Profire Lightbridge Midi Issue

Hi,
I've got an issue with my lightbridge running 10.4.10. I installed everything and it works on the audio side but in the midi setup of my audio midi setup my computer doesn't show my lightbridge as a midi device. I can't access the midi ports in any of my DAW's. Of course this is because the audio midi setup doesn't seem to see the lightbridge. I've talked to their tech support and tried installing the same OS using apple's combo installer and deleted my audiomidisetup prefs and the MIDI prefs in my ByHost folder. Still my AMS doesn't see the lightbridge midi. I guess I could always use something else to send and receive midi but I just want to make sure the lightbridge works properly. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Updating From Le 7.01 To Le 7.1

Hello I just got the LE 7.1 update and I was so excited that I threw the box out with the invoice from Apple. I didn't see a card or anything with the serial number do I need one for this update?

External Firewire Troubles

Hello all
I have an ibook G3 running OSX 10.3.9. My issue is with an external firewire 400 drive I have. The other day I tried to trash something on the drive and it wouldn't go to the trash. I tried restarting but still it wouldn't let me trash anything. I tried to run Disk Utility and repair the disk but it said it couldn't do it because the drive wouldn't unmount and is still in use. I checked to see if any applications were running but nothing else was running. I have to force eject it from the Terminal just to unmount it from my desktop. I backed up all my data and as I was backing it up I found that a lot of the recent files I'd been working with wouldn't copy becuase they could not be read or written. So I tried to erase the drive but I get the same error message about not being able to unmount the drive. I have tried Disk Warrior and it gives me the same message. I've tried logging out and back in. Booting from a startup CD, and booting up in safe mode. I can't figure out what the problem could be. The fact that I can't even erase the firewire drive from the CD boot makes me fear the drive may be dead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
