mac pro and firewire

in Genius Bar edited January 2014
My firewire external hard drive recently refused to show up on my screen anymore... when I click the HD on it whirrs to life, but still nothing on my desktop. and the light which changes from red to green just stays red.... it's a 150Gb LaCie porsche drive. if that matters. Also, under the system profiler, all it says under the firewire section is: "Firewire:"



Could my firewire just break like that? i've run the repair permissions utility and checked the disc and all that... all to no avail.

    Can you give a screenshot of your FireWire page in Profiler, perhaps? Hit Cmd-Shift-3 to take a full screenshot, or Cmd-Shift-4 to activate a screenshot marquee.

    went back to get a screen shot and now it's magically back... after two weeks of not working, it's just... back. How odd...

    That was my plan. Totally. The whole time, I swear.
