Firewire warning

hi all...
i broke my ipod cable a couple of days ago.... so i used my brothers cable that is not a ipod cable but a aftermarket cable and it worked.....as he charges his from this too...
this morning i added some new mixes and then when i came home from work i but this ipod on to charge and i got a warning sayin "firewire not suported" well im using USB not fire wire as its a lap top not a mac....not the bat is dead and i cant get nothing from it....its not charging not responding as the bat is total ....really need my ipod as i produce and DJ so i listen to demos and tracks on it ALOT lol thanks

Check your dock connector on the bottom of the iPod and if there is any debris clean it out. If this does not resolve the problem get a magnifying glass and see if any pins on the dock connector are damaged. And try yet another cable.

  • Firewire Warning pops up --won't clear - nano won't shut off

    Help please anyone!
    My brand new Ipod nano, after a day or two of trouble free operation, started showing a screen that says:
    "Firewire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided
    Press center button to dismiss.
    The first couple times this happened,
    I pressed the center button and the screen indeed would go away. A few more days of trouble free operation followed.
    Now this screen pops up persistently ( even when connected to USB) and the center "dismiss" function removes the message for just an instant.
    If I press it rapidly multiple times, eventually it will dismiss the warning message long enough to actually operate the menu functions of the ipod.
    Play and pause continues to work during all of this.
    The shutdown feature does not work at all the majority of the time. Once today I did get shutdown to work by holding down the play pause button.
    The Hold button is NOT the issue.
    I am aware of it and how it works.
    Has anyone experienced this problem?
    Anyone have any idea for a cure?
    I plan to try the "ipod restore" function,
    although I suspect that this is a hardware issue.
    I use my ipod at work as an audiovisual technician at a college, in a clean, climate controlled environment.
    I keep my nano protected in my employee ID holder on a lanyard around my neck.
    I sure hope that this problem will be covered by warranty.
    Thanks for reading,

    OK last night I tried the full restore function of the apple updater. when it had completed all the tunes that had been in there originally still showed up in the "administrator's ipod" list.
    so I selected all in the ipod list and deleted them.
    Now I can't add songs to the ipod at all.
    I called Apple tech help # for help,
    waited for help 10 minutes and then was disconnected.
    I tried again and completely stumped the first guy that answered. He said he would authorize a return,
    put me on hold and then i was disconnected.
    Even though he took my phone number , he did not call back.
    on my third try I got through to another help tech,
    who also had no suggestions other than to send it in for repair. I said that since this product was defective, i believe the law allows me to return it.
    the tech said i would have to call Apple customer Relationships # on monday and that she would get me a case #.
    I am currently on hold waiting for that number.
    Hopefully i won't be disconnected a third time.
    AAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
    ctrl. alt. delete applestyle!
    this product would be so cool IF IT WORKED!

  • FireWire warning: unable to list FireWire devices (red warning)

    Hello dear Apple Community,
    My last (fifth Apple Computer indeed) which is recent (iMac alu 24'' 2,4 ghz refurbly bought 3 weeks ago) shows me signs of unusual lack of reliability.
    This computer works pretty much fine but I regularly encounter a FireWire issue with it after a few hours of work. Generally after a long period of standby I cannot mount my FireWire devices so I have to reboot the iMac. I must precise that my peripherals are not in trouble (I have tried several cables and external drives), but the computer must be.
    I have tried to use another user account and I have also reinstalled entirely the OS.
    The funny thing is that when the FireWire is not responding I cannot put the computer in sleep mode!
    Each time I reboot it reworks again (until when is the question).
    It bothers me in a way I never had to restart my previous Macs (the reason why I switched several years ago from MS to Apple Computer Inc.).
    I begon to think I am the only one with it: either FW works 100 % or 0 % but not like my CPU.

    Good news everyone,
    I finally found the origin of my problem: it comes from the RAM.
    When I use 1 slot with 1GB, 2 slots of 1GB each or 1GB + 2GB it works fine.
    When I put 2 times 2GB it doesn't work because of the difference between the memories (the same bus but not the same manufacturer). I will try buying an extra 2GB RAM in order to have a correct dual channel.

  • Leopard -Firewire -camcorder-  G-5  PROBLEMS

    This is rather a lengthy post so get a cup of coffee & pull up a chair.
    I have a year old G-5 Tower with dual core processors 2 gigs of ram & 2- 250 hard drives ordered from Apple.
    It all started after I loaded Leopard, everything was fine till I tried to use I Movie HD 6.0.3 with a Camcorder. A Cannon ZR 850 camcorder I bought new last summer.
    When I plugged in my Camcorder to Firewire 400 front port, it could not read the camcorder. Tried rear port same thing. Then my two external 400 & 800 drives would unmount when I plugged in the camera.
    I then plugged in the camera without I Movie HD, went to the system profiler and clicked on firewire devices and got a red error message saying no fire wire detected!
    I tried several times to get the camera to read, It actually read once, but then after that my firewire ports would not read ANY FIR WIRE 800/400 Device of any kind. It would read the drives connected USB!
    Called Apple they said reinstall leopard with an archived install. Did that, still nothing.
    Called a tech in and he tried to boot from an external drive and would not read on restart with option, in profiler anywhere. Ran tech disc aid and said again error no firewire devices.
    called Apple back and they said I needed a new logic board, as the reinstall of Leopard would have fixed it if it was a software issue.
    Under warranty they replaced the logic board and front Firewire port module.
    After that it still wont read any drives! no firewire detection!
    The tech suggests re-installing Tiger (archived install) as he thinks it's a Leopard issue.
    Re installed original Tiger OS 10, as an archived install- Everything works, reads all fire wire devices including camcorders. Everything seems to work fine, but will not access old Leopard Users/ files-
    I need to use all my previous User files so I had to tried a clean install of Leopard on G-5
    DID CLEAN INSTALL OF LEOPARD on G-5 & did all updates– Now Reads fire wire 800 & 400 drives, both front & back ports, but still not a camcorder- When camcorder plugged in, other drives dismount- system profiler says- error no fire wire devices located, unplug camcorder, run profiler again and the drives re-mount and show up in profiler with no error message.
    Also in profiler shows a unknown firewire device on front port with nothing plugged in firewire ports?
    Tried Panasonic 3CCD camcorder on G-5 computer - could not read
    Used a backup Drive, loading Leopard only, without any updates to bypass Users/G-5 Hard drive, to boot up, from the G-5 FIRE WIRE 400 port.
    Tried camera- would not read again.
    I Movie HD can't find any camera connected and freezes up. Wont force quite, need to restart.
    Thought I would try I life 08 on the external drive to see if it could help
    Loaded I Life 08 on boot up backup test drive
    I movie 08 crashes and will not open- error message reads
    Termination App due to uncaught Exception
    Creating more than one application
    Performed all updates on external drive for both Leopard & I life 08-
    I Movie 08 then recognized Panasonic camera, but program freezes up when trying to download any clips. Force quit will not work , need to restart computer. Tried Camera again, reads Panasonic, then tried a Cannon ZR850 Camcorder- wont recognize it. Tried Panasonic and now I Movie 08 & computer will not recognize either camcorders, Still recognizes & mounts external drives both 400 & 800 firewire ports
    Tried HD I Movie but the program froze up and force quit would not work. On restart of back up drive, computer froze up twice during restart and needed to be manually re-started during start up, giving the error message-
    Panic Dart Entry Exception Hyper Transport
    Kernel error Mac OS Version Not set
    Sent ACCD file (Capture Data application) to Apple tech- will call after reviewing
    Apple has no clue yet as to what is going on. They are looking at it from the file I sent
    Sorry for the lengthy post

    No help ... sorry. But I have a Dual 2.3 GHz G5 with Leopard that won't find either of my dv cameras either (both iMovie 6 and FCE 4). I get the same red firewire warning but so far no other problems.
    I am going to try in on a couple of Tiger machines later...

    Pos, what an enumeration ! I think that your point of view is slightly biased, and that some "statements" need a bit more explanation.
    Mac OS X definitely looks great (we're talking about the graphical user interface - after all, when browsing Microsoft's website, you could very well say that Windows looks great and because it works as it should and doesn't get in your way like Windows often does, it feels great to use this system.
    It is UNIX-based, which means it relies on a well-known, reliable foundation (UNIX). The core of the system, Darwin (which is basically Mac OS X w/out all the user interface and bundled applications), is Open Source, which means that its source code is available to anyone, and can therefore be thoroughly analyzed and tested by any knowledgeable person who wants to - thus helping detecting issues (or bugs, if you prefer) and fixing them, which results in greater reliability and security for OS X.
    I disagree with No hacking and Bulletproof and stealth security : it isn't entirely accurate, and can be misleading. Mac OS X is not hacker-proof : it can be hacked, just like any other operating system, in many ways. However, it does inculde a software firewall which has a good reputation, and offers an option called "Sealth Mode", which will make your Mac invisible to hackers. It should be enough to protect you from many threats, and if you use a router to connect to the internet, it probably has a (hardware) firewall of its own.
    On the other hand, Mac OS X is definitely more secure than Windows. It has less security holes, and since Macs don't run Windows applications (and Windows PCs don't run Mac apps), and that viruses are nothing else than very compact applications, a Mac cannot be affected by Windows viruses and worms. There are some viruses targeting previous versions of the MacOS, but Mac OS X is an all-knew operating system and isn't affected by them (as long as you don't run OS 9 through Classic - but that's only necessary if you want to use old Mac apps, and as a switcher you are unlikely to do so). Viruses, and pieces of malicious software targeting OS X are very rare, and often remain a "proof of concept" ...
    Any new Mac comes with a lot of bundled software, including word processing applications (such as AppleWorks, which is kind of outdated now - but many other are available, including Microsoft Office:mac 2004 and a version of OpenOffice.org) and the iLife suite :
    iTunes is a well-known application which is also available for Windows;
    iPhoto is an app to manage your photo library, it isn't great, but isn't bad either and is well integrated with the other iApps;
    GarageBand allows you to make or record your own music, with your keyboard (with software instruments, it's not very practical) or external instruments connected via USB or FireWire
    [Warning : this is an application that uses a lot of resources, if you want to run it on a Mini, you might need more than the standard 512 Megabytes of RAM for smooth operation, and a more powerful Macintosh such as the iMac would definitely be a plus];
    iMovie HD can edit homemade movies (you need a digital camcorder, and to store the video on your Mac, you'll need a large hard disk usch as an external FireWire one) : you can add transitions, rearrange the order of scenes, add text, chapters, etc.
    [in order to edit HD -stands for High Definition - video, you'll need an HD digital camcorder, and probably more processing power than a Mini can offer];
    iDVD, which will be of no help to watch DVDs (there is an application called DVD Player that will do this), but create your own DVDs, with chapters, etc.
    [if you want to burn these DVDs to disc, you must order your Mac with a Superdrive or add an external FireWire or USB DVD burner].
    Apart from the iLife suite, Mac OS X comes with other apps, including Mail (an email client like Outlook Express - just a lot nicer), Safari (a web browser, note that Firefox is also available for the Mac), iSync to synchronize your cell phone or PDA, and many others.
    Coming from the Windows world, I'd say that the Mac platform can do almost everything the Windows platform can, often better. The area where the Mac is inferior to the Windows PC is gaming (a Mac is capable of running games, but Mac versions of games often come long after the PC version and aren't as nice).
    If you choose the Mac, then the Mini is a good, relatively unexpensive Mac, which is very capable and will browse the web, manage you photos and your music well. The iMac is more expensive, but will offer a lot more power, and a Media Center-like application called Front Row (but it's easier to use than on the PC). In both cases, I think everyone would agree to say that it is wise to wait for Steve Job's keynote at the Macworld Expo (on January 10, 9 A.M. PST) : new products are likely to be announced, and even if the new "Macintels" (Mac with Intel processors, like on the PC) aren't released, iLife '06 should be bundled with every new Mac after the Expo (otherwise you'd get iLife '05 and will have to pay if you want to get the latest - the current version is great but if you can get the new version for "free", it won't hurt, will it ?).

  • WARNING! Firewire 400/800 usage precaution of all Mac mini

    I just found one vital notice about using FireWire 400/800 (IEEE 1394a/b) in any Mac mini. Please be careful and read this notice before you buy any External FireWire 400/800 Hard drive enclosure/paddock.
    I believe in FireWire. FireWire is faster and more stable than USB 2.0/3.0. I love FireWire, but industry these days are terrible poor making its peripheral devices, related chips, etc.
    Beware there are many FireWire devices such as 3.5 inches Hard drive Dock and enclosure they claimed to be used with FireWire 400 or even FireWire 800 with options like USB, eSATA. THESE ARE POOR PCB design and POOR chips inside and even POOR Power Supply, DO NOT BUY or USE THESE so-called FireWire HDD Dock or enclosure, it will hurt your Hard-drive definitely, it will make a lot of BAD-Axle (or bad sector) on your HDD. It's nothing wrong with Mac Mini FireWire Chips, it caused by Third-Parties' poor design and tactless attitude, there are lots of brands out there with the same POOR design and inconsiderate issues there.
    The best way to protect your HDD is put them in a dock-able slot with Active 500W above Powered PC, link with FireWire, no Bad-Sector will occur.
    These are real test and real experience from I myself.
    I have tested lots of brands of 3.5 inches HDDs and docks and enclosures, I just save lots of time for you, if you love your data and your HDD, DO NOT USE THESE DOCK or Enclosure.

    The big problem with those Docks or enclosures has a common poor cause, it's the Power Supply, if your 3.5 inches HDD is plugged in a Good 500W powered PC (Such as the brand Enermax Power Supply), the bad-sector will never happen. But it will happen when you use those Docks or Enclosures even with External Power supply. Because those external power current and voltage are not power enough, they didn't test it fully before putting them in market. They thought it was OK if they can boot up the disk, but they are dead wrong. You can boot a HDD doesn't mean the current and the voltage is power enough, it should have supplied with full power to those Standard 3.5 inches HDD, Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba, they have rules about how many voltage and current a HDD should be supplied in operating, but those lousy industries didn't consider these rules, they thought just making their products as long as they can boot it up(power up), but the current and voltage is near the minimum level, a normal current and voltage is needed without margin, it should be at least full 5V or 12V, actually, 5V with 0.5A~1A current and 12V with fully 2A current to safely using a single HDD. But they didn't apply those rules.
    You get the picture. When the current and voltage is not power enough, the HDD will sound alarm and make a big noise, then the surface gets hurt badly and it WILL NEVER be RECOVERED by any means of software or hardware.
    When a HDD has a bad sector, it is a very bad for the future usage, because one bad sector could possibly cause another new bad sector and there is NO WAY to prevent this fate and its course, it is the way HDD works, a bad sector is a sign of short-life warning.
    A fully 5.5V with 1A and 12V with 2A current is the most important thing when you decide to use your HDD in an external way by plug the lousy external power supply. NOT to mention those without external power supply, most of them are 2.5 inches USB-powered external HDD.
    Who's to blame? blame to those lousy third-party industries who care nothing but their short term profit strategy. They just don't care about you. As long as a HDD could boot in the first place, they though it will work well. Lame and irresponsible.
    DO NOT take chances to use a lousy External Dock or enclosure. You will regret anyway.
    Put your 3.5 inches HDD into standard PC slot and cable with GOOD powered supply, at least 500 Watt above and the Power Supply must be Active model (expensive but worth).

    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • Shut down without warning @ 30% , firewire not working , sleep mode problem

    Hello!
    I seem to have a combination of problems in which I believe that somehow they must be related altogether. I would appreciate any advice you may have on the cause of these problems and/or any solutions. Here's a detailed list of the problems:
    1. The computer shuts down without warning at about 30% battery.
    2. The Firewire doesn't seem to work when I try to connect my external HD.
    3. The firewire Bus data is not shown on the System Profiler.
    4. The sleep mode doesn't work; if I press the "sleep" icon, it doesn't respond to it.
    5. When I close the lid and open it again, the screen remains turned off which requires me to force shut down the computer every time. Yet, it seems that its only the screen that does not want to come back up, the unit seems operational.
    6. The sleep light indicator does not pulse when lid is closed, it stays on.
    Actions taken:I have tried resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU) to no avail. Have the battery update. Have reset the PRAM.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Warning:Unable to list FireWire devices.

    My firewire drives don't appear on my computer. in system profiler I get this message Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices. they do work on my laptop with all the same cables.

    I've tried all of that, but still having problems -- cannot access either of my firewire ports with either of my dv cameras. This all happened after I had taken my iMac in for a tune up. Here is the long process to try and get the problem solved. I brought my iMac in to diagnose the problem and they replaced the logic board. (Of course, they didn't have the part in stock, so I had to lug my iMac back home and return in 5 days.) It still did not work, so I called Apple Care, who had me try a lot of different thiings and they he said it was a hardware problem. I brought it back to the Apple Store and one of the "geniuses" plugged in his test drive and my iMac recognized it. He convinced me to buy a new 9-pin cable and try the other firewire slot. That didn't work, either. I called Apple Care again and spent at least an hour on the phone. He said maybe it was my camera. This is not the case, as my PC recognized my dv camera device, using the same firewire cable. They could not resolve the problem and told me to take my iMac to an authorized Apple Certified repair store. Am I the only one still experiencing this problem? Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

  • Firewire problem (the old 'Warning: unable to list firewire devices')

    Hello everyone,
    I am having a very big problem with my 13" Macbook Pro since yesterday. I took it to work and hooked it to a RME Fireface 800 audio interface we have in there, and for some odd reason it didn't recognize the interface. After a few tries, it suddenly came alive. I did the recording session as usual, turned the notebook off and brought everything home. Today, I hooked it to my own RME Fireface 400, and one of the firewire ports on it wasn't working - I plugged on the other and started audio playback. After a few minutes, the audio stopped and the host connection problem led the Fireface has turned on. AFter this, I couldn't get the fireface to be recognize on its own - more on this later.
    I went to system profiler and got a 'WARNING: Unable to list firewire devices' message. I already googled it and it seems I am not the only own having this problem. I already clean PRAM, SMC, ran disk utility to repair disk and disk permissions and nothing has worked. HOWEVER, one external HD (firewire) i have is working just fine on this same firewire interface. I also tried daisy chaining the Fireface to the Hard disk, the later being connected itself to the Macbook, and using this method the interface works. I also tried the interface on another computer and it works just fine - so the problem lies on my Macbook Pro.
    Now, I went to the Console application to see if there was any error messages, and in fact there are plenty. I got a bunch of 'FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in: Bad selfIDs, issuing bus reset (retry 2)' and then 'Missing self ID for node 0!'. Also got some 'Firewire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in: 4403 resets in last 3 minutes'. Also 'SPFWR ERROR: Firewire bus may be unstable. Other Firewire devices may be present.'. Right now, If i plug the interface and look for something on the console, I get nothing. I only get something when I look on the System Profiler.
    So, obviously, there's a problem between my interface and the MBP. Anyone has ANY clue on what to do? BTW, the interface don't work when booting to bootcamp using W7 (it is also not recognized).But like I said, it works when daisy-chained to the hard disk or in another computer.
    Thanks a lot,
    Ivan

    Does the RME device have its own AC power supply brick? If so I would suspect that it is failing and the system is pulling too much juice from the MBP. When you have a drive daisy-chained the interface is able to get the juice it needs from that drive and not from the Mac itself.
    If it has no power supply brick you will have better luck with a powered hub.

  • HT1338 anyone found a solution to firewire bus warning in 10.6.8

    anyone found a solution to firewire bus warning in 10.6.8 ? reset smc pram safe boot still no joy recognising my m-audio fw solo!!!

    What exactly is the warning message?
    It could be anything from a bad FireWire cable, a bad chip set in the Solo to tripped port overload protection in the computer.
    1. Try another FireWire device with your computer to see if it works.
    2. Try the Solo with another computer to see if it is working.
    3. Try resetting the SMC as per > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), but in step #3 wait 5 minutes instead of 15 seconds to allow more time for the FireWire port protection to reset.
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.  <------- 5 minutes
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

    Note that since upgrading to 10.5.2, my M-Audio Firewire 410 does not work and I receive an error message suggesting I re-load the drivers. Have not investigated in detail but I wanted to give a 'heads-up' to others thinking of upgrading. M-Audio do not yet have drivers for Leopard.

    The fw410's not hot swappable anymore - a power down is alway needed if youve plugged it in while osx is running... 10.5.1 you could hot swap and it would work!
    something has changed?
    I think its about time m-audio came out with a new 10.5.x update... we havent had one since April 07 for 10.4.9

  • Firewire drive disconnection warning

    I am on a new Mac Pro with three Gtech drives daisy chained. All software is updated and current. The last couple of days I have come back and awakened the Mac to find the frightening alert about drives having been disconnected and possible data loss. I am guessing it has something to do with the sleep function. How can I avoid this automatic disconnection problem, and what causes it? The cables are also new and came with the drives, which I bought at the Apple Store.

    Disconnect them before sleeping the computer. I have owned 5 macs and have 3 now and in all those years I haven't "slept" one of them as I don't understand the point of bothering since they boot up in 30 seconds.

    This worked perfectly for 75% of the footage but the rest looked like it was playing a jumpy varispeed clip.
    After hours of tests I found only way around it was to export the clip from an editing timebase 59.94 timeline, export as 720p25 and import back in.
    (Trying to do this in the media manager rejected the process)
    Again this either worked 1st time or took up to 5 attempts.
    Eventually all the shots we wanted converted
    I thought I'd share it with all you PAL editors waiting for Apple to pull their finger out and sort out a DVCPROHD 720p25 capture option
    Come on Panasonic sort it out, the footage looks great but your doing us PAL boys no favours

    FCP 5.1.2 has support for PAL DVCPRO HD. 720p50 and 25. Your issue is that you shot 720p60 and are now trying to convert it to PAL. And you are doing so without using any converters.
    You can try the Standards Converter from www.nattress.com (there is a demo available)...barring that you can have your footage transferred at a dub facility.
    But converting NTSC to PAL isn't as simple as draggng it into a PAL timeline.
