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.

Firewire stops working suddenly

I'm using an iPod Photo, most recent versions of iTunes and iPod software. Took the iPod on a plane to Canada. When I arrived, the library was gone. It still showed that there was 20 gigs on the iPod, but it was as if factory default settings had taken over. Have since restored ipod, recopied library. problem is: now iPod will charge by firewire (plug icon appears), but iPod will not sync via firewire. It acts normally using the usb cable, but as I don't have usb 2.0, it is really slow and annoying and I want to go back to firewire. What is happening? Any ideas?

How do you know?
What I mean is, you say "the Firewire has stopped working", but you don't say how you came to that conclusion. Have you tried a variety of devices which are known to work on other machines?
If you have just one Firewire device, that device may have failed (coincidentally). If it is something other than a DV camera or a hard disk, it may require an updated driver for use with 10.4.8.
With your firewire device(s) connected, can you see them in System Profiler? If they show up there, but not in the application, you don't necessarily have a Firewire problem.
Sometimes, Firewire ports apparently "die". Try turning off the machine, unplugging EVERYTHING from it, waiting 10 minutes, then plugging in everything again. This is unlikely to help you if your problem is apparent on 3 machines.

Firewire stops working

I have updated 3 - G4 733mhz , 1 Mac Mini and 1 17" flat panel Imac with the newest 10.4.8 and security updates. The Firewire has stopped working in all of the above. Any help or suggestions?
(Yes, I've wiped and did a clean install and zapped the PRAM on the 733 and the 17" Imac)

Firewire stopped working

My Firewire external hard drive and DVD burner have recently stopped working. Actually, I'm sure they work fine, but I can't connect them to my computer. I recently moved, and before the move everything was working fine, and after the move my computer wouldn't recognize anything I connected to it via Firewire cable. The external drive is 150GB from Acomdata, which I've had for roughly a year; and the DVD burner is from LaCie, which I've had for two weeks.
The external drive has a USB port in addition to a Firewire one, and it works if I connect it with a USB cable. But the DVD burner only has Firewire ports on it. I know the burner isn't broken, because a light comes on when the power source is plugged in.

One thing to try is to turn off the iBook and remove the power adaptor and the battery and let it sit for 30 minutes or so. Sometimes the ports "reset" if you do this.
Good luck!

[SOLVED] Audio over HDMI stopped working? (Intel/i915)

My audio over HDMI was working fine until recently and I can't figure out what's stopped it from working... My configs haven't changed and aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav gives no errors, but no sound can be heard. There are no errors/messages in dmesg either.
My graphics card uses the Intel i915 chipset (Asus laptop).
Config stuff:
/etc/asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
aplay -l:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Any ideas?

Yeah I checked and everything is fine... this is really weird!
I've tested audio over HDMI on windows, so I know it's not the cable/HDMI port. I've looked through my pacman.log (I tend to update daily) and the only thing I can see which could affect it is a kernel update and intel-dri. I tried downgrading those and re-tested, to no avail.
I also installed pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa before it stopped working. This could have broken it, but I've since uninstalled them and replaced /etc/asound.conf with my original, so that rules those out; unless there is something else that pulse could have broken?
Cheers

NJ3 - Firewire stopped work

Hi,
the firewire port of my trusted Jukebox suddenly stopped working. I was in the middle of uploading some files when suddenly the player froze. Since then I have not been able to transfer any songs via firewire to the player - neither by using the Notmad Explorer nor by using Media Source. The tranfer starts but suddenly stops or the player freezes and there is nothing transfered to the player.
Resetting, rebooting, cleaning up, reinstalling the latest firmware all have not helped.
USB still works (but of course very slowly).
Has anyone have had any similiar problems?

Only those with faulty firewire ports I would think. If you want to get it repaired you'll have to contact support. I assume you've checked with another cable?

Firewire stopped working on iMac G5

I have 2 firewire external drives on my iMac G5. Today, after a reboot, they stopped showing up. I moved them over to another mac and both came up just fine, so I'm sure the drives and external cases are good. I then connected one using USB (the other one doesn't have USB). It's working ok with USB. The problem is I need Firewire for other stuff (video camera and other camera hook up), plus I prefer to use firewire for the external drives.
When I go to System Profiler and click on Firewire, it shows "Firewire bus:" and that is it. Any ideas? This it a bad logic board? Is it possible that the firewire circutry got disabled? Can I fix it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try one of these:
Zapp the P-RAM:
After the startup tone, hold down <commandd><option><p><r> until 3 additional startup tones are heard, then release the 4 keys.
Open Firmware reset:
After the startup tone, hold down <command><option><o><f> until the text screen is visible. When text can be entered, type the following commands, followed by the <return> key (there are no space characters in each command):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all (the Mac will boot up after this command is entered)

OS 2.1.0.1032: internet over bridge stopped working after upgrade

Hi
Before the upgrade to 2.1.x, I was able to connect the bridge to my BB phone and then use the regular browser to connect to the internet (NOT the Bridge Internet Browser). I could also send and receive emails with my internet email accounts and -some- (only some, not all) applications also had internet access over the bridge. This is now no longer possible/working - I get a "Your BB Smartphone is unable to establish a connection to the destination server".
I have upgraded the Bridge on my phone, and all BB mail, calendar etc works fine, including the new SMS function, but I really miss not being able to do my other emails on the move and having to go to the Bridge Browser (not a big deal, but it means managing 2 sets of bookmarks.
The only other change is that I also received a new phone from my company, a BB Bold 9900 (previously a 9700) with OS 7.1 bundle 1149 (v7.1.0.342).. My BB phone bridge version is 2.1.0.23
Any thoughts/advice?
EDIT: Should this work this way at all i.e. can anyone else access internet emails etc when bridged or was my previous experience a fluke?
I apologize if this has been answered on one of the many other threads - i did do a search but nothing turned up-
Thanks
Thomas

Have done the vram and pmu reset but firewire still not responding. Otherwise everything is running normal including two USB port. Can anyone help please!!

If the G4 has FW/800 ports it won't boot OS9.

VPN over FIOS stopped working

Running AnyConnect Cisco VPN on my employer-issued laptop. Has always been working fine, until several days ago.
Once I click Connect, it shows "Contacting (the connection)", and then after a few seconds, it goes straight to this error: "IPSec is VPN connection is terminated due to authentication failure or timeout." It never even prompts me for logon credentials.
I also have another computer issued by my client , which also runs Cisco VPN client. It failed at the same time.
Right now, I am using MIFI card (Verizon Jetpack), and VPN works fine on both computers.
My company's helpdesk worked with me to try a few things, to avail. I've also rebooted the router. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks for the reply. They did not ask me to run that test.
After not trying the connection over the weekend and Monday, I tried again Tuesday night on my company's computer. The problem seems to have gone away. Haven't tested the other computer, but sure hope whatever caused it is there no more.
Thanks again for your help.

Firewire bus stopped working

Hello
This afternoon my iMac G5 firewire stopped working. I was using seven firewire drives and one firewire audio interface a MOTU 896. I have used this config for about three months with no problems. I was in Reason and then I booted Logic pro (also used IAC rewire between the two programs before) that's when the fun started. Logic froze on mid-boot. Then reason locked up as well. At that point on reboot my iMac no longer saw any of my firewire devices.
System Profiler shows nothing on the Firewire bus.

This appeared in MacFixIt yesterday:
+MacInTouch Reader+
+I have a three-year-old iMac G5 that had a problem since I bought it that I've only just got to the bottom of - its fans would start up (loudly) about thirty seconds after I shut it down. Nearly every time. I think I disabled it from going to sleep pretty soon after I got it, but I vaguely remember it not recovering from sleep and the fans coming on randomly. Eventually I also developed a power supply problem where the Mac wouldn't start up first time, and when it did start up would then switch itself off with no warning (replacing the power supply did fix that problem, at least).+
+Anyway, to cut a long story short, the problem with the Mac crashing (effectively) on shut down followed by the weird, random fan-coming-on thing, was only solved when I replaced my USB (D-Link) modem with one that uses Ethernet instead (a Netgear DG834).+
+I just want to spread the word. It drove me insane for three years and now I'm finally happy. I know my particular, specific problem was weird and maybe quite rare, but if you're using a USB modem with your iMac, maybe borrow something different from a friend for a while and see if it helps.+
The firewire problem may be due to faulty RAM, try running Rember and see if that finds any problems.

I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?

Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

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.

HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.
