Mac Pro :: Firewire Ports Stopped Working / Resetting PRAM And NVRAM
Sep 3, 2010I have a 2006 Mac Pro and recently my firewire ports stopped working (front and back). I did a little searching around found a suggestion to try resetting the Mac's PRAM and NVRAM by holding the Cmd-Option-P-R keys down while booting. I have tried this numerous times and it doesn't seem to do anything (i.e. the Mac just loads OS X and doesn't re-boot like the instructions say). I'm using a MS Wireless Comfort Keyboard for Mac. Can you reset using a wireless keyboard?
Since I wasn't making any progress with that, I was toying with bringing in the Mac to a genius bar. Never having used the genius bar before - how does it work? Do I bring the computer in and leave it with them? Do they work on it while I'm there? I don't have an extended warranty so do they charge time and materials? I'm wondering if that might get awfully expensive and if I ought to just buy a PCI-X firewire card instead.
Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro :: Purpose Of FireWire Ports?
Dec 10, 2007Just wondering why does apple supply firewire ports on all their comps including laptops, because these days I can't find anything that has firewire ports that I will use everyday i.e. flash disc, HD, mouse etc. I know there's somewhere a 2.5" HD firewire case available but I already have a USB case for an external, and it would probably be more expensive to get it. What do you guys use firewire ports for?

Sep 14, 2009I have a 15" MBP and am now having trouble discovering my printer on it. I have the printer connected to my iomega powered hard drive which in turn connects to my MBP via firewire 800. Earlier the printer was working fine when the iomega was connected via a USB port. BUt im short on USB ports (one goes to my Companion 5 speakers and the second to a 2nd display besides the mini DVI display) hence need to connect via firewire.

Jul 28, 2010About to take the plunge and buy my first laptop (currently have a G5 PPC imac.) I'm planning on using Logic 9, Garageband and Sibelius, and recording live instruments. It will be my main computer, and will be moved about a fair bit. I'm going for a Macbook Pro since Apple decided to remove the Firewire ports from the Macbooks. Any thoughts on minimum spec? I can't decide whether to go for 13" or 15" - and would appreciate any ideas on what extras are really worth the additional cash (I haven't got an unlimited budget.)

Jun 30, 2008I am not a huge Mac guy, but have to use them at work? Our Mac Pro lacks enough firewire ports for the configuration I need to do. So I guess I need to get a firewire 800 card and it will only be used in conjunction with out AJA unit (HD video production), so if it has one or four ports it doesn't really matter. Anyone have a brand or specific card they prefer?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Hard Drive Dock With FireWire Ports
Mar 8, 2009I've been thinking about getting a Harddrive Dock. I had a Seagate External USB 2.0 drive but in windows, I didn't get more than 40MB/s which is slow. The Macbook Pro's have Firewire 800 which I think is significantly faster than USB 2.0. I also found some HD docks with firewire ports. So, what kind of speeds can I expect with firewire ports? On another note, I wish the macbook pro had an esata port!

May 21, 2010My powermac G5 has been off for a week while I was moving apartments. When I plugged it in again the external harddrives (four in all) that were daisy chained through the two firewire ports aren't being recognized anymore. I thought it was a bad cord or insufficient power but nothing worked. When I finally got around to looking at the System Profiler and check Firewire it said, "Unable to list firewire devices". I admit that I'm at a loss and I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.

Apr 5, 2012I'm wanting to connect my DV Camera and an External Firewire HDD to my mini. I really only need two firewire ports: one for the camera and one to daisychain any further Firewire HDD. This is all in aid of being able to digitize HD Tape footage with the mini using FCP so I can do all the editing etc of the Mac Pro. I've found a few online such as:The Belkin Firewire 6 Port Hub, Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Firewire 6 Port Hub and the 1Lynx 800 Advanced Firewire Hub (99MO018202).The stackable Belkins look great

May 3, 2009If I connect my Western Digital 500 GB external hard drive up to a computer using the USB port, then can I daisy chain a firewire camcorder to the hard drive and use it with the computer? Or is that impossible?
I hate the fact that the Macbooks don't have firewire, other then the white one. or the Pros.
Mac Pro :: ACDs USB Ports Not Working
Aug 5, 2008All of a sudden a few days ago, I realized that my keyboard was not working. It was plugged into my 23" ACD. So I unplugged it and put it into my Mac Pro. It worked. So I decided that my ACD's USB ports were not working. A phone call to AppleCare and he told me to take the display for repair to the Apple Store. I just did that, and the USB's worked fine in the store. I take it home, still does not work. So I thought my USB ports on my Mac Pro must be bad. But everything else I plug into all three of the back ones works just fine; but my ACD does not. In the store, he used all of my own cables / power adapter. Why is my USB not working for my ACD but it is for everything else?

OS X :: USB Ports Just Stopped Working On IMac
Jan 30, 2009I have a aluminum iMac, which has been working fine until now. A couple of hours ago I restarted it and went and did something else for a couple of hours. I then came back to find my keyboard and mouse not working, I double checked and they were both plugged in fine (I use the aluminum apple keyboard and a kensington mouse). I restarted my computer but it still did not fix the problem (I was still stuck at the login screen). I thought it might be the USB, so I plugged my iPod in, and it did not charge. While my iPod was still connected to my computer I restarted it again and as soon as the screen turned grey my iPod started charging and my mouse worked (the light turned on), but only until the grey apple logo appeared and it then stopped working again. I have tried every USB slot and none of them work. I'm pretty sure my computer was completely updated as well.

Software :: USB Ports Not Working After Reboot On MBP 10.5.5
Oct 12, 2008My USB ports stopped working after a reboot. I have rebooted multiple times and have full updates. printer and usb mouse dongle dont work on ALL SUB ports on my MBP. I installed fresh version REAL of OSX 10.5.5 I bought. 3 months later and now I have this small hickup. Recent install was XAMPP. My USB ports on my MacBook Pro stopped working. (Read error codes at end of message). To test if they are completely dead I did the following:
I boot up, and I move the mouse around waiting for the mouse to wirelessly talk to the USB port mouse dongle. As the desktop is loading, they pair, the mouse moves a few inches and then stops (seems to stay on for only 2 tenths of a second), then the port dies. So I assume the driver for the port is turning on, then immediately off. I have the following error in my Console when I unplug then plug in the mouse USB dongle:
