| My Camera and hard drive don't work together. Why not? | Apr-03-23 |
| Applies to theThe Yin-Yang FireWire hub or a 2-port FireWire 800 ExpressCard/34.
Some cameras, notably older Canon cameras, are not compatible with other FireWire devices that include a FireWire hub. Note that hubs are built into most FireWire hard drives with 2- or 3- FireWire ports. The result is that only one device may be seen by the computer. There is an old forum on this issue here: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-gl-series-dv-camcorders/49843-canons-official-word-their-firewire-issues.html
You may always connect two FireWire hard drives of any kind without a problem. You may connect a cranky camera plus a FireWire 800 drive that has only a single FireWire 800 port without a problem.

| I have a 17" MacBook Pro 6,1 and my ExpressCard does not work after upgrading to Mavericks. | Dec-30-13 |
| There is a bug in the Apple ExpressCard driver specific to 10.9 (and 10.9.1) that prevents ExpressCards from initializing in the MBP 6,1. We have reported it to Apple and expect Apple to fix it in a future release. In the meantime, we have a patcher for you.
Download the Qio System Installer here http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=402&expand=_a3&action=b496#b496
When you get to the installation type, click \u8220 Customize\u8221 , deselect everything but IOPCIFamily, and click \u8220 Install\u8221 . Restart and all should be well. When Apple updates the ExpressCard Driver, it will overwrite the old driver with the Sonnet patch, so there will never be a need to uninstall. |
