Lacie Extreme mounts with USB and FW800 but not FW400

Shows as USB and FW800 only on Powerbook G4 1.67 15" 10.4.9 2Gb
I'm not being dismissive but I have explored all obvious options;
Drive mounts OK FW400 on another Mac with the same cable.
Shows in System Profiler on all three interfaces on other Mac.
FW CD writer exhibits identical symtoms.
Any ideas please?
Cheers

Hi,
I've just bought a brand new LaCie rugged 80GB USB 2.0 hard drive. It came with 2 cables. One for power from the powerbook and the other to transer data. The manual said "no drivers or installation is required. The drive should mount in a few seconds after plugging it in." 3 attempts - LaCie just doesn't mount. I have no idea what to do. Please HELP!!
Thanks

4s Hotspot tethering only works with USB and BT but not with wifi

Hi,
XP sp3 - iPhone 4s with ios 5.0.1 - on Three one plan
Tethering with wifi works to a friends Samsung phone, wifi on the pc confirmed working with the apple store wifi, tethering with USB and BT works with good connection speeds on my laptop but when i try to tether with wifi it connects to the laptop at 54mbps and all appears well, even claims to have received a small amount of data packets, but no data comes to any browser. The iPhone reports 1 connection to the hotspot and stays connected with a non-pulsing blue bar after the first minute.
In the PC i have tried this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-order-of-network-protocol -bindings
I've deleted my firewall (zone alarm) completely and turned off windows firewall to go naked surfing for a second even though they don't cause a problem with USB tethering, makes no difference
I've deleted the network connection numerous times
"repaired" connection
dissabled and enabled the wifi
turned off the wireless with a hardware switch and on again
disabled bluetooth
rebooted many times
reinstalled itunes (latest)
loads more things i can't remember
This is causing me a nightmare. I've been through everything i can find online, been to the Apple store genius bar (genius appeared to have sub zero knowledge / interest as it involved a MS machine), been to a Three shop (legally not allowed to touch my PC apparently) and been to a Sony shop (laptop make, not their fault if my iphone doesn't work). All very frustrating.
Please help if you can! Any suggestion will be tried unless it involves sledge hammers or lakes, and only then for a few more days at most.

Turned off bluetooth on phone, turned off hotspot and on again, phone asked if i wanted to turn on bluetooth or go with USB and wifi only, said usb/wifi only. Still nothing. Rebooted PC and iphone. Turned on hotspot, pc seemlessly connects to network, still no data comes.
One odd thing is zone alarm asks me to "select a security zone for the wireless network at ip address: *******.0" every time and doesn't seem to remember the setting over sessions. When i get the status of the connection the ip address is *****.2 and default gateway is same ********.1 Not sure if that's anything.
Also getting a javascript error about an undefinded component (trustcheckermozilla) since i updated zonealarm but as i said even completely uninstalling zonealarm made no difference. I'll update firefox as well but tried with IE and still no data.

IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
- Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
- PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
What works well?
- All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
- iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
- iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
What doesn't works?
My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
- Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
- iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
- iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mac Pro USB and FW800 ports not working

I've been reading tons of forum entries in the Apple Support Community and in other forums. Nothing seems to answer quite what's going on with my Mac Pro Tower.
Here are the details and steps taken up to now:
- I'm running a Mac Pro Tower (MacPro 3,1, 2x 2,8GHz Quad Core, Early 2008 model), currently running OS 10.6.8
- I moved before the holidays in December and left my computer unplugged for over month while away. Didn't have any issues before the move.
- up until the last couple of weeks, I had actually been running on Leopard (yes, I'm a luddite!, please, no teasing )
- I was trying to update my ipod touch's iOS and kept getting errors preventing it from completing the process. At first I thought it was an ipod app causing the issue after having read a few threads on that topic...
- Also, on startup, the Mac started searching for a Bluetooth keyboard, of which I don't have, and would not detect my usb keyboard. I would disconnect and reconnect the keyboard and the majority of the time, the Mac would then recognize my USB keyboard.
- I decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard, which didn't help with the iPod update. I did not do a clean install.
- Then I noticed that my USB stick wasn't working and tried it in all the usb ports (except the ones on the keyboard)
- Also, I had removed and then reinstalled printer and scanner drivers for my All-in-one printer. After this I kept getting constant communication errors between the mac and the printer via the usb port, although I was able to print a test page.
- I've used Hardware Test once which didn't detect any issue.
- I reset the SMC
- I reset the PRAM, and for a few seconds I was able to read from my USB stick, then never again, even after another PRAM reset.
- I've cleaned the whole inside of the computer and checked for loose cables. Cables are in so tight it's so hard to loosen them!
- I now tested all the ports:
     ∞ the 2 front and 3 back USB ports are unresponsive to my usb key and to my VoyagerQ dock
     ∞ the front and back FW800 ports are unresponsive to my VoyagerQ dock
     ∞ However, the keyboard works in any fo the back ports and my USB stick is recorgnized by the USB port of the keyboard.
     ∞ I also plugged in my Logitech webcam into the keyboard and it works there but not in any other port.
     ∞ When I plug in USB powered speakers into any of the ports, they work fine
     ∞ And the FW400 ports are also working fine with my VoyagerQ dock
- a few times, including once today, my mac restarted by itself. The times before today, I thought it was because I was sort of moving back the computer in place, but today I was nowhere near the computer.
So what does this all mean? Should I do a clean install of the Mac OS? Or is it a problem with my Logic Board?
Any insight please would be helpful. I had Apple Care and missed the reminder to renew it so I really hoping not to spend more money than necessary.

Thanks Grant,
The battery is a start and something inexpensive to replace.
I did do a PRAM reset (command + option + P + R) and was able to hear the chime 4 times. I tried resetting it a number of times over the past week, as well as yesterday with no success in reviving the USB ports. But isn't it weird that my USB powered speakers work by plugging them in any USB port (with the mini jack pugged in the back or front earphone plug)?
I did not use the USB ports on the keyboard until yesterday, so that is not the cause of the other USB and FW800 ports failing. But I'll follow your suggestion and not use them except for the mouse.
Another weird thing that happened yesterday, I have 16GB of RAM and I spent all day trying to troubleshoot a RAM issue that is magically fixed after leaving the computer on overnight to do an extended Hardware Test. The issue was:
- Only 8 RAMS were being recognized
- a red LED light appeared on the top riser
- first I thought I had isolated the faulty RAM bar, and then a second one
- Then going pair by pair again, I no longer saw the LED light
- Put back all 8 bars, only 8 GB of RAM recognized
- Left computer overnight running Hardware test (said it took almost 3 hours, with no errors)
- Now all 16 GB are recognized!
Thanks again for the tips

IPod works with USB 1.0 but not 2.0?

I'm trying to get my cousins iPod Shuffle working for her but I'm not having much luck...
When I plug it in to any port on the computer, I get "USB Device Not Recognized" and it shows up as an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
However, if I disable "Intel(R) 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24DD" in Device Manager it immediately detects the device and it'll work with iTunes.
What do I need to do to get this to work with USB 2.0? What could be causing the problem? Thanks!

No, the fact that they haven't needed to update the drivers means they work perfectly well.
If they work perfectly well, how come they cannot pick up the iPod (which has nothing to do with iTunes)?
Also, how do you know they haven't needed to?
More likely they simply haven't even looked at them to see if they need updating.
Oh, and from the first post...
"However, if I disable "Intel(R) 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24DD" in Device Manager it immediately detects the device and it'll work with iTunes."
But enough of this.
Good luck with your problem.
Hope you get it fixed.

Left most usb port works with usb 3 devices but not with usb 2 devices

Can someone enlighten me on this issue? I have a MBP mid 12 that seems to have issues with usb 2 devices such iPods, HHDs, etc. The same port works fine with usb 3 devices. I have tried several solutions but not avail such as resetting the SMC, PROM, disconnecting the battery and reinstalling OS X from scratch. Is there anything Im missing? I still don't believe is a hardware issue but something wrong in the firmware...

Memory Stick works with G4 and G3 but not G5 iMac

I have a memory stick that connects correctly with a G3 iBook and G4 iMac but not a G5 iMac. When plugged into a G5 USB port, the memory stick appears on the desktop but not the Finder. Doubleclicking on the desktop icon generates a Finder window in which the memory stick appears in the second column from the left along with the other icons in the top half of the leftmost column. Clicking on the icon for the memory stick in that Finder window fails to open it. The File menu has a item for ejecting the memory stick, but ejection does not result. I have also tried without success to drag the icon to the trash. So I just physically remove it, which produces a message saying the device was not properly removed.
Any ideas for enabling this memory stick (which has admittedly been through the wars) to work with the G5 iMac? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, Charles.
The G5 keyboard is Bluetooth so I've been plugging the memory stick into the back of the machine.
I've repaired permissions on the G5. I tried to repair the memory stick in Disk Utility but elicited only the spinning beachball. As I was typing this I realized I hadn't tried repairing the disk (i.e., the memory stick) on another computer. I did, and after a few seconds the screen said no repairs necessary.
The memory stick did eject the first time I plugged into the G5 after that. But the other problems remained. And then when I plugged it back in, it no longer ejected electronically. So I'm back where I was.

20" Cinema display with USB and firewire ports not working

I have a new 20" display and was wondering why my USB and fire wire ports at the back are not working. I have an external drive that is powered hooked up to the fire wire port and a no powered piano keyboard to a usb port.
Any help please

Verify that the display’s USB and FireWire cables are firmly plugged in to the
computer. Do they show in your profiler?
Try different ports in the computer.
Verify that your computer ports are working with other known problem free device.

Ripped 20 CD's into iTunes, syncs with phone and iPod, but not iPad

So, maybe sync isn't the right word. All three devices will sync, but the songs ripped from CDs only appear onmy iPhone 5 and my iPod touch, but not on the Ipad. I have recently purchased songs from iTunes, and they do appear on the iPad. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help. Oh, btw, I have the newest iPad, right before they went to the Lightning connector

Will work fine with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? Help!

Hi, I have installed my ipod on windows XP PC and it works fine with my USB 1.1 ports, however when i try to use my usb 2.0 ports all i get is
(a) the noise suggesting someting has been plugged in
(b) in device manager it says USB mass storage device wiht a yellow exclamation mark beside it. (it is enabled by the way)
(c) on the ipod screen it says 'ok to disconnect'
please i can't cope with usb 1 transfer rates and i dont have any spare slots to fit a firewire card before someone suggests it.
thanks in advance!

Did you add the USB 2.0 devices after installing iTunes and the iPod? If so uninstall and reinstall. If you are in a position to disable the USB 1.1 device (just while you reinstall) that might be worth trying.

ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

Hi there,
Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

By recognizing they are seperate characters. You will probably want to use codes to access these characters.
\uFFFF where FFFF are 4 hexadecimal digits
Matches a specific Unicode code point. Can be used inside character classes.
\u00E0 matches à encoded as U+00E0 only. \u00A9 matches ©

Ipod works with USB 1.1, but not USB 2.0 (30GIG)

Has anyone had this issue? I plug my 30GIG iPod into a USB 2.0, and it says updating, do not disconnect for what seems like an eternity. Eventually, it pops up saying the ipod appears to be corrupted, restore to factory settings? I respond ok, and then it fails to restore. Tried multiple USB 2.0's, same thing.
Next, I pluged into my USB 1.1, and it pops up itunes (latest version) almost immediately, and shows the ipod, and allows me to xfer tunes immediately.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. I've tried reinstalling USB2.0 drivers, iTunes, iPod but cannot get it to work. It just shows up in the device manager as 'USB Mass storage device' with an exclaimation mark next to it. I've tried to update the drivers for the 'USB MAss storage device', however it just says that I've already got the most updated drivers for the device. I've succumbed to the 1.1 for now, but would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this situation!

TS4036 I cant access my Itune store from my PC. I have entered my ID but still can't access the store. I have tried removing it and re-installing it but to no avail. I can access the Itunes store with Iphone and Ipad but not my PC.

I can't access my itune store through my PC. I have tried removing and reinstalling Itunes,but to no avail. I also tried accessing trough I cloud on my pc but it say apple ID not correct but my Apple ID works on all my other devices such as Iphone 4s and Ipad 2. If I go to Icloud.com I can access my account but can't get to Itune store.
Help
Thanks

The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
See if that makes a difference...

2 macs with mp3s and iMatch but not sure if working

Hi friends,
I have both a Macbook and an iMac full of music, different. I am signed up with iMatch.
-Does iMatch automatically upload into my whatever cloud I for with iMatch, the new mp3s I buy or rip of my CDS?
-Many new mp3s imported bought (from Amazon) on my laptop do not show up on the iMac. I though they would as I though they are uploaded by itunesMatch?
A bit confused
thanks

iTunes -> Store menu -> View My Account
Sign into the account under which you redeemed the cards and go to the Purchase History. That will show you everything you purchased via that account.
Regards.
