HD Sony Camara's HDR-FX1 AND HDR-HC3 NOT RECOGNIZED BY IMOVIE HD 6

I have tried all the recommendations on the connection between the camara and the computer with ilinkl, but the only thing that I get is a message saying the following: "Something is wrong with the plugin above threshold". The program does not detects the camara at all.
I have the MacBook Pro but also I have Tried it with the G5. It also happens with Final Cut Pro.
Any help will be very appreciated
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)

After reading this post and many other discussions on this subject, I contacted Sony. They were ZERO help eventually sending me to the Apple store for answers - why? I do not know. I tried ALL suggestions in this thread. No matter what I could not get my HC3 to import into my G5 Dual 2.7 through iMovie or through Final Cut Express HD.
Finally the solution: Bought a Belkin internal 6-pin firewire card and a new DV (i.Link) cable (card and cable come together - part # F5U501-APL). Popped card into free slot, pugged in and now it's perfect. If you're having problems, stop messing around - Go spend $40 and get a 3-port firewire card and a new DV cable. Problem solved.

Perhaps that is the problem?

  • I have iMovie 09 and have successfully used an older Sony Handycam to directly capture and record. Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

    Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized in iMovie09. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

    Hi jcm2656,
    iMovie ’09 does not support the Sony HDr-PJ230 camcorder. See this article for a list of cameras supported for that version of iMovie -
    iMovie '09: Camcorder Support
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#1
    iMovie ’11 however, does support it. See this article -
    Apple - iLife '11 Help - iMovie ’11 Supported Cameras
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
    Note that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-60p from this Camcorder.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • SONY HDR XR150 - Camcorder is not recognized by iMOVIE

    Dear all:
    _I own the Sony HDR XR150 camcorder and cannot get my MAC to recognize that my camcorder is connected._
    I have a Mac laptop Powerbook G4 and am running OS X version 10.4.11. I have iMOVIE 6.03 (267.2).
    When I am in iMOVIE the camcorder is not recognized. :[
    It states "No camcorder attached" even when I have small Firewire cable running from camcorder to larger firewire cable plugged into MAC. My footage on camcorder is on hard drive. I have no idea if the footage was taped in a certain format and I mention this because there are lots of formats written about in this forum - I just assumed everything was recorderd in HD. I simply hit record on camcorder to tape footage. When connected, I click on a button on camcorder for USB connect that uses the Internal Hard Drive (where my footage is). However, my camcorder is not recognized on iMOVIE.
    I am worried that the problem is I do not have an Intel based Mac. The software that came with Sony camcorder called PMB (Picture Motion Browser - only works with Windows.)
    This is what I dug up online.
    Tapeless Camcorder Support
    iMovie '09 works with many tapeless camcorders that record to flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or DVD media. These devices use a USB 2.0 cable and include camcorders using MPEG-2 (standard definition), MPEG-4, AVCHD, and H.264 formats. If you use the AVCHD format you will need a Mac with an Intel-based Core Duo processor or better.
    Due to the wide range of media types, and the different ways manufacturers store video on these media types, not all tapeless camcorders are compatible with iMovie '09.

    *CAN ANYONE CLUE ME IN AS TO HOW TO GET MY SONY CAMCORDER TO BE RECOGNIZED IN IMOVIE?*

    My friend just wrote this to me as a possible solution...
    It doesn't surprise me that AVCHD is only supported on Intel machines. Apple tends to stop updating older products/software in favor of their newer lines. To their credit, high compression HD codecs are processor intensive, and older hardware would have a hard time with it.
    The camera may have some alternate options for video file type... Check the manual or help docs. Unfortunately, that could mean SD recording rather than HD.
    I DON'T KNOW IF MY FRIEND'S INFORMATION MIGHT HELP SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME EVEN BETTER IDEAS AS A SUGGESTION. AVCHD is a high-def video format that allows HD camcorders and some digital cameras to record video at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. SOUNDS LIKE MY FRIEND IS SAYING IF I DON'T RECORD IN HD ON MY SONY CAMCORDER MAYBE MY IMOVIE WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH IT. BUT MY IMOVIE DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE MY CAMCORDER... SO I DON;T THINK HIS SUGGESTION WILL WORK...
    SUGGESTIONS?

  • My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?

    My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?
    Model iPod 2 Touch, 8G, It stoped working less than a month after it was purchased but I never sent it back for repairs or warranty to Apple.. Is there still a way to repair it on my own. It just simply does not turn on or charge and it is not recognized by iTunes when I plug it in to my MacBook Pro.
    Please advise...

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • Ipod nano (both 6th and 7th gen) not recognized by itunes

    Ipod nano (both 6th and 7th gen) not recognized by itunes. Before you send me to the help pages, i have followed EVERY STEP you provided, from uninstalling, removing temp files... you name it. I was recently upgraded to windows 8.1.

    For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

  • HP ENvy110 and eFax login not recognized after initial successful setup

    I successfully set up eFax on my network printer.  Have already sent a fax.
    Yesterday the Envy acted as if I never set up eFax and wanted me to register or login.
    I logged in with my eFax telephone number and pin and they were not recognized.
    I went to my computer and logged into eFax successfully with the same telephone number and pin.
    So, the problem is specific to the network printer.
    Any thoughts on the resolution of this problem?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    nemccarley,
    This might sound a little bit strange, but it has been known to resolve this issue. Press the ePrint button in the top left and corner of the screen on your printer. When it displays the ePrint information, press "Print Info" or "Print Report". This will usually connect the printer back the correct servers and you should be able to use your information to log back into eFax. If you continue to have issues with this, let me know and we can try some other steps.
