17" Powerbook can't find Panasonic PV-GS39 via firewire

I just picked this Panasonic mini-dv camcorder up the other night and have yet to get it to talk to my powerbook (final cut pro hd 4.5 or iMovie hd) via firewire. If I connect the USB cable, I can access the pictures on the SD card, but no go with firewire, and that's the only way to transfer video. I've checked all the docs I could find on both the computer side with mini-dv/firewire and the camcorder's manual. Everything is set correctly and I've tried three different firewire cables. I haven't gone down the reset PRAM road just yet as firewire is working fine with both my ext. 60GB drive and new ext. DL DVD burner (just burned three DL discs with no issues).
Since this is a new camcorder, could it be possible that it won't be recognized until a driver update? Doesn't sound like that would be it, but I'm grabbin' at straws here.
Anyone have any thoughts/experiences with Panasonic mini-dv via firewire?

Problem resolved. I went back to Target and exchanged the camcorder. It was recognized as soon as I connected it to my Powerbook. I was able to easily control the camcorder and transfer video from it.

  • Can't recognize panasonic hd1200a deck via firewire...

    Hello.
    I'm having issues getting final cut to recognize my panasonic hd1200a deck. It's connected via firewire. I downloaded the frame rate converter from the panasonic website, but am still having the same issues. Any ideas?

    AJ-YAD120AG. Would this be the reason why FCP 5.0.4 Log and Capture would display the "Preview Disabled"? I have deck control but not able to capture video.
    Here is my Audio/Video settings:
    Sequence Preset: DVCPRO HD -720p60
    Capture Preset: DVCPRO HD -720p60 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: DVCPRO HD FireWire
    Any Help with this problem would be much appreciated. My deadline is next week on the April 25th.

  • Windows XP Home can't find HP printer connected via Ethernet

    I posted this on the Bonjour forum, but this might be a better place for it. So:
    We just got an HP Photosmart D7260, which I've connected to our network via Ethernet.
    My MacBook and Kittendaddy's eMac found it with no problem, but when I boot into XP Home, the Printer Wizard can't find it, and Bonjour sees it but can't find the correct driver (even though I've installed it). When I click on "Have disk", it takes me to the disk contents but I can't seem to find the file it wants.
    Any ideas?
    God, why is everything so complicated when it comes to Windows? It drives me crazy, I tell you.

  • New iMac can't find the old iMac via Ethernet

    I just bought a new 27" iMac and I am trying to migrate data from my old iMac.
    I have the two machines hooked together via Ethernet and have Etherenet turned on in the source iMac but the new iMac can't find the old iMac. The pinwheel keeps spinning with no success. What should I do here?

    Gramps wrote:
    What FireWire?
    There is no FireWire port on the new machine so this is a non-starter.
    Unfortunately you didn't read my post very thoroughly. You are correct, the new iMacs do not include FW however your old Mac probably does. For just that reason and more Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which you can use if you opt to use FW Target Disk Mode. You can find the adapter by going to your Apple online store or Amazon carries it to. Here is the Amazon link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366831510&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire+cable
    However as I mentioned use TM or a bootable clone with Migration Assistant. If your old Mac was using any verison of OS X from Leopard (10.5.x) on at the very least you should have a  Time Machine backup!
    Also use Pondiini's guide as AnaMusic suggests, it's THE GUIDE for using Migration Assistant and Setup Assistant. He has also created excellent guides for Time Machine too.

  • Can i back up one G5 via firewire and another via USB to the same drive

    No, you can not directly attach one drive to two computers at the same time, period. In particular, you can't use it for Time machine this way.

  • Can't find certain servers connecting via Airport Express

    For the last couple of weeks I've been intermittantly unable to access certain websites (time.com / nytimes.com) when connected to the Net via Airport Express. Sometimes these pages come up, more often then not, they don't. I have no problem receiving email or accessing other sites. Also, I always loose my connection when streaming news stories from NPR. However, I have no such problem when connected directly via ethernet. Thus, it seems to be some glitch with airport express. Does this make sense to anyone?

    I have 3 printers connected to the network via Ethernet and as long as I'm connected directly to the network I can print but as soon as I connect to one of the 4 Airport Express units I have I can no longer print.
    You don't describe what happens when you try to print.
    Does the IP address your computer is granted in both configurations match in the first three elements (such as 10.0.1.5 and 10.0.1.7)? If not, then your AirPort Express unit is creating a new "subnet", which can cause problems when your computer tries to communicate with the printer.
    Try adding the printer in the "Print & Fax" panel of System Preferences by choosing the "IP" option and entering the IP address of the printer.

  • Where can i find vis to communicate (via RS232) with a controller ?

    Hi,
    i use Labview 6.0 with windowsXP. I have a PCI/RS232 car to connect to my controller.
    I'd like to command my controller (no vis available).

    The driver you search is not available in our web site however you can contact MicroFab Technologies to see if they develop it for LV.

  • Can't find a lookup defined via Oracle Apps in the FND_LOOKUP_TYPES table

    Hi,
    i defined a lookup via Oracle Apps, but when i query for it in the FND_LOOKUP_TYPES table, it does not show up. Does something more needs to be done for the lookup definition to appear in the table?
    Thanks,Smita

    hi Hussein,
    In Oracle Apps 11.5.10, I created a Manufacturing Lookup, then queried for it as follows:
    select * from fnd_lookup_types where lookup_type = 'XXBREG_LABEL_PURPOSE'.
    It returns 0 rows. Why is the table not acknowledging the lookup I defined via Oracle Apps?
    thanks,

  • No laughing...  I have a Canon ZR 300 camcorder.  I can not see it when connected via firewire in system profile and iMovie doesn't see it either.  Any suggestions?

    I have an old Canon ZR 300 camcorder that I'm trying to connect to my 17" MBP via 9 pin firewire (its a 4 pin to 9 pin cable as the MBP doesn't have a 4 pin firewire - figured it was backwards compatible).  Anyhow, iMovie 09 doesn't see the camcorder.  I checked under System Profile and then under Firewire and it doesn't see it either.  In fact I get some red letters about not seeing firewire devices.  I'm running Lion.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work?  if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
    Thanks
    No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
    Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)

  • Can I output sound from MBP via firewire or usb to DAC

    I would like to output sound (iTunes) from my mid 2008 MBP to a digital to analog converter using either firewire or usb to play on my home stereo.
    Is this possible and if so, could someone step me through how to accomplish this?
    Regards,
    Jim P.

    This is posible, you need to do some reaearch to find out what will be the optimum converter that is compatible.  Off the the side of my head...I don't know. But it is doable.

  • N95 Nokia Software Updater can't find phone, but P...

    Hi,
    The Lastest version of Nokia Software Updater can't find my phone(connected via USB). But Nokia PC Suite connects to my phone. Very weird.
    I'm running windows vista business, Dell Laptop.
    I have checked(using product code:0548763), and my N95 Firmware can be upgraded to v12.#, currently firmware is v11.#
    I have disabled my windows firewall, and unistalled my McAffee anti-virus.
    I think the issue might be with vista, because i successfully upgraded my phone on windows XP from v10.# to v11.#
    But then PC Suite shouldn't work, on vista? I tried adding NSU to data execution protection exclusion list.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    i dont think the problem is with PC OS ..
