Is dodgy firewire connection to blame for 'restart' message.

I have been getting the 'you need to restart your computer...' message in the black box, when uploading some footage to IMovie.
I need to know if it could be a software problem, the actual firewire, or like I think- the following problem:
For a while, 2 of the the pins inside the DV firewire connection point on the camcorder (Panasonic Mini-DV, about 5 years old). have been broken off to about half way. It normally works anyway but this time, after a few minutes, IMovie lost the connection. I took the cable out and put it back in- which normally does the trick, but then got the 'restart' message.
Is my computer just freaking out at the corrupt connection.
Need to know what I need to fix.
Cheers.

It's very likely that it's your camcorder is at fault. What you're experiencing is a Kernel Panic and most KP's happen because of hardware.
I'm not sure whether or not repairing the connection in a 5yr. old camcorder is feasible due to cost or lack of parts but it might be something to check out.

Automatically Restart messages stuck in Java Stack.

Hi,
1) Is there a way to restart messages in java stack automatically like in ABAP stack.
2) Alerts are not raised when messages are stuck in Java stack, for the same interface alerts are raised when stuck in ABAP stack any reason for this?
Thanks in Advance.

I don't know if you found already the solution for automatic restart of messages but there is a possibilty of an automatic restart.
you have to open the url: HOST:Port/pimon
-> Configuration and Administration
-> Adapter Engine
-> Background Scheduling
Here you can create new jobs for restarting messages
best regards

I am using iphone 3gs since last 4 days. Till yesterday night it was working fine and i have connected this phone for charging . Morning there was apple logo in the screen and every 1mte (approx) it is blinking. I could not restart the phone.Plz help . I have tried to reset even by pressing sleep and home button but it could not help. Please suggest. Still i have connected for charging .

Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.

Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it?

Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it? Just in case it makes a difference I am trying to hook up an Avid Mbox Pro for Pro tools.

What is the part number and model of Firewire adapter?
I have used them in the past without any problems whatsoever.

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta. It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
Once installed all should be well again.
Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet. There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

Migratiing files from a MacBook Pro to a new iMac via firewire connection

The firewire connection does not appear to work between my older MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 and my new iMac running 10.5.6. I've been trying to use migration assistant and it never gets passed "waiting for old mac to restart". I 've put the target macbook pro into target disk mode by pressing "t" at startup and then using system preferences, start up disk, start disk in target mode. It appears that the iMac just can't see the older mac. Any suggestions to trouble shoot? Very little info on apple's support documentation. I have over 90 GB of data (music, files, photos). I can do this over a network connection but it will take 30 hours just to copy my itunes library.

I would start by doing the following on the MBP:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, turn off both computers. Connect via a Firewire cable. Boot the MBP into TDM. Wait for the TDM screen to appear. Now boot the iMac normally. See if the disk drive of the MBP doesn't appear on the iMac's Desktop.

Firewire connection is not supported. Use USB to transfer songs...

Got message on my ipod saying "Firewire connection is not supported. Use USB to transfer songs" and then it says "Press Center to dismiss"
Restarted the ipod no use!
Connected with my PC no use! (its just charging) does not update of hooked to itunes)
Any ideas how i can fix this??
P.S I have tried cleaning the docking and the cable for any dirt still no use!

Does it give you this error all the time or only when plugged in with the cable?
If it does it all the time, have you checked the dock connector for bent pins?
If it only does it when plugged in, have you tried a different cable?

Firewire connected camcorder

I've got a Sony DCR-TRV20E camcorder (DV tape with firewire out) which I've pulled video before onto my MacBook Pro (now on Snow Leopard). I tried connecting this via firewire over the weekend but it didn't show up in iMovie or system profiler. The firewire interface on the macbook works as I'm backing up to my firewire connected external drive. I tried daisy chaining the camcorder through the external drive too but that didn't work so I suspected the lead but having taken the lead and camcorder to work it connects fine to work's MacBook (leopard).
This makes me think its a software problem at the OS level. Any ideas where I should start looking?

Found out it was a fluke. Same firewire wire worked consistently with work laptop but nor home laptop. It turned out it was down to the angle of the "dodgy" wire. Once I found the right angle it worked consistently for the home laptop too. Bought a new wire to get rid of the problem.

The network connection was lost for the file or the file was modified by another process

the above titled error quit my ID this is very stratnge problem for work please tel me how can i fix the problem i insert the snapshot also for this problem
please help me to fix this problem thank you

I assume that you mean home computer and not a hope computer?!?
Given that you are not on a network or assume you mean at least the file(s) you are working on are not network-based, one other possibility comes to mind.
Are your documents on an external hard drive, connected by either USB or IEEE1394 (Firewire) connections? If so, such drives are sometimes configured to go into “sleep mode” after a certain amount of time of inactivity where that inactivity time may range from a few minutes to hours. A “sleep mode” essentially keeps the disk drive's controller electronics alive, but powers down the rotating disk completely. When you attempt to subsequently access such a drive again, the drive exits the sleep mode and the rotating disk is restarted. Depending upon the disk model, age, and condition of the disk drive, such start-up can take upwards of 20 to 30 seconds in the worst case (I've personally seen this!). What may be happening is that the underlying disk device driver or the operating system may report this condition back to the application (in this case InDesign) as a failed or timed-out operation. InDesign doesn't know whether a “disk operation” is to a local disk drive or a network drive and as such, could yield a message about network failure.
Two notes: (1) Internal disk drives also can have a sleep mode as part of a “energy saver” configuration and (2) Disk drives with a sleep mode can also be configured to never go into sleep mode.
My advise would be to check you computer's energy saving settings to see if disk drives are shut down by the operating system during a certain period of inactivity. If so, disable that. If not and especially if you are using an external drive, the disk manufacturer, such as Seagate, Western Digital, etc., typically have stand alone utilities for low level disk formatting, diagnostics, and also for setting of disk sleep modes.
Let us know if this is what may be behind your problems.

Error message: "FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs"

I recently purchased a Monster iCarPlay to play my ipod in my car. I have had no problems until recently. Upon disconnecting my ipod from the iCarPlay wire, I the following message popped up: "FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided." It also prompts me to click the center button to dismiss the message. However, I'vd followed these instructions, and the message does not go away. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this problem? Or is it anything to worry about?

That is the message you see when you attach a 5th gen iPod to a computer using FIREWIRE. so... i suspect that for some reason, the 3rd party iCarPlay device must be confusing the iPod into thinking it is being docked or attached to a data line of some type and not simply charging.
As for the sudden occurrence of the message, it does seem strange however, keep in mind that you are using a 3rd party device that may not be supported or endorsed by Apple at all.

Haven't been able to connect to itunes for 3 days. Says connection error but im connected to the internet

I haven't been able to connect to itunes for 3 days. It says theres a connection error, yet I am connected to the internet. I have redownloaded itunes and still get this message.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Can I download a DV tape to Premier Elements without a firewire connection?

I recently purchased a new HD camcorder as well as Premier Elements 10. One of the tasks that I'd like to accomplish via Premier Elements is to download my old DV tapes to my hard drive, which the software seems to support. The instruction manuals and video tuitorials mention that this transfer / capture must generally be done with a firewire connection (which my computer does not have). However, my new HD camcorder downloads via a USB connection without a problem. I tried to download from the DV camcorder using a USB connection and (sure enough) Premier Elements wouldn't recognize the old camcorder. Does anyone know why is this a problem / what the compatibility issue is? Is there a way to download the DV tapes to my hard drive without having to purchase and install a new firewire connection to my existing computer and buying a new firewire cord?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

For Capture of tape in PrE, you will need FW. If your computer does not have FW, then you have a couple of choices:
Add a FW (IEEE-1394) card
Add a FW connection to a laptop via either a PCMCIA, or ExpressCard
Good luck,
Hunt
