FCE doesn't see camera after 10.4.3 upgrade

Here I Go Again...a few weeks ago, I got on a discussion thread about difficulties I was having getting Final Cut Express HD to see my Canon Optura camera. After a bit of back-and-forth with Tom Wolsky, he clarified what my problem was, and I subsequently obtained an additional FireWire PCI card, which I attached my two LaCie drives and a DV converter to while having the camera connected to the system's FireWire port. Everything worked fine after that. Well, yesterday I upgraded (my Quicksilver dual G4) to 10.4.3 and Final Cut can't see the camera under any circumstances. (iMovie still allows me to switch freely between the camera and the converter) I removed Final Cut app, preferences and User Data folder, restarted from system disk and ran permissions verifications, reinstalled FCE, removed the drives and the converter with the camera alone connected to system's firewire and then the PCI card, and...nothing. I have been unable to use Final Cut since I got it, I end up doing all my work in iMovie and I'm about ready to cry. What am I missing? HELP!!!

Normally when going to a new operating system such as from Panther to Tiger it's a good idea to do a clean wipe of the hard drive and install.
There is a problem with QuickTime 7 in this upgrade path. There was a sticky at the top of old forum that explained the problem and the solution. Unfortunately it's gone in the new forum.
This article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 contains some of the information. Try that and see if it helps.

  • ESX 3.5u3 doesn't see network after firmware update on x6250

    Hello,
    We have got several Sun blade x6250 with ESX 3.5u3 with latest updates.
    We have updated firmware on one of them from ELOM 4.0.45 -> ILOM 3.0.3.33 recently.
    Now a ESX server doesn't see network:
    Node ISOLATED form Network. Either repair network or override agent startup ...
    I executed embedded PC-Check test, it saw all four NICs and said that they were 'Success'.
    Also, I cleared statistic on a Cisco Catalist interfaces where the blade was connected.
    After a day 'Receive' statistic is 0
    Also, I tried to load the blade with DSL Linux, it didn't see network too.
    Do you have any idea concerning the situation?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Andrey.

  • New laptop doesn't see iPhone after user import from old laptop

    Transferred my user account from my MacBook to new MacBook Pro, and now the MBP doesn't see my iPhone. Anyone else have this issue and know the solution? I don't mind wiping and restoring the iPhone. (Though I'd prefer not to.)
    BTW - deleted my account and all files from the MacBook prior to verifying my iPhone works on the new MacBook Pro. So I can't "go back" to my old machine.

    Once again, I answer my own question... Leaving the iPhone plugged in during a restart worked.

  • FCP 5.1.4 doesn't see Firewire after installing OS 10.4.10 update

    I recently installed the OS X v. 10.4.10 updater via Software update to both my Intel-based MacPro and PowerPC G5. Since doing that update, I have encountered a number of problems that I have seemingly been able to rectify by doing an Archive and Reinstall of the OS back to the original version that shipped with the computer(s): OS X 10.4.8 and Quicktime 7.1.3
    However, I cannot get any device to connect to either machine via FireWire 400 now. My LaCie external hard drive connects fine via FireWire 800 on the G5. However it, nor several different Sony DV decks, Sony DV cameras, a JVC HDV deck will connect for capturing in FinalCutPro. ALL of these devices were connecting fine last week before all of this happened with the OS and Quicktime updates.
    I have spent the past two days reading forums and articles and see that many people have experienced problems with FireWire audio - but anyone else run into this?
    I tried downloading and installing the FireWireSDK23 Developer tool, as recommended to rectify the FireWire Audio problem, but I still can't get decks or cameras to show up in FCP.
    I've seen various posts about zapping PRAM and resetting Open Firmware...not anything I've done before and sounds a little scary.
    Have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    With your firewire drives plugged in and on and a deck plugged in and on, boot you system from a cold start.
    Once it's up and running, open up SYSTEM PROFILER>Hardware>Firewire
    Do all the drives and the deck show up?
    - If not, turn off the system and unplug the power cable and the firewire cable from the computer for at least 15 minutes (this re-sets the firewire bus). Go have one of your favorite cold beverages. After the computer has sat quietly and you've enjoyed your drink, plug everything back in, boot it up and look at the System Profiler again. If everything shows up, go on to the next step. If devices do not appear, you probably need to reset your PRAM and/or PMU.
    - If all the devices show up in Profiler, try to capture a short bit with iMovie.
    - if it doesn't work, come back here and we'll start over.
    - if it works, try the Quicktime 'delete receipts and reinstall' process (search this forum). You most likely have a bunged installation of QT.
    good luck.

  • Firewire bus doesn't see camera

    I have had constant problems getting my 3 new computers to "see" the camera. Prevous discussions prompted me to trash the plist - that didn't work. I have 25 students, 8 cameras (one of them brand new Canon GL2), and virtually none of them can be used on the new computers! This makes a weekly broadcast very difficult. This MUST be a computer problem, since the system profiler doesn't recognize that the cameras are plugged in. This was not a problem until about 3 weeks ago, and sudenly all three computers stopped recognizing the cameras at once.
    I'm begging for help here - I appreciate anything I can get!

    I'm beginning to suspect that the camera DV ports are burning out. I read something on here that alluded to something called hot plugging that would burn them out. Last year, when the Panasonics quit exporting, I sent them in on the extended warranty, and was told that the motherboards were fried. They worked except for the DV ports. What is hot plugging? Is it something we are doing, because we have zero cameras out of 9 that will export now, and I really dont' know what we'll do. The cheaper the camera, the faster that port burns out.
    Also, the computers are recognizign the firewire ports themselves, just not the cameras.

  • ISight - doesn't see camera help

    When photobooth is launched i get an app is using cam: All apps are closed; did the permissions thing, zapped the PRAM, did the restsrt powerup with the cord out all night still no green light doesn't show anywhere is the sysinfo help
    thx

    You're welcome, SmokeOpp
    If I don't see it on USB in sysprofile is it a hardware issue ?
    Having tried the suggestions above, you probably do have a hardware problem. I suggest that you contact your retailer or Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service while you still have warranty coverage. As you say, it is "..too soon to have something like this happen", and this will not get better with time.
    Although it has never helped me solve any problem on my Macs, you can try Apple Hardware Test (AHT) to see what it says about your hardware. The fact that AHT does not find a problem does not mean that your Mac does not have one.
    If you want to try one last thing before seeing your Service Technician, you can consider Reinstalling Mac OS X, but do not be surprised if reinstalling does not fix your problem. It is merely my only remaining possibility.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Cheers,

  • ITunes doesn't see iPhone4 after recent update of iTunes

    I recently updated iTunes. The update went smoothly, but immediately after the update iTunes no longer shows my iPhone4. The diagnostics show that everything is okay with exception of the no iPhone connected error. I've run through all of the Apple helps but nothing has fixed the problem. The same problem occurs on other user profiles on the same computer. The computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 shows the iPhone and I can access it as a camera or drive. I've re-installed the phone USB driver but still no go. I can plug my phone into another computer and the sync works fine. Anyone else work through the same problem?

    Try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as described in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstall the latest version of 64-bit iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly (uninstalling all components in the order specified) or it will not be successful.  Also, unistalling iTunes only removes the application; you iTunes library and data will not be touched.

  • Iphoto doesn't see camera under different logins

    iphoto recognizes my new Nikon camera when I am logged in (administrator) but does not see the camera when one of my kids is logged in. They can access and use iphoto and the usb sees the camera with system profiler when they are logged in, but i photo does not. Image Capture is also set to open iphoto when a camera is connected. Any ideas on what to try to get iphoto to see the camera when they are logged in? I even tried putting iphoto in the shared folder with no luck. It's driving me crazy. Thanks.

    Thank you.

    Hi James Cook2,
    If you are having issues with an external USB card reader when used with your MacBook Pro (but that works with other computers), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular the portion about checking with the manufacturer to verify compatibility and any updated drivers:

  • Mobo doesn't "see" hdd after changing BIOS

    I have this strange problem. After changing my mobo's BIOS couple of days ago I had a strange "lack of hdd" problem with the new BIOS. I turned off my computer and turned it on again - I was really amazed to see Windows booting normally - everything suddently was ok. I thought that this is a strange behaviour of the BIOS ( 'couse it's probably BIOS thats respnosible for looking for hardware while booting the computer ) and I decided to downgrade the BIOS and to install the old version - the previous one ( from 1.6 to 1.5 ). So I did.
    For a while I thought everything is like it used to be before playing with BIOS .... till today :(
    I wanted to restart my Computer and while booting the same thing happened - it was written that there is no HDD in the computer and so it cannot boot the OS - I tried to do smth inside the BIOS but I couldnt do anything - like if it was really disconnected - strange thing that the DVD-ROM which is attached using the same IDE cable to the mobo was present in the BIOS ....
    I remembered that the last time when it happened the turnOFF->turnON method worked - this time it was ok as well.
    But it's still a problem for me - why does it happen anyway ? Did someone have his kind of problem ?
    Can I do anything about it ?
    PS. my mobo is K7T266Pro2-U with the BIOS ver.1.50 (downgraded from 1.60), OS is WindowsXP with SP1
    The HDD is Seagate 20GB but I don't think it is it's fault.
    Thank you in advance !

    Thanks maesus for answering so soon.
    I think I'll to just that - I understand that the Quick Boot option turned on omites something while booting the comp. ?
    Hope the computer won't boot much slower after turning off that option.
    PS. do you think a new Hard-Disc would solve the problem ?
    hope the hdd isn't dying  ;(

  • Blinking Amber Light, Apple Utilities doesn't see AEBS - after working fine

    After 1.5 years of successfully using my AEBS, last night I suddenly got the blinking amber light. Further Apple Utilities doesn't detect it either. I had not made any changes to the config and the DSL modem seems to be just fine - I can hardwire connect to the internet. I've turned off both the DSL modem and AEBS and restarted them in sequence (modem first then AEBS) and nothing. My next step will be to reset the AEBS unless someone has other suggestions.
    Any ideas...

    Aha!!! Mystery solved and fixed.
    The new baby monitor introduced into the room is the culprit. Wouldn't have thought that the interference would have been so strong as to completely haywire the AEBS but that is the case indeed. Luckily we only need the baby monitor at night when we're not online anyway.

  • Quicktime doesn't see camera

    Hi there.
    Having a problem with capturing video via either Quicktime or FCP.
    I'm running QT Pro 7.1.5 on 12"PB OSX 10.4.6
    System Profiler sees the camera. iMovie sees the camera.
    But when i try to start a new Movie Recording QT says no device and FCP crashes when i attempt to open a capture window.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    D

    Dave,
    a. why not start with updating your OS to 10.4.11 and the required QT-version
    b. you don't mention what camera you use and in what format the video is recorded.
