10.4.7 problems: USB, Firewire, Bluetooth and mounting images

After installing the 10.4.7 update and getting the checksum error:
• USB devices wouldn't mount (though I could see them in System Profiler)
• Firewire devices wouldn't mount (though I could see them in System Profiler)
• Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse weren't recognised and couldn't re-pair them
• Unable to mount any disk images
I've been able to fix the USB and Firmware mounting problems by zapping the open firmware (see this post)
I've also zapped PRAM and ran disk utility from installer disk, but no success - the Bluetooth and disk image problems remain.
When I try to mount a disk image (say, the 10.4.7 combo update so I can do another install) Console reports:
load_hdi: timed out waiting for driver to load
2006-07-04 23:30:53.209 diskimages-helper[227] ERROR: unable to load disk image driver - 0xE00002C0/-536870208 - Device not configured.
Any help on the Bluetooth and disk image problems much appreciated!

I have a MBP retina and I am having problem when my bluetooth and wifi are both active. My wifi is totally unusable when I am connected to via bluetooth speaker.

I have a MBP retina and I am having problem when my bluetooth and wifi are both active. My wifi is totally unusable when I am connected to via bluetooth speaker.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

Time Machine Restore Problems: USB --- Firewire

I've got a MacBook running OS X 10.5.6, 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 112 GB internal HD, 300 GB External Firewire HD, and a Burly enclosure w/ two 750 GB SATAII Barracuda drives in a RAID I config hooked up via USB. I have Time Machine set to backup the internal drive and 300 GB external firewire drive to the Burly RAID.
I'm having trouble restoring files located on the external firewire drive with Time Machine - it returns the following error:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "File.ext" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I have successfully restored files to the internal hard drive, so this seems to be associated with restores to the firewire HD.

Continuing to trouble shoot this problem, I ran disk utility on both the Burly RAID and external firewire drives. The Burly RAID passed verification, but the external firewire drive didn't. The repair operation returned the following error:
First Aid Failed. Disk Utility stopped verifying "EcoCase300GB" because the following error was encountered: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
What next? The detailed output from Disk Utility is below.

Problem connecting Firewire device and external HD at the same time

Hi. I'm attempting to record digital audio through a Presonus Firepod A/D interface via a Firewire 400 to 800 cable connected to one of the Firewire 800 ports on a mid-2010 Mac Pro running Snow Leopard.
The problem is that if I have an external HD connected to one of the other Firewire 800 ports on the computer and powered on at the same time, the connection to the Presonus Firewire device is not recognized by the Mac Pro. Not only that, performance of the Mac Pro is affected adversely and System Profiler is unable to list any Firewire devices. If I turn the external HD off, the Presonus device is recognized and listed in System Profiler and the machine runs fine. I'm able to connect two external hard drives via separate Firewire 800 ports on the Mac Pro and both drives mount w/ no problem. It's only when I try to connect one of the external HDs and the Presonus audio device at the same time that the problem occurs.
I used this same arrangement on a PowerMac G5 running Tiger w/ no problems whatsoever. If the 400 to 800 cable is bad, I would think it wouldn't work at all, but it does when only the Presonus Firepod is connected and powered on. Any ideas?

Have done more research and apparently this is not an uncommon problem: overloading the Firewire bus when connecting an audio device along with an additional device like an external hard drive. As I understand it now, audio signal is a bandwidth hog and the solution is to get a Firewire PCIe card which will have its own independent Firewire bus and which I'll use exclusively for my audio device.

Big problems with Firewire iPod and camcorder - please help!

Hi all,
I don't know where else to turn with this problem. I think I've damaged my Firewire kit.
I have an iPod 4G 20GB and a Canon MV901 MiniDV Camcorder. I used them both over Firewire with my Pismo without difficulty, but I then tried video editing on my Windows machine with a firewire PCI card. Scrabbling around the back of my computer, I think I somehow managed to get the firewire cable to the camcorder in the socket upside down, reversing the power and data conncectors. Nothing really happened, but the camcorder stopped showing up. I tried it a good few times, then tried my iPod. By some bizarre coincidence, I think I managed to plug the iPod in the same way. Now, my iPod doesn't work on either the Windows machine or the Pismo over firewire, but does over USB2.0 on my Windows machine.
I measured the power going through the Firewire power pins as around 13.5 volts on my Pismo and the card, but the card also has an auxiliary power connector. This was disconnected when I tested it, but was connected when the iPod and camcorder were.
The thing I would like to know is whether a voltage spike of this size could fry the firewire controllers on both devices. The iPod's diagnostic mode detects that firewire is connected, but will not show up. Strangely, it still charges over firewire from either machine. Have I permanately damaged the firewire controllers?
Thanks in advance,
Rob Johnson

Rob,
If you mistakenly inserted the FireWire connector twisted 180 degrees, the power lines can be directly connected to the data lines and can result in a fried PHY (connects the port to the FireWire bridge) or the FireWire bridge itself.
You can take a look at the voltage specs for FireWire ports and see that your voltage readings are well withing specs:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58207
I am not sure where you go from here. You could try a known-good FireWire device connected to your Pismo and see if it works. If not, the data-side of the FW port may have failed. I don't know about testing the iPod or camcorder.
A possible cheap fix for the Pismo FireWire is a FireWire PC card; if running 10.x, it will just be a plug & play affair. However, unlike built-in FireWire ports, FireWire PC cards supply very little bus power. Your camcorder will work since it has it owns power supply (assuming there is no hardware failure) and but am unsure about the iPod. The iPod will not charge, of course, but it may still work in data transfers. There are a few FireWire PC cards that also have their own power supply.

Usb, firewire, bluetooth all do not work

I downloaded the most recent update for my OS X tiger software, and ever since the download my bluetooth mouse won't pair with the computer, I can't use my usb jump drive, my ipod is not recognized, and I can't download .dmg files because after they are done it gets stuck at "preparing disk image." Any ideas as to what the problem is or what I can do? Everything worked fine before this update.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
If you used the software update function, sometimes the updates just don't do everything they are supposed to. You didn't say what release of Tiger you upgraded to, however assuming it's the latest, if you download the combo update and apply that, it may set things back to working order. It's located here.
Before downloading that, I would reset the power management unit (PMU) following these directions.

Older ACD USB/Firewire ports and a Thunderbolt MBA.

I have an older Apple Cinema Display (20) and a Thunderbolt MBA. Can I use the Firewire ports on the ACD if I use a Thunderbolt to DVI adapter?
Specifically, I have an older iSight external camera (Firewire based) that I would like to use with the ACD whilst the MBA is in clamshell mode. With the Firewire ports on the ACD, I'm intrigued by how I might access them with the MBA.
Is this possible?
TIA,
eznet

Same here. Since a few weeks, my MacPro ejects USB HDD's as soon as I write or read data on it.
(no I haven't installed something new at this time and all HUB's and HDD's have their own power supply, and yes they have been exchanged, so its not a broken cable or so !!!!!!!!)
After a reset of the NVRAM and PRAM its better for an hour or so, then starts to eject again. I've seen a lot of communities with exact the same question, but never a solution for it. There is also nothing in the support tab of apple.
Hope someone here can help me out or due to the fact that this is a AplleSupportCommunity, a Apple-Employee may starts to do his job and help this huge amount (I guess there are hundrets or tousand) of mac-user with exact the same problem....
btw: don't agree with MACATTACK2010 that this is a hardware problem, cause there are a lot of people in the
net that ask the same question with brandnew Hardware. I think it's an OS or an Update Bug, or may both.

USB error, bluetooth and sleep

Hi
I am having problems on my Macbook Pro C2D with 10.5.4 and the latest security update. It is intermittent and involves immediate re awake from sleep, bluetooth becoming unavailable and log messages about USB. I have tried PRAM and SMC resets, safe boot, repair permissions, hardware check etc. and I have searched Apple support and googled the web for no result. Can anyone shed any light on this?

nice... i am having usb problems also and it is all because of adding the bluetooth adapter!!!
i wanted it for the keyboard... but it knocks out other devices. i have a wired mouse (was thinking of getting a wireless until today) and it and the bluetooth were the only things showing in the system profiler yet i had an eyetv 250 plus plugged in?!?! it would come back after restarting but then out of no where it drops away?!?!
i finally unplugged the bluetooth adapter and everything started working again?!?!?! stinks... i don't know if adding a pci usb card will help or not?!?! i thought if i could seperate the bluetooth from the system's usb hub it might stop the problems... will have to wait and see! i got too many other upgrades pending to worry about this thing... i am just going to return it.

HP ENVY 6t has many issues with USB headphone, Bluetooth and more serious issue

HP ENVY 6t doesn't work with USB headphone, unfortunately. could u let me know how to fix it?
Bluetooth mouse has been working for a day, it suddenly stopped working. Having checked the PC bluetooth connection, which said "Working properly". Could you let me know how to re-connect, or re-work?
"Not complete shut-down" blue screen issue right after receiving the HP PC when I closed display to be in sleep mode.
I see the "Safe mode" "...." or "Normal mode" screen always.
The HP PC is not stable UNFORTUNATELY.
Even if just brand new HP PC, there seems to be many issues.

I would recommend using this document for your mouse: http://goo.gl/XDRRy
And using this document to troubleshoot your headphones issue: http://goo.gl/hV9fu
Most of the time with USB headphones, you have to download the driver from the manufacturer before they will work properly.

Problem pairing with bluetooth and Mi Band Device.

Hi, I have problem pairing my Iphone 5 to a my Mi Band device. After turning on my Bluetooth in the setting page, my iPhone just keep on goes into searching mode and does not detach anything. Please help. thanks

The hardware certification requirements for 2.2 are pretty strict and the Ziio doesn't meet them, but they're opened up for 2.3. If the Ziio gets the android market, it will have to be running 2.3.
Will the Ziio be upgraded to run on 2.3? It's possible, but up to Creative. That said, my hope is that most compatibility issues are addressed with 2.2. The only things I missed were Skype and Flash, and that should be fixed with 2.2.
And now that I can update my Rhapsody software, kindle app, and shop for a few games on the Amazon market, 2.3 isn't that big of a deal for me.

Problems with animated masks and external images

I have an instance of a movieClip on the stage and I load an external JPG into the movieClip. The movieClip is masked by a layer that begins animating on a certain frame. As soon as I reach that frame my externally loaded JPG disappears. The movieClip doesn't mind being masked, but as soon as the mask animates the external image goes away. The mask animation is shapes drawn frame by frame.
It is interesting to note that if I create a Class and load the JPG into the movieClip (or do this in a constructor) I do not experience this problem - it is when the JPGs are loaded into an instance of the movieClip that lives on the stage that I encounter this. Unfortunately that is not an option in my project (since I have to get the path for the JPG from an xml file I am loading).
Could someone please help me with this?

that's a flash bug.

IDVD Burning Problem...Pixels and Vibrating Image!!!!!

I have a 104 minute project that I'm burning in iDVD (exported from FCP Pro). Every time I play it back after burning, I notice the same scene (about midway through the project) is pixelated and the picture "vibrates" like crazy. I've already re-burned it about 5 different times, and the same thing happens with each disc.
Then, I've isolated the problem by only burning that particular scene onto a disc...no pixels, no "vibrating".
I then went back and re-burned the entire film again...same pixels, same problem in the same scene. What's going on?
I'm using Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R discs...I've set the burning speed to Professional Quality and the burn speed to 8x...I've chosen a 6.0 them (Road Trip)...and, Im burning directly to the DVD-R disc.
Why am I getting this strange problem? Please help!!!!

Well, you're using highly regarded DVD-Rs. I would create a disk image and burn it at 4X or slower. You can test the disk image to see if the problems exist before burning.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Problem with warp tool and bitmap images

While you apply warp tool to a bitmap image, the image becoming corrupted on each touch. Please check screen shot...

OK. I start to understand what you're doing there.
It's simply that Illustrator is not a bitmap editor. It's not optimized for editing this kind of artwork.
What you can do is apply an envelope and then use the warp tool on the envelope.
Also: edit the envelope options. You can get higher image quality with that.
