I bought the Macbook Pro for the firewire port so I could download video from my Sony MiniDV camcorder (DCR-HC52) and purchased the updated 4-9 pin firewire cable. My Mac nonetheless doesn’t understand that I ever plugged anything in. I am getting so frustrated! I have heard that Sony Camcorders just won’t work with Macs but I was hoping an individual out there had a remedy. PLEASE Assist!

Extra Details
I am employing iMovie – When I go to Import, it only enables me into the constructed in webcam to capture video. I try to import through Finder and it does not even display the firewire port as having the camera on it, it is like I never plugged it in.
Yes, the camcorder is in “Play/Edit” mode. Tried in just in the mode and also whilst in playback.
Is the Firewire port active on the Mac? Yes, the port is active (by means of “about this mac/far more info”), but when in Program preferences it says “No network capable FireWire devices are linked.”
I checked the post, but it appears like it assumes you are in a position to import, but not edit, am I reading the write-up incorrect?
Would you consider my firewire cable is bad or perhaps the port? How can I go about testing this out with out acquiring one more $ 30 cable?
Paul, it makes use of a miniDV tape, not an SD card, and I have card readers that operate just fine, just getting difficulties with my Sony Camcorder………
Will I have to get a new camcorder since of this issue? How do I get all of my old footage off the tapes?

Sony does not list any drivers for the Mac for your camera.
Answer by Paul
Instead of purchasing one more cable could you get a SD card reader which functions with Macs!
