FCP X Not Recognizing HDD, Using SSD.

I have been using FCP X for a while now, but I have had some serious issues. I have an SSD and an HDD in my computer, but FCP X only recognizes my SSD to load projects and events. It is Mac OS Journaled (Extended) and all of that stuff. I have been resorting to dragging and dropping my projects and events into my HDD from my SSD. I thought I could deal with it like this, but space is being filled and efficiency in loading projects and events is becoming a hassle. I was wondering if I could get some help.

the typical cause for this is when the hard drive has, at the root level, a folder that FCP thinks is a camera...something like a file or folder named   no_name  or other name that represents a camera folder name. Look for that and if you find it, put it in another folder. That's just a guess.

  • 3rd gen iPod not recognized when using Firewire

    The 3rd gen iPod only charges via FireWire. Given the lousy battery life provided by the device, I need to be able to sync using the Firewire port of my Macbook (Home) or my Macbook Pro (work). The device is not recognized by iTunes (or in general, no notices are given that would indicate that the device is connected). I have:
    - Restored the device via USB
    - Restored it to be Apple format (it was previously Windows format)
    - Confirmed that it DOES work with USB - but that's not what I want
    - Tried this on 2 laptops
    - Confirmed that charging via Firewire DOES work - so I'm assuming that the cable works as well
    Is there a diagnostic application that will tell me the status of the on-board firewire port?

    I luckily still had a PC around. I was able to reset it on the PC, then reformat on the Mac.

  • Ipod not recognized when using an external hardrive, please help me!

    I have a 4 gig ipod mini, I have been using it for over a year with no problems. recently, my computer will not recognize my ipod when it is plugged in with my external hardrive. I have chosen to keep all of my music on a 100 gig external hardrive, because I have a lot of it. when I plug my ipod into my computer and run Itunes my computer will recognize my ipod, open itunes and then the program will freeze. i can also plug in my external hardrive and when i do my ipod is not recognized by the computer at all. I have tried, numerous scans of both hardrives, multiple updates, new USB cords, I have the most current version of itunes and yet I come to see no results, if you know anything please help me, I don't know what else to do.

  • FCP 5 not recognizing my xl2

    for the first time in my life, my fcp 5 is not recognizing my xl2 when I plug it in via firewire. When I plug it in the color wheel comes on and stays there until I unplug the camera. Any ideas as to what's going on? I need to start this project and this is beyond frustrating.

    don't have this camera, but since it's worked before then maybe there is a setting that's changed in the camera for the firewire output, or maybe it's simpler...the firewire itself, the port or even something trashing FCP preferences would fix
    Good luck

  • FCP X not recognizing external drive

    I have an external 2T G Drive that is formatted as FAT so I can exchange files with a partners PC.  It shows up in the finder but not in FCP X when I try to move a project or event.

    Sorry. It won;t work with FCP. The drive ahs to be formatted Mac OS Extended.

  • 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.

  • Toshiba 1TB External Hardrive not recognized after using a USB 8GB Drive

    Hello.
    Windows 7 Ultimate, HP G671 Notebook, X86 based PC, Bios HP F, 20 10/13/2009, Intel Core 2Duo CPU [email protected] GHz, SMbios Version 2.4.
    The Toshiba ext. HD was recognized initially but after the second time I needed to plug it back in there was no recognition in the drives list, under removable storage.  I find it listed in the devices where it states that it is enabled and working OK. Also I see it in the computer management/disk management area as healthy.  However, I obviouly cannot change files. I just noticed that there is no storage amount listed with the C:: Native Drive, nor in the D: disk drive when I have a DVD in it.  I've reassigned letters to the external drives and done the powereing on/off rebooting suggestions without resolution.  Any advice?

    Nobody?

  • Icc profiles not recognized when using photoshop with 10.6.5

    Ever since I upgraded to 10.6.5, Photoshop does not recognize the ICC profiles for different papers. The previous version of OS worked fine. How can I get 10.6.5 to recognize these profiles?

    Hi not done this before so hope it works, and I am updating from OSX 10.9.4   

  • FCP project not recognized

    I have older projects created in FCP 3 and need to open them in FCP 5. FCP 5 doesn't recognize the timeline as a FCP file. Computer is reading the files as "Unix Executable File" Can anyone help?

    Sounds like your files may have lost their essential 'fcp-ness'. Try this tip for a solution, but first look at Andy's response, he came up with an easier way of handling it. Only if his doesn't work, you might try mine...

  • FCP Studio not recognizing my new canon vixia HG21...Help!?

    Hey everyone, so I have no idea what's going wrong here, but supposedly you plug the HG21 in, via a USB, which aggravates me, and click on log and transfer and viola! You should see your footage which you can select to capture. But when I plug it in, I see the USB images for my canon on the desk top, but nothing in FCP. Should I have done something before? What am I missing? please help!

    First of all, you need an Intel mac to work with avchd natively.
    I found this thread doing a search here for 'G5 + avchd'...give it a look

  • New QT 7.1.2 installation not recognizing previously used DVDs

    I updated QT to 7.1.2 this afternoon. This evening, DVD Player will not play a DVD I was watching last night (I don't recall the previous version installed but it was 7.x.x. OS is 10.4.5). The DVD is video from an organization I belong to. I've also tried the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe DVD. With both, I get "Supported disk not available" from DVD Player.

    Problem has resolved itself. How? I haven't a clue!

  • Macbook not recognizing HDD

    I was typing and my macbook suddenly shut off and when I restarted there was a flashing folder with a question mark. I tried to restore the folder with the restore disk but my hard drive wasn't present in the disk utility. I even tried to choose re installation but again, no hard drive showing at all. Any tips on how I can fix this?

    do you here a weird clicking noise? wether you do or don't it could mean hard drive failure
    now if you do here a clicking noise it could mean mechanical failure and in that case you better have had your data backed up because there is a small chance at recovery then

  • IPhone not recognized in iTunes when using WiFi sync

    I have found that my iPhone is frequently not recognized when using WiFi sync.  The only way to sync my phone when that happens is to use the old fashioned way--connect it to my computer via USB.  Then the phone is recognized and syncs fine.  The device shows even when I take my iPhone off power.  But when I close iPhone and later reopen it and plug in my iPhone to power, often it is not recognized.  I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    talbryn

    I am having the same problem.  It was working just fine and then just mysteriously stopped showing up in iTunes (my iPad still shows up & syncs via wifi just fine--it is just my iPhone).  Someone please reply soon, this is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!!

    >>If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.<<
    I am having the same problems, but this is also affecting my onboard USB connections. I have disconnected the panel USB connections (they only had 8 wires anyway, so no need for the posted reply in that thread) from the mobo. I cannot even get the mobo to recognize a USB mouse plugged into a PS/2 adapter.
