The older TiBooks were notorious for having FW ports that were easy 
to fry. I killed mine (on a 500) by plugging in an external self 
powered HD. My solution was to go to Otherworld and get a FW PC card. 
Of course, with the PC Card it will only sync, but not charge as PC 
card ports don't supply power.

Re: Firewire not working

[Muddle Man]

I recommend trying the cable and iPod on a different
Mac. This sounds like a hardware problem and testing
like this will be the only way to figure it out.

If it turns out it is the firewire port, then consider
calling Apple if it's still under warranty.

 Firewire port it will only charge, it will not sync.
  I have to plug
 the iPod into my USB2 card in order to sync.  Let me
 answer this right
 off the bat...YES, I am using the proper cable.  The
 iPod came with a
 firewire cable which I use and get the result above.
  I went out and
 bought one of those USB2/Firewire combo cable,
 plugged in just the
 USB2 cable and boom it syncs.  Tried just the
 firewire part of the new
 cable and same thing, it will charge but not sync.
 
 Anyone have any thoughts on this?
