External A/V message pops up when opening FCP

It says:
Unable to locate the following external devices:
Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)
I know this means that it can't find the tape deck (which is what I'm using) but I don't really understand why.
(I just want to mention the fact that I am using my school's facilities so everything, minus my external hard drive, was already hooked up)
I shut down everything and made sure no cords were loose and then turned everything back on but I'm still getting the same message when I open up FCP.
If you need any more info I will be happy to give it to you, just bare in mind that I'm not too good with this stuff so you'll have to be reallllly specific

Also make sure that the deck is turned on before you open FCP.
restart the computer. I know this is basic but it is always the first thing I tell friends who are new to this to do as it eliminates a few problems and helps me to know where we are at... If the deck is on and the fresh restart still doesn't see it and you have done what the previous poster said it may be a bad cable, or a setting on the deck.
Keep checking here as the people who are pros here really are very helpful!
I am sure someone will be able to help.
post back with what you have tried s far.
do you have someone on hand who has used this deck and mac successfully that you could ask them as well?
what type of deck are you using?

    Hi
    Based on the instance number of the servers, you can determine the gateway to be used.
    IF your ECC instance number is , 01 then gateway would be , sapgw01 (in ECC system)
    So check and change the settings accordingly, in the RFC connection. Also check, if this entry sapgw01 is made in /etc/service file. Also check, in transaction smgw for gateway parameters.
    Hope this info helps,

  • TS1307 "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". This message pops up when trying to mail photos from iPhoto. How do I fix it?

    "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

    Thanks for helping Christeneau.  You helped me too...eventually.  I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
    I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
    I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using".  What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar.  This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
    It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
    James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
    Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe!  E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
    Thanks again for you help.

    Hi there
    I've noticed more than few posts about this since Captivate 4
    was released.
    Are you by chance using Windows Vista 64 bit? Seems most that
    have reported this issue have been using that version.
    Please report it to Adobe as a bug.

    Hi all,

    Some of the authors stating that its showing an pop-up when they open the PDF's:
    We opened the same document in Acrobat 6,7,8 & 9. Professional and Reader. We did't get the above said message.
    Are the authors using the outdated version of acrobat which was not compitable for "comment enable".

  • Constant message pop up when trying to back up a page with back arrow - "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

    To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Pop up message comes up when trying to use back arrow.

    You can't suppress that alert.
    You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form. The only way that Firefox can make sure to get the same page is by resending that POST form. Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
    The only way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click. Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

  • Error message from web - when opening pdf files

    Hi,
    I receive the following error message a lot when I try to open an educational pdf file from the web.  What do I need to do to 1. see, 2. print and 3. save these type of educational pdf files from the web?  I am using a MacBookPro OS X.
    Thanks for your help and sorry I could not find an answer on the forum. 
    Example:  I try to import or download MIT18_06SCF11_Ses3.5sum 2.pdf onto my desktop - which seems successful.  However when I try to open this file, I get the following error message.:
    "Adobe Reader could not open 'MIT18_06SCF11_Ses3.5sum 2.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."

    Yes i tried following your list of commands and got the same error from MyMathLab by Pearson Publishing or the other link.  I'm beginning to wonder if they are protected. 
    As you probably guess - I am not computer savvy.  I will take my laptop to school tomorrow and ask another student. 
    Thanks for your followup.

  • Message tab missing when opening emails in Outlook 2013

    Hello,
    I have a client where their Message tab will sometimes disappear when opening a new email message window. They have to reboot the application to get the message tab to display again. It's pretty intermittent so it's hard to replicate at the snap of my fingers.
    There are no errors in Event Viewer and all add-ins are acting correctly. Has anyone seen this or knows what to look for?
    Thanks. 

    Hi,
    Are you using a custom form when creating a new email message? If so, please try clearing the form cache and then check if this issue will happen again. To do this, please follow:
    1. Click File > Options > Advanced
    2. Scroll to the Developers section, click Custom Forms button.
    3. Click Manage Forms button.
    4. Click Clear Cache button.
    In addition, we can also try resetting your Ribbon to see if it helps. To do this, click New Email button to open a new email, click File > Options > Customize Ribbon, click Reset > Reset all customizations.
    Please let me know the result.

  • Please Help. Message pops up when I try to connect my blackberry z10 to Linc.

    Please help.
    I downloaded the Linc Software and also restarted the computer numerous times. 
    Each time when I try to connect my blackberry z10 to my computer the following message pops up:
    "Files Needed
    The file 'rndismpx sys' on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD is needed.
    Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."
    Please help I have no idea how to make my new z10 connect to the Linc because this message keeps poping up and I don't have any CD's.
    Thanks so much.

    Never give up:  Unininstall Link then do a search and remove all BB and Link files.
    Reinstall Link, if you still have the same issue uninstall Link and all BB files.
    Depending on what you want to do attaching phone and computer BB Device Manager might be sufficiant
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Z10/DIAL-KEYBOARD/td-p/2662937
    If you do install BB Device Manager and have the same issue it could be computer related.
    Before doing the above check to see if you have the file    rndismpx.sys   on your system, it is located here:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers     probablly not there.
    Two choices: uninstall SP3 and reinstall  or find the file on another computer copy it then paste it in the location mentioned above.
    XP is 12 years old and normally OS is supported for 8 years but was extended for 4 years.
    April 8 2014 all support for XP ends, that means no more Security or any Updates.
    Eventually you will have to get a new computer. Only 4 months left.
    You could check again on the Web for that file, it should be available.

  • How to prevent BIP login screen pop-up when opening  BIP report from Dashbo

    Hi
    My customer linked BI Publisher report on the Dashboard page by setting
    "Embedded Content" as "http://172.18.1.91:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/report".
    Customer could open Dashboard directly(just login Dashboard. no need to login BIP) until applied patch 13399232.
    After applied this patch,BIP login scrren pop-up everytime when opening dashboard.
    Customer's BIP is 10.1.3.4.
    Is there any way to prevent BIP login pop-up?
    I tested in my BIP 10.1.3.4 enviroment which patch 13399232 doesn't be applied in.
    I got the different behaviour with customer's.
    I have to login BIP everytime when I openning dashboard.
    The only difference between my setting with Customer's is that I added
    "Embedded Content" as http://jpdel1203.jp.oracle.com:7777/xmlpserver/~administrator/Test/Test.xdo (It's hostname not IP address)
    Is there sth i should set between BIP and dashboard ?
    Does anyone kindly advise it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards
    Liying

    Check your BIP integration with Analytics: BIP Admin integration with SAW. Ensure the user and password to proxy into BIP from BIEE is correct.
