Sony DSR-1500a not recognized by Mac Pro 2009

My first post. Hope I'm doing this right....
I have been working with a Mac Pro 1,1 Quad (OS 10.5.6) using a Sony DSR 1500a DVCAM player/recorder with out any issue using firewire 400 and Adobe Premiere and FCS2. I have recently purchased a Mac Pro 2009 (OS 10.5.7) with FCS2 and with Avid MC 3.5.
I cannot get the DSR-1500a to be seen by the OS or FCS2. The only twist is that if I daisy chain my DSR-1500a thru my Avid DNA Mojo. I can capture into Avid Media Composer no problem. I use a FW400 (6pin) from the DSR to the Mojo and a FW400 (6pin) to FW800 cable from the Mojo to the Mac Pro.
I am starting to assume that using a FW400 (6pin) to FW800 cable does not work with the 1500a. I do not see it listed in system profiler when connect directly to the Mac Pro. I have adjusted the DSR setting to iLink and also have tried 9Pin setting but neither work. Tried more than one cable as well.
I can successfully connect my cheap Sony TRV38 via a FW400 (4pin) to FW800 cable but not the professional deck...Go Figure...
I know it's not the deck as it works with the Mac Pro 1,1 using the FW400. Is there an OS setting I am missing? Do I need to buy a FW 400 card? Please help! Thanks

As I suspected... I had to buy a 1394a firewire card to enable the communication between the Mac Pro and the Sony DSR-1500a. Apparently the DSR does not subscribe to the reverse compatibility that Apple has forced on us of going from a FW400 (6pin) to FW800 (9pin) in reverse compatibility mode. I guess Apple can take the Sony DSR-1500a off of their qualified hardware list. If I have missed something, someone please enlighten me. Until then, looks like Apple has struck again. Oh I know, I'll go out and buy a $1000 capture card. Wow! I thought I was getting a well engineered product, instead I got a money pit! Forcing a Mini Display Port down our throats, NO firewire 400 ports, 8 slots of ram on tri-channel memory...Who's the engineer that came up with that one? Screeeaaammm!!!
OK I feel better now... Who do I make the check out to? %#@^

External HDs, Digi002 suddenly not recognized by Mac Pro or G5

I have a very strange problem that I have not seen on any of the forums. Neither of my two Macs, a G5 or a newly purchased Mac Pro, recognize any of my external hard drives or Digi002, which is a controller used by Pro Tools. I have changed the ports, cables, everything. None of them will mount or be recognized by either computer. They do not show up in Disk Utilities or System Profiler.
Neither of my two Macs, a G5 or a newly purchased Mac Pro (I just purchased this today), recognize any of my external hard drives or Digi002, which is a controller used by Pro Tools. I have changed the ports, cables, everything. None of them will mount or be recognized by either computer. They do not show up in Disk Utilities or System Profiler.
All of the five external HDs I own, the external DVD burner, and Digi002 stopped mounting/being recognized on my G5. I needed to upgrade my computer anyway, so I purchased a Mac Pro. None of the above are recognized by the Mac Pro either.
I have tried FW400, FW800, and USB slots in both computers, and none of them will mount or be recognized.
Interestingly, all three of my USB drives mount in the USB ports that will not show any of my external HDs.
_*G5 (OS10.5.8, G5 PowerMac7,2, 4G RAM):*_
- None of the four external drives or Digi002 (FW400 connection) shows up. This does not matter whether it is USB, FW400, or FW800. Only USB drives show up.
_*Mac Pro (OS10.6.6, MacPro1,1, 4G RAM)*_
- None of the external drives or Digi002 (FW400 connection) shows up. This does not matter whether it is USB, FW400, or FW800. Only USB drives show up.
- I cannot get iTunes to play through the 1/8" output.
- Pro Tools 9.0.0 does not have input/output, and of course, does not recognize Digi002.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Your new Mac Pro, by default, boots 64-bit kernel mode; requires 64-bit drivers or you will need to switch to 32-bit mode. At least to test.
Non-system drives are best formatted with the latest OS; and use GUID rather than Apple Partition Map.
Between a new Mac, new OS and all the changes, try a very simple approach.
Also, hope that you didn't migrate / import or use Setup to bring applications over to the Mac Pro; and don't use the G5 drives until you can reformat those to GUID.

APC UPS Not Recognized by Mac Pro / Yosemite

Following an upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite, the Energy Saver Preferences Panel no longer recognizes my UPS (APC Back-UPS BR 1500G). Additionally, the apcagent client v3.14.12 says the UPS is "unknown", returning a status of "network error". Prior to the system upgrade, it worked nominally.
I performed the following trouble-shooting steps:
1) after running About This Mac | System Report... the UPS does show up in the System Report, under Hardware | USB: Back-UPS BR1500G FW:865.L2 .D USB FW:L2:
- this exonerates the Mac Pro hardware as the cause of the problem
2) changed the USB port receiving the cable from the UPS. result: no change
3) uninstalled/reinstalled agcagent. result: no change
4) performed a port scan using Network Utility. It did not report port 3551 on localhost as open (should it?)
5) deleted the Energy Saver preference files com.apple.PowerManagement.plist, com.apple.AutoWake.plist. result: no change
6) unplugged and turned off UPS, waited three minutes, replugged it and booted up. result: no change
7) unplugged USB cable for UPS from my Mac Pro, and plugged it into my PowerBook G4. result: Energy Saver preference pane properly reports the APC UPS
- this exonerates the UPS and the USB cable as the cause of the problem
So short of doing a clean re-install of Yosemite, I am out of ideas. I would appreciate some help!
http://apcupsd-ups-control-software.10985.n7.nabble.com/Yosemite-apcagent-td8675 .html

APC's software was not installed. That said, I uninstalled apcagent and rebooted. Results were the same: Energy Saver doesn't detect the UPS.
An earlier thread on this topic hints that this may very well be a Yosemite software bug: Yosemite doesn't detect my UPS
A user reports that a clean reinstall of Yosemite did not fix their problem.

2nd Generation Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or My Computer

I bought a 2nd generation Shuffle for my sister in August. It was washed once in November or September she cant remember. It has worked perfectly fine. The only problem is that when we plug it into my mom's desktop it says the device is not recognized. I have updated to iTunes 7 or whatever the latest is, I have done the 5 R's that Apple Recommends. I even downloaded and tried the Reset Utility sill nothing. But what I don't understand is I can plug it into my laptop and it works perfectly fine. If anyone can help I would appreciate it cause im going to school soon and she wont be able to user her iPod and I wanted to get info before I submitted a service request. Thanks

If you bought it in August, it must be a 1st Gen shuffle...2nd Gen wasn't available for purchase (in stores) until November.
Are you plugging it directly into a USB port in the back of your mom's computer?

My 2nd generation shuffle not appearing in itunes. What can I do?

my 2nd generation shuffle not appearing in itunes. What can I do?

If you have not done so already, first try using a different USB port that is directly on the computer (not a hub).
If that does not help, I would shut down (completely power off) your computer. Disconnect the shuffle and do this reset procedure

Start up your computer. Run iTunes. Try connecting the shuffle again.

I have a 2nd generation shuffle and want to use it for my grandson. On connecting to iTunes it wants to download everything I have on iTunes automatically and I do not know how to get it to manual upload

I have a 2nd generation shuffle and want to use it for my grandson. On connecting to my PC it asks the question ". do you want to delete everything on the shuffle and replace with that on your iTunes". I do not want to do this I want to start again and manually add items. How do I get it to do this please

A 2G Shuffle can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. So if you are trying to connect and use the Shuffle with a new computer/iTunes library, you'll need tor restore it before you can begin syncing or manualy adding content to it from the new library.
So go ahead and restore the iPod and then configure it for manual management. See this article for more details on configuring the shuffle for manual management.

Years ago I purchased a Creative Labs Inc. Travelsound i50 speaker for a 2nd generation shuffle. I lost that shuffle, so I purchased the latest Shuffle, which obviously does not fit this speaker. Is there another similar speaker device I can purchase?

I purchased a Creative Labs Travelsound i50 speaker through Apple some years ago for my 2nd generation Shuffle. I purchased a new Shuffle, and obviously this style does not fit the speaker. Is there another speaker that can be purchased to fit my new device?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

My 2nd generation shuffle will not sync with itunes. Why?

I have done everything I can think of. I have restarted my mac several times, restarted Itunes and my 2nd generation shuffle will not show up in my iTunes. I just updated my iTunes and Mac to the latest version. Any help? Why wont my itunes connect to my ipod shuffle??

When iTunes is NOT running, does the shuffle show up on the Desktop, or appear in Disk Utility (when you run it)? Or, if you run System Profiler
Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report (if running Lion)
does the shuffle appear as a device under Hardware/USB?
If it is being recognized by the Mac in some way, you may be able to get it working again, using the iPod Reset Utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
This utility is for 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffles only, as a "lower level" reset when you can't do a regular Restore in iTunes.
If the Mac is not seeing the shuffle at all, there is probably a problem with the USB connection, probably the USB cable/dock or the connection point on the shuffle (headphone jack) becoming faulty. To rule out the USB port in the Mac, be sure to try different ports. If you have been using a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), be sure to try a direct port on the Mac. And be sure to try it with ALL other USB devices (except standard mouse and keyboard) disconnected, in case there is some USB device conflict happening.

2ND GENERATION SHUFFLE RESET

I need to reset my 2nd generation shuffle according to itunes, but it appears the reset utility does not support windows 7 64 bit. HELP???

As you already aware the reset utility only works with Windows 2000 and XP. So if you need to use this utility, you'll need to find or use a PC running either of these operating systems.
Once you have, you can reconnect it to your Vista machine as norma.
I also want to know if the ipod shuffle has an internal battery?
Yes it does as all iPod models (and most handheld electronics) do.
In my case could it be completely dead due to non-usage for a very long time? I have noticed that I left it ON for all those months that I was not using it. Could it be that the battery got so drained that it reached a point of "no-return"?
Yes that is definitely a possibility as the lithium ion batteries in iPods need constant activity to maintain any sort of charge.

Can I use a USB for 2nd generation shuffle with a 3rd generation shuffle

Can I use a USB for 2nd generation shuffle with a 3rd generation shuffle?
Seems to be a good fit, but my computer doesn't seem to recognise it.

By "3rd gen charger" are you referring to the USB cable with the
4 ring audio connector on the other end?
If so, the answer is again NO...

2nd Generation Shuffle crashes

I have a 1st generation Shuffle that works super. My Wife purchased a 2nd generation Shuffle and returned it under warranty because it would lock up in the middle of a song and would not restart. We tried restoring, reloading the music, everything. Apple replaced it, and we have the same problem with the new one. It will play 4 or 5 songs, then lock up after playing maybe 30 seconds of the next song. If you turn the Shuffle off, unplug the headset, plug the headset back in, and turn it on, it will play again. It will play maybe 7 or 8 songs and then lock up in the middle of another song. I have restored the Shuffle with no music, reloaded all of the music again, set the settings so it will convert all music to 128K bitrate, but it still does the same thing, crashes.

Since no one responded, I called Apple, who couldn't resolve the problem other than to ship a second replacement shuffle. The new one works fine after dealing with two previous duds.

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch. I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1. When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
