mac was to use a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter, or ethernet. Am I correct?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can also migrate wirelessly > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
However, I recommend you to use FireWire to migrate from your old Mac because it will be much faster than Wi-Fi or Ethernet, so if your old Mac has got a FireWire port, buy the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter for your Late 2012 iMac and migrate from your old computer

HT3382 using the thunderbolt to vga adapter, i have to unplug and replug the connection to get my display to "wake up" what's the deal?

using the thnderbolt to vga adapter, I have to unplug and replug the connection to get my disply to "wake up" What's the deal? otherwise works fine.
Same on initial boot up

First try > Resetting your Mac's PRAM
There have also been others reporting problems with analog VGA connected monitors. If your monitor also supports DVI, then you may want to use the supplied HDMI to DVI adapter or switch to a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and a good DVI cable.

Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter gets very hot in use (?)

I've had the thunderbolt to firewire adapter cable for a month, connecting either a 500 GB or 1 TB "G-Drive" bus-powered HD. I note the small box at the firewire end of the adapter cable becomes quite warm in use.
Is this to be expected?
It is worrisome from, at least, the perspective of economy of power consumption, on a MacBook Air, used frequently away from a power outlet.

You might want to post in the MacBook Air forum, then. This is the Apple Thunderbolt Dislpaly forum...

HT5035 I can't seem to use the balance on my account in the itunes store without putting in the code of the original card. This has never happened before and I don't have the original card. Help please?

I can't seem to use the balance left in my i-tunes account without re-entering the code from the original i-tunes gift card. I no longer have the card. How can I purchase music using the balance without the card?

the code from the original i-tunes gift card is not required again once redeemed.

A few reasons I can think of, but instead of shooting in the dark, lets check with experts who can look at your account.

I would recommend that you download and install the excellent and Free "VLCPlayer for Mac", which reads many more types of files for video than Quicktime Player:

Hi,
Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-) I am now one very happy lady.
I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!

Which Funtion module can get print parameter in the background?

Hi all,
I know the FM"GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS"can get the print parameter, but I find it can't get the print parameter in background. Does anybody know Which Funtion module can get print parameter in the background?
Thanks in advance!
Nina

Hi Nina,
This is text copied from SAP HELP.
FU GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS
Text
    Read, determine, change spool print parameters and archive parameters
Functionality
    The function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS is used to define, modify and
    display the print and archive parameters. Using this function module is
    the only correct way to modify a print or archive parameter record. The
    print parameters are closely related and contain a check total. This
    check total becomes invalid if any of the print parameters are changed
    and causes a runtime error when the print parameters are used later.
    The module recognizes the following modes (values of parameter MODE):
    'PARAM'              Normal case. Define the print parameters for the
                         current program. The values that are not defined
                         are specified from the user master record or are
                         assigned default values. The print parameter screen
                         displays the PRINT key. This mode is used
                         if the MODE parameter is not specified.
    'PARAMSEL'           Like PARAMS, except that the print parameter screen
                         includes an option to activate the selection
    screen.
    'BATCH'              Define the print parameters for a background job.
                         In this mode, the name of the report to be started
                         is passed with the REPORT parameter.The REPORT
                         statement of the specified report is checked for
                         LINE-SIZE and LINE-COUNT definitions. These
                         definitions are passed as default specifications.
                         Furthermore, the SAVE key is offered
                         instead of the PRINT key in this mode.
Check the BATCH MODE.
