Camcorder connection issues (not the simple type)

Note: Also posted in OS and Hardware forums
I have a Panasonic PV-GS400 camcorder that my Mac Pro refuses to recognize. First a list of what I have confirmed.
1) There is nothing wrong with the camcorder (It will work with an iMac at my work running Leopard)
2) There is nothing wrong with the cable I am using (Connected a friend's cam corder using it)
3) There is nothing wrong with my firewire (I have a LaCie drive and have been able to interface to a different camcorder)
4) I have reinstalled quicktime w/o fixing the problem.
5) I installed my orig Tiger OS on my firewire drive and still see the same problem.
6) Both iMovieHD and FinalCut fail to recognize the camcorder.
7) All of my software and firmware is up to date.
8) I have confirmed all settings on my camcorder (It worked with another mac)
Now for the information regarding my mac:
2x3GHz Dual Core Xeon
OS X 10.4.11
Model MacPro1,1
Rom Version MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version 1.7f10 (Don't know what this is)
I appreciate any suggestions, there are only 2 things left to try (as far as I can see)
1) New OS
2) Try a Firewire 800 cable
I have searched the net quite a bit over this issue and I feel I have done my homework with no success. I have also heard some disturbing comments / BS regarding certain camcorders "just not working" with certain Mac / PCs. Is this really true?
Again thanks for any thoughts.

I thought this initially myself, but when I had the other camcorder working with my mac I went through the following steps
1) Use Canon Camorder (iMovie works, I can see the camera in the profiler)
2) Plug in the GS400 and nothing happens (Can't see it in the profiler)
3) Use Canon Camcorder again to make sure my cam is not killing the firewire and everything works as in step 1.
Thank you very much for the suggestion, I also tried a 30 min reset a couple of days ago and no difference.
Do you know if there are any firewire utilities for looking at plug in events and such?

Hi Peter!
I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
* At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
* Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
* At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

Composite key field is not a simple type or enum

According to the docs here - http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/index.html?com/sleepycat/persist/model/PrimaryKey.html - you can use "A composite key class containing one or more simple type or enum fields" as a key field. When we try that we get "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Composite key field is not a simple type or enum: Result$Key.recordId". Am I misreading the docs?
Thanks,
Trevor

@KeyField(1)

}

Hi Trevor,
You're nesting one key class inside another. All fields of a key class must be simple types or enums, which is what the exception message is trying to say. If you want all those fields in your key class, you'll have to include them in a single flattened class.
Neither nesting of key classes nor inheritance of key classes is supported. We have enhancements filed to support these in the future, but no concrete plans.

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Getting message: Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document

I am taking a CS6 Photoshop class, I downloaded the data files from cengagebrain.com, my task in the book is to click File on the Menu bar, then click Open, then navigate to the drive and folder where you store you Data Files. When I click the corresponding file (PS 1-1.psd), I get the following error message: Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document.
Can anyone help please?

Good day!
Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document.
Are you sure the file has the correct suffix?
It might have been damaged in downloading, unstuffing, copying …, so if you are certain that the site is legit you may want to try re-downloading the file.

Is there a wat to bypass a iphone 4 password lock, not the simple 4 digit passcode lock without having to resotre the iphone?

Is there a way to bypass a iPhone 4 password lock, not the simple 4 digit pass code lock without having to restore the iPhone? My friend owns her phone but upgraded to the iPhone 5s and wants to get her baby photos and videos off the old phone.
She can provide ownership of the device but is very worried that she cannot access the phone without a restore as she cannot remember her password for the old phone. Can she go into an Apple store and can they do something to bypass the password when she proves ownership the device to them?
Any help is greatly appreciated

No. They can't bypass the lock screen password. All they could do would be restore the phone, which will wipe it.

Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a picture of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

Sjazbec,
Thanks for the reply.
I did read the help and went through the tutorial - the butterfly text wrap (and the wrap around the curved contour of the bicycle wheel at the Apple store) is the reason I am asking this question. I don't know how to use one of my own pictures and tell Pages what contour to wrap around. Is there some additional image editing software that I need to "creatively crop" one of my own pictures, so that Pages will be able to wrap around that contour?
Thanks / Danke!!

"The attempt to burn a disc failed. The media is not the right type for..."

Help!! I am new to macs and have been trying to burn a cd. I have created a playlist with music from my itunes and have clicked burn disk. Every time I do so I get the following message: "The attempt to burn a disk failed. The media is not the right type for the requested operation."
Can anyone help me as I am lost!?

Toast is a high end disk burning application
Do you know how to create a new user account? Or do you have more than one user of your Mac?
You can delete iTunes from the applications folder and all the iTunes prefs from the preferences folder found at _Macintosh HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences_ You are looking for three files in that folder
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTuneshelper.plist
trash those three files and the iTunes application then empty the trash, restart and empty the trash again if needed. Then download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and install it. Then try a burn.
The above procedure should NOT delete any songs or playlists you have made.
You can get iTunes here

IChat video connection issue, not related to router

I received a brand new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo just yesterday and intended to use iChat AV to video conference with my girlfriend, who has a 12" iBook G4 1.2GHz with an iSight and all system software up-to-date.
We both have DSL connections at home. We also both have wireless routers. The very first time we tried a video conference, it worked perfectly without a hiccup and everything just looked and sounded wonderful. At the time, she was connected wirelessly and I was connected both wirelessly and through Ethernet to my router's local network.
The second time we tried it (only a few hours later), seemingly without having changed any settings, it failed to work, and hasn't worked since. At first, we would get Error -22, saying something about how bandwidth is insufficient to maintain a video conference. However, I do not believe bandwidth is the real issue since all other network/internet tasks on both ends are spiffy as usual. We also both tried turning off Airport and just connecting through Ethernet to our routers' local network. Same problem.
To then determine if the problem was with one our routers, we both set them aside and plugged our DSL modems directly into our computers and connected to the internet with PPPoE. This appears to partially fix the problem: we are able to initiate a video conference, we both have audio, I can see her, but she can't see me; sort of a one-sided conference. On my screen, the image of myself freezes as soon as the conference is initiated. So unless I'm missing something, the ultimate cause of this problem doesn't appear to be the routers.
You can bet I tried a bunch of the common tips mentioned in this discussion forum before posting this question, such as changing the iChat port in the preferences, turning off Firewalls in the Sharing preferences and changing Quicktime streaming speed.
In summary, it worked once and hasn't worked since, and routers do not appear to be the cause of the issue. Does anyone have any further advice for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

First off I want to thank James for his willingness to help me test connections today. James has suggested I check into upping my Mother's connection. I will definitely look into that.
I wanted to update the thread that I tried the three test accounts at Apple (appleu3test01-3) and had success from all three on my home computer via my wireless configuration no less. This is what stumps me about my connection issues with my Mother - we can both connect to others but between us we get error -8's since iChat 3. I also find it odd that this is happening even though we are both Earthlink customers - I would chalk it up to routing tables or something if we were on different ISP's.

JCA Binding Component connection issue in the Oracle Order Demo Application

Hi,
I setup the Oracle Fusion Middleware. I also deployed the Oracle Fusion Order Demo Application in the soa_server. I placed the order in the store front web.I initiated the webservice (OrderBookingService) and found the below error in the soa_server_diagnostic log file.
=====================================================================================================================================
Caused by: BINDING.JCA-12563
Exception occured when binding was invoked.
Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Write' failed due to: JCA Binding Component connection issue.
JCA Binding Component is unable to create an outbound JCA (CCI) connection.
OrderBookingComposite:USPSShipment [ Write_ptt::Write(body) ] : The JCA Binding Component was unable to establish an outbound JCA CCI connection due to the following issue: BINDING.JCA-12510
JCA Resource Adapter location error.
Unable to locate the JCA Resource Adapter via .jca binding file element <connection-factory/>
The JCA Binding Component is unable to startup the Resource Adapter specified in the <connection-factory/> element: location='eis/file/FODFileAdapter'.
The reason for this is most likely that either
1) the Resource Adapters RAR file has not been deployed successfully to the WebLogic Application server or
2) the '<jndi-name>' element in weblogic-ra.xml has not been set to eis/file/FODFileAdapter. In the last case you will have to add a new WebLogic JCA connection factory (deploy a RAR).
Please correct this and then restart the Application Server
The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception.
=====================================================================================================================================

Thanks Guys.
I resolved the issue.
The issue is that FileAdapter for FulFillment mediator is missing.
Solution 1:
File adapter connection factory needs to be created via the weblogic console
The details below:
     JNDI Name: eis/file/FODFileAdapter
     controlDir          java.lang.String     /tmp/control
     inboundDataSource     java.lang.String     jdbc/SOADataSource
     outboundDataSource     java.lang.String     jdbc/SOADataSource
     outboundDataSourceLocal     java.lang.String     jdbc/SOALocalTxDataSource
     outboundLockTypeForWritejava.lang.String     oracle
Solution 2:
seedFodFileAdapterResources target in $FOD_HOME/bin/common-sca-tools.xml needs to be executed to create the file adaptor.
Thanks.

Connection Issues in the Connection Manager

Good Morning Friends,
I hope i will get some answer or some directions here . I have been trying to find a solution for months. I have two servers TESTSQL(2008R2) PRODSQL(2008R2) . On these twos servers i have a package that loads data from source databases into the staging tables
in the data warehouse. The source servers were 2005. The packages were running great with no problem. They have upgraded the source servers to 2008r2 and now the package on the PRODSQL(2008R2) is not working. I'm getting the connection manager connection error.
we have checked all the possible places (like nameof the instance, firewall -- all the servers are internal servers). The package on TESTSQL is able to connect to the source servers and this is how we have been running the package for the time being. Please
see the below error. Any documentatiuon or link will be of great help.
TITLE: Connection Manager
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login timeout expired
A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information
see SQL Server Books Online.
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
BUTTONS:
OK

Hi thinkingeye,
Based on my research, this 503 error usually means that the SQL Server computer can't be found or that the TCP port number is either not known, or is not the correct port number, or is blocked by a firewall.
According to your description, it seems that the issue is caused by you cannot ping the IP Address of the source server in the command prompt window of PRODSQL server or the source SQL Server is blocked by the firewall in the PRODSQL server.
For more details about how to fix this issue, please refer to the following blog:

Connectivity issue about the screen mirroring

My Z2 phone can not connect to sink device with the screen mirroing.
I try to analayze this issue by the wireshark application.
My analysis result is as below.
The operating channel of GO Negociation Confirmation is set to 36ch or 44ch when Z2 phone is P2P GO.
In case of 36ch, P2P sequence proceeds normally.
In case of 44ch, P2P sequence does not proceed, because Beacom frame is not transmitted from Z2 phone.
Does Z2 phone have the usage restriction of 5GHz band with P2P GO ?
[Device Information]
Model number : D6503
Processor info : Qualcomm MSM8974PRO-AB
Android version : 4.4.4

Thanks for testing and glad to hear that it's working now with your Z3.
We have looked into this more and also see that you have selected Japan as country in your accont. If you are located in Japan the cause of this issue was due to regulatory issues and channel selection. There's been an update for this in the update to Android 5.0 so that wrong channel is not selected which is why you're not seeing the issue after the update.
We have also started rolling our the update for Z2 but i'm afraid i can't see when the update will reach Japan. We are currently rolling out the update for the nordics and baltics.

When I have my phone plugged in, connectivity issues on the screen

When I plug in my phone (either to charge in the wall or connected to my computer), I can't use my phone properly. When I physically touch one button on the screen, it presses another. For example, I push messages but it opens youtube, or I press notes and it opens maps. I just bought a brand new USB port, so I know that's not the problem. My guess is maybe there is just a connectivity problem with my phone and maybe I need to bring it into an apple store.
Has anyone else had this issue??

That's certainly a new one. First try resetting the phone: hold the home and power button until the Apple Logo appears (hold past the swipe to shut down bar) and see if resetting your phone solves this. If that doesn't work, try a full restore (make sure you back up the phone first). If that doesn't work, I'd make an appointment at the Genius Bar and let Apple check it out. If it's found defective, they'll replace it.

The compiler doesn't know that you're only putting Strings in as keys. HashMap takes references to Object as keys and hence returns references to Object in keySet(). Note, however, that the object itself is still what you put in there. But the compiler only has the declared return type of the method to look at.
// pre 1.5
for (Iterator iter = set.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
    String key = (String)iter.next(); // cast Object to String. Only works if you actually put a String in
    // do stuff with key
// 1.5, if you don't use generics
for (Object obj : set) {
    String key = (String)obj;
    // do stuff with key
// 1.5, with generics
Set<String> set = ...;
for (String key : set) {
    // do stuff with key
}Since you have a Map, you'll have Map<String, SomeValueType>.
