FCE and FCE HD Firewire Connection Issues

Hello, I just recently cleaned out my hard drive and reinstalled Tiger 10.4.11. I reinstalled all my previous applications with out any problems, but I had an issue with both versions of FCE. For some reason it won't recognize my firewire port. I don't know if there was something else I had to do to get it to recognize. The cable is fine and the camera, because I got it to work with my Power Mac G4 last night, but it doesn't work for my laptop. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt

All HDV is MPEG-2 based. It's an HDV tape camera. The problem is QT7.4 and the older version of FCE. Some people have got this to work. I don't know how, but many others have had problems using that and older versions of FCE and newer versions of QuickTime, 7.3 and probably 7.4 as well.

My iPad2(Wifi-16Gb) unable to connect to home wifi network after upgraded to iOS6. The said network is a remembered network and never face this connection issue before iOS6.

Forget and reconnect the netwrok doean't solve the problem.
Even Network Reset recommended in others iPad user in the forum can't help as well.
Please advice. Thanks.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

What's the difference between FCE and FCE HD?

I'm thinking about getting Final Cut Express 4. I was poking around on Ebay and noticed that some were selling Final Cut Express HD and others were selling just Final Cut Express 4. Is there a difference? If so, what?
Thanks.

Back in 2005, FCE 3 was introduced with the name "FCE HD" simply to show that it could also edit HDV material which was quite rare then.
Nowadays we take it for granted that editing apps can deal with HDV and AVCHD so it is no longer necessary to advertise the fact.
For your info the only versions of FCE that have been produced are FCE 1 (that was simply called FCE), FCE 2, FCE 3, FCE 3.5 and FCE 4, though please note that these are not the names used on the boxes!

WRT160n and Xbox 360 Internet connection issues

I just got this router and it is working fine in getting connection but me and my roommates are having issues with the NAT type when playing xbox. As far as i know, two are hooked into the LAN via ethernet cable and the other is using wireless. When playing we all experience different levels of NAT type, Strict, Moderate, and Open. Is there a way to set up the router so that the NAT will stay open for all of us at the same time. The only way to get that now is to unplug the router just as we want to get on and play.

Any results with Leopard (10.5.7) and camcorder DV firewire connection?

Hello all,
Issue:
My Panasonic pv-gs150 (SD MiniDV Camcorder) connected to my MBP via firewire is not recognized by system profiler (red warning). In turn, FCE4 and iMovie 09 are unresponsive to the camcorder once attached.
Thus far I've isolated that it is NOT
The camcorder (captured for years on iMovie 06 on my Tiger ibook)
The firewire cable (swapped out twice)
The firewire port on MBP (External HD via Time Machine is recognized and works)
Anything else I should try??
I understand the typical responses to camcorder forum questions from countless searches. (firewire not USB, VCR mode, proper steps to capture) But have seen that Leopard seems to be culprit to many Mac users with DV camcorders.
I've read that v10.5.2 was good to go with no DV issues or there was a patch or some sort of work around. But all my leads are drying up here. I can't find a clear response anywhere. Or am I losing my mind on this one...?
Thanks for helping!

Hi
I have exactly the same problem on my brand new iMac.My Sony DCR-HC19SE DV camcorder does not work at all: not listed on System Profiler which gives WARNING Firewire devices cannot be listed. iMovie 08 does not see it either. There was no problem using Tiger on a G4 PPC: the Sony was seen by all relevant software (Toast, HyperEngine AV,) and Profiler.
Is this progress a la Apple??
Please help, I am stuck. Already done reset of Firewire bus, vram reset,etc. as recommended on another forum: no success.
This is very frustrating and Apple seems to have a problem in Leopard 10.5.7 with firewire according to other forums.
Hope somebody at Apple can give a solution to this one!!!
Frustrated because Apple was believed to be better than others!!!
MAYBE I REVERT TO LINUX OR TIGER???

T60p and T61 LAN adapter connection issues

Hi all,
Strange issue concerning LAN adapter on both T60p and T61. Either thinkadvantage laptop is at a different remote location connected to headquarters via a ptp link(fibre). This remote link has been updated recently. DHCP is assigned from main officeto all user locally and at the two remote sites.
For some very strange reaso, these both laptops are the only systems at the remote site that cannot get assigend ip settings via DHCP. Also if I manually assign them static ip settings, (the limited or no connectivity icon disappears) which i presumed but there is still no connectivity to these two laptops via ping cmds etc.
Even more strange is when these laptops are brought to back to headquarters and are plugged into the network here, they get assigned ip settings like they should and everything works like it should.
Also all the other systems at the remote sites get their ip settings dynamically like they should.
The LAN adapters are intel
I have reinstalled drivers, used winsock repair tools and also plugged the laptops directly into the fibre swtich on the dedicated vlan port that connects to the local swtich at the sites. Still same syptom
I am very confused at the moment and would appreciate any advice or solution. At the moment I believe its how the network card communicates with the protocol on link maybe there is an issue. I am not sure. Appreciate any input guys/gals

Hi,
Do you enable ESB email notification in ESB Control for your ESB system and mail still not received?
Some errors cannot be caught by ESB email notification (for example, you use polling DB-adapter and provide a incorrect login password and so on, you can use rejection handlers for this type of errors. I not implemented this yet in our system but think it should work).
Errors raised when you ESB-process already started - may be caught.
You will receive email with flow_id, initial payload and error message (if didn't use asynchronous calls: bug 7616012 - error message is empty when error raised after asynchronous service invocation in 10.1.3.3 (can be not visible..)).
Best Regards,
Mikhail.

3750 switch and HP switch fiber connectivity issue

I have connected 2 Cisco 3750 switches "WS-C3750-48TS-S" with the LC to LC Duplex Single Mode fiber cable. Both the switches are communicating with each other.
As i have checked in the cisco document that GLC-SX-MM support only Multimode fiber cable. So i am surprised how does it support single mode fiber optic cable.
Can anyone tell me the reason for supporting single mode fiber optic cable?
But when i connect HP 4208 switch with the same Cisco 3750 the interface is showing up but the input packets are 0 and output packets are increasing on both ends.
I have checked the SFP's and fiber cable are compatible with HP.
Can anybody suggest me what can be the possible cause of this?
Regards,

I tried to troubleshoot this issue by using some show commands.
As i have checked that there are some specific commands to check SFP transreceiver as given below:
show hw-module subslot slot/subslottransceiver port idprom.
show interfaces {{[int_name] transceiver {[detail]} | {transceiver [module mod] | detail [module mod]}}
But these commands support only those transreceivers which support DOM. GLC-SX-MM doesn't support DOM.
Can anyone tell me that are there some troubleshoting commands to solve out the issue?

You View and Sony Bravia HDMI connection issues

For what it is worth I though I would post a solution that has worked which solved compatability issues between some Sony Bravia TV's and YouView boxes.
I have used a YouView box with no problem via a SCART on an old TV
I invested in a Sony Bravia - installed today by John Lewis
The YouView was only recognised by the Bravia if it was switched on by the power switch - once on it bringing it out of standby via the remote and selecting the input on the Bravia would only lead to a Blank Screen on the Sony (it would also not swiitch automatically to the input the YouView was on).
Long discussion with Sony followed and Sony said "most" of their TV's would recognise YouView via HDMI - but some had "unexplained" compatability issues - when asked what I should do the Sony man said if this was important I should ask John Lewis to change the set.......
Helpful discussion with John Lewis support - I did not want to change the set and JL suggeted connecting the YouView to the Sony HDMI via an HDMI "switch" box - only connecting the YouView to the switch box. (It seems that the Sony will recognise the switch - but not the YouView directly....)
Bought a Switch from Maplin (HSW0501BN) - connected YouView to the switch and the switch to Sony Bravia TV via HDMI - and it works brilliantly.....
Turning the YouView on/off via the remote from standby changes the input source to the YouView on the Sony - and it has always been recognise by the Sony - no more blank screens.
A pain in the neck for a new TV - clearly a problem with some Sony Bravia TV's and YouView - it would be nice if both YouView (Humax) and Sony could talk together to fix it....
But for now it seems the intermediate switch gets over the issue.
I thought this was worth sharing in case anyone else has the same issue - I cannot say it will work for every-one - but it worked for me - thanks to John Lewis support.............
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
It's a SONY KD-55X-8505BBU -- It's the "lo-spec" 4K model and works brilliantly.
The SONY man said "most" of their TV's work with YouView HDMI - but they have had some instances of incompatability and could do nothing about it.............
The YouView worked with the SONY - but it needed to be switched on and off for the HDMI to recognise it - I temporarily ran it through the SCART - which worked OK (to which the SONY man asked why I was concerned if it worked with a SCART!!!)
The advice from John Lewis was great - just connected the YouView HDMI to a HDMI switch box - and connected the swirch box to the SONY - it all works fine now.
It just seems that SONY are not aware (or are not prepared to tell you) the solution - and only higher level John Lewis staff are aware of this (the John Lewis installer was stumped).
Not sure anyone else will have the problem (although I have seen several reports of this on the web) - and I am happy with the solution - just wish the (paid for) installers knew - and that SONY knew/or were prepared to tell you (guess they did not want to be asked for the price of the HDMI to cure the "incompatability" problem).
I was so amazed at the poor response from SONY and I asked them to confirm that the call was recorded and took the recording number - needless to say John Lewis was not impressed with Sony telling me that the only solution was to send the set back to John Lewis -- Sony have suffered a big drop in my estimation - although the TV is brilliant......

It seems my issue was with the Firewire connection with the

I am having an issue with my Ipod and 20inch display firewire connection. (as long as the Firewire connection went directly into the PowerMac, I have no issue.) But when I am using the display firewire connection, wont connect. So I have to use the USB connection on the display for my music transfer.... This is a brand new display and powermac which I got today.
It seems my issue was with the Firewire connection with the Cinema Display.
Can anyone help

Same problem here. I can sync the audio files without problem, but when it starts syncing my photos (on a mac 2.7ghz g5 with 20" cinema) i get a "required file not found" error. This only happens when the ipod is connected to the cinema firewire port, not direct to the back of the g5. when i connect to the back of the g5, i get no errors.

T420 internet connection issues

I'm probably over complicating this situation, since I know little about computers, but here it is.
My T420's hard drive became a victim of the "Click of death," and I had to buy a replacement. I installed Windows 7 and I now experience connection issues. I cannot connect Wirelessly or Ethernet cable. With troubleshooting I receive a "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter" message.
I'm assuming I have to install drivers, and I'm clueless there.

welcome to the community.
sorry you're having issues.
if you post your machine type (from sticker on bottom; don't post s/n), we can probably get you pointed in the right direction.
a question to clarify... how did you install windows and which version?
edited to add: follow-up... i believe the link below is for the wired nic in your machine. pick the 32 or 64 bit version as appropriate. once you can get on-line, you may be able to run thinkvantage system update (if it's installed) to get any other needed drivers.

Connectivity issues after 8.1.1 update please help! :(

Hi all. Here's the situation.
I got my Iphone 6 on release day.
Not had one single problem with it.
On Monday however I do a general software update to IOS 8.1.1
Now ever since then I cannot keep a steady connection to both WIFI AND my roaming internet.
BOTH show as connected however load EXTREMELY slowly or not at all. No matter where I am.
I have done a soft reset.
Switching on and off.
And resetting Network Settings.
Done all these 3 or 4 times and they are not helping.
It is too coincidental to not be because of the software update.
Can someone please help me?

Still no help for you? I updated my iPhone 6 to 8.1.1 this past weekend and now have huge connectivity issues too. My home WiFi signal is 5 bars but runs very slow for example Facebook, the phone cannot update messages or photos. Try to connect for online banking, forget it. I have turned off WIFI and try using my Verizon signal which is 3 out if 5 bars, same problem. Don't understand why Apple cannot fix this apparent bug. Will call Apple Care in a few minutes and let you know what they say.

BLUTOOTH CONNECTIVITY ISSUES ON 6 PLUS

I have an iphone 6 plus and am having blutooth connectivity issues to my Mercedes. About 50% of the time there is no connectivity. To 'fix' this I often have to turn off my phone, and turn it on again. Does anyone have another workaround/fix?
Thanks!

*** IF YOU HAVEN'T REPORTED YOUR BLUETOOTH ISSUE TO APPLE SUPPORT http://www.apple.com/support/ OR APPLE FEEDBACK http://www.apple.com/feedback/, PLEASE DO SO! ***
The Apple specialist that I spoke with said the more people who report their issues, the higher probability the issue will get fixed (sooner). Don't just assume other people already reported it to Apple (or that the decision-makers at Apple read these forums). "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

DEVICES:
4 x iPhone 6 Plus
1 x iPhone 6
4 x iPad Air 2
1 x iPad Mini 2
3 x iPad 4
VERSION:
iOS 8.1.3 >> iOS 8.2 (all devices)
VEHICLES:
2 x 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350
1 x 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450
(will test 2008 Lexus LS600hL & 2015 LX570 later this week)
After weeks of reading about iOS 8.2 issues and how iOS 8.2 is supposed to contain a certain vague BT fix, I thought it was finally safe to risk another iOS update to fix my long-standing car Bluetooth issue with iOS 8.1.3. I WAS WRONG!
Upon updating to iOS 8.2, we noticed that our existing Bluetooth issue (started since iOS 8.0.x) was still present. Ever since iOS 8.0.x, we have had the very annoying Bluetooth issue of call audio cutting in & out when connected. After further research and testing, we determined that the cause may be that the iPhone (iOS 8.0.x and above) actually randomly disconnects and reconnect with the car's BT every 10-120 seconds, thus interrupting the audio through Bluetooth… however this behavior is difficult to detect without active Bluetooth call/audio going through the speakers.
Unfortunately, we also noticed that IOS 8.2 ADDED NEW BLUETOOTH PROBLEMS to the mix! With iOS 8.1.3, we could stream audio (I.e. Pandora, iTunes Radio, Rhapsody) at higher quality perfectly. Right after the iOS 8.2 update, everyone suddenly noticed that the audio from Pandora or other streaming music apps would briefly pause or skip & stutter every few seconds. We lowered the audio quality to "Good" instead of "Better" or "Best" but that did not make a difference ("Good" is around 64 kbps). At the same time, we did a speed test and found the 4g connection at that time was 6.8Mbps down… more than enough to stream a 64kbps signal without constant stuttering/buffering. Tests with devices still on iOS 8.1.3 show this is an isolated iOS 8.2 problem (the device streamed Bluetooth audio perfectly… was updated to iOS 8.2… Bluetooth audio was tested again and now exhibited the stuttering problem).
I hope Apple is going to fix this issue in iOS 8.3 or sooner... more and more people seem to have this (or variations) issue, and many others also are affected, probably haven't noticed (yet).
UPDATE 3/30/2015: After today’s preliminary testing with the vehicles above, this is what I found:
OUTGOING CALLS: In iOS 8.1.3, after much research and testing I have determined that the iPhone’s Bluetooth drops connection with the vehicle periodically, then immediately reconnects again, resulting in several seconds of audio silence on both ends of the call (same behavior as if you’re going through a cellular “dead zone”… but you’re not). With iOS 8.2, Bluetooth still exhibits the same issue, but now with an increased frequency. (NOTE: Unpairing & repairing Bluetooth connections as well as Resetting All Network Settings did NOT solve this problem… as other Internet posters, forums, and articles can tell you.)
INCOMING CALLS: In iOS 8.1.3, incoming calls suffered the same issues as outgoing calls (see above), but didn’t exhibit any other Bluetooth problems with my vehicles. With iOS 8.2, Bluetooth issues for incoming calls are now significantly WORSE! Approximately 75% of all incoming calls will ring twice, then drop (i.e. “Call Failed”). 90% of the time, the incoming call ring won’t transfer to Bluetooth audio (instead only ringing on your handset). (NOTE: Unpairing & repairing Bluetooth connections as well as Resetting All Network Settings did NOT solve this problem… as other Internet posters, forums, and articles can tell you.)
STREAMING AUDIO/MUSIC: In iOS 8.1.3, Bluetooth audio/music streamed fine from my iPhone to my vehicle, even with 3+ Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously. My vehicle’s Bluetooth does not support Bluetooth audio, so I have installed a Kinvo BTC450 Hands-Free Car Kit (aptX) to play streaming audio through my vehicle’s speakers. The only issue I had was that the iPhone does NOT allow manual selection of assigning specific Bluetooth devices specific functions unlike Android 4.0.4 and above (for example, with Android I could assign incoming/outgoing call functions & audio to my car Bluetooth, and streaming media audio to my Kinvo BTC450… with iPhone iOS 8.2 and prior you cannot do that so the phone Bluetooth fights to assign incoming/outgoing call functions & audio to one of the two devices… usually the one that boots up the fastest). With iOS 8.2, not only is this problem still here, but now if you have 3 or more Bluetooth devices connected (not only paired) simultaneously, then it is as if the iPhone has to buffer streaming audio every few seconds, which will pause or stutter the audio feed to the Kinvo BTC450 (or whatever Bluetooth device you use). This happens with ALL streaming audio feeds, whether it’s Pandora, iTunes Radio, Rhapsody (although it occurs less frequently with some apps than others). After unpairing and re-pairing my iPhone to the device, suddenly ALL AUDIO DID NOT WORK! After doing this several times, I resumed driving in silence… then after about 15 minutes all of a sudden the streaming audio (Pandora which I didn’t pause) started streaming through my car speakers again (although the stuttering/pausing audio issue was still present). Resetting All Network Settings did not have an effect on this problem either. (NOTE: Unpairing & repairing Bluetooth connections as well as Resetting All Network Settings did NOT solve this problem. This problem is only solved by connecting only 1-2 devices simultaneously and preventing any more devices from connecting as other Internet posters, forums, and articles can tell you.)
MY RECOMMENDATION: If you use multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously with your iPhone/iPad (especially 3 or more)… then AVOID iOS 8.2 AT ALL COSTS! If you already upgraded (as I have), then from what I understand it’s too late to downgrade to iOS 8.1.3 since Apple doesn’t “sign” that firmware anymore… so your choices are either to live with iOS 8.2 or jailbreak... or switch to another phone manufacturer. If you don’t use Bluetooth or connect to multiple devices simultaneously (i.e. smartwatch, car Bluetooth, 3rd party car kit, radar detector, portable speaker, headphones, portable keyboard, etc) then iOS 8.2 may work OK for you. Hopefully iOS 8.3 will solve these Bluetooth issues… but based on Apple’s track record I wouldn’t hold my breath.
UPDATE 4/2/15: Tonight I tried to stream Bluetooth audio from Pandora and Rhapsody through my UE Boom. I had my Pebble Steel, Panasonic 6.0 DECT Link-to-Cell Cordless Phone System, and UE Boom connected via Bluetooth at the time. Bluetooth audio skipped 1-2 times per second. This issue is getting very frustrating... to the point where I want to throw my iPhone in the trash.

Unexpected shutdowns and loss of internet connectivity on brand new 420t

Hi,
I was experiencing unexpected shutdowns (would see safe mode choices when turned PC back on) and also intermittent internet connectivity issues.
To Fix:
In device manager, I turned off the option in the Realtek Network Controller Power management tab to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
It's been working like a charm so far (2 days). I'm not so sure HP should be building PCs with this option set. There are no updates that I haven't installed either. PC still sleeps (can see nic lights go off) and wakes up just fine.
Other that that we really like this PC...Beats Audio wasn't impressive with only the internal speakers, then I tried a good set of external tweeters and a subwoofer and then it was realized.
Hope this helps someone.

Troy,
Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like you've heard that others have had this problem. Is that right?
And are you suggesting that the kernel panics and the loss of Internet connection are related? They often happen independently of one another.

FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:

FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:
While using Final Cut Express 4.0.1 on one machine I save (saves as .fcp) and now when I try to open the same file to continue editing, on a machine running Yosemite, and FCE 4 it gives an error message saying "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut". I have worked this way before (not ideal), I am wondering if the 4.0.1 update is still available and if so where?
Any Help would be great.

FCE and Mackie firewire mixer

Hi All, in post production I am trying to run all audio through a mackie 820i mixer (firewire 400) but FCE is not having it. I've read more threads than I can count and still no answers. talked with Mackie and am up to date on drivers, I've reset preferences in FCE, repaired permissions, MIDI inputs are set correctly in utilities, etc. The audio via mixer works doing a Quicktime recording as well as with Traction software so I know the firewire port works but imovie, garage band, and FCE don't hear it. Source and input for these programs are designated for mixer input and still nothing... I'm getting very frustrated trying to get this set up. Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered!

Hello, and welcome to the Apple Discussion forums.
As far as iMovie and FCE are concerned, I doubt that you will be able to record audio from your Mackie mixer except possibly through the +Voiceover feature,+ which is mono. iMovie and FCE are designed to ingest video streams. Video usually contains audio, but that is not the same as ingesting audio by itself. (Video being DV, HDV or AVCHD of which only DV can be captured live (as far as I know). A video signal has to be present. Audio is AIFF or PCM or something else, and in my experience neither of them can be captured (recorded) by themselves live into iMovie or FCE. You can record live with an audio app (QT, Traction, SoundStudio, Audacity, Logic, etc) and then imported into iMovie or FCE.
Garageband is another matter, that should work. Try posting in the Garageband forum.
