IMPORT issues: Works with iMovie 3 but not iMovie 6 ???

Okay, still trying to get my import issue resolved.
I have a SONY HDR-HC3 DVmini.
No problems with iMovie 3 on my Powerbook.
iMovie 6 on my MDD will let me control the camera, but the screen stays BLUE with no IMPORT.
My buddy thinks it might be a Quicktime issue.
He said to download Quicktime Pro, that might resolve this issue.
I can copy the iMovie 3 file to my machine with iMovie 6 and do the editing, just not the importing...
THANX

Hi
Can be so much.
Often Camera has to be connected to Charger/mains during Capture.
An majority is a faulthy - badly connected FW-Cable (USB don't work at all)
My list on this
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
*Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
*No Camera or bad import*
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

  • Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

    I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter).  Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it  Thanks, - Matt Symes

    OK - I appear to have resolved the issue.  I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.    

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    YEAY!
    I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
    OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
    You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
    You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
    BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
    On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
    Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
    The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
    Worked like a charm.

    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.

  • Enterprise Mgr works with one db but not the other

    Hi
    We have two Oracle 10g databases installed. Enterprise Manager works with the second, but not the first. I believe the problem started when we migrated the host server to another network domain. Everything else works fine, but I'm getting a page load failure when attempting to access enterprise mgr.
    The second db was installed after the migration and EM works fine.
    Can anyone tell me how to reconfigure this?
    Thank you

    also can u paste the emoms.trc ?

  • Home sharing works with one account but not another?

    My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

    Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

  • Why does my Web Handler work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox

    I am trying to develop a web page that uses the Simile Timeline (http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline) with data from SQL Server.
    In initial testing of my timeline I tested it with Example.xml, a static XML file in the correct format to be event data. I wrote the following in the appropriate place within mytimeline's Javascript: -
    var WebHandler = "Example.xml"
    tl.loadXML(WebHandler, function (xml, url) { eventSourceFamily.loadXML(xml, url) });
    This worked fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I then changed the assignment to
    var WebHandler = "GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=" + getControlValue("input", "hdnUser");
    so that invoked a web handler that could look up the SQL database and return the XML that I wanted, and wrote this web handler.
    This works perfectly with Internet Explorer, but with FireFox the timeline band is blank. Yet when I examine the http traffic with Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) I see that with either browser there is a response from URL
    /GDB_pages/GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=robertb
    that returns the XML that it is supposed to.
    I have previously used web handlers with Firefox before, with no problems. The Fiddler results conclusively show that the web handler is invoked, and returns the appropriate XML, and this XML is identical to the XML from the static test with Example.xml.
    Where do I start looking for answers? I don't even know if this is a Simile problem, a Firefox problem, or an ASP.NET problem.
    Thank you, Robert.

    Problem solved. The issue: Content Type was not correct.
    Visual Studio creates the web handler with dummy code like this: -
    Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
    context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
    context.Response.Write("Hello World")
    End Sub
    I wrote a database query that set a string variable to the XML I wanted: -
    Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
    Dim Outstring as string
    ' my logic to fill Outstring with XML
    context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
    context.Response.Write(Outstring)
    End Sub
    This works with Internet Explorer. However it's not strictly correct: to make it work with other browsers as well,
    context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
    should be
    context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
    It now works with IE, FF, and Chrome, and presumably all others.

  • Attempting to use certreq -enroll to enroll to a client authentication certificate works with Windows 8, but not with Windows 7...

    This has been an issue for a while now.  Trying to use certreq -enroll -machine [Template Name] on Windows 7 machines fails with not implemented.  When I run this command with the -q flag I see that the certificate I want is unavailable and displays:
    A valid certification authority (CA) configured to issue certificates based on this template cannot be located, or the CA does not support this operation, or the CA is not trusted.
    When I go into the properties of this certificate and goto the Certification Authority tab and check the "Show all enrollment servers" it shows my server greyed out with this message:
    The system could not determine if you can access this certificate.  Not implemented.
    The template sits on a enterprise 2003 server CA and this process works with Windows 8.1 machines.  Which means that the template has the correct permissions and is issued correctly.
    Is this a known issue with Windows 7 or am I missing something in the config?  Help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I have done some tests on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine and a Windows 8.1 Enterprise machine, it turns out that I have the same issue with you.
    On the Windows 7 machines, I cannot use Certreq.exe to request machine certificates, but I can successfully request user certificates, and there is no issue with the Windows 8.1 machine.

    Interesting.  From what I can tell, there are no patches that fix this issue either...

  • HylaFax on OS X 10.4.7 Working with internal modem but not USB Modem

    I have managed to configure and install HylaFax on a powerbook G4 with an internal fax/modem.
    Only a couple of hangups to get that configuration to work.
    As per the prerequisites outline here:HylaFax Prerequisites
    You need the Xcode tools to use it's compiler.
    The only other thing you may not have is:
    libtiff
    ghostscript
    If you are running an x-serve you probably already have an MTA as well (postfix)
    There are someOS X Specific install instructions of which I only had to follow the first couple, to create a user. Some of the latter instructions I found unecessary since startup is handled by launchd as far as I understand.
    Before I compiled I had to put the hylafax source on a thumb drive, I know it seems wierd, but it worked. Something to do with the HFS+ format of the hard drive. But low and behold it worked. (the hylafax website mentions issues with other disk formatting besides UFS, but the fat32 formatted thumb drive worked for me)
    A little side note:
    You need to actually download the ghostscript fonts from the ghostscript project FTP site and mv them to the proper location:
    /usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.54/fonts/
    Once installed run:
    /usr/local/sbin/faxsetup
    It should prompt you to install your modems.
    After doing this I had to start hylafax
    #sudo /usr/local/sbin/hylfax start
    and run a faxgetty command to enable incomming and outgoing
    #sudo /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttys.modem
    After doing so I was able to receive faxes and open them up with a pdf viewer, as well as send faxes via an application or printer driver on the mac and PC (windows xp with win hylafax print) Super SIMPLE! which is great for end users.
    Okay so here is why I am actually posting on here. It is great that I got this working, but the final configuration will be on an x-serve that has no internal modem, and I would like to use more than one modem in case of high traffic incoming and outgoing. I purchased 2 apple usb fax/modems and when running faxaddmodem it even recognizes the modem, but never is fully able to use it like the internal modem. If anyone has any insight it would be great.
    The issue I am seeing is that when I run
    /usr/local/bin/faxstat -s
    The modem says Waiting for modem to come ready
    Thanks!

    Just wanted to say I got hylafax to work with a usb modem on a powerbook, not sure if it's stable and user friendly enough to be used my a wide base here, but it's definitely cool, and it does work. I just wish it had LDAP/mysql integration, instead of the flat file business it has.
    Anybody with any input on hylafax would be great.

  • AE Works with Ethernet Cable, but not Wirelessly. Please Help!!

    I purchased the AE to run music streams via Airtunes from my wireless router/PC upstairs to my stereo downstairs. When I hook everything up upstairs with the ethernet cable, everything works like a charm, but the moment I remove the ethernet cable, the AE is not being picked up by the network. I set everything up for the wireless network (while the ethernet cable was hooked up) and have a green light on the AE, but when I try to use it wirelessly, it is blinking amber and not appearing within AirPort Utlity (only when hooked up with ethernet). I have a Westell 327W Wireless Modem/Router and could use some advice as to what I am doing wrong to get some tunes downstairs.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi:
    I was chasing this very topic for a long while, then took a break.
    You are suppose to be able to stream music from your PC to external stereo speakers via iTunes, thru an Airport Express (AE) wirelees connection.
    Here's my status:
    It is pretty easy to get a wireless connection up & running so that you can play music from your laptop/pc to external wirelss speakers via iTunes, thru AE.
    I have that up & running. The problem comes in when trying to add the Airport Express to an already existing Linksys router's wireless network. When setting
    the AE up, you'll most likely get 4 error messages that have to be addressed before you go from from a flashing amber LED to a solid green LED. If you are just using Apple's ad-hoc wireless conncetion, you'll need to use Airport Utility to address the 4 issues. Basically, Airport Utility doesn't know how to address AE, since it doesn't have any IP address to a network. The other 3 are simlar problems. If you just tell Aiport Utility to ignore each of these problems, you will get the solid green LED on AE, and you'll be able to stream music directly from your PC to your speakers, wirelessly, once you finish the AE configuartion, and Airport Utility reconfigures the AE.
    I have my HP laptop and printer setup with a Linksys 54G Router and Printserver,
    so that the laptop and printer communicate wirelssly via the Linksys Router.
    Now comes the fun...trying to add the AE to this already existing wireless network. I could get the AE to work when I had an Ethernet cable connected directly from a port on the router to the AE, but when I disconnected the Ethernet cable, the router no longer saw the AE in the network. I followed all of the instructions in the Airport Utility software, went seeking advice on this
    newsgroup, the web, etc. Found lots of good information, but a lot of it was outdated.
    I have my Linksys wirless network setup with WEP-64 encryption.
    From what I have gathered, it is much easeir to add the AE to a WPA/WPA2 network, than to a WEP64/128 network, just because of newer protocols.
    The problem that I have is that WPA encryption works much slower for me than
    WEP encryption. Example: iTunes is roughly 60 MB is size. Downloading it
    using WPA, results is a download time of 22-23 minutes; where a download
    using WEP-64 takes 75-80 seconds !
    In the past, what I was trying to do was add the AE to my already existing
    wireless network. Now, I have a wireless network for the AE. I want to try to add this network to my already existing wireless netowrk for the Linksys router.
    I just haven't taken the time to try it yet. From what Apple tells me, Linksys makes this setup messy. The fact that the AE works by itself proves that the
    device is OK.
    For a history of the problems that I have been chasing in trying to get the AE setup and added to my already existing Linksys router network, visit the following link in the list of "problems" on this Apple newsgroup's web page.
    Search for the folowing topic title:
    Problems Setting-up Airport Express to Play Music thru External Speakers
    Currently, is is at the bottom of page 12 of this discusssion group.
    The info in it may be useful to you.
    Please let me know if you get yours up & running in the Linksys wireless
    network.
    Thank you

  • Router Problem - Works with Windoze, Linux, but not with Mac

    I can't seem to get any router to work with my Mac.
    I've tried a Linksys 'b' router, a Netgear 'g' router and a Belkin 'g' router.
    No joy.
    When I connect my Mac directly to my cable modem (Motorola Surfboard), there are no issues. When I connect the router in between, the Mac pulls the proper ip address and I can ping the router, but I can't get any further. If I try to ping an outside ip address (such as the 4.2.2.2 dns) I get the error message "ping: sendto: Cannot allocate memory". [Does anyone know what this message means?]
    A second computer (IBM NetVista) connects reliably using Windoze XP. The same machine, booted in CentOS also connects reliably (after disabling the firewall).
    Note, these are all wired connections. I'm not even trying to use wireless yet. The cables all check out, since they all work in other configurations (the Mac->router cable is the same one I use for Mac->Surfboard, and the router->surfboard cable works when connecting from the NewVista machine.
    I thought the Mac problems might be firewall related. I had "Brickhouse" installed,but it has since been removed. My network settings no long advise that there is any firewall software in place (previously Sharing > Firewall was greyed out with message that other firewall software was installed). Sharing > Firewall now reports "Firewall Off".
    I know the routers work, since I can connect from the NetVista machine. I know the cables are good, because they all work in other configurations. I know the Mac is seeing the router, and the router is seeing the Mac because a correct ip address is pulled. I can even communicate between the machines (ftp,ssh) but I can't get internet access using the Mac through the router.
    Oh yeah... one other oddity. When I have personal web sharing enabled, an attempt to access the router setup page at 192.168.1.1 fetches the local server index.html page instead of accessing the router. When web sharing is off, I get a "you are not connected to the internet" message.
    Any insight?

    Very strange indeed!
    Only 2 suggestions at this point...
    Get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Try dragging these files to the Desktop & Reboot...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist

  • K9N2 Diamond works with X2 3800+ but not Phenomii 940 with updated BIOS

    The system in question.
    MSI K9N2 Diamond Current BIOS 7375v 2.6, have also tried 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2
    AMD Phenom II 940
    2X 2Gb Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5
    Antec True Power 750 Watt P.S.
    EVGA Nvidia GTX 260 GPU
    W.D. 300Gb HDD
    This system is about 6 months old. When I put this system together for my brother in law, he ordered the parts with the intention of using his old mobo but didn't realize it didnt support the phenom chip he ordered. SO rather than waiting for another ordered part we took a trip to our local Comp USA. K9N2 Diamond said it was phenom 2 ready, yeah ok. Anyway after a few hours of going crazy trying to figure this out for him I found out it wasn't phenom2 capable till you updated the BIOS with an older CPU. Lucky for us I use an X2 3800+ in my machine. So I popped my chip in and ipdated his BIOS with the USB drive tool. Everything seemed right with the world then.
     Now he brought the PC over for me to install Windows 7 64 bit for him. Did the install and was tracking down the few drivers Windows 7 missed and ran across Live update 4 for drivers and utilities. Should have known better but I went ahead and let it update the BIOS to 2.6. Sure enough, the CPU and GPU fans cycle on and off with no post. Check this post as his issues are identical to the ones I am experiencing. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133615.0 Now they never resolved this guys issue and it looks like he just RMA'd the board.
    So I started narrowing down the possible issues. First thing I did was find the MSI USB Flash Tool again and put BIOS 2.2 back on with my 3800+ back in his machine. Machine worked with every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 installed with USB tool with my 3800+ in his machine but would not post at all with all BIOS versions and his phenomII. Every time his CPU is in the machine, when the power is turned on the CPU and the GPU fans both go to max RPM then turn off over and over. Cleared CMOS multiple times. I know the clear was working when I put my 3800+ in it would state the time was reset in BIOS. Pulled everything out but one stick of RAM and same thing, posts with 3800+, nothing with phenomII. Tried the other stick of RAM although it passed both a memory test with USB tool and memtest with 3800+ installed. Same. Pulled CoolMax 750W PS from my machine and put it in his. Same issues. No post with PhenomII, posts with 3800+. Now this is with NOTHING but a stick of known good RAM, PS, Mobo, CPU and CPU fan. Using onboard video. All other drives, fans, pci devices, ect are disconnected.
    So now I have 2 machines in my office all taken apart as I do not want to have to button my machine back up just to tear it back apart in case I have to do more to his Mobo with my CPU. I would rather not have to RMA the board if I do not have to like the guy in the link to the post I put up above.

    I understand the need for future proofing mainboards as much as possible. What I am not ok with is the labeling on the box stating the board is PhenomII ready when in fact it isn't ready unless you have an older CPU that you can use to flash the BIOS to make it ready. Plus, if Live Update is the POS that everyone makes it out to be on the forums, why is it the first option on MSI's website for driver and BIOS downloads? MSI's USB Flash Tool is probably one of the easiest things I have ever used to update a BIOS, why not have that as the first option?
    Anyway, I managed to talk a buddy into bringing his rig over to help me figure this out. Replaced his 965 with the 940 in question and it fired right up in an ASUS M4A785-M mobo. Tried the memory and PS in his rig as well just to triple check them and they were also good. Put his 965 in the K9N2 Diamond after making sure the BIOS was version 2.6 with the 3800+ and did not fire up with his 965 in the socket.
    So a quick recap.
    940 and 965 PhenomII will not post in the K9N2 Diamond but the 3800+ will.
    All three post in the M4A785
    tested memory by using only the slot closest to CPU in K9N2 on stick at a time. Both sticks work in the K9 with the 3800+ and both sticks work in the M4A785 with all three CPU's.
    have tried every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 using the MSI USB Flash Tool with the 3800+ in the K9N2.
    Have cleared CMOS multiple times with the power cord out and holding down the On/Off switch for 20 seconds to discharge the caps before clearing. After every clear the next successful post says that the BIOS time needs to be updated.
    P.S. works on three different rigs.
    Any ideas or suggestions? If I must RMA than I must. But it works with the 3800+ so there has to be something firmware wise that is causing this.

  • ICloud control panel works with 1 ID but not with another

    I don't get what the issue is. I can't get the iCloud control panel to work with my itunes/iCloud ID. I am running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. I logged in with my wife's iCloud account and it worked, logged out and tried to use mine and nothing. It just sits there and the little circle next to "sign in" just spins.
    I downloaded the newest update for the control panel and tried it again. Hers works, mine doesn't. This has been going on for about a  year and is really annoying.
    It is just on the control panel, my iCloud credentials work fine everywhere else (iCloud website, here, iPhone, iPad), so I know that is not the problem.

    Here's one way to simplify some of this code. I know that this has nothing to do w/ the original question, but nevetheless, it's an itch that I feel I have to scratch...
    public class ssnBoard extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
        Runnable
        JPanel pane = new JPanel();
        JButton[] numberBtns = new JButton[10];
        Font bigFont;
        Color[] numberButtonColors =
            Color.MAGENTA, Color.red, Color.pink, Color.blue, Color.yellow,
            Color.green, Color.yellow, Color.blue, Color.pink, Color.red
        JButton clear = new JButton("CLEAR");
        JButton cancel = new JButton("CANCEL");
        JTextField RutgersIDField = new JTextField("", 6);and this
            for (int i = 1; i < numberBtns.length; i++)
                pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(i));
            pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(0));
            clear.setFont(smallFont);
            Color c10 = Color.white;
            clear.setBackground(c10);
            clear.setForeground(Color.black);
            clear.addActionListener(this); // register button
            pane.add(clear);
            clear.setFocusable(false);and of course this:
        private JButton setUpNumberBtns(int i)
            JButton myBtn = numberBtns;
    myBtn.setFont(bigFont);
    myBtn.setBackground(numberButtonColors[i]);
    myBtn.setForeground(Color.black);
    myBtn.addActionListener(this);
    myBtn.setFocusable(false);
    return myBtn;
