hello
my imac has stopped recognizing firewire. When I connect my wd-disc or motu soundcard, nothing happens
My specs are:
1.9 GHz PowerPC G5
1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
osx 10.4.10
A few hours prior to the problem i installed the 10.4.10 update. When I rebooted I recived kernel panic for the first time. Then as I´ve said after an hour or so the machine stopped recognizing firewire.
I have (among others) tried safe mode, repaire permissions, that alt+option+p+r thing and this other thing I found on the web:
* shut down and disconnect all external drives and peripherals ; make sure nothing is connected to the FireWire ports
* use Apple Disk Utility to repair permissions on your internal boot drive
* shut down and disconnect the AC power from the computer as well as the drives; if laptop, also remove battery
* let sit unpowered and unconnected for 15 minutes
* reconnect AC power to only the computer (battery too if laptop)
* restart computer
* verify that FireWire ports are visible within Apple System Profiler
* reconnect FireWire drive (only one); refresh window within Apple System Profiler to rescan the FireWire bus; confirm that drive is visible
* confirm drive is OK by using Apple Disk Utility and apply First Aid
* repeat for other drives, one at a time
nothing seem to work.
Any suggestions? Im starting to get desperate over here (norway )
