FCP 2 doesn't recognize Canon XL1s

Hello. I have Final Cut Express 2.0.3 installed on an iMac G5 10.4.5. FCP will not recognize my Canon XL1s. Not a faulty cable - I've tried two, one brand new. I've tried various Easy Set ups modes. Tried rebooting with all devices unlugged, etc. Nuthin'. If anyone knows of a solution I would appreciate the help. Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 20"

1. Does the camera work when you use iMovie?
If so, you may have a funky Quicktime installation. Do the full Quicktime reinstall. (see below for directions)
2. Does the camera work if you have no external hard drive in the firewire chain?
If so, you have the classic 'Canon collision' on the firewire bus. The usual solution is to add a second firewire bus using an add-in PCI card (for desktops) or a PCMCIA card for Powerbooks. Unfortunetly, your computer does not allow either of these options - so your options are:
a) capture to the system hard drive, unplug the camera, reattach the external drive and move the material over.
b) try capturing using a different camera that plays better with external hard drives.
Good luck.

To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot

FCP 7.0.3 and Canon XL1s

I have just purchased a Canon XL1s and am having huge problems capturing footage of a decent quality using FCP 7.0.3
Having done some searching about the Canon camera and FCP i used, from the 'Easy Setup' menu
Format: PAL
Use: DV-Pal FireWire Basic
When i have captured the footage from the camera it is grainy and looks like it has been recorded from a very substandard device. I have tried a huge combination of settings all to no avail.
On the camera it was set to:
Movie Mode normal
16:9 was enabled
audio 12 bit ST-1 (but the audio sounds good no matter what settings i use to capture)
I have also tried capturing using iMovie and get the same results.
I am using Sony DV premium 60minute MiniDV tapes (both tapes have been brand new)
Any advice would be helpful

The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

IMac doesn't recognize Canon FS200 camera

I purchased a Canon FS200 camera, but the computer does not recognize it. I called Canon's support and they told me that I need to have a higher version of iMovie than 6.0.3. Is this right? Did anyone else have the same problem? I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

A couple of items...
1) We have a school TV studio with 12 new FS200 cameras. Sometimes we have to quit iMovie when attaching the camera to get it to recognize the camera. We are using iMovie 09 with a USB connection. This usually works.
2) If you get the files from the camera card, you can use the .mod files. They can directly be imported into iMovie 09 by using the "import" menu item.
3) If you want to use something like Final Cut Pro, you DO need to convert the files using something like "Any Video Converter Pro". We tried Streamclip, and although free, it was MUCH slower. AVCP is around $35 I think.
Hope this helps!

LR4 doesn't recognize Canon 7D in tethering mode

Hi,
I'm trying to get working tethering mode in LR4 with my Canon 7D and I have "No Camera Detected" in control panel of tethering capture and BUSY indicator is ON on my camera. It works just fine using EOS Utility: I can do shots, change camera settings and so on but I really want this feature inside of LR because of variety of features of LR.
System info from LR is:
Lightroom version: 4.3 [865747]
Operating system: (Build 9200)
Version: 6.2 [9200]
Application architecture: x64
System architecture: x64
Logical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 3.4 GHz
Built-in memory: 16268.1 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 16268.1 MB
Real memory used by Lightroom: 221.0 MB (1.3%)
Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 192.4 MB
Memory cache size: 0.0 MB
Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 4
System DPI setting: 96 DPI
Desktop composition enabled: Yes
Displays: 1) 1920x1200
Camera Raw version 7.3
Windows 8 (x64) Pro
Canon 7D firmware version is 2.0.3
Does anybody have any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks, Alex!

I'm having the same problem with my Canon 7D with LR 4.3 on MacOS 10.7 and 10.8. It worked fine with previous versions of Lightroom but it doesn't now. LR detects the camera but no images are transferred to the Mac. EOS Utility works fine.
I've been writing images to a "Camera" folder from EOS Utility and using auto import in LR as a work around but this causes delays in displaying the image in LR and confuses clients.

Airport Extreme doesn't recognize Canon MX860 wireless printer

Yesterday I purchased an Airport Extreme router to replace my outdated Linksys. The Apple Genius guys told me the router would NOT connect via ethernet to my very old HP LaserJet 4050N, which I could live with. However, I also have a fairly new Canon MX860 printer that is connected via USB to my MacBook Pro and also it was previously set up for wireless connectivity through my Linksys home network. Now I cannot get the Airport Extreme to recognize the printer, which is in a different room from the router and modem. Please help! I can't afford all new peripherals just because I upgraded my router.

The Apple Genius guys told me the router would NOT connect via ethernet to my very old HP LaserJet 4050N, which I could live with.
Not sure why they gave you that advice. Connecting a network-ready printer (wire or wireless or both) to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) should be no different than connecting it to any other manufacturer's router. In this case, the AEBSn would NOT be providing print server functionality and the printer would have this duty. This should hold true for both the HP and the new Canon printers.
Now I cannot get the Airport Extreme to recognize the printer, which is in a different room from the router and modem. Please help! I can't afford all new peripherals just because I upgraded my router.
How do you have the AEBSn configured with the other router? Regardless, what is the make & model of this other router?

Fcp x doesn't recognize sony fs100.

Hi I could use some help. I just purchased a sony nx fs100. I shot some video at hd 1080/30p fh and at hd 1080/60p fh. The problem is I can't get fcp to reconize the camera. I can see the camera is connected in finder. Is this the result of a setting on the camera?
Thanks,

If your camera records QuickTime movie files, you can use Import > Files.
Otherwise, try using Import From Camera (the little Camera Icon at the far left of the toolbar).
Go here if you want to determine whether your camera is supported by FCP X:

I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2. I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

Russ and Luis,
I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in. Still no luck. I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out.
Another piece of the puzzle is that footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3. Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX. The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
Any ideas? (screen shots below)
Thanks.
Peace, Huey
FYI Here is what Canon says
"There is another trick that works sometimes though. Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility. Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
I did do this but no results. Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX. I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that.

Unable to output from FCP to Canon XL1.

I have an eMac with Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD. I also have a Canon XL1 3 CCD camcorder.
I have no problem capturing footage from my camcorder to my eMac on FCP. I can also connect my Canon to my VCR and record off my camcorder to my TV, as well as play the tape on my camcorder to watch it on TV.
However, I cannot output from FCP to my camcorder. The 4 to 6 FireWire is attached to both the camera and the eMac and I checked the Log and Capture feature and FCP does recognize a camera or deck is attached. I've been trying to output it using manual record in which I press record on my camcorder and play the playhead on FCP. As I record, there is no picture on my viewfinder, nor any audio being recorded and when I play it back, I just get this blank blue screen, but the timecode is recorded.
Am I missing something here?

ensure the following are set
View>Video Playback>Firewire Apple 720x480 (NTSC or PAL - whatever is appropriate)
View>Audio Playback>Audio follows video
View>External Video>All Frames
If this isn't what you are set to do, you won't be sending video out to your recorder.

I have seen similar posts but don't know whether anyone has a solution.
Take a look here https://discussions.apple.com/message/17565242#17565242
If you are new to FCP X it may be that you are doing something wrong but unless you give precise details of every move we will have no idea what that may be.

10.9.2 doesn't recognize scanner in Canon MX725 after upgrade

10.9.2 doesn't recognize scanner in Canon MX725 (WLAN) after upgrade.
I've reseted the printing system. Printing works fine.
Any Suggestions?

So after installing the ICA driver, did you try removing the MX725 from Printers and Scanners and adding again?
And is the MX725 still failing to appear under the Shared entry of Image Capture?
If it is not showing in Image Capture then open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. The right pane will show information about the MX725. Please copy that information and paste back here for me to check.
You could also try installing the MX725 TWAIN scanner driver via link below. This download includes Canon's IJ Scan Utility, which will install in Applications > Canon Utilities.

Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

I just used the "Quick Menu" in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after wasting hours several days when the SSID and Network key/password were already activated and the Adobe software claimed no scanner was available. . These Adobe user manuals are next to useless. Now I'm still dealing with this problem: "Save As was unable to find tables in the document No file was created." (i.e., from the pdf file I created using NI). Well it's obvious there are tables in the pdf, but so far I haven't been able to get a result to determine the intrinsic accuracy of Adobe's pdf to Excel capability.

Hi Rikk,
Thanks for answering.
I downloaded and installed the DNG Converter 7.1, then opened Lr again, but it's still not opening the files. Am I doing something wrong?
Please advise.
Thank you,

FCPX importing canon t3i, FCPX doesn't recognize the structure?

I'm inserting my card from my new canon t3i, FCPX doesn't recognize the card?

I have an idea.
Create a folder on you desk top. Give it a name that ties it to images and video you shot using the t3i plus the date of the shoot. Connect your USB to your camera. Open Image capture. Turn t3i on. You should be able to transfer both images and video to the folder on your desktop via image capture. Check the folder to make sure your images and videos are there. Then turn off your camera. (If you get a camera image on your desktop, you do not need to use image capture.) Open F.C.P.X. Under file-Import-file, then under import files-look for your Desktop-then the folder with with stills & video-open folder-then highlight the video files, then import.
I've been doing this, using flash memory cards, in dual mode cameras. It has worked for me with out a problem.
Remember, this is just an idea.
Hope it works for you.

Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.
Can’t connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

IPhoto doesn't recognize my canon after update to Yosemite

iPhoto doesn't recognize my Canon any more after my update to Yosemite

Have you run Software Update since installing Snow Leopard?
If so and all available updates have been installed, try re-downloading the current iTunes version and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes first.
