CrackPot Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Running Hackintosh (Kalyway 10.5.2). Firewire (almost new) cable connected to a Sony DCR-PC350E Camera. IEEE 1394a (Firewire 400) Turning the camera on to Edit Mode OS-X sees the Firewire Connection and Identifies the Camera correctly. In the Sytem Information the camera still shows up under the firewire details correctly. Running iMovie or Final Cut Express I get "No Camera Connected" warning. Tried turning on camera first then iMovie and visa versa, still nothing. Camera & Cable work fine in WinXP with MovieMaker and Adobe Premiere. Anyone have any ideas? Configuration: Gigabyte EX38T-DQ6 Intel Quad Q6600 2.4Gb Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Gigabyte 8800GT 512MB Corsair DDR3-1333 2GB ViewSonic VX2245wm 22 Inch Wide Screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackPot Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 The camera itself sits on a Dock. The firewire and USB cable go from Dock to Computer. The USB part works fine, iPhoto can see the camera fine and grab images from the Memory Card. Just a matter of WHY the Firewire Part does not work is a mystery.

CrackPot Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Problem solved. Computer completely off. Turn on camera to VCR or Edit Mode Then Start Computer booting into OS-X Then once booted up run iMovie or Video Editing program and it sees the camera. Turning on the camera after OS-X is booted up just was not working. I have no idea why not as Windows the camera can be turned on or plugged unplugged any time and it works fine. I just hope this helps someone else at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
