DV8 1090ev - connecting camcorder to firewire port - nothing happens

I'm trying to capture video to the hard disc by connecting my canon dv20 camcorder to the notebook using the ieee1394 port, but when I switch on the camera, nothing happens. I can't see it in the device manager. I replaced the cable already to no avail.
Could someone please help?
many thanks

I had the same problem w/ my panasonic. This may be too simple but I think the firewire plug in dv8 is too recessed. I tried many times before realizing that it wasn't really plugged in all the way even though it sure seemed like it was.

IChat shows "Connecting..." but nothing happens

Hi,
All of a sudden my iChat won't connect. It just shows "Connecting..." but nothing happens, not even a timout message.
I tried:
-- Running Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions
-- Deleting the .plist and files in Preferences and Library
-- Deleting iChat items in Keychain
-- Connecting through port 443 instead of the default and also disabling SSL
-- Removing iChat and reinstalling from the Leopard DVD with Optional Installs
Nothing has worked. I tried connecting to my AIM and .Mac accounts through Adium and it works.
It's my AIM and .Mac accounts that won't work. I tried my Google Talk account in iChat and it works ok.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
When you start at the Discussion index Page you se folders next to the Category names.
When you get inside some categories you have the Forums at the top then a list of the most recent posts.
If you go to a thread directly you miss the top of the Forum where the "Post New Topic" spot is.
In a thread use the option to return to Topic List.
She will have to go to iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts and the Security tab and check she is Allowing the (Buddy's) Screen name. (And not Blocking it).
The other thing to check is to make sure the Screen Name is spelt right.
Can she see the Screen Name or other details in the Buddy List.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

HT4061 my iphone 4s is in a coma, my sleep button does not work and when i connect it to my charger nothing happens, help!

my iphone 4s unexpectedly stopped working, it wont turn on and my sleep key has not worked in months so i am unable to reboot the phone by holding the sleep key and home button . all i see is a black screen that is lit. when i connect it to the charger nothing happens. please help me!

There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Make an appointment at any Apple store, an out of warranty replacement is US $199 for an iPhone 4S. It that's too much money, find a third-party repair service. But, be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you void all support from Apple & forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement. Also, since Apple does not sell parts, there is no way to determine if any parts used to fix your phone are genuine or knock offs.

Are you trying to restore as new or from a back up? Is iTunes and your computer all up to date?

HT1438 my iphone 4 just won't power up, it was half battery when it shut down, have tried charging or connect with my MacBook still nothing happen?

my iphone 4 just won't power up, it had half battery when it power off, tried connecting to my Macbook still nothing happen, what's the reason?

Try holding both the on and off buttons(top and bottom of phone) at the same time and keep holding until the apple sign comes up then let go and wait, worth a try.

HT1596 connect camcorder to FireWire 400 port

What do I need to connect an HD miniDV camcorder to FireWire 400 port?
thanks

Hi a,
It has to have a FW400 or FW800 port, then you just need a FW400 to FW400 cable or FW800 to FW400 cable. If it has USB, then that's what you have to use.

A135 S-4527 wont recognize camcorder over firewire port

The firewire port is identified in Device Manager as 'Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller'. There is also a 1394 Net Adapter under Network Adapters. (Everything working properly in Device manager). I am trying to connect my sony DCR-TRV 250 camcorder usin 4 pin - 4 pin cable to firewire port, but it is not detected. However, this camcorder works well with my desktop where I connect it using 4 pin-6pin cable as desktop has 6 pin connector. I have already tried followings,
1) 3 different 4-4 pin cables.
2) Connecting external firewire DVD writer which is also not recognized by laptop.
3) Vista, XP SP1, SP2.
4) Different camcorder (Canon) with 3-3 pin cable for no luck.
Do I have dead firewire port (But in device manager it is detected and working properly). OR do I need to take any steps to make it work. Somebody Please Help.

Oh, I also formated the hard drive from my MBP. I wrote 0's on the entire drive. I don't mind doing any formating because I have a TimeMachine backup.

Sony digital8 camcorder via firewire port, is it digital or analog?

hi all,
I was successful to view & record from my Sony digital8 cam via firewire port. I'd like to know, is this connection analog or digital? Has anyone been successful to record, back up and edit their precious home videos on a G4 PowerMac? And how many DVD discs will it take on a full Digital8 cartridge?
Thanks for your help
Web dude

is this connection analog or digital?
A Firewire port is all digital.
Has anyone been successful to record, back up and edit their precious home videos on a G4 PowerMac?
Yes. Before the G5 came out, many people used G4s (and some still do) to edit not only home videos, but commercial television programs as well.
how many DVD discs will it take on a full Digital8 cartridge?
A standard DVD-5 (single layer disc) will hold about two hours of DVD-Video ... video AFTER it's been properly compressed to meet the DVD-Video standard.
However, if you're asking about raw footage (not compressed more than it was recorded), you should be able to get close to 14 minutes of footage per 4.7gb disc. Digital8 uses the DV codec which requires about 13.3gb per hour of footage. If you recorded the tape in SP mode, you should be able to get just over 1 hour of footage per tape.

Connected emac to tv but nothing happening

Hi
i've bought cables as discussed in topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1846551&tstart=0
i've connected cables but nothing is happening.
is there anything i should be doing in system prefs or somewhere else ?
any advice welcome

hi thanks for feed back -
re: airport extreme
I didnt know it was also a card as well as a base station - i accept what you say about the airport extreme CARD internal emac technology being somehow connected to mini-VGA port - though i'm inclined to think it indicates the target models of emac rather than a direct technical inter-dependance - tho i stand corrected. Mine is a pre extreme airport card emac model, requiring only the Apple airport card which slotted under the panel of the superdrive.
re: Apple video adaptor M91096/A- my feedback here is :
1. There is no info on apple support docs about non compatability of this adaptor with emacs but there is for the (now defunct) Apple video adaptor M8734G/A - which is confusing.
2. The Apple video adaptor M91096/A has a mini-VGA connector which is misleading because these are only on certain older e/mac models - but it's wrong to assume that just because i/you have a mini-VGA port that it's going to work. People are automatically recommending the use of this adapter but not mentioning it's compatability issue in relation to the internal graphic card which is an issue nowhere plainly stated in any supoort docs or packaging but seems to be widley understood as the measure of if it will work or not.
3. There is mis-match in the names used to identify the ports and connectors in support docs.
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3014
says that the emac has a VGA port - but it is also (correctly ?) known as a 'mini-VGA' port.
- http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9109G/A
the video adaptor in question identifies it has a 'mini VGA' connection but does not explain the issue of your emac /mac not being internally capable of utilising the adaptor.
- http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MjE0ODQ2Mg
is often confusingly spoken of as the same product as the M9109G/A video adaptor elsewhere but is infact only a lead to connect to an external monitor to enable basic mirroring.
Q.
1.In terms of mini-VGA port capability - am i right in assuming there are only the two leads mentioned above ?
2. Re: Rod's last post above - answer 2, - the 'scan convertor' set up would be because my tv is a glass tube style monitor (?) - but if i had an LCD or flatscreen - i'm assuming it would be plug and play. I've had a brief look at the world of scan convertors - it seems i could buy myself a cheap LCD monitor or even a new tv for the same price as a scan convertor !
3.Re: Rod's last post above - answer 2 - 'DVI output capable' meaning DVA via the MINI-VGA port because of more powerful graphics card ..? Because i can in/output DV via firewire and usb..
4. I notice the length of the VGA adaptor M8639G/A is tiny - i am assuming i can get basic extention cables to attatch to it ..?
folks thanks for your sttention i hope the advice here claifies for others..

Installing laserjet cp 1525nw software "connect usb cable now" but nothing happens

My laserjet CP1525nw is connected by USB to my desktop PC and now I am trying to connect it to my laptop. I get to the point in the install process where it wants me to "connect the product" but when I connect the USB cord to the laptop nothing happens. My USB ports work fine for everything else and I have tried all three.

Connect to iTunes and restore the device.
It may be necessary to place the device in DFU mode (google it).

TS1369 my ipod has a charger on its screen pointing to a itunes symbol I have tried to connecting it to itunes but nothing happens

My ipod has a charger on its screen pointing to a itunes symbol I have tried connecting it to itunes but nothing seems to happen.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Connecting Camcorder to Firewire disables Firewire bus

I have a strange problem:
My Canon MVX350i yet worked without any problems with my Intel iMac (Dec 2007).
Since I rebooted with the camcorder powered on and connected by firewire cable, I have huge problems.
Connecting the camcorder now disables somehow the firewire bus completely. E.g. firewire disks are disconnected just like unplugged while running and the camcorder will also not be recognized as video device.
What happened at this unfaithfull reboot?
I already deleted the preferences from my user account and I also reset the PRAM. Nothing helped.
The camcorder is still ok, because I can use it *without problems* on my *MacBook Pro*. Due to this fact, somethings *must not be ok now on the iMac*.
Interessting fact: Connecting my other video device, a Canon HV30, makes not problems.
Q: How can I make my MVX350i also working again?
Any hints are very welcome and will really be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Roland

I too have been experiencing a problem like this with my Canon XL2. When plug in the XL2 using a firewire 4pin-6pin cable into the Firewire 400 port, it disables my firewire 800 external HD (i.e. disconnects it as if i just pulled the cable out). However, i can still use them separately, but not at the same time. I am unable to load any video directly to my external devices. I was able to do this with my old Powerbook G4, but not with my new iMac. Also, the USB devices interfere with connecting my camcorder, as if the computer doesn't even recognize the XL2 until all other devices are removed.
