Elgato video to USB has become unreliable after shutdowns and restarts

I have Yosemite 10.10 on an early 2009 iMac, and an Elgato Video capture device with latest software (1.1.5)
The messages "Device could not be initialized" and also "Please connect your Elgato Video capture hardware to any USB 2.0 port" come up after I have had a shutdown and restart.
For 2 or 3 years i have operated this system with no trouble, but as the iMac software became upgraded, and also the Elgato S/W upgraded, the problem has come up, so now I am reluctant to shut down.  However, there are times it must be, such as when the power company shuts service down for maintenance - happens a lot lately.  I have tried different ports, and done the unplug and replug routine, but it takes dozens or even hundreds of attempts until one time it works.  then i have to be sure not to "quit" after a recording session, or the problem comes up all over again. Also I tried using a USB hub, with no success.  Also, I have tried to reset of the USB bus routine (Command-Option-P and R keys during startup) with no success.

Get rid of CleanMyMac and DivX. Add much more RAM. You don't have nearly enough for all that you are trying to load.

    When I try to open iPhoto I get a window dialog that says...

    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
    No change.
    I dee nothing but a blank page,
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Also hace back ups of all images on cd's. dvds and jump drives.
    Any advice is appreciated.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone. I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery"

    Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone 5S with new ios 8's program . I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery" thing but it doesn't save in gallery. I tried all, restarting my phone, rebooting then turning on the save automatically thing and when I watch it again, it still wouldn't save.

    Probably a good question to ask Viber or look at their support site.

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

  • Firewire & USB ports still powered after Shutdown

    Hi. I just got one of the G5 Quads. Ive noticed that the USB and Firewire ports remain powered after I have shutdown the machine. Never happened on my old G4. Does anybody know if this is normal? I have H&K soundsticks plugged into one USB port and they make loud popping noises for 10-20 seconds after shutdown and my two Lacie D2's in the Firewire 800 also remain powered. On odd occasions they continue to spin after shutdown. I don't want to have to unmount them everytime I switch off. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hello butterfinger
    Have notice same thing… with our past G5 2ghz (1st generation) it was not like this.
    I wonder now too why. The thing is when an isight is connected, it never goes off really, still warm all the time even if the PM is down…
    off course it appens also with my D2 (first gen. too). It's funny i did not know that the blue light was able to power off the drive…
    If youhave more info sometimes … I will also appreciate any advice…

    Hi Thomas,
    I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
    Thanks for identifying this issue!
    In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .
    Cheers,

    I'm trying to install windows 8 on mac, but after partitioning and restarting, it stucks on blue logo and i waited 20 minutes but nothing happened, what can i do, please help.

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

    LOL.. don't switch off the TC.. this is fairly typical behaviour..
    Or try a different usb hub.. but you could well and truly run out of hubs before you fix the problem.
    Are you running latest firmware for your TC?
    What error message is coming up in the airport utility.. amber led is a fault indicator.. look up what the actual fault is and see if it is for instance overloading the usb. You are using a powered hub??
    Get one bigger USB hard disk instead of 3 smaller ones.

  • IMessage has become unreliable?

    Has anyone else noticed that iMessage has become horribly unreliable in the past few weeks?
    I regularly use iMessage to chat with friends, and my account is activated on an iPhone 5S, iPad Mini and two Macs running Mavericks. Until a few weeks ago every time I got a message it would appear on all devices and I could answer from any which is very convenient.
    However lately the messages will appear only on my phone, then suddenly if I reply from the Mac it will 'catch up' and start working again, but if there's a pause in the conversation before another text arrives it will appear only on the phone again. Obviously I've done the usual signout/signin to no avail. Messages are being sent to the phone number not e-mail address, and yes they are ALL blue ie all going over iMessage not SMS.
    I believe Apple made some server change to address people who move from iOS to e.g. Android but seem to have completely broken iMessage for the rest of us in the meantime.

    Working fine for me.
    I would try resetting your iOS devices (the "reset all settings" option).

  • Roxio (or ElGato) video capture USB for FCP input, anyone?

    Hello,
    I have a Roxio video capture device to transfer VHS tapes to MPEG-2 . It plugs in a USB port, and works with specific software (Easy VHStoDVD). I wonder if there's any way this input could be recognized by FCP. I also have a Canopus box to digitalize directly to FCP, but this box doesn't recognize the NTSC tapes I have (I live in Europe, PAL system) correctly, color is lost with my current VHS player, whereas the Roxio converter does get the NTSC signal. The problem is that the MPEG quality is low, and I'd like to digitalize directly into Apple ProRes codec instead of doing an MPEG-2 to Apple ProRes conversion.
    Any tip about how to transfer this signal? Or is it the case that the Roxio device signal is already MPEG-2 (at 6000 kpbs), so there's no point in inputting it into FCP? I believe the same device produces a better-quality MPEG-2 file in the Windows version of the software, so this may be software-related.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi
    My thoughts - close to this - but not cheaper.
    I bought the ADVC-300 - my VHS tapes are several years and drop-outs are not rare.
    This has a Timecode correction/mending and result is that it needs less baby-sitting.
    Just a though to add in when deciding what suits You best.
    Yes I'm very happy with this one - Yes the pay was not without hurt.

  • Firefox has become corrupted after update

    Well...the title or were the question should be says it all, it happened not to long ago like 5 min. ago after a routine up date firefox didn't open. I figured well this has happened before so I went through the usual and restarted my computer, that didn't work, I uninstalled and tried to reinstall that didn't work either afterwards every time I tried to install aftter installing, it said "windows is searching for firefox.exe, to locate this file your self click browse" when I clicked where the firefox icon should be.
    I did browse and I found firefox's folder, thing is it had no executable file so I uninstalled again, every time I did so it said "an error occured while trying to uninstall mozilla firefox 13.0.1 (d86 en-US) it may have already been uninstalled" which is strange it did not tell me that the first time I tried and after many re-installations. I went through my files and found were mozillas folder was at apparently it did not install or uninstall so I proceeded to delete everything not before I backed up my profile (at least I think I did).
    When I got down to the last item in the folder which was another folder it did not want to uninstall the name of that folder was "uninstall" (yes I know inception who what of guessed) turns out the file had corrupted every time I tried to delet it said "An unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the folder.
