My iMac doesn't recognise my camera Sony DCR-PC330E

Hello,

PC user for years, I decided 3 weeks ago to buy an Imac 27" on AppleStore (Mac OS X 10.6.7)

I've got a camera Sony DCR-PC330E.

I've bought this cable in order to connect my cam on the FireWire port of the iMac.

When I connect the cam with it, nothing happens 😟 The presence of the cam is not detect, whereas ther is no problem on my PC.

Does my camera not compatible with Mac ?

Should I installed a specific driver ?

Thanks by advance for the attention you accord to this post.

PS: I sorry for my bad english.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Hi, I have been reading briefly the instruction manual for your camera online.

It would seem that for connection to an iMac you should use a USB cable and not Firewire. The USB cable was supplied with the camera.

I also get the impression that you should have with the camera a CD which has software that you need to install on your iMac.

May I suggest that you get hold of your camera's instruction manual and read the instructions, I think that you should be able to solve this yourself then!

Good luck
