I'm going crazy. I can't get my MBP to detect my camera.
- Macbook Pro, early 2011 model, OS X Lion, latest update
- Panasonic PV-GS320, about four years old
- Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5, purchased yesterday
- 4 to 9 pin Firewire cable, purchased yesterday
In System Information under Firewire I'm getting the message "Unable to list FireWire devices." which probably explains something, to someone, although not to me. This is a brand new cable that I just bought.
In Premiere it just says "Capture Device Offline". There has been no sign that the computer even knows the camera is connected to it. I've rebooted, disconnected, reconnected, turned the camera on and off, let it sit overnight, etc. I'm not sure what else I can try other than to go get another cable to make sure that's not the source of the problem. I don't have any other device with a Firewire port so I can't test it that way.
iMovie also doesn't detect the camera.
Yes, the camera is in playback mode.
Any assistance would be MUCH appreciated.
