Deck recognition
I am using a panasonic pvgs31 cam as a deck. For some reason, my laptop (running the same version of the OS and fcp studio) recognizes the device, but my G5 tower does not.
I’ve tried rebooting both the deck and the computer, but still no recognition.
Actually, the FCP interface will control the deck, but when I try to capture I get an error message that there is no device.Kinda strange.
Thanks for any advice!

The workaround is to download Quicktime *manually*, after removing the “receipts” which indicate that it is loaded. Specifically, I was told to do the following:
1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where “*” is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
3. Go to https://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the “download Quicktime” link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCP and see your camera.
