Upon comparison with my cable it was found that my original cable pin is 5.5mm long (the protruding bit that inserted into the Canon HV30) while the Belkin cable which worked properly is 6.5mm - just long enough to make the connection - hard to believe that 1mm made the difference and resolved my frustration. The Belkin cable that the technician used worked perfectly first time.
Mac using firewire for movie capture software#
I have searched the internet for possible causes and I have read about heaps of possible issues including hardware, software etc until Apple offered me a 'Genius' session (half an hour with their technician) in my hometown Melbourne, Australia. More recently I upgraded to the high definition video Canon HV30 and used the same cable but have not been able to download any video with that configuration. Prior to owning an HV30 I used a Sony standard Handycam video which I successfully connected to an iMac and downloaded video with the designated 4 pin to 6 pin Firewire cable. This sort of **** shouldn't be happening. So with all that in mind, where do we go from here? It seems like I'll either need to wait for Apple to recognise the problem or buy a new camcorder. The most telling test was that I connected my GS300 to a Mac running on Tiger - and this worked fine! All I did was plug it in and turned it on and I could control the camera no problem. Turned off, reset and changed the GS300 settings while connected and while not connected etc etc, but nothing shows up.
Isolated the firewire cable and that's ok. (The Apple Service Centre also confirmed this themselves). So the Firewire connection on the Mac is fine. Same problem that trevorh is having.Ĭonnected another firewire device to my Mac 10.5.2 - connected fine. I have exactly the same issue, but I've done some tests and it really does sound like something is wrong with Leopard.Ĭonnected by Firewire my GS300 to my Mac 10.5.2 - does not recognise anything connected at all.
Same issue - Unable to list Firewire devices
