Camcorder being recognized as a device instead of a camera

I am using an HD Canon Vixia HF R400 and I want to capture live footage directly into Final Cut Pro X. However when I try to import the camera, the program doesn't recognize the camera in the cameras section (i.e. where the Facetime camera is labeled), but in the devices section. I think it may be reading the SD card instead of the camera. I tried taking out the memory card, but then FCP didn't show the camera at all.
Any solutions on how to get FCP X to recognize the camcorder to shoot live footage directly into the program?
Thanks!

Do you have any suggestions/work arounds? I also tried to live film through iMovie and ran into the same problem where the camera wasn't recognized.
Any help would be appreciated.

But nothing on the pc happens excecpt Found New Hardware: MTP Device keeps popping up constantly. The computer will detect that its an mp3 player and pop up with What Do You Want Windows To Do? Sync with windows media player or Do Nothing. i click sync and windows media player opens and says theres nothing connected. I tried system restores. drivers. searching for answers. replacing the hard dri've different usb ports/cables and computers. same thing on every one.

Why is my iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes, Device Manager, or my entire computer?

I have had my iPod Touch since christmas and it is now June. The version is 4.1 and it's the one with the camera. My previous cord worked fine and I never had any problems with iTunes or my iPod before. I lost my cord for about a month (actually I have no clue how long) and my dad picked one up for me yesterday. It cam in a BELKIN package with the USB cord that plugs into a wall charger or car charger. So, I needed to upload my music and when I plugged my iPod in, I went to go sync the music, and I noticed the was no "Device" column in iTunes. So, I went into "My Computer" and didn't find it in (E:) where it always used to be. Then I searched the WHOLE computer and I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I searched for help online. Everything kept telling me to go to device manager and reinstall the device and blah blah blah. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE DEVICE MANAGER!! I couldn't find it anywhere in there! So like, is my iPod completely erased from my computer forever??? I tried restarting my iPod, my computer, and I made sure my iTunes was the lastest version. I also tried 3 different USB ports and none of them worked!      SO NOW WHAT!!?? Should I try a different USB cord?? Please help!!!
          Sincerely,
   Desparate Girl Who Loves Her iPod Dearly                      P.S. I have Windows XP.

You should get a genuine USB cord from Apple, to make sure your iPod 4G is supported correctly.
In addition to that see if Apple Mobile Device Service is still installed and active on your computer. More info in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

BB Z10 not being recognized as usb device in W8

I just upgraded to the Z10 from my 9800 and used BB Link to transfer all the details to the new phone.
I also have a new Dell AIO with w8.
After downloading all the data from the 9800 and plugged in the Z10, the Dell didn't recognise that a new usb device was plugged in and showed nothing on the system icons regarding a usb device.
I resorted to downloading it to our old W7 Dell laptop and it sync'd ok.
Is there an incompatibility with W8 and the Z10? It had no troubles seeing the 9800 when plugged into the same port.
Thanks

Hey sevilla315,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Are you currently connected via Wi-Fi on your BlackBerry Z10? Is the BlackBerry Z10 charging when you plug in the USB cord? Have you tried a different BlackBerry USB cord?
Has it ever been detected on your PC?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Phone is not being recognized as a device!

My husband and I share a apple account but when he plugs his iphone into the USB on our computer, it isn't showing up at all under devices in the Itunes program. My phone is working fine and shows up without any hassle. What should we do?

The iPhone cant transfer files using Bluetooth, What worked for me, I also have windows 7.
If the only thing that fails in the iTunes diagnostic check is the sync, and after you have saved any pictures either thru "my computer" or Bump to another iPhone, and after trying all apples suggestions, is to download iPhonebrowser
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/
Plug your phone into computer and open iPhonebrowser and delete the folder iTunes_Control
open iTunes and your phone appears again with it's name, then just resync, I tried everything and this was the only thing that got iTunes to recognise the phone again.

785GTM-E45 - Half of Memory Being Recognized

MSI 785GTM-E45
AMD Phenom II 840
4GB RAM Kingston HyperX DDR2
Basically my sticks of ram are only being recognized as 1GB sticks instead of 2 GB sticks.
- I have Windows 64 Bit
- This is occuring inside the BioS this is not a software issue
- Both sticks are 100% working condition, I have tested them in other machines
- BioS is updated at version 8.8 I believe (12-2010 version)
- I have checked and unchecked all options within the BioS I feel safe trying
- This occurs with 1 stick, or 2 sticks in the slots (I only have 2 slots) they both recognized as 1GB each.
- I have made sure my RAM is indeed 2GB sticks
- I have reseated my RAM multiple times
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Even a arrow to a sticky post.
Thank you.

maybe your cpu is damaged? have you tried with another one?
or with different memory sticks eventually?

Sony sd-card read as device instead as camera

Hi, I bought a Sony HDR-PJ320E camera because of it's compatibility with imovie and fcpx.
But for some reason fcpx doens't read the private file anymore after formatting the disk.
Fcpx read the sd card as a device instead of a camera.
I think that the problem started after I reformated the sd-card in the camera to empty it.
Anyone knows about this problem.
And how can I recuperate my movie files?
Thankt a lot for helping me.
Filip Langenbick
Screenshot in FCP:

Thanks Karsten,
I'm working FCP 10.0.7
I understand what you talking about. But no way to read the SD card like the way you explain.
I'll show you 2 examples.
Card 1// 4G SD card
Card 2// 32SD card (formated the same way)
This is what I get in FCP
Card 1// Everything works fine - read as CAMERA
Card 2// Card is read as device and show content instead of movie files
I'm getting nuts about it.
Ithinks I will convert the .MTS files by Handbrake and Compressor into ProRes files.
Hope there will not be to many quality loss.
Any thanks a lot for your help,
Filip

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

My devices aren't being recognized by iTunes when I plug them in, so I can no longer sync. I used to be able to. I'm using Windows 7.
