View Full Version : P2 issues on Mac Pro...

I've been all over this forum and can't seem to find an answer to the issue I'm experiencing...

The Issue: I'm using the HVX200 with two 16GB P2 cards and when connecting to my Mac Pro 3.0GHZ Quad it only finds one card.

A Fix: What I have to do in order to see both cards is I need to shut my HVX200 down, swap P2 cards in their respective slots and then turn it back on and then my Mac will see both cards.

Note: This is odd and quite annoying because the first time I ever ingested footage into my Mac it read both cards upon first connect. Since then I've ingested about 5 times and it always reads one card only and then I have to do the "Fix" listed above to see both cards. I've even tried rebooting my Mac instead of swapping the cards in the HVX200 and it will still only read one card. It is literally only after I connect the HVX200, reads one card, switch off, swap cards, then it will read both. Strange!

Any suggestions? Anyone else have this issue at all?

I apologize if this question has come up before but I couldn't find it in the many searches I have done. I love the site, it's a wealth of information that I rely on heavily.

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions,

I've had this happen also, and somewhere in here a fix was discussed, but I don't know where it is either. You might try the FCP forum if you haven't looked there.

I don't swap cards tho, I just pull one, then turn back on, and the other is recognized.

Thank you very much for responding. I was beginning to think no one besides myself was experiencing this issue. I will take a look in the FCP forum but if anyone else has any ideas that would be great too.

Thanks,
