Re: FireWire problem in Mac Mini G4

Followup report so far: 1. Console does not say anything when I try to put the computer to sleep. When I do that using the keyboard power button and selecting Sleep in the dialogue box, the dialogue box disappears but nothing further happens. 2. I think that FireWire on the Mini and on the external drive may both be kaput. I plugged the external drive into a Mac Pro and it did not show up. I also plugged a different external drive into the Mini and it did not show up (does show up on the Mac Pro). 3. I did a safe boot and reinstalled the OS 10.4.11 combo updater; did not resolve the problem. Next move I think will be to back up my files (via USB or Ethernet), erase the HD, and re-install the OS. If all else fails, I will take Bruce's suggestion and delete the FW driver so at least the computer will sleep. Or maybe I will do that now.

If wireless, would you consider resetting your wireless network settings, including keychains? This is presuming you made recent changes to your router. That the speed on both machines is the same, would suggest that the issue, the bottleneck is on your router. It's indeed strange that both machines will trottle at the same speed. If you have another router at home, I'd suggest you dig that out and try it. Alternatively, if you can bypass your router, that might be good. I'm willing to wager a few krone that the problem is the router.

PowerMac G4 Processor
Hello. I have a dual 500mhz Powermac G4 that needs a new processor. I popped it into my 400mhz Mystic and had the same issue of no boot. With the 400mhz CPU both work fine.
