I have a new MAC and that will not recognize my GS150 camcorder through a USB or Fire Wire connection. I am using IMOVIE and IDVD and neither are working. The MAC is running MAC OS X version 10.4.7 Any help would be much appreciated.
The problem is that that Apple tutorials and the Panasonic manuals both tell you to set your camera to "PC" when you're ready to import. At least with iMovie 08, you need to set the camera to regular "Playback" mode or else you'll get the "communication error" message.
Make sure you're using the right connectors -- the DV port on the inside of where the LCD screen opens up.
I have the same problem. my mac does not recognize that there is a camera hooked up. please post how you solved the problem!!!
I hate it when people find a solution after asking others for help and then don't bother to post how they did it!
So how did you do it>
Oh, I figured it out. I finally was able to import from iMovie through the firewire cable. And it works wonderfully.
