Camcorder

[rickza]

Please help me. I can't connect my camcorder (JVC GZ MG155-AG) to my PC. I use windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. When I try to connect my camcorder, it says that it can't recognize my camcorder. JVC's site told me that my camcorder compatible with windows 7. Please tell me how to fix it.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hello Rickza,

See this thread.

and this.

Windows 7 not recognizing my JVC camcorder

Do you use firewire to connect or usb?

 

[rickza]

I use USB. It shows on device manager as unknown device.

The link doesn't help. I didn't find IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers on my device manager.

How many USB's do you have connected to your computer? I have read more than 3 may cause a problem.
Shut down computer and just plug in your camcorder to see if that helps.
Make sure you have downloaded the most recent update of your camcorder.
These are things I would do to get it running.

I've try it, and it's failed. JVC suck at customer service. They didn't have the driver online. I have to pay for the original driver CD (mine is missing) and that was the same old driver. Help pleaseee

You cam corder is on the Windows 7 compatibility list at JVC Windows® 7 Home Premium (32bit/64bit) Compatibility about Drivers/Applications for Camcorder | Support & Download for JVC Products | | JVC

You might want to invest in a dedicated power USB Hub, your USB power from your PC might not be able to handle the device.

Ummm.... make sense. Thanks for the advice. I'll try it

@ fishbanjo: Nil. Nothing happened. BTW it's getting worst. Another problem occured. My sony dcr-sr47 can't connect to my PC. Two camcorders cannot connect to my PC, so it must be obvious that there's something wrong with my PC. HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE

Do you notice anything weird going on in Device manager, are your USB drivers still there. You could try a couple things here.

1) run your antivirus/antimalware as there are some that will disable your USB ports
2) Shut down the pc and let it boot back up and try one USB device at a time, using one USB port at a time and move on to the next one to see if any of your ports are just going bad, that will eliminate the possible PC/Motherboard issue.

A couple of thoughts anyway

USB or IEEE 1394

Is your camera USB or IEEE 1394? There are several other threads where users are having trouble with camcorders that use a firewire (1394) connection - as mine does. I just figured out that while my Win 7 system will NOT recognize my camera when it is the only thing plugged into my 1394 card, it DOES recognize it when there is something else running through the 1394 card.
