FCP 3 Not Recognizing Firewire Device

After six years FCP doesn't see the clamshell deck it's always known. Or a camera. Thru three different ports. I've just downgraded from QT 7 back to QT 6.5.2. Any corollary? Or could the cable just have died? Seems unlikely, huh?

The link that Al posted is most likely the problem - FCP uses Quicktime to do its capturing, so no matter what rev of FCP you are running, if you have a dorked Quicktime install, you usually get the kind of errors you are experiencing.

    My I-pod shows up on my computer but is not recognized under devices in I-Tunes, any suggestions?

    Hey corky60,
    I'd go ahead and give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:
    1. Try the iPod troubleshooting assistant:
    2. Restart the iPod Service
    3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Change your iPod's drive letter
    7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
    8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
    9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
    10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
    You can read more about each step in detail in this article:

    Hi,
    It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
    From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )

  • Anyone having trouble with this phone and their in car bluetooth?  Calls dropping not recognizing the device.  Had the car bluetooth reset at dealer. They said it is a common problem with the iPhone?

    Bluetooth in car is not recognizing my device and when it does it will only stay connected about 5 minutes.   Blue tooth has been reset at the dealer. They said it is very common with the iPhone? The car is a 2014 Toyota Highlander.  This is very very frustrating as I have a 45 minute commute to work and do not want to have to hold my phone.... Thank you for any help.

    Wow you would think the newer car is just an updated version of what your husbands has.
    I wonder if your husbands car was updated to the same connect system if his would not connect?
    Does your husbands phone work because he does not have the new iOS from Apple?
    Can he hook to your connect system in the car?

  • USB is not recognizing the device and giving error 10

    My PC USB is not recognizing the device (iphone) and giving error 10.. The USb is malfunctioning but ipod is getting connected easliy

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Final Cut Not Recognizing Camera/Devices Connected Via FireWire

    I have a Macbook and a Macbook Pro and I'm having the exact same issue with both of them. I'm trying to capture DV footage into Final Cut Pro 5 via a Sony Digital Video Cassette Recorder GV-D1000 NTSC, I've also tried capturing into iMovie with the firewire device not being recognized there either.
    Device control is "FireWire NTSC Basic" and Capture/Input is "DV NTSC 48 khz" I've captured footage plenty of times and never had a problem until now. I've tried just about every audio/video setting there is including anamorphic as I saw suggested in a similar thread and nothing has changed. I've also tried different firewire cables, different devices including canon/sony and a panasonic cameras. When I connect a new device it shows "vtr ok" for a few seconds and then switches to "no communication". I've tried trashing my preferences and repairing permissions. I've updated quicktime/restarted the macs/unplugged the devices etc. I've also tried playing the tape on the sony box first and then opening FCP and attempting to capture, the footage stops playing and I get an error message that "video is not available". I'm capturing to a 500gb external harddrive that I've used before with no problems and is connected via usb. At one point it did allow me to start the capture now process, but it kept dropping a million frames and aborting, now it won't even let me get that far. I'm literally pulling my hair out, can some one PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME??!!?

    Exactly what version of QT are you running now?...and FCP5.?
    Have you tried the Guiness solution yet?..shut everything down and unplug, wait 15 minutes, plug all back in, then turn on camera/deck first.
    Confirm that System Profiler recognizes the camera/deck and the deck is set in VTR mode (not camera mode), then open FCP.
    Could be a bad FW port (have you tried other ports on the mac?)
    Or, could be QT incompatibility...

  • Mac Mini wont recognized Firewire device (Tascam FW-1802).

    Recently I reinstalled my Tascam FW-1802 drivers because I wanted to see if that would maybe help a Cubase speed problem I had. Yet, when I reinstalled the drivers the FW-1802 it is not recognized by my Mac Mini anymore. I've been using this board for about a year now with not problems. My system profiler says "Unknown Device" under my Firewire Bus. Even on my FW-1802 the firewire light is not lit up. I've tried installing multiple different drivers and maybe different techniques to get the firewire working but I cannot figure it out, any help would be great. Thanks!

    Read this for setting it up properly:
    http://www.larryjordan.biz/goodies/fcp5setupwithfw1082.pdf
    And it might help to know that the mixer needs its own firewire bus. You cannot use it if you are also using firewire drives running off the computer...as all macs have only one firewire bus. That one hit me pretty hard.
    But...I have been able to get it to work on the one bus by turning it on last. I mean turning on the drives, turning on the computer, launching FCP, THEN turning on the mixer. But that only works sometimes. You can also try to turn it on before you launch FCP and see if the firewire light comes on...again, after you power on the drives.
    I also, at times, have to start with it in MONO mode, then switch over to computer. Funky...and I am still working it out.

  • [solved] Digital Camera not recognized in device-manager

    My digital camera "Canon Powershot SX120 is" is not recognized by the devicemanager. I have read Digital Cameras.
    $ groups
    wheel storage users printadmin
    The "camera"-Group isn't needed anymore and this group doesn't exist on my system.
    The Powershot SX 120 has a  MTP/PTP connection mode (as the manual says). But:
    # mtp-detect
    Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
    Listing raw device(s)
    No raw devices found.
    gphoto succeed:
    $ gphoto2 --auto-detect
    Modell Port
    Canon PowerShot SX120 IS usb:002,019
    A gphoto --summary could be found here
    There is no udev-rule for this camera. If i create one while copying a rule from a similar camera from /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, and store it into /etc/udev/rules.d/69-canon.rules, the device-manager shows up. My udev-rule:
    # Canon PowerShot SX120AX (PTP/MTP mode)
    ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="31e0", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
    The device-manager shows me only the option to open with a file-manager. Doing so will result in an error:
    The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/ do not exist.
    With my udev-rule:
    solid-hardware listen
    Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
    Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)
    Listening to add/remove events:
    Device Added:
    udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
    Without the active udev-rule, "solid-hardware listen" produces nothing, but
    udevadm monitor
    monitor will print the received events for:
    UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
    KERNEL - the kernel uevent
    KERNEL[5077.662572] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8 (usb)
    KERNEL[5077.662655] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0 (usb)
    UDEV [5077.681178] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8 (usb)
    UDEV [5077.693035] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0 (usb)
    Don't know what to do ... is a udev-rule necessary to bring up the message from device-manger? Or is the Camera not recognized as a mtp-device (the Camera has no such settings)? How could i figure it out?
    With Digikam i could import Fotos, but i would do so with gwenview. I've tried to check it out with gwenview_importer:
    $ gwenview_importer --udi '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
    QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
    gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
      (don't care about the different udi, i took this example from a former try) but i don't know, how to find out where the "source folder" is ...

    I have solved this by making an extra udev-rule for my camera. See my adventure on forum.kde.org for details
