Cannot use Firewire Card on 10.2.8 OSX Wallstreet G3

I recently upgraded my G3 Wallstreet to 10.2.8. It currently has a minimal set of applications and I added Firefox which seems to run fine. Internet connectivity is great!
I bought and Adaptec AFW-1430A Firewire for Notebooks PCMCIA card. It came with a CD which just has OS 9 installer and extensions.
The card is recognized by the PB but the menubar icon drop down shows it as 'Unknown Vendor' (grayed out) and 'Firewire Controller' grayed out. The only option is 'Eject Card', which works fine.
I contacted their tech support which told me that the drivers for the card should be in OSX.
How can I figure that out?
Also, someone they asked me what my boot ROM is. System profiler doesn't show a boot room ID.

footie,
I have a cheap FireWire card and it is not be recognized by the Wallstreet in 9.x unless the card is present and I restart. At this point, my FireWire HD is hot-swappable; I can mount/unmount it as long as the FireWire card is not removed...then I have to restart to get the card mounted.
The same card has no issues in 10.x, meaning the FireWire PC card itself is hot-swappable. However, perform a restart to cover all bases.
If you are working in OSX and the HD is not mounting...
- Do you have the Finder Preferences set so HDs appear on the desktop? If not, the FW HD should still appear in a Finder window.
- Is this a known-good HD?
- Are you using the correct and known-good FireWire cable?
- With the FW HD connected, open your System Profiler and see if the HD is reported.
- Launch your Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. Does the HD appear in the left column?
- If you have installed the extensions for FireWire in 9.x, see if the FW HD will mount. These are the three necessary extensions:
FireWire Enabler
FireWire Support
FireWire CardBus Enabler
Once they are installed and you have restarted, check your Extensions Manager to make sure they are enabled (they should be default).

    <Edited By Host>

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to change the title of your post as it appears to include the card number.
    You've tried logging out and back into your account to see if the amount from it has been added to your account ? If it isn't then was the card complete when you bought it i.e. the part that you scratch off to uncover the code was still on the card ? If it was, and you've double-checked that you are entering the correct code, then try contacting iTunes Support (they might want images of the card and the receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Cannot use thunderbolt card reader

    I purchases the authentic authorized and over priced official Apple thunderbolt sd card reader.   I am using it on IPad Air running IOS 8.1
    I plug it in and get Cannot use Device Message  USB Storage Devise Not supported
    The sd card is FAT formated and has a DCIM directory which I read was required to make the card readable
    (Although the same cards were readable on a IPAD 2 with the older non thunderbolt connector
    Do I have to also but the SD card from apple to make it work??

    hi. you'ne not talking about thunderbolt (Macs) but lighting connector (i know, it gets quite confusing)
    "Do I have to also but the SD card from apple to make it work??" : Apple doesn't make SD cards, so no.
    Contact Apple Support, these SD readers often have problems

  • Cannot use credit card message

    I Keep getting a message that says "cannot use this credit card". There is nothing wrong with my visa card. Why do I get this message?

    It is a 'proper' credit card (and it's not a debit card) that you are trying to use, not a pre-paid card ?
    For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If your card does match then you could try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's not being accepted : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    Or do you have another card that you could try ?

  • Cannot use master card...

    Hi there,
    I just wanted to use master card for online payment but I failed to go through. Because it says 'we do not allow you to purchase with a card that is already use by another skype account', so how could I remove my card from other account that I do not want to use anymore.
    Please help me out as I need badly to purchase credit.
    Thankx,
    Titu.

    Apple may have different restrictions that the other selling network does not apply.
    If you have no other card to try, contact support using these links:

  • Cannot use the card reader on my Equium A100

    I've put my SD HC card into the reader, and ensured it's clicked in properly.
    But nothing is happening. I recently reformatted my hard drive.
    Can you please tell me which driver I need?
    I've seen these on the toshiba downloads page and think they might be of help?
    SD memory format, SD secure module, and also SD utilities.
    I hope someone can help me, as I really need to get the info of this card!
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I assume you use Win XP.
    The Flash Media Driver from Texas Instruments is the driver for card reader controller.
    Download it and install it!
    PS: not all cards are supported and compatible so if an card will not work in the card reader then sometimes this doesnt mean that an card reader driver has not been installed
    Anyway, in device manager the card reader should be recognized properly!

  • Cannot use any cards with iTunes

    I recently got a new debit card from my bank so iTunes asked me to update my card info. Problem is that none of my cards work. My new card is a Visa Debit card whereas my old one was a maestro card and it used to work fine. I also tried my Mastercard and that didn't work either.
    What am I supposed to do? I can't even download free apps.

    I've got exactly the same problem - Nat West have changed my latest card from Maestro to Visa Debit, but there isn't an option to chose this in iTunes, and it doesn't accept my number if I click Maestro.
    I've just asked the bank, and they were really surprised iTunes hasn't been updated - apparently Maestro is being phased out because it's not recognised overseas.
    I don't want to use my credit card, because I try to limit it's use - so now I can't download anything! And what happens when my mobileme account comes up for renewal?!
    I've emailed Apple, so I'll let you know what they reply...

  • Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

    I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
    None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).

    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

  • Cannot use Chess with this version of Mac OSX...?

    When I first installed Leopard, Chess (the Apple app) worked fine. Now, after updating to 10.5.1 I get a message saying I can't use it with this version of OSX when I try to open it. Any idea why? Can I get Chess back? Is it just me?

    Andrew Butterfield wrote:
    Obviously some little glitch, but now it's working fine. Just wish I could beat it occasionally. Still, hope lies eternal...
    It is likely that in the Dock, you had a pointer to the pre-Leopard version of Chess left over from an upgrade or archive & install, so that version was trying to launch from the Dock. "Get Info" tells me that Leopard's Chess is version 2.3 & it even has a checkbox for "Open in 32 bit mode" -- something I haven't seen before.
    If you have any other similar Dock-related glitches, use the "Show in Finder" Dock menu option to find the app & see if it looks like a Tiger "leftover."
