and that I had tried a suggested remedy of shutting down the computer, waiting 15 minutes or so, and restarting and reconnecting the ext. I found my answer at under the topic, " What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device."Īs you may remember, my problem was that my previously working LaCie external hard drive could not be re-mounted with either the 800 or 400 FireWire, but could be re-mounted using a USB connection.
and will take a moment to share it here for the benefit of others who have or will have this problem. 3 days have passed and at least 35 of you viewed this thread and no one took a moment to suggest a possible remedy, or where to look for one.
#LACIE HD ICONS HOW TO#
So, if anyone knows how to get the firewire connections working again, please respond here, which will save me from a trip to Apple Store’s Genius Bar next week. The MacBook Pro is 6 months old and is running the latest OS and updates. In all of the above configurations, the Lacie HD had the auxiliary power connection connected to one of the MacBook Pro usb connections. I then disconnected the firewire and connected the usb cable to the external hard drive and then the computer and finally saw the Lacie icon and successfully did a Time Machine back (all other back-ups in the external hard drive were intact). I tried shutting down everything for 30 minutes and restarting, and tried connecting first with the 800 Firewire, and then with the 400 Firewaire, to no avail. I clicked on the message and re-inserted the firewire, but the Lacie icon did not appear and I could not see Lacie external hard drive in Finder or in Disk Utilities folder. I saw a pop-up message saying something about an improper disconnect.
Portable Lacie HD (purchased earlier this year) accidentally had 800 Firewire disconnect (apparently while doing a Time Machine back-up file) when the MacBook Pro was moved on the table.
