ihu Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi, I have a similar problem like a couple of people here, my drive will fall off the device list, and will only come back on when I do the following: Eject tape (this is must, drive will not show if tape is not ejected) Turn off drive Quit Retrospect Turn on drive Run Retrospect Insert tape The drive has fallen off two times this week, and it's been frustrating. I'm running OS X Server 10.2.8, Retrospect 5.1.177, and firmware and drivers are up to date with the drive. Any suggestions? Thanks, Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi What firmware version do you have for the drive? I assume this is firewire, have you tried plugging the device into another firewire port? Have you tried another firewire cable? Does Apple system profiler see the device when it vanishes in Retrospect? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvision Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I have exactly the same problem with 10.3.7, G5 iMac and a La Cie AIT-2 Firewrire drive. Retrospect is 6.xx and everything (application, remotes, RDU) is up to date This problem didn't occur on a Beige G3 with a FireWire card running OS 9.2.2. It makes unattended backups inpossible and so makes the whole setup a waste of time Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi "Up to date" is a moving target in this industry. Please post the version numbers. When this problem happens is the tape drive visible in the apple system profiler? Do you have any other firewire devices attached to the machine?
