Canon ZR400 will not download tape data to iMovie

Never used iMovie before so it is new to me. As well I just purchased my first camcorder; a Canon mini DVD with digital tape/memory card. The camcorder works flawlessly, Software installed without any problem. I am connected with a firewire cable and the camera is pluged into an external power source.
When hooked up to my iBook, the only software that recognizes the camera is iMovie. I can view the footage and control my camera while in iMovie in real time. iMovie version is 3.0.3. When in iMovie I can only import clips by clicking on IMPORT. The clips are between 2-5 seconds in length. Nothing longer. When the clip is replayed it hesitates in iMovie and sometimes freezes. I would like to import the whole 60 minute tape.
Could this be due to the fact that my ibook is only a G3, 700 mhz? I have read, and re-read all the manuals and I have everything hooked up correctly, as well as viewing DV IN on the camcorder screen when in iMovie.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Your Canon is a miniDV, that records on tape. A miniDVD is a different creature: It records on small DVD discs and are NOT compatible with iMovie.

  • PSE 8.0 WILL NOT DOWNLOAD CR FILES FROM CANON 1DMKIV

    I have intslled and reinstalled PSE8.0 and the software STILL will not download the RAW files from the Canon 1DMKIV.
    Downloads all other CR files from all my other Canon bodies fine.
    I keep getting "Corruption or File already exists" errors yet if you check Adobe CS4 RAW files are downloaded fine.
    Any hints?
    This is 2nd copy of PSE installation cds. Tech Support cannot find trouble.

    Thank You "99jon".
    That did it ...FINALLY. ATTENTION TO USERS: DO NOT "DOWNLOAD PSE8 FROM ADOBE STORE"!!!! THIS FILE IS MISSING AND PLACED IN WRONG DUAL PSE FOLDER> FOLLOW WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR PSE8. TIER 3 ADOBE SW ENGIN COULD NOT FIX!
    After checking the PSE8 Program Files I discovered that the zip file was indeed previously downloaded but for some screwed up reason Adobe has place 2 files for PSE8.
    After reading the "download text file" I found that the "exe" file was placed in the wrong file according to Adobe Download instructions.
    After placing it in the file it should be AOK!!!! TESTED OK!! Plug-IN version still shows version 5.51 but it does dwnld 1DMKIV CR2 files now.
    Submit your Pay Voucher to Adobe because they could not figure it out up to Tier 3 Software Support Engineering!!
    Many Thanks!

  • My apps will not download. It says that they cannot be downloaded at this time. I just brought my Iphone5 32gb today. I have my data plan turned on.What's the problem?

    Ok, it sounds like you are getting to the final step. (i.e., Your on your iPhone, showing a good Wi-Fi connection, you are using the App Store and have selected the App you want.  The small Icon for your App is showing a bar at the bottom that has an open "fill bar" that is going to track the download and installation of the App.  But at this point you get an Error Message.  The Error Message Says, "?????"  Try again latter?  What?
    Just for fun, try downloading the App while you and your iPhone are as close to the Wi-Fi Router as possible.  Lets see if you are just experiencing a weak Wi-Fi signal.  This can cause App Downloads to fail.

  • App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

    Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
    OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
    Location : UK
    Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
    Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
    I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
    Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
    Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
    However this did not happen.
    Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
    If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
    The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
    I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
    After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
    I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
    I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
    I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
    I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
    The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
    I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
    In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
    I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
    My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
    Nothing I try will download the app in question.
    The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
    I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
    (Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
    I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
    I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
    Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
    Thanks in advance for any support.

    Hi there.
    Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
    No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
    I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
    While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
    I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
    Thanks again for your help

  • TS1368 My iPad will not download app updates or new apps, however all other Internet connections do work, I can connect and browse apps just not download

    I can browse the iTunes store, get on the Internet ,etc, but it will not download apps or updates for my apps. I get a message that it cannot connect to the store

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your Apple ID in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it works.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, go to Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-try.

  • HT4059 The book I purchased will not download.

    I purchased a book from iTunes and it will not download.  I get a message confirming my purchase and to tap download.  I've followed the directions dozens of times but still no book.

    Have you tried deleting the book from the bookshelf and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the iBooks app ? (And for the epub version did you still have the ibook version in the app - that shouldn't have affected it, but there's a small chance.)
    If you get the wrong book again then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 Clients Will Not Download Anything Using BITS, error 0x801901F4

    I built a new SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 suite on Server 2012 R2. Clients will not download anything that require BITS transfers. The root of the problem seems to be in the DataTransferService.log. These lines keep appearing over and over:
    CDTSJob::HandleErrors DTS Job '(a GUID)' BITS Job '(a GUID)' under user '(SID)' OldErrorCount: 11 NewErrorCount: 12 ErrorCode 0x801901F4 (of course, error counts increment)
    CDTSJob:Handlerrors DTS Job = '(GUID matching one above)' URL='http://dpname and package path' ProtType=1
    Any input appreciated.

    Well, I found a problem. LOCAL SERVICE was running the Distribution Points Pool in IIS and Local Service didn't have rights to c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\V4.0.30319 on the DP server. Once it did that it cleared up some IIS problems but not this
    problem.
    0x80070003 seems to mean "path not found". In DataTransferService.log the path it's trying to get to is
    http://fullservername:80/sms_dp_smspkg$/abc00012. When I enter that path into a browser URL bar, it displays this info:
    date time 50449456
    http://fullservername:80/sms_dp_smspkg$/abc0012.2/exe file of patch it's trying to pull.
    The clients seem unable to find the path to the patches.

  • Firefox Top Sites page will not download

    My Firefox, OSX, and Adobe Flashplayer software systems are all up to date.  The issue is that the Top sites page on Firefox will not download.  All that appears is a blank gray screen. 
    Please advise.

    Can you start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key?
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I find the Air easier to work with if I need a keyboard if, for no other reason, that's more compact to carry around than the iPad and a keyboard, even one that is part of an iPad case.  I also often have to access data from one application when using another, and iOS is not at its best when having to do rapid application switching (Command-Tab switching is a lot faster than the double press home, scroll the icons at the bottom and swap).
    As well, for editing I find the lack of sandboxing on OSX allows for efficiency enhancing utilities across applications, something you don't get in iOS.  I understand the reason for that, but while more secure it also creates issues of its own in terms of usability in a number of situations.
    I prefer the iPad for totally single application focused situations where little or no input is required.  I use my iPad to hold copies of manuals when I'm doing a full day continuing education presentation for CPAs.  A MacBook Aire can't really fill in very easily for that usage.
    I see them each as tools appropriate for different jobs.

  • Firefox will not download anything?

    I seem to have a problem with Mozilla for Android, namely, that it will not download anything. I can click on downloads and it seems to go through the motions but nothing appears in 'downloads'. The problem started happening when I downloaded, installed and then removed another well known browser beggining with the letter 'O' :-; Unfortunately this browser messes with the stock Android download manager.
    I'm running on a Google Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. Fortunately I can still download with the default Chrome browser. The problem has also ocurred on my Samsung SIII Mini which runs Android 4.1.2 so its not unique to the Nexus tablet. The problem is still ocurring even after a factory reset on the tablet!

    Factory reset did not actually fix the issue.
    However, I discovered something quite weird. When I try to download something, although it appears that nothing happens, FF puts an entry in History.
    If I now go to history and tap on the entry for the download, FF starts downloading the file and then automatically presents me with the option to open in Aldiko or PDF viewer as before!
    Its a pity it doesn't work on the first attempt - but at least I have a workaround!

  • VCast Media Manager Will Not  Download Purchased MP3 Album to PC

    VCast Media Manager Will Not  Download Purchased MP3 Album to my PC, but has deducted the purchase from my account.  Clicking Download Manager tab gives the message "Please sign into the store", even though I am logged in.  
    In the past when this problem occurs Loging out and Login In  to the store has worked and started the download , but not this time.   There is no tab on the Shopping Cart to Log out of Store.  I have tried exiting and restarting VCast Media Manager and also rebooting the system.  I am running VCast Version 1.5.0 Build 1652 which is reported as the latest.  System is meets all requirements Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4 GB RAM, Sound Card and Video Card.
    If I need to re-install VCast Media Manager how can the data be saved that determines I am owed a download?
    Thanks.

    I would call customer service and see if they can see an issue on their end...and at least make a note that you never received the download.
