Audio problem; can't seem to control where the sound is coming from!

Good day!
I am currently trying to set up a VERY basic "two camera shoot" using my built in iSight, and a Sony DCR-TRV315 Digital-8 w/FireWire camcorder.
(I know, I know; I'm breaking all sorts of rules using such unmatched cameras. I'm a terrible videographer.)
I'm NOT capturing from tape, however. I'm just using the lens of it to get a different shot. By just plugging it in, iMovie recognizes it, just as it would a FireWire webcam, and allows me to capture straight to the hard drive.
To record audio, I'm using a Griffin iMic (USB preamp) with a Sony lavaliere mic.
I have, of course, selected the iMic as the device for sound input in Sound Preferences.
When I set the input camera to the built in iSight, the iMic kicks in and the lavaliere works like a dream. However; when I switch to the Sony camera, the iMic seems to get overridden, and the Sony camera's built-in mic kicks in! And the Sony camera isn't even IN the "choose a device for sound input" box in Sound Preferences!
Is there any way to record JUST the video from the Sony DCR-TRV315, and keep the audio coming in from the iMic? I can't seem to find an audio preference that would control this, like you'd find in Garageband for example. This is a big problem. The look of the video changes enough between shots; I can't have the sound changing with it!
Thanks for any help!

Thanks everyone.
Unfortunately, I think that M. Dubose is correct; for some reason, it doesn't want to seem to split up the FireWire input.
The real kicker is that, by using the Griffin iMic along with the built-in iSight, I'm ALREADY getting sound and video from two separate sources. It just doesn't want to let me split this FireWire signal like it will the iSight's video signal/built in microphone.
If it wasn't for this one thing, the input toggle could work quite effectively as a basic switcher. Hopefully, in future iMovie builds, the need for an independent iMovie Sound Prefs will be addressed, as that'd likely take care for this whole thing.
The other issue is that the camera I'm using isn't true DV; it's Sony's proprietary Digital 8 format, which unfortunately, ain't too hot for image quality. That's why I'm hesitant to record to the tape and import. However, the lens and the FireWire port are still very valid, so by recording directly to the hard drive, it should have been fine for my needs.
Also; the idea of THAT much precise editing in a single-channel software just makes my head spin. Switching inputs between shots would have been so much easier. Ah well. iMovie is a good program otherwise; I guess you just can't expect the world from free software, eh?
I'll probably test it with a buddy's FireWire camcorder to make absolutely sure that it isn't just some freaky incompatibility keeping me from selecting the audio in of my choice. But I can't say that I'm too optimistic.
Thanks again, everyone!

Updated my iPhone to new iOS6 and my Memory Loader app does not work! Is there a fix for the problem as it seems I am not the only one coming across this issue?

Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

Can I open my G5 to see where the squeaking is coming from?

I made an earlier post about the squeaking noise coming from my G5. Thanks to everyone who tried to help but the sound isn't an electronic squeak, its an aucostic one, such as squeaking wheel or chair. I was wondering while the computer is on, if I could take off the side panel (leaving the see through one on) to see where the noise is coming from. Can you do this or will it shut down?

This squeaking is a result of the pull out fan assembly shaking when turning. The plastic portion when the fan plugs in/pull out gets slightly shaken loose during delivery. Just shutdown you Mac, open it and pull out the fan (in front of the RAM) and then just firmly but not to hard push the fan assembly back in. Just make sure it is in there nice and good.
I had the same thing happen to me when I first got my G5. It took me couple weeks to figure out where the squeak was coming from. One more thing, just be sure to always have a can of compressed air handy because the G5 has a real good tendency to suck in dust from the room. Clean your G5 around every two months to keep it clear of dust.

How can I make rectangular speech bubbles that adapt to the text inside them without the "arrow" that points towards where the bubble is coming from getting changed?

I have to make lots of speech bubbles (150+) that all have texts inside them which differ in length. I want the speech bubbles to look the same in terms of style, but I need different sizes of course for each text. This means that the rectangular part of the speech bubble should adapt in length and width to the text inside it, while the "arrow" pointing towards where the bubble is coming from (e.g. the person who speaks) should stay the same on every bubble. So is there a way or a workaround to make such "adapting" speech bubbles?
I appreciate any kinds of help
Thanks in advance!

Here's another way I found:
1. Draw a speech bubble. Mine is a rectangle with rounded corners and a triangular pointer added with Pathfinder > Add
2. Drag out a frame the same size as the speech bubble. Select the speech bubble and Copy; then select the empty frame and choose Edit > Paste Into...
3. Alt-Drag the frame with the pasted speech bubble to make a copy, then crop one copy to leave only the top of the bubble showing, and crop the other copy to leave only the bottom.
4. Drag out a text frame and insert a table consisting of 1 column, 3 rows. Set the text frame to Autosize > Height Only.
5. Set the stroke/fill of the top and bottom rows to none, and style the middle row to match the speech bubble, (in my case a white fill and 2pt stroke; left and right).
6. Anchor (paste) a copy of the speech bubble top in the top table row, and a copy of the speech bubble bottom in the bottom row.
Getting the 3 parts to match up with is where you just have to work on it until you get it right. Use the positioning tools in Anchored Object options and the column width setting in Cell options to line everything up.
Enter your text in the middle row. (Hey, look at that...a valid application of Comic Sans!) With the Cell Height set to an "At Least" setting, the cell will expand to fit whatever text you enter, pushing the the bottom row down, with the text frame auto-sizing to keep everything in play...

How do I change images in a Business Catalyst template? I have uploaded these images and can't seem to find where the stock images are located and how to change them out.

I want to customize this template by swapping the stock images that are already in place. I have been able to upload my new images to the file that the others are stored, but I cannot find a way to implement the changes. HELP

We have an iphone and 2 ipods that all use the same icloud. How can I get it to where the messages and contacts from each device are not shared

My husband is getting all of my childrens messages on his phone. How can I change that or does he need his own apple ID? If so do we need to rest his phone to register it under him?

Yes he would need his own apple id for imessage/facetime and icloud.
In the meantime on his device go to settings - message - send&receive - remove the shared apple id.

How to find where the data is coming from in appended field for BW extract

I am not an ABAP'er ... And this problem is about a BW Extractor
I am extracting data for my (Utility Industry) Sales Statistics Cube using 0UC_SALES_STATS_01 data source. The Extract structure is BIW_ISU_ESTA and we are appending the structure with a few fields:
I_ZAHL1
I_ZAHL2
I_ZAHL3
I see some similar fields in DBERCHZ1 which are not the same. The data gets filled in the above fields somehow. I need to find out how and where. We have now diffrent variation of the same data and I'd like to extract that transactional data as well using the same fields rather than appending more fields to an already huge extract structure. When I click on the fields in BIW_ISU_ESTA, it takes me no where. I also tried out the extractor program (RSA3) in debug mode but somehow the fields are already populated. I tried using the ABAP dictinary but can't find a way to find these fields there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Bilal

Thanks Renata,
This is a standard business content extractor with the fields enhanced. Usually we have some user exits to populate the fields but in this case we only append the extract table. I couldn't see these fields being part of any existing includes in the extract struct but some how they get populated. I guess system knows from where to copy the data.
Thanks for your reply though. I am closing this thread as it seems not a very popular cube.

Apple TV quits unexpectedly and when I look at the Mac Mini where the Music is coming from, it says someone else is using the Apple TV. Any idea how this happens? All s/w is updated. Re-booted all h/w.

The Apple TV will play four or five songs from the Computer, and then stops suddenly. It's worked fine for months until a couple days ago. The message says the AirPlay/Apple TV is being used by another person. When I go down to the tiny icon in the iTunes box (lower right), it only offers Computer as option and no longer shows Apple TV as option.

Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer? My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod. I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled). Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes? seems very inflexible/inelegant...

I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5 in Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"?

I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5" I'm just used to that size. Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"? I probably won't be doing any graphics or anything like that.

It is really a matter of your personal preference. You have to choose between the extra carrying convenience of the smaller machine and the greater "real estate" of the bigger. I use a 15", and have not found it inconvenient for carrying, even on aircraft, where it has to share backpack space with an SLR camera and assorted lenses.
