Firewire port failure/ tried all remedies

Hey Guys,
     The problem I'm having is in regards to connecting a G-Drive Mini to my Firewire 800 port. My main question is can my firewire port be "fried" and still provide my drive with power? The drive will connect Via USB successfully.
The solutions/remedies I've tried are:
Reset Pram
Reset SMC
Reinstalled Combo Update for 10.6.8
Booted off install disk and opened disk utility to see if drive would mount
AHT Extended Test resulting in no problems found
Used an external power supply to power G-drive when plugged into Firewire 800 port. (1 amp power supply)
Drive was successfully mounted on a Mac pro using the same firewire cable.
Formated/added files onto drive using USB
Reset Firewire port by unplug power and shutdown for 15 minutes
Symptoms occuring are:
Drive is getting power from Firewire port.
Can connect via USB to the drive.
Will not mount of be recognized in disk utility or firewire section in system profiler (only information under firewire tab is the Max speed limitation of 800mb/s)
My Macbook Pro:
Macbook Pro 7,1 (Mid-2010)
Intel Core Duo 2
Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
2.66ghz
8Gb-Ram
My External Hard-drive:
G-Technology
G-Drive Mini
1Tb
Any thoughts, suggestions, or questions are greatly.
P.s. I sadly don't have another firewire device to test on the port but this device is indeed working properly because I tested it on a Mac Pro with the same cable.
Is it possible for my port to be fried and AHT report no problems?
I'm considering updating mac to Mountain Lion or Mavericks to see if problem persists (Last Resort) Bootup off install disk should have disproved this theory?

Take it in to an Apple Genius, the diagnosis is almost always free, they have much more sophisticated testing. AHT may not tell you about issues that deep. (make an appointment for the genius bar)

When I try to move it out of Trash to a temporary location so I can empty remainder of Trash, I get the message "Some of the items you are moving are in use by another application. Moving the items can cause problems with the application using them. Are you sure you want to move these items?" at which point I select "Stop" to avoid possible disaster.  Can you help? Thanks.

    That usually indicates an abnormal shutdown due to a hardware fault. The exact cause can only be determined by Apple, so schedule a Genius Bar Reservation.

  • Full Firewire Port Failure (three different machines : iMac Intel, iMac G5, Black Macbook)

    I'm experiencing a failure of all FireWire ports on all of my three machines. I believe this problem began with a faulty external, FireWire powered hard drive from G-Tech. Here are all my specs, followed by a rundown of the order of events that has lead to this situation, followed by the various troubleshooting I have done.
    Equipment :
    iMac Aluminum Intel - 24" Mid 2007 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 and 1 FW800 ports disabled
    iMac G5 - 20" - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 2 FW400 ports disabled
    MacBook - 13" black Early 2008 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 port disabled
    2 500GB G-Drives (by G-Tech) - AC powered
    1 5TB G-RAID Drive (by G-Tech) - AC powered
    1 250GB G-Drive Mini (by G-Tech) - FW powered
    Initial Setup :
    1 500GB G-Drive connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800
    1 500GB G-Drive connected to first 500GB G-Drive via FW800 (daisy chained)
    1 250GB G-Drive connected to second 500GB G-Drive via FW400 (daisy chained)
    1 5TB G-RAID connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800>400 adapter
    Sequence of Events :
    I had transferred some files to my G-Drive Mini in order to move them to my MacBook from my iMac Intel. I copied the files to the G-Drive Mini and ejected it normally and plugged it into my MacBook via FW400. The drive would not mount, and the power indication light would not go on. After experimenting with various connections and cables I was able to get the drive to power with FW400 and USB connected at the same time, but the drive would still not mount.
    I then plugged the G-Drive Mini back into the 2nd 500GB G-Drive as it was previously connected via FW400. This action caused the G-Drive to immediately reboot and eject itself from my iMac Intel.
    I then attempted to plug the G-Drive Mini into my older iMac G5 via FW400. Immediately upon plugging in, the computer shut down, and would not restart.
    At this point I kind of started to freak out. I was unaware of the extent of the damage, but was upset that the FW powered G-Drive Mini had shutdown my iMac G5. I contacted G-Tech Support and they offered to replace the drive and instructed me how to manually reset the computer's SMC by opening up the iMac and finding the Cuda switch. This worked and the computer was able to start and function again, but the FW400 port seemed to be disabled.
    I then tried to swap out configurations and drives on my iMac Intel to see if there was any cable problems, but doing so, slowly rendered all my FireWire ports useless. It's almost as if the act of plugging in the FW-powered G-Drive Mini started a kind of shortout chain reaction. I soon learned that none of my hard drives would connect to any of my three machines, with any kind of cable combination via FW400 or 800.
    I am currently able to connect my 5TB G-RAID drive to any machine via USB, as well as my G-Drive Mini. I am unable to access the other two external hard drives, as one has only FW400 and 800 ports and the other's USB connection is not functional as well on any machine.
    Troubleshooting Steps Taken :
    I have on all machines, reset the SMC in the following methods. iMac G5 - manually, by opening the case and pressing Cuda switch. iMac Intel - unplug, hold power button, restart method. MacBook - unplug, hold power button, restart method.
    I have also on all machines, reset the PRAM by the Cmnd + Opt + P + R method at startup.
    I have also unplugged all cables / removed battery, from all machines and left alone for a period of at least 12 hours, then re-plugged in each device one at a time.
    I have also restored my hibernate mode (through Terminal) on my iMac Intel to mode 3 and also turned on Virtual Memory in system preferences and set hibernatemode to mode 7, the restarted and attempted to plug in devices. The reason I even began to deal with the hibernate mode was because I had around the same time my ports began malfunctioning, installed the DeepSleep widget, which allows you to control your computer's hibernate mode. I thought that tweaking with this setting may have made my computer incapable of recognizing devices that were plugged in. I have since uninstalled the widget and experimented with different hibernatemodes to no avail.
    I also have Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk on all my machines, from within my Admin User as well as from the OsX Install Disk.
    Sometimes in my System Profiler (like right now for example on my iMac Intel) my computer is "Unable to list FireWire devices," but sometimes, no warning message comes up and it simply displays the appropriate Bus speed.
    I also conducted a system restore using a backup from my 5TB G-Raid Drive via USB, to a date before these problems started, but my ports are still not working.
    Summary :
    I am looking at a situation where all my FW ports on all my computers appear to be disabled, and possibly also on my four external hard drives, with one possible USB port malfunction on one external drive. The only root of this seems to be a malfunctioning FW-powered external hard drive.
    Is this possible? Has this happened to anyone else before? G-Tech assures me that it is impossible for my 250GB G-Drive Mini to draw enough power from a computer to permanently disable any ports, but I have tried all of the FW port problem troubleshooting steps and am at a loss.
    I do not have AppleCare and would like to avoid bringing two iMacs, a MacBook and four hard drives to the Apple store and take my chances with the geniuses.
    I would appreciate any help or advice you all have. Thanks for reading and for your support!

    Ok. So if that was too confusing, I've re-labeled this post with letters for my hard drives and some mapping of the connectivity configurations I have attempted.

  • Firewire Port Failure Diagnosis?

    I moved a number of harddrives around the desk.  I realized when I finished that I had completely forgotten to power down the iMac and Firewire drives.  When I got them where I wanted them I reconnected the Firewire 800 cable to oneexternal drive and then the Firewire 800 cable to the other drive in a daisy chain, like I've always had.  My iMac refuses to ackowledge either Firewire 800 hard drive.  The drives have power, I've re-switched the cabling and the ports around, but no success.  I'm fairly good at running down broken cables, disconnected cables, etc..
    My fear at this point, based on my testing, is that the Firewire 800 Port on the back of my iMac may have failed.  I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and I no longer am aware of how to diagnose an iMac Firewire 800 Port failure.  We don't seem to have the Extended Apple Hardware Test in Mountain Lion, like we used to on our earlier Original disks. If that even would been of any use in this case.
    How do I proceed???
    Thanks

    Well, I'm still very interested in whether we have access to the Extended AHT in Mountain Lion.  In the meantime though I thought about the situation and came up with one useful test.  The external hard drives are multi- connection drives and so also offer USB2 ports.  I hooked up the two external hard drives to the USB ports on the back of my iMac and the drives were fully recognized and accessible.  I believe I now have a burned out Firewire 800 port on my iMac, due to my own mistake,  Ouch. We live and we learn...

  • I continue to receive "Firefox unable to update error". Have tried all remedies suggested.

    I have tried all suggestions listed on your support site to correct this issue. Even after receiving the "something is causing Firefox not to be updated" message, I check the current version of Firefox and it says it is up-to-date. I have also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with the same results. Please help. Thanks.

    Make sure that your firewall isn't blocking the updater process.
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • IPhone crashes repeatedly since upgrading to iOS 6.0.1. Has anyone heard of a way to fix this? I have tried all remedies (rebooting, resetting, restoring, everything) but none of it works. Also, when I'm syncing, syncing stops unexpectedly.

    My crash reports show low memeory for most of them, but the phone is crashing even with no background apps running. I could be replying/reading a text message and it will turn to a black screen then return to homescreen. It does this no matter what app I'm running. All this started after the upgrade (I have an iPhone 4) and I'm having problems with the appletv as well since I upgraded that too.
    Here's one of the crash reports I got on the phone:

    I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
    The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
    The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
    I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
    There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
    I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
    I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
    Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
    After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
    Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
    Hope this solution will help you too,
    Enjoy!

  • ITunes computer authorization failure ( tried all fixes )

    Computer authrization problem in iTunes
    Hi to all. I am having the common problem of computer authorization in iTunes, so i can't sync my iPad and transfer my purchases. I have read about all the "popular" fixes and none of them worked. I am listing them here for others to try ( google them for more info as i will not describe in detail ) :
    1. Delete the SC info folder ( Users/Shared)
    Comments from my problem : I do NOT have an SC info file!
    2. Deauthorize/Reauthorize this or all computers and sign in again..
    Comments from my problem : Did that, did not work.
    3. Uninstall and reinstall itunes
    Comments from my problem : Did not try that. Any comments on that?
    This is a real problem of the apple community and apple should do something about that, as we are paying gold to buy their products. The support should be faster. This has been going on for a while now.
    Thank you in advance,
    George
    Equip : Macbook Pro, Mac mini (Non active ), iPhone ( Non active ), iPad Air

    Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the instructions from the following document?

  • TS3048 wireless keyboard stopped connecting. Tried all remedies on forum, nothing worked. Keyboard blinks green, but not discovered by iMac.

    Wireless keyboard stopped connecting to iMac. Replaced batteries, restarted computer. Keyboard blinks green- cannot get steady green light. Computer does not recognize keyboard, nor connect. Tried deleting device and re-connecting, but keyboard is never seen by the Mac. Also tried same keyboard with a Macbook Air and keyboard was not recognized. other bluetooth device (mouse) works fine. Ideas?

    For now, try a SMC reset.

  • Disable Faulty FireWire Ports In 10.4.11

    my powermac's firewire ports are fried, and it causes all kinds of problems (slow startup, random freezes, computer won't sleep).
    i found this:
    sudo -s
    Password: (enter admin password)
    cd /System/Library/Extensions
    cd IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns
    mv AppleFWOHCI.kext AppleFWOHCI.null
    touch /System/Library/Extensions
    which disabled the built in firewire ports, and solved all of my problems...but it also disabled the firewire ports on the PCI card i put in.
    is there a way to disable to built in ports, but not the ports on the PC card?
    i know very little about this, so any help is appreciated.

    Hmmm, are your 10.4 Install Discs more than one?
    Just tried my Mac Mini, 10.4.2 Install Discs which is a 4 or 5 set, and indeed AB was a generic icon & small, I believe more resides on other Discs in the set, likely #2.
    Have you considered...
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

  • Firewire ports disappear on powerbook?

    I've got a 1Ghz AlBook and after recently trying to share internet connections and use my ipod via firewire, I realized it wasn't working. I looked in system profiler and the firewire bus was blank...nothing there...I rebooted into target disk mode and connected it to my powermac, and it showed up without a problem...so how did Tiger forget of the existence of my firewire ports and how do I get them back? Thanks.

    Hmm...
    - Try resetting the FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, disconnecting from AC and shutting down for 10-15 minutes. (This works once in a while, but it won't necessarily provide a permanent fix.)
    - Try resetting PRAM ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238 )
    - Run Apple Hardware Test (in extended mode) by booting from the Install and Restore DVD that came with your PB while holding down the Option key. AHT may report hardware errors related to this issue.
    I really don't like to suggest that people reinstall their system software except in extreme situations, but if you wanted to do that to rule out software as the cause of the problem, you also have that option.
    Good luck.

  • Firewire ports

    My IMac is dying a slowwwwww death. First I have the black screen, but was able to use an external monitor for the time being. My problem now is my firewire ports. They both are not working. When I open my system profiler it says "No info found". Anyone able to help me? Anyone know a "fix" for this?

    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that still didn't get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
    Here's some more FW tips.

    I have a little more but we need this.
    p.s. It would help us, so we can advise you correctly, if you would fill in your Mac's specs. in My Settings over on the right, near your name and under the logout choice please.We don't know exactly what version of 10.3 your are running.

  • Firewire ports are dead

    My firewire ports seemed to have died. Not only will my Lacie Drives no longer mount, my iPod won't either. The system profiler doesn't seem them. They don't mount on the desktop. However, it seems as if power is still getting to the devices.
    I've tested the devices and cables in question on my powerbook. They all seem to work.
    Any ideas?

    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.3 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
