I recently acquired an iMac which has one single firewire port, an 800. One of these "new" kinda square plugs. For some reason I can't get the Sony Z5 to talk to it.
I read something about this around here concerning a Canon camera, but it was a 2005 post and I'm not sure if it was the same plug they were talking about.
When I connect the Z5 to the firewire port it doesn't know whether it should be in input or output mode. It flashes from one to another non stop.
I've tried plugin it in in all the possible ways: stopped, in play, with FCP on and off, etc.
The same always happens.
Does anyone have this problem?
The camera works fine connected to a firewire 400 4 pin port on the PC so I know the iLink works, but on the mac the 800 is the only fw plug.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
