Does update 10.6.2 fix firewire HD issue?
Hi
I buy recently a firewire400 hard disk and it don't work with snow leopard (appear in finder but freeze when copying file, can't inizialize, etc...)
The drive works normally on Leopard 10.5.8.
So someone can tell me if with the 1o.6.2 update of snow leopard apple fix the problem of firewire?
my machine is a macBook Pro 15" santa rosa (late 2007) with 4gb ram
thank you and sorry for my bad english
I am experiencing similar problems and figured I would set the record strait here. I have two identical 2.8 GHz iMacs running the latest OS 10.6.2. One at home one at work. I extensively use both usb and firewire hard drives for data backup. Just bought a G-Raid Mini 1TB external. When I first plugged it into my Mac at work using the firewire 800 cable it mounted perfectly. I copied nearly 250 GB of data from that computer to it. Went home and accessed that data using the same firewire 800 connection and cable. Next time I came into work I went to mount the drive using the same cable and nothing would mount. Drive appeared to be working but nothing showed up on the desktop and disk utility shows no external drive. I switched to a usb cable and the drive mounted flawlessly. So I thought the cable was bad. But her is the kicker I mounted another drive using the same firewire 800 cable so the cable is not bad. The drive mounts perfectly at home via firewire and usb. Why a drive would only mount on some computers via firewire 800 and thumb it's nose at others I don't know but to me this sounds like a software glitch not a hardware or cable issue. I have had this same thing happen to me a while back with a friends hard drive from a different manufacturer but thought nothing of it because it wasn't my drive.

when is the next ios update and will it fix/address the issue with photos not being shown in chronological order?
All of us here are users just like you. We have no inside info of when Apple products or operating system updates/upgrades will be released. The next iOS may not even change the issue you have.

FIX: FireWire communication issue solved - What worked for me
After installing the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, I found that my FireWire devices (not just my iPod) no longer worked. After much messing about with all the suggestions I found online (none of which worked) I've managed to sort out the FireWire communication issues I had.
you can read about the exact issues I had here:
http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35034
and here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1562072
Unfortunately those looking for a quick fix will be disappointed, I had to:
a) Send my iPod Mini back to Apple, which was promptly replaced
b) Totally re-install Windows (including drive format)
c) Borrow the install CD that came with my friends iPod, which had a later version of iPod Updater (2005-10-12) than the one I had on my install CD, but earlier than the dreaded 2006-01-10
If anyone needs this updater (as it's impossible to find an earlier one on Apple's website) drop me your email in here and I'll send you the web address to download it. This is basically a ZIP of the original CD, totally virus free (for those that are worried) and appears to work fine.
If Apple have an issue with this, then why don't you fix the link on your site to this updater; this is simply my response to the complete lack of response from Apple on this matter.
A quick note about the: 'connection rate=S100 ERROR'.
If you discover you have this error when you test your iPod in diagnostic mode; find out how to do this here:
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
Then it appears there is nothing you can do to fix this other than sending it back to Apple. No amount of restoring will solve it.
I hope this helps someone out there! I've yet to fix the issue with my LaCie drive (basically it needs sending back) which if anything proves that whatever screwed my system did something to the hardware on a low level, it wasn't a Windows software issue, because after re-installing it, I download SP2 and ALL the latest hotfixes, if that was the cause, it would have done it again.
This leaves one culprit - the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, as this was the only software I installed at the time both of my FireWire devices went down, avoid it like the plaque.

Will there be another softerware update SOON to fix the syncing issue iOS 6.14 caused?
Will Apple offer another update SOON that will FIX the syncing issues?
I have tried EVERYTHING: backups, restarting phone, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, etc. . NOTHING WORKS
I look forward to having my phone sync to my computer so I can save all my information on my external hard drive.
This issue has been occurring ever since I downloaded and updated the iOS 6.14 software.
Everyone is having this same issue, if anyone knows a way to "fix" it please let me know, if not. . . APPLE I need you to begin working on a solution. Thanks!nbrown wrote:

False.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are all Apple users, just like you.

My ipad mini is not being recognized by the new iTunes update that just came out about a week ago it worked fine till the update I have windows 8.1 does anyone know how to fix this problem and I just bought my ipad mini
I found this is another thread - same issue.
Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?
Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.
