I Need Some Fresh Idea...!, Triple backward jump from LP6.4 to LP7.2 Options

[emgcarra]

Hi everybody:
I really don´t know if there are any answer to this topic, because of his repetition or his nature...
I am tryng to survive the Up-Grade illness from LogicPro 6.4 to LogicPro 7.2, including Tiger 10.4.3
installation and change of interface....(from Digi 001 to a provisional M-Audio FW 410)...
And of course, there is where my troubles begin....After seven intents I could reach Tiger 10.4.3...OK
Then I started with Logic.....several more intents away and it was done....(no trouble-free...) But when try
to install the famous FW 410....I downloaded the proper driver (1.6) and proceeded...Then as told
in many forums and manual...Shut down, plug things in and then turn on the computer.....
But no, my beloved G4 2x800 couldn´t see the FW410, then I tryed into the other FW port.....error...!! G4 can´t see it....
Logic can´t see it either and so doesn´t see my MOTU Express 128 midi interface....
So, here I am, trying to figure out how to go ahead without selling the house in order to buy a not-so-new
G5 and/or look for a FW PCI card to replace what I thing are a couple of Dead FW Ports....
May be I´ll try to find a "day job" untill G6 came to the market...?
Any Ideas....? I will appreciate very much.........Thanks for reading...

I would check those firewire ports with another device before replacing them. I have a firewire 410 and it was very fussy in the beginning but after working the kinks out everything seems fine.

Try reinstalling the firewire 410 drivers and make sure you have the right drivers for the version of os x you have.

Also, are you getting power to the 410 through the firewire, is the blue light on the front on/off/blinking
if its totally off then its not seeing the computer at all, if its blinking then its either not communicating with the drivers or it is in low power mode (in that case you just press the on button)...

Hope some of this might help
