Please Help! Cannot get firewire drive to mount!

Hi,
I am running 10.4.5 on a dual g5 2ghz. I cannot get my second firewire drive (lacie 160gb porsche) to mount. It has been working ok up until now and is only a few months old.. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW does not show up in disk utilities or DiskWarrior either..
Many Thanks,
Ed.

Hi Ed,
look at the excellent Dale Weisshaar's advices here. It worked for me (unpluging the computer for 30 minutes).
Dual 2.3GHz G5 3GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iBook G4 1GHz

  • Please help - cannot get into any of the icons, when i touch the icon it makes a square round it but won't go into it. Tried restarting and rebooting it but no change.

    Please help. Since yesterday whenever i try to use my ipod touch, all the icons won't let me enter the app. Every one whenever i touch it just shows a faint square round the icon, and it won't access the item. Tried re-starting & re-setting but it hasn't fixed it.

    Are some of your accessiblity features activated?
    Each accessibility feature can be turned on or off in Accessibility settings on iPod touch. You can also turn some features on or off in iTunes when iPod touch is connected to your computer.
    Turn on accessibility features using iPod touch: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
    Turn on accessibility features using iTunes: Connect iPod touch to your computer and select iPod touch in the iTunes device list. Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary screen.

  • Unable to get firewire drive to mount

    I've been having a lot of trouble mounting my external FW drive. It seems to have a mind of it's own, sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't.
    I'm pretty sure it's not the drive, because I can swap the FW cable for a USB cable (the drive supports both) and it mounts instantly with USB.
    The issue is USB is so much slower than FW on my PB G4.
    I'm not having any other issues with my machine what so ever.
    Any ideas?

    I really didn't find or get a solution for this; after I upgraded to 10.4.6 the issues stopped and it's working fine now.
    Must have been an issue with a previous version is all I can assume...

    I got mine (2 weeks ago) 64GB WiFi+3G (Verizon) from the apple store online
    I didnt have to do anything to it, turned it on, activated it, got it on my home network then I signed up for the 3G data service, it works where ever I happen to be. (if there is an unknown WiFi connection available it asks me if I want to join before it continues to connect to the 3G when I am surfing or getting e-mail)
    do you have an Apple Store close enough to travel to?
    I am only assuming here, but since you have a SIM you are not in the US correct?

    See options below:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Did you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account when downloading them ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

  • After updating my computer, my iweb is not opening...please help me get it back!

    after updating My computer, my iweb is not opening...please help me get it back!

    Verify that your domain file is located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder which will be invisible. However, 
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    Next:
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    Since iWeb has discontinued by Apple the new systems don't handle the iWeb preference pane as it was in earlier.  The script corrects that situation and once you open the domain file the first time you can just use iWeb to open it from there on.  However, you'll need it if you plan on using more than one domain file. And adhear to the warning above.

    You don't need any software to run the router at all.  Connect with your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password admin and configure your router manually like everyone else.
