Trouble with Firewire Ports

My MacBook Pro crashed and ever since the firewire ports (both) will not recognize any drives, audio interfaces or camcorders. When I check the System Profiler under FireWire Bus it says "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices."
Has anyone had this trouble? (USB is working fine.)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try resetting the PMU, this worked for me.

Time Capsule with Firewire ports?

Looking for more speed. So does anyone know if Apple has any intentions of releasing a Time Machine with firewire ports? If so when and as a side note when did Apple upgrade their Time Capsule to 802.11 and did it make much of a difference in speed or operating capabilities? Thank you for the help.

So does anyone know if Apple has any intentions of releasing a Time Machine with firewire ports?
Sorry, but no one on a user-to-user forum will have any information about what a notoriously secretive company like Apple might do. Even if we did, the Terms of Use Agreement for this area....which we all "signed"....does not allow discussions of this type.
when did Apple upgrade their Time Capsule to 802.11
All models of the Time Capsule that have ever been offered are 802.11 devices. You must be thinking of some other "feature" here. Please clarify.

Trouble with Firewire 400 ports

My firewire ports seem to be working intermittently. Sometimes my external drive will hang when I am trying to back up data to it, and nothing works except to unplug the drive (ouch!). I have tried Force Quit and even tried to shut down the computer. When the drive is hung, I can't get the computer to shut down. The drive light is on, like data is being written, but nothing is going on.
I suspected the drive and tried to use Disk Warrior, but Disk Warrior crashed before it finished rebuilding the directory.
The drive works fine on my other computer, a PowerBook G4, 17 inch running OS X 10.4.
I repaired Disk Permissions, but that doesn't help.
I have several other FireWire drives and they have the same sort of problems when connected to my iMac.
Is there some program I can run to check the FireWire ports?

Try this:
First:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Disconnect all FireWire devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
5. Reconnect the FireWire device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each FireWire port if you have more than one.
Zapping the PRAM:
After the startup tone, hold down <commandd><option><r> until 3 additional startup tones are heard, then release the 4 keys.
Or you can try resetting the NVRAM
After the startup tone, hold down <command><option><o><f> until the text screen is visible. When text can be entered, type the following commands, followed by the <return> key (there are no space characters in each command):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all (the Mac will boot up after this command is entered)
Letr me know how you make out,

Trouble with Firewire Hub

I've been using a Belkin 6-port Firewire hub for 6 months with no troubles, but in the last week, I suddenly stopped seeing icons on my desktop when I connect. I assumed the hub had gone bad, so I just bought an IOGear 6-port hub to replace. Still am not getting a connection. I then thought the Firewire 400 port on the MacBook Pro went bad, but when I connect a hard drive directly to that port (without routing it through the hub) it comes right up on my desktop. I am using the hub with the AC adapter to power it.
I'm generally running three hard drives and a deck through the hub. No problems until last week, but suddenly two separate hubs, one right out of the box, don't work. I tried both Disk Utility and the "About this Mac/More Info" routes - neither recognizes the devices attached to the hub.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks for your concern..and yes it was confusing indeed! The hub is in no way connected to our ether-internet configuration here at home. But what has become clear it that I do not have to have both units together at once, the Duet/interface is just for recording and the Liquid Mix for post production.
My Duet simply can not share the firewire port..! Finito

I can't sync with FireWire port and I can't charge with USB port!!

Hi. I've a old model of iPod (M9244Y). After the last update, my iPod does sync with the FireWire port.
I tried with another PCs and Mac but it does work. Finaly I buyed an USB cable and this one syncs but not charge.
I've restored to early versions of iPod Updaters but it does not work again. Can I do somethig to fix it?
Why I can't sync with the FireWire port?
Please help me, I can't live without iPod, I can't live without music!!!

Do you have other Firewire devices? Do they work? Could be the FW ports are not working right.
First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.

G3 Wallstreet, 10.2.8. Trouble with FireWire HDD.

Hi!
I have G3 Wallstreet (233Mhz, 384 MB RAM, 4Gb HDD) witn Jaguar 10.2.8 and PCMCIA-> FireWire adapter.
I try connect my external HDD (external box for 2 HDD with USB, FW400, FW800 + SATA HDD ~600 Gb) to this Mac.
In "About ths mac" I see FireWire adapter, External box and HDD in box.
In "Disk Utils" I see Disk without partition. If I try create partition, "Disk Utils" show progress bar, but nothing happens.
I connect this HDD to Mac mini, create 6 partition (100 Gb/partition) with MacOS Extended FileSystem. And copy some files to first partition - nothing troubles, all work correctly.
After this I connect HDD to WallStreet. In Finder and on the Desktop I see six partititon, but if I can browse this partition - they "unmount" (I can't see this at Finder).
In "Disk Utils" I can see this partition, but if I try Verify partition I see message about B-tree error.
If I create (using Mac mini) partititon bigger than 128Gb (or 256Gb? Sorry, don't remember) Wallstreet's Disk Utils not show they, only HDD.
If I use small (~100Gb) partition in Terminal no error about disk and filesystem. If I use bigger partition I see in Terminal messages about size of partititon.
I want install MacOS 9.2.2 on Wallstreet at evening and test this External HDD.
Have any ideas about my problem?
Thanks!
PS Excuse my poor English

jpl,
I tried new combinations and received new facts:)
I used my PB G4 (MacOS 10.4.11).
Step by step:
I connected FW HD to G4.
I created 3 partitions (198Gb/partitions) with MacOS Extended filesystem (journaled), Apple partition map.
I copied some files to 1st partition. One of this files was *.dmg.
I connected FW HD to G3.
G3 showed all 3 partitions in Finder and on Desktop. I used files from 1st partition - I copied all files to internal HD and successfully mounted *.dmg. But I could copy files to this partition. I could unmount this partitions. OS said "... disk in use".
Disk Utils (G3) showed 3 partitions: ~201Gb, ~201Gb, ~61Gb. It's strange, isn't it?
I connected FW HD to G4 and created 4 partitions (149Gb/partitions) with MacOS Extended filesystem (not journaled), Apple partition map.
I connected FW HD to G3, saw partitions in Finder, but they disappeared in itself. Disk Utils closed in itself with error.
I couldn't unmount partition - "disk in use".
I connected FW HD to G4 an verified partition by Disk Util - "Invalid B-tree node size"
I rebooted G3.
I connected FW HD to G4 and created 1 partitions (149Gb/partitions) with MacOS Extended filesystem (not journaled), Apple partition map.
I connected FW HD to G3, saw partitions in Finder, but couldn't use this partition - "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error code -50)".
I'll use terminal and textedit tomorrow. I'll try all variants and copy/past system logs.
PS: jpl, can you use "Kirill" instead "kirill"? It's my realname:) Tnx!

PLEASE HELP i have trouble with WRT54G port forwarding with linksys

Hello guys, i play a game called populous, and since im on a router i cannot host the game, when i used to have a d-link all i would do is have to set up the port to my ip with the udp. but ever since i have swiched to linksys that doesnt work, the ip on my portforwaring is the same as the one on my computer the port is correct and the udp is set, i also have no fire walls on and it still doesnt make a differance, Someone in the game suggested that there is a local ip i need to get? is that true or is there another setting i need to set up in my router page?
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN <3<3 thanks

Yes that happens if you write replies to your own posts. Many regulars here only answer their "own" topics (i.e. to which they have answered before) and new ones which don't have replies, yet. If you write a reply to your own topic chances are your are not read unless during some random browsing...
Regarding your problem it is impossible to say anything unless you give the exact settings you have on your router. Please post the full settings you have for port forwardings, port triggering and DMZ. If you have UPnP forwarding in your router (I don't think you have) post those settings, too.
Otherwise I suggest this checklist for troubleshooting port forwardings.

Trouble with firewire 800 on Macbook Pro

Ok guys, I've given this thing all I've got and more and i still cannot figure it out. I'm trying to connect a firewire interface for my drum mics to record on my macbook. I first bought a refurbrished interface and it would not sync up to my mac. I figured it was still broken and so i sent it back to the manufacturer. I now have a new interface and I'm dealing with the same problem, I've tried two other cables so i doubt that is the problem, and when I hook up the interface through MIDI it recognizes it so that i know the interface works, but i can't use it until i figure out this whole firewire issue. I've heard that SL has problems with the firewire, but i havent upgraded yet and I'm still running on good old OSX Leopard. As far as I can tell, this seems to be an issure with the actual firewire drive itself and I'm taking it to an apple specialist this afternoon. I'm just trying to get some last minute info on this problem before i accidently replace something that already works.
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Information on the manufacturer's website is sparse. Although it lists 10.4 or above it doesn't actually list 10.5.x or higher and the computers listed are all older models and not intel based. That's the part that makes me wonder.
Everything plugged into the same strip is a good thing for troubleshooting–it means that most likely everything is on the same ground plane and eliminates that possibility from the equation.
If you haven't done so already try resetting the firewire bus per the five steps listed in this document: What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device
If all else fails you could take the interface and MBP in to see an Apple Genius. They may be able to sort it out for you, especially if the problem does end up being on the Mac side.
The fact that the manufacturer hasn't been back in touch is a tad worrisome.

Ongoing troubles with firewire Lacie hard drive

A couple of years ago I purchased a Lacie firewire 160GB hard drive to use as a backup for my aging G3. After encountering problems formatting and mounting the drive I put it aside to concentrate on my work. Recently I powered up and connected to my G3, and the drive mounnted on my desktop. I proceeded to copy files over [my internal 9 GB drive was nearly full]. Just as I finished the Firewire drive crashed and I may have lost several years of work unless I can retireve the data and maybe replace the drive. Maybe the drive would function correctly if used with a G4 or G5 but for the moment I use what I have.
Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem and how I might repair the drive?

I agree with what Bill W says
if the drive is acting flakey, its hard to say whether it is the drive or the bridgeboard in the enclosure
first thing to do is to update the firmware on the bridgeboard in the enclosure - you can find firmware tools here: FireWire firmware/tools
if that doesnt work, then you should take the drive and place it in a new enclosure such as the following: FireWire Enclosures
the problem is, in either case, if the problem is the drive itself, then before doing anything is to run a data recovery app on the drive to get any data you need to recover/save - the most popular is Prosoft Engineerings Data Rescue

Why would the Firewire Port and/or External DVD-RW suddenly not work?

Hi, it's me again. I swear, I must be destined to just use Windows machines...
Anyways, I have a used/refurbished iBook G3 500MHz 320MB RAM Dual USB (1 Firewire)laptop running OS 10.2.8 that I bought a few months ago. I went and purchased an external Firewire/USB 2.0 DVD-RW drive as I only had a CD-ROM drive on my machine and I wanted the option to burn CD's or watch/read data from DVD's (I know that with my slow processor writing DVD's -other than data- would be a stretch and have other machines to do that with anyways so it wasn't a concern really). I received it and installed it, also installed the free version of Toast that came with it, and the drive worked fine. I have not needed to use the drive since then and have not used the laptop much at all since then really, but I do need to say that I did end up adding a new user account, though I can't remember if I changed the original Admin account and then still have the one I created myself when I first started the laptop after I bought it (had a fresh install of Jaguar on it, but I have no disk to re-install with if needed) or if I created a separate (new) account and ended up deleting the Original Admin accout (I know in Windows, you cannot delete the original Admin account but I do not know if that is the same for OSX or not). I did this as I wanted a master Admin account that I just wouldn't really use and then wanted the other as my main account (and use it to connect to my home windows network) and for some reason it would not let me put a check in the box to allow that account to do so (from either Apple or my user accounts) and so I know that my main user account now is set up to allow it (was it the old Apple user account or a new one, I can't remember- sorry).
Ok, so that is the back story to my problem, which happens to be this:
I just bought a new chip of RAM (512MB to make it a machine with 576MB RAM total) and as I had been looking at getting OSX Tiger (but didn't want to do it without the extra ram and had been considering Panther instead as well), I thought it was necessary if I wanted to not bog down my machine. I bought the Install Disks on DVD for Panther, as well as an upgrade disk (DVD again) for Tiger, therefore letting me use the External Firewire DVD-RW to install Panther, and if I liked I could go ahead and upgrade to Tiger (and if I didn't like it too much, or it slowed things down too much etc, then I could always go back to panther and have both available for future options). The extra RAM coming in handy here definitely.
So I was going to install the RAM today, and decided to go ahead and test out the External DVD to make sure it could boot from it (before making any changes to my system) and then go and install the RAM, and after that, install Panther to start... But I plugged all the cords and cables in, used my laptop with AC power even, and I could not get the External to show up at all... (kinda like the very current post right below mine but for the G4- it worked before, but now the firewire External just does not show up).
I only have USB 1.1 on this laptop obviously, and I don't even know if you could do a boot from an external with USB 2.0 if my laptop had it (the DVD player does). I was recommended to boot with an external firewire DVD or firewire to another machine with DVD capabilities to do the install. So my problem right now is getting slightly bigger, as of course, I can't seem to momentarily find the stuff that came with the External (spare USB cable to check and see if the laptop will recognize it at least with that and to show it is the firewire that is not working properly, or the disk that I used to install it -might have been only used to install Toast free version if it didn't need any drivers, but I don't know where that or the instructions for installation sheet currently is -- I am looking for it, but I have switched bedrooms just last week and I also seem to be missing a few other Windows laptop disks as well so there is a good chance that they are all together, I just need to figure out where, heh.)
I am waiting currently before installing the memory, though if I don't get the External working tonight, I may go ahead and do it first as at least I will have more memory on my laptop then, until I can get other stuff functioning and be able to do the Panther install.
But my main question is, is there something that would cause an installed external to suddenly not show up in OSX? Since I hadn't used it since that one day, and it was unplugged from the laptop itself, would that end up doing it, or more likely, the changing of the user accounts (though I have been trying to test it with different types of media and through both of my user account (which are both "admin" ones), though I do still have one of those being an account that was on there when the External DVD was first installed, so it really shouldn't have done this at all (one would think). So how big of a chance is it that the firewire has somehow gone dead and this is the main culprit to my wasting the past 4 hours on this???
I am currently scavenging around for an extra USB cable to try and test the External that way and will post the results when I can... I love the look and idea of macs, now I have a mac and want to upgrade it even, but why is it that whenever I attempt to use it after having not used it for a bit (and try to make the iBook feel better by using it more as I am sure it feels sad and alone sitting on the shelf while my Windows Laptop gets more attention), or try to fix it when it can be made better (and therefore used more often), the mac (all macs really), just seem to get all pissy and cause problems and make me spend hours upon hours trying to get things to work again??? You have to admit it, I am "mac cursed"... sigh I can program in 4 or 5 computer languages and am very advanced at many tech things (the ones I am not as good at I am still usually Average or Medium skilled) so it makes me wonder why I have so many tech problems with Macs when they are supposed to be the "easy" OS to use...

Actually, I think I have it all working now. After going back to the Plextor Website, I found out that the switch between the USB and 1394 ports only gets activated (switched over to the other) with you turn the device off first, move the switch and then turn it back on. I was sure that I had done this with the ibook, but maybe not as when I went back and did it with first the USB and then the Firewire cables, it did work. I definitely knew that I had not done this with the Windows laptop, the reason it would not have the USB work for me on it.
but back to the iBook, I was confused as it was only showing up as a DVD-ROM (which I guess is what they do until you actually open up the burning software to then be able to burn to it), and it also had the wrong Model #, which after more research, showed that it was the Internal DVD drive model version (PX-708A) compared to the actual model version (PX-708UF) which is the USB/Firewire (External) model. The firmware was really out of date as well (from June 2004 I think, v1.06) and they had v1.12 from Spet/Oct 2006 available so I went to get that (which was a hassle). They had nice easy Windows self extractor/installer packs, and then the BIN files for use for all systems (Sun OS/ Mac OSX/ Mac OS/ Linux etc as well as usable for Windows), and those needed a special Firmware Updater Application which was OS specific. Only I had the hardest time trying to get the OSX one as it would send me to a FTP site and not give me any clues as to which file(s) I needed to get and the Mac OS version was just for older 9.2 or below versions and didn't want to install under the OS Classic mode.
I ended up using my windows computer which made it easier to view with the FTP stuff as I have FireFTP in Firefox, and downloaded the files I thought I needed (to test out), and then realized my silliness, and just downloaded (as well) the Windows Auto Extractor/Installer as the Firmware is the same for all OS's, just the way to install/update it was different... So I hooked the DVD drive to my PC and updated the firmware, checked it out on here before moving it back to the ibook, where I checked that it still worked and had the new update version showing, which it did, and now I have my fully working and newly updated drive ready for the OSX installations... I had attempted to update my Jaguar system as well while online, but it had no new updates available (I guess those were all mostly Tiger updates that were just recently released).
I am now off to install my additional RAM, and after checking that it all shows up correctly, I will go ahead and do the Panther Install (and test it out and see if I like it or not).
For anyone that currently uses Panther on any mac, are there still any major problems I should know about before hand, or know about things that they have mostly fixed (like the issues with Firewire ports and External Drives that they had around the time Panther was first released for example)???
Thanks to all that helped... I now know to attempt an "eject" of any external HD (which I do have one that I will setup to use after I get Panther on the ibook) or CD/DVD drive instead of just unplugging the USB/Firewire cable.

Faulty firewire port on DV7-3080ca: can't capture video

I have a Pavilion DV7-3080ca laptop, and I cannot properly capture video from my (Canon HV20) video camera, which I connect to the laptop's firewire (1394) port. Regular video can be captured but not without many dropped frames, and HD Video cannot be captured at all. When I connect the camera to the firewire port, the camera says "HDMI Out" on the camera screen, instead of "DV Out" as it should say, so there seems to also be a recognition problem.
Searching on the Internet, I've learned that the problem is likely the Ricoh chipset that this firewire port uses, which is apparently more problematic than the preferred Texas Instruments (TI) chipset that some other laptops use for their firewire port.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? Is it something that HP could fix with a future BIOS update? I was hoping that it may have been corrected in the last BIOS, but I just flashed my DV7 BIOS with the latest version from the HP web site (F.13), and it didn't help. I've also updated the graphics driver and the Intel chipset drivers; that didn't fix the problem either.
My other alternative, if there is no fix, is to purchase an Expresscard with firewire ports that uses the TI chipset. Does anyone know if that would solve my problem? I don't want to spend the extra $50 if it won't.
Some people speculate that the problem with the DV7 firewire ports is also partly because it shares IRQ16 with several other functions, in which case the Expresscard solution won't work, because I think it's on IRQ16 too.
Any tips would be most appreciated. I've tried contacting HP via Help chat and email, but neither response even acknowledged that the firewire port's Ricoh chipset is faulty, even though that seems to be common knowledge on the web.

Has anyone tried to capture video with a firewire Expresscard rather than with the faulty Ricoh-chipset-based firewire port that's built in (but faulty) on the DV7 laptop?
It's my last hope, but I'm not optimistic. Some say it won't help because it shares IRQ16 with lots of other functions. Don't really want to spend another $50 to work around a firewire port that should work properly in the first place, but I really need to be able to capture DV footage with this laptop.
Have tried to contact someone at HP who's familiar with this problem, but no luck.

Macbook pro 13" i7 and trouble with iphoto and finder

Hi, I've just bought last week the new macbook pro 13" i7.
I've just replaced the HDD for an SSD Intel 510 Series 120Go and it works very well !!!
But since yesterday when I've plugged my EOS 450D in order to transfer some photos... The problem is that I've a bug with iphoto: when I want to empty the trash (from iphoto), it doesn't work, photos are again in the trash, or when I look some picture it bugs !!!
At this moment iphoto doesn't run correctly, you know like when the "mouse" is searching all the time !!! Just after the finder and another soft bug... but not all the the time.
This trouble appears too in the menu: "files" appears with less word or "photos" or "event"...
So I've re install OSX since Time machine but nothing.
I've re install the original HDD but always the same !!!
I've empty the RAM with "cmd+alt+P+R" but always the same...
I've re install OSX with CD but nothing.
Problem with graphic card ? with RAM ? Motherboard ?
I don't think that it is th SSD because I've the same problrm with the original HDD.
I don't understand the macbook is new.
I need some help please.
Thanks in advance.

Installing a Firewire port into a G3 IMAC

A G3 CRT IMAC with OS9.2 was donatd to our little cable TV station.
It has USB ports, but no Firewire ports. However there seems to be some sort of access expansion hatch.
Question: Is it possible to install a Firewire port on a G3 IMAC of this vintage?
We do community TV and would like to use it as a simple off-line editing computer.
Thanks,
Dave Gordon
Olympia, WA

If this is a tray-loading iMac, you might still be able to find one of Sonnet's Harmoni processor upgrades which also includes a Firewire port. But it's probably not worth the money unless you could find one really cheap. Newer iMacs with Firewire ports show up on eBay regularly for under $100.00, and eMacs frequently appear well under $300.00.

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?

How How can i install Mountain Lion with faulty firewire ports??

Basically the firewire ports are fried on my MBP 3.1 (2007). My mac used to take hang on blue screen and take 10 mins to boot but I solved this problem by installing an ssd and deleting the following kext file...
/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext
My MBP now boots in under 20 seconds so if anybody is having the same issue then there is the resolotion..
Anyway these are the steps I have taken but failed to properly install ML.
Dowloaded Mountain Lion at least 3 times from the App store to make sure the download wasn't corrupted.
I even tried making a Lion Bootdisk so I can install Mountain Lion on a USB drive (Install ESD.dmg).
I have even tried installing Lion first thinking I would take it one version at a time but gets stuck on boot screen too.
I even changed my hard drive to a new blank SSD drive to see any difference.
Each time I install Mountain Lion or Lion, everything is good until the installer has to restart the laptop.
Laptop gets stuck at the grey boot screen with the Apple logo and the loading circle. Nothing ever happens after.
I always had to use/boot to the Snow Leopard CD so I can restart the laptop back to the Snow Leopard OS and then update to 10.6.8.
I am guessing it is the ML dmg reinstalling the above file ( /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext ) which is leading to the same issue because of the faulty firewire ports.
Is there anyway I can resolve this because its doing my head in and Snow Leopard is old and doesnt support newer software that I would like to use.
Any help would be kindly appreciated. Thanks

Just some thoughts.
I presume you already partitioned the new SSD drive as GUID?
Is there anything on the new drive at all yet, or anything that isn't already backed up? If not, you could try erasing the drive and then installing OS X from the bootable flash drive installer you made.
Ive tried that and yes it is GUID. Im going to get grey hairs soon and Im not even 30 lol .... yet
I am not going to buy a new logic board as its just not logical (sorry for the pun) I got the mac for free and I want to spend as little money as possible. Im running out of ideas though
