Firewire deck not being recognized in FCP 5 - Tiger

Dual 2Ghz just upgraded to Tiger and FCP 5
Have QT 7.03 Pro trashed the reciepts for the QT
and my Panasonic AJ-D230H is not being recognized on launch. It was fine before the upgrade. Anyone out there
have a clue on where I should be looking. Thanks

Your post was not clear so don't be offended (ok, you can be offended ...)
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.

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.
Thanks

Hey 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 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:

TS3850 I am using a Sony HBR -VLU camera to import into Final Cut 10. Plugging into an I MAc that doesn't have a firewire port. The camera is not being recognized by the computer. The camera is set to play tape too. Why is camera not recognized?

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.

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 Appreciated

Is 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.

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.

Acomdata 500gb External FW Drive NOT BEING RECOGNIZED!!!

I have been running an Acomdata 500gb FW External Hard Drive for my data intensive applications such as FCP and it has been working flawlessly for about the last year...
Yesterday I powered up the Mac and turned on the drive along with my external USB drive and the Acomdata drive turns on, lights up, and makes noise like it's working, but it is not being recognized at all by the Mac. I tried unplugging it, switching out the FW cord, changing the FW slot it was being plugged into, and everything else of that nature that I could think of. Of course the USB drive that has non-important work related stuff works just fine :/
So I'm wondering, does anyone think the drive has officially crapped out? It turns on and works so I can't tell. I'm PRAYING this is not the case, but I didn't know if there were any possible FW configuration settings that could have been changed or something like that. Any ideas?

Did you recently update to 10.4.10? Is there another computer that you can plug the external into to see if it's recognized? Have you tried plugging another FW peripheral into your main computer to see if it recognizes it?
Some people have had good results from the following:
1. Downloading and installing the combo updater of the system software update they've just applied via "Software Update...". In your case the update you need is at:
10.4.10 combo updater
2. Another trick is to restart each by zapping the parameter RAM:
Zapping the P-RAM:
After the startup tone, hold down <commandd><option><r> until 3 additional startup tones are heard, then release the 4 keys.
3. A 3rd tip would be to do Open Firmware resets on each:
After the startup tone, hold down <command><option><o><f> until the text screen is visible. When text can be entered, type the following commands, followed by the <return> key (there are no space characters in each command):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all (the Mac will boot up after this command is entered).
Also, see if anything in this Apple KB article helps:

My media is not being recognized by Final Cut! HELP PLEASE!

My media is not being recognized by Final Cut it was there yesterday and today it is not recognized by FCPX
it looks like this now>>> but it is I cans see it in Finder and Quicktime? HELP PLEASE!

That's a compound clip. Not sure what you've done, but that's not a clip icon. Where did this media come from? How did it get into your computer? Is it really HDV? Was it captured using FCP?

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...

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:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

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.
