FCX won't recognize attached Canon GL2 while FW800 HDD is connected

Heres the problem. I have a Lacie external HDD attached to my PowerBook G4 via Firewire 800 when I connect my Canon GL2 to the Firewire 400 port either on the Lacie HDD or PowerBook and start FCX FCX will not recognize the Canon GL2 as being attached.
I want to be able to capture video to the external HDD instead of my internal HDD due to space issues.
Also when I disconnect the etxernal HDD FCX recognizes the Canon GL2 immediately.
Why doesn't FCX see the Canon GL2 when the external HDD is connected?
I am running 10.4.9 with FCX 3.0.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

LaCie does not support the use of their drives with Canon cameras as long as they are both on the same bus because of the FireWire protocol used by that manufacturer. Macs only have one FireWire bus, though they may have multiple ports. Using your PowerBook you can add a second FireWire bus putting on into to your cardbus slot. This will give you two separate buses and the computer will be able to address the devices separately.

Imovie HD with Leopard won't recognize my Canon ZR40

I have been making movies with imovie HD with Tiger for a long time. I have just now installed Leopard and 10.5.1. Tried to start a new imovie project and imovie won't recognize my canon zr40 which has been working with imovie fine until Leopard was installed. It says no camera attached when I hook it up and try to import. Any ideas? I know it's a Leopard problem since that;s the only thing that has changed in the last couple of years. Hope Apple fixes this because I'm dead in the water here.

Figured it out. From this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61603
I had an external HD attached by firewire on back of Mac and camera attached on front of mac and I guess this bus conflicts. Unplugged HD and camera recognition worked. I had this before a long time ago with an isight camera but not since then. Weird.

If you are new to FCP X it may be that you are doing something wrong but unless you give precise details of every move we will have no idea what that may be.

I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.

I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.
Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
It sounds like you were using that previously.
And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

I have Lightroom 4.3 and a Mark iii and cannot import raw files into Lightroom.
The above contradicts with this:
Bomal9 wrote:
I am downloading images through the Canon EOS Utility manager and have to import the photos in a folder into Lightroom.
So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?

IMAC doesn't recognize my Canon GL2 camcorder any longer ?

I am using a 24 inch Imac with a processor 2.16GHZ intel core 2 Duo running Tiger 10.4.10.
I am using Final Cut Pro version 5.1.4
Up to the present time I've been able to use my Canon GL2 Camcorder for downloading. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my Imac doesn't boot up properly when I have the Canon turned on. My 3 external drives don't show up on my desk top unless I turn off the Canon camcorder. Obviously, when I launch Final Cut Pro and attempt to log and capture, the viewer comes up with the message, "No Communication" Interestingly enough, when I connect my Panasonic DVX 100B camcorder to my Imac,it works perfectly for downloading. In addition, I have the exact same Imac in a 20 inch screen running the exact same operating system and exact same version of FCP. My Canon GL2 works perfect on this Imac. Can anyone help me solve this problem. I would be forever grateful.
Henri

Did you have other devices connected to your old iMac while capturing? If not that's why it was working.
One of my cameras is a Canon and besides MacPro and MBP I have also an old iMac. It never worked with external drives connected for the very reason I explained in the link I sent to you.
Canon FW cameras are just likely to mess up with other FW connections on the same FW bus.
Best,

Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP800 Scanner

My MP800 is able to print from my new iMac but it is not even recognized for scanning. Is this something that will be corrected soon? It's a bummer to have this perfectly good all-in-one printer/scanner from Canon and now it won't scan. Anyone have any suggestions? I already downloaded all the Canon drivers that are available for Mountain Lion. Still nothing.
I also tried using Preview ... same story.
Another writer had this concern with his Canon MP600.

Assuming you downloaded and installed these from the Canon website:

Then I would recommend you perform the following:
Your Model apparently needs to use Apple's "Print & Scan" which is found in Applications>System Preferences>"Print & Scan". There you will follow the following instructions from the HP Support site to Scan, for instance:
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan (# ).
Click your printer in the left pane.
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.Figure 4: Example of the Show Details scanning screen#
Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .NOTE: Make sure to select either the Flatbed mode or the Document Feedermode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
Hope this helps

Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP600 Scanner

I'm not sure when it happened as I don't use my scanner all that much but at some point in the last month or so Image Capture can'is no longer able to see my scanner. It's a multi function Canon MP600 printer/scanner. I can still print but no go on scanning. I checked out the Canon site for drivers/updates but there are none. System Report sees the MP600 and like I said, I can print just not scan. I'm running 10.8.2.
Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.
Joe

This might have been my fix, too. I did as this instructed; however, after installing v.2.11 from Apple's site and deleting the printer, then adding it back again (I also unplugged and replugged the printer), nothing changed.
I then did as "noseyp" below suggested and at the Canon site added the scanner driver for Mac OS 10.7. That process (after I bypassed my security roadblock), required a computer restart.
So was is it v.2.11 installation (plus the restart) that made the difference? Or was it the 10.7 scanner driver? I won't know.
I'd suggest to anyone to do as "legendarybc" suggested, but then do restart your computer. If that doesn't work, then add the 10.7 scanner driver from:

IMovie won't recognize my Canon Elura 85, can't import video.

Hi there, I'm trying import video from my Canon Elura 85 into iMovie. It only has a USB port and a "DV" port (I have no idea what this DV port is, I'm using the provided USB cable). iMovie says there's no camera attached. I tried using image capture, it couldn't find it either. Everyone else who has an Elura 85, doesn't seem to have problems importing, just seperating takes. I can't even import. Can anyone help me? Many thanks. -A

Yeah, figured out that that DV out was the firewire cable out. Feeling real slick right about now.

According to the Canon website, the Yosemite driver for your printer is included with the OS.
According to Apple's documentation, Canon stopped providing support for this printer (and many others) and for any drivers users should get in touch with manufacturer:

Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does. I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

OS X 10.6.4 won't recognize Canon Powershot sd1000

I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on a Macbook pro, and it won't recognize my Canon powerbook sd1000 digital camera. I've updated the software, to no avail. Other cameras work too. I understand that I can move the card to a reader or another scanner; any tips on how to solve this problem directly?

I had the same problem at first. There is a switch on the back right side of the camera that selects camera, video, or playback. Switching it to playback caused it to be recognized by OSX.

Please Help!!! FCE won't recognize HV-20

Hello, I tried to capture some video and FCE won't recognize the canon hv-20. I tried to go from the hdv/dv output on the camorder to the firewire port on the computer and also from the usb to usb and nothing. On the easy setup I have dv-ntsc selected. I have a macbook osx 10.4 so it should work. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Look in the Easy Setup for "HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec".
There may be several, so if you don't know which to use, try them all until you find one that works.
It's only going to take a minute or so to find which one recognises your camera.

Itunes won't recognize iPod after installing MediaMonkey..

Hi,
I recently switched from Itunes to MediaMonkey, and I'm very happy. But my girlfriend still uses iTunes. And now her iTunes won't recognize neither her or my iPod when I connect either of them. Windows and MediaMonkey recognizes them perfectly. iTunes just comes up with this error message:
"The software necessary to communicate with iPod isn't correctly installed. Install iTunes again before installing iPod-software."
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes a number of times. I even tried uninstalled MediaMonkey, but nothing works..
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M GOING INSANE HERE =(

Have you tried working through the steps in this article, in the order listed?
