Cant see external devices using firewire in Final Cut HD

After installing iLife anad iWork I stopped being able to import from an external device over firewire using Final Cut Express 2. I upgraded my OS to X 10.4.7 and that didn't help. I upgraded to Final Cut HD 3.5 and that didn't help either. I am able to capture in iMovie just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Did you update quicktime over a previous version?
There are some issues with some computer configuration, firewire, iMovie, FCE and QT 7.
See:

Good luck!

Cant see all devices using airport utility

why is it that when using windows xp and wired ethernet i can not see all apple devices using airport utility? If i switch to wireless i can see all of the devices just fine.

To view Ethernet devices you need to use AirPort Utility 5.6. This can be installed using this method:

Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!

Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
My MBP will not "see" my new MB or my back-up drive—both connected via a firewire 400 (6 pin) cable. Both running Tiger X.4.11
I have used this cable to connect my MBP and a TiBook in the past as well as to back-up onto the LaCie e-drive.
I have run "disk repair" and "permissions" on both machines.
BTW—"permissions" are regularly out of wack on the MBP. But, the disk is OK according to Disk Utilities.
I also cannot put the machine to sleep after logging out. Has a hard time shutting down as well. Sometimes I need to force a re-boot.
Can't run Disk Doctor because I don't have a bootable disk yet. It's coming via snail mail.
The new MB "sees" the e-drive connected with the same cable.
I can't transfer my files to the new MB nor can I back up.
Is it time for a "clean install"? Makes me nervous that I cannot backup before trying anything drastic.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Put the more recalcitrant computer into Target Drive mode by starting it with the T key down until you see the yellow on blue screen. Then connect it to the other machine by firewire cable while both are already awake.
I hope that you did not do any upgrades while you had external drives connected... that is an automatic problem. Always disconnect from externals and accessories before doing any upgrades. Always back up before doing any upgrades.
Firewire networking is not the same as using a computer in Target Disc mode. In Target disc mode, you are using the internal drive of the Td computer as an external. That should allow you to run disk utility. Do use the proper disc utility version for the OSX version that is on problem drive. ie don't use the Leopard disc utility for the Tiger disc or vice versa.

That has nothing to do with anything. Whether the resource is on the local network or accesible through the internet only is not relevent here at all. This forum is for Java network programming. If a resouce is not available because you are not connected physically to a network that is a network problem. That is not a Java progamming problem.
Okay?
There's alot of rubbish posted in this forum about "public networks" and what not and not one lick of it is related to Java programming. Yes if you connect through more routers to something there is a better chance that somewhere along the way that you will hit a firewall or other similar issue. But these are all network issues. Not networking programming issues. And not resolvable directly in Java any way you want to think about it.

How can I see all devices using my airport express?

Is there any way to see all devices using my airport express for wifi connection?

Open Macinotsh HD > Applications > Utilities > AriPort Utility
Select the AirPort Express and click on Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Wireless Clients about 2/3 of the way down the page to see the MAC Address of each connected device along with the IP address that has been assigned.
You will need to do a bit of experimenation to be able to identify which device is which based on the MAC address.
Disconnect all but one device and note the MAC address. You now know that product that is.
Turn that one off and connect another. You now know what that device is, etc.
If you have 4 wireless devices...and you see 5 connected devices.....you may have an unwanted guest.

i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
* which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
This might help
For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

Using music in Final Cut Express

I loaded music into iTunes. It's music written and performed by my friend. I'm editing a video for him.
In the old iTunes you could convert any song to an MP3 version. They you could import and use the song in Final Cut Express with no problem. Now I don't see that option. It's either not there on one of my iMacs or it's grayed out in another.
How can convert my songs to that I can edit and use music.

Ideally, you should use should use the original file instead of MP3/AAC.
And you don't use MP3 in Final Cut Express.
See this -> Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express: Convert MP3 and AAC audio files for compatibility before importing

Installing used copy of Final Cut Studio 2

Hello,
I've been reading around the net and haven't been able to find a very clear answer as to what happens when you buy and install a used copy of Final Cut Studio. I understand that the program can be sold as soon as it is completely uninstalled from the seller's machine, but it's what happens after that on the buyer's machine that I am dealing with.
It is important to note that I am dealing with full versions of the program, not upgrades (nor do I have to option to consider them in my situation).
These are my questions;
1. When the buyer (me) installs the seller's used copy of Final Cut Studio 2 will I be able to install the program on both a desktop & laptop like when the suite is new (this is vital because I am getting a new laptop and need studio on both machines)?
2. If (for some unknown reason) the seller's used copy of FCS2 doesn't install, can I install FCS HD without any problems?
3. If for some reason FCS2 isn't completely uninstalled from the seller's machine will it impede my installation process of FCS2?
Any info you can give me in regard to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated. It is a bit time sensitive (not that I have a deadline but I need to do this asap) so immediate responses would be amazing.
Thanks,
~ JoeA

Thank you for your quick response David!
1. Great! Glad that worked out.
2. When I say FCS 2 I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro 6, DVD Studio Pro 4, Motion 3, LiveType 2, Soundtrack Pro 2, Color, Compressor 3. I'm pretty sure it will play nicely with a new intel machine.
When I say FCS HD I mean the suite that came with Final Cut Pro (5.1.4), DVD Studio Pro, Motion 2, and Soundtrack Pro, and Compressor 2. This version (5.1) was made to work with intel machines.
3. Thank you also for providing the link! I definitely want to make sure this is legal.
Much appreciated

FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
but which one..
due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
(example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
.. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

I stuffed around with itunes and now I cant see my device when I connect...Please help??

Please help I am a total spaz with itunes! lol I can't see my device in itunes..

Hello there chester,
It sounds like your iPhone is no longer recognized in iTunes when you plug it in. I recommend the steps from the following article to help troubleshoot what you are seeing:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
This is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, I would next try uninstalling iTunes and all its associated softwares with either of the following articles depending on your version of Windows. Note: this will not affect your iTunes Library.

Cant "see" external ADSL modem [D-link model DSL-500B]

Hi guys!
Im here in poor Brazil, and I just bought a new DSL-500B external ADSL modem, and I can make this machine turn to router, to stop login every time I turn on the computer.
The manual says that the IP is 192.168.254.254, but Firefox and Safari cant "see"... I ping, and cant find... I tracerout to a google site and the modem dont appear, its invisible!
Im properly conected on web... But I have this little problem...
I dont know what to do...
Please good people, help me!
Thanks,
Daniel

iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Nothing, mate...
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Cant see external Hard Drive connected to TC

Hey Guys
Love my TC but still cant get it to work as I want. I will list my challenges seperatley.
The first one is I have a hard drive connected by USB but I cant see it in Finder? I can see everything on my TC but not the connected HD.
Thanks in Advance
AC
(Its the latest TC with latest software)

What Bob suggested should work.
You can also plug the USB drive into a Mac.. Mac OS can read NTFS but not write to it. You could then copy the files to the TC. My experience is Mac reads NTFS very slowly..
You do want to get the PC working I think, by ethernet to the TC and copy the files.
If this is just temporary that is fine.. using the TC for a data store and mixing with Time Machine is not such a great idea.
IMHO USB drives are cheap.. go and buy a new one. So you can copy the files direct from one disk plugged into your computer to the drive correctly connected to the TC or to the Mac.. Keep the old USB as a backup or format it and use it for something else.
