Imac with 10.4.4 not recognizing samsung camcorder

Hi, Whenever I plug in my Samsung Digital Camcorder the Camera recognizes it is attached to a computer by showing a little DV symbol on the LCD screen. The camera does not mount or appear to be recognized when I open any application that should recognize it and when I go to apple system profiler under firewire system bus it says unknown device. Is there any way to get my computer to recognize this camcorder?

Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi, Nicholas.
The Mac OS X Digital Camcorder Support page does not list your Samsung SCD87 Digital Camcorder. Hence it may be (probably is) unsupported. Apple advises on that page that one should, "...consult them [the camcorder manufacturer] for the latest information about compatibility."
Good luck!

I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

IMac G5 Internal Hard Drive Not Recognized

I shut down my iMac G5 with the power button and not through the typical shutdown procedure once and then when it booted up it would not get past the gray screen. I eventually used the Leopard DVD to try to boot it and was able to get to disk utility to look at the drive. I tried to repair the drive but then the machine froze and I had to restart once more. Now the internal hard drive isn't recognized or seen at all. I actually switched out the SATA hard drive with another spare I had and that was not recognized either. I can get the mac to recognize the installation DVD still so I know my computer still functions properly but I just need it to recognize the drive now. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

Have you access to DiskWarrior or TechToolPro? Either of those might fix your problem otherwise, try booting from the Apple Hardware Test on your install disc and see what it says.

Sync new iPad with Mac bu Mac not recognizing

i plugged my new, first time used iPad into my mac and the mac is not recognizing the iPad. I then plugged the iPad into my PC and the PC did recognize and take me to the registration page in iTunes. I am wanting to sync with the Mac. Any ideas how to get the Mac to recognize?
Mac OS X
Version 10.4.11

Yes it is however, you can only use it for the following:
iPad 1st Gen
No Uses
iPad 2
No Uses
The New iPad
Use your iPad as a wireless hotspot. 3G/4G Versions only.
I hope this helped. I see you are meaning iPad 2, my iPad 1 sometimes uses my iMac as a hotspot (I think- The simbol is shown), even though my iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my iMac.

Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

Reinstall 2011 iMac with retail 10.6 not possible?

I am trying to reinstall my buddys 2011 iMac with his old 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD. It crashes every time I try to boot on the DVD. On the screen their is some random code saying something about Unsupported CPU.
What to do?

The harddrive has been changed to a bigger and he wants a clean install. :-)
First, obviously, I agree with Allan; however, I'm also a bit confused:
this is a brand new 2011 iMac for which he not only does not have the original install disks, but there is a different hard drive? Hopefully this was done by Apple or an AASP? If not, iMacs are not considered to be user upgradeable except for RAM, so this might have voided the warranty on a brand new machine?

TouchSmart not recognizing Hi8 Camcorder for home video capture.

To capture home videos on my computer, I am using a firewire-to-USB cable to connect a Hi8 Canon video camera to an HP TouchSmart 600-1100 PC running Windows 7. The computer is not recognizing the device. I can't tell if I have a IEEE 1394 device installed (not listed in my device manager) and i don't see any firewire port, only 2 USBs.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Firstly, nowadays nearly all new Windows computers don't have Firewire port(s). And secondly the Firewire-to-USB cable alone will never work. You need a converter or a hub which is designed to do a conversion work. Firewire and USB are both digitals but two different ways to transfer data. The following hub is one example:

My iMac with Mavericks update does not recognize my brother printer and I cannot even add the printer info in the system preferences printer list. What is WRONG?

I had to buy a new printer when I got my Imac and I chose the Brother multifunction inkjet MFCJ470DW. It worked fine when my Mavericks version was 10.9.1, but after the automatic update to 10.9.2 the computer no longer recognizes the brother, or says it isn't connected, and when I deleted it from printer preferences and attempted to re-enter it as default printer, I cannot even type anything into the list of printers when I press the + sign to add. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please tell me even how to add text into the printer preferences list?

I had some of the same issues your having, deleted the printer from Printer and Scanner in System Preference.
What I ended up doing was connecting the printer with a USB cable like it was a new set up, down loaded the drivers from Apple, still did not seem to work, but did a coupel of restarts and the printer was found then I completed the set up.

Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers. Purchased movies show up just fine. What to do or look for?

I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2. I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer. However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv. I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies.
What do I look for? What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

Answer to my own question:
Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac. This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
Finally, it showed up on my apple tv. Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

For Those Having Problems with iTunes 7.0 Not Recognizing Your iPod

Hello all:
So I was having the same issues that I have seen many others have. I install iTunes 7.0 and can no longer get my iPod to connect. I was about ready to uninstall and revert back to 6.0.5. However, I tried this instead:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect iPod.
3. Go to Control Panel.
4. Add/Remove Programs
5. Find iTunes and highlight it but do not select Remove.
6. Select Change.
7. Select the option to Repair.
8. Let the repair finish and select Finish when done.
9. Open iTunes and your iPod will hopefully show up.
Confirmed to work with 1st Gen 4GB nano on Windows XP Pro SP2. YMMV.
Best of luck,
John

BTW, this is only a temporary fix as you will have to do this each time you reconnect to your computer. I know it is a hack but something is better than nothing until Apple releases a fix.

Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?

My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?

Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.

Date function problems with dates from core not recognized as dates

Our core provides dates in two formats: YYYYDDD and MMDDYY (YYYYDDD for today [2/21/12] would be 2012052). We have determined that Crystal Reports is not viewing them as dates, but rather numbers. If querying on just a specific date, no problem. But if I want to use a date function like DayOfWeek, then things don't work.
I need a report to always provide yesterday's data - except on Monday, where it needs to look back at Friday.
I tried a criteria of:
if DayOfWeek(CurrentDate) = 1 then {DDMAST.DATOP7} = CurrentDate - 2 else
if DayOfWeek(CurrentDate) = 2 then {DDMAST.DATOP7} = CurrentDate - 3 else
{DDMAST.DATOP7} = CurrentDate -1
{DDMAST.DATOP7} is the date field from our core.
I tried this but got an error message of "A Number is Required Here" and it highlights the CurrentDate - 2.
Since we believe that Crystal Report is not viewing our dates as dates - but viewing them as numbers, what do I need to do to correct this? Someone suggested I'd need to extract each date portion (month, date, and year) and create variables to "build" a date that Crystal Reports would understand. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You're correct. There appears to be two branches in this thread.
To address your issue, Crystal only recognizes actual date types, ie. Months, Days and Years. Your serial date isn't a recognized date type so we have to:
1) Determine which format your date field is
2) Convert your number to a date using the appropriate formatting.
I am assuming your dates will either be 6 (MMddyy) or 7 (yyyyddd) characters long. If there are other patterns you'll need to determine that.
The problem I found is what does your date for today (March 6, 2012) look like in MMddyy format?
Any month before October would never have a leading 0 if your date is stored as a number. So you should take that into account as well using my logic.
I added that into the logic by checking for a length of 5.
NumberVar Full := 030612;
StringVar myDate;
myDate := ToText (Full, 0, "", "");
Select Length (myDate)
    Case 5: Date (2000 + ToNumber (myDate [4 to 5]), ToNumber (myDate [1]), ToNumber (myDate [2 to 3]))
    Case 6: Date (2000 + ToNumber (myDate [5 to 6]), ToNumber (myDate [1 to 2]), ToNumber (myDate [3 to 4]))
    Case 7: Date (ToNumber (myDate[1 to 4]), 1, 1) + (ToNumber (myDate [5 to 7]) - 1)
    Default: Date (0, 0, 0);
If you edit the first line and change it to:
NumberVar Full := 2012066;
You will also get today's date.

TS4552 Macbook Air Camera issues with Skype / Hangouts / Gotomeeting not recognizing built-in camera after OS X 10.8.5

Hi,
Unfortunately the given answer in the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4552s is lame and unacceptable for us as new macbook air users.
Not only Skype does not recognize the camera. Google hangouts or gotomeeting applications don´t identify the built-in camera either.
We bought this machine to be always connected to our friends, family and co-workers, and the fact of not being able to take advantage to the most common video-calling apps is just dissapointing.
As a brand new mac user, I havent had the chance to back up the previous version of my system, and my mac distributor/seller doesnt accept any return/change because hardware is running fine with FaceTime...
Skype or Google say its an Apple issue... and Apple says its Microsoft or Google. Meanwhile we are having a lame experience as brand new mac users, and Apple should pay attention of that.
We hope Apple understands it needs to be fixed right away. We wait nothing but the best from Apple, so I really look forward to listen a prompt solution of this
Thanks!
