Upgraded everything (Tiger & FCP 5.0.2) and now Firewire not recognized.

Jim, the following link my point you towards a cure.

Firewire problems with OSX – Tiger.

[Jim Wigler]

HI ALL!
Evidently, if you have your deck plugged into a FireWire port and you blithely upgrade to Tiger, you are an idiot and should kill yourself. The only way I could fix the problem of FCP not recognizing a simple DSR-20 deck was to erase me HD and install everything from scratch.
Sigh…

I’m having the very same problem. It developed after installation of Tiger. Another post in this thread says that the problem is caused by leaving a deck connected via firewire during the OS upgrade, and that the only way to fix the problem is to wipe the HD and reinstall everything.

I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem and could provide insight.

Thanks,
Dan Beck
