Computer not reading fire wire devices

My computer is able to read my fire wire hard drive and download stuff onto my ipod but when I hook up devices such as my camera or my Canopus ADVC100 it is not able to detect them. This happens in both FCP and imovie. Anyone else ever have this problem?

    Yes, you need a > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    However,,, if your audio interface uses FireWire 400, then you will also need a FireWire 800 to 400 cable or adapter.

  • Computer not reading HDMI adapter

    I use a macbook (mid-2010) and use OS X Yosemite. I have used in the past an HDMI adapter to connect my laptop to my TV. However, recently my computer is not reading the adapter. The screen flashes but under devices and under sound preferences no device appears. I checked the HDMI cable with my cable box and it works. The adapter has only been used a couple of times so I don't think that is the problem. Under devices the only option that appears is resolution and brightness. Please help me figure out how to solve this problem. Thank you in advance!

    Hello adupre3,
    Thanks for the question, and great isolation so far. The following resource provides some additional steps that you can attempt, including checking all of the connections and resetting the PRAM and SMC:

  • Computer not reading Nano

    I have a second generation nano. I am connecting it to my computer with the USB wire but the computer doesn't seem to detect it. This is a sudden problem as it works fine normally but now it doesnt. It is not a problem with the wire because it works fine with other iPods. I have tried my iPod with other computers and it doesn't work. However, when it is plugged it, the iPod screen says it is charging. Can anybody help?

    Why in the world would you toss out a computer because of a virus? Why not just reformat the hard drive and start over instead? Anyway...
    Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • ITunes on new computer not reading MP3 tags

    I have transferred my library of MP3 that were ripped from CD from my old computer to my new computer, and many of the files do not show the album name or artwork, etc. in iTunes.  If I look at file properties in Windows, however, all the information is present for the MP3 - album, artist, etc.  I have found that there is a field called "Encoded by" and is says "iTunes 11.0.2.26", or some other is an older version of iTunes.  If this iTunes version is older than the latest version of iTunes on my new computer, then iTunes does not read the MP3 tags correctly.  If I manually change that iTunes version in Windows to the latest iTunes, then that file is fixed!!!
    My question is, what is the fastest way to make this change for all the files that are showing old info in the "encoded by" field?  The files are all buried in various artis->album folders in the music folder, and I can't see any way to change this field from iTunes, I can only do it from windows explorer.  If I could do it in iTunes it would be fast because I could group all the bad files together, select them all, and change them in one step. 
    Please help!  I am close to fixing it!

    Are you using the latest downloaded version of iTunes from Apple.com, instead of a version that came on disc with the iPod? According to this article, Windows Vista 64-bit required iTunes 7.6 or later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1426
    Also, make sure you got the version of iTunes 8 for Windows Vista 64-bit

  • Fire wire devices can not be displayed

    Hi,
    I have on my Mac Pro the problem that the Hard disks that are connected with the Firewire connections don't display or work. Also the Audio interface (Digi003) does not respond.
    When I check in the Mac information (about this mac), and I check the Firewire section, I get the messeage, displayed in red : "firewire devices can not be displayed".
    Of course is my question : what does this mean, and what do I have to do about it?
    Thanks for answering.
    Best regards,
    Peter

    If you haven't rebooted since this started, try that first. Otherwise reset the SMC.

  • FIRE WIRE DEVICES

    what should i do ? when ever i hook up a firewire 800 device to my imac it does not see the device. i have a brand new  G DRIVE AND IT DOES NOT RECONIZE the drive. Iam using OS X10.9.3
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    Iam using brand new cables
    light come on, on the hard drive but the drive will not mount

    Does the device appear in the list in System Information > FireWire? (About This Mac > More Info > System Report.)
    If there's nothing there, then your FW port may be toast. It is possible to damage them, particularly by hot-swapping.

  • Computer Not Reading Cd?

    I keep putting various cd's in (I listen to a lot of music) and they're not coming up on the computer or in iTunes. It used to just happen every now and then, but now it's almost constant. I've just tried three different CD's and it's not recognizing them at all. When I put a disk in, it takes it, thinks about it, then spits it out again. Is this something that I should bring it to the experts for?

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC; then, try again.

  • Computer not reading ipod at all

    i bought my nano like a month ago... i connected my nano to the computer and all the songs went on it... a week later though i got a message saying i needed to upgrade so i did and in the middle of the upgrading process it froze and all my songs were deleted from the ipod now when i try to connect it itunes doesn't read it and when i try to open 'my computer' it freezes. i've tried resetting the nano and i even tried using another computer but the same thing happens can anybody help?

    Disconnect the iPod and close the iPod updater and iTunes. then try again. If it doesn't work, then close both again, and push CtrlAltDel and end the iTunesHelper.exe and iPodservice.exe processes. I'm sure you did this first, but just doublecheck no file are running off the iPod.
