Can't Import more than one DV tape. (Sony DCR-PC120E)

Importing video from my Sony DCR-PC120E camcorder works with the first DV tape and then stop working with following tapes.
Only workaround is to reboot the Mac.
All Transports keys are working except the play command either in manual or automatic mode.
In automatic mode, the tape rewind fine but doesn't play.
All software are up to date. (iMovie 7.1.4, MacOS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.5)
Any idea ?

I did read that the firewire port stays powered even while my Mac Pro is off, and that is why the main power supply must be disconnected in order to fully reset the port, but this is apparently not necessary as a restart (not even shutdown, just restart) allows me to import another DV tape.
Perhaps the better question is to ask what is being reset with my computer that allows me to import another DV.
Apparently the port stays active, so it isn't the port.
Its not the camera, I've tried power cycling it while the machine is on with no change.
Its not the iMovie preference file, it doesn't change at all when the computer is restarted.
Something seems to be running in the background on the operating system itself (10.5.2), or a remnant from iMovie even after program quit that remembers it had control of my camera.
Since it doesn't seem that everyone has this problem (only select DV players/camcorders), it would seem that it is somehow related to my specific model of camera. But as it is not the camera itself (else the power cycle of the camera should resolve), perhaps it is the driver OSX is using to connect to my camera?
Does anyone know a way to, in a sense, "force quit" a stubborn driver instance?

  • How can I import more than one photo album onto my iPad

    Help! Can I import more than one photo album onto my IPad from my PC and if so how?

    Yes and it's very easy to do once you know what to do.
    Place all of the photo albums that you want to transfer to the iPad into one main photos album on your PC. When your iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes and after you have selected the iPad under Devices, click on the Photos tab and in the Sync Photos from heading - select that main photos album that you place all of your other photos folders into - select each album that you want to sync - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner to sync the photos to the iPad.

  • Can I import more than one song at a time?

    Hello all, this is my first post so go easy on me...lol
    I just purchased my first iPOD today and seem to notice so far that I can only import one song at a time into iTunes library. I cannot select more than one song at a time by holding down the shift button. These are songs that I already have on my computer, not songs just ripped through iTunes. Also how can I get album art onto all of my songs? I've noticed that only one album so far has album art on it. The others don't. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Rachyl, I'll try that when I get off of work. What about the album art? How can I make sure I get it every time in the future. Can I rip my CD's using another software to make sure they are tagged right?

  • In Thunderbird, how can I import more than one set of sub-folders from my old email program?

    I recently changed to Thunderbird from Microsoft Outlook Express (which I still have installed), on which I had two separate "identities", each having its own address book and set of sub-folders. The installation process successfully set up two new sets of files in Thunderbird (Inbox, etc.), one set for each of my previous identities, and successfully retrieved all the data from both address books, combining them in the process, but it has only retrieved one set of sub-folders. Is there any way I can copy the other set of folders across?

    I am pretty sure I answered this question this morning. posted more than once on the same subject have we?

  • Can't upload more than one photo to facebook

    Hallo, I am new to this, so I apologise if I am doing things wrong.
    I have a Z2 which is fully up to date and oterhwise doing fine, however for the last week or so I have discovered that I can no longer upload more than one picture from my album to facebook  from my phone in a status update.
    I have tried deleting facebook and reinstalling from the playstore, but that has not helped. I have checked and I can still upload more than one from my sony laptop.
    Can anybody help please.

  • How can I send more than one foto in a email

    How can I send more than one foto in a email?

    Or, to send up to 5 photos in one email, open the Photos app, go to the Album containing the photos, tap Select, tap up to 5 photos (a blue tick will appear on them), then tap the Share icon (square with arrow pointing up) and choose Mail.
    If you choose more than 5 photos this way, you won't get the Mail option.

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.

    Stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on these devices.  Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using a unique ID for each device.  (Or, just sign out and stop using your Apple ID for iMessage.)

  • Import more than one file at a time

    Is there a way to import more than one file at-a-time to LR?

    PC or Mac?
    You can import whole folder/directory strctures if you want. In LR click on Import in Library or Shift-Cmd/Ctl-I and the initial Finder/Explorer dialogu should let you choose a Folder/Derectory, not just an individual file, though you should be able to Shift Click multiple folders/files as well.

  • Can I have more than one iCloud account?

    Can I have more than one iCloud account?

    One option is to start backing up one of them to your computer using iTunes instead.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn off iCloud Backup.  After that the device will start automatically backing up to your computer when you sync it with iTunes.
    Another option is to migrate your iPad, along with a copy of the iCloud data to a different account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on it to the camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on your iPad, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from your iPad, not from iCloud; your phone won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPad and choose Keep on My iPad when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the account.  The disadvantage of this is that once your phone and iPad are on different accounts, they will no longer sync data with each other using iCloud.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

  • Can't print more than one job at a time.

    I am trying to print to either a HP DesignJet 1055cm plotter or a HP LaserJet 5000N. I can't send more than one file at a time. If i don't wait until the current job starts printing, the next one won't print. For example if I sent five files one right after the other, I might get 1, 4 and 5. I don't think it's a printer problem because it happens on two different printers, and it doesn't happen when I print from my PC. Any idea what could cause this?

    My work around is to put all the jobs "on hold" in the print settings or just "stop jobs" on the printer window.
    Then I click on each print job in the que and let them print one at a time. This way I can at least quit the program and move onto the next thing.
