I appreciate your help. My boss and I have been communicating with Apple. I hope I can get to the bottom of this. I love the video and your song.

On a personal note I am 300 percent Apple. I’ve dibbled and dabbled with Linux, I have had Windows running machines in search of a cheaper more efficient means of recording and editing sound for Film and TV. However I found Mac to be the most efficient, reliable joy ride of a computer yet. I am exited about the iPad and feel deep in my bones that it’s revolutionizing the personal computer and the way we use PC’s on the consumer level.
What I am hoping to gain through this web interaction is to figure out whether this is an isolated indecent or if others have experienced this same “shelf life” like occurrence. Like I said in my original post we’ve reached the magic year (post Apple Care warrantee) and like I said we round tabled “shelf life” back in 2003. To remind you “shelf life” refers to a theoretical amount of times you connect and reconnect a firewire device to a computer. We were actually referring to firewire drives not the computer back in 2003.
What’s peculiar is I have had more than 8 out of 27 Dual 2.5 machines (my colleague just came through my office looked over my shoulder and said more that 8 computers) do this in different rooms in just over a months time. The first problem with these same machines were we had to replace the PMU batteries the month before.

It’s been raining a lot here in New York City and the building has a modern HVAC system. I am certain the rug is made from synthetic polyester industrial office kind of stuff. It’s truly a mystery since there are 27 Dual 2.5’s in different rooms and their FW Ports are failing like domino’s.
I guess what I am trying to suss out is whether or not it’s a “shelf life” issue.
I would like to read the articles you mentioned that are published by Apple and Sony regarding Firewire vulnerability. What I’ve read which were articles that mention hackers can get info from computers via the firewire port (I like the “Target Disk Mode” function).
I appreciate the feedback from Ty, Will, John, Randy and yourself. I hope to get to the bottom of this soon.

This is not an ordinary circumstance. There are 27 Dual 2.5’s and are in different rooms on different power supplies and the clients are all using different brand hard drives. It seems this problem is snowballing.
