You first need to master just taking pictures of stars. You can do this on any clear night and you'll want to have it down pat by the time the shower happens. TLMS's excellent advice will get you there. In addition, I would suggest: 1) Be sure you're manually focusing on a bright star and checking with live view on the back display. 2) Check the first few exposures and adjust as necessary. 3) I usually do nighttime long exposures with the in-camera long-exposure noise reduction active, but when trying to catch something fleeting like meteors, the denoising gaps can cause you to miss good shots. Likewise with lightning. I would turn it off in this case. 4) Once you find the right field of view (i.e. actually catch a meteor), set your tripod and camera and don't move it if you plan to stack exposures or do star trails. 5) On a tripod, I turn off image stabilization. 6) If your camera has the small lever to shield the eyepiece, closing it helps keep out light leaks. 7) You should be shooting on full manual mode. If you have the basics down, catching a meteor is just a question of having the shutter open when it flys by.

If you're still having issues it could be a lens speed/ISO thing, so maybe hardware limitations? I often shoot stars at 2400-3600 ISO on an f/2.8 or faster lens, with 10-30 second exposures. Maybe a meteor is too brief for low ISOs?
