Hi, What Mac do you have. If system profile doesn't see any ports, are you certain your Mac has a firewire port? Apple stopped putting firewire on laptops a long time ago. I will say that firewire is supported on Mavericks just fine. I suspect one of the following is your problem: 1. Your Mac has no firewire ports, thus you cannot use firewire.' 2. Your Mac has blown the firewire controller, a common problem with firewire. 3. IF not 1 or 2, try resetting the SMC on your Mac. That sometimes will correct firewire issues.
Best, --K Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions.
