I connect it to my MacBook Pro using a USB cable but it doesn't communicate

To connect your Canon ZR 800 camcorder to your MacBook Pro using a Firewire connection, you will need a Firewire cable and a Firewire port on your computer. Here are the steps you can follow to connect your camcorder to your MacBook Pro:

1. Locate the Firewire port on your MacBook Pro. It is usually located on the side or back of the computer and is marked with a symbol that looks like a small lightning bolt.
2. Connect one end of the Firewire cable to the Firewire port on your MacBook Pro.
3. Locate the Firewire port on your Canon ZR 800 camcorder. It is usually located on the side or back of the camcorder and is marked with a symbol that looks like a small lightning bolt.
4. Connect the other end of the Firewire cable to the Firewire port on your camcorder.
5. Turn on your camcorder and set it to playback mode.
6. Open the video editing software on your MacBook Pro and choose the option to import video from a Firewire device.
7. Follow the prompts in the software to import the video from your camcorder.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I can think of two possible issues. Assuming that the USB ports work on the MacBook Pro with other devices, try a new USB cable. It's a basic USB 2.0 A to micro-b cable. (See https://www.cablestogo.com/learning/connector-guides/usb#USBMicroB for the shape.) Two:
the scanner driver is not compatible with the version of the Mac OS version on your Mac Pro. The OS compatibility list for the Silvercrest SND 3600 C2 is for Mac OSX 10.6-10.11 is available here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1395182/Silvercrest-Snd-3600-C2.html?page=83#manual . The D3 version works with Mac OSX 10.6 and higher.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the full model number of the slide and negative scanner and OS version on your MacBook Pro.

(By the way, if you are using a USB A (F) to USB C (M) adapter or a USB hub, that could be another source of communication failure between the scanner and the MacBook Pro. Try a direct connection or a different adapter.)

you need a special adapter as apple does not use hdmi or VGA. it uses a USB-C port .

Hi,

The USB port of the My Cloud is designed to be used as an extension port. You may use it to attach another external to the My Cloud or device like a camera. If you prefer cable connection between your PC and your My Cloud, I would recommend you to use an Ethernet cable.

Apple don't allow anything to link to Macbook's via bluetooth. I can't even connect my iPhone 4 to my Macbook Pro unless I connect it with a USB cable.

Hi, I have a Sony EVI D100 that works. I have a Visca USB Cable and an s-Video cable and video cable. I will be connecting it to my MacBook Pro. What else do I need to use this Cam with my Mac to feed video to the mac? I also have a Mini Display Port To AV/CVBS/RCA/S-Video Converter Mac

you can try other USB cable which length should not be more then 1.5 meter after that if it is not working . replace usb printer card(PCB)

You should be able to use a USB - 4 pin mini-DIN cable with this projector.

turn on the printer sharing via the system preference panel on the computer that is on the system via usb.
Then on your wifi computer look for shared printers and you'll see your printer in the list under the host computer name... use that setting and it should fire up for you!
let me know how it goes...
