Having difficulty tethering a P65+ to a MacBook Pro

[NNN636562991323770248]

I'm currently attempting to tether a P65+ to a MacBook Pro, currently without success. When Capture One detects the camera, an error box pops up with the following text:

Attach Camera

The camera could not be attached.
It is not configured for IEEE 1394 storage.

My configuration is as follows:

2012 MacBook Pro (the last year that had a built-in Firewire 800 interface). 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, MacOS X High Sierra.
Latest version of Capture One DB
P65+ on Hasselblad H2
Firewire cable is a brand new 10 ft FW400-FW800 cable.
Back is set to be powered by its battery -- I'm not attempting to power it via FW.

The camera is definitely being seen on the FW bus:

Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec

Unknown Device:

Manufacturer: Phase One
GUID: 0xE0580001101536
Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
Connection Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
Sub-units:
Unknown Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x66
Unit Spec ID: 0xE058

Any help would be gratefully appreciated -- thanks!

Have you set the back to store the images via FireWire/Auto?

I'm an idiot. I missed that completely in the docs first time around -- I was able to get it working.

One other quick question -- is live view supported by the P65+ on the Hasselblad H system?

Thanks

I should work just like on a Phase camera but don't expect too much... I found it somewhat "okay" for still life in the studio, but for everything else it was completely useless. The image quality is bad, the refresh rate even worse, it sucks your batteries dry and produces a lot of heat on the back.

ps: no need to apologize, I think everyone has a few issues in the beginning - but don't let those deter you. It's a fantastic back, just treat it like a film back (or rather a polaroid back), take your time and you'll be very happy with the results!

The P65+ cannot tell the H Cameras to open then shutter automatically for live view... therefore after starting live view in Capture One, you must open the shutter manually. The best way to do this is to set the shutter speed to "Time" -this allows you to push the shutter button once to open it and again to close it. Always close the shutter first before existing live view.
