What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device
What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device: "In rare cases, a computer's built-in FireWire ports and third-party FireWire devices no longer work correctly. The computer may no longer recognize the device(s).
Try these tips and tricks:
Make sure the FireWire connector is aligned with the port before you insert it.
Insert the FireWire connector straight and completely into the FireWire port.
Make sure the FireWire connector is not reversed and being forcefully inserted into the port.
Check the cable connector. Is it dirty, dusty, or 'contaminated'?
Look at the FireWire port. Does it look OK?
Disconnect any noncompliant FireWire devices or cables that are not in use.
If a device does not work when connected through a second FireWire device, try connecting it directly to the computer.
Use a FireWire cable or device you're sure works well.
