Are there any known issues with the Sony DCR-SR65?

Has anyone had any experience with this camera? My school is looking to buy one so I can record classes & school events. I am just trying to make sure it is recognised by the computer and that there are no major problems with it.
Also, it seems that it only has USB (no firewire). Does anyone see this as an issue?
Does anyone have a better recommendation for a video camera than the above?
I have a late 2007 iMac with both iMovie 08 and 06.
With thanks
Mike.

I would disagree with Bengt's advice to this extent.
You don't need firewire for the modern high definition cameras that are on the Apple Supported List.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
Most of these cameras require USB and do not even have firewire.
However, avoid USB-only cameras for standard definition or DV formats (especially if they are not on the supported list.)
Also, just about any miniDV/Firewire camera will work. You don't have to worry whether or not they are on the list.

  • Are there any known issue with the HP 3005pr USB 3 replicator ?

    Hi,
    I recently ordered an HP laptop Pavilion dv6t-7000 with Intel i7 and nVidia video. While the unit isn't due to arrve for about 2 weeks, I'm looking for a docking station/port replicator.
    Are there any known issues with the HP 3005pr USB 3 replicator ? Does it fully support Win7 64 bit? I am also considering the Targa U3 unit, but I'd prefer HP if I can be assured that it works.
    I'd like to be able to leave the laptop closed when at my desk so I can use  an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
    Does HP make this device or does a 3rd party make it for them?
    I've read so many stories on various forums regarding these things.
    Any suggestions from HP or others? I need to order something soon, but I don't want head aches when it arrives.
    thanks,
    Steve

    This HP USB 3.0 Port Replicator fully supports with Windows 7 64-bit, if that is the one that you are talking about.

  • Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    magic mouse behaves very erratically; seems buggy and tracks slow. will crash Logic when rubber-banding or moving events in piano roll edit windeo. very frustrating. have not been able to duplicate this crash using my old wired mouse (from my G4)
    someone at a Mac store suggested i may have a"bad" mouse... what gives? any help would be appreciated. i will be happy to replace the mouse if that is the issue...robert

    Hello,
    In answer to your question, I have not heard of any "known problems."
    The device may, indeed, be faulty.  Try resetting the PRAM and SMC before you buy a new one.

  • Are there any known issues with the epub plugin causing firefox to revert search engine back to yahoo and then disabling the ability to change search settings?

    My wife recently added a plugin, epub reader. Upon starting up Firefox the next day she noticed that the default search engine was changed back to Yahoo after we previously fixed this. Furthermore the ability to change search settings was grayed out. After epub reader was removed the problem was solved. I am surprised that I am unable to find anything written to this end about epub reader. Is this a tool promoted and distributed by Yahoo?
    Incidentally, how much would each user need to contribute to get mozilla away from Yahoo? Yahoo is, in my opinion, little more than an advertising vehicle, and not a real search engine.

    I went to Costco today and asked long known VZW Kiosk rep re what phone would he recommend...DX, DI or Fascinate.
    Not to my surprise, I was told that DX is the best of those three. Given the fact that all three is the same price $199, it indicates that is has nothing to do with price.
    When I acquired him about how Fascinate sales going, rep told me that since that phone went for sale this Thursday, local Costco only sold 10 Fascinate but that not all...7 of them were returned back to Costco by Saturday. That is a 70% return rate which seems to be way too high for the high level smartphone.
    At the same time, local Costo VZW kiosk can't keep up with demand of the DX, they are being sold out as soon as they are getting them. I am not advertising for DX here as I am myself briefly owned DX as soon as it was released and its problem with reboot forced me to return it as I didn't want to deal with replacement as I had bad experience in the past two years with VZW replacing my phones every two to three month with replacement phone being worse then the one that is being replaced.
    There is no such a thing as a perfect smartphone (sorry to all iPhone fans) but VZW should take a special "achievement" award for screwing up such a wonderful phone as Galaxy S.
    I can only hope that either DX with 2.2 will be better than the one with 2.1 or I will wait for what is coming up with HTC in November. 

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

  • Are there any known issues with a 2003 server authenticating to a 2012 domain controller

    I am trying to get off of these 2003 domain controllers. But I still have a couple of 2003 servers that will be decommissioned by early next year. If I change my environment and get rid of the two 2003 dc's, and promote two 2012 dc's. Will I have any issues
    with the 2003 servers authenticating? I have a very small maintenance window, and do not have time to test on my own. I was hoping someone else has tried this before, and knows the results.

    Hi,
    I am not aware of any issues with 2012 as domain controller role. There was an issue with 2012 R2 as domain controller role related to the AES encryption for computer password, but MS issued a hotfix and a rollup (covers many other issues along).
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/910205?wa=wsignin1.0
    Once you upgrade your schema to support 2012 domain controllers you can start promoting those and eliminate 2003 ones.
    I have been running this in our environment and I see no issues. In fact i am using 2012 R2 DC which were problematic.
    Here is another good link to upgrade from 2003 to 2012 or 2012 R2.

  • Are there any known issues with speed between excel 2003 and 2010 when using WAAS?

    Request asked by customer. Thought I would run this by the forum first.
    Can you please raise a ticket with Cisco TAC asking why Excel files in 97-2003 file format cannot be fully optimized when compared to the same file being saved in the latest file format?
    When using the latest file format, the user experience is amazing and up to 100x faster to open and save files. Our testing has identified an issue with the older file format.

    I deployed WAAS about 3 years ago. Part of the deployment was before and after testing. When the users used Office 2010 the results were good. When they used Office 2003 the results were terrible. Some files took minutes to open, some never opened. Solution was to upgrade to O2010.
    Hope this helps.

  • Are there any known issues with iPad wifi connections to Comcast routers

    I consistently get the "unable to join network " error when trying to connect to my Comcast all in one router.  My other laptops and smartphones connect without issue.  I'm using 32GB iPad2 with wi-fi + 3G.  Coincidentally I switched to comast at the same time I did the 5.1.1 update.  Prior to the switch i had a fios router and 5.0 OS version. I've tried resetting the network info on the iPad and I've reset the router as well.  I can see the network just cant connect to it. 

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Are there any known issues with Silverlight plugin?

    Every time I attempt to see a page using
    the silverlight plugin, Safari stops responding!
    Is it just my configuration, or are there more issues with this plug
    in as there were with Windows Media Player?
    Regards

    OK, as I am on a PPC Mac I have never tried version 2.
    As you may recall, Silverlight got its 'breakthrough' when the Chinese authorities decided to broadcast the Olympics using Silverlight. Suddenly everyone needed it!
    Now you read press reports of this or that news agency dropping Silverlight, and I don't think I have come across it more than once since the Olympics.
    I am beginning not to wonder why!
    But this article may be of interest:

  • I am currently running webroot internet security essentials with spy sweeper antispy protection. Are there any known issues with software?

    I don't know what else to put. I am just asking a question.

    I actually dont have any trouble with the mode switching right now, it works great. That's actually why I'm buying the second X-fi, so I have the ability to switch modes with the different cards. I'm not using the software that came on the CD, but the updated drivers off of the web, and there is a drop down box to change which card you want to set settings for. What issues should I be looking out for?

  • Are there any known issues with Yosemite (iMac/Intel)?

    I have seen reported issues with Wi-Fi, Interrnet connection, and ethernet.  Are these still valid concerns at this point - or has the OS been updated?

    Those never were valid concerns. A very small percentage of users had issues but by and large most of us have had no problems whatsoever. However before upgrading you should always make a backup of your entire system in the event that you want to downgrade to your previous state. Make sure that you have at LEAST 4gb of ram and more is better. Also check to be sure that applications you depend on are compatible or upgradable for Yosemite.

  • Are there any known issues with downloadin​g printer drivers?

    Hi there.
    New laptop so I'm trying to download the drivers for our office printer. Using the http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/drivers.html page but when I click on the link for a CM2320nf MFP, all I ever get is a message saying that the page is unavailable. I've tried both the 'find my product' and 'detect my product' routes with no success. I have an Elitebook but that's not the problem as none of my colleagues can access the page either, on Macs or other HP laptop models. Please can you advise. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Probably yes:
