Firewire 800 not being recognized?
I just got my new MacBook Pro a few weeks ago, and realized that the firewire 400 I have wouldn't work in it... so I got a new one, and was so excited to begin editing some movies - and now my camera won't properly connect. I have a Panasonic, if that matters at all.
I also tried going into iMovie with it to see if it would recognize it, and it doesn't. Every time I try to connect the built in iSight camera comes up instead. Does anyone have any ideas of what to do? I even tried changing up the type that it imports with, but it always says "Unable to initialize video deck. You can still use capture now." but again, it only uses the built in camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions of things to do to fix it...?
Thanks a lot! :]

Alternatively, you can use your old FW400 cable if you use a 800 -> 400 adapter
like one of these to connect your new Mac to your existing cables:

USB, Firewire ports not being recognized?
Recently, I've been having trouble using my USB and firewire ports. I have a 1TB WD external hard drive which has been working fine until about a month ago when it stopped being recognized when I connected it through Firewire. I thought maybe my firewire cable or port was bad so I tried hooking it up through the USB port and it still didn't recognize that it was connected. After playing with it for a while, I finally got it to back it up.
Tonight I connected a thumb drive and it is not being recognized either.
Both ports are being recognized it Disk Utility and in System Profiler, and the USB ports work when I use them to charge my phone and Ipod all the time.
Any suggestions?Well now I feel a little silly..
I have tried using it on another computer and it was recognized just fine.
However, I have not tried manually mounting my WD hard drive and when I went to try to that, it worked just fine right away, without doing anything.
I then tried the thumb drive again and when I tried to mount it, it came up with this error:
"The disk “UDISK” could not be mounted.
Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
So I ran First Aid and it came up with this error:
"Disk Utility stopped verifying “UDISK” because the following error was encountered:
Filesystem verify or repair failed."
The details say that the "File system is left marked as dirty."
So I guess there must be something wrong with the thumb drive, although it seemed to work fine on my PC. -
Firewire devices not being recognized by MBP
Hello
I just purchased a MacBook Pro which I have a 20" cinema display connected to. I have an external Firewire drive and an iFire plugged into the Firewire ports on the back of Cinema Display but they are not being recognized by my MBP. If I plug the external drive directly into the Firewire port on the MBP it is recognized but is not when connected to the Cinema Display. Anyone have any ideas? I just migrated from a G5 and these same devices were connected to the Cinema Display then.
ThanksHey dmar713,
The iPod touch requires USB 2.0, check the speed of the USB port.

If the USB port is not causing the issue, it may be an application conflict.

Firewire deck not being recognized in FCP 5 - Tiger

After you trash the quicktime receipts, you have to REINSTALL quicktime
The point of deleting the receipts is so that the quicktime reinstaller will be fooled into doing a complete install. Trashing receipts by itself does nothing to alter the current quicktime installation.

I am trying to import from the camera into an I-MAC. I'm told the I-mac does not have the firewire port, but has thunderbolt. Is the only way to get video from the camera via a firewire port? Is someone giving me bad information as to the firewire port not being on the I-MAC? The camera is not being recognized. Thanks in advance.
Apple has moved on from Firewire and the current iMacs (and most MBPs) have Thunderbolt, USB3 and USB2.
There are Firewire toThunderbolt adaptors. Here's one. You also want a four pin to nine pin FW cable to run from your camera to the adaptor.

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs
Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future. -
SONY HDR-FX1 Not being recognized in Leopard
Hello, Im trying to connect my SONY HDR-FX1 and import video to Final Cut, but the camera is not being recognized, when I plug it in by firewire, the Camera displays the usual "DV-IN" but nothing happens on the Mac.
Im new to Macs so I have no idea of what to do
Help owuld be greatly AppreciatedIs your tape HDV or just DV? If the camera displays DV in, you have your camera set to play standard DV footage, or downconvert HDV footage. If that's what you want, then you'll need to use one of the DV Easy Setups in FCP.
The important thing to do first, though, is turn all your equipment off. Camera, computer, all.
Make sure the camera is connected to the computer via FireWire first, then turn it on and load your tape.
Now turn on the Mac, and launch FCP. Close any previous projects that may have opened.
Now choose the proper Easy Setup from the FCP menu. This will depend on whether you are NTSC or PAL, and if you have HDV or DV footage.
NOTE: If you have HDV footage, you'll need to make sure the camera is set to play out HDV, and choose an HDV 1080 setup.
Next, open a new untitled project, and open the log and capture window.
Now, your camera should be recognized, and you should be able to control it from the keyboard, and begin to capture. -
my 4 digit password is not being recognized on my phone AND i am unable to restore my iphone on my old PC, can an apple store restore my phone and unlock it?
Contact Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 to find out. But they will most likely tell you what you already know...it needs to be restored against the computer is was last linked with.

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now
i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?
I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix... -

TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.
My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
Any suggestions?Does the iPod work OK?
Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:

Windows Does Not Recognize iPod

The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.
I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!
- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible
