Trouble exporting to camera! Need help please

Hi all, Hope u can help. Only recently has imovies not allowed me to export movies to my camera. The message appears:- "imovie lost connection to the video camera. Please check and try again."
I have checked firewire which is installed correctly- i know this as i can import stuff fine.
Only thing i can think of is that i recently installed a lassi hard drive to back up movies- this also uses a firewire cable-At the same time i had extra memory installed, could this be the problem? If so how do i fix it! or could it be something else? Yours hopefully nicola

Hello Nicola:

You must be sure your hard drive is formatted for the mac. Look at this:

Hi Leighman,

Question about photo shop, need help

    I downloaded a version of photoshop a friend recommended because I was looking for a free photoshop to use... So I downloaded it, and when I opened it, here is the response I got:
    "This program may not have installed correctly. If this program didn't install correctly, try reinstalling using settings that are compatible with this version of windows."
    I am using a windows 7 computer. Here is a link to the photoshop the dude sent me:
    I really want to figure out how to get this to work, I am terrible with computers and I don't even know if it is gonna show the link to the photoshop I had downloaded here on this post, but, I wanna figure out how to get this to work so I can go about creating my own mugen video game (I wanna learn mugen).. But first I need to figure out how to get photoshop to work, I am not very good with computers. Does anyone have any idea why I "may not have installed it correctly?
      I will attempt to type in the url to my photoshop download manually here,
          <link removed>
       If the first link doesn't show the photoshop I downloaded, hopefully the 2nd one where I typed it in manually will work... Does anyone have any idea why it's doing this or what I can do to get it to work?

Bravo to you for seeing the light that if you want to play you have to pay.
The best place to buy Photoshop is directly from Adobe.
Brace yourself: The full version of Photoshop is amongst the most expensive software out there.
You might want to look into buying Photoshop Elements. It does most of what the full version of Photoshop does and it won't break the bank.
And stay off eBay for buying Photoshop. The "too-good-to-be-true prices" you sometimes see are scams, and you'll likely get ripped-off.
For what it's worth, I don't know of too many programs that charge as subscriptions. Of course, if you consider that every few years new versions are released that require paying for the upgrade, that's not too different. But if you don't upgrade you can keep using the version you have for no additional cost.

Camera guy needs help with his first build

Hello all-
I work in a video rental house, and I'm sick of renting out $13,000 cameras and $16,000 lens packages all the time and not having the capability to get the gear for free and make my own projects on my own time! To that end, I'll happily trade any video camera / production knowledge for advice on this build I'm working on.
I’ve put together this modest $3,000 build list for a Premiere CS5 / After Effects CS5 machine. This will be my first build, so I’m somewhat new to this, and I’d like to solicit the board’s input on the following questions:
1)      What do you think of my MOBO / CPU / RAM pairings? I’m not really married to any of these components, and if I should swap any one of these out for overall performance increases, I’d be happy to.
2)      How does my drive setup look? Have I picked any clunkers?
3)      I’d love to hear any alternate suggestions for 20inch or so monitors in the $150 range, or quality desktop speakers in the $100 range.
DISK SETUP- $640
            System / Boot disk – 600 GB Western Digital Velociraptor / SATA 6.0 / 10,000 RPM
            Project / Media disk – (2) x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3R / RAID 0 / SATA 3.0 / 7,200 RPM
            Render / Scratch disk – (4) x 500GB Western Digital Caviar blue / RAID 0 / SATA 3.0 / 7,200 RPM
(MOBO raid only- No hardware RAID card – not in my budget right now)
GUTS- $1,137
            CPU- i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06 GHz / Noctura NH-D14 CPU cooler
            GPU- Galaxy NVDIA GTX470 1.28 GB
            RAM- 24GB (6 x 4GB) G.SKILL Ripjaw DDR3 1333 / 9-9-9-24
            MOBO – ASUS Rampage III 1366 pin X58
CASE / POWER - $595
            Case - Silverstone RV02B-W
            PSU – ABS MJ1100-M / 1100 Watt / Single 12v rail
            UPS – Powercom KIN- 2200AP / 2200 VA / 1320 Watts
HUMAN I/O – $485
            Speakers- Behringer MS16
            Mouse – Kensington Expert Trackball
            Keyboard – Logitech Wireless K340
            Monitors – (2) x Acer G235HAbd 23” / 1920x1080 / 20” or larger / around $150
Thanks for any input.
-Leo

Leo,
Nice system specification! Like Harm, I don't have much to suggest - only a comment on the keyboard!
I personally went with the Logitech K800, which is also wireless, after comparing it with the K340 in a store that had both on display. I preferred the feel of this more expensive model and am still very happy with the purchase 6 months later. The K800 also adds backlighting which I love for editing in a dimly lit room.

My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I need help! when I am importing my NEF files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support"

I need help! when I am importing my NEF Raw files from my D3300 camera into lightroom 5 and try to use the "copy as DNG" button I always get an error message saying that "saying the file is not recognized by the raw format support". The whole purpose of that button is so that the file can be recognized... How can I make the "copy as DNG" button work as it is supposed too?? Thank you

Thank you for responding. So I essentially will never be able to use that button in lightroom 5? do I need to get LR 6? Will there ever be an update for LR 5 that will enable me to use it?
Does DNG Converter work within LR or do I have to upload pictures to my computer and then make a second copy in DNG format. and then go into LR and use them?
Thank you @dj_paige

NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets.
It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings...
When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles.
I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one.
I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder.
I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where.
I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS 10.7.3
Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?
Thanks for your help

Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
Perhaps this answers question.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

Need Help With Older Creative PC-Cam 600

I have a PC-Cam 600 and I really like this digital and web cam. I can not find it on the products menu. I need help in finding a part for my cam . Anyone else have one of these ? It is about 4 or 5 years old.

Jade,
Wow, that's a very old soundcard. It should be an OEM Sound Blaster 6 Value soundcard according to the model number.
You can try downloading and user guide for that soundcard and see if the information you need is there.

Need Help, i have an Ipad2 after 6.3.1 update, i have no cameras, or e-mail, I already reset, multiple times, but no improvment, can anyone help?

When you say reset, do you mean a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if it appears?

Need help - N9 camera does not respond

The Nokia N9 does not alow taking photogrpahs indicatng that "Can't use the camera while you are connected to your computer". I have disconnected the usb cable from the computer using the normal procedures. Need help to get this corrected.

Hi, Buddhimarambe. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! Have you tried to reboot the phone? Press and hold the power key for at least 8 seconds. To switch your phone on again, press and hold the power key. If the issue remains, you can try to restore the phone's default settings:
1. End all active calls and connections.
2. Select settings icon and Reset > Restore settings.
Note: After restoring the original settings, the phone switches off, and then on again. This may take longer than usual. Also, this will not affect your personal data. Let us know the outcome.

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

Need help finding a driver for my hp webcam . My computer say I dont have a camera but I do.

Need help finding my camera[webcam] on my computor.

Can you provide us with your computer model number? Take a look in Device Manager to see if there is an Imaging Devices group that includes the webcam. If not, is there an Unknown Device listed? This would indicate that your webcam is detected, but there is no driver installed. We can help you find the correct driver if that is the case. Let's start with the computer model number. Thanks.

I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!! Camera Photos vs. downloads etc plus hardrive help

Hello! I am a student and need some help. I really don't understand computers at all, so my probelms are probably the most basic answers. Anyways here's the latest and greatest:
1.I have a fujifilm finepix camera that has been doing fine loading pictures onto iphoto, until recently my friend has been using the same memory card and loading it onto his laptop which is windows. I have tried taking out the mem. card and just using the basic 4 pictures on the camera and my laptop won't recognize the camera anymore. HELP I am an art student and need the photos ASAP!!
2. Another one of my buddies used my laptop and downloaded a bunch of things i don't want on my computer, so I can't find my "downloads" file, if there is one, but supposedly he cleared all of the files, does that mean they're still there? Because a bunch of my hard drive is used and I need the space.
3. Because the downloads he used and probably all my photos the hard drive is on it's last leg. I have kept up with the updates for the computer but when ever I update it, the memory goes down even further, It says right now: 148.73 GB.... .09 GB free, i don't even understand that. Ughh but those numbers have always been fluctuating and I don't understand why, but I don't know what to do. I want the downloads gone and my photos, and more space . If anyone could pleeeeeeaaaaseeee help me I would greatly appreciate and honor them!!!!

1. Get back the memory card or get a new one.
2. You've got some great buddies. You're going to have to confront him and find out what and where the files are if they are still there.
3. Don't confuse memory with hard drive space. You are going to have to get rid of files that have been put there by yourself and your buddies. You need to maintain at least 10-15% free hard drive space for the OS to work properly. BTW, do you ever empty the Trash?
4. I know you had 3 questions but I wanted to add my 2 cents. Don't let your buddies fool with your Mac anymore. They are causing you problems. Let them get their own.
