[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 712267, member: 56231"] I recall reading several posts in a different Mac forum about external firewire devices not working properly. One of the gurus repeatedly responded with "swap cable ends" or "buy a new cable". Why does swapping ends work? My personal theory is physical seating characteristics. As you say, you've plugged and unplugged many times, and wear and tear ensues. Next time it happens, consider a new cable. Pleased to read that things are working again. [/QUOTE]
