Data retrieval for Sony handycam with 60G harddrive.

Does BestBuy do data retrieval? I have a handycam with work video on it that accidentaly got formated. I know with a standard harddrive you can still retrieve it if there has not been recording since the formatting but I am not sure about camera harddrives. If BestBuy does not do it, does anyone know where it can be done and approximate cost. I live in the New Orleans area.
I may try the same question in computers if nobody knows. Thanks in advance for any guidance at all.

Best Buy sends out for data retrieval. You can have it sent out through geek squad to get the estimate of cost.

IPhoto compatible with Sony Handycam (with mini-DVD)?

I have a Sony Handycam and a MacBook Pro with iPhoto. The Handycam takes decent pictures and video, but it does not have a port for a memory stick. Also, the upload software that the Handycam came with... well... isn't so good. (I'm not sure if it's even Mac-compatible.)
Unfortunately, the Sony Handycam is not listed as one of the "cameras" that iPhoto comes with. (I put the word "cameras" in quotes because the Handycam is more a video camera than a still camera even though it takes still pictures.)
If anyone here knows of a workaround so that I can upload pictures from my Handycam to my MacBook Pro using iPhoto (or other appropriate software in the iLife suite), please let me know! I'm dying to have an excuse to not install the uploading software the Handycam came with.
Thanks in advance!

The Handycam's video format is one that in not OS X compatible. i don't know about the stills, however. I don't believe the mini-DVD disc that it create is Mac readable either. It's designed to go straight to DVD players and display the videos and stills on a TV set.
Do a search in the iPhoto 6 forum for "Sony Handycam" and you'll find previous topics on the subject. You might also try in the iDVD and iMovie forums.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Sequence settings for Sony HandyCam video

I'm working with video shot on a Sony Handycam HDR-CX550. I had no problem importing it into iMovie and then to FCP, however I can't figure out what sequence settings I should use. It appears to be 16x9, but shows up as 4x3 in my FCP bin. Also, the sequence settings I've tried all require rendering every time I make an edit, which obviously becomes a huge pain.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

My understanding is that IMovie works with DV streams (files with a .dv extension). You need to convert these to DV quicktimes (with a .mov extensions). Use Compressor (which comes with fcp) to do this. There is an apple preset for this format.

Mac OS9 Driver for Sony Handycam DVD-DCR100

I recently purchased an iMAC and want to start making movies with my Sony Handycam (USB device, no firewire). The apple support team directed me to the Sony support site to get a driver. Sony wanted me to pay for the driver and did not indicate if the driver was for Mac OS or not. I'm stuck. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would appreciate it.

I purchased a Sony Handycam Camcorder (DCR-SR82) and have a MacBook. I had recorded several videos and was anxious to transfer them on to my computer and then burn DVDs. I opened the camera box to find that the software provided with the Sony Handycam is for PCs only---there is no Mac installation disk. So, I began doing research and with some major help from a Mac genius, was able to get it all ironed out. My mission is to spread the word so that no one feels the need to return their Sony Handycam just because they are Mac owners! The first step is to make sure that the processor on your Mac is Intel, as I believe that is one of the requirements for all of this to work. Second is to buy iLife '08, which is around $80. Next, you can import your videos into iMovie without any difficulty and enjoy all of the editing features that iMovie provides. Once you have imported your movies, you can open iDVD and burn DVDs without difficulty. If you have an external DVD burner, which I do, you need to download one program which is free and is called Patchburn. This program will enable iDVD to recognize an external DVD burner. Then, you are all set to enjoy your Sony Handycam + all of the joy of editing movies with your Mac. Have fun!

Correct sequence settings for Sony HandyCam?

I have a Sony HandyCam DCR-SR200 and when i drag the video over in premiere to add it to the edited video it tells me to check my sequence setting meaning i set it up wrong for that type of video? i just used standard settings. But, if i click change or keep, the video is extrmely zoomed in. How can i change this? The correct sequence settings or am i missing a setting? It's Premiere CS6. Thanks!

Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different (I use CS5)

Data Overages for first time with no change in usage. What's up?

I see there are numerous posts about unexplained data overages. I think Verizon is manipulating the data changes somehow. I have always used about 2 gig a month, but had a 4gig plan. Never went over. Then one morning I had a text that I had used 75% of my date. Somewhat surprised, but I drove to work, none of my devices on. When I turned on my phone it said I had used 90% and within minutes said I had exceeded my data. I called Verizon with a lot of questions as how could that have happened. I was not given a response that made any sense but was told they would increase my data plan to 6gig for no additional charge. I agreed. Now at the end of this month the same thing happened. I went over my 6 gig with no changes in my usage. I do not stream music or watch videos, etc. No way I could have used that much. It showed I used 1.6 gig in one day, that's what I used to use for a month. Something is not right. What agency governs cell phone companies. We all need to report this.

It all comes down to those "pre-installed apps" and their updates that just won't stop downloading.
today, I realized that my phone was running kinda slow, so I went into the application manager and started deleting apps, and their updates. It took me a good hour to get all the useless ones out of the way, when I accidentally deleted all my contacts. Since my contacts was really the only thing I cared about, and now they're gone, I decided to go ahead and do the factory reset. Why not? So I started all over again like it was a new galaxy s5. My contacts came back no problem, and so didn't all those useless apps I deleted, so on my way back to the app manager to start deleting them again... I checked my data usage and how many gigs I had just freed for myself... a whole 8.57G out of 16G now freed up! nice right? Yea, then I see that little exclamation point in the top left corner, it said 30 apps have been upgraded, and there was nothing I could do to stop this, I don't want to go through all those apps and updates for a 3rd time. I thought, how much data is that gonna use? Turns out... 2.74Gs in 20 seconds and that was olny just 20apps, out of what 130 apps? That are being updated regularly everyday
Now I'm starting g to make sense of it now... my parents knew we were being had, for awhile now, just didn't know how. We've been talked into getting a 4G family data plan, charged over 900.00$ verizon bill, charged for data overages where we too don't use our phones for anything other than phone calls, or looking up something on the net. No music, no movies, none of that fun stuff. I see that in a matter of 20 seconds our data limit of 3G is just 1/4 away from gone, and that's just, what? 1 or 2 unwanted updates away from another overage charge? So I try to stop these updates by selecting in the Google play settings "do not update apps" but that simply doesn't work. It seems by simply connecting to WI-FI will negate my command.. and the updates keep coming. Only by shutting off both mobile data and WIFI seems to stop the updates... temporarily. It's hard to explain but it looks like verizon is using Google play app updates to max out data, and verizon is charging us for overages 2 and 3 times a month! They manipulate the data to make money, Stealing, and we're not the only ones, you caught them too ^^^. This is criminal, and something does indeed need to be reported to a proper governing body above verizon.
This has been going on in my family unnoticed for years, until now.
Resulting in ridiculous bills, coupled with false overage charges. Causing nothing but heartache and stress for my family, but we still pay... God I don't know why. But we do, and they just keep Taking.
I found out their heartless corporate bullying tactics against the little people, and you did too ^^^ they just keep throwing new "plans" and "6 more gigs" at us.
They sneak these updates right under our noses, blow up our data and threaten us to pay, or else we'll be blackballed from cable/Internet everywhere.
this is nothing else but criminal, rigging the game.
We don't want more gigs, we want our money and out mental health back!

Using a Sony Handycam with a MacBook

We have a Sony Handycam and I am unable to make it work with my MacBook. Are they compatible and how can I import the movies off the camcorder and work with them on my mac?

im pretty sure you have to get a firewire cable to connect the sony to your macbook. unless of course you have a memory card reader. then you could just dump the memory card from inside the sony cam into the card reader and import.

Hi,
Sort ITAB by <Material> <Date> descnding.
Delete adjacent duplicates comparing Material.
Then table will contain material with latest date.

Switching Data Source for a report with stored procedure

Post Author: ysbn
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I've created a report and deployed it on a Crystal Server. The report is based on a certain stored procedure which also exists on other DB machines in my environment (Oracle machines). When I try to switch my report object to work with other machines (not the one originally used when the report was designed) the activation of the report fails. The error I see in the preview window is:
Error in File <my rpt file name>: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 6550 ]
When I try the same thing with a report which is based on a view and not a stored procedure the switching of Data Source works perfectly.
Is there a problem switching between data sources from the server when the report is based on stored procedure? Are there any configurations I need to do in order to support this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi everyone~
i am now facing the same problem
i am using CR2008 and Visual Studio 2008 c# to write a window program
because we have 2 db environment (one is production , the other one is development) so i have set a prarameter to switch db connection in c# code.
the database is Oracle, and the the report will connect to Oracle procedure (which it is stored in package) this procedure will return reference cursor, so the report will loop up this cursor to generate report.
at first time, it work fine when i open the report in CR2008 designer and point to dev database (ie datasource point to oracle procedure) . but when i want to deploy this win application to client and point to prod database, it show (vendor error 6550)
i found that i cannot change the datasource during runtime in c# code...
am i miss something in code? here attached a part of this code...
private void setDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo info, ReportDocument doc)
            Tables myTables = doc.Database.Tables;
            foreach (Table myTable in myTables)
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo;
                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = info;
                logOnInfo.TableName = myTable.Name;
                myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                //myTable.Location = info.UserID + "." + "pkg_crystal_report." + myTable.Name;
                //someone suggest i have to set the 'Location' for change the datasource, but i am not sure how to construct a
                //string for point to oracle prcedure
i will check it freq ... hope any expert can give me some advice ~
thank you very much!!!

LOST installation CD For Sony Handycam DCR HC42

Hello Everyone,
Sony won't let you download the installation CD!!! You have to buy it for $70!!! And, all the freeware available is for Windows. I was wondering if you guys had any aolutions b/c my computer isn't recognizing the handycam!
Thanks

Hotinthedesert,
How are you connecting the camera to your computer? If you're using the USB cable that came with the camera, that's your problem.
You need a 4-6 pin FireWire cable (Sony calls FireWire iLink). Any store that sells computer accessories should have them. No need to buy a Sony branded cable.
You don't need any drivers or any of the software that Sony has to offer.

Duplicating address data option for second applicant with a check box

I've been searching and trying things out for hours now, without success.
I'm not sure if this is PDF Forms question or whether I should be posting to the Java forum, but here it is:
I have an PDF application form with several fields for mailing address data (street address, city, state). The application also has an area on another page of the form for a second applicant. The second applicant has an area for their mailing address too.
I'd like to create a check box for the second applicant that says "Same as first applicant", so that if it's checked the address data in all three fields automatically populates the same information that was completed for the first applicant in those fields.
I assume this might be something that required some custom JavaScript but I know very little about how to write code. I've tinkered with a few thinks I found online but nothing seems to work. Any information that could help me out would be much appreciated.

A bit more complicated, but not by much. So basically you can use this script as the MouseUp action of the check-box (notice I used generic field names here, you can replace them with the actual ones in your file):
if (event.target.value=="Off") { // the box is NOT ticked
    this.getField("Target1").value = "";
    this.getField("Target2").value = "";
    this.getField("Target3").value = "";
    this.getField("Target4").value = "";
    this.getField("Target1").readonly = false;
    this.getField("Target2").readonly = false;
    this.getField("Target3").readonly = false;
    this.getField("Target4").readonly = false;
} else { // the box IS ticked
    this.getField("Target1").value = this.getField("Source1").valueAsString;
    this.getField("Target2").value = this.getField("Source2").valueAsString;
    this.getField("Target3").value = this.getField("Source3").valueAsString;
    this.getField("Target4").value = this.getField("Source4").valueAsString;
    this.getField("Target1").readonly = true;
    this.getField("Target2").readonly = true;
    this.getField("Target3").readonly = true;
    this.getField("Target4").readonly = true;

Hi Madhukar,
The Input for the FM SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ is Work item ID.
Pass your Workitem ID to this FM. It will give you all your Workflow container data's in Element-Value format.
Just loop it and get the required data's.
Thanks,

Data Retrieval For Service Request Data

I am building a service that will have an input for a previously submitted request number. When that is entered, I need to be able to retrieve specific field values from that previous request. I do not know if the dictionary data is able to be queried and if so, which tables will house the data I am looking for. Sample: select dictionaryXXX.Field.YYY from??? where requesitionentryID = 1234

Hi Chris,
I believe that all of the dictionary/form data is encyrpted and stored using WDDX so it can't be extracted. There's a secret squirrel WDDX viewer which you pass a ReqEntryID too and it displays a table of all of the service elements but you won't be able to use a retrieval rule to pull the data sorry.
Only basic information can be retrieved from the RC DB that I know of (ReqIDs, Customer Details from the DirPerson table, etc).
Cheers,
Ant
