CalDigit AV Pro drive is only being recognized as a camera

In FCPX import, CalDigit AV Pro drive is only being recognized as a camera, not as a hard drive. How can I get FCPX to recognize it as a drive?

This usually is caused by have some folder at the top level of the drive which is named something that could be in a camera.
Names like DCIM, Private, Video, AVCHD and others.
Just find the folder with a suspect name, and change the name or store it inside another folder.

My new iPhone is only being recognized as a camera, everything apple website suggests does not help!

I just bought a new iPhone. When i plug it into my computer the only thing that happens is getting pop up saying its found a camera. Apparently this is normal. But iTunes does not open at all, and when I open iTunes, no matter what I do, my iPhone is unable to be recognized.. which, obviously makes me unable to upload any songs at all.. which defeats the purpose of me even having this phone, because that's why i got it.
I've tried everything apple has suggested. Yes, my cord works. When I plug my regular iPod in, my computer still recognizes that. I have completely uninstalled then reinstalled the latest version of iTunes. Nothing. I've restarted my fully charged Iphone plenty of times. Nothing. I have restarted my computer. Nothing. i love my iphone, but this is VERY frustrating. Please help.

This worked for me, impious, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I used it for iOS7 and iTunes 11.1

I've also been getting an image with the folder and question mark. I've tried everything on the apple support page but it doesn't seem to work either.

Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk. Duh! The application for the home is in the mail.

I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

A few things to try:
1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
2-Zap the PRAM
3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3. Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

I transfered all my G5 files onto a drive and am now trying to transfer to my new Mac Mini. I've selected my source as "another disc" but my drive (a rugged 500GB drive) isn't being recognized. Any tips?

It is recognized as a camera because it IS a camera. It should also be recognized by iTunes. See this tip: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

External drive isn't being recognized

I have two external drives, each one an image of the internal drives. I have moved around my entire stereo and computer setups, new desks, that kind of thing. Now one of the external backups is being 'seen' and the other is not. Both appear to be working by way of lights on the front of them, but only one is showing in the finder as recognized.
I tried switching out the USB cables and that made no difference, so I ruled out the USB cable possibility. I tried plugging them into different usb ports, no difference. The 'dead' one appears to turn on and has power, is confirmed plugged into the computer, but isn't being 'seen' by the finder.
It is an IOgear ION external hard drive.
Any troubleshooting ideas or suggestions on what I can do? I would like to ensure it is working as it is intended to safeguard the video data I have on it.
I have a powermac G4 1.42 duel, mirror doors, 2 gigs internal ram, latest updates on all software available, using USB 2.0 card/adapter.
Thanks

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.6 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Good Luck!
Cheers!

External Hard Drive is not being recognized by Firewire 400

Hi everyone,
I update my Mac OS X (Leopard) last night, so this morning when I was going to connect my External Hard Drive (EDD) to my MacBook; the Firewire, which I normally used through Firewire 400, did not recognized my EDD. However, I tried by connecting using the USB option and it recognized the EDD working perfect. Thus, I would like to know how do I turn the Firewire 400 on/available, since it seems not being working properly.
Thanks a lot,
M
Macbook (Intel) early 2007.

if you have the power supply that comes with the external, use that if you haven't use it instead of rely on bus powered port.
connect your external, click blue apple on top left corner > about this mac > click more and on system profiler click firewire, and see if your external detected there.
You can try to reset PRAM to refresh your hardware behavior too:

Good Luck.

External Drives are not being recognized

Why is my Brand New Macbook Pro not recognizing any external drives? Neither Flash nor external?

CClinton, thank you very much. I did as you suggested, with one day to spare! Took it to the Genius Bar, although the computer passed spec tests, the computer did present external drive issues, some sort of lag-time and he said the computer was not storing things properly. Apple replaced the computer with no problem. The replacement computer is running much better, it is almost inexplicable....but ther is a noticeable difference somehow. The computer is faster and more responsive, and the battery does not poop out as quickly.
Thanks again....

My thumb drive isn't being recognized on the windows.

My thumb drive is being recoginzed on my mac but it is not recognized on Windows. It said "Unkown Category" I believe it happened when I did something to my thumb drive so that it will be put on password. I don't want that anymore, I just want my thumb drive to be recoginzed on both windows and mac. Please help.

You have to erase the drive to reformat. If you have any data on the drive, copy it to your computer or an external drive temporarily.
Open Disk Utility, select the drive, and then the Erase tab. There is a drop down box in that tab which allows you to select the format. Once you have selected FAT (32), click the erase button.

Lightscribe Drive NO LONGER Being Recognized

I have a Lightscribe drive in my HP P6540F. I used it six months ago successfully, but not since. Now, when I try to use it, my software reports that there is no Lightscribe compatible hard drive to be found. I also happened to have an external Lightscribe drive and installed it to use as a back-up. Same prompt...no Lightscribe drive hard drive found.
I installed a second CD labeling/etching software, but it didn't fix the problem, i.e., same prompts back from both.
In researching the issue, I noticed that the former Lightscribe website is now defunct. I smell a legal issue.
Has HP severed ties with Lightscribe? I am wondering if the HP updates over the past six months have defeated the Lightscribe capabilities of my (two) drives, i.e., the hardware.
If that's not the case, any suggestions for resurrecting my drives? Possibly a registry issue?

Hi,
Review the information posted in this thread.
HP dropped support for Lightscribe long ago and you'll be lucky to even find a new Lightscribe optical drive even being manufactured.

My external hard drive isn't being recognized

I have an extrenal drive I used to back up my dvds for faster viewing and the drive is going out I think. It will disconnect midway through movies, when uploading or downloading to/from it it will sometimes just disconnect itself. about 75-80% of the time its plugged in it wont show up. I can't attempt to transfer more than about 3 gigs of information or else if ejects itself, and it won't even show up in disk utility.
How can I get this crazy drive to be recognized so I can keep working on transfering the data back off it before it dies completely

OK, so are there any volumes listed for that disk in Disk Utility? And how does it not allow you to repair the disk? Is the option grayed out? Try clicking on the disk AND the volume and comparing the options for each.
For example:
149.1 GB FUJITSU MHW2160BHPL Media
|- Macintosh HD
|- disk0s3
186.3 GB Prolific PL3507 Combo Device *(On this disk…)*
|- Time Machine *(…here is my Time Machine volume.)*
|- Windows Extra

With the new FCPX 10.1, my external hard drive is not being recognized.

Today I updated my FCPX application to 10.1, but when I plugged in my 'passport for mac' (which has all my important 500 GB projects on it)
It does not come up like it used to. I have tried to import the files as libraries, but either it doesnt work, or I am doing it wrong.

File>Upgrade Projects and Events, then take the Locate route and choose that drive.
