Can't capture anymore

I just finished a project. I saved It on an external drive, and erase everything related to this project from FCE folder and the library .
I was ready to capture from my camera datas for my next project.
When I open FCE, the loading of the program stops on the logo of FCE and I get a message:
Unable to locate the following devices" fire wire NTSC 720x480.
Yr system conf.may have changed or yr deck/camera may be disconnected or turned off.
Pls. check yr connections and check again, or click continue to set external device to None"
I have 2 options Check again or Continue .Clicking on Check again doesn't do anything
My connection is good ( I just bought a new cable,just in case!! and i can load datas on I-movie with the same camera and connection)
If I click continue FCE opens and then I go to capture the program FCE just closed and disappeared from the monitor.
If I click on "Easy settings" I get the first pop-up window and if I click " set up" i get again the message " unable to locate...."
I am using a I-mac G4 ,Os X 10.3.9., FCE 2.0.3, sony VX 2100
Since last I captured from my camera I have added a web cam to my system.( I obviously tried to disconnect it...)
Any suggestion on what I can try will be vvvvvvvvvery mmmmuch appreciated.

i mac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't think it's the cable because I can load from the same camera and the same tape onto I-movie, don't you think so?.
nothing else than the camera is hooked right now to the computer except for the key board and the mouse as you told me to do.( and the cable for the web connection)Thks Guyv

Can't capture anymore.. please help!

hi,
i've been using mdt 2010 in the last 4ish years to deploy several hundreds of machines. now due to some mysterious reason, capturing doesn't work anymore. the visible symptom is a error message containing something about the clonetag registry entry not being
writeable. i hacked around this by regedit'ing the clonetag value back in, but the result was an image that doesn't join the domain. i also deactivated the "inject mass storage driver" step and the wmp net service, but no luck.
i don't know why sysprep fails all of a sudden. all i did was update the image with a few software installations and updates. when i try to sysprep without saving the image to the mdt deployment share, it reports that it completed successfully. if i save the
image, it reboots and continues with the deployment task. which fails with the clonetag error. i've tried it with and without installing the latest windows updates. the image size is around 10 gigs, free space on the ds is around 40 gigs. after an unsuccessful
capture attempt, the local admin account is locked and the hidden system partition has a drive letter.
please help me find the error..
my logs are here (hopefully)
thanks,

Cant capture anymore

I created a FCP project for capturing a new tape using capture now (shot with my Somy Vx2000 in 16/9 (yes, I know many people dont like to cature using capture now, but it is a for a very simple job and always find it convenienct for qick jobs).
Unfortunately I forgot to set up the right capture settings to make it DV NTSC 48 KHz Anamorphic. It was just DV NTSC 49 KHz. After realising it, I closed FCP and erased through the Finder window the project from my FCP Project Directory as well as in the capture Scratch sub-directories.
I reopened FCP and corrected the audio/video settings to make the capture in DV Anamorphic.
I started to capture the tape, still using Capture Now, but after 4-5 seconds it stopped and I got the message : "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This cold be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved".
I tried to create a new project name, and it did not solve the problem. I tried another tape, I tried to reboot the MacPtro, but I still have this problem and cant capture anymore.
Can someone help finding the source of the problem and how to solve it ?

Before playing around with the Power management Unit as you suggested after, I tested your idea of capturing as non anamorphic. And it worked !! But when I come back to the DV NTSC Anamorphic, the problems comes back.
You are right, we can turn on the anamorphic checkbox in the Browser, but the canvas windows looks funny. It is still shaped 4/3 but the image shows 16/9 with black strips on top and botton and exceeds the limits in the right and left sides.
But knowing that, how can I make my traditional settings work again (choosing in my audio/video settings both my sequence preset and my capture preset to be DV NTSC 48 KHz Anamorphic ?

Can not capture from Sony HDV 1080i (recording in 60i)

Hello
We are trying to capture from the above camera to a Mac Dual G5. We are using FinalCutPro 5.1.2. We are using a FireWire 400 cable to connect to the front of the computer (have also tryed back of Cinema Display). The footage was captured in HDV1080/60i, and we have tried the corresponding formats in Easy Setup (Basic, standard, Apple Intermediate).
The problem: we can control the camera from the Log and Capture windows, but when starting capture, no data is coming in, and the program therefor gives up after a few seconds (displaying a no data error message).
We have tried Batch and Now capture. We can log clips, and get the correct time code, but can not capture those clips due to the no data problem.

This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
Let us know how you get on!

Can't capture video using iSight camera in QuickTime 7.4 (92)

OK, I see that there are plenty of "bugs" with Quicktime Version 7.4 (92), but I don't see the problem I am having, posted anywhere. Here goes...
I cannot capture video using my [Firewire] iSight camera on my CoreDuo MacMini. I definitely used to be able to do this. When I go to File>New Movie Recording, I get a back/blank Movie Recording window and that's it. I click on the Red/Record button and nothing happens. The timer doesn't even advance. Just sits there. When I try to stop the recording, I get the following message:
*"Recording failed because no data was received.*
*Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing."*
I can still capture audio, although had some problems and had to "downgrade" to version 7.3.x and subsequently reinstalled 7.4. Now the audio works but still no video.
A few things:
1. YES, the iSight camera works - I can use it in iMovie, iChat, Photobooth, etc. - for both video and audio.
2. As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video.
3. I re-installed Version 7.4 and the audio problems cleared up, but again, still unable to capture video.
3. All software updates installed.
Any ideas???
Thanks!

See QuickTimeKirk’s posting in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1357579&tstart=0
Try the following:
Trash com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
It's located in your account:
HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
Delete the file, restart (a new .plist will be created) and quicktime hopefully will work again w/o doing an Archive & Install.
+If you want to do an A&I:+
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
Good luck!

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

HT4314 Can't see anymore which games my friends are playing, always NONE PLAYED on iPad, wrong/old games on iPhone.

Since about a month I can't see anymore which games my friends are playing.
On the new iPad it always display: last game played, none.
On iPhone it shows wrong games for many.
On both the timeline is correct tough.
I thought it was a temporary thing but now it's more than a month and it's really annoying.
Any clue?
Thanks.

After downloading IO6, can't capture photos from Facebook. I get "save photo" instead of "save image". While browsing, save image comes up and photos save to camera roll. Seems to be a problem only on FB.

Downloaded IO6 on my iPhone 4s. Now I can't capture a photo off Facebook to the camera roll. When I try, I get a "Save Photo" tab rather than a "Save Image" button, The photo does not save to camera roll. For email images and Safari images, "save image" comes up and save to camera roll. Seems only a problem with images on FB. Any ideas? Thanks

You launched iPhoto and from its Preferences you selected Connecting camera opens.....

How can I capture an externally hosted page as a variable ?

How can I capture the html or css of an externally hosted

doing it with local file but I can't work out how to go about it
when the file isn't on your cf server. Any ideas ?

Yes, of course.

Error while configuring QT--can't capture in FCP HD

I keep getting a message saying "Error occured while configuring QT using the current capture presets, please close FCP and check your hardware configuraton" when I try to capture. All settings are consistent with video output device. I'm upconverting 720p to 1080i and capturing at 1080i 29.97. What else can I do!?!?!?

What are you trying to capture? What format? What capture card are you using?
If you are trying to upconvert HDV via firewire, you can't do that. You can only capture native resolution or lower "offline quality" resolutions. You cannot cross convert or upconvert via firewire.
But that is just a stab in the dark.

Can't capture from my cannon video camera to Final Cut or iMovie.

Hi. I can't capture from my cannon video camera to FInal Cut or iMovie. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think my iMac is recognizing the camera. I was told I don't need a firewire, that USB would work if I'm just capturing. If I need a firewire what kind (the one I was sold didn't fit). I'm getting an "unable to locate external device message". Not sure of next steps to try. Thanks.

Forget USB for capturing from tape. USB is only for stills from a Tape Based camera.
You require a firewire cable.
The camera connection end will be four pin and the Mac is nine pin to the 800 port.
Ask for a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. Sounds like you have the wrong one as they can also be 4 to 4 or 4 to 6 pin!!
Also you will need the correct Easy Setup in FCE so FCE talk to the camera, exactly which one depends on what type of footage is being sent to FCE from the camera during capture.

In ALV reports how can we capture separate data in 3 internal table

HI
In ALV reports how can we capture data in 3 Internal tables and combine them in another internal table to display........

Hello Sudhanshu
Another option would be to display all three itabs together which is a piece of cake using OO-based ALV lists. Please refer to thread

I'm getting Could not initialize the application's security component, when opening Firefox and I can't bookmark anymore, why?

Here is the message I get when I open Firefox;
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most
likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile
directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write
restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is
recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you
continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application

Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.
You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.<br />
Firefox will create new files.
