DV signal from Mac not showing up in camcorder

After a few months with FCP X (now 10.0.7), 4 yrs with a Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8 on a 2008 machine), 1 1/2 years with a Canon Camcorder to relay the feed from the Mac's firewire port to a TV monitor, and 12 years experience in non-linear editing (most of that with Adobe Premiere) the feed suddenly stopped coming from the firewire port (either of them) to the camcorder. All hardware is the same as during the weeks when the feed was coming.
Apple store reset the logic board and P-RAM. 2 different firewire cables were used and 2 different camcorders. Canon says its camcorder is not meant to be used for accepting DV in through its firewire port, even though it has done so successfully for the year and a half I've had this model.
The firewire connection FROM the camcorder to the computer is successfully allowing import of footage, as always.
So how do FCP X users connect their computers so they can see their timeline and importing clips on a TV monitor for optimal playback? If Canon is to be believed, for some crazy reason the Vixia HV30 is "not designed" to receive that input. I wonder about the Mac, for which I just bought a new video card a month ago, but everything was functioning with that new card for several weeks.
FCP X is still editing fine--I just need to see it play back on a TV monitor.
Thanks in advance.

I guess moving from Premiere to FCP X is like moving to another country with a very different culture. What is confusing is that for several months FCPX did very satisfactorily output along my firewire right through the camcorder onto my TV monitor. But I guess I should get used to the FCP way of doing things. In any case, I'll have to chalk up the brief success with firewire output to a fluke and stop trying to make the program do things the way I was used to. So I do appreciate that enlightening info; it was probably FCP 101 material but as a very experienced editor with Premiere it still caught me by surprise.
Thanks,
JT

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

  • Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013

    I recently upgraded from 2010 to 2013.  When the contacts moved over i cannot find all of the information like anniversary date that was in the details tab of 2010.  Is there an icon or setting that i am missing to see all of this previous information?

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013, then please follow these steps: -
    After switch from Outlook 2010 to 2013, simply press
    CTRL+3 to see an overview of all your Contacts folders. If the folder is there and holds your contacts, then either the folder has not been set as an
    Outlook Address Book or Outlook Address Book Service is broken in your mail profile.
    If the contacts are not in the contact folder, then you either forgot to select the folder when creating an export, or didn’t select the folder when importing the
    PST-File. You can take a fresh copy of your backup or the pst-file that you imported from.
    Then connect to the pst-file in Outlook via:
    File > Open > Open Outlook Data File
    Now, check the contacts folder again. If you did not find your Contacts in that pst-file, you can select them all
    (CTRL+A) and move them (CTRL+SHIFT+V) or copy them
    (CTRL+SHIFT+Y) to your main contact folder.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library

    I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs.  I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
    The import process ran OK.  When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
    I repeated the process - same result.  Nothing in my music library.
    What should I do?

    Re: [iPod classic] - Re: Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library
    Thu, Feb 09, 2012 08:01 PM
    When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
    When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up.  The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing  the song by title".  Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen.  iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
    This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs.  The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
    Thanks

  • Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

    Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

    Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
    A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
    About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
    Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
    Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least.

  • When using iMessage from Mac it shows email, not phone number

    When I text people from iMessage on my MacBook Pro it is showoing my email address, not my phone number on the reciever's end.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi Hannah_MS,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has information on choosing the address you start conversations from:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
    Cheers,

  • ICal Events on my mac not showing in reminders after upgrading to mountain lion

    after upgrading to mountin lion, all calenders on my mac are not showing in the reminders app, only calenders on icloud. The irony is all calenders created on my mac have been reclassified on iCloud. This was done automatically during the last upgrade and I chose to have my calenders on iCloud, so now they are listed twice in the iCal, however, there seems to be a difference between entries. For instance if I turn off the work calender on my mac, different things are removed than if I turn of the work calender on iCloud - i don't understand how or why this happens. In Reminders those very same calenders that are listed as iCloud on the iCal are listed as "on my mac" in the Reminder app and do not show anything. The only calenders on the Reminders app that appear under "iCloud" are the ones that I created on my iPhone. All these calenders are showing the correct entries.
    SO far not terribly impressed with Mountian Lion. I am also annoyed that it seems that I can no longer view all my entries from calender tasks at the same time like I used to be able to with Lion. This was very useful. It is now terribly inconvenient to have to check each calender and list in turn (I have nine) to be reminded, unlike in Lion with the list just to the side of iCal.
    Any help with the above problem?

    In the mailbox panel move your cursor slowly down the right hand side . Should reveal show and hide.

  • Music from iPod not showing up on new computer

    I recently purchased a MacBook after using iTunes with an HP laptop. Once I hooked my iPod up to my new Mac, many songs that I downloaded from sources other than iTunes and from CDs I had burned onto my iPod did not show up in my new iTunes.
    Also, any new music I purchase from iTunes, if I want to put them onto my iPod, iTunes tells me that I must erase all other files before adding my new purchases.
    Ideally I would like to keep all of the existing music from my old iPod and have it transfered to my new iTunes library.
    What do I do?!

  • Files saved to iomega NAS device from Mac not visible to PCs

    I'm using my MacBook in a primarily Windows environment at work. We have an Iomega NAS device for our network file sharing.
    Some, but not all, of the files I save to the network share from my Mac are not visible to PCs. Am able to see all the files out there saved by the PCs via the Mac, but not all files saved by the Mac are visible by PCs (ie, they show up in Finder/Mac but not in Explorer/PC).
    Details:
    - Mac OS X 10.6.2
    - iomega StorCenter ix2 Network Storage Device (NAS)
    - Netgear Router (details unknown)
    All other network works fine from the Mac -- can see shared PCs, can use network attached printer, access the Internet, see all the shared folders on the NAS device.
    Happens with all types of files (MS Office documents, JPGs, GIFs, PDFs), but not for every documents. Probably 3 out of 4 documents saved to NAS device from Mac are visible to PCs on the network, and 1 out of 4 is not visible.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    OS X 10.4.8 update has not altered the behavior of this bug. The Office 2004 11.30 update seems to have caused the problem to happen less frequently. I would say it now happens half as frequently.

  • Photos from iPhone not showing on iMac

    I have taken several pictures today with my iPhone and after several hours, they are not showing in Photos on my iMac.  Pictures that I have imported to the iMac are showing on the iPhone.  I have set up both devices to use iCloud and both devices appear to be set correctly.
    How long should it take for pictures from iPhone to appear on the iMac?
    Help!!
    Thanks!

    A couple of thoughts here - have you updated both devices to latest OS operating system? Then make sure that you have signed out of iCloud on both devices at the same time.  You might check to see if you have any photos on the iCloud website as well.  If you do, decide if you want to deleter them or not?  I used my iMac as the base file since it had all of my picture history.  When this is done, turn on iCloud Photo on your Mac either using System Preferences or opening Photos and turning in iCloud Photo.  If you have a large number of photos and videos, the sync process the first time is going to take time. I have over 9500 pics and videos in my collection, and it took almost 4 days to get through this.  Also - check to make sure you do not have energy saving settings that disconnect the Mac during this process.  Let it run - it should complete.  You can check progress in Photos and see when this is done.  Then when all photos and videos are sync'd,, then turn on the iPhone and let it run until done.  This will also take time depending on the size of your file.
    If you are not getting connected - make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account.
    Here's hoping this might work!

  • BLUETOOTH only picks up signal from mac computers but nothing else???

    does anyone have any suggestions as to getting my iphone to pick up other signals from cell phones or headsets via bluetooth every time i try and search for a device nothing happens but when its near a mac computer it conveniently picks up a signal???

    You won't pick up bluetooth from another cell phone since the iPhone does not include the bluetooth profile for transferring files or data with a cell phone or with a computer, but you should be able to pair your iPhone with a bluetooth headset that is set to be discovered.

  • DNG files exported from LR4 not showing changes made when opened in PSE10?

    I have LR4, and once I make some develop changes I've been exporting the files I want to use as DNG.  I then open them in PSE10 to make final edits.  It's been working fine, actually I had an older version of Adobe Raw in my PSE on my other computer.  So when I opened in PSE it would ask if I wanted to conver to compatible version to edit in camera raw.  I always said no b/c I didn't need to do anymore raw edits.  Now that I have installed PSE on my new computer, it has the new ACR version I guess.  When I open the DNGs to edit now I no longer get this error message, but it's showing my contrast, etc. as a standard raw setting instead of the changes I made in LR.  Some are showing....like vibrance, but "recovery" which I know is "highlights" in LR, and other things are not showing correctly.  I know that the options are different, but I don't want to use the ACR settings that it's using when I open the file, or have to go through them again.  I'm sure there's something I'm missing but can't figure it out.  Thanks for any help!

    I quite simply did not comment on the issue of "it is supposed to be better to keep DNG files as opposed to NEF files now, right?"
    The issue you raised in your original post, and the issue of choosing DNG versus NEF, are completely separate and independent.
    The issue of transferring photos to PSE would cause the exact same problems in your case whether or not you use DNG or NEF.
    On the issue of converting photos from NEF to DNG, there are advantages and disadvantages, some people do and some people don't. If you'd like to know more, I suggest you search this forum, there are plenty of discussions on this topic.
