My Mac doesn't recognize my Canon MVX330i

Hi,
I have just joined the ranks of mac users, days rather than weeks, so my question may sound silly. I am trying to import video from my canon mvx330i(tape not card) but my mac doesn't recognize the camera, let alone import it. According to the tutorial, I should just connect to the usb port and away I go, but alas no joy. Am I missing something??

Hi -
Tape based cameras such as yours require a firewire connection, not a USB connection. The USB out on the camera is used to transfer any digital stills you have taken on the storage card. The video, because of the way DV works, must be sent to the computer via firewire.
If you have a recent Mac, you will probably need to get a firewire cable that plugs from your firewire 800 port on your computer to your camera's firewire port (on Canon cameras I believe the port is labeled "DV").
These cables are available at camera/electronic/computer stores and on the internet.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, you have saved me a whole lot of heartache and educated me further on my mac path.

  • Mac doesn't recognize shuffle and opening iTunes with Shuffle crashes Mac

    I recently updated to iTunes 7. Now my Mac doesn't recognize my year old shuffle when I plug it in, and when I open iTunes it freezes the Mac.

    I have been monitoring this forum on and off for weeks looking for a solution for my shuffle disfunction and this appears to be it.
    My shuffle would play songs and recharge on my iMac but would not be recognized by iMac by any of the expected means. This problem started after updating to iTunes 7. Tried uninstalling 7, and any of the other suggestions here that could work with out communication between iMac and shuffle, since the shuffle would not link to the computer.
    I had resigned myself to a shuffle that played only the songs currently loaded until it finally died. But, using the 06-06-28 updater worked for me as well, although it was a bit of a quirky process. Once launched, the updater immediately recognized my shuffle (first sign of life in weeks). When I chose the update button, it ran through an update but said there was an error after finishing and that I should disconnect, re-connect, and try again.
    Just disconnecting the shuffle mad the updater crash. I had to restart my mac, but when restarted my shuffle launched itunes and there it was. It appears to be fully functional again and I jut cancel when it says there is an update available for my iPod.
    Thanks djSTP!

  • Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

    I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
    Terribly disappointed!

    Amazon's plug-in only works with InDesign CS6 NOT with InDesign CC.
    I am attaching the Kindle Plugin also.

    I have a MacBook Pro 2007 and I installed Mac OS 10.6 but I lost power in the process and now the mac doesn't recognize my hard drive, how can I fix this

    I've tried it but since I'm using a USB disk drive it keeps freezing up or showing you a folder blinking folder with a question mark. (?). When I start the mac up I hold the control button until the Mac OS install disk shows up. My hard drive doesn't show up anymore. Is there any other button I have to hold down to bring a different menu up. I have also tried to boot up holding control and C and nothing happens.  Thanks for the help so far

    Have you run Software Update since installing Snow Leopard?
    If so and all available updates have been installed, try re-downloading the current iTunes version and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes first.

  • My computer using Windows 8 doesn't recognize my Canon Rebel. How do I fix this?

    My computer using Windows 8 doesn't recognize my Canon Rebel. How do I fix this?

    Hi MWCRILLY,
    To connect your camera to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer or Windows 8 computer, you'll need to change your camera's "Communication" mode.
    To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
    With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on.  Press the "Menu" button.  Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab.  Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
    Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set".  This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT instruction manual.
    Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on.  Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
    Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
    You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery.  If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com.

    Hi Pace,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Does your iPod show up on the desktop. You may want to look at...
    "The Five Rs"
    Knowledge Base Document #60950 on iPod missing in iTunes and Mac desktop
    Knowledge Base Document #93718 about iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes
    iPod FAQ says,
    "Question: I have both a Mac and a PC. Will my iPod work on both?
    Answer: No, not at the same time. iPod is configured for either Mac or PC. You can use the iPod Updater to restore iPod to work with a Mac or a PC (depending on which version of the updater you use). See "Restoring iPod to factory settings" for more information. Note: Using the iPod for Mac on a PC, or using the iPod for Windows on a Mac, is not supported by Apple. FAT32 is the format used by Windows, and while some FAT32 iPod models may work with your Mac, Apple only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac.
    Question: Can I use an iPod formatted for Mac on a PC, or an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac?
    Answer: It is not possible to use an iPod formatted for Mac with Windows. This is because Windows does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive.
    You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac.
    Note: Using the iPod for Mac on a PC, or using the iPod for Windows on a Mac, is not supported by Apple."

  • Mac doesn't recognize external HD anymore. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Everyone. Suddenly, my MAC mini doesn't recognize my external hard drive any more. It was fine for years and today it's not "there".
    I tried connecting with different fire wire cables and still, same problem.
    I also tried connecting the external HD to my iMac and still, doesn't recognize it.
    I tried restarting many times, still, same problem.
    I tried disconnecting all cables and power cords, reconnecting them and powering on, and that didn't resolve it.
    I have been searching the web all morning for ideas and can't seem to find a solution.
    The external HD is a Maxtor III 300 GB. Older one but was big enough for my needs.
    I was reading that sometimes doing a software update might cause an issue with external HDs. I just don't know how to resolve that if it is.
    This hard drive is formatted for the Mac.
    According to Maxtor I do not need to update my drivers. I was thinking that maybe one got lost.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Christine

    If only the mini couldn't read it, that would lead down one path. However, if both the mini and the iMac can't read it, that sort of points to an issue with the drive. Do you hear the drive power up? If you have an external power supply have you tried that or do you use that with it?
    It's possible that the hard drive is in fine condition, and it's the case electronics that are acting up. You should be able to pull the hard drive out of the Maxtor case and put it into another external case, to read the hard drive, assuming the drive itself is OK.

  • Help!!! Mac doesn't recognize PC files

    I was working on a PC and saved some files onto a mobile harddrive. While still working on the PC, I created some new folders on the mobile drive and organized the files a little bit. Then I unplugged the mobile drive safely and connected it to my mac. The mac couldn't recognize the mobile drive any more and asked me whether I want to initialize the mobile drive.
    I have a ibook G4 and the mobile drive had been worked fine on it before what happened today. I am very very very worried and don't know what to do. (I have important mac-only files on the mobile drive. I don't want anything bad happened to it!!!)
    Please help and let me what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks....

    "I have important mac-only files on the mobile drive. I don't want anything bad happened to it)"
    Then copy them over to the PC for safekeeping, attach the drive to your Mac, and initialize it, as MS-DOS (FAT) so it can be read by both Mac and PC.
    Attach it to the PC, and copy the files back on.
