Final Cut/computer doesn't recognize camcorder. How to solve?

The computer and Final Cut Pro 7 no longer recognize my old camcorder Sony TRV 460. It used to. I tried a new USB cable and it still doesn't work. I'm using Mac OS 10.6.8 which I've used in the past with the camera and have had no problem with it. Any ideas about how to get it to recognize the camcorder? It uses old 8mm tapes.

A USB cable will ONLY transfer stills images, if stored in the camera, not video.
With respect, you can't have used a USB cable to transfer video in the past, as that won't, and never will, work for Sony TRV-type cameras.
Get yourself a Firewire cable, and all will be good.

    how do i get final cut pro x to recognize my time capsule in event library?

    Yeah I'm getting the same issue.  I purchased a new Mac Mini yesterday purely to use the new FCPX, and now on day 1 I'm already running into problems... please don't make me switch to Premiere.
    Set up the computer with external yesterday, never set anything to Time Machine.  Here's a screenshot of the drive, formatted on Mac OS Extended (Journaled):

    Apple please respond to this post, would really appreciate some help here troubleshooting.

    You cannot override but you can chage it, the approach depends on the Mac OS X you are using.

    If a reset doesn't help, visit the website for your printer manufacture then search for v10.10 Yosemite drivers to download and install.

  • Final Cut Pro doesn't start

    Hi!
    Got a problem with Final Cut Pro.
    When I start it, the first window with the logo, version info and loading info appears. But it disappears after a few seconds, and Final Cut Pro doesn't start at all.
    what's the problem and how can I solve it?

    anybody with even an ounce of self reliance could tell you this, its the single most often raised issue on this and every other FCP forum and resource.
    ... whew, writing that was probably more long winded than just telling you the answer so clearly I'm the muggins here!
    sounds like your FCP prefernces have corupted (who knows exactly why and how it happens, but it happens all too often)
    download and install FCP Rescue form http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ its a synch to use.
    you can use it to trash your corupted prefs, and then FCP will make new good ones when you next launch it.
    you can also use it to back up a good set, once you've reset all you particualr preferences in the User Settings...
    and you can then use it again to restore those good prefs if and when it all happens next time

  • HT1338 I HAVE INSTALLED MORE MEMORY IE FROM 4GB TO 16GB AND I HAVE LOST MY FINAL CUT PRO X AND OTHER PROGRAMES HOW CAN I DOWN LOAD THEM AGAIN

    I HAVE INSTALLED MORE MEMORY ON MY iMAC IE FROM 4GB TO 16GB BUT I HAVE LOST ALL MY FINAL CUT PRO X EDITING SOFTWERE ECT HOW DO I RE-INSTAL IT ALL

    Hi John,
    No reason that should happen!???
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there.

  • My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

    My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
    When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

    Hi, Grafiti. 
    Thank you for the question.  Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

  • I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • My computer doesn't recognize my Zen Creative Vision:M (30 GB) anymore

    ? I still use XP and I have this mp3-player for a year now and it has been working fine until yesterday. I ripped Stefani's first album and tried to drag one of her songs on my mp3-player, but the player couldn't handle the file it seemed. So it fell out, on, out, on and I just unplugged it. Then I plugged it back in, but ever since my computer doesn't recognize it (in the media explorer it also says it's not plugged in). The videos in my library also seemed to be missing all of the sudden (only the maps remained).. and?I re-installed every programm, including windows media player, and the only outcome of it is that my computer now labels it as a MTP Media Player. So now it does connect, but i still can't transfer files or get into the player's system.
    It's strange, because many people have encountered this problem and the solutions seem to vary; one even solved it by simply re-installing WMP, which didn't work for me.
    Help would be awesome, guys!

    From the recovery screen do a Clean-up,reboot. If you have copies of all your music you may need to Format the player (do not choose reload firmware or anything like that)? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=
