Firewire ports conflict with sound settings.

Hi, Peculiar problem. My sound suddenly switched to being internal speaker only, even though I have decklink HD Extreme card and was using it as my audio output the night before. Narrowed the problem down to anything being plugged in to the firewire ports - FW400 and FW800 ports and drives or even my Mini DV deck. When I plug anything into the firewire ports, trying to get to the sound settings in system preferences hangs, and all sound will only work on the internal speaker. This is a sudden problem and leaves me only being able to plug in esata external hard drives. There is some sort of conflict going on somewhere. Can anybody help?

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • Firewire 800 conflict with Firewire 400 port

    hi everyone,
    i've been having an issue with the firewire ports where they can't be used simultaneously. when my camcorder is attached via FW400 and an external harddrive is attached via FW800, i can not simultaneously capture footage from the camcorder and save to the external harddrive. i went to the genius bar and the geniuses say that it is because both ports run through the same bus.
    i was wondering whether other people have this problem but also more importantly, whether anyone has gotten apple to correct this problem. i read on one discussion board somewhere that someone sent their computer back to apple and had it fixed but i want to figure out whether this is hearsay. i know it is possible to just buy a PCI card with additional ports (and/or daisy chain the peripheries together which i don't want to do) but i find this rather difficult to accept after dropping $2K on a system that i assumed would meet my video editing needs.
    please let me know!
    thanks so much!

    Apple have cut corners and stuck both firewire inputs on the same bus. I actually think this is true for the mac pro too. To be honest not everyone has bandwidth issues, but I am having a nightmare at the moment with a F/W400 audio device and F/W800 HD.
    If it is a bandwidth issue then the only solution is to get an express card. I would recommend trying this set-up first to see if it helps. Mac -> F/W 800 HD -> Cam

  • Conflict with color settings

    Hello,
    I'm using Creative Cloud and all my programs have synchronized colors. My problem is with InDesign. Colors do not look the same there. Everytime I go to color settings, the program shows this error:
    "Some parameters in the color settings file could not be used. Default values will be used instead."
    And InDesign changes color to default values. I can select my custom color space but I don't know if it is really working, because every time I go to Edit> color settings... I get the same error. I have to manually change my color settings every time I launch InDesing.
    My custom color settings (initially set on Photoshop and synchronized using Bridge. I'm copying them from InDesign) are:
    Working Spaces
    RGB: Adobe RGB (1998)
    CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (Swop) v2
    Color Management Policies
    RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    CMYK: Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)
    (Nothing selected on "Profile Mismathes" and "Mising profiles")
    Conversion Options:
    Engine: Adobe (ACE)
    Intent: Perceptual
    ("Use Black Point Compensation" is selected).
    InDesing is the only program in the suite that can not synchronize with this settings.
    I'm using Windows 7, 64 bit. All my Adobe programs are up to date. In design version is 8.0. This problem happens with any other custom workspace created, no matter what options are selected.
    Thanks in advanced for any comments or help with this matter,
    Alí Marín

    Have you tried reinstalling InDesign? It sounds like something's wrong with your color profiles.
    That's the only thing I haven´t tried, but I will and post about it.
    I found a workaround though: If I set my desired color settings in InDesign, but don´t save them, then it works; I no longer get the error message if I go to Edit> Color Settings...
    The color settings dialog box says that my Creative Cloud applications are unsynchronized, because I´m not using the .csf file previously synchronized using Bridge, but the settings are exactly the same and I can get around it. Colors actually work as they should.
    So this seems to be a problem with InDesign accessing any saved color settings file. My color profiles aren´t wrong, because all other programs in the Suite use them with no trouble.
    InDesign just wants to have it's own, non saved, color settings. How about that? Guess I got the selfish version .

  • Firewire HDV conflict with the new imac ?

    Hi all,
    I would like to buy an imac but I had conflicts at work beetween my HDV camcorder connected in firewire and the imac's isight in Final Cut Pro 5 and 6 (tested both) and I would like to know if any of you noticed the same problem or if it is a well none problem with isight's integrated computers ?
    I looked where I could turn off the isight but i didn't find, does anybody know how ?
    When I tried to connect my camcorder, Final Cut wouldn't recognize it as plugged and when I checked in the capture window, when I clap in my hands, the sound goes into Final Cut's Capture tool but I have no image. It's as if the isight and the mac's microphone had priority before the firewire connection and interfere.
    I managed once to connect it but never again and never before.
    If it's really the isight which is the problem, I don't want to buy one for me !!!
    Thanks for help, suggestions or comment

    You might check this thread...don't know if any of it applies...

  • Any known GB conflicts with "Sound Studio" 3  ?

    I have ordered a new iMac desktop with latest OSX 10.8.x and iLife suite.
    I currently use Sound Studio 2.2.4 on this PPC, and plan to buy latest SS 4.x for the new desktop.
    I've never played with GarageBand yet.
    Are there any known conflicts having GarageBand and Sound Studio on the same platform?
    Thank you in advance.

    What conclicts are you thinking of? Sound Studio produces audio files that you can import into GB as long as they are in a supported format. That's independent of the OS. I am using both programs and am happy with it.

    I am sorry, I was trying to click on your thread to read it and my mouse was slightly off and it clicked on the Delete Thread.  For some reason there is no longer a warning saying "Are you sure you want to delete this thread" it was just POOF Gone!

    I am sorry but you will have to post it again.

    Hi I am experiencing the same issue since that I have upgraded my osx to 10.6.8 yesterday !

    For now I have just unplugged my duet and nothing happened so far.. I am going to try it on my macbook pro and see how it goes..

  • Re: Sun One conflicting with Apache

    I have Sun One 4.0 ASP Server and Apache 2.0.43 and Tomcat 5.0.28 and I noticed that when I added the JK Mounts to Apache in order for Apache to become the dominant Web Server as opposed to Tomcat on the Unix side, that the Sun One statements caused conflict. Specifically:
    LoadModule casp2_module /var/Chilisoft/casp/module/sunos5_optimized/apache_2.0.x/20020903/standard/mod_casp2.so
    AND
    CaspLib /var/Chilisoft/casp/asp-server-3000
    ** When these lines were commented out, Apache worked fine and was able to bring back the Client page as well as data. Is there a port conflict with Apache or something else that I may be missing?
    thanks!
    Benjiwolf12

    I have fixed this problem.
    Apparently, the order of where the 'Load Module' is placed in Apache is very important. I moved the Load Module down to the bottom of the httpd.conf file and now the conflict is resolved.
    cheers!

  • New FireWire external hard drive won't mount: conflict with iSight?

    My parents just upgraded their eMac (1 GHz, 1GB RAM) to Leopard and bought an external FireWire hard drive to use Time Machine. We got the drive back to their place, powered it up, and plugged it in via the FireWire cable. Nothing. Wouldn't mount, didn't show up in System Profiler or Disk Utility. We tried a few more times but eventually gave up and figured the drive was DOA.
    After I got home, I realized I should have had them unplug their iSight and try again. Is the FireWire bus on the eMac balky enough that this one additional device could have caused a conflict? They're not using any FireWire hubs: these were the only two devices on the bus.
    If it does work without the cam attached, is there then any way to get the two devices to play nicely together afterward? They use the cam all the time for videochats with family, so I'm not about to tell them they have to give that up just to get more frequent backups.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your speedy reply. How appalling that a computer with two FireWire ports can't use two FireWire devices! And it's Apple's own device that causes the conflict. I can't even think of an easy workaround, since the whole point of Time Machine is that the drive remains connected all the time.
    I guess I could have them eject the drive, unplug it, and connect the iSight whenever they want to start a videochat. If the eMac only had USB 2.0, this would be moot! D'oh.
    I'm getting ahead of myself, though -- I still have to go to their place and try the external drive without the iSight attached. Thanks again for confirming my suspicions.

  • Imac G5 won't start with Isight plugged into the firewire port.

    I went to turn on my Imac today and it wouldn't start. After checking all the usual culprits (power strip, outlet and power chord) which were not the problem, I proceeded by unplugging all the external devices from the back ports. After unplugging the computer for a few seconds and plugging it back in (which I read resets any power issues), it turned back on. I plugged my Isight camera back in and turned it on and the computer suddenly shut off. I reproduced this quite a few times and it did the same thing. It won't even turn on if any device is plugged into the firewire port. Does anyone have a clue of what this conflict could be or experienced anything similar.
    I would greatly appreciate any input.
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    Welcome to Discussions - try resetting your PRAM, if that doesn't work, I'm afraid there is something wrong with your logic board, where the firewire bus is located. The best thing to do would be to take it in for servicing.

  • Firewire Conflict with HD & Canopus 110

    Anyone have any exeprience with Firewire 400 conflicts like this...?
    The only way I can use both my LaCie HD (big disk extreme 500G) and Canopus ADVC 110 (C-110) is to first boot my system with the HD on and the C-110 powered off. When I then connect the C-110, the system is able to see both and everything works fine (so far). BUT...
    If I boot my system with both the LaCie HD and the C-110 connected via Firewire 400, the system doesn't see either one. If I then go into the sytem profiler and look under Hardware>Firewire, the system hangs and I have to reboot. I've also had the sytem hang when trying to load FCE HD 3.5, forcing yet another reboot.
    Are there known conflicts like this? I've searched this forum and couldn't find anything specific to this set up. While I do have a work around, it's not convenient and it still suggests something is amiss.
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm eager to get down to some productive work,and this isn't helping.

    2GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    Hi,
    I have Lacie d2's (no big disk extreme, however) and the ADVC-110. Haven't had any problems with them when connected at the same time, but I could make a few suggestions -
    If you have the ADVC daisychained off the drive, don't. If you have them on the same FW controller, put them on separate ones if possible, although I realize that may require an additional FW card.
    Sometimes there are issues with miniDVcams connected to the front FW port on the G5, if that's where you have the ADVC connected that may be a factor.
    Also, if you ever connected/disconnected the FW cable to the ADVC while it was powered on or the G5 was powered, the FW chip in the ADVC may have been damaged. (And the FW ports on the G5 are powered even when the machine is shut down, unless you have disconnected power at the wall or at your surge protector/UPS).
    But maybe you've already checked all this ...
