Latest OS X update makes firewire device disappear!

I applied the latest update to OS X and now it doesn't see my outboard disk drive that's firewire. How can I make it see the device?  "About this mac" says unknown firewire bus.

I have upgraded to Mavericks 10.9 and all of my external disk drives, all of which use Firewire, still appear and function normally.
Could maybe provide more details so that we can help you?

  • Map update makes 'share location' disappear!?

    I have a Nokia X6. I used to be able to click 'share location' ("dela plats" in Swedish) in the map section and thus put a link to a map at Facebook so everybody could see where I were.
    I just made an update of the maps the other day, and 'share location' is not there anymore. How come?
    How do I get it back? It's useful.

    It seems, however, there's a new function called 'check in' on the maps menu, which can be used in a similar way. Is this meant to replace 'share location'?
    I expect that is correct but not a feature that I would ever have occasion to use:

  • Disappearing Firewire Device

    Since the day I got my iMac (which means the day it came out) I have been using an external firewire hard drive for my data. Today, after a few hours away from the machine, I came back to find that the icons for the drive (it's partitioned in two) were gone. "Huh?" I say, and reboot. Same thing. I turn the machine off and on again... same thing. I repair permissions... same... check the system profiler... no sign of firewire devices. I turn everything off for 5 minutes or so, plus the firewire cable into the other firewire port on the back of the computer.. and my data drive is back.
    Anyone else run into something like this? Needless it to say, it makes me very uncomfortable to think that my data might disappear permanently at any moment.

    It's a 200 GIG Maxtor encased in a Macally PHR-100AC.
    Everything's run fine for the past 24 hours... so, knock on wood. I still feel uncomfortable that drives would suddenly disappear in the first place, though.

  • Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

    I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

    Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

  • Just installed the latest iTunes software update and the extra images i had for my albums on iTunes have disappeared...Help?

    Just installed the latest iTunes software update (iOS 5.0.1) on my MacBook Pro, and the extra images i had placed on my album covers in the selected item box have disappeared, leaving just one image per track. Any ideas on how to restore would be most appreciated...

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?

  • I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • I wish to make a complaint re Latest Flash Player Update

    The latest Flash Player update installed Chrome on my PC without asking if I wanted it and without my consent.  This is illegal in Australia and likely other countries too (eg USA).

    Michael,
    First, the update I witnessed installed McAfee Security Scan, NOT Google toolbar. But you're absolutely right. Installing it with no "opt out" is far less than what I would call a "good practice". That's the reason I DO update all my software, but I do it "manually". I never suggested "not upgrading" or not updating, but rather recommended what I do myself. I have always had a serious problem with people who tell me to do something they would never consider doing, so I don't make a habit of it myself. Yesterday alone I updated AIR and Flash Player on four systems... manually.
    I doubt I'll be able to restore your trust in Adobe. ONLY YOU can do that.  As to your complaint, you originally indicated that said behavior was "illegal" and I believe I did a pretty darn good job of explaining why it isn't, because you click the "update" button, regardless of the reason, and your doing so (again, regardless of the reason) implies (if not proves), consent on your part. That's a legal point, even though it doesn't address trust or ethics at all.
    When I was at Intuit, we reviewed two separate lawsuits during training on EULA compliance, one was a "Class action" filed by a state Attorney General, alleging that Intuit had installed what amounted to a "rootkit" (Google C-Dilla for more info) on potentially millions of systems without user consent, for the implementation of "anti-piracy" software in TurboTax in 2002. I went to work there in 2003 and I personally issued more than 300 replacement CD-Rs (along with apology letters) that didn't have the C-Dilla on them.
    While the court ruled that the software itself caused many problems for the people who were involved in the suit, and that Intuit was liable for damages related to the repair or replacement of affected systems, the ruling magistrate was VERY CLEAR in pointing out that in installing the original software, and "accepting the end user licesne agreement", whether they actually read the whole thing (or any of it at all) beforehand, indicated their consent to install any and all software associated with such agreement. Therefore, the liability was severely limited, and NO puntiive damages could be applied. Several hundred people got free repairs and a few even got new computers, but Intuit made the decision not to use C-Dilla afterward; it was never ordered by the court.
    TurboTax is paid software, and Flash Player is free, and C-Dilla was proven to be far more destructive than McAfee, Norton or Google bundled software (it rendered many systems useless), but the principle established by the court was that no one is forced to use TurboTax, and therefore not all of the liability could fall on the developer. Similarly, no one is forced to use Flash Player, or Adobe Reader. That hardly justifies installing third party apps in an update, with no opt out, but it still requires a user initiation to install a "bundled" update, and there ARE options to avoid the bundled software, which are posted in these forums DOZENS of times daily.
    As I pointed out, I know of at least one detailed report that was submitted regarding this. It was my intention in reporting it, that someone would make changes that allow users to opt out of unwanted installs when all they're trying to do is update software they see as necessary to get full use and/or enjoyment out of their personal or work computer. Obviously that hasn't happened. I'm not endorsing the practice, or making excuses for it. I already made my position clear on "unwanted" software.
    However, I also pointed out that the practice of "bundling software" is industry wide and it ISN'T going to end anytime in the foreseeable future, hence the links I provided and the advice to manually update. Believe me, I fully understand your frustration and I'm on your side. I have to be realistic, though. I have systems with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1. One of the Win 8 systems is my laptop I use when meeting with clients. I can't afford it to be down because of an anti-virus conflict, and I refuse to use Google Chrome on it because of the massive resource consumption of Google's excuse for a browser. But I've had to make changes in the way I do things to avoid it, because I'm not going to force a company the size of Adobe to change (as my unheeded report has proven).
    I'm a freelance web designer, not an employee here. Thanks to the U.S. economy, I have a lot of time to help people out here, so I do. I'm an end user like you, only I have several years of software development and troubleshooting experience. I don't particularly enjoy answering the "why did they install (insert bundled software name here) on my system?" questions. Usually there's no convincing the original poster and subsequent posters that there IS a way around it. Most of them want their computers and ALL software companies to do everything for them, and do it without ever inconveniencing them with knowing it was done, and THEN they complain when something IS installed without their explicit approval. That's a hard case to argue.
    Maybe (I'm not holding my breath) enough complaints like yours will eventually persuade Adobe to NOT install bundled apps with updates, and no way to say no to it. Meantime, I do things the long way because I have to, to keep my systems running like I want them

  • Firewire camera disappear after reboot

    Hello all,
    I've the following system configuration:
     - 4 AVT guppy 033B firewire cameras (speed: 200 Mbps; Shutter: 250; trigger: mode0)
     - Adlink SBC 852
     - 1GB Ram
     - CPU DUAL CORE E2200 socket 77
     - firewire cable: 10 m
     - firewire board: PCI dual ohci 1.1 IEEE-1394
     - Windows SP2
    Sequence of events:
    1 - Fresh windows XP home edition installation
    2 - Computer drivers
    3 - Firewire cameras installation
    4 - Our  application installation
    5 - testing. check if it's all ok
    6 - Power off and wait some minutes
    7 - turn on and test again
    This steps where made in one day - all ok ..... In the next day:
    8 - Turn on the system and check. And fine check of the system results.
    9 - At 12:00 all seems to be ok and for delivering the system i decided to do one more test, rebooting the system.
    10 - Error - cameras doesn't appear on MAX and had a controller exclamation mark on the device manager.

  • Bug in Latest Mavericks Security Update???

    I just installed the very latest Mavericks Security Update as instructed. It was about 500+ MB and took 20 or so minutes to upload and then required a restart to complete installation, which was done. After restart you are asked if you wanted to login to iCloud, etc. the MacBook worked just fine. I shut down normally.
    Several hours later upon boot up I first got a "security" warning about only using Apple software. It asks for acknowledgement = ok.
    After rebooting the Apple logo shows as normal and the circular progress wheel spins but it never gets to login screen.
    What is going on Apple???
    Any suggestion fellow Mac users????

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 10
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 11
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 12
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Is it fair that apple make your device out of date

    It really is not right that apple can make your device outdated when there is nothing wrong with it.
    I have 2 ipads ones, 1 ipad two,  1 iphone four, 1 iphone two, and 1 ipod touch two.
    The Ipod touch and the iphone 2 work fine but are becoming more and more useless because nearly all apps are incompatible. 4
    why cant you download older versions of the apps that are compatible with your device?
    I always update to the latest operating software that it will "allow" but this only out dates the devices as you can't update to an iOS system that is compatibles with most apps, Most apps will not upload to old iOS even though i am on the most update one i can get.
    This is apples way of making you buy new devices and making yours obsolete!! not fair, not right!
    I want to download BBC iplayer, a basic everyday app but this is incompatible, i can go on Safari but this defeats the object of the apps.
    COME ON APPLE i am a good customer not happy, will all my many other devices soon be "made" out of date and obsolete soon?

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    Regarding update the iPa 1, the iPad does not have enough memory available to the OS for a higher iOS version. While the iPad 1 and 4G iPod touch both use the same A4 processsor and 256 MB of memory, the more pixals on the iPad meands that less memory is avaialbe for the OS since the display uses system memory

  • Using Firewire devices results in desktop stuttering

    Firewire traffic is causing desktop performance to decline. On my Mac Mini (late 2009, 4 GB RAM) even slow amounts of firewire traffic is causing bad spaces performance (stuttering while moving from space to space) and jerky window movement. I have tested this with several cables and 2 different firewire devices. Device 1, a Canon HDV camcorder, is bringing the window movement to stutter when imovie is detecting the connection and showing the import screen (no transfer initiated, not even playback). Device 2, a Western Digital My Book Studio with FW800 ports, is making the desktop jerky even if it is only playing a mp3 file.
    Notes:
    Spotlight was disabled on the mentioned fw800 hdd. Disk activity monitor shows normal operation, very low cpu workload. The system log also does not show any suspicious messages.
    USB devices like harddisks do not trigger this behaviour. The mentioned fw800 disk also has an USB port. Connecting the device using USB does not slow down desktop performance, even when transfering large files.

    Thanks for you suggestions. I tried them out (and some more).
    Here are the results:
    You can test to see if the Virtual Memory system is getting overworked by running Utilities Activity >Monitor, click on the System Memory tab and look at PageOuts and PageIns.
    I kept an eye on the virtuel memory for a while now. Seems to be fine, even after hours of my usual working procedure there are virtually no page outs.
    But if your ratio is good (10% or less), then I'm would suspect instead that you need to re-install a >full combo update of the latest version of OSX.
    I reinstallad the 10.6.4 Combo Update. No difference.
    Then I installed a fresh copy of OSX on the firewire drive. Running an unpatched OS from the drive is not bad in regards of system response time (actually it's pretty good). But the desktop jerkyness is present all the time.
    Then (after switching back to my internal drive again) I stopped keeping an eye on window movement etc. and tried out some games. The results: There is a major difference in performance when the fw drive is working in the background in contrast to an usb2 drive (or even the same fw drive attached using usb). When I am playing the game (in this case it was an opengl port of Doom) there is virtually no performance penalty when I am playing the game while transfering a huge file to an usb2 drive in the background. But when I am transfering a file to the FW drive, there is huge drop in frames per second (roughly 25 - 30 %).
    I am wondering if this has anything to with fact that firewire is using dma access to the system memory (in contrast to usb) an there is some sort of congestion on the memory bus. Especially since my issues are linked to gpu performance and the 9400M in the Mini uses shared memory.

  • Unable to type in password if firewire devices are connected

    I've just upgraded to Lion, and have this odd problem.  When Lion boots on my Mac Mini, it prompts to type in my password.  If I have my Firewire devices connected (two external storage device, a Seagate and Drobo), I can't type in password or click on any of the buttons (such as reboot or shut down).
    If I disconnect Firewire cable from my Mac Mini, I can type in the password, then reconnect Firewire cable and everything works fine from that point on!?
    Looking around, I saw few reports of frozen login screen.  Though, my problem looks a bit different.  For example, the cursor in my case is still normal cursor, not the beach ball.
    If it makes any difference, the keyboard is Apple's wireless (bluetooth) keyboard.
    Wondering if anybody else run into same problem?

    For now, I simply connected it via USB, and it seems to be happy.  It's just a DVD drive, probably not getting too much benefit for being on Firewire port.
    As for firmware, last firmware update for it was back in 2005 (it's an older DVD drive, LG GSA-5163D, however still does its job very nicely), which I think I might have installed long time ago (not sure how to get what version the drive runs).  Anyhow, LG provides only Windows exe for flashing the firmware, and I don't have any Windows boxes at home.  There's at least one open-source flasher for Mac which claims it can extract firmware from LG's Windows exe and flash it onto the drive.  However, I'd rather not trust it not to fry the drive in the process if I really don't have to ;-)

  • 10.4.5 Update and Firewire Problems...

    It seems that since my recent 10.4.5 update, my external firewire drive is not being recognized. Using System Profiler, there even seems to be difficulty for the profiler to provide any info when "firewire" is clicked on under "Hardware"; Profiler seems to search for any info re: firewire, but produces nothing.
    I have shut down and rebooted the computer, turned off/on the FWD, changed cable ports... I am considering re-installing 10.4.4 to see if that might make a difference.
    Any clues or insights??? I can't access my external FWD!!
    Thanks!

    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.5 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
    Good Luck!
    Cheers!

  • 10.4.6 -- no firewire devices show-up

    I upgraded to 10.4.6 on Sunday and everything was fine until this morning. Now, no firewire devices will appear (I have an iSight and two external drives).
    Please, please, please help!!!
    Thank you.

    From MacFixIt, regarding inability to see FireWire devices after upgrading to 10.4.6:
    "We should note that various FireWire issues can be caused by outdated firmware. Run Software Update and make sure there are no firmware updates available for your Mac.
    Also, as with previous instances of this issue, some users have reported success by performing a hardware reset that involves holding down the power key for 10 seconds or so while the system is off."
    If those suggestions fail, and you used Software Update to go to 10.4.6, you might try downloading the Mac OS X Combo Updater for PPC and applying it.

  • Macbook Pro HD died/not recognized after latest Java & airport update..

    Hi,
    After the latest Java & airport updates, my mbp won't startup.
    The only thing i see after the chime is the questionmark folder.
    Holding the option button during restart to choose the bootdisk doesn't show the harddisk.
    I've resetted pram & smc and that also doesn't fix it.
    The mbp was connected to the charger and the battery almost full.
    Hope somebody can help me, have been searching but didn't found no answers.

    Antonio, I'm going to try the instal disk tomorrow(it's almost 02:00 over here, and i'm at my girls house). If the harddisk is recognized, i will try the hardware check and see what's wrong.
    Firewire mode is still working, so maybe with a little luck i can access it from my PowerMac. Did this before on my old Powerbook 12inch, when it gave up working properly.
    Can you believe this.. Because i needed all the space of my external hd, i copied all my music to my mbp's hd tonight.. didn't expect this to happen.
    Before i went to my girls house i was thinking about putting it all back, but couldn't wait..
    I don't think apple is going to replace my hd on warranty, it's more than 2 years old.
    My mbp has served well and i'm waiting for the arrendale 15 mbp's, when they arrive i'll order one and will swap the harddisk for a ssd. Then i can put the hd in my santa rosa mbp.
    But if you think i can try asking apple for a replacement harddisk, i will try..

Maybe you are looking for
