Topic: Tapers Help 722 firewire questions

[magickbrother]

Hey now,
I just got back from kc & IA -I taped both shows (140's->722) so here my question
I've borrowed this 722 from brad Z & I'm using a mac. and I can't seem to get the 722 to mount as a hard drive (plug it in pushed stop & HDD buttons it say connecting firewire and nothing happens)
is their some setting I don't have on in the menu something.
I would be very grateful "4" any help
( I'm totally new at this 722 thing)
I want to get these shows up

it shoudl just pop up as an external drive but I have never used mine witha  mac before, but most folks have no issues, just unplug and try again it can picky sometimes, great combo of the 140>722 though!

Have you downloaded the manual from the SD website & read the section on firewire connections?

[ghellquist]

Should be nothing special. Just plug in and run.

But -- if you have 2.x version software/hardware there is a menu choice 82 Firewire Connection which you should set to Computer.
Genarally I like to turn the 722 off, then connect cables and finally turn on the 722, but then I am on a PC:

what firmware do you have installed? I had random firewire problems until the latter firmwaqre versions. try 2.15 and Id imagine it will lock on and read the drive without problems...

 problem could also be either your firewire card or cable, try another device or another cable to double check

Xferring the files is a copy function on the menu list.  I do not have my manual by the 'puter.  Try and D/L the one at the SD site.  Maybe someone else can help you, but if you are in a rush D/L'ing the manual will work.

Cheers

in the mean time, can i transfer files off my 722 hard drive onto a cf card placed in the slot on the 722?  if yes, can someone walk me through it?

thanks for the help boojum. i found the walk through in the manual, which i've read a few times already and never noticed this mentioned 
until i figure out my connection issues this will be an ok workaround

Anytime.  Any friend of Hunter Thompson's is a friend of mine.

Tim, get a QUALITY FW Cable AND a QUALITY FW CArd and you should be good to go

Good luck!
