FCE V4 does not recognize Panasonic SDR-H20 Camera connected via USB

I've just got FCE V4 and connected it to my imac and started using FCE V4. FCE says it cant locate my video camera 'Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)'. I chose DV-NTSC in the Easy Setup because that was the default and I don't know what else to choose. I don't have a firewire cable, just the USB. The camera is recognized okay by iMovie. Does anyone know whether I need to:
1. Get a firewire cable and connect that to the camcorder and imac
2. Choose something other than DV-NTSC in 'Easy Setup'
or if this camera SDR-H20 Video Camera does not work with FCE?
Many thanks in advance
Peg

This camera will not work directly with FCE.
FCE needs TAPE cameras shooting DV or HDV.
The only other types of cameras that will work are those shooting AVCHD (High Definition).
You will have to download the video files and convert them to DV with something like MPEG Streamclip:-

Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software? If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either. I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
I am so dissatisfied with this printer. I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it. I will never buy another Canon.
The printer menus are confusing. I hate using it. I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model. Never again. Stick with cameras.

This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer. I deleted all the old stuff.
I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which). So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
It works now. So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching. I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

Will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB

My Dell will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB. Both the computer and phone gives a split second prompt that they are connected but then goes away immediately. After reconnecting it several times however it will finally recognize the mass storage. How can I get away from the hassle of multiple re-connections before it finally recognizes that connection?

That's some helpful information about your issue samrmusso! Some recommendations that I have for you is to try a different USB port on the computer to see if it isn't an issue with that specific USB port. Are you using the cable that came with the device (recommended) or a 3rd party cable (may not support data transfering properly)? You can also try restarting both the device and computer and retest. It's possible that there's a driver conflict on your Dell. Here's how to check for these types of conflicts: http://goo.gl/qH4m5

You may have to force your iPad into recovery mode in order to restore the device since the update did not complete. This article explains how to do that.

I've got a similar problem. I connect my Canon ZR40 (MiniDV) via Firewire. Camera shows up in the "Tree" under "About this MiniMac", but when I open iMovie 08 and want to import from the camera, it says "no camera connected".
Is my camera to old?

IMovie 6.0.3 does not recognize built in iSight Camera on new iMac

New iMac, Intel, OS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.
Built in Camera works with Photo Booth, the new iMovie 7.1.3 and iChat.
iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 does not recognize the camera. Opening a new project results in a No Camera Connected error. I have tried selecting various options in the video format drop down when creating a new project. I have repaired permissions, tried it under various users, removed the imovie plist, reinstalled imovie (both 6.0.3 and 6.0.4) without success. All 10 of the new computers are exhibiting this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

That is not an option that I can select on the imac's. On my iBook under 10.5.4 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 I can click on the triangle next to the camera icon and select the built in iSight camera. On the new iMacs that does not work. The built in iSight is not listed as an option.

Computer does not recognize Iphone 4 is plugged in to USB. Can't transfer pictures.

My HP laptop always use to recognize my Iphone 4 then all of the sudden stopped. I have been trying to transfer pictures and it does not see that any device or camera is plugged in to it like it use to. I have VISTA on my computer. When I go to My Computer it doesnt show anything is even plugged into the USB port. I tried all 3 ports on the laptop. The Windows help assistant talks about needing a driver..basically a software disc to load any new divice onto the computer. How would I get a driver for the Iphone?? I never needed that before. I could just plug it in and I would get the pop up asking if I wanted to transfer my pictures, etc. This is so annoying! I do back up to I Cloud as well.

Hi..Yes, I Tunes is installed on the computer. I sync with it no problem. I am trying to get the pictures from my Iphone onto my computer. When I use to plug the phone in I would get a pop up from Windows saying do you want to transfer pics to computer, do you want them to erase off phone once transfered, etc. Now I do not get the pop up. It is like the computer no longer recognizes that my Iphone is plugged in. Technically the pics are on my computer in the Photo Stream folder..but I want to actually transfer them off the phone. I have tried to turn off Photo Stream and I cloud but it does not help. The computer still does not recognize the phone plugged into the USB. If I go to "add a printer, scanner or camera" on the computer..it does not see it either. That is where it talks about having a driver to set up a new hardware device. I have 900 pics on my phone that I do not want to have to delete one by one...and I want to make sure they are downloaded. I also have videos that I want to download to the computer either and those are no where to be found..not even in the Photo Stream folder. I appreciate any help!

MacBook pro does not recognize built in iSight cam even after restart/ reset

After years of using Sony hdr500 video cam, iMovie stopped recognizing it and then stopped recognizing the built in iSight cam as well. Now photo booth does not see it either. I have restarted the computer to reset SMC and that did not resolve the problem. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks JJMANN

see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151 Check cables, connections, too many devices, etc., suggested there.
If your issue persists, try these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect all devices and cables except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
With all you have already done, if no USB devices are recognized or work on your Mac after you have also considered all the above, you likely have a hardware problem. Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Hey Kettletom,
I understand that your iPod touch isn't recognized in iTunes for your new Windows computer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in the following link:

IMovie 11 does not recognize my JVC mini cam

Is there any solution to this? My JVC mini cam connects and works on my old iMac that has iMovie 6, but my newer iMac (10.10.1) with iMovie 11 (10.0.6) won't recognize the camera at all. Firewire 800 port to firewire 400 port to cable to JVC GR-D350U. Help says iMovie 11 works with most JVC tape-based cameras.

The interface with DV cameras is very flaky. Too much intervening hardware may not work. However, I would assume iMovie could at least see the camera.
However, if it is an Unknown device, it isn't getting passed to iMovie as a camera. Try bypassing the Hub and see if it at least identifies.
I was testing an old Canon DV camcorder to see if I had a problem. I did, but I think it is related to the cabling. I had a 4-pin to 6-pin cable going into an old, portable hard drive, then to a FW400 to FW800 cable, through my daisy-chain of FW800 drives. I got no video, but the controls worked (play, pause, etc.). I then connected directly to the Mac Mini, bypassing the hard drive daisy-chain, but still no video. I'm pretty sure the no-video is a cable problem, so I ordered a 4-pin to FW800.

IMovie 11 will not recognize panasonic hdc-sd90 camera

I have just shot my first clip with this video camera and am trying to import it into imovie 11 but imovie will not recognize the camera even though the video camera shows up in system profiler ? any suggstions please.

One cable, or an adapter plug for the cable? I assume the former.
If the Sony works, you can capture using that most likely.

You should see the camera identified here:
If it's not seen by the OS it can't be seen by iMovie, regardless of the version you're using.

HT1551 Trying to connect to tv for first time. TV does not recognize device, saying nothing is connected, when it is. Help!

I am trying to connect Apple TV for the first time. I went to my HDMI settings on my t.v., and tried to update so it would recognize the Apple TV. Everything is plugged in correctly, but the t.v. is saying that no HDMI devices were found. Help?

not sure about how different tv handle it but i go into the input source settings on my tv
and choose which input source is the active one
if i did that for the hdmi port my appletv was connected to and it said no signal then I would suspect that the tv could not handle the resolution the appletv display in and I would test with another tv if the same problem was present there then I woudl suspect that the appletv was defect
