A temporary fix for missing iPods/FW devices in 10.3.4
Authored by: ranx65 on Dec 22, '04 09:01:55AM

I say thanks to you all because reading of your problems mounting iPod i solved my problem.
Got an iMac G3 600 blue dalmatian and after the OS/Security update it begun to get harder to mount my iPod 3G 40Gb, often it was mounting really slowly, so i tried quitting iTunes, and also restarting my iMac, but the problem was there anymore and get bigger too, now my poor iPod was not mounting at all! I was trying for a week, every day, but nothing.
After the OS update I noticed that my unibrain firewire web cam had always the "in use" red led lighten on, also when not in use, (before the led was green when not in use, red when in use) but I gave not importance to that thing... Now unplugging the web cam my iPod mounts correctly every time!
It may be really a problem of firewire bandwidth, or some incompatiblity with some firewire products not directly supported by Apple... I dont use any hub, iPod and cam are on different ports.
