FCP HD wont capture from firewire after updating OS

Hi,
There is a similar thread to this running, but it doesn't seem to be the exact same problem so I don't want to confuse issues.
I have been using FCP HD for years now, with the same kit and without doing any updates. I have recently had problems with DVD Studio Pro and decided to connect the Mac upto the net and download any usefull updates. Since updating to the latest version of Panther I seem to be having problems with FCP capturing using the firewire.
I have gone to "About this mac" thing and can see the Firewire port and it shows it is connected to my VTR, but FCP just doesn't seem to be able to see the firewire. I have done all the refesh A/V devices etc. I cant change the playback setting to "All Frames" as it is ghosted, and the other menu below (cant remember the name, Video something) is showing "[Missing] Firewire PAL" as it normally does if the VTR is turned off or the firewire is unplugged, But it isnt!!!
I though, **** maybe it is just a broken firewire lead, but then I noticed I could still control the VTR from FCP, it would play fast forward etc, but no picture was showing So I dont think it can be the cable, or are the cable made in such a way that the control may work, but the video signal may be missing??
I also found it a little odd that this would happen straight after I have updated Panther
Any help would be very helpfull (and sorry for the long post)
Cheers

Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. The usual solution it to force a full reinstall of QT.
This is how:
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Reboot
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Good luck.

TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps.

I am having an issue waking my late 2007 MBP from hibernation after update to 10.8

I am having an issue waking my late 2007 MBP from hibernation after I updated to OSX 10.8 Mountain lion. Anything I can do to fix this? I cannot keep doing a hard reset.

for people with this problem in the future. I ended up solving this by taking out and reinserting the RAM. I had previously bought RAM from crucial.com and I thought it may have been a compatibility issue with that. After taking out the RAM and reinserting I have not had the problem. Be sure to insert the RAM with force, almost to the point it hurts. I think the problem for the MAC not waking from sleep was due to the RAM not properly inserted or being jarred out over time and not related to the instal of 10.8. also, if you are no longer under applecare and you call apple with an issue you get retards.
cool. thanks. <3

HT201210 cant restore my ipad from itunes after updating latest ios. message tells me to turn off 'find my ipad' from my ipad, but I can't because the set up is not complete without the restore. What do I do?

I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge. The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad. I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored". Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.". I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!! I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

How to resolve every 5 minute logout issues from macbook after updating to Mac OS X 10.8.5?

After updating my macbook from OS X 10.8.4 to OS X 10.8.5, I have been experiencing automatic logout and quit all applications every 5 minutes specially during idle period. Although, the password requires to be activated after sleep or screen saver begins from General Tab of Security & Privacy pane is 1 hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a preference to log out after a certain amount of time. Check Security System Prefs. I think it is buried in there somewhere. I'm on an iPad at the moment, so can't check for it.
I don't know how it would have been activated with the update. It shouldn't have.

How do I remove an old version of Flash from addons after updating?

I recently updated from Firefox 5.0 after a long period of not-updating to Firefox 22.0, and immediately had to update Flash (which I also hadn't updated in awhile as in FF5.0 updating past 11.2.202.235 borked Youtube). However, now I have two different listings in the Add-ons Manager for Flash, one for 11.8.800.94 and another, flagged as 'Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and should be updated', for 11.2.202.235. I tried manually disabling it, but the next time I opened Firefox they were both disabled. Also, I'm having issues with Youtube videos stuttering and chugging (although, oddly, with no apparent drops in framerate) in Firefox after updating, that don't happen in Chrome, and I'm wondering if somehow thiis might be the cause?
So I was wondering, is there a way to remove the 'old' Flash from Firefox? I already checked add/remove programs and there is only one Flash 11 there, at the date it was updated.

Yes this is caused by a flash install problem, try removing it from the control panel (Both) and try again.

Pavillion zv5000 laptop wont boot from cd after mobo and hdd replace

So I inherited a dead zv5000 laptop with no hdd. I replaced the motherboard and CPU, and it powered up and booted from the cd drive with no hdd installed. I was able to run memtek and the original hp os recovery discs, with no hdd installed.
Then I put in an empty hdd. The bios sees the hdd ok, but I suddenly can't boot from the cd drive. The bios settings are correct, and the discs spin in the cd drive, but it wont boot with the recovery discs, memtek, or an original xp install disc.
When I remove the hdd, it still wont boot from the cd drive.
So I google and I read stuff about hp tattoos on hdds and motheboards and dmi, and no passwords for the average person to do the tattoo.
So what do I need to do ? I don't understand why it was good with the new motherboard, but as soon as I plugged in an hdd it wont do anyting. I cant update bios because I cant boot past the bios, and not sure how that would help anyway.

If you have an open firmware password, delete it. It will not boot off anything but HD with OF password. Or at least thats what it was for me.

Trouble disconnecting Ipod from computer after updating/charging

Just bought a 5th gen and I started to have this problem. The first few times after it updated, the window on my Ipod showed the battery being/finished charged, and allowed my to disconnect. Now after updating, it just keeps showing "Do not disconnect" and will not allow me to unhook. (I have to go to USB icon on tool bar and dissconnect that way, even though it still shows do not disco on the Ipod window.)
Is there something wrong, and will I create a problem on my Ipod discoing the way I do?
Thanks
Jim

it recognizes my ipod but when i click the sync button nothing happens and my ipod is still missing the songs that i just bought from my computer
try playing one of the purchased songs for a few seconds in itunes. do you get asked to authorise? if so, and if you do, do the purchases transfer to the ipod when you sync?

TS3899 Saved messages disappear from mailboxes after 'update'.

Saved messages often disappear from mailboxes after an automatic 'update'. Why does that occur? If it's normal, how long are messages retained in a mailbox? Thanks

Hi Milli,
I think the problem is that Mail tries to download them in order & if it runs into one it can't it just stops, happens when a bad/malformed email is in the chain too.
I think this may have cleared your problem though...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Wont boot from CD after hard drive installation.

I just installed a new hard drive in an iBook 700mhz. I expected the system folder missing message, as the hard drive was blank. However now it wont boot from CD when I hold down c on boot. Also when I hold down option, I get a circular arrow and an arrow pointing to the right but no real options. I reset the PRAM but that didn't help. Any one have an idea?

Over the years I've seen some optical drive failures that were actually being caused by the hard drive. The first thing I'd suspect given a new drive is that you didn't quite seat the I/O cable. The second is that the HD is defective. A couple times everything seemed fine and when the drive was placed on the bench and after formatting it there and reinstalling it the drive and computer were happy.

IPhone wont sync all photos after updating to 4.2

Hi,
I just recently tried to update to 4.2 and before I did this I backed up my phone, like I always do. I then downloaded and installed the firmware. When it started back up, there was no music and it said I had to rebuild my photo library before opening photos app. I did and when it was finished it only showed 800 pictures out of my original 1500+. I then searched for my backup I created before but the only one there was the backup it just created.... I don't know how to get my pictures back now. please help

Are you saying you had 1500+ pictures in your camera roll? If not, then the pictures should be in the folder on the computer you sync with. All you have to do is resync the phone. If they were pictures in the camera roll, you see why it is important to import the pictures to the computer as soon as you can to ensure you have them. The backup for the iPhone is not that much of a guarantee. I wouldn't know why the phone would have backed up a second time after updating the software, but if it did, it overrights the last backup, unless it was a restore backup.

FCP wont capture from Panasonic PV-GS180

Hello,
I am trying to capture footage from my Panasonic PV-GS 180 to FCE 3.5, OS X 4.9. Is this the problem that it will not capture? or does anyone know if the Panasonic model doesn't work well with Macs? I am a bit frustrated about all of this. Please help!

Hi! I have the same camera and had (have) the same problem. I am running a PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4.9. As my computer is brand new, and the only software I even have loaded is FCE HD 3.5, I knew it wasn't a memory problem. I finally got so frustrated that I called the FCE support people. They told me that the Panasonic isn't on the "list" of cameras that work well with FCE. (I had a small heart attack at that point considering I've sunk a considerable amount of $$ into getting a 'good quality' set up to basically make small little movies.)
BUT the good news is that there's a decent work around for this. In the Easy Set Up menu, choose DV-NTSC DV Converter. This will allow you to do a Capture Now, but you won't have any control over the footage, so you'll have to make sub clips later. I've also been experimenting with the DV-NTSC Firewire choice from the Easy Set Up. That will give you control of the footage, but I did have one crash and one "abort due to dropped audio" yesterday. So... Not sure if that's the best way to go.
I'd really love to hear how this works for you and if you've discovered any other work arounds to this problem.
