I have a Sony DCR-TRV11, and well it won't work with my iMac. I took it to get repaired, cause I noticed the firewire pins on it were bent and one was missing, though the guy at the place I took it to managed to get it to work with his PC, odd. Anyway, I went to the Sony site to see if I needed drivers or something, well THERE ARE NO MAC DRIVERS FOR SONY CAMERAS! And the camera is on the compatibility list, so WTF!?

I have the TRV-11 and the same iMac as you. Everything works fine for me. Just plug it in and everything works. No drivers necessary. Maybe update your iMovie?

Oh, there was a point in time that it wouldnt work at all, and that turned out to be a fried logic board (firewire ports dead). Do you have another firewire device that does work?

That said, I am starting to dislike the camera. Although I have put it through hell, Its gone back to Sony 3 times for the same problem and is showing faint signs of a 4th trip.

My iPod works fine on both FireWire ports.

Do you have an iSight? Unplug it if you do.

Nope, no iSight over here.

did you try to unplug all your other firewire devices before trying the camera. In the past, I have had some firewire devices confict with my dv deck.

That can't be it, I already tried my cousin's camera, it worked fine.
