Rear Firewire ports have left the building!

The rear firewire ports on my MacPro have stopped working (800 and 400)
Not recognizing hard drives or Audio devices.
The ones on the front still work but are making problems when connecting 400 and 800 together.
What can I do to solve this problem of fix it?
HELP!!

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work! Usually they all stop at the same time though.
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 didn't 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.
If that still didn't 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.
A bad internal PRAM battery can also cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Here's another Fw Faq.

  • My sidebar has left the building!

    This WAS a perfectly centered Home.html page. I was attempted
    to cleanup and rename some files and everything went to #$@&.
    At any rate, the left side bar, menu container, and menu
    buttons have left the building. I cannot see them in design view
    and when viewing in the browser, about half of the aforementioned
    appear on the left side. It's like they "escaped" from the
    wrapper!?
    Would someone be kind enough to point out the error(s) I have
    obviously committed....please.
    Thanks - David Bird

    Sorry, your cleanup has hopelessly munged up the code of the
    page. A
    quick look at your code shows that you currently have eight
    opening
    <div> tags, but only six closing </div> tags. You
    have four opening <p>
    tags, but only one closing </p> tag. You have two
    closing </html> tags.
    There may be more errors, but that's what jumped out at first
    glance.
    I'd suggest starting over. When you do, I'd also suggest you
    spend a
    little time working through a few CSS tutorials to gain a
    better
    understanding of how to position things. The first thing you
    should pick
    up is that position: absolute should be used only in specific
    and rather
    rare cases.

  • Finder has left the building

    I installed with no problem, but yesternight my Finder quit working. I reset, thinking it was just a one-time problem, but the finder never launched. My startup items (tablet driver, suitcase fusion, etc.) failed to load as well. They appear to be waiting for the Finder.
    I waited as Spotlight re-indexed one of my external drives, then ran disk utility on all my disks and everything turned up ok. Still, the Finder is not working.
    I tried booting into a different user account (the one I never use and keep only for diagnosing problems) and then booting into Safe Mode, but the problem persists.
    What happened to my Finder and how can I fix it? Please help!

  • External Lync clients can't join meetings - get kicked out with "You have left the call"

    My users connecting remotely (ie. from home) from their Lync clients installed on their PC are unable to join any meetings.  It tries to connect, but then gives the status "You have left the call." 
    Internally (ie. in the office) it works fine. Additionally, the Lync Web App clients also works fine, internally and externally.
    Some details on my enviroment:
    Edge - Lync 2013
    Front End Pools - one 2010 Enterprise (albeit one server), one 2013 Enterprise (two servers)
    A standalone Lync 2010 A/V server exists as well.
    Meet and dialup records internally point to 2010 pool. Externally, they point to 2013 access edge.
    SRV records on external DNS are _sip._tls 443 and _sipfederationtls._tcp 5061, both point to access edge.
    SRV records on internal DNS are _sipinternaltls._tcp 5061 to sip (which is an "A" record with IP for 2013 FE pool), and _sip._tls 5061 to access (which is an "A" record with the internal IP of the edge server).
    Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    Can external Lync user make an audio call to an
    external user?
    Your problem is mostly related with Lync Edge Server.
    Check Lync Server Audio/Video Edge service is started.
    Please use Remote Connectivity Analyzer to perform Audio/Video server connectivity test:

    OS X Server Wikis - How do i delete people that have left the office?
    Some people participated in the editing of the wiki and they have now left the office. How do i remove them and their documents from the People page?
    Thank you.

    Should be able to do so from the Users pane (select the user then click the "-" below the list of users. That worked for me with all but one out of five users I deleted. No matter what, their Wiki person page remained, so I hid it from view.
    Sorry I couldn't provide more conclusive help.

  • I have just bought Macbookpro and when ı connect digital camera from firewire port ı never see the image at macbook pro.

    I have just bought the macbook pro. When i connect the digital camera (sony dxc-c33p) to mac from firewire port i never see this camera imovie or quick time programs. Macbook pro never connect the digital cameras via firewire port. What can i do to solve this problem?

    We are sony dealer for profesional medical products and i want to connect sony dxc-c33 digital camera to mac via firewire port. it is very interesting;
    1. i have new imac at the office with latest software. when i have connected the camera it worked perfect no problem.
    2. i have bought new macbook pro last week. when i connected the camera it didn't work.
    3. i have connected the camera to imac mini with latest software. it worked perfect no problem.
    4. finally i went to apple support office and we connected the camera and tried to take movie at four different brand new macbook pro but they didn't work.
    Also when we lived this problem we have already contacted with sony support and no problem from this side. Iam still thinking the problem is firewire port at macbook pro. Finally we contacted exclusive dealer of apple in my country but they didn't solve and understand the problem yet until today (it passed 15 days)

  • PCIe G5s- are their firewire ports all on the same bus?

    Sorry, posted this on the G5 expansion forum but never got a response. I've been looking but haven't found an answer to this. I know it was a major issue to some people that the old G5s had all their firewire ports on the same bus. I was just hoping that Apple had fixed this so I wouldn't need to use up an extra PCIe slot with a firewire card.
    So, does anyone have an answer? Thanks ahead of time for any info!

    Patrick:
    Nope. My understanding of the FW spec is that devices slow down anything after themselves in the chain to their speed or lower. Thus, since the FW800 port isn't after the FW400 ones, the FW400 ones don't slow it down.

    And in this corner, Brian:
    <div class="jive-quote">Yes, and connecting a DV VCR or camcorder will pull everything down to 100Mbps. This is the reason some systems have dropped frame problems on capture and output to tape.< </div>
    While these sound like complementary posts, the confusion is already palpating through this thread. Someone please clarify this for the rest of us. Suggest you use a standard example that includes a hi-speed FW drive, a standard FW drive and a DV deck. Hook them up in the same order to the two ports and tell us what the effects are on the performance of the Firewire bus.
    At the present time, there are no PCIe firewire cards. < </div>
    I had no idea.
    Isn't that just weird? This is the 21st century! Why is there a new data bus structure in our Macintosh without any accessory cards?

  • User is getting email delivery failure when processing via SAP as it tries to send an email to a user who have left the company

    Hi Experts,
    I need to remove a name on a group list in Outlook as the user is getting email delivery failure when processing via SAP (He sends the invoice for approval and emails get sent to different users for approval.) One of those users has left the company and so the user gets a email delivery failure error.
    How do I remove this user who is no longer with the company?
    The user is saying: When I approve an invoice in SAP it sends an email notification through outlook. One of those users is no longer with the company so it cannot deliver the notification, and in return send a delivery failure (in outlook). I am approving the invoices from my SAP Workplace inbox.
    How do we know what group the email is going to?
    Please let me know if you have seen this issue before. Greatly appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Asad

    Hi,
    Please check whether you are using a custom z program for sending emails of approved invoices to users. If yes then either the user email ids are hardcoded in the program else a ztable is maintained for them.

  • I have bought an iphone 5 from cash converters, I'm waiting for a sim to arrive from my provider. I have left the iphone on the last two days and both days it's turned its self off when I went too look at it. Is this right or could my phone be faulty?

I have left my phone on and twice it has turned its self off, is this right or is my phone seem faulty? I haven't been able to try the phone out yet as I didn't have a small SIM card.

  • Vista has left the building...and the Recovery Disks do not work correctly.

    I've spent over a month and a half trying to fix my non-booting Satellite A215-S5818 running Vista.  Sometime mid-March (ah, the Ides of March!) I think I downloaded an automatic update and I remember the next time it booted my desktop was black; icons but no background picture.  Then I noticed on the bottom right it was saying my copy of Vista was not genuine.  I know that it is, because it is pre-installed.  So I ran check disk from the Properties page of C: in Windows Explorer. After it ran, I got BSOD.  At first I just booted into SafeMode and tried to disable whatever hardware/uninstall whatever software was causing the problem.  I think I got it to boot in SafeMode once or twice, then no more.  For a while I kept getting IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL, but I somehow stopped that through the command prompt(forum advice?).  Startup Repair could not fix it,  System Restore would not work on ANY restore points, even before March. The new BSOD error was:
    "STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}-
    The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc0000221 0x00100594)"
    From then on I could only get a command prompt through the Repair Console.  So I xcopy-ed my Users directory to an external hard drive and grudgingly booted from the Toshiba CD, knowing it would obliterate everything, but I was desperate.  I got the 03-EEEE-0000 error.  Now I have a plethora of useless(?) CDs and DVDs I have burned ISO images on of any Freeware I thought could fix it, downloaded from the Internet using my husband's Windows 7 desktop computer.  I followed these instructions to the letter and it worked (I guess; it started immediately, no DOS objection), but when it rebooted I got a window (!) saying something about the type of hardware.  I haven't added or changed any hardware, but I have updated the BIOS recently.  So I clicked OK (no other choice), and now every boot up I get a window saying "Windows could not complete the installation.  To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation".  Startup Repair does not find any problems.  Could it be the BIOS?  I have re-flashed it twice, no difference.

    Oops! Sorry that was stupid on my part.
    From the command prompt you could type in   systeminfo   , and hit the 'Enter' key, it will take a little while to run, when it finishes, scroll back up to the top and you'll see OS Version and Service Pack you've got loaded. But, if you're booting off the recovery disk, that's the system info you'll get.
    If you can't get to the command prompt from the Advanced Boot Options menu, by trying to boot off the hard drive, and pressing F8, I'm not sure how you can find what Service Pack you have loaded.
    By using the Recovery Boot Disk, have you exhausted all the recovery options that Jerry linked before?

  • NTLDR has left the building

    Hello All,
    Putting together a brand new comp (specs in sig) for work (planning on making a couple dozen of these as DVR devices for a 60 camera surveillance system) and ran into a bit of a problem.
    Put everything together, and the first thing i did is make a mirrored raid array.  After that, rebooted, made sure that looked well and good, and then booted from cd to install xp pro.  Hit f6, installed both drivers, etc.  Did a full format (why not?) instead of a quick, copied sys files, restarted, went through the generic config, restarted, a little more config and boom, we're in windows.  It detects some hardware, installs it automatically, lets me know i have to reboot to finish installation, so i do.
    NTLDR i smissing
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
    My all time favorite error, one which i've probably spent hundreds of hours troubleshooting on many different machines...
    Raid array still seems fine, so i decide to see what i can do by booting from CD again... however.. if I "hit any key to boot from cd", it goes through its "setup is now inspecting your hardware configure ... " phase and then the screen goes black and the machine locks solid right when it should go to the blue setup screen.
    I've read through every mention of NTLDR in the forums, and havent found anything like this yet.  I tried disabling sound, lan, even SATA, to see if that would make a difference.  Tried messing with the boot order (which was/is set to cdrom, hard disk, and thats it, hard disk priority is SCSI for the raid first).
    Unlike other people having something similar, if i leave the cd in the drive but do not boot from it, it doesnt boot from the hard drive, just does the same as above.
    I also did not have anything in the system other than what is listed below and a generic cd drive (which is fine).
    Also, no pre-existing installations, as these were fresh hdds.  The system was rock solid up until this point, so i'm going to rule out memory.  It seems like a possible driver issue, but the black screen hang on booting from cd has got me wondering.  Any thoughts?

    Agree with Glenn.  It is certainly simpler to install your OS with just one drive in the sytem first (no reason to use F6).  That way you know the system is up and running and all hardware detected with correct drivers etc.  Then shut down Windows, plug in the power to your second drive, build your array, and boot into Windows.  Windows will then recognize the RAID and ask you to supply the drivers.  Do that via your floppy in drive A.  Then you should be up and running.
    Basically, as I understand it, the "ntlr is missing error" means Windows did not find the loader files it needs on the HDD that is selected as the first boot hdd. Setup would have put these files there in the previous part of the setup.  So apparently it does't recognize the RAID configuration you have as an HDD (yet) because you have't set it up that way in Windows.  If you start with just one drive then Windows setup cannot get "confused" at this point.

    So what happend here ?
    I am using what plan table of the above, and why that table generates always the same plan ?
    */To bypass the problem (probably), and to see how it happened (possibly) see http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/old-plan_table/
    Not sure why you keep getting the same plan, but dbms_xplan does a 'select where plan_id = (select max(plan_id) ..) so perhaps the plan_table(s) you keep using have an artificially high plan_id which is always getting selected. (You could try doing: delete from plan_table ; commit; )

    If you never mark your questions as answered people will eventually decide that it's not worth trying to answer you because they will never know whether or not their answer has been of any use, or whether you even bothered to read it.
    It is also important to mark answers that you thought helpful - again it lets other people know that you appreciate their help, but it also acts as a pointer for other people when they are researching the same question, moreover it means that when you mark a bad or wrong answer as helpful someone may be prompted to tell you (and the rest of the forum) what's so bad or wrong about the answer you found helpful.

  • HP Quality Has Left The Building

    Sadly, it's true.  I recently purchased a HP7000 printer. The printer would not power off; the power and resume lights blinked continuously - no paper jam; gave a general printer error (no err #) and; a loose screw lay proudly atop the carriage mechanism. Guess where I sent this printer?  I received a replacement.  It powers on and off; no blinking lights - I'm hopeful.  But then, there was no test page printed.  In fact, the paper feed mechanism didn't work - at all!  The printer did nothing but prime the print heads until the color cartridges were out of ink.  You know where the second printer went!  That's two (2) out of two (2) defective products!!!!!
    What this experience tells me is that HP is manufacturing and shipping but not testing to save the cost.  I have no intentions of buying another HP product!!!

    Sorry, your cleanup has hopelessly munged up the code of the
    page. A
    quick look at your code shows that you currently have eight
    opening
    <div> tags, but only six closing </div> tags. You
    have four opening <p>
    tags, but only one closing </p> tag. You have two
    closing </html> tags.
    There may be more errors, but that's what jumped out at first
    glance.
    I'd suggest starting over. When you do, I'd also suggest you
    spend a
    little time working through a few CSS tutorials to gain a
    better
    understanding of how to position things. The first thing you
    should pick
    up is that position: absolute should be used only in specific
    and rather
    rare cases.
