	Hello, after months, I've reconnected my Sony DV to my Mac (10.2.8, Dual 1GHz G4) via FireWire and plugged power too. Well, no app does see the DV connected anymore. Even not system profiler. The DV works fine. What's wrong? ---- Michele Bugliaro, Designer owner: http://www.ufopsi.com forum: http://pub218.ezboard.com/bufopsiforum regular poster at http://www.macassist.co.uk

	stray_cats, have u check to see your Firewire is working ok Last time when I went to try my first external HD firewire. it doesn't work. So i took it back to shop as I never use firewire before. Turn out to be faulty that firewire port isn't working so replacing the motherboard cost me a package. Either u got a faulty cable as firewire cable aren't good when u bend it. Try connect it to other Mac or someone else. if it work, then u need to look at your mac otherwise there something wrong with your camera or firewire. Like u say it before, it was working before right?

	moggycat, it used to work fine before: camera and cables are pretty new, used FireWire very little, except Final Cut months ago and AV chat. ---- Michele Bugliaro, Designer owner: http://www.ufopsi.com forum: http://pub218.ezboard.com/bufopsiforum regular poster at http://www.macassist.co.uk

	I did an Apple Hardware Test... at testing motherboard, it stops and gives this error: fire/3/20 Been to the phone with Apple: they have been very kind. We did the usual tour of pram, nvram, etc. but no help. At the end, this time, the guy at the phone addressed me to the closest Apple Centre in Lugano, unlike the previous time when the woman found an AC way far away from me, in the Swiss German area. Luckily, I've still 2 weeks of warranty, so I'll be able to fix it for free. Gotta backup first. Dilemma: AppleCare or not Apple Care? Next time I'll buy a G5 YES! ---- Michele Bugliaro, Designer owner: http://www.ufopsi.com forum: http://pub218.ezboard.com/bufopsiforum regular poster at http://www.macassist.co.uk
