All kinds of problems after new 808 video camera.

Lots of new minor (so far) problems have cropped up lately. iCal sometimes does not notify me of events. These are regularly scheduled events (like bill payments) that have been working for years. This has cost me a couple of late payment charges so far. If I open iCal to investigate, the notices are on the iCal page, and if I close iCal, they are not there when I open iCal again. Normally, they don't disappear unless I click on the little X. I tried to register about 5 times for a Photobucket account by filling out the fields on the registration page. One of 3 things happened when I clicked on "continue" at the bottom; it erased all of the fields that I filled in, Safari closed, or it told me that the format for the user i.d. was wrong. It didn't tell me what the format was so I clicked on "help", and then it told me that I should be using a computer to register. I guess it thought I was on a smart phone or something. I was on a another website and I tried to get some information that required me to input my zip code. When I typed the first digit, it appeared in the leftmost position of the zip code field. When I typed the second digit, it replaced the first digit (ie, it appeared in the leftmost digit position). When I typed the third digit, it replaced the first digit. I tried entering the entire zip code and clicking on "enter", in hope that was receiving my zip code even though it was not being displayed, but it did not work. Sometimes, when I am typing in a password or other field, the characters don't appear for a few seconds. I will be typing and watching the field and the characters will stop appearing. I will think that I didn't press the key down far enough, and I will type it again and nothing will appear, and type it again and then 3 of that character will appear.
These problems seem to have started about the time I started using a tiny, cheap Chinese video camera. When I downloaded a video from the camera, it took about 4 times as long to download it as the length of the video (12 minutes to download a 3 minute video). I downloaded about 40 minutes of video, watched them on iMovie, then deleted them. Could the camera have been shipped with a virus in it? Is there anything else that could cause all these problems?

"Could the camera have been shipped with a virus in it?"
It's possible but it would not have affected your Mac because _*there are no OS X viruses.*_
Have you tried another browser? Tried any basic troubleshooting?
Boot up from your install DVD and run *"Repair Disk"* from the Utility menu.
If you installed anything onto your computer from the camera, uninstall it.
Any issues you have regarding Safari and/or iCal post in their respective forums where those users hang out at:

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.

  • Safari problem after viewing youtube video

    I've been having a problem with Safari after following links from Facebook to youtube videos. After viewing the video and returning to Safari I only see the address bar. If I minimise the Safari window I get a screen that's 90-95% white with just the top edge of the minimised windows showing. My only workaround is to kill Safari and reload.
    Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution to it? I'm wondering if it's a memory related issue.

    I have occasional safari-memory issues where I have to kill the background apps and safari to get full function back.
    I either:
    1) kill all apps and reset the ipad with home/power reset.
    2) Kill all apps and run "System Activity Monitor"
    The second option I started doing last week and so far, it seems to work OK.
    Mine is an iPad-1.....

  • After update my video camera stopped working.  How can I fix this?

    After I updated my phone my video camera is no longer working.  I try to change from picture to video on the select but nothing happens.  Although the camera/picture still works.  I'm able to take pictures just fine.

    Restart Mac and try again.  If you are still having trouble, see Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Resource Info for new Digital Video Camera.

    Hello.
    Can anyone suggest a good resouce/magazine/website to research digital video cameras?
    I have used the same Sony DCR TRV120 for the past nine years. It ran out of steam. Mostly used it for family, nature and even spots for a local hokie TV station. Time for a new camera to use with FCE. And I have no clue where to begin researching.
    Thank you.

    Well l will ask this another way.
    I'm in the market for a prosumer camera.
    I want to video both SD (NTSC) and HDV.
    If I went with a camera that _did not record_ in NTSC but rather 1080i or whatever, would it be possible to convert the video to NTSC in FCE? I do lots of family videos etc. Not everyone has an HDTV & widescreen at this time.

  • Intermittant problems recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing

    When filming live, I have an intermittant problem with PPro 6 recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing.  I hit the G (for start recording) and something it goes live and sometime the capture window goes to digital mess. I am using the "no" device control preference setting as I was told to by the Sony customer care tech.

  • Gurus: please help me choose my new HD Video camera

    Esteemed Video Gurus:
    Currently I am an intermediate level Adobe Premiere Pro user. As my video editing projects grow more complex and my skills grow, my 8-year-old SD Video camera is just not acceptable anymore.
    I would like to upgrade to my first HD Video Camera. Can anyone suggest a camera based on my needs?
    *I need professional grade "starter” HD Video camera (<= $800 dollars)
    * I prefer extra features that I may need as more proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite applications.
    *I was a professional photographer (when they used film) so I prefer to have manual control to focus, set exposure, use spot metering, and other settings that are adjustable, rather that auto.
    *I primarily shoot inside "green screen" studio videos of subjects using a tripod and lighting. However, I also would like a camera that I can take with me anywhere, that would quickly stat for spur of the moment videos in public.
    *I would want enough storage to shoot 2-4 hours of HD video.
    *I know that I would like to have a long battery life.
    *An Image Stabilizer is important to me.
    *I would like to be able to burn blue ray in the future.
    *again I can afford a camera (<= $800 dollars)
    Thanks for your time. Any advice is appreciated.
    Respectfully
    Bryan Edmondson

    [Moved to the Lounge.]
    You're asking a lot for $800.
    As you were a photographer, and might still have lenses around, you could look into the Panasonic GH2.  New, they went for around $600 to $700 for the body.  But there is a new model out which now runs about $1,200 for the body, so you may have to look into a used one if you don't want to up the price.
    The genius of the GH2 is that some Russian figured out how to hack the firmware and adjust things inside the camera.  As a result, and with the right hack, I'd argue that the GH2 can produce an image equal and most often superior to any other camera costing less than $5,000.  (And even for cameras costing more, it can sometimes hold its own.)
    So, with the GH2 you have "Professional" grade.  (The following film was shot with the GH2.  http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Upstream_Color/70265224)  You have your manual controls, small enough to take anywhere, OIS available on many lenses, and it produces an excellent Blu-ray image.
    The down sides are that the improved image quality definitely eats up storage space.  With what I consider the current best patch, you're looking at maybe two hours recording on a 128 GB card.  However, there are many patches available and quite a few will allow you to reach the desired 4 hour length with image quality still vastly improved over the original.  The other down side is battery life.  You'll need more than one for a full day.  You might get 2 to 3 hours out of a battery, so travel with several.
    In your price range, I think that is definitely your best option.  You won't get a better image at that price.  Although you might be able to beat it for a little bit more when the $1,000 Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera comes out in July, though it will likely have it's own issues that may not work for you.  (You'll be hard pressed to get an hour of recording on a 128GB card at best quality.)

    Hi willibphx,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not already, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

  • My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

    Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast.   I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

  • My 3-year-old Macbook is suddenly having all kinds of problems.

    Symptoms, all within a few weeks with no warning: First iTunes got corrupted. Then lots of 'corrupt file' error message with Word (seems to be xlsx files). Then Entourage started crashing repeatedly and hanging up. The fan started coming on a lot.
    What I've done: Visited the genius bar. Scanned the disks--no problems there. Installed and ran iAntivirus--no problems there. Did a clean install of OS X. Did a few one-off solutions that I found on other forms to address fan and Entourage database problem.
    Result: Even after the reinstall, I am still getting corrupt Word files. Fan still comes on more than it should.

  • Network problem after new OSX update download

    Greetings!
    I've had a new (late 06) Intel 24" iMac networked wirelessly to my older iMac/cable modem/D-Link router very successfully since October. No problems and seamless set-up through the D-Link online wizard software.
    Saturday I noticed an OSX upgrade to 10.4.8 (211mg) and went ahead and did the download on the wireless (Intel) iMac.
    Upon restart, however, I have not been able to reconnect to my network. Airport is ON, but choosing my network name returns an error message. I have also attempted to reboot both cable modem and router, and reentered the D-Link wizard to both doublecheck the old network, and set up a new network, but saving these settings seems to fail by not recognizing the device, the router.
    One of the error messages (on the wireless iMac) claims that my "settings have been changed by another application" (or to that effect) but does not give any clue as to how to determine what or where.
    Also, since attempting to start from scrtch with the router, I no longer seem to get a full signal from the airport -- in Internet Connect, I no longer see a nice row of blue signal lights.
    As you may be able to tell, I am new to networking, and the D-Link setup had helped make it simple -- tht is, I bumbled my way through it and was pleased with how well it worked. Now, after the OS update, not having the network is annoying -- and potentilly disastrous, as I need this machine online by Saturday.
    Anyone able to give me a gentle hand, or nudge in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!
    Bill
    PS- Mac user since 1991! Wireless network user since only late October!

    Hi again,
    Sorry, BDAqua, I didn't see your note. I don't quite understand the last line of your suggestion -- a number greater than the number of CPUs? Not sure what you mean...
    Phil, thanks for your note, too.
    I believe the answer to your first question is 802.11g -- this is what it was set to.
    After trying again to connect, using my old passwords, I was able to see the blue signal strength barss, and the Airport icon flashed on and off a few times, but ultimately the connection attempt failed again every time I tried it.
    At this point, I'm no longer confident that my router is sending out a recognizable signal -- is this possible?
    Also, in the dialog box in which available networks are usually shown (which has not happened since my original connection in October), today I was faced with a choice I hadn't seen before: 2WIRE736 -- is this likely to be someone else's network (a neighbor's)? I was wondering -- I'd never seen that one before. However, my own network names do not show up for choosing, and when I use Internet Connect to request them (and add WPA Personal and passwords), the connection appears to fail immediately.
    At this point, should I attempt an OSX reinstall? Or has something I described made some sense for you?
    Again, still very appreciative of all your help and patience with my ignorance.

  • Macbook 2.0 intel core duo ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS HELP PLS

    This all started last week. In an effort to be more economical, I decided to keep my macbook and not get a new one. The battery was not doing well...so i bought a new one. I purchased Leopard and tried to install it...it installed but after it just stayed stuck on the gray apple screen. I tried troubleshooting. I reinstalled Tiger that came with it and it had the same problems. Anyways...a couple days ago I tried to reinstall Tiger again and it started working. I have been having problems with the rainbow wheel coming up all the time...so I figured maybe the ram is bad. I ordered new ram from crucial. I got it today and installed it and now the macbook will not even power up. I followed the troubleshoot guidelines and even installed the old ram again nothing.
    So, I'm stuck. Is the logic board again? I had it replaced like 7 months after getting the macbook and now it is out of warranty. Please help. Thanks

    Martin,
    Since you say it worked to some degree but then not at all after installing new RAM and then after reinstalling the old RAM it would not even work as well as it had prior to the RAM installs, then it sounds like one possibility could be that the logic board is failing do to cracked circuit traces (caused by thermal cycling) and the removing and reinstalling the RAM exacerbated the problem.
    The next thing I would try to do would be to cool down the computer to 50F or so and try it. Next try heating it up to 90F or so and try again. The temperature changes can affect a defective logic board. Not that this will solve your problem, but it can tend to validate the possibility of a defective board.
