jonokti Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 try using a hub or daisy chain to a firewire HD, I've seen this happen even on the core2 iMacs once you use the hub or HD it will recognize the device.

misterpottsy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 try using a hub or daisy chain to a firewire HD, I've seen this happen even on the core2 iMacs once you use the hub or HD it will recognize the device. Hey I was having the same problem with it not recognizing my cannon gl2, but the firewire port was good because it recognized my Maxtor One touch HD. I just used the open firewire port on the maxtor and then my camera was recognized by final cut express 4. Thanks!
