FCP 5.04 still can't see my External Devices

Hey guys, I'm about at wits end here. FCP just won't see any camera or deck that I hook up to the computer, nor will it show an image to my external monitor. Everything was working fine, the computer froze up two days ago, and then things went a bit askew. First, none of my external drives appeared. But after letting the computer stay off for a while, they popped up.
I've:
Made sure all frames was selected (did no good because NTSC firewire is still listed as missing)
Made sure capture window was closed
Made sure viewer settings were proper
Trashed the FCP settings
Trashed the quicktime receipts
Reloaded Quicktime
Repaired the disk permissions
Still nothing. I'm using 5.04 with 10.3.9 and QT 7.04
Other than upgrading to 10.4.x, I'm stumped. But, like I said, other than the comp freezing up, nothing has changed on my computer.
Thanks in advance. . .

Sometimes you need to do the reinstall more than once to have it take. Make sure you do the trashing of the receipts. If it doesn't take, we can trouble shoot it further.
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
Good luck.

btw - what camera are you using? A canon?

  • ITunes can't "see" my external devices any more.  What should I do?

    My external devices used to sync just fine.  Suddenly, iTunes doesn't even know they exist.  How do I get them to reconnect again?  I can't sync anything as things stand right now and it's very frustrating.

  • How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • The caption on an annotation is off the plot area. Even if I cahnge the x and y scaling I still can't see the annotation caption. How can I change it so that I can see it?

    Try calling SetCoordinates on the annotation's Caption property. This method lets you explicitly set the x and y coordinates of the caption.

  • HT204053 I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?

    I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?

    Lion is required to see the iCloud Preference Pane: this is an upgrade, not an update, and has to be paid for. If you want to install Lion, go to the Mac App Store and purchase and download it there ($29.99).
    First check that your Mac meets the requirements for Lion:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

  • I can't see my iPhone on my Powerbook Pro, tried solution offered, still can't see it.

    I can't see my iPhone on my Powerbook Pro, tried restart solution offered twice, still can't see it. Any ideas?

    Is it a Powerbook or a Macbook Pro?
    A Powerbook is not capable of running a version of iTunes that will work with an iPhone 5 (which I'm assuming you have, since it's the only iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.4, which you indicate you have).

  • HT1478 Hi, I want to partition my Ipod Touch so that I can transfer music files to this partition for download to car. Attached Ipod to PC, but coudn't see in Disk Management. Then selected Manually manage Music and Video but still can't see??

    I want to transfer music from my Ipod Touch to my car. I found out that I had to partition the Ipod to do this. I attached it to my PC with the USB cable but couldn't see it in the Disk Manager window. Googled why not and saw that I had to select Manually Videos in the Summary section on Itunes. This was already ticked off (selected) and still can;t see the Ipod icon in Disk Manager. What else can I do to partition this Ipod?
    Thanks in anticipation ...

    iTunes Match on your computer can give you the same higher quality files. 
    Run iTunes on your computer.  Show your music library by Song in list view.  Add the columns for Bit Rate, Kind, and iCloud Status to the list view.
    Any song that is shown as Matched for iCloud Status, that is NOT already 256 kbps (or higher) for Bit Rate can be downloaded from iCloud at 256 kbps AAC.  For example, if you have an old album from a music CD that you ripped years ago at 128 kbps MP3, and it is "matched" by iTunes Match, you can replace the lower quality files you have now with 256 kbps Match AAC audio file (which is shown for Kind).
    To do so, select the song, or a set of songs, on the library list.  Press Delete.  Confirm you want to delete the song (but do NOT check the box to delete song from iCloud) and choose to move song file to the Trash.  The songs remain on your iTunes library list, with a "cloud" download button next to the song name. 
    Click that button to download the song from iCloud.  Because the song is Matched, you get the replacement as a 256 kbps AAC audio file, instead of the original 128 kbps MP3 file (or whatever lower quality format it was before).
    You can go through your iTunes music library, and replace lower quality Matched songs with higher quality versions, thanks to iTunes Match.

  • My second macbook can't see my external drive.

    I have the following setup:
    -a Macbook that is wirelessly connected to my home network
    -Macbook Pro that is wirelessly connected to my home network
    -a 500g HD connected directly to my Macbook Pro that I am using for Time Machine.
    Initially, I was having issues with my Macbook Pro successfully completing a backup. My Macbook (which is not physically connected to my external HD) had no problems backing up. After a great deal of frustration, I decided that there may be some problems with my HD so I reformated and repartitioned the drive to a single drive with journaling. Fortunately, now my Time Machine works with my Macbook Pro but I'm having major issues with my Macbook.
    For some reason, my Macbook can no longer see my Macbook Pro, nor my external hard drives I am using for Time Machine and a second external I was hoping to use to share my iPhoto library between the two computers.
    (I'm worried that I've done so much that I may have caused the problems but don't want to undo anything for fear that I'll once again mess things up with the Macbook Pro).
    For the Time Machine HD, I've selected SHARE. When I use Time Machine on the Macbook, the drive (which was at one time visible) is not there.
    For the new External that I was using for iPhoto, I've Shared, selected Ignore Ownership, and even added my wife's name with Read and Write privledges. But the macbook still can't see either drive.
    What is confusing me is that my Macbook can still SHARE the Macbook Pro's screen. Yet when I look at the drive it just says connection failed.
    I'm new to Macs so I'm not familiar with setting up. I've just tried to use what I would do with a PC.
    ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    Is there a "How to" somewhere?
    I'd recommend getting this book from David Pogue. He devotes pages and pages to this subject alone. Here is a Google excerpt. Enjoy!

    how can i see the "manage devices" in my itunes account? because i want to remove a device from using my apple id. tnx so much

    Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
    Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again?  Is there some way around this?  I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
    Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand.  It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
    Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
    Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet?  Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

  • I can't see my external hard drive on the network.

    I can't see my external hard drive on the network. I have a WRT160NL router with USB. I plugged the drive in the USB and set up a share in the router config.

    Did you map the drive? It won't show up in Explorer automatically like a jump drive or an external drive plugged directly into the PC will.
    You didn't mention the OS you're running, but what you want to do is choose "Map a network drive" and you'll see the router listed as a network device. Click on it and you should see the external drive listed. You can map it from there. 

  • WRT600N and Network Places can't see other N device

    I just replaced my WRT350N with a WRT600N. After install, my wired desktop cannot "see" in Network Places my other Desktops Shared Drive which has a Linksys WUS300N. This Desktop (with WUS300N) is able to access the internet wirelessly and all settings in router are default. In addition, my wired desktop can "see" all other G devices in "Network Places", but just can't "see" the WUS300N device in Network Places. Once I put the WRT350N back, all devices can be seen in Network Places. Shut down WRT600N, restarted all units, shut off/on sharing, turned firewalls off...no change
    My wired desktop is Vista Premium 32 Bit
    My wireless desktop is XP Home Edition

    I replaced my WRT350N with the WRT600N too because of all the problems with the 350N and to have the dual band as most of my laptops have wireless N cards. I have not had any problems with this router other than only being able to access my USB Tera drive with my XP machines using ftp, if I try to search for it under network neighborhood as I do on my Visa machines and it only brings up default and it won't let my access my share that I created even with the user I created as an admin on the router to access the USB drive share, but since I can access it using ftp I am not concerned at all and otherwise this router is letting all my N wireless cards including the intel 4965N connect at 270Mbps all the time at the same time 3 other laptops that my kids use are connected too with wireless G cards, so I am a happy camper so far.

  • I can't see my removable device.

    I have xfce4 interface installed and pretty much everything.
    It runs smooth, and fine.
    But today when I try to use my USB stick to transfer some files, I can't see the removable device (USB Stick) in my file manager. ( Looked in cd home, and filesystem.)
    Can someone help me how to make my removable device to show up.
    I even used this command # udevadm monitor when my usb was plugged in and when I remove it, i get message in the terminal saying "remove blah blah blah".
    I believe my usb ports are working fine, but I dont know how to locate my usb stick folder.
    Help is appreciated. And please I try searching on google plus even forums, and can't understand or find the solution for it.

    p.s Thx for all your replies.
    And I do manually load my xfce interface.
    When I boot the computer it does not go straight to xfce interace.
    I have to manually load it by typing "startxfce4"
    And I dont know what you mean by manually mounting it.
