FCP 5 doesn't recognise my Sony GV-D1000 miniDV recorder! HELP!!

I've read about the upgrade issues with decks/cameras not being recognised after upgrading to Tiger and FCP 5 but that QT "remedy" did not wrk for me. Anyone out there that has a Sony GV-D1000 miniDV recorder and could'nt get it to work since the upgrade? What did you do? What do I do? I have so much work to do and can't get the deck to communicate!
I have:
G5 dual
Tiger
FCP 5

Welcome to the forum!
You'll get good advice here and it's worth a visit even if you don't have a problem - you'll learn a lot from reading the posts.
This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem with FCP (if that's what it is):
First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
I know you say you've tried this next bit once - but it's easy to do it wrong - so check it out:
FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Follow the instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite safe but you must Trash the Receipts AND re-install QT from the link provided.
If the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
Let us know how you get on!

My iPhone 4 doesn't recognise my Sony HBH60 Bluetooth headset?

My iPhone 4 won't pair with my Sony HBH60 Bluetooth headset?
please help?

There is no logical reason why changing a sim stops the iPhone working
did they try another sim in your iPhone ,there might be a slight difference in positioning caused by the new sim
It is no good trying it in other iphones ,they are not the one not working try another sim in yours
Once that has been tried probably Apple Store genius bar
However
Just try a reset ,hold home sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears then release ,ignore the off slider
AND did the O2 store check you have the correct APN settings in your iPhone for a PAYG customer they should have changed when you changed status with O2

Just connected my new iPad to computer and iTunes doesn't recognise it - no pairing message comes up- help plz

Does anyone know why no pairing for device comes up when I connect my iPad to iTunes on my computer?

No, iPod is not connected when iPhone is connected to computer. I plugged iPod in later to check USB ports.
ETA: This is very odd...I decided to try the cable for my 2nd gen Nano with the iPhone - and I'll be darned! The iPhone now works just fine with iTunes! Synching now...Guess I'll have to go back into the Apple Store tomorrow to get a replacement for the cord that came with my iPhone!

Exporting IMX from FCP to XDCAM PDW-D1 via Sony plugin

Since I upgraded to FCP studio 2 (and also upgraded QuickTime) I am not longer able to export in IMX 30/40/50 to my Sony PDW-D1 XDCAM recorder via FAM mode. . I can still export in DVCAM via FAM as well as using the AV/C mode. When I use the IMX settings it renders in FCP but when the Sony plugin starts to export to disk it s stops at 2% and the recorder stops and doesn't work anymore untill I switch it on/off again. Although I'm using new XDCAM disks it gives the message that I should check if the disk is full or the rec-inhibit is on. All this is the same in other configurations, using other Mac's and other PDW-D1 machines. It wasn't the case with the old FCP studio 1 (FCP5) installed. Please help me...

you need to reinstall FCS1 and get back to work ... never upgrade a production machine until you have verified it will work with your setup
by all accounts IMX / XDCAM / FCS2 is broken ... a full version upgrade to XDCAM Transfer is expected in September, in the meantime, ensure your D1 has the latest firmware... and please confirm that the issue cannot be resolved by doing a clean OS X install, then upgrade, then full FCS2 install then upgrade, then install XDCAM Transfer 1.1.

Need to restore iphone 5 but itunes doesn't recognise it

Hi
I tried to update my iphone 5 to the latest iOS7 using iTunes but I got error message 4005. My phone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I understand that I need to restore it to factory settings and can do this using iTunes. But when I plug my iphone into my pc (HP notebook, windows 7) iTunes doesn't recognise it. Apparently it should recognise that my phone is in recovery mode and ask if I want to restore it. This does not happen. I have tried the suggestions of many people with a similar problem in the support community but none of the solutions has worked for me and I have followed the resolution steps on the Apple support pages but have had no luck there either. I can see my iphone is in recovery mode in device manager on the pc, iTunes is up to date, I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes according to Apple instructions, I have re-started the apple mobile device service, I am using USB 2.0 port not USB 3.0 and directly to the computer not via a hub.
If anyone can provide any help and useful suggestions on this I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hey bron_cross,
Wow, Superb troubleshooting so far! Usually for the symptoms you have described, I recommend the sub-step titled “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode” located in Step 5 of this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
However, it seems like you have exhausted all of the suggestions in that step. Did you happen to move on to Step 6: Check for third-party software conflicts? If not, here is the excerpt:
Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola may cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
1. Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
2. Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8).
3. After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
4. If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
Also, third-party security software may conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that may be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues you may have with your security software, you may need to try the steps in this article again.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Cannot get iMac or Roxio Toast10 to recognise my Sony DRX-510UL DVD burner

Hello, Firstly, I am not very good with Mac, Can someone please lend me a hand?
I would like to use my Sony DRX-510UL DVD +- R/+- RW burner, but i cannot find the driver that is compatible with Mac. I read this review it suggested that Roxio was software that would do the job... http://www.emedialive.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=7972
I have installed Toast 10 & neither Mac or Toast recognise the Sony burner that is connected via USB port on the back of the iMac.
I still have the original software disc for the Sony burner but of course it is written for PC.
Can anyone help me find a compatible Sony DRX 510UL driver for Mac? Is that what i need?
Kind regards
Glen

Your network configuration shouldn't be relevant to the problem. It may be the problem is related to the particular enclosure or to the USB cable.
Open System Profiler and see if the drive is registering when it's connected. It would appear in the ATA and Disc Burning sections. If it doesn't register in System Profiler then there's a problem with the drive or you have a corrupted system installation. If it does register then open Disk Utility, put a disc in the drive and see if DU lists it. If you have a DVD with data on it, then insert it and see if it mounts on the Desktop.

My iMac 24 can no longer be paired with the keyboard; it doesn't recognise any keyboard at boot up, even the one it is paired with. Can anyone help, please?

Brian - The batteries are fine and there has only every been one keyboard paired with it. We have tried my MacPro keyboard as well, and it will not even recognise that there is a discoverable keyboard nearby.

IMac doesn't recognise the internal hard disk (intermittent)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me an advice on this problem.
Background: A few days ago my iMac (20-inch MA877LL) would not boot up, it would sit on the gray screen with the wheel spinning for ever. I thought the OS might have got corrupted so I tried to re-install Snow Leopard from the CD. Installation fails with a message like 'the content of HD can not be changed'. I then went to Disk Utilities trying to repair the disk but had no luck with the repair so I decided to format the disk. I managed to get into my hard disk using the cmd R key combination at power up and backed up my essential files onto a external hard disk. I formatted/erase the hard disk (zeroed out) and tried to reinstall the Snow Leopard again. The installation failed again. Rebooted the system again and tried to re instal again but this time I got as far as the 'select the disk where you want to install Mac OS' but my Hard Disk is not listed, it's a blank list! Rebooted the maching again, tried the installation, this time it sees the hard disk but the installation fails again.
I have tried to change the boot source by hodling the 'alt' key down at power up, but I am only given the option of the CD drive with installation disk as the boot source i.e. no Har Disk. It appears that the Hard Disk is intermittently recognised and hence my problem with booting the maching when the problem started.
I am happy to purchase an internal disk to replace the existing one, but I have a feeling the actual Disk it's OK, after all I managed to access my data to back up and then format it with no problem. I just think there's a problem somewhere that intemittently doesn't recognise the Hard Disk.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

You need to have the hard drive replaced. The one that is currently installed has failed.

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

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 another cable
- 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.

Created new Apple ID, redeemed $20 gift card, now Apple doesn't recognise my Apple ID and the $20 Gift Card says it has been redeemed when it has just disappeared into my Apple ID that can't be found. I'm going around in circles trying to find my $20 gift

I was given a $20 iTunes Gift Card for my birthday, I setup a new Apple ID, redeemed my card and now Apple doesn't recognise my Apple ID and the $20 credit has disappeared. I've logged on using my Dad's Apple ID, but where has the $20 Gift Card gone? I try to redeem it again and get message that it has already been redeemed. Not impressed with Apple at all. I've sent 2 emails to their support, no response. I tried calling today and the call centre is closed.
Can anyone help me sort out this crazy problem? Why does Apple make it so hard to sort out?

Hi thanks, When I enter the Apple ID I get a message that either my Apple ID or password are incorrect. I then go to Forgotten Password, enter my Apple ID, choose to get an email to reset the password, but no email arrives.
So if I can't find/reuse the Redeemed Gift Card due to the Apple ID problem, surely that doesn't mean I lose $20??
I first emailed one week ago. Have emailed for the third time today.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
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.

Windows doesn't recognise my iphone 4s, but it will see my wife's iphone 4s

Hi
I am having trouble with my iphone 4s. Basically I plug it into my PC and the computer makes the noise that it has been connected but it does not recognise the device.
It does not appear in any way in device manager, nor does it start the autostart thing, or anything.
However, if i plug my wifes iphone 4s into the PC (exactly the same phone, we got them at the same time), then the PC does recognise her phone and it appears in the My Computer list.
Because of that I think that it is a problem with the phone and not the computer. The computer happily recognises the second iphone, but not my one.
I cannot think of anything different on my phone than my wifes apart from a few silly game apps and the fact that I have wifi turned on in my phone and connected to my home wifi, while my wife doesnt have wifi on. However, when I turn wifi off (and restart the phone even) it still does not connect.
I don't have any photo's at all in my iphone, so it can't be the problem with 'foreign pictures' that people talk about. I do have some video's in there, but they are all in my itunes too (which also doesn't recognise my phone).
I am on
iphone iOS 5.1.1
Windows 7 (64 bit)
I am completely stumped. I am hoping that I won't have to completely wipe my iphone to factory settings (and have to write out all my numbers by hand in case the itunes backup doesnt work).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
Phar

You don't have to wipe anything, but when you get a chance make sure you backed up to icloud.
What that means is your contacts inside of the phone either physically or liquid damaged. To check
which, you can look inside and if you see a little pink, that would give you a water damage. If you don't
see pink it means that you to many times plugged in that charger the other way or tried to. May be
used some other things to plug in. If you flash the light in you may be able to see those contacts.
If I were you, i would not believe me, good luck!

My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

My iPod dispalys this message:
"Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?
