FCP 3.04 Not Finding External Device? Help
I am trying to connect my Canon GL1 to a Powerbook G3 400 with 2 firewire ports running FCP 3.04.
FCP keeps telling me that there is no device found?
I tried changing to different settings but nothing works.
The weirdest thing is that iMovie see and controls and captures just fine.
I am working on big project. Normaly iMovie would be fine, but we have 20 some DV tapes to capture and I want the ability to catogorize and label these files.
Please help.

Cheers

You may be suffering from the dread 'Canon firewire confusion'.
Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
Before we go any farther
-you should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
-Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method. Do a quick search here on the site - it is mentioned daily if not hourly.
With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct ... the most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. If you are working with HDV, you may have other issues ...
Beyond that, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCI), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 43) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
- shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
- connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
- start the camera then the computer
- capture to your internal (system) hard drive
- shut down the camera and computer
- disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
- start hard drive(s) and computer
- move captured files to external hard drive(s)
- edit
If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
- copy the file back to the internal drive
- shut everything down
- disconnect the external drive(s)
- connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
- start the camera then the computer
- play the file.
One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
Good luck.

Hello buy a movie on apple tv, and now can not find the device tells me I should go to settings / downloads / check downloads, but that does not exist in the menu of the apple tv, please help
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -

PS. The OS I am not sure do not remember exactly.- Reboot the computer
- Try another USB port
- Try another cable try another cable
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

VISA do not find RAW device in linux??
Hy. I have usb device with product ID and vendor ID. My operational system is Linux Fedora. Linux system find my device,but Labview (VISA) do not find this device.Can somebody tell my, where is the problem??
Hello qwqwqw,
Dennis is correct, and that is the document you want to reference. Specifically, Part 4 is about USB on Linux and Mac. Officially though, National Instruments does not offer email or phone support for Linux Fedora.
Good luck with your application!

Finder does not display external devices
Today when I woke up, and turned on my macbook, and connected my time machine and 'general use' disk, they didn't appear on the desktop. Not in the finder under devices either. According to terminal they're both mounted. Other programs can access files on the disks. Time machine cannot seem to backup however, and spotlight indexing also seems to fail on the other disk.
I can still access files on them through spotlight (although I didn't remember the name of any file on the time machine disk, so no good there), and thus eject one of them by dragging the window icon into the trash can.
The time machine disk is USB, and the other one Firewire. I have never had this problem before, and Leopard has worked just fine two days before this.Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.) -
Problem Finding External Device In Final Cut Pro 3 & OS 10.4
I upgraded our system from os 10.3 to 10.4. Now when we open Final Cut Pro 3 it can not find the external device. Anyone have any idea why and what we can do to rectify the problem? When I switch back to os 10.3 (Which I still had on a second internal hard drive) FCP3 has no problem finding the external device/camera.
The only other suggestion I have would be the Guiness Solution. (though if 10.3 can locate the external, this may/may not help). Essentially this procedure allows the FW port to 'reset'. It is very simple and painless as well.
Short version...
Shut everything down
Unplug everything
Go have a nap, Guiness, Harpoon, Cafe Colåda, Hot Chocolate, talk a walk...anything to occupy 15 minutes or so.
Come back and plug everything in
Turn on deck/camera first
Make sure System Profiler recognizes FW device (deck/camera)
Start FCP....Does it work now?
If you haven't already, you might trash prefs
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
and run Repair Disk, using Disk Utility.
I still wouldn't discount the QT possibility. Even though it worked before your upgrade to Tiger, the upgrade to Tiger, may have triggered something that is causing the issue.
