Connectivity and FCP

Up to this point in my FCP experience, I have used nothing but Log and Capture with my Canon NTSC ZR60 mini cassette camcorder which has worked great with FCP. I am on the verge of purchasing a new Canon HD camcorder and am worried about connectivity issues using Log and Transfer. The new Canon camcorder I am looking at says this about connectivity: "USB|HDMI". Will this work with Log and Transfer in FCP 7.0.3? In addition, the camcorder has 8 gb of Flash Memory. Not sure how that translates into video time? Is upgrading to 32 gb of Flash Memory worth the expense?

Thank you, Russ. I have watched Shane's tutorial:
Tapeless Workflow with Final Cut Pro 7
and found it very helpful. The reason for my concern was I thought I read in one of the FCP threads that one had to use Firewire for the transfer but it is not listed in the Connectivity for the camcorder I am looking at. Yes, the camcorder does have removeable media storage. Is that my work around concerning Firewire and FCP?

Convergent HD connect box and FCP help

I am trying to capture HDV video using a HDV deck that goes firewire into a convergent design HD connect si box, i am then going out of that sdi into my aja card on my computer....to get deck control i am using the rs422 connector into the convergent box....I am trying to capture it Proess HQ and it seems to be working but every so often a message pops up and stops my capture but the tape is still playing and FCP says the tape had changed would like like to name it something new......it does it at random times and not on TC breaks....any idea of the setting i need to be using on FCP i made my own in the device control but not exactly sure what they should b......how ever if i take it in using the aja 10 bit not proress i have no problem.......any ideas?

when you ran the control app for the box did you select FCP? default is avid generic.
I would use Sony 422 as a default protocol, vitc and ltc, but that's just the way I think.
have you talked with convergent support?

possibly a switch setting re drop frame/nondrop frame?
you've gone over the switch settings on the SI box

FCP-just upgraded to tiger and FCP Studio-reports 'Missing FW connection".

I just finished upgrading 3 computers to OS 10.4.7 and FCP Studio, then installed all the obvious updates.
The first 2 computers, a G5 and G4, had no problems seeing and capturing video via FW.
The last computer, my primary workhorse, cannot find the tape device, a DSR 20. Upon clicking 'continue', to finish loading FCP, in A/V settings, the system reports the Apple FW is "missing". I've switched out the cable, then the tape devices, I've rebooted and thrown prefrence and plist files... etc...
Here's a weird thing, the controller in the log and capture window works fine to control the deck, but it won't pass or capture the video.
I'm getting ready to reinstall everything. Anybody have an opinion?
Thank you,

Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. The usual solution it to force a full reinstall of QT.
This is how:
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

Can live camera connect to FCP 6 or 7?

I want to test chroma key while taping. Is it possible to film with green screen connect to FCP live? I don't want to log and capture and test then try again. It will do same process again and again.

If you mean you want to capture live, while tweaking your chroma key at the same time...no.
Unless there's some new features I'm unaware of.

Intel Mac and FCP

I have a lab full of macs. All g5 dual 2.5s. We are running OS 10.4.9, and FCP 5.1.4. They run perfectly. No problems.
A month ago I replaced two of these edit stations with two Intel Mac Pro dual 2.6, dual core Macs w/ 4gb of ram. They are running 10.4.9, and FCP 5.1.4 as well, but FCP freezes up constantly on these. I have run the 10.4.9 combo update on both. Same problem. Any ideas? Anyone run into this one as well?

Wondering if there might be a problem with your RAM. Run hardware tests and if possible, Techtool. Also, try editing with some media on your internal drive with graids disconnected. I've had a lot of problems with various firewire drives (although I worked with a multitude of firewire drives for many years without serious problems). Worth a shot to try and isolate the problem.
And although you said you were working in SD, you didn't say what format. DV? If so, do you have a deck and/or converter connected to your computers?

Phone is connecting and transfering data in the ba...

Today at work my Nokia 6710 did start to transfer data in the background without my interaction. I was typing a sms while the symbol for data transfer below the 3G lit up. Did a quick check in the menu->settings->connectivity->Conn.mgr. Yes, one active connection was sending and receiving data, small amounts 3-4kb, then idle.
I ended the connection in the Conn.mgr. Closed all the apps in the phone and waited a minute. Then it started one new connection in the background again! Same procedure, checked and closed it...! This did not stop, every time the phone started a new connection after a minute?
I did try to find what could cause this, but no success. What is going on, any ideas for what to check?
I finally deleted my 3G access point in menu->settings->settings->connection->destinations->internet
This did stopp the phone from connecting and transfering data.
Back home I connected to my WiFi at home, used the browser and closed the connection. Guess what, the phone did now connect via the WiFi in the background doing exactly the same type of small data transfer - without asking!?
What is this? I downloaded the latest F-Secure mobile version to check for virus, but nothing, it was clean.
I did shut down the phone, will not use it until I can stop these unwanted connections and transfers. Please help.

Finally I found the reason for these data transfers. The upgrade of the mentioned files did have something to do with all of this, but the removal of the files did not help.
So, I did go through all the settings in again for Connections and the setting for Share Video were set On...? Turning this setting Off did stop the background data transfers.
Problem solved perhaps. But I still wonder why the Share Video setting did start sending data while the phone was not in use? A bug? A virus? A hacker trying to activate the webcam?

How do I get my internal camera to connect and turn on?

My internal camera is not connected and I need to know how to get my camera to turn on. Thanks for the input.

Welcome to  Discussions, mission hills.
If you have not already done so, shut down Mac and then restart. Restarting may fix it.
If not, use shldr2thewheel's good http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
(BTW - Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
If your trouble persists, when you post back here also tell us whether your cam works to record with Apple apps like Photo Booth and QuickTime Player. If not, verify the symptoms are EXACTLY the same in more than one user account.
Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test. If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now. If you need help, here's how to do it in your Mac OS: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468 (A "Standard" account is all you need for testing.)
We await your status update

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

Macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again

macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again lik it did before

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

Access Connections and Tools won't install properly

I have followed advice uninstalled the wireless driver, access connections, hotkey, power manager. . Reinstalled all ( latest versions) except access connection. Wireless connections work correctly and all hot keys function appropriately ( including Fn +F5 ). Then I let TVSU download Access connections. An icon is placed in the task tray. Clicking on it nothing happens. Also none of the hot keys work including the blue ThinkVantage key. Once I uninstall Access connection I am back in business with the wireless connection and the hot keys working. ( for all these installs I turned off the Microsoft virus scanner and the firewall).
Have similar problem with ThinkVantage tools in that I get the Icon in the task tray and then the program freezes. No problem in reinstalling PC doctor5

Hi dulverton,
I find lenovo drivers and software rather eccentric; since they need to be installed in a particular order to work properly.
First uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
Further this is the order in which the following drivers must be installed for each of them to function desirably:-
1) Lenovo PM driver
2) Lenovo System Interface Driver
3) Hotkey driver
4) Wireless driver software [reboot]
5) Access Connections [reboot]
Hope it helps.

Cannot refresh table - test connection works fine but refresh gives "We couldn't refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server." error.

I'm having some difficulty updating a table in my powerpivot data model. The data for the table is stored in a local excel file; if I go to
Existing Connections select the connection and do a test then everything is successful. When however I try to refresh that particular table I get the following error:
"We couldn’t refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server."
In the past I had this and it was an authentication issue, the files are stored on SharePoint and I wasn't logged in to Sharepoint - I have however checked this and it can't be the issue because I have other tables linked to other excel files in the same
location that are refreshing without issue. Can anyone think of what may be causing it?
I have even tried creating a new local excel with the same data, added it to the data model and then tried a refresh and I I get exactly the same issue.
Are there any known issues with refreshing data from an Excel file if, after the initial import, you add columns to the table in the excel file I was wondering if this might contribute?
Thanks

Hi Maracles,
Thanks for your post.
From your description, I tried to reproduce this issue on my test environment. However, everything is fine for me. Could you please post the specific version of SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel?
You can try to use a trace file to troubleshoot errors in PowerPivot. If this issue still persists, please try to reinstall SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel to see if this helps.
