Any results with Leopard (10.5.7) and camcorder DV firewire connection?

Hello all,
Issue:
My Panasonic pv-gs150 (SD MiniDV Camcorder) connected to my MBP via firewire is not recognized by system profiler (red warning). In turn, FCE4 and iMovie 09 are unresponsive to the camcorder once attached.
Thus far I've isolated that it is NOT
The camcorder (captured for years on iMovie 06 on my Tiger ibook)
The firewire cable (swapped out twice)
The firewire port on MBP (External HD via Time Machine is recognized and works)
Anything else I should try??
I understand the typical responses to camcorder forum questions from countless searches. (firewire not USB, VCR mode, proper steps to capture) But have seen that Leopard seems to be culprit to many Mac users with DV camcorders.
I've read that v10.5.2 was good to go with no DV issues or there was a patch or some sort of work around. But all my leads are drying up here. I can't find a clear response anywhere. Or am I losing my mind on this one...?
Thanks for helping!

Hi
I have exactly the same problem on my brand new iMac.My Sony DCR-HC19SE DV camcorder does not work at all: not listed on System Profiler which gives WARNING Firewire devices cannot be listed. iMovie 08 does not see it either. There was no problem using Tiger on a G4 PPC: the Sony was seen by all relevant software (Toast, HyperEngine AV,) and Profiler.
Is this progress a la Apple??
Please help, I am stuck. Already done reset of Firewire bus, vram reset,etc. as recommended on another forum: no success.
This is very frustrating and Apple seems to have a problem in Leopard 10.5.7 with firewire according to other forums.
Hope somebody at Apple can give a solution to this one!!!
Frustrated because Apple was believed to be better than others!!!
MAYBE I REVERT TO LINUX OR TIGER???

    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.

  • Need help with Leopard: screen saver glitch and very slow internet

    I performed an erase and install leopard 10.5.1 on my upgraded G4 AGP Sawtooth Computer several times. Has anyone had the following 2 problems with leopard and any suggestions to solve them? Apple telephone support has not helped thus far. The Issues include:
    1-Internet surfing (Safari and Firefox) is extremely slow worse than dial-up. I have verizon fios. Upgrading leopard to 10.5.3 and upgrading Safari did not help and took about 10 hours to download when it should have been quick.
    2- A screen saver glitch: When I click on screen saver such as beach I get this message. " Screen saver "beach" did not load properly. Error Can't load bundle" When I click on the screen savers folder, there is nothing in it. Desktop pictures work fine.
    Computer upgrades include:
    Processor-OWC Mercury Extreme [email protected] 2MB L3 Cache
    2GB memory
    Two 120GB hardrives.
    Firmware is updated.
    Thus far, all this was done:
    Apple exchanged install disk. Same results with new disk.
    I ran disk utility and everything is ok including permissions.
    I performed a safe boot with apple support.
    I Threw away cache folder and com.apple.safari.plist
    Tried firefox with same very slow surfing results.
    I even checked file system structure problem fsck -yf. Everything was ok
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Althought the behavior is the same in all three accounts, if all are working accounts I would suspect there is something all of them have installed that could be the source of the problem. Try creating a new admin account, and leave it just the way Apple creates it--don't add anything nor modify it in any way. Log into that account and see if it works correctly.
    If that account is also misbehaving, try restarting, and when you hear the chime hold down the Shift key so that you boot into Safe Mode (you'll see a notice in the splash screen about being in Safe Mode). The boot will take longer (perhaps even considerably longer) as the system runs disk repair, empties some caches, disables all third party startup items, as well as all Apple startup items not strictly necessary for the machine to run. See the menus and Dock now behave correctly.
    Since the problem is evidently somewhat intermittent in nature it may take some patience to discover what is wrong. You might also disconnect everything that didn't come with the Mac, reboot, and use only the Apple keyboard and Apple mouse and run for a bit to see how that works. If you are using a third party mouse that required installing something that would be my guess as a "prime suspect" for the cause of the problems.

  • Graphics Problems with Leopard, ATI X800 XT, and Power Mac G5

    I just upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 with an ATI X 800 XT graphics card installed, and a Dell 24" monitor running at 1900x1200 resolution. After about 5-15 minutes, the screen starts shimmering with these green lines everywhere. It keeps getting worse to the point where I can't see anything and have reboot. Then, it starts all over again after another 5-15 minutes. The only way to solve this problem is to turn down the resolution to 1360x768. My fan is also running at max speed constantly since I've upgraded. I was hoping that 10.5.1 update would fix it, but it hasn't.
    I've spent the last hour reading posts on this forum related to my problem to see if there is a solution, and as far as I can tell there isn't one. Is there something I missed for fixing the display and fan problems? Is there any hope that 10.5.2 will fix this? I've never had problems like this with any of the other OSX upgrades. I'm basically forced to go back to Tiger for now until this problem is solved. I can't believe ATI hasn't updated their drivers for my card since 2005!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Masai,
    It sounds like a problem I had when I first got a new ATI X800 XT last October. When I first installed the card, there were what looked like florescent green symbols all over the screen which would get worse if I moved a window around. I ended up returning the card to ATI and exchanging it for a new one.
    If you could post a screen shot, I could confirm the similarities in our problems. My problem was caused, I think, by the card overheating . . . which was the result, I speculate, of a disconnect between the X800's memory chips and heat sink.
    I got a second card, and it's been working perfectly with Leopard. In my case, the card itself was the problem and not Leopard and/or graphics drivers.
    Hopefully that's not the case with your situation. Did the card work okay under Tiger or whatever your previous OS was?

  • Filter item limits - search not returning any results with large number of elements otherwise ok

    Hi,
    We are working through a problem we've encountered with Azure Search. We are building a filter string based on an "id eq 'xxx' or id eq 'ccc' or id eq 'vvv' etc. The id's are provided in a collection and we loop through, building the string until it's
    ready to apply.
    We are using 2015-02-28 preview at the moment.
    We are encountering a situation where, after approximately 20 id's Azure Search doesn't return any results, nor does it appear to return any error code. I'm pretty sure that the url length is less than 8K.
    Is there any limit on the number of filter elements in a query?

    We followed up offline.
    The symptom in this case was a 200 response with no body. The underlying cause is a URL parsing bug that tries to interpret colons in the query string as the delimiter of a URL scheme (like https:), but with a hard length limit of 1KB. We will work
    on a fix for both the underlying URL parsing issue and the issue that caused it to surface as a body-less 200.
    In the meantime, the workaround is to put colons as close to the beginning of the URL query string as possible. Specifically, putting $filter and facets first, and putting expressions with colons within those first, will mitigate this in most cases.
    Note that the .NET SDK puts $filter and facets near the beginning of the query string by default, so if you're consuming Azure Search you might want to give it a try:

  • Web Sharing with Leopard 10.5.2 and Airport Extreme Base Station HELP!!!

    Ok...I want to set up web sharing on my computer but so far my attempts have failed.
    I have an intel iMac with Leopard 10.5.2 installed and I have the latest Airport extreme base station (With draft n).
    I turn on web sharing, and of course it works locally but not when trying to be accessed over the internet.
    Now I realize that by default my routers address wont let anyone connect to my computer over the internet.
    My router has an ip of 10.0.1.1, and I assigned my computer a static ip address of 10.0.1.200.
    Now in the network preferences pane and the airport category, i set my computers IP (the 10.0.1.200), I put the gateway as 255.255.255.0, the router as 10.0.1.1 and the DNS as 10.0.1.1
    Now going over to the airport utility I added a new entry in the port mapping section, with port 80 (both public and private) and the IP of my machine, 10.0.1.200.
    Now in theory this should work but NOOOOO.
    Does anyone have the same setup? a wireless network with the new airport extreme base station and has successfully configured Web Sharing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Felipe

    Well here is an update.
    I saw an entry in apple support that said I had to change some setting in the apache folder /etc/apache2 in order to avoid getting the 403 forbidden error. I tried this and it did not work, i checked my user configuration file as well and the path to my home site directory was correct
    Anyone here have a similar setup and has it working? It shouldnt be too hard to set up web sharing through a router. It has to be possible or else a lot of people would not buy a router because of this.
    thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help
    Bye.

  • Any issues with having Personalization in Dev and not Production

    Hi, I'm wondering if there are any issues with having Personalization configured in our Dev and not Production?  If you run a create a query or Web Template in Dev with personalization and transport it to production which doesn't have personalization will that be a problem?
    Anyone?

    It should not be a problem.
    Personalization just saves values for a variable in an ODS on the current server. The values don't get saved along with the query, they just reference the query ID (if saved for the query only).
    Hope this helps...

  • Any luck with Sigma X3F raw files and 1.1?

    I am still waiting to switch to Aperture as 1.0 did not support the Sigma SD-10/SD-9 raw files (.X3F).
    Any luck with the latest 1.1 version? It is great that Apple revised the price on it but I still have to wait for X3F support because my camera only shoots in RAW. Converting may not be worth the effort and extra time...

    Nope, no X3F support yet.
    You can still use the program pretty well just by exporting 16-bit TIFF files from PhtooPro, just export in batch with corrections set to auto.

  • Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

    We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
    I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
    again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
    I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

  • Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

    iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.
