My Firewire doesn't detect anything in try to connect to it.....

The most frequent use I have for the firewire connect is for an iomega external drive for storage.
It seems to stop showing up on my desktop or any where else on my imac powerpc g54 w/10.4.11.
So I tried hooking up my video camera to transfer video to imovie and nothing. (It says no camera is connected)
I went to system profiler and all it says is:
"FireWire Bus:
Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec"
Is there a fix I can download for whatever caused the break?
Or New firewire driver that can correct?
Thanks,

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

ITunes doesn't detect that my iPod is connected

I plugged my iPod touch in today so I could sync it, and the USB found sound was played, followed by a USB error sound. iTunes did not recognise that my iPod was connected and would not sync it.
I looked in Device Manager and there was an exclamation mark over Apple iPod, and the following message was displayed:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
I don't know why this is happening, as I successfully synced my iPod yesterday with no issues.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am having this same problem. I have been able to sync before, but now when I attach my ipod, itunes does not recognize it. The PC thinks it's another drive letter, and itunes never shows it in the list on the left.
Any ideas how to correct this?

Please post options available

Hello Eainere,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the phone is in recovery mode, and is not recognized in iTunes when you have it plugged in.
The steps to take next will depend on what Operating system you have installed on your computer.
For Mac OS:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

For Windows OS:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Ipad 4, 3 feet from my Airport Extreme. Airport Utility doesn't see anything, yet I am connected to the internet. What is the problem?

I am not pleased with the wireless connection in my house, as wireless access points of my neighbors is stronger than my Airport Extreme. It is physically the closest access point for my Ipad, my wife's Ipad and my Macbook Pro. I wanted to check the channel setting by using Airport Utility, and even though there is confirmation of internet access (posting this from my Ipad), it cannot find any Airport base station. Anyone have any idea why? Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently the problem is with the app on my Ipad. Airport Utility on my Macbook found both the Extreme and Express. Appears an app update is in order.

MacBook Pro doesn't detect tv as display.

MacBook Pro doesn't detect tv as display when connected via Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter.

Hi l,
Is it possible to try another adapter? There have been a number of posts here about faulty adapters. Also, have you checked in Display Preferences? Selected the proper input on the TV?

IPhone 4 does not detect anything on Bluetooth

My iPhone 4 has appearantly a glitch in hardware...??? I turn on bluetooth and it can search for devices till the battery runs out and that's it. I don't think that this is a software error, as there are plenty of iP4's amongst my friends who don't experience this error with the same iOS version as I have.
ANything I can do about it, or I just have to return it to my seller and ask for repairs?
Tnx
Lauris

I can't pair it with anything, cause it just does not detect anything. Try to imagine... You go to settings--->bluetooth--->turn it ON and that is it! It starts the search and never finishes... The phone can search till the battery dies, but nothing. And I know that a friends iPhone can connect ot my cars bluetooth, but mine does not even find it. Finds nothing... NO apple gadgets, no other gadgets... It would be a success if it would find something and then the pairing would be a different issues, but if the search for a device never stops (not even to show that the iPhone can't find anything)...then I'm confused... and dissapointed..

You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if the article doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

Hey,
I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
please help !

FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number?

Firewire doesn't work.

Hi,
My macbook pro firewire doesn't not work anymore.
I try all the way (reset the SMC and RAM also) but it stil can not work.
My HDD is Lacie, it's worked with iMac and used to worked with MP.
Any idea to help me fix this problem, please?
Thank you!

janieshin,
so I take it that your Lacie HDD is an external FireWire disk? You’ve noted that at some past time, it worked with an iMac — have you confirmed that it still works well when connected to other Macs with FireWire ports? Do you have a second FireWire device to test against your MacBook Pro, to ensure that the problem is not with the Lacie disk? Have you tried running your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test, to see if it can detect a problem with the MacBook Pro’s FireWire port?

IMac Doesn't Detect Headphones

I have a ~year old 24" iMac (2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo) that I just suddenly started having a problem with. I use headphones pretty regularly and they are almost always plugged into the headphone jack. Recently, I lent my headphones to someone and, when I plugged them back in, the machine doesn't detect them. The audio works just fine coming out of the internal speakers, it's just that it always comes out of the internal speakers, no matter if the headphones are plugged in or not (the headphones also work fine when plugged in somewhere else). I took a look at the Sound Preferences panel and, sure enough, it doesn't detect the headphones as plugged in. Does anyone have any suggestions on troubleshooting?
I'm not sure it matters, but I did just recently upgraded to 10.5.6. The headphones worked after the upgrade, but it may be that this is the first time they were replugged in after the upgrade.

It sounds like the head phone jack has been damaged. If they were connected to a port they weren't meant for, that can happen. And that in turn, can damage your audio output port.
Try disconnecting everything but the keyboard and mouse and reboot the iMac. See if that makes a difference.
Resetting the SMC only provides this kind of support:
-Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.
-Handling system resets from various commands.
-Controlling the fans. so I doubt it can fix the audio issue.
Check the headphone port really close, make sure there isn't any dust or link or anything that might keep the jack from connecting properly.

ACPI doesn't detect closed lid until other acpi event

Basically I have the same problem as described in this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121224
No solution is posted so I bring this up again.
As said when I close the lid, acpi doesn't detect it not in the acpi.log neither with acpi_listen. When I insert the battery, acpi immediately detects the closed lid and my laptop goes in suspend as it's supposed to.
This happens with a WM + acpi + laptop-mode-tools, in Xfce and in Gnome. KDE however works fine.
The logs when I close the lid and then insert the battery:
acpi.log
Jan 21 20:51:31 localhost acpid: client 1254[0:1000] has disconnected
Jan 21 20:51:31 localhost acpid: client connected from 1254[0:1000]
Jan 21 20:51:31 localhost acpid: 1 client rule loaded

I can tell with the lid closed because of which lights are on.
Anyway, I don't see anything interesting at all in the logs. This is so weird.
EDIT: I'm thinking that it might be conflicting kernel modules. For example I have phc-intel and acpi-cpufreq. Plus I'm using the CK kernel. So when I get home today, I'll first try removing phc-intel, then acpi-cpufreq, then I'll try stock kernel.

Solved. Installer doesn't detect harddrives

Hello, so this is my first time trying to install arch linux outside of virtualbox and the installer doesn't seem to detect my hard drives.
I get to the point in installation where I'm supposed to partition my harddrives and nothing is there, so I selected other and by using "dmesg | grep sd" I managed to find out that the drive i wanted to contain my arch install was called sdb. I wrote /dev/sdb in the "other"-box and was able to partition my hard dive the way I want. However, when I get to the step where I'm supposed to set my filesystems mountpoints there is no detected hard drives and no "other" option, so I'm pretty much stuck there.
I have tried searching but I didn't find anything on this particular problem, only GRUB related issues. Is there anyone here that know how to solve this?
Sorry for my English, it's not my first language but hopefully i made some sense at least.
edit, I forgot to add that I have tried the legacy IDE booting method too, but it did not help.

I have no idea why the installer doesn't detect your hardrive, but you should be able to workaround by mounting the partitions manually.
- mount the root partition to /mnt
- create a directory in /mnt for each separate partition
- mount all the partitions
then go to the step after setting hard drives in the installer.
I'm not sure this will work, just try. the installer should complains that you did not set any mountpoints, maybe entering the Set Filesystem Mountpoints step, and exiting with DONE can fix this.
Thanks for your reply, will try that.
One question tho, how would I set the swap partition using that method?
