My new imac w/ fw800 does not see my canon xl2

I'm trying to connect my Canon xl2 to my new imac utilizing fw800 port. I purchased an adaptor off of Apple's website they recommended and the camera does not show up. The camera is on and turned to VCR mode. Any Ideas.

Have you checked with Canon that your camera is compatible with Macs and has the latest driver?

  • New Airport Extreme (2014) does not see USB Drive

    Just fired up my new 2014 Airport Extreme and attached a Toshiba 3 TB USB Drive. My new (late 2013 iMac) does not see the new drive in Disk Utility.
    The Extreme works in all other ways; ie, as a router, as a wireless node.
    It came to me formated as a Windows drive, so I attached it directly to my MacBook Pro (which saw the drive) and reformated it as a Mac Drive (Journaled, GUILD). It showed up just fine on the MacBook Pro desktop.
    When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
    Help Please

    When I reattach it to the Airport Extreme, it still does NOT show up in Disk Utility on the iMac.
    That drive will not show up in Disk Utility on the Mac.....since the Toshiba hard drive becomes a network drive when it is attached the AirPort Extreme.
    Disk Utility will not display a network drive. It will only display drives that are connected directly to your iMac via USB, FireWire, etc.
    Check using AirPort Utility to see if the AirPort Exteme recognizes the drive.
    Open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the next window that appears
    The drive will appear here if it is recognized by the AirPort Extreme.
    In the example below, my WD Drive is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.

  • HT1481 bought new shuffle but mac does not see it why not?

    bought new shuffle but the mac does not see it in itunes please tell me why?

    My battery is not quite flush, but I use mine on soft surfaces (as I'm not supposed to), so I haven't noticed any rocking. Have you tried taking your battery out and trying to get a better fit?

  • How to import iDVD app from Time Capsule to my new iMac 21" that does not have iDVD?  I can find the iDVD app in the Time Capsule, then what?

    I have a new 21" iMac to replace a 6-year old iMac 24.  My Time Capsule has the iDVD app saved (?) and I can find it, but I can't figure out how to move it to my new iMac that does not have the app.  How to do this?

    You are probably better to install it from ilife disk.

  • HT1539 I have the new imac and it does not have a dvd drive. How can I download digital copy of a movie?

    Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?

    You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

  • Brand new iMac 24 inch does not start

    I went to best buy and bought the 24 inch 2.66 GHz iMac. We loved it when the apple guy gave us a demo. I brought the brand new iMac home and set it up. Pushed the power button - IMac does not power on. Tried diff options like changing plug socket, extension cord, removed and replaced power supply from back of iMac, but didnt work.
    After an hour, I took the thing back to Best buy and they replaced it with a new one. Now this new one started right away and we really love this computer. Browed until late night, put it on sleep before going to sleep. Woke up in the morning, checked email and did some more browsing before I put it back to sleep and went to take a shower. After I come back and try to turn it ON, it wont turn ON. No matter what I did except this time I did not remove the power supply from the back of the Mac.
    I called in for apple support as I was extremely concerned. The support guy asked me to hold the power button for 5 secs and try to power it back again. Nothing, didnt work. Next he asked me to remove all connections as well as the power supply from the back of the Mac and then turn it on. Lo and behold, came back up.
    I asked the support guy as to what the heck is the problem and if this type problem has been reported earlier - he said he cannot comment on that. I really like this computer, but I am concerned as to its reliability. Anyone had similar problems? What was the problem and what did you do?

    What the guy did was have you reset the SMC, the System Management Controller. It controls things like startups, shutdowns and sleeping.
    Is the iMac plugged directly into a three prong wall outlet or are you using an extension cord or a cheat adapter? If you are using an extension cord, then it needs to be a proper three pronged utility cord and not a simple cord with a cheat adapter.

  • How do I burn a DVD on my new iMac? It does not have iDVD

    I have a new iMac that I can't get to burn a DVD that can be read in our DVD player.  I have the videos in iMovie but the iMac doesn't have iDVD.

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to destribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That has worked for some, but is not guaranteed to work for all.
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with Lion. You have to buy iLife 11 from online Apple Store in order to get iDVD. You are strongly recommended to do so soon as it will not be available for much longer.

  • New iMac Intel - Hardware Does Not Meet the Minimum Requirements?

    When attempting to load Apeture I get a window pop up during the loading phase that states
    " Your computer hardware does not meet the minimum requirements for Apeture?"
    Any idea what this may be from. I have the new 17inch iMac with Intel processor and it worked before?
    Help woudl be greatly appreciated. This is my first Mac. I switched from a P.C. I have no idea how to even trouble shoot challenges as of yet.
    Thanks

    Hi, and welcome to the Mac.
    Aperture doesn't yet run on Intel hardware. A new version should be available in March, according to a blurb in the lower right corner of this page:

  • My new iMac (1 week) does not eject DVDs

    My 1 week old iMac does not eject the DVD (Apple Installation DVD). I tried everything I know but every time only the DVD disappear from the desktop and after some seconds the DVD appears again on the desktop and was not seen in the DVD slot.
    Does anybody knows how I can solve this problem without going to the repair service?
    Thank you. Friedrich Guenter

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
    /usr/bin/drutil eject.
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • ImovieHD 6.03  does not see popular Canon GL2  cam but earlier imovie does

    I have found that my Canon GL2 camcorder is not recognized and will not import into iMovie HD. I changed the setting to standard definition, 640 x 480, but it does not work. It works with earlier versions of iMovie. The Canon GL2 cam is a popular cam so I do not understand what is wrong. I have checked the pulldown menu by the camera on the control screen but the only cam it "sees" is the the isight so I can not switch it to the GL2. I have a lot of old movies I want to digitize and I would prefer to do it on my new mac rather than my old mac.

    There are a few Canon issues that have been addressed:

  • My iMac with Leopard does not see Vista PCs on the network

    My iMac with Leopard cannot see any of my Vista PCs on my network. I have an older G5 iMac (tiger) and the Leopard system see that one just fine. My older G5 sees my Leopard mac and all of the Vista computers. I just want the Leopard mac to see the Vista computers. Please help.

    I'm having the same problem. It was literally working one minute and not the next. I also had this issue with my MBP but it was never resolved. I can ping the vista machine but not connect to the folder structure. This is really annoying because my vista machine is acting as a server and I need to remote desktop from the iMac to the windows machine.
    Any ideas people?

  • IMac 27" FaceTime does not see the camera

    I have 2 27" IMacs (1 at home and 1 at my office).
    I have tried using FaceTime on both computers. However the FaceTime app  says  "no camera available. To use FaceTime Connect a camera."
    This occurs on both computers.
