FCPX wont recognize Canon xh a1.. nor will imovie or iphoto

So heres the deal, for the longest time my dad had this guy doing camera and videowork for him, the guy was really serious, a professional.  One day he went awol, sold one of our cameras to a pawnshop and went off the grid.  He left us with a video camera, a bunch of equiptment and a 32" imac.  Just now I'm becoming interested in the filming/editing deal, and so I ordered a cable RIGHT OFF THE APPLE WEBSITE and nothing will read my camera.  Nothing even recognizes it.  I've had some friends try multiple different computers with multiple different programs and multiple different cables and nothing will even recognize my camera.
