Firewire port does not always work to import movies from video camera

I've been having issues with my Mac Pro lately, it is an 06 model. Opening up iMovie and starting the import process for video from my Canon camera, the software will not recognize that the camera is connected.
In system profile I do see that the camera is connected via the fire-wire port and shows the correct name, etc.
After a bit of troubleshooting, restarting software, I unplugged the fire-wire connector that is part of the dongle coming from the 23" cinema display and the camera appeared like it should.
System profile indicated that the fire-wire connection from the 23" display was unknown. I do know that I can plug other items into the display and they work fine.
Rebooting the Mac Pro did not have any effect either.
Granted, it is working, but I wish I did not have to unplug the cinema display port each time I want to do this.

The firewire port on the Display does not have enough internal power requirements to support some devices. Try the firewire port on the back of the Mac Pro. If you are using a firewire repeater then don't connect it to the Display firewire port, use the Mac pro.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
that have been imported from another catalog.

The Back arrow does not always work, particularly with Amazon and eBay sites.Even the on-page Back arrows do not work either.

I am using version 15.0.1. Since I updated to this version, the Back arrow does NOT always work particularly with Amazon and eBay. This is particularly evident when I go from a list the result of a search to an item on the lis. I cannot get back to the list even using the On-page Back arrow. I usually have to repeat the search to get back to the list again.

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work

Can I not add images to my itunes from Google images or other search engines as when I click get artwork it does not always work. I used to be able to do this.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Firewire port - does not work

Firewire 800 port does not work on my iMac, mid 2010 version.
If i plug in an external disk with external power it does not work. Sometimes the disk are recognized, but then it says its half the size it really is.
On small disks without external power it works.
I have tried 6 different LaCie disks with firewire 800 - all works on my macbook pro.
I have tried 2 differne western disks with firewire 800 - all works on my macbook pro.
All disks works as they should with USB.
Is it possible to reset the Firewire port?
If so, please send me a LINK. This support pages are **** to find correct answers…

While you can't reset the FW port on it's own you can do a number of different resets including SMC & PRAM resets, you can also restart in Safe Mode which will clear some caches. It's possible one has become corrupt. Try these first and sff i you have any luck. Make sure ALL peripherals except the keyboard and mouse are unplugged when doing the resets. Also it is not a bad idea to do each reset 2-3x to ensure it's worked.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Why I cannot import movies from my camera to iMovie?

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm trying to download some movies from my Canon PowerShot SX210IS. To download movies I am using iMovie 09 Version 8.06.
When I click on the "Open Camera Import Window" it only shows one alternative as shown below.
It shows "Built-in iSight" and there is no other alternative to select my camera ...
How can I make iMovie to show my camera in the down arrow so I can select it and download my movies?
Your advise and recommendation will be appreciated very much.

Hello AppleMan1958:
Thanks a lot for your answer, but this is exactly what I am doing and what it does is showing my own picture from the camcorder in my computer. I don't have any alternatives to directly import my movies from my camera.
I have received answer from Klondike Kid and gave me the possible cause of my problems. iMovie does not recognize digital still cameras as "movie" cameras. I will have to use an external USB card reader in order to import directly from iMovie.
Again, thanks a lot for your answer.

Image.getScaledInstance() does not always work under Windows Vista

Hi:
I've run into some intermittent image scaling problems under Windows Vista (minus Aero effects) that I never experienced with the same program, same image(s), running same Java version under XP. The images I'm using are all JPEGs, and the problem appears to affect approx 1 out of 3 grayscale images (no color ones so far) w/o respect to size (ie: small ones can be problems while larger ones will work). Java -version shows 1.6.0_02-b06. I was wondering if anyone else out there has seen this, or can point out what I may be doing wrong. Sample code to duplicate follows.

That does indeed appear to be a bug. I looks like it's having problems with the alpha value in the color model, so a possible workaround would be to change the color model the image uses before scaling. This may entail creating a new BufferedImage and drawing the old image into it.

Dual wan failover config: failback does not always work as expected for existing LAN traffic flows

I have an 881 router configured with 2 dhcp WAN connections. I am trying to configure failure detection of the primary connection (I do not really care about the secondary at this time).
I have an ip sla/track configured to monitor the primary WAN connection, and if it stops passing traffic it removes that route, passing all traffic out the second WAN connection. When the first connection is restored it should restore the route and everything should pass through the first connection again. This works for all my tests except one. If I start a ping stream from a client "ping 8.8.8.8 -t" and disconnect the primary connection it will lose a few packets but then use the secondary connection in about 15 seconds. After restoring the primary connection all new traffic will use the primary connection, but the ping stream will then stop working (fails over, but not back). If I stop the ping stream for a time (not sure how long is required, but my test was over a minute) it will then use the primary connection like all other new traffic. A stop of a few seconds is not enough, and even opening up a second command prompt to ping the same target also does not work (pinging new targets works as desired). It is as if something is caching the route/session/whatever and it has to have a window of no traffic before expiring/relearning the route. This means any sustained traffic to the original target will not work until it is stopped for a certain time to let "something" age out.
I need to know if there is a way to "flush the cache" (or whatever) during fail-back to force the primary route to be used after fail-back, or something else that will have the same effect. My suspicion is that the second route gets "preferred" because the first is removed by the sla, and when the sla returns the route to the list the existing traffic flow is not aware of the route list change, using the last known good route (which now does not pass traffic). The Issue here is that it takes a length of time for the now bad route to get flushed, which is greater than I want to have.

Scrolling with the mouse wheel does not always work with 4.0? Never a problem with previsous versions.

in firefox 4.0, at times the scrolling wheel will not work. It has never been a problem with previous versions, and always works in internet explorer.

Hello Henry,
Thanks for the hint!
My mouse wheel is working, but not in flash player...strange... It is a Microsoft Comfort Mouse and I see there is already logged bug about that: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5145
Anyway besides this bug, there is an additional issue I think, that the vertical layout does not calculate properly the vertical scroll position, when certain elements are excluded from the layout. I have described this additionally in the Jira.

Adobe 9 plugin save function does not always work

This may not be a problem with Adobe Reader or Internet Explorer, but my credit card company says it is, so I need to look.
When I try to get my on-line statements from a particular credit card company, a new IE window with Adobe Reader running "underneath" comes up fine. When I press the "Save" icon (the floppy disk icon) nothing happens.
I have done this recently with another similar site (brokerage account) successfully, so my version of Reader and/or IE7 do not seem to be the problem. Note that in all cases the bank/broker do not give direct access to the pdf file, which is probably for security reasons -- in other words, "right-click/save-as" does not work for on-line statements. Instead they run a server-end script which "presents" the pdf to the new browser window. All of this indicates that they have control over the security and therefore disallow me from saving locally.
If anyone knows of a setting I need to make, or if they can confirm that the problem is on the server end, I could use the help. I want to stay paperless, so you'll be helping the environment if you help me :)
My alternative is to print the statement, then scan it and throw it out, which is obviously ridiculous :)

I am having much the same problem as the OP and Martin.
Currently I am running Reader 9 on a Vista computer. This is a new computer and I was able to save my credit card statement in January. Then after I saved my statement in January, I believe I upgraded Reader at some point, and when I tried to save my February statement it wouldn't work.
I have tried to right click on the document, and there is no "Save As..." option. But like someone else posted, it's just a long gibberish type name in IE address bar.
I also tried printing the document to a file, but that does not work either. It fails to bring up the dialog box asking the usual queations. I can print the document on my printer.
I have spent several sessions with the credit card company website tech support people. Per their suggestions I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 9, they also had me delete cookies, change popup blocker settings, add security certificates, etc.
None of that worked, and they tell me it's an Adobe problem.
Like other posters I can save this same statement using my laptop with an earlier version of Reader. In my case Reader 7.
Like Martin posted, and the credit card tech people suggested, I believe this is a Reader 9 problem.
I hope someone has a fix.
Thanks,
Don Sepanski

T61p - IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port does not show up in device manager in Windows 7 x64

I have a T61p. On the front, in the left corner, right next to the wireless on/off switch, is a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. However, if I plug anything into it, it's not recognized by Windows, and if I go into the device manager in Windows, there is no IEEE 1394 host manager or ports or anything listed there.
I have rebooted and gone into the BIOS, and I don't see anything in there about 1394 either. Is the port there, but the hardwire inside is missing? Do I need to enable it somehow?

Let me clarify that. I have something in the device manager called "SD Host Adapters", and under that "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller". That thing has a Microsoft driver.
However, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI contollers", I do see "Ricoh Memory Stick Contoller", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Contoller", and "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Contoller".
I also have "PCMCIA adapters" that has "Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) or Compatible CardBus Contoller".
So, it would seem I have the right drivers for the card reader, I'm just missing anything for the IEEE 1394 contoller...

How can I make Thunderbird 31.4.0 always open with Inbox? The add-on "select Inbox" does not always work!

Starting with TB 31.2 - some four months ago - I have not been able to open TB to the Inbox. I downloaded the "Select INbox" add on many times (and disabled/removed as many times) but it does not work consistently. When it does finally work I have no idea why. And then the next time, it doesn't work again!

I still have this problem. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. This morning TB opened to the Inbox but I have little confidence that it will do that again.
In earlier post I already replied that I don't have CCleaner on my computer. I also have not downloaded any programs since I began to have this problem.
Now I wonder if the Intego Net Barrier and Virus Barrier could be having a negative influence. I've been using these for years and have not changed their settings in any way for years. If they could be the reason that the settings are erased between TB starts what should I do?
You can probably tell that I only use my computer and do not understand anything about programming, etc.! I need complete, step-by-step explanations for a computer dummy.
Thanks in advance.

Airplay does not always work with Apple TV (no airplay symbol)

We have two iPhones and one iPad (all using iOS6). Sometimes we can connect any device without problems, sometimes the Airplay symbol does not appear on the iPhone or iPad at all. Rebooting (unplugging and plugging again power cord) the Apple TV sometimes helps. Anyhow, I checked all hints from the Apple FAQ and the only thing I don't use is iOS 7 (but currently iOS 6 should still be ok).
Does anybody made the same experience?

This morning I downgraded the firmware of my Apple TV to 5.3 (I was on 6.0.2). This solved my problem! :)
I too had lagging playback, both from iTunes as well as for Airplaying a video from my iPad. Often the video or airplay just would not start.
With firmware 5.3 my ATV is again as fast as it used to be: videos start promptly, no waiting for the spinning disc and hoping the thing will start. It just works now :)

Query filter with amounts does not alway work

I have several customers with the same problem.
They create a query in Webi containing some simple objects. In the filter pane they have for eksample amounts less than -2000
This should give a report with rows where the amount is less than -2000. But in some cases there are rows with amount = 0.00. It does not matter what value they put in the filter, it could be -2000 or 1000 or 200 etc. the problem is that some rows with value 0.00 slips through and are listed in the rows of the report.
I have been searching for a note for this problem, but haven't found any yet.
The BOE version is 12.2.5.537
I do not have this problem on customers who runs a 12.1 version of BOE....
Thanks

Can you post the actual SQL?
Does this measure object have a sum(table.column)
(so it goes in the having and is evaluated on the group by level)
or not
(so it goes into the where and is evaluate on a row to row basis)...
In case of the latter you can off course have detail values that pass the test,
but are counter booked so they add up to zero, and show as zero in BO.
Good luck,
Marianne
