[QUOTE="arildgismervik, post: 423306, member: 33288"] 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: [SIZE="1"] * 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 [/SIZE] nothing seem to work. Any suggestions? Im starting to get desperate over here (norway:) ) [/QUOTE]
