Loss of Firewire connection to media device...QT problem?
I just did an auto-update and something happened with FCP...I am running on the following:
FCP 4.5
QT 7.0.3 (I think it just updated...could this be the problem?)
OSX 10.3.9
Here's what happened. When I get into FCP I get that message that there is no device connected. Well, there IS one connected via a Lacie external into my deck and out to my monitor. So, the short is, I can't see my video on the monitor. For some reason FCP isn't seeing the connection between the Lacie and my deck.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

When you are changing the configuration (unplugging drives, etc) you ARE shutting down and rebooting the machine? In some cases, FCP will not recoginze Firewire devices that where not on when the OS first started.
Some users have reported problems with QT 7.0.3 and have had success reverting to QT 7.0.1
Other than that, try the delete receipts, download and reinstall QT 7.0.3 again. Sometimes it does not work the first go though. Also be sure to repair permissions after any software install.
re: new user account.
Go to System Preferences> Accounts
In the lower left you'll see a PLUS symbol. Click on it and create a new user account. give it a name/password and administrative rights.
Quit out of everything, log off and log back in using your new account. Launch and run FCP.
If things work, you have corrupt user preferences. Run FCP Rescue.
If things still don't work, you have a system wide problem. go back to your regular user account.

FTP connection on mobile device works over wifi but fails over 3G
Hi all,
Hoping someone can help, or has come across this issue.
I am developing a mobile app using flash builder 4.6 with the flex 4.6 sdk. My app needs to transfer files via ftp.
The issue I am experiencing is that the ftp connection establishes and files transfer without a problem when connected via wifi, on both android and ios platforms.
However, when only connecting via a 3G connection on a device, a problem occurs. While I can establish a connection, when I send the USER command, I never receive a response.
A simple view with code to reproduce this issue is listed below. Has anyone come across this problem? I have been searching far and wide but cannot find anything related.
Could this be an issue with Adobe Air or the socket class? I have written equivalent code using the android sdk in eclipse, and a connection to the same server and user details works on both wifi and 3g connections.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Error messsage regarding Texas Instrument Flash Media Device on Equium series
The below mentioned is the real problem & I am not able to find any solution in any mentioned sites, can you help me out?
Problem caused by Texas Instrument Flash Media Device
This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Windows Vista and Texas Instrument Flash Media Device.
Texas Instrument Flash Media Device is usually distributed by the company that manufactured your computer.
Note: If you bought Texas Instrument Flash Media Device from a retailer and installed it yourself, you will need to contact the manufacturer of Texas Instrument Flash Media Device.
Recommendation
To find out if a solution or an updated version of Texas Instrument Flash Media Device is available, go to your computer manufacturers website online.
Texas Instruments IncorporatedHi there,
just a little hint: Its better to explain everything because its hard to handle just with an error message. Explain such things like how did you installed your OS (from recovery or from scratch with installing all the drivers afterwards), in which situations you encountered this message, what you did or not did that this message appears, if the error is reproducable and so on.
Clarify and explain it more precisely with more details because I and the other users will be able to help you more efficiently out of your problem.

Pantech Perception won't connect to my computer as a media device
I've had my phone for about 7 months now and it just recently has been unable to be recognized by my computer as a device. It charges when I connect it, but that's it. A few things to know:
1. I'm trying to move music files from my computer to my phone. I usually do it through Windows Media Player or by dragging and dropping files to my phone when it's connected.
2. My computer is an Acer that runs on Windows 8.
3. I have already gone to USB settings on my phone and tried changing storage method. I can't seem to find and option to connect as a mass storage device though, just a media device.
Thanks in advance!And I'm sure you've powered down both devices pull battery. Media device should work. Does it work on another computer?

Is there an adaptor or interface that will allow me to connect a thunderbolt device to my late 2011 Mac Pro Firewire 800 port?
lllaass is correct.
To use ThunderBolt devices, a computer must have left the factory with a ThunderBolt port.
There are no known work-arounds, and there are not likely to be any because Intel controls the chips and is not interested in anything less than the full [including Video features] implementation. -
Firewire device causing problems when connected to Mini via LaCie ExtHD/Bus
Hello there..
Just bought LaCie 300GB Ext.HD/Bus(Firewire &USB). It was recognized by my Mini no problem. I have used the firewire connection between The HD and the mini. The problems begin when I try to connect my M-Audio firewire audio interface (it's mains powered, by the way) to one of the firewire bus inputs of the LaCie - then every action gets the dreaded spinning beachball and I have to shut down etc. The connection of this device has even prevented the HD being recognized by my system, in the case where I have tried having it already connected and powered up before switching on and connecting the HD to the Mini.
I've tried other things such as PMU reset, to no lasting avail.
This is the same firewire audio interface that has worked fine for months when plugged directly into the Mini, so why should there be a problem when it's connected to the bus port of the HD?
Now, as a temporary solution, I have changed the connection between the Mini and the HD/Bus from Firewire to USB - this means I can now use the FW port on the Mini to connect my audio interface (as before). The problem with this is that I work alot with video as well as audio, and have learned that it's very advisable to use firewire drives when working on video...but there is only one FW input on my Mini, so if the La Cie HD is using that, there is no port for audio interface to go in...that's why I bought this particular HD - more storage on a FW HD which has extra FW bus ports for such things as audio interfaces!
I hope I've explained the problem OK, thank you in advance for any advice.
JimmyYou don't mention which model you have, but this is from the M-Audio Firewire 410 Manual Troubleshooting section:
The FireWire 410 has been designed to give you high performance and professional quality audio. It has been tested under a wide range
of systems and operating conditions. In the real world, however, there is a nearly infinite number of possible operating scenarios, any of
which could affect your system’s performance. Much like owning an automobile, “your mileage may vary.” This section can not begin to
cover all possible issues you may encounter, however we want to give you some suggestions on common problems you may experience.
One thing to avoid is connecting too many devices. The FireWire bus is a dependable, high-speed, high-bandwidth protocol which is ideally
suited for digital audio. Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that audio and multimedia streaming places considerable demands on
your processor and the FireWire bus. Although it is theoretically possible to chain many multiple FireWire devices in series, doing so may
potentially degrade your audio performance.
I guess this degradation could also affect the Firewire HD. Maybe there is a simple fix, but it sounds like the M-Audio people have been down this road before. -
FireWire suddenly not recognising device?
I have searched high and low for an answer to this and now I'm just plain tired, so I hope someone here can help me in a hurry.
I have a Sony DCR-HC15E Camcorder which used to transfer fine in iDVD and burn DVDs for me with no problem at all. Suddenly it no longer does it. I am at a loss as to what to do to fix this problem.
I am connecting using a FireWire cable but the device is not showing up in "about this Mac".
The Sony website only provides information and downloads for Windows users.
I am desperate for any help someone might be able to give me as I need to download and post a DVD of my young son for an overseas medical assessment ASAP!
Thank you in advance for any help.Hi.
Is the Camcorder in VCR mode?
Does iMovie recognize the Camcorder? If so, then quit iDVD and move this file to the Desktop:
User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
and try again with iDVD.
Do other peripherals mount through the Firewire port? If so, try another FireWire cable.
If none of the above works, just do an SMC reset.
Good Luck. -
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.

Home sharing - cannot connect to media library - iOS 4.3.1 not working
This question might be answered... Posting anyway in case it helps anyone else (did not find answer when I searched). Feel free to ignore or contribute as you wish.
iPhone 3GS currently streaming a movie from MacBook Pro iTunes library so home sharing is working. It connected fine the first try.
iPad has not been able to connect. When it tries, it shows the library in the list. I select the library and the spinner starts. After about a minute (60 seconds) the error says Cannot connect to media library.
I have tried logging both devices off the wifi and logging back on while they are sitting right next to each other.
My wifi is set up with the wireless modem (n) with an Ethernet cable to another router used simply to extend the signal to the other side of the house (same network name -- this will probably cause some questions but I can't be sure it's the problem) ... So far AirPlay has worked fine, Apple tv works fine.
The library is not too large, only 1,000 songs and a couple dozen movies.
Not sure what other variables would be relevant.
iTunes 10.2.1
OSX 10.6.7
MacBook Pro
iPad (not iPad 2) iOS 4.3.1 (8G4)
iPhone 3GS iOS 4.3 (8F190)
Hmm... I wonder if that is the problem. The version on the iPad (not working) is newer than the iPhone (working).
I thought I just updated both to the newest but I guess 4.3.1 is only a few days old.
Might have just answered my own question.There is definitely something wrong with 4.3.1.
My setup:
iMac OS X 10.6.6
iTunes 10.2.1(1)
iPhone 4 4.3.1 (8G4), Remote app on this phone was working fine with ATV's until I upgraded it to 4.3.1 today. Now it can not find the home share library or the ATV's.
iPad 2 32GB Verizon 4.3.1 (8G4), Just upgraded to 4.3.1, not seeing home share library at all.
ATV2 OS 4.3 (8F202), Software 4.2.1, Was working until the last update, now don't see home share library at all.
ATV2 OS 4.2.1 (8C154), Software 4.1.1, This one I did NOT get the update, works fine with no issues at all.
I have tried to turn Home Share On/Off, turn ATV's/iPhone/iPad On/Off and reset Home Sharing. Nothing works. I think it is pretty telling that the ATV without update works fine were all devices with 4.3.1 stopped working.

Multiple Firewire Connections on a MAC PRO 2008
Wondering if anyone knows if there are any issues with multiple firewire inputs on a MAC PRO? I will be downloading film footage as well as running a Presonus Inspire for Voice-Overs which also uses a firewire connection to the computer.
The MacPro comes with 1 FW400 + 1 FW800 ports in the back and 1 FW400 + 1 FW800 ports in the front. They ALL share the same bus.
You may, or may not, have problems. Some devices play well with others and some don't. For example, AJA STRONGLY recommends you put the io devices on their own bus, canon cameras often will only work when they are on their own bus, and so on.
I've no idea whether your firewire audio device will conflict with your video tape playback device. If it was me, I could pursue this a couple of ways. 1, contact the audio people and get their recommendation or 2, give it a try and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'd purchase a PCIe firewire card and connect the bus hog to it.
Good luck,

What must I do to move my iTunes library to a Firewire-connected HD?
I have added an external hard drive (WD 2TB) using the existing FireWire connection to my Mac PowerBook 17" Titanium. The internal hard drive is quite small (120GB) so I want to move my existing iTunes library (and all associated files) to this new external HD - along with all necessary permissions/shares. Because the Mac that I have is fairly old (Titanium 17", pre-Intel, Motorola Power PC, 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4, 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, running Mac OS X 10.5.8, and iTunes 10.6.3 (25)), I can't seem to find the specific how-to to do this. Suggestions? Answers can be specific and detailed (I prefer them that way).
Thanks,
CarolI am not entirely sure you need to be concerned about permissions for this (i could be wrong). You will want to go your music folder and find "iTunes" or "Itunes media" there should be a folder in your music folder labled something similar. Copy and paste that to your firewire drive. Then I would suggest selecting all the media in your itunes library and removing it from the library, NOT DELETING it (if it prompts to you move to trash don't select that option).
You will then need to go your itunes preferences and select the folder you just moved to your external drive as your itunes folder. Should be under advanced in preferences select change itunes media folder location. If this doesn't populate your media back into your itunes library then go to file-add to library. Add the folder from your firewire drive and the rest should happen automatically.
The reason I have suggested removing and then re-adding your media is to avoid duplicates from popping up. Also to prevent you from having to tell itunes where each file has moved to. This can be quite tedious for tons of music and movies and etc. -
Hi,
I am running XP SP 2, on a Dell Vostro 1000, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.7 on a Tungsten E2. I have worked though issues relating to synchronization, Outlook 2007, Docs to Go, etc., in the past. Thank you board members!
Once I worked thru all the initial problems, my Tungsten E2 was sync' ing beautifully to my laptop until a few days ago. There have been no changes (I know of) to the configuration, but now I receive "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." On the laptop I sometimes get "USB device not recognized." I am unclear why I get the PC message sometimes and not others.
I have tried the following: (not necc exactly in this order)
Double checked Hot Sync Mgr settings: Local USB (ver. 6.0.1)
Reset the Palm (multiple times)
Rebooted the laptop (multiple times before and after the Palm resets)
Went to Support Libraries including http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=57,E=0000000001060189973,K=9550,Sxi=3,Case=Obj(3695...)
and http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(1409)
Followed the steps in "Start Here" found at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=26057
Moved Backup directory as per a post on this forum
Looked for a deleted a file called "Graffiti_ShortCuts_____________" per a post on this forum
Followed the steps in HotSync troubleshooter guide you can run through located on
http://kb.palm.com
Went into Device Manager - found it shows no yellow ! 's
Followed Device Mgr Troubleshooter - went all the way thru with no solution
Tried all four USB ports - the PC's bell-like tone does not sound when I disconnect or reconnect the Plam's cradle like it does when I conn/disconnect other USB devices -I think that is a clue. ...?
Cleaned the Palm's contacts (and cradle's contacts with a old, dry toothbrush)
Read all the posts under "USB device not recognized."
OK, I'm at a loss, can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance!

Post relates to: Tungsten E2Hello!
Using a cradle with the Tungsten E2? Tried bypassing the cradle and just use the hotsync cable? Tried a different computer yet? Somehow, the PC is having problems getting a signal from the device. I assume you have the laptop charger plugged into the laptop during this? Not going through a docking station or port-replicator.
One crazy thing you can try is unplug the charger from your laptop, remove the battery from the laptop and leave it out for like 10mins and put it back in and reboot the laptop. This should not cause side effects but still contact your OEM to make sure that nothing else is needed after leaving the battery out for extended period of time. Keep me posted.

Yosemite won't Boot from External SSD with Firewire Connection
Seeking help, I boot from external SSD drives from my 2010 iMac. I recently installed Yosemite on an External SSD with a firewire connection and all went well with the installation and first boot. After completing set up and restarting my iMac Yosemite will no longer boot from the firewire connection it will boot to the loading bar and then get the dreaded Goest Buster Emblem, if I swap out the SSD to USB connection it boots normally. I have 6 SSD Drives with Mavericks and Lion installed on that will boot from the Firewire Connection. Any suggestions ?
Additionally when testing while the SSD is connected to a USB Connection and booted if I attach any firewire device they are not recognized or connected to the operating system.

Home sharing "cannot connect to media library"
I've had a few successful home sharing moments and it really is brilliant, trouble is its a bit flakey when it comes to connection reliability.
I am using iTunes 10.2.2 iOS 4.3.2 (both devices) I've set the password and user account up on both my iPad and iPhone and TV and all of them work fine, no problems.
TV seems to be the most reliable one after I made sure it remains plugged in and doesn't have its power removed.
Then, the next time I go back after a couple of days or hours they show "cannot connect to media library" what do I need to do to stop this from happening, to make it just work as it should?Hi
I'm afraid I'm having exactly the same problem. I've not experienced an issue like this for a long time. I've read other posts and tried each suggestion but no joy. This really shouldn't be that difficult.
Any thoughts out there????
