Continuing import problem with USB cameras.

In other threads people have discussed problems they are having with iMovie 7.1.1 in importing with USB cameras. I have had the same experience with my Sony CX-7 on two different MacBook Pros including a brand new one. Once in a while the camera will trigger the import page but usually not. Is this a bug Apple is aware of and working on?? Other suggestions for a fix or work around. Very frustrating.

Hmmm... I think there might be some sort of bug with the app regarding USB port connections. iMovie wouldn't even launch for me until I disconnected my 2 external drives. However, it seems that when I mount the external HD that's connected via firewire, iMovie is able to launch. But when it's the other external drive that's connected via USB that's mounted, that's when iMovie won't even open... And the weirdest thing is that, when the external HD that's mounted via USB is connected, just as you think the app has launched correctly, it sort of brings up an error message box that I can't even read for it just crashes immediately...

    Lines, it would be better to get a new battery. Search online with battery FRU number or call Lenovo to purchase from Lenovo.
    I would suggest you buy a wireless usb adapter too which won't cost much more than the headache. 
    It's not the brand, batteries can be unpredictable, as any electronic product can be. I had been using my laptop for last 2 years and it has been doing perfectly fine as it was when i got it; except for the battery which was battery manufacturer's problem i guess.

  • K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

    Ok here is my problem..
    I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
    I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
    When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
    I had to plug it out and in again..
    Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
    Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
    In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
    I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
    Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
    Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
    My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
    Thanks for reply

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
    Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
    Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
    Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
    I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
    I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
    Thanks everyone!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
    However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
    Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
    I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
    Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
    This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
    I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)

  • Satellite M70-190 - problem with USB

    Hi!
    After uninstall Windows XP and BIOS update, i have a problem with USB ports. My USB flash drive does't work. Windows find it as USB flash drive, but i can't find it in "My computer"
    So have anyone idea about this problem?
    PS External HDD works perfect, as USB mouse, and USB WiMax modem.
    Im hoping someone out there can help with this problem.

    Is described issue the same on all USB ports?
    I mean, I have Satellite M70-159 in front of me and since long time I use 8GB SanDisc and 2GB Toshiba USB stick and both devices are recognized properly.
    I still use original Toshiba WXP installation (updated of course).

  • MSI K8N Diamond - Boot problems with USB devices attached.

    Hi There.
    I have been seeking the forums, but havent found the answer to my problem yet. 
    This is how it goes with ANY USB devices attached to either of the four USB ports on the Motherboard.
    When i turn on my system, it hangs in the POST right after displaying the BIOS version (Which I have updated to 1.6) - I cant use my Keyboard to get to the BIOS setup.
    Without USB devices attached...
    The system boots without problems. And in Windows XP SP2 i can insert my keyboard, mouse etc. and everything works great - both USB 1.1 & 2.0 devices.
    I have disabled the KB/USB.. in BIOS and I have disabled the "Boot on other device" option as well.
    As I have found on this forum, a lot of people have problems with USB Front panel and D-Bracket (USB ports) connectors causing the system to hang - But my D-Bracket (USB connectors) and my front USB port is at this time DISCONNECTED - so this cannot be the problem.
    The D-Bracket shows the "Bios Sign On" information - and stops at that point 
    Am I having a malfunctioning Motherboard here, or are there any solutions to this problem?
    Please help me as I am desperate to have my system work properly.
    Regards
    Stieper

    Well I have read about that somewhere in here, but my problem is NOT with an USB hub, but with any USB device attached to the motherboard's USB slots. It is driving me nuts to be honest!! I think it might be time for RMA 
    What do you say guys - is my Motherboard ready for RMA, or do I have to try something specific berfore sending it to the retailer??
