[Walter Biscardi]

Without much information to go on with your system I would suggest:

Trash Prefs

Restart the System

Hi Walter thanks!!!

G5 dual 2.gig, OS X 10.42, 6 gig ram.

Using Sony Video Walkman(s) taried 2, tried camera also.

Trashed all preferences, restarted computer, changed firewire cables, still does not see any device. Tried no controllable devices – still no audio or video. Under firewire DV control it does control the device.

Appreciate the help.

I an completely dead because of this. I have a deadline and can not digitize at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

its a QT problem and is caused usually because you upgraded while your FW devices were connected to your Mac which is something you are not supposed to do. So..do this
