IMac :: FireWire Fried By Power Cut - System Profiler Shows No Awareness?
Dec 20, 2009
Someone switched off the power to my iMac the other day. Since I've rebooted:a] System Profiler shows no awareness of FireWire ("Unable to list FireWire devices" in red) b] Every boot takes about five minutes, 3+ of which seems to be spent waiting for a response from the FireWire socket (the logs show a 3-minute gap followed by a line that goes something like this:"/usr/lib/exec/hidd: Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet")
c] if it's idle long enough to go to sleep, it goes into a kernel panic (the last line in the log before the panic says"kernel[0]: IOPMSlotsMacRISC4::determineSleepSupport has canSleep true")b] looks connected to a], but I can't see any connection with c] (apart from the reference to IO).

i got an old lacie d2 aluminum CD-rw 52x24x52x cd burner today from a friends of mine. It turns on, spins the disk and whatnot. It wont show a blank disk (or any other disk for that matter) in the finder menu. iTunes wont recognize that the thing is plugged in. Im using it on a powermac g4 running 10.4.11 on it.

I have to get a external drive for backup with Time Machine. Everyone says to get Firewire I guess because its faster...but.Do you need to use the power cord for those? I know some USB drives you can only use the USB cable and it powers it which is handy because I move the drive a lot and I hate connecting two cables....do firewire drives need both cables?

I was trying to get battery info so I was looking in "system profiler" and thought I might like it in the dock. However it appeared to be placed behind the dock on the desktop, so I just "right clicked" it and said move to trash. When I did that I decided to go see if I could find system profiler in my apps or whatever, and it was gone. So I went to trash and hit "put back." It went back into its original folder, but it also went back onto the desktop. How can I remove it from the desktop?

I am a new Mac owner and still wandering around in OSX, but I have a question. In System rofiler>Software>Applications, every application has 2 listings. Some have what looks to be a previous and new version, and some have both listed as the same version. Is this right? Why is this?

Someone else pointed out in another thread that on the 11" MBA with 4 GB, if you look in System Profiler under memory, the software says that there are two RAM slots. I can confirm that on my MBA. So:
1) Is the same true on the 13" with 4 GB RAM?
2) Has anyone published a tear down of a 4 GB model just to be absolutely sure that there is only one soldered RAM slot? (I know it's unlikely that a second one got crammed in there, but I'd just like to see the tear down picture)...

I was just browsing through System Profiler yesterday and found a 'WWAN' option in the left menu bar. I've never seen this before, but could this be a suggestion that there will be built-in 3G in the future?
This could mean something else though, I'm not really familiar with WWAN capability.

When I log into my System Profiler, I see that I have three items listed to StartUp. These items I do not use.
Now when I go into System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items, these items are not listed.
When I go into my Library, StartupItems is not listed.
I've have run a search for StartupItems on the entire machine but it's not located anywhere. Does anyone have an idea on how I may remove these items from my Start up?

So just out of curiosity I was messing around in system profiler tonight and happened on the firewall tab. Never really took a look to see what it said until tonight. I have stealth mode enabled, and have ever since I installed SL but the profiler seems to think otherwise?

Just tried holding 6 & 4 on my mini during boot-up, it took a little longer to boot the first time (building cache?) and when I checked the system profiler, 64-bit was active!

I just received my new MBP with i7 processor.
What I understood is that the os should recognize 8 cores because of the 4 cores with multi threading. The system profiler however, only shows two.
Was I misinformed or is something up with the hard/software?

I posted my G4 Powerbook on craigslist, and, after filtering out the nigerian scammers, I received some legit-seeming inquiries, a couple of which requested I print my system profiler information as a pdf and send to them so they could see how the machine is set up. One of them had an @apple.com email address, so it seemed like it was probably not a malicious request.

I thought nothing of it until I started rebooting and STILL couldn't get the computer to see it.
I've tried the drive in all 4 of my internal bays and looked to see if shows up under BootCamp but no luck yet. My other internal drives work in any bay slot, so I don't think it's a fault with the MacPro.
As far as I know, it's spinning up and isn't making any dead-drive sounds I've heard in the past, it just seems to be invisible to the computer.

New member. Just got myself a new MacBook pro i5 15' to replace my old MacBook. I noticed when I opened the system profiler under ATA it said no hard drive was present or selected or something to that effect. Everything is running beautifully on the machine but I was just curious why nothing showed up. Any ideas?

While helping somebody with their eMac I discovered that System Profiler lists the Serial Number as "-", i.e., just a dash

I purchased a black MacBook (10.4.11) last may and it's my first Mac. Thus far, I have only had one problem and that is that my I can't see my Motorola Z6m in finder or disk utility (but it is in system profiler). I also do not see it in Terminal under /Volumes. Inside the phone is a 2GB Verbatim microSD card that works fine in my card reader on the same machine. On a side note, bluetooth works fine.
The phone works as expected in the PCs I've tried it in, including a parallels vm running XP on the MacBook (I don't have access to any other Macs) which led me to believe it was a formatting issue, but then the card shouldn't work in the card reader either and it should still show up in disk utitlity. Am I not correct?
I have tried rebooting, unplugging/replugging the device, removing the battery, and reinstalling OS X (I wanted to do it to get rid of Unsanity's APE anyways). I have plugged it into either port on the MacBook with the same result. I have also emailed motorola tech support. Additionally, I have done quite a bit of googling and have found other people with the same issue, but none of the suggestions have worked for me or were otherwise unworkable (some suggested downgrading to 10.4.9).
I have also heard of trying it in a powered usb hub, but the thing is, why does it work through the virtual machine if a powered hub is required? Or am I missing something in this?

I have found that by plugging in my Apogee Duet firewire audio interface and ONLY WHEN AppleFWAudio was loaded there was a 10c CPU raise that was making my MBP (late 2008) hot!I wanted to monitor the power that was required for Duet to run and to see if the temperature rise was due to that, so:With Apogee drivers uninstalled (just to be sure its not their drivers related, which is notMBP on battery power with System Profiler opened (to monitor the mA required by the computer from System Profiler -> Power)

I have a iBook G4 laptop and there seems to be something very wrong with it. It started a few days ago just randomly. I was reading something on the internet and the screen went black on me, but the power was still on (I clicked CAPS LOCK to see if there was power). I then proceeded to push the power button and the power went off. When I pressed the power button again to turn it on, it made that internal noise it always makes and then the fan came on, and wouldn't turn off. There was no picture on the screen at all. Completely dead. But there was power, because when I clicked on the CAPS LOCK, the light came on). I tried pressing on the power button for at least 15 seconds and even went as long as a minute, and the power didn't go off.
