A temporary fix for missing iPods/FW devices in 10.3.4

The problem is that you are running out of Firewire bandwidth. Apple even has an article on this (somewhere). They mention that certain Firewire devices, such as cameras, can prevent the iPod from mounting.

You might try using a different Firewire port also.

A temporary fix for missing iPods/FW devices in 10.3.4

After I noticed that it didn't work I disconnected it and directly connected it to my computer and still did not mount. I am running a Powerbook G4 867mhz on Panther if this helps so I do not have any extra firewire ports.

I noticed that my iPods died also when only having one devices (my external hard drive) connected to my firewire hub. I don't think that is too many devices?
