Hi,
So I'm having troubles with a external firewire drive after upgrading to Tiger, and I saw a possible fix that suggested messing with some of the firewire extensions in the System > Library > extensions folder. (the location of a whole lot of .kext files)
What I did was move a few of the firewire extensions out of the appropriate folder to a new one on the desktop. (I didn't want to delete the files, in case I broke it and needed them again). So this didn't fix my problem, so I moved them back.
Well, I have now lost all firewire functionality (at least as far as I can test).
I'm wondering is there a way to repair the firewire extensions (and therefore the firewire functinality) without having to reinstall the entire OS?
Thanks
