I9900 no longer working over Firewire

I just updated to Leopard this afternoon, and went to print something, only to find out that my Canon i9900 is not showing up as an available printer. It shows up and works just fine if I hook it up with USB, but it no longer is detected over Firewire. I prefer Firewire only because of my current shortage of open USB ports.
Now, Apple lists the i9900 as being supported and shipping with drivers in Leopard, but could it be that only USB is available now? When I manually installed the drivers under Tiger, it set up a "network" in the printer utility called "Canon IJ Network". This is still showing up in Leopard, but there is no printer listed.
The printer is turned on, has paper loaded and all ink tanks are full. Permissions are freshly repaired and everything else appears to be in working order. No other programs have been installed since the Leopard upgrade. Any help would be appreciated!

I figured it out myself. To get it to work with Firewire, you need to go to Canon's website and download the latest drivers for Mac OS 10.4. They are older than the current ones in Leopard, but include the necessary Firewire drivers.
After they install, it will be available via Firewire! Hope this helps somebody else out.

Ipod G3 no longer syncs over FireWire

My older Ipod G3 (the one with four buttons above scroll wheel) no longer syncs to iTunes over FireWire. In fact the iPod will not show up at all over FireWire any longer?
It syncs over USB tough. But being G3 it cannot charge over USB and my battery is almost dead so I really need FireWire to work.
* It will charge over FireWire
* I have to differnet FW cables both showing same problem (and they have worked before)
* It sync over USB
* I have reset iPod
* It has worked before... (it's been sitting in the dock connected to my stereo in the living room)
I'm now thinking that either 10.5.3 or 10.5.2 update may have changed something in OS X to get this behaviour?
That is the only thing that has changed since I last tried to update this ipod (that I can think of)

I know someone with a Power Mac G5 and a third gen iPod, and it works as expected under Leopard 10.5.3. We were messing around with it last week (iPod was sitting idle for a while and we got it working). So if it's a problem caused by OS upgrades, it is not a universal problem. If you have an alternate boot drive (or partition), you can see if a fresh install of Leopard (plus updates) makes a difference.
If it syncs over USB and charges over FireWire, you can continues to use it, although you will not be able to charge and sync at the same time with the standard cables. I don't think you will be able Restore from iTunes either, without the FireWire connection.
If you find that this problem is a hardware problem on the iPod's logic board, this special cable with two ends (FireWire and USB) may allow you to charge and sync at the same time.

It's meant for Windows PC users without FireWire (only USB) who want to use the 3G iPod, so they can charge (through FireWire connected to wall adapter) and sync (through USB) at the same time, and use Restore in iTunes.

IPod no longer connects over FireWire

I have a 20 GB iPod with click wheel, which I think I purchased in 2004. I sync it with a Power Mac G5 dual 2.5GHz. I've never been able to sync it over USB, and according to Apple that's a known problem with this iPod and a G5...but up until a week or so ago, syncing over FireWire worked fine.
Now it doesn't. If I plug the iPod into my G5 with its FireWire cable, it starts to charge but the machine doesn't mount it. I get the same result plugging it into my MacBook via FireWire, but it works fine with USB. Initially I thought it might be the cable, but I got a replacement cable and the same thing happened.
Any idea what might be going on?

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode.

Apple TV 4.4.4 Home Sharing no longer working over ethernet

My ATV home network setup has gone from working well to not at all over the last few days and I am trying to troubleshoot it, looking for folks with similar experiences. This appeared to start on or around the time I did the 4.4.4 update, though it could be unrelated, because at that time I also switched my main home sharing server from an old Windows laptop to an old Mac Mini I just aquired for that purpose (which is a sweet little machine for $250 btw).
Situation is, with the ATV connected via ethernet, it no longer sees any home sharing servers, that are on ethernet or wifi. It is also not available for airplay for any devices on wifi. This was working fine with the PC iTunes server on ethernet a few days ago.
If I connect both the ATV and Mac Mini iTunes server via wireless, it all works fine (but performace can suffer). Something has changed, as the ATV on ethernet was also fine to access my macbook on the wireless network a few days ago, but again it doesn't unless the ATV is on wireless too. Finally, the remote app on my iPhone will also only see the ATV if it is on wifi. To me it is like Bonjour is not working over the ethernet connection. I have done a little port prodding, and this appears to be the case, but it is not conclusive.
I have reset, restored to factory and re-updated the ATV, turned home sharing on and off a 100 times, cylcled the servers, reinstalled iTunes, all sorts of stuff.
Honestly, I would more likely put the blame on something weird with the wired vs wifi network routing on my XFinity router/modem, if not for the fact that I haven't touched it for months (save a few power cycles) and I just updated the ATV when this went south. I tried to ask Comcast about this issue, but that was like trying to explain quantum physics to the cat...
I've seen at least one other thread on this forum similar, was wondering if anyone else has had this sort of trouble since the 4.4.4 update?
Thanks

Any news or updates in your Home Sharing problem? I am experiencing similar issues as well. I have turned on Home Sharing in two of my PCs, and my Apple TV 2 cannot see both of my PCs. I have the Remote application installed on my iPad 1, and it suddenly stopped working as well. The Remote application cannot see both of my PCs and Apple TV 2 anymore. I have also noticed that AirPlay does not work anymore as the AirPlay icon does not appear when I am watching videos on my iPad 1.
Home Sharing and AirPlay used to work the day before I have updated my Apple TV 2 to version 4.4.4. I have tried restarting, resetting the settings and restoring the Apple TV 2, and it did not resolve my issue. I have also tried disabling/enabling the Home Sharing in both of my PCs, and it also did not resolve my issue. I am leading to believe that the Apple TV 2 update to version 4.4.4 had something to do with my issue.

Logic Pro no longer works with Firewire 1814 after updating drivers

I was attempting to hook up 2 M-Audio Firewire 1814 units and use them from Logic Pro 7. The older driver I was using would actually crash with this configuration, and so I updated to the latest driver, thinking this might solve the problem.
Well, the M-Audio driver now comes up fine - I can even monitor the signal levels coming from both devices in the associated UI. However, when I launch Logic Pro, I get the following message:
"Logic Pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers."
Although I can arm some of the lower track numbers (I still get this message), I cannot do so with higher track numbers.
Effectively, installing the latest M-Audio driver has broken my version of Logic Pro for whatever reason.
Removing and reinstalling the driver made no difference.
Any thoughts, anyone??

App Store updates no longer works over Bluetooth on iTunes 11

Up throught iTunes 10.7 I could open the App Store on my iPad and select the updates tab and just click update all, to download all the available updates, and a blue bar would grow across the bottom of the app icons as the update download and would say Installing off to the side and then switch to Open once the application was updated. That was GREAT!!!
Now with iTunes 11 and it's horrible interface when I try to update over bluetooth, and click Update all... no blue updating bars and I get a popup that says, "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store" with an "Ok" button.
Somehow I found that it would download them when I plugged my USB into my Mac Pro.
Apple, I hope you are reading this... PLEASE fix iTunes so I can download over Bluetooth, and yes my iPad is Connect to my Mac Pro

Which version of Pages 09 do you have? You don't need higher version than 4.0.4 on Snow Leopatd. Here you can download the iWork 9.0.4 update.

Samsung laser no longer works over AirPort

Since updating to Leopard (10.5.8) I am having trouble with my AirPort Extreme (UFO style) connected Samsung ML-2010. It will sucessfully print one job then no more until I reset the base station. It still works normally when booted from Tiger or my iBook G3 running Tiger.
Help!

I assume that you mean you just updated to 5.3.2 firmware on your AEBSn base station.
I suggest, as the first step, is to do a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
o Power-down the computer(s).
o Power-down the AEBSn.
o Power-down the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 10 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).
If this doesn't solve the problem, then I suggest that you try to downgrade back to 5.3.1. If it doesn't help then the problem wasn't the upgrade but something else ... possibly the configuration settings.

When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads Problem with shortcut. The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes. I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either. I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am going to loose all these now? Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
Thanks

I would copy over the entire thing if you have room. With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account. While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases". If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device. Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!! Enjoy...

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
First you will have to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
Then you can install PSE from scratch.

We recently updated to Lion, prior to this update we could plug in our Sony Mini DV camera using the appropriate firewire and the iMovie would recognize the camera. This function no longer works after the update to Lion. Any suggestions?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

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!

I started with iMovie 10, so I don't have an old iMovie 9 folder to go back to. I guess I'm just stuck waiting for 10.0.3...

IP over Firewire stopped working

with the 10.5.2 update IP over Firewire stopped working. I tried this with 3 machines on my G4 server (still running Tiger) and 2 different Firewire cables. target disk mode still works, so it can't be the cable. I'd appreciate any input & ideas.

I figured this out. Shut down for 20 minutes or so. Turned the Macbook on and firewire IP workd.

How are you trying to listen to it ? You shouldn't need to be online to listen to it, I don't for any of mine. If you've downloaded it directly on your iPad (or synced it from your computer) then it should be in the Music app (you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button in the Music app when you have audiobooks on it) - is that where you are trying to listen to it ?

My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update. Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways.
It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since. I've reset my printers, turned off both computers. Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working. Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
THanks in advance.

Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).
