Lost Firewire connection

I am still chasing the problem with the staff when LOADING AUDIO FILTERS. I have learned that I am not supposed to be running FCP 4.01 on OSX 10.3.9.
SO, I have downloaded FCP 4.5 HP, I installed it and I can open it. BUT I have lost the connection to my firewire. I get a window when opening that says "Unable to locate the folllowing devices: Applefirewire NTSC (720) x 480)"
I know the firewire is working because I can see it if I open iMOVIE. BUT, FCP is not "seeing" the firewire port.
Any thoughs would be most appreciated. I have several classes of students who are unable to work becasue I cannot figure this out.
This installation is on a G5 Dual 2Ghz 2 G ram with 2 250 G internal drives.
It worked has worked for 2 years but recently stopped working with that "loading audio filters" problem.
Thanks,
John

Lost Firewire connection to external monitor??

I cuurently use a CanopusADVC110 to firewire from FCEHD to my external monitor.
Everything was fine until yesterday having captured some footage from VHS via the ADVC110 to my project, i then unplugged the VHS and since i have no visuals or audio on my external monitor?
I have tryed unplugging everything,restarting,shuting down, and still i don't even have the option to go firewire in the RT options on the timeline?
Any suggestions most welcome and thanks to all in advance.
Ali

Ali,
Check how you have your monitor connected to your ADVC; did you accidently disconnect your monitor when you disconnected your VHS deck/cam.
Also, the ADVC toggles between DV-in and Analog-in, sometimes on its own. It had to be in Analog-in mode when you captured from your VHS deck; it may still be in that mode. Use the AV/DV button on the top left of the case - make sure it is set for DV-in if you want to view on your monitor.

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.

Lost Firewire suport during upgrade OS X Server 10.3.9

After loading OS Xserver 10.x install discs on my Dual G4 Quicktime Broadcaster worked fine and the 400 firewire port worked. However, after performing all the "APPLE RECOMENDED UPGRADES" I now have no firewire port working. Thus quicktime broadcaster or does Quicktime "PRO" 7.1.1." work anymore from my firewire port. I've repaired permissions and performed a single user fsck on the drive. The Software has been reloaded several times with same result. Firmware is up-to-date on the G4. Verified my DV firewire source on my G5 and works great! Can't think of anything else to try.
I see previous lost firewire questions have gone unresolved or un-answered. Does anyone have a fix?

Thanks, I didn't think of resetting the pram and nv ram. That was a good suggestion. However, it didn't help. I also booted the G4 as a firewire drive and connected it to my G5 and that worked. So now I'm totally confused.
Does anyone know any unix commands for checking the firewire port status. I'm starting to think there is a pgm conflict.

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.

Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server

Same error. Is anyone from NI going to bother commenting on this? It's been >8 months...

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.

After iOS 8 update, iPad lost 3G connection

Hi
After iOS 8.0 update my iPad (iPad2 Wi-Fi + 3G 32GBModel A1396 MC983KS/A) looses 3G connection.
When I restart iPad it has good 3G connection. After few hours, when I have closed my cover and check IPad again 3G/2G connection has lost.
Connection won't come back. Only when I restart IPad I get connection back.
Is this a bug in the update?
When it will be corrected?

Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

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,

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,
x

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,
Carol

I 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.

Lost internet connection while restoring iphone 4S from backup after iOS 6

Hi everyone..
I have just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 yesterday. It was iOS5.1.1 and was in jailbreak mode before the update.
I did sync my iphone and did the 'Backup' as well before the update by using my latest iTunes via my laptop.
The iOS6 update was successful.
However, the 'Restore from backup' failed.. many times!! Everytime I tried to Restore from backup, i lost internet connection towards the end of the 'restore in progress' process so it was never complete. I had to pull out the iphone cable or restart my pc every single time that happened. Because i cannot get an internet connection after that happened. I cannot connect to any wireless network, so I had to restart the pc!
(the iPhone says 'Restore complete' as soon as I pulled out the cable. But phone stays as NEW phone, none of my backup data was restored).
During the 'restore from backup' attempts (via iTunes 10.7 on laptop), I have tried:
- Restoring to factory settings first and then restore from backup = tried many times and still failed.
- Uninstalled Apple mobile device and iTunes and re-installed them = still failed.
- Switched OFF the phone and hold the Home button while connecting to the laptop. Restored to factory settings, then tried to restore from backup = still failed!!
- switching to different USB ports on my laptop including USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 = no luck, still failed.
NOTES:
-Laptop is on Windows 7 and have had NO such problems so far. I have been using iPhone since 3GS.
-Internet connection is via wireless router, steady connection.
-My 3GS was on jailbreak mode before. I bought iPhone 4S and successfully restored from my '3GS backup' without any problem.
-iTunes 10.7 installed/updated.

Nevermind.. I just found the solution to my problem.
I copied the Backup folder into my mate's laptop and did the 'Restore from backup'.
All is good now.. Only need to re-install my apps, soon after all will be back as per normal!

"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

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.

Is firewire connection possible

my 80 gig Classic came with a USB connection. My "Classic Classic" {2003} used a Firewire connection.
Problem:
The "new classic" would not mount using firewire. Is this "the way it is"?
UBS is fine if you can wait overnight. I mean it's only 25 gig and it's gonna take a while.
Is there a way have either an eMac or an iMAC DC see it thru Firewire?
Oh yeah: I downloaded the manual. Firewire shows up in the back under ..."Firewire is a copyright...."
Running the latest iPod firmware and the latest iTunes.
TIA

USB 2.0 is pretty comparable in speed to Firewire, but my question is this: does anybody know why Apple chose not to incorporate Firewire into the newer ipods? I have a 5G ipod, but an older mac that does not have USB 2.0 ports- only USB 1 and Firewire. I can still transfer using USB 1 but it takes much longer. This is a major inconvenience, and it kind of boggles my mind that Apple would drop Firewire support for the ipod. It is their interface, after all, why not use it?
