Hello,
A few hours ago I suffered a serious system freeze and lost lots of work. Here's the whole story:
- I had connected my Canon MV-400i to the firewire port in order to import some scenes using iMovie. I imported a few scenes to iMovie. Didn't save the work. I then put iMovie to the background to try a new game (2D, nothing heavy here).
- Later on, I switched off the camcorder since it was running low on batt.
- Later on, I switched on the camcrder for a few more shots. Done that, didn't save the work.
- I then lwft my office for some bussiness meeting.
- When I returned, the mac was in deep sleep. I pushed the mouse button to wake it up. The HD spun up as it should, but the monitor and mouse light did not come up. I tried removing FW-USB cables, no luck. I left the mac running for half an hour in case it would come together, no luck either.
Here's what's strange: The reset button (QS G4/733) wouldn't work!!! Never experienced this before! I had to shut it down by pressing the power buttin for 5 secs! Restarting was fine, everything works fine now, but haven;t tested again, since there's not too much time avail.. I will, later, and let you all know!
Is this a known issue? A friend of mine had told me he had a freeze upon removing a FW HD. Is there something wrong with FW support? Anyone having similar problems?
Thanx a lot.
Oh, OS X 10.1.3, no extra h/w except from RAM. I haven't experienced any such freezes b4, except from some KPs while playing Myth 3 and Quake 2.
