Firewire is gone after upgrading!

I updated OSX Panther on my Powermac G5 to Tiger today and after that I upgraded FCP4.5 to FCP5. But now FCP can't play back any video through firewire and iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod (an oldie with firewire). I tried everything in FCP but it doesn't 'see' my camera connected with Firewire.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks!

Hi juiceNL, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum! and the Final Cut Pro & Final Cut Pro HD Forum! and the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Forum!
Unless you get a better answer elsewhere, you could try a firewire reset -
from Mike Mihalik, LaCie
"Seems like the FireWire issue needs to be revisited quite often. Here is my often repeated suggestion which appears to clear up many FireWire issues: reset the FireWire ports. Panther has a Finder Preference to show mounted volumes on the Desktop. You must set this for mounted drives to be visible. Please follow these instructions to reset your FireWire port.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88338
Here is a summary:
* shut down and disconnect all external drives and peripherals ; make sure nothing is connected to the FireWire ports
* use Apple Disk Utility to repair permissions on your internal boot drive
* shut down and disconnect the AC power from the computer as well as the drives; if laptop, also remove battery
* let sit unpowered and unconnected for 15 minutes
* reconnect AC power to only the computer (battery too if laptop)
* restart computer
* verify that FireWire ports are visible within Apple System Profiler
* reconnect FireWire drive (only one); refresh window within Apple System Profiler to rescan the FireWire bus; confirm that drive is visible
* confirm drive is OK by using Apple Disk Utility and apply First Aid
* repeat for other drives, one at a time"

All bought titles and albums gone after upgrading I Tunes

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library.
BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Digital AV Adapter: "Accessory not supported" and "TV Out" settings gone after upgrading iPad 2 to iOS 5.0.1

I've used the digital AV Adapter (bought in Apple Store) nicely on iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.x.
After upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 the TV Out settings have disappeared from the General Settings menu (no matter if adapter is plugged in or not).
I thought that maybe it was time to do a full reset (just in case), so I did that, while the adapter was still plugged in.
When the iPad finished resetting I got a popup message on the lock screen saying:
"This Accessory is Not Supported by iPad"
The adapter sort of works, i.e. there is a picture on my TV, but I cannot control the TV output settings which I could in iOS 4.3.x.
The TV Out settings are completely missing from the General Settings menu (if they were moved in iOS 5.0.1 somewhere else, I could not find them).
The "TV Out" menu item is not there at all.
I cannot select between PAL/NTSC output anymore which is crucial for me as it seems that the iPad current setting is PAL, while I need to be it NTSC, otherwise video drop frames/stutters when played back over a TV.
What I would like to know if there is anybody out there who has iOS 5.0.1 and actually can see the "TV Out" settings under the General Settings (I think it should follow the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" directly), because no matter what I did I cannot the settings menu to be displayed (I've reset the device, plugged and unplugged the adaptor and HDMI cable multiple times, tried different TVs, etc)
Or, if the settings are in fact, gone by design, then how am I supposed to play 23.976 or 24 FPS media on a 1080p50 TV without stuttering (don't answer that, I know it is impossible, I am just frustrated). This is the first ever device I bought from Apple and I must say I am not that impressed by such turn of events.
I mean, what kind of update removes essential features and makes the officially produced accessory suddenly "not supported"? Did they even test their own official accessory?? Seems not to me.
This thread is talking about sort of similar issue (although it is about the VGA adapter):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2413622?start=0&tstart=0

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Complete library is gone after upgrade to 9.0.2

My complete library is gone after an upgrade to 9.0.2, however, the files are still on my external hardrive. Do I have to manually drop & drag each file to restore to iTunes? Is there an easier way to restore?
TIA,
Lynn

My complete library is gone after an upgrade to 9.0.2, however, the files are still on my external hardrive.
Let's try the following document first, Lynn. (No need to reinstall iTunes, though ... you can skip that step.)

Battery life gone after "upgrading" to 4.3 (iPhone 3GS)

I've lost all battery life after upgrading last night to ios 4.3! I barely get 5-6 hours, whereas I always got a full day (probably two if i let it run down) before the upgrade. I can't believe this is a coincidence. How do I go back to 4.2? Or is there a cure for this?

OK, problem solved, with the help of Apple Support.
They suggested that I re-install the upgrade using Restore on iTunes. So I backed-up the iPhone, did a Restore to factory settings, and then restored all the apps, music etc from the back-up. The phone was fully charged 8 hours ago now, and has gone down to 80% with some occasional use .... this is typical for my 3GS. So: "Restore to Factory Settings" worked. Don't ask me why!

Faces gone after upgrades to Mavericks and iPhoto database.

After upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, the iPhoto Database had to be upgraded by iPhoto to work with Mavericks. It went thru the process and afterwards many (but not all) of my Faces were gone. The photos are still there...and they're still tagged with the appropriate Faces name, but they will not show up in Faces. The only way I can get them to show up there is to delete the Faces names that are already on the photo and re-enter the Faces from scratch. But since there are at least 1500 photos that are affected, there's got to be a better way! I've done each of the following to no avail:
1) Repaired permissions.
2) Rebuilt Thumbnails.
3) Repaired the Database
4) Rebuilt the Database
5) Restored the Database from Time Machine to pre-Mavericks. The database had to be converted by iPhoto like before. And the results are the same - lots and lots of Faces missing - though everything else appears to be there. The only thing I can see is that it's the same set of years where the Faces are missing (it's something like all Faces from 1942-1970 are missing - but the ones before and after that are there).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Since you've tried all of the standard fixes there's only one left:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If no change try rebuilding the thumbnails again.

Get Info panel metadata all gone after upgrade to Yosemite!

Shortly after upgrading to Yosemite I discovered that all the metadata I had typed into the Get Info panel for a multitude of image files has been wiped out! Need less to say I'm ****** off. What happened and is there any way to recover this info? On a related note I also discovered that the field where you type info now behaves like a tag entry field, where typing a comma creates separate snippets of text. Whose brilliant idea was that? Is there a preference that can be reset so the field will accept text normally? Thanks.

I have the same problem, and no I haven't moved it.. but it's back to the default WIKI after the upgrade..
It seems there's the data in there.. a good 7-8 gig's worth, so I'm not thinking that's the default/empty data.
There IS a
Config
Config.original
Actually.. I'm not sure about the exact wording cos I can't access the computer as Yosemite is hanging right now.. **** Yosemite, I'm never going there again...

All apps and purchased upgrades gone after upgrading to iOS5.

Well, Apple, you've really Microsoft-ed this iOS5 upgrade.
After upgrading iTunes, then my iPad to iOS5, I lost all the apps and app data from the iPad.
I restored the apps by clicking on all of them in iTunes and Syncing iTunes and the iPad.
This probably did more harm than good, because now the original back up was overwritten with a bad back up.
After reading the forums, I thought I could restore my data and purchased application upgrades, however, nothing changed.
Can I get back to the original backup and selectively restore the application data?
I love the automatic back up feature, but, don't blast away previous back ups. Also, let us decide what to restore to the iPad.
Argh.

The same thing just happened to me and I was ticked!! All is well now though because this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) worked for me! YAYAYAY! Click the first "download previously purchased apps" and follow directions. It's annoying because you have to go back into the app store on your iPad and redownload every single one individually, but at least it works! I was not about to go repurchase them all. After this, I will backup from iPad into iTunes since they got lost in the iTunes update.

Network utility gone after upgrade to Mavericks

Hello,
After upgrading my 1 year old Retina Macbook Pro from Mountain Lion to Mavericks my Network Utility app was removed after the successful upgrade.
Is this just an incident by me or was this intended to happen as function of this utility is put somewhere else or considered by Apple not to be necessary anymore.
Regards,
Rob

Apple moved it to /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/.

IPhoto library gone after upgrade to Tiger

My iPhoto library was empty after upgrading to Tiger. I am on my 4th digital camera, so you can imagine how many photos I can no longer find. What is worse, and I don't think there is anything worse, I can no longer see photos of my child who is deceased. I want my photos back!! Can anyone help. The "computer nerd" company that did our upgrade is of no help at all. They talk to me as if I knew anything about computers and I know nothing. Please help me.

Three separate issues then:
1. The files which are corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize
Some things to try:
Change the file suffix to .jpg (i.e lowercase) or .jpeg and see if that helps.
Download Graphic Coverter and try open them with it. Graphic Converter is a image editor, and frankly, if it won't open them, I doubt anything will.
2. "Unreadable Files: 1
The following could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)"?
iPhoto will not import files from the iPhoto Library Folder - it's a simple protection against duplication.
3. iPhoto fails to display any of these images at all.
Do you get a blank square in the iPhoto Window? What happens when you click on a pic to edit it in the iPhoto Window? Do you get a ? or a !
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
If you want to start over:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Pictures gone after upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.2

Dear All.
After the upgrade to 9.4.2 we have a numer of problems:
1.     All pictures are gone. iPhoto shows frames with no content.
2.     I had saved libraries in different places at different times during the last couple of months. All the libraries ave the same date of the last changes to it: 31.3.2012. These dates must be different as we have been working with these libraries almost every day.
3.     The one dated 31.3.2012 can be opened. Besides not showing any pictures (see 1. above) there seem to be two years (2011 and 2012) worth of pictures missing.
Please help, as this is a major desaster.
Thomas.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IWork apps gone after upgrading to mavericks

Hello guys !
Recently my macbook pro (running Mountain Lion ) was unable to install some apps and after 2 year it was some kind of slow .. so I erase my hard and reinstall it using bootable USB ( I once did it before )
after that I upgrade to mavericks manually ... since I bought macbook > I own iWork & iLife apps ( not on DVD) ... going to mac store for redownloading purchased apps ...WOW ... iWork apps was gone and I have to pay ! but iLife apps was still free for me
free upgrade to mavericks cust me 60$ to rebuy what I own before !!!
I don't know what happend here .. even I've mailed to mac os support and they answer me that I only own these apps for iOS ... but I do owned them !!!
do you have any idea what should I do ?
what is wrong with apple about this ?

This is a user to user support forum. We don't have access to your Purchase History. iTunes/Mac App Store support does. They can see everything that you have bought since you opened the iTunes account. We can't help with your dispute with iTunes Support.
Why would you erase the HDD and not have a secure backup of all your apps and data?

Widgets gone after upgrade to 10.4.8

Hi
I upgraded my system after a security update prompted me to do so. When it was all done, my computer was completley different - the two main things that bother me is that:
1. almost all my widgets, even the standard mac ones (weather, dictionary etc), are gone, no where to be found, not even online.
2. idvd and dvd studio pro don't have templates anymore, for menues and buttons.
can anyone explain what happened, but most of all - what should i do???
Thanks
Nava.

i have the same problem =S=S

Notes gone after upgrading to Mavericks

Have started the "Notes" application but none of my notes that were in Mail appear in the app after the upgrade to Mavericks - and they are of course gone from Mail. they are still in my Notes app on my iPhone. what should I do?

If your iPhone is 3GS or newer, it is probably a case of ensuring iCloud syncing is activated in iTunes and is the default account on the phone. However, the older iPhones did not have this iCloud facility and getting Notes off them meant using an extractor and then interrogating the Sqlite database. First, make sure you back up the phone to your computer using iTunes.
Maybe this thread is a help.
