FCP cant find camera

I am on FCP 6.0.2, and I am unable to capture, I have tried two different cameras DVX100 and SONY HDV, it works for a few seconds going through my converter box, I have a new IMac 2.4 GHz Interl, with 1 G of Ram, have tried resetting preferences, also tried different port ( going through external hard-drive) and different cable, the port work because it reads a drive. I have tried everything I could think of, any suggestions will be highly appreciated ( -:

You need to find a drive that will loop the cameras' signals thru and record to it. Wiebetech and G-Tech drives will usually do this, but otherwise you need to capture to your internal, then move the media probably. Is that what you're doing? Capturing to the internal? I'd start by trying that anyway.

IMovie cant find camera Sony DCR-TRV33E

I have Sony DCR-TRV33E Camcorder and MacOSX Tiger. is it really so that it is not possible to use the camera with iMovie? I cant find this type from the supported list http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/camcorders.html there are tens of other DCR-TRVs. The problem is that the iMovie 5.02 cant find the camera, (the “camera is not connected” was the report from the program) I have also tried to reset the camera but it does not help. And yes Iam using iLink/FireWire cabel. Previously I was using it with Mac os9. The camera is only about 2 years old. Should I use MacOs 9 for this and if yes is the new iMovie working with MacOs9?
If there is drivers etc… to resolve this problem could you please tell me where to download them.
All the best

Hi Tapio
Please try Your Camera on another Mac - to see that the A/D chip is OK
in the Camera. If defect then it behaves just as You describe:
- camera connected
- camera windig forward and backward
- no picture
See if my list can help:
Capture/Import problems:
a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
e) Bad RAM-chips
f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
g) FW-wire cable OK?
h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
n)
Have you tried the crazy fix:
Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now.
Sue/SDillini
o) Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)

Changed file extension FCP cant find the files

I am working on an old project created with FCP2. The captured source clips do not have a file extension and it was giving me trouble sending clips over to Motion. I changed (manually) the file extension of one file to see what happens. Predictably FCP could not locate the file and I had to relink. The problem is that every time I opened FCP it gave me the same error. So I manually REMOVED the extension. FCP still gives me the same error message! and I have to manually find the file each time I open the project. In the finder the files without an extension show up as a black icon, but the file I messed around with the extension now shows up as a QT icon (even though i deleted the extension). Any advice on how I can get FCP to recognize the file once and for all, and maybe how to better change extensions? gracias!

From the Finder, right click one of the files and choose Get Info.
In that window you will see a section "Name and extension".
There is a checkbox to hide/show the extension.
You can also apply the hide/show option for everything at once in Finder > Preferences > Advanced.
Back to that Get Info window: What application is listed under the "Open With" section?

Cant find the pictures I imported from my digital camera using iphoto

Hi,
I have a macbook pro and imported part of some photos from my digital camera using Iphoto. When it prompted me whether the photos should be deleted from the camera, I chose 'yes'. It deleted the pictures from the camera, but I cant find them anywhere on iphotos. I have tried searching for the pics on my mac using the 'finder', but had no luck.
I repeated the same thing.. took some more pictures and tried to import part of them and then delete the same pics from the camera. Iphotos did the same thing..
I usually import all (and not part) of the pictures from my camera and then use the same option to delete the pictures from the camera after importing them to iphotos. This has always worked.
Please help. Thanks,
Kanchan

In the Event mode make sure the sort order is By Date ➙ Descending. That will put the newer Events at the top of the window. Check there to see if they are there or not.
The safest method to get photos from a camera to the library is to upload them to a folder on the Desktop first. That makes sure they are safely on the hard drive. From there you can import the folder into the library and when you've confirmed they are in the library you can delete the folder from the Desktop and have the camera reformat the memory card.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

HT201210 cant find my camera app after the ios 7 update and no airdrop

No Airdrop for iPhone 4S. And the Camera should be the same place it was before. Did you try searching Spotlight for it?

Got my iphone 4s today but the camera has a bug that i cant find reported anywhere

Got my iphone 4s today but the camera has a bug that i cant find reported. When i take a picture or filming the camera screen shows the buttons in landscape mode( the buttons are at the bottom in landscapemode instead of the bottom end of the phone) and the object i am filming shows up 90 degrees rotated. If i hold the phone in landscapemode the object moves 90degrees rotated too. In i pan the phone the image on the screen goes up and down insted. Very weird.
But when i check the video there is nothing wrong with the movie. Please help....

Contact Apple and inform them you have AppleCare +. If your phone is working correctly they may or may not replace it, only they can anwer that question.

Cant find non the the iphoto, imovie, and the rest of the apps in that category that originally came with my macbook pro

i purchaced my macbook pro a year a go and i had the iphoto, imovie, ilife, iwork. but the other day i mad some upgrades to my macbook, new rams and installed a 2nd SSD hard drive in place of the optical drive. it is used as a boot drive while keeping the HDD for storage. but now i cant find the iphoto, imovie, ilife, iwork. and when i go to the app store in purchased tab i cant find them as well. and when i tried to download them from the featured tab, they are listed for full price?
how can i get my apps back please ??

That would be strange since iv used iphoto. every single time I hooked my iphone to my MBP to download the pic and that would be couple of time every weekend since i bought the laptop. And iv used Imovie several times to make videos for instagram.
But thank you for your suggestion
FYI: I never had to purchase them I just registered them when I used them for the first time. I know I used to see them all under application file but the Iwork and Ilife never been used before.

How do you get the screensaver that takes your iPhoto pictures and make one big picture? Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it

Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it. It took all the pics from iPhoto I think then made a pic out of them as a screen. Help?

Ah, welcome to my world...the world of progressive vs interlaced, RGB vs YUV, compression/decompression,10 bit or 8 bit, 4:4:4 vs 4:0:1 vs 4:1:2, color space (etc, etc, etc..!)
There's HD, DV, HDV, NTSC, PAL and more - its a place where acronyms roam free and multiply daily.
You're in for a fascinating journey that will soon have you understanding things you never dreamt you'd need to know, then when you think you've got to grips with 'em, you'll discover you don't really know the first thing about them...!
Fortunately you've got Bogie, Patrick, Shane, David and more to take you along for the ride.
I will suggest (and probably be corrected) that what you're seeing is probably interlaced footage on your progressive monitor. (You mentioned you're watching the DVD on your computer.) Your TV has far fewer lines of resolution than your computer monitor, so FCP works within those constrictions. Also your TV runs at 29.97 frames a second, which is actually 60 frames a second as each frame is divided into two fields, which comb together to for one frame. These combs are very much evident when watching a DVD on a computer. Even high budget Hollywood films have this problem, especially when the camera or subject is moving. There is no way around this if you're outputting on DVD or NTSC.
You could create an Progressive file, which won't do this on your monitor, but thats a whole other ball of wax...
Welcome though. Its all good. (And the people on this site are very helpful, I've learnt a lot over the last 5 years by simply reading these posts.)

Cant find the movie in my ipod classic 80gb.

First i could not import the movie to itunes, but i changed the name to something shorter and then it came in to Itunes. And now i cant find it in my ipod. the movie is .Mp4 och it a H.264 codec (i dont know what that h.264 means...). But i have a other movie thats .mp4 and h.264 too, and that movie is in my ipod. why??

A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot.
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. In the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. Do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.

How do I remove an advertising program by the name of SmartSuggestor? I cant find it in the ad ons and I cant find it in my add remove programs on my pc.

I keep getting these stupid ads that are apparently from smartsuggestor but I cant find the program anywhere on my pc then I contacted the company and they tell me that it is a firefox issue yet i cant find it in the firefox settings either. I went into the Smart Suggestor site and the name of the extension/program came up as "No extension Found". I cant find anything that even resembles anything to do with the program at all not in the add remove program through control panel or through the extension plug ins area in firefox and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
I did not download this crap then all of a sudden I am plagued with pop up adds and other sorts of advertising all stemming from this bloody Smart Suggestor. I have got myself a good pc cleaner along with a few Malware removers and also upgraded my security programming but nothing will either find nor rid my pc of this problem. I have downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox and I am still having the same issue, has anyone else gone through this and how can I get rid of this problem?

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy.
