FireWire no longer works using Thunderbolt-FW800 adaptor

Has anyone else experienced this?
Running all the latest 10.8.2 plus correct firmware on 13" MB Pro Retina.
Lacie Rugged 1Tb FW drives - verified as being fine as recent as yesterday and on a FW equipped machine they mount and verify fine.
I've repaired startup disk permissions, put the computer to sleep, woken it up, reset SMC, checked the integrity of FW kext files.
Absolutely stumped.  This is 10.8.2, not System 8.6.
Any ideas?

There is a possibility that eventhough the LaCie drive meets
all powering specs for Firewire 800, it may draw more power
than the Thunderbolt port itself can provide.
According to this, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5309 , the
Thunderbolt port is capable of providing 7 watts.  So, it is possible
the LaCie is pushing it just over the edge.  It may be happenning
when the drive is first connected and the draw is too much at start up
or it just simply draws a but more than the port can provide.

  • Resetting PRAM no longer works using Leopard

    It seems that Leopard has changed the way to reset PRAM. Holding down the command-option-p-r keys no longer works on my iMac and PB. Anyone know the new way to reset PRAM in Leopard?
    Thx
    lenn

    Hi! A pram reset is at the hardware level before the OS starts to load so leopard isn't apt to have killed it. Are you using a keyboard other than an original? I just tried resetting mine on my G4 with leopard and it worked fine. Tom

  • GetURL no longer working - used to!

    I've got a Flash file which I have recently updated with my
    new all-singing-all-dancing CS4. In Flash 8 it all worked
    perfectly. I used getURL... I set allowScriptAccess to "always" in
    the html file, set publish settings to "Access network only" and
    there was never a problem. However, now I am publishing in CS4
    (still using AS2) it no longer works. I've checked the html file...
    looks fine. Any ideas? It works from the machine on which the code
    is written (sameDomain?) but when run on another refuses to access
    the Internet. The funny thing is that if I drop the Flash file into
    another application such as PowerPoint or Smart Notebook it all
    works perfectly. It's just when it runs through IE on any machine
    other than mine.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Hello again kglad, good to hear from you
    I'm writing a series of short flash applications for schools
    to use in teaching geography (do you remember the jigsaw picture
    you helped me with?) I do one a month and they are posted on a
    website for download. At the end of each application is a page with
    'links' to pages on a website for further info. Users are able to
    click the links and go to the web page. I've always used getURL
    etc. (see previous message for settings). However, all the previous
    ones (written in Flash 8 but using the same AS2 code) have worked
    perfectly when it came to the links. The problem arises if, say, I
    put a copy of the .swf and associated html file onto my computer at
    school. The Flash runs faultlessly when run through IE but when the
    page is displayed with the links on none of them work. You can
    click them and they appear to respond but nothing happens. The
    wierd thing is if I drop the Flash into another application (for
    example an Interactive Whiteboard page) the links work perfectly.
    Any ideas? Have I got a setting wrong somewhere? They all look fine
    to me. I've checked the html file and the publish settings in
    Flash. Bit of a mystery.
    Regards, Rick

  • External Display No Longer Working (Air & Thunderbolt)

    My MacBook Air just decided it no longer wants to work with my external Dell U2711 display via Thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable. Frustrating as this has been working for the past 3 years. Currently running OS X 10.10.2. Have tried PRAM and SMC resets to no avail. Not sure what is going wrong, but looking at the error log it is obviously trying to set it to the wrong resolution "1440 x 900". Previously everything was working great with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. Thoughts?

    Howdy Haknat,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    If you're still seeing no image on the external display after resetting the SMC and PRAM, then the next step I'd like you to do is to start the device in Safe Mode.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
    Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

  • FireWire no longer works after 10.4.8 update

    I used the Software update (after repairing disk permissions) and without any USB/FireWire units connected to my PowerBook G4 17". The update seemed to work fine until I connected my LaCie FireWire disks. The disks powers up, but they won't mount in Finder and they can't be found in Disk Utility. None of the FireWire connections (400 & 800) can be used for any of my disks, nor for my iSight camara.
    I have cleaned caches, repaired permissions and updated with the combo updater, but so far with no luck.
    Any suggestions?
    PBG4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello
    Try disconnecting all external peripherals, then shutdown your Mac, pull out all power cord, if it is a portable, take out the battery and leave it as it is for at least 5 minutes... 15 mins best.
    Then power back your mac and see if the FW ports are working
    Cheers

  • Import via firewire no longer working

    Hi,
    I'm using iMovie 10.0.2, and trying to import from a Sony DCR-TRV320E camcorder over firewire into my late 2010 13" Macbook Pro under Mavericks.  Everything is up to date software wise as of today.
    This setup worked fine under Lion (I skipped mountain lion), and with the previous version of iMovie.  I'd plug it in, go into import, and set it pulling in the contents of the tape - with no issues.  It was really slick.
    Trying it with my current setup, everything looks like it's working fine, i.e. I connect everything together, start the import, the camcorder starts up, video and audio show on my Macbook fine.  When the import finishes though, theres no video file to be found anywhere.  I've searched on the hard drive, and withing iMovie.  I tried creating another user account on my Macbook and doing it from iMovie in there, and again, import starts, video and audio play, but when import finishes there's no movie file anywhere.
    Help!  Any ideas, pointers or troubleshooting steps would be gratefully revceived!  It's frustrating the pants off me.

    Yes, I'm having the same problem.  Very frustrating!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24650020#24650020

  • Why does airplay no longer work using my ipad and apple TV

    After the installation of the newest iOS for both my ipad and iPhone air play no longer displays video thru my Apple TV, it does give me the ability to listen to the sound, but does not display the video. All systems are using the latest software.

    Hulu plus an Amazon block their content from being used with airplay. However the video app with either your own videos or iTunes video should work correctly, is this the video app that you are referring to.
    If indeed airplay does not work correctly with any of your apps..
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Imessage no longer works using microphone

    After installing ios8 Siri no longer speaks when home button is pressed. Cannot use the microphone option to dictate imessage. Apple needs to fix these issues or allow re-install of ios7 to my iphone and ipad.

    This worked for a while but now it's back to the same old problem.  Any other ideas?  This is super annoying.

  • After updating my 5S to ios 8.1.2 sync calendar to outlook no longer works

    After updating my 5S to ios 8.1.2 sync calendar to outlook no longer works, using iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    It will sync from Outlook to the phone, but not from the phone to Outlook.  This was working last week with the last version of iTunes and ios 8.1.1

    Hello MEOS001,
    If you are not seeing any changes being made over to your iPhone and vice versa to your computer, take a look a the article below. It will walk you through resetting the SyncServices Folder as well the Sync history. It may also be an issue with any plug ins that Outlook may have installed that may be preventing the sync.

  • Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor no longer works

    Hi All,
    After upgrading to Maverick I find my Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor no longer works. Network app insists the cable isn't connected but the cable works fine with other pcs (a Raspberry Pi for instance).  Any suggestions?
    R.

    If you have access to the Companies Intranet then the Ethernet connection is working just fine. The computer is getting a valid IP address from the companies DHCP server.
    You need to take this up with the IT staff as it seems whatever IP your computer is getting it is being block from going out to the internet.
