Having trouble using a Canon Vixia HG20 HD video cam in Adobe Connect Pro. Any suggestions?

Anyway to disable the builtin isight camera and let the Canon Vixia HG20 be the default when it's connected ? I have a Macbook Pro with OS 10.9.4. it doesn't recognize the Canon Vixia HG20. Only the built-in isight camera is used by ACP. I'd really appreciate any suggestion on this very frustrating situation.

It is probably not recognized because the OS doesn't see your camera as a webcam. There is a Windows application to get around this, but I've not heard of one for Mac. If anyone has, please share.

I have the same problem, but discovered I can 'gift' itunes. I can't update my itunes version because my operating system doesn't support it and I can't update my operating system because my laptop is too old. 2008. have rebooted, retried, done all I can think of... still not working. Waiting for I support to respond.

Just downloaded the ios6 on my iPhone 4 and am having trouble playing music via my USB in my Acura.... Any suggestions?

Need help being able to play my music again!!

SBerman- I am the only owner/user of the phone but thanks for trying on that angle. It doesn't apply but I appreciate your idea.
KiltedTim- Yes, I have encountered an activation lock. The Apple ID should be the one that I use when I go into itunes but that one is not working. I even tried the Apple email/id I got when I first bought the phone years ago and that didn't work either. It is asking me for an id that ends in @me.com and I have NO IDEA what this is or how to get it to "shift focus" onto one of the id's I do know.
Does that make things clearer?

I am having trouble downloading the trial version of CS6 to my iMac... Any suggestions?

When I attempt to install the download I get an error message that says I need OS 10.6.0 but my computer says I don't need any updates????

What version of Mac OS are you using? You can discover this by going to the Apple Menu>About This Mac.

I'm having trouble getting my download of Mountain Lion to start on my MacBook Pro, any advice or solutions?

My MacBook is just a few days old and I purchased the Mountail Lion software earlier today. However the icon on the launchpad just keeps saying waiting and occasionally if it does begin to download will not progress and the download will eventually stop and have to be started again via the Mac Store. Any help with why this is happening?

When it does start downloading open the App Store and click purchases, that will show if it is progressing or not. It is a very big d/l and will look like nothing is happening on Launchpad but App Store will show otherwise.

I am using windows 7. Itunes tells me I am not connected. Any suggestions please. I have unistalled and reinstalled.

I am running windows and have wifi connection. When I sign into Itunes it does not respond/open. I have run diagnostic test and it tells me I am not connected to Internet.. obviously I am. Any suggestions on how to fix please.

Perfect, thanks.
Yes it is hanging and saying Accessing iTunes Store.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Issue: What folder are the videos stored in on the camcorder?
Solution: List of the directory and file structure of AVCHD camcorders
For users who wish to "drag and drop" the video files created by the camcorder the videos can be located by drilling down thru the following folders.
Double click on the removeable disc drive icon to display the root folder of the drive.
Double click on the [AVCHD] folder
Double click on the [BDMV] folder.
Double click on the [STREAM] folder. The video files are located in this folder with a .mts file extension.
- Depending on the software you are using the file extension may need to be renamed to .m2ts to be useable in your playback or editing software.

Canon Vixia HG20 w/ Mac... Help!

i just got my camera, a canon vixia HG20 and i am having problems getting the video onto my macbook. it comes with a disk with ImageMixer and that doesn't work because it is apparently windows only. the other disc has CameraWindow and ImageBrowser which both say no camera found.
so i have given up with them, but how do i get the video off the camera and into iMove or QuickTime, anyway? when i plug in the camera and go to it in finder it has weird files such as MOVIEOBJ.BDM and 00000.CPI
please help me figure how to get video from a canon camcorder onto a macbook

Hello,
Your question that you posted is exactly what I am having a problem with. Can you share with me what you did, because again, it is EXACTLY what I am having trouble with.
Thank you very much.

MacBook Pro won't recognize videos on my Canon Vixia HG20

I have a Canon Vixia HG20 and had no trouble copying video to my Mac laptop in the past. Now I have a MacBook Pro and when I connect the camera with a USB cable, the videos are grayed out and the computer doesn't recognize them. The videos play fine on the camera itself. Also, the still photos show up on the computer and transfer easily. I've seen older posts & sites (2008, 2009) that are related to this issue, but I'm not sure they apply anymore. Any new help for 2012 out there? Please explain in layman's terms, as I am not very technically literate. Thanks!

Go to the Canon Drivers and Software page here and download the March and April software updates for OSX Lion. This should help in transferring video.
There is also a firmware update for the camera here.
Regards,
Clinton

IMovie '11 on Mountain Lion does not see Canon Vixia HG20, Lion does

I have 2 Canon Vixia HG20s and an HG21 that I had previously used with iMovie. When I plug the cameras into any of my Mountain Lion systems, iMovie does not see the camera to import from. On my MacBook it only sees the EyeSight camera.
I know I had imported from these cameras when I was still running Lion. In fact, I still have one Mini running Lion Server. I installed iMovie onto it and plugged in one the HG20s. It immediately recognized it and offered to import the videos. I unplugged it and immediately moved it to the MacBook with Mountain Lion, and it's not recognized.
The one thing I'm not sure I have tried is on another Mini that was upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I will be trying that tonight.
What can be done to allow me to import my videos, something I USED TO be able to do?
Thanks!

Wow. I looked at some of your other posts and found a few hints that I tried. I deleted all the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and .cache files/folders in various locations and tried again. Now iMovie sees my camera!
Hope you figure out your issue!

STRANGE: two Canon Vixia Hg20 cameras, only one is recognized by FCP

I have two Canon Vixia HG20 cameras and 2 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel dual core computers. Both have Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 (latest update for that version).
The mystery: Final Cut Pro used to recognize both of the cameras, but now it only recognizes one. I've tried both cameras on both computers with the same USB cable, and I get teh same result every time. I try to log and transfer, but it can only detect the one camera. Both iMacs show the camera as an icon on the desktop and I can see there are files on the drive. I can see ".cpi" and ".mts" files on the drive. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the cameras, waiting 15 minutes. I go through the exact same process with the same model camera but get two different results.
Obviously, something must have happened to the second camera. Perhaps it wasn't disconnected properly? Perhaps files were pulled off, or maybe something placed on it? Perhaps it is recording in a different format?

I was going to suggest you copy the contents of both of the cards to the Mac and see if you can import from there. But, umm, I don't even know if that's possible.
I'd start by formatting both cards, twice, in the camera. Open the cameras and identify each card, camera 1 and camera 2. Put a piece of masking tape on each camera and write a 1 and 2 on the tape. Go through each camera's menus carefully setting and matching each of the shooting parameters.
Make a card that say CAMERA 1 and shoot two minutes of it. Do the same with camera 2.
Now you have a binary system that can yield repeatable and trackable results.

Canon Vixia HG20 okay for Final Cut editing?

Anybody know if it's a problem to take footage off a Canon Vixia HG20 and start editing in Final Cut? I normally import my minidv footage through firewire on another camera but was interested in this particular camera. Not sure how it'll change my workflow so I figured I'd check with the pros!

That's an AVCHD camera so you need an Intel Mac and Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. You would then use FCP's Log & Transfer function to transcode to Pro Res or Apple Intermediate Codec.
To use this format on a G5, you would have to get a copy of Voltaic.
Transcoding would take around 20 hours for each hour of video.

I'm having trouble using Adobe Reader

I'm having trouble using or uninstalling Adobe Reader, i get a message when the programme has been anitiated which says Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close, i went on to Adobe's website and it said try uninstalling Adobe Reader and then re-install it as this sometimes works, i tried un-installing it from the Add or Remove programme but that didn't work either as i got another message telling me that the patch package could not be verified and to make sure i have permission.

Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this?

Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this? Ive tried every thing deleting emoji and apps and re-instaling to no sucsess?? Any help would be great thanks!

YES! I am having a lot of AppStore problems since iOS 6. My 2 main issues are:
1. AppStore crashes constantly or will just sit & spin then does nothing at all.
2. If I search for a specific App, making sure my spelling is correct, AppStore will NOT bring the app up. Instead, it will bring up unrelated apps.
Podcasts app does the same thing, as well as jumbling up dates. Very impossible to find the correct episode.
APPLE, please tell me you are reading this and that a fix is quickly under way!!
