Firewire compatibility issue? where do I start to get a fix?

I am problems with a Firewire device, and I just cant seem to find any help or solution to this
It is a Sony Receiver (STR-LSA1), which is a separates HIFi system with all interconnects being Firewire.
Under Windows, I plugged it in and it just worked with no no extra software. There was software available if you wanted more control of the AMP/Radio/CD/MD, but I never used this. I just used the basic Firewire input, that allowed me to play PC audio from the amp, and conversely record audio from the amp onto the PC.
Initially all went well when I plugged the amp into the Mac.
Mac came up on the amp as a new input channel, and the Sony and all components appeared on the system profiler, under Firewire.
But that is as far as it goes. It does not appear in the System Preferences, so cant select it as audio input/output device.
I have tried various AV forums with no luck, plus some other Mac forums. There is no software available from Sony. They only did Windows software, and discontinued that around Win 2k.
Any one got any ideas on how i can get the audio in/out to work with the Sony and the Mac via Firewire?
Thanks
Neil

Well If you check out the first three hits on that google link....check out the name of the original poster.....npaisnel....thats me
I have done countless searches, posts etc, in the hope that one day something may turn up
I eventually found Version 2 software for Windows, but never actually used it as it did not add any functionality to the basic 'as is ' support for it under Windows with no extra.
The only option the local Apple reseller could offer me was if I bring the amp in they would see if they could get it to work.

FireWire Compatibility Issue

I have a '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz with 1.25 GBs of RAM with Super Drive running 10.5.5 that I'm backing up to a OWC Neptune using Time Machine. It uses a Oxford 911+ chipset. My previous external hard drive used a Oxford 911 chipset.
Recently I've started getting Time Machine error messages related to some sort of chipset related FireWire compatibility issue. My OWC Neptune's firmware is up to date too. What could possibly be causing this to happen?

I already tried zapping the PRAM due to my ethernet not working on my '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz & it didn't fix my FireWire issues either. I'm also still getting the "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup directory." error.

Subversion with Apache issues - where is it/can I get mod_dav_svn?

Hi,
I have both the default Apache and MAMP installed. I have succesfully installed subversion and can use svnserve and the command line. I am trying to configure apache, but...
There is no moddavsvn in /Apache2/modules and being a 'little knowledge is a dangerous thing' level BSD user, am not making much progress.
How do I get the module? And am I going to have to recompile Apache? If I do, is there anyone brave enough to coach me through it?
Many thanks.
Simon.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

HI All,
This isn't a solution per se, but in order to overcome the .htaccess rewrite calls limitations I had to:
1. Rebuild Apache (up to 2.2.16) and explicitly specifying a rebuild with enable-rewrite
2. Rebuild PHP in order to get a native module going.
This solution works, I event went as far as just carrying over the exact same config files over to the new Apache install. There seems to be a block in the native Apache binary build that prevents usage of .htaccess (security reasons I presume?).
The catch, however, is you will get pid locks over the two installs unless you explicit a separate lock file and you won't be able to call up the new Apache install from the preference panel in OS X fashion - need to be a bit patient with the terminal is all.
For the apache install, you have to make sure you set a prefix location that suits you (and remember the put that prefix then over for the module load in your config as it won't be able to access your old .so modules):
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-rewrite
Also note, that when recompiling php with mysql support, a few config options need to be set to disable the cgi build options (not sure why, but it does the trick). The command for the PHP rebuild is as follows:
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --disable-cgi

My imac8,1 has an error code of 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0,0) what does this mean and where or how can i get this fixed?

I need my computer although it is old i bought it in 2008, i just can not afford a new computer. Could someone possibly tell me the meaning of my error code?

The error shows a problem with the hard drive, and as it says SATA, it may be related to the SATA connector of the hard drive or the logic board. I recommend you to take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get it diagnosed, so you will know what the problem is and they will provide you a solution. If the problem is in the logic board, this may be an expensive repair

How to fix this or where to get this fixed? (Headphones-ja

From what I know, this is a really common problem with the Zen Micros and I can't believe how unstabile the headphonejack really is. It's surrounded by a gap and is not solid at all. At first everything have been ok. But now, even the slightest touch on the headphonejack, the music get disturbed. I can't even have my Zen Micro in my pants and walk at the same time without the music getting flipped out. Talk about quality. I've had it for more than a year so I probably cant "send it to Creative" but do anyone know how to fix it or where I can go to get this fixed to solve this problem? Or am I totally screwed? If so - definately last time I went with Creative.. Thanks and I really hope for an answer.

Bump! Cmon ppl, doesn't anyone have any advice?

Where do I go to get a water damaged ipod fixed

A couple weeks ago my 30g ipod video fell in the washing machine. I tried turning on the ipod on and plugging it up befor i realized it would burn out the circuits. weeks later the ipod still doesnt turn on. where do i go to get it fixed. what is the cost. i've heard of ipodresq.com but i'm not sure if they fix water damage. PLEASE HELP

iPodResQ have a pretty good reputation in the Mac world. I think they do an overnight evaluation of the iPod and email you a price for fixing the iPod before you decide whether it's worth it.
Worth a go.

Where do I go to get my broken "B" button fixed?

I was on my MacBook Pro today and typing on my keyboard like normal. Then, when I tapped on the "B" button, it broke and fell off! I was not doing anything careless. As I was typing, all I did was lightly tap on the "B" button and then it came off. Where can I go to get this fixed? The local Apple store? Should I call someone?
I just got my laptop last month, so it is still new. Do you think they will charge me to get one button fixed? Especially if it is still really new?

when i bought my son his 15" powerbook the same thing happened. I took it to the local apple store and they fixed it, no charge, as i waited.

Thanks, Flex harUI, for the direction in regards to isolating build changes. That aside (still working on it), can you offer any direction in regards to my original question on SDK and AIR compatibility? I'm specifically looking for a version compatibility mapping or anything that definitively states, "Flex SDK x.y.z works with the following versions of AIR". This information is crucial for us in order to more specifically plan our own roadmap built upon these two frameworks as we consider both existing installations of our software and future distributions.

Bootcamp Driver Set-up won't start/work - compatibility issue?

I have a feeling this has to do with the hardware/software compatibility issue that keeps surfacing. I've gone through quite a few other threads but have yet to find something enough like this. Where as many are experiencing blue screens during set-up, I can't even get that far...
I have a typical Macbook (the 13', 2.16 GHz Intel dual core). I bought it a couple months before Leopard came out (*cursing under breath*). That means this computer is about a year old. Originally, I used the Bootcamp Beta and everything went without a hitch. Uninstalled all that so I could install Leopard which I did back in... June I think. Now I need Windows back for some Windows-specific programs but I can't install these Bootcamp drivers.
So. 1 year-old laptop with 10.4.9 installation discs. Copy of Leopard purchased in or around June. I pop in the Leopard Disc with Windows open and... NOTHING happens. AT all. Tries to boot up the disc but, after several tries, ejects it.
Pulling out those old (Tiger installation) discs won't help because they won't have any drivers on them.
Any advice?
P.S. Yes, it's Windows XP, SP2

Can File Manager see files on the Leopard disc? If so, double click setup.exe. Also see [this.|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1855?viewlocale=en_US].

Compatibility issues with mac OS - Lightroom 4 works where CS5 won't

Hope someone can shed some light on this issue...
I tried installing Lightroom 4 on Mac OS 10.6.1 (which is currently running CS5 without issues) but the specs call for OS 10.6.8 or later (10.7). When I updated my OS to 10.6.8, none of my CS5 apps work! They encounter launch errors - InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver... only Photoshop seems to work. So, I reverted back to OS 10.6.1 and all the programs function. Is Adobe working on a solution to fix this issue? I see with the forums that several other users have noted the same issue with CS5 not working in the OS 10.6.8 environment. I don't want to upgrade my OS just to have Lightroom function, but none the CS apps. I was thinking of partitioning my HD to load both OS, but that shouldn't be the workaround. I am very disappointed that I've purchased Lightroom 4 and now am unable to use it due to compatibility issues with the OS with the rest of CS5.0.

Pixelzboy are you receiving any specific errors when launching your applications under 10.6.8? CS5 should work just fine with 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.3. You may also want to post to the product specific forums with your launch errors as the users in those forums will be more familiar with troubleshooting steps specific to those products.

Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

Hi everyone,
I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
What I've tried so far:
1. First attempt
     a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
     b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
          Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
2. Second attempt
     a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
     b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
     c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
          Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
3. Third attempt
     a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
     b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
     c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
          Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
Best regards,
Alex

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.

OSX 10.9.1 Compatibility issue with Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B

I have Mac Mini's connected to the Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B touch screens and after updating to 10.9.1 am experiencing what appears to be a compatibility issue with the Sharp TPM driver and the OSX 10.9.1.
Everything works perfectly previously on 10.8.4 and 10.8.5. I did not test on 10.9.0 as I went straight to 10.9.1. Anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on resolution?

OK so perserverance seems to have helped here - i used the cmd R function on start up to get to the page where i can re install OS X Lion - Safari now working.
However i have Office 2011 for MAC and now Excel wont start so i will post on another thread for help with this
Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik
