firewire

Good afternoon Keith,

Thank you for your reaction.

For some years I have been editing video tapes (DV) on my 2011 iMac.

I connect my Canon XM2 camcorder to my iMac with a firewire cable.

A few days ago my Adobe Premiere Elements (11) program stopped recognising the camcorder.

As i checked the network I found that though there was a cable connected on both sides, Adobe premiere did not "see" the camcorder. Changing cables and programs did not solve the problem.

The status (hereunder) is in Dutch and means : No connection. There are no firewire apparatus connected.

That is the reason why I asked Apple to tell me how to configure firewire as one can confirm Ethernet.

I thought I could solve the problem in this way.

Thanks in advance for helping me.

Unfortunately following your advice was not the solution. Thanks anyway.

In the meantime I found out that there have been installed on my iMac two thunderbolt connections(version 1 and 2 ) and that Apple can provide an conversion cable from firewire to thunderbolt.

Tomorrow I will ask Apple.

If this solution is successful I will let you know

I bought a conversion cable firewire to thunderbridge but it did not solve the problem.

I think you are right and the camera is to blame.

Thanks again
