Help! My Mac doesn't communicate with my DV camera!

I need some help setting up my DV camera to my Mac Pro. I've done all the things that the help guide and manual tells you to, but it is still unable to communicate with the camera. I've tried changing my capture settings, capture pre-sets and my easy set-up. Please, any advice or guesses would be greatly appreciated!

If you've followed Randy's suggestions above, and you say nothing shows up on the camera's LCD when you're connected (like DV IN), then I might suspect a bad firewire cable.
Remember, the Easy Setup should be chosen first; then you should be capturing into the project with that Easy Setup. If you've chosen the DV NTSC setup, what happens when you open the log and capture window? Does it say "VTR OK" under the view window, or does it say "NO COMMUNICATION?"
If the latter, again, you may have a bad cable. If you're getting the VTR OK, then try controlling the camera with the transport controls in the log and capture window. It should work.

Mac doesn't communicate with Epson CX7450 printer

Couple days ago, while trying to fix a problem with my printer, I messed the settings for the printer. I don't know what I did, but there is no "Printer and Fax" icon in the System Preferences. When I press Print and get the printer setting I find the settings for CX7400 printer and not for CX7450. What should I do to correct this situation and get my computer talking with my printer.

You could do an Archive and Install - the important part is reinstalling parts of the system. Here are links that explain the various installs:

AIR doesn't communicate with my server - PHP issue

Hello,
So I have made an AIR application where the file communicates with a PHP file in order to display data.
I have WAMP installed on my computer, and the application works when I test locally using WAMP but if I upload the php on an online server(I tried on two of my servers) and run the AIR application it seems that it doesn't communicate with the server so no data are displayed.
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.test.com/test.php")
This is how I call for the php on AS3, like shown above.
Any suggestions?
The php file gives no errors when I browse it online so, I suppose there something else going on?

There are no errors, on either the php files stored online neither the flash swf.
The only file scalled from an online server are the PHP.
I suppose I don't need to pack these PHP when publishing the air file, since they need to be called from an online server?
Very tricky since there are no errors, I would appreciate any help since this is an urgent project.
//EDIT:
So I just removed the http:// from the urlrequest to the site that the PHP is stored and I get this IO error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: app:/test.com/test.php
at my_fla::test_1/setPHP()[my_fla.test_1::frame1:38]
Notice the app:/ ? why is it there? Could it be the issue? I am not sure, but if you link to a local file, like "test.php" it works, but when adding a URL it doesn't...

WP Greek Century in Mac doesn't work with Dreamweaver

I am a many year PC user and have finally made the leap too Mac and its another learning curve .. That said, in Dreamweaver and in Mac, WP Greek Century does not work! I have reloaded the font and all I see is the alpha #.   If I load it into any browser, it still will not read greek. My old PC didn't have a problem with this. Some of the download sites say that this font, WP Greek Century, works with both PC and Mac. The one odd spin to all this is that this greek font works in Fireworks ... Is there anything I can do to make it work in Dreamweaver? Please advise and thanks. Mark
ps. I called Apple support and they could not help.

Thanks for your reply and I was afraid that this might the answer. Looks
like I'm going to have to go back and fix a bunch of documents. Appreciate
your help in this matter. Mark

Fonts don't work on the web like they do in print. Any font you use on a
website will require that the end user have that same font installed on
their system.
I did try to load that font from a free source (assuming this is how you
got it). It is a PC TrueType and doesn't appear to work at all on the
Mac. Now if you are looking for just a few characters you can code this
into the HTML:
http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/greekchart
.html . As far as other fonts, this greek font seems to work on Mac:
http://www.dafont.com/ancient-geek.font . But again, it's not a web-font
so you won't be legally allowed to use it on web pages, and it will only
work if the end user has that font installed on their system, unlike the
HTML entities previously linked.

Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger's Blog Archive links?

I noticed this just started happening about week ago. Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger when clicking in the Blog Archive sidebar links. I can't upgrade because I'm using a PowerMac. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

I press the combination after having some of the document's text selected, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to apply the paragraph style in the first place. But the real thing is I do the exact same with other paragraph styles combinations (Cmd+Alt+1, Cmd+Alt+2, Cmd+Alt+4, Cmd+Alt+5...) and it works. In Safari, even the one I'm interested in works (Cmd+Alt+3). The natural solution, it appears to me, would be a shortcut conflict, but I can't manage to find it, not even disabling my four add-ons (Adblock Plus, bookmarks-deiconizer, Customizable Shortcuts, YouTube to MP3). The Google forums are not finding a solution either. Anyway, thank you for trying.

Back to my mac doesn't work with Cable modem

I have at home Cable modem and a Airport Extreme, both use NAT to distribute internet, so it seems even if I connect the cable modem direct to my home Mac (without the Airport) that the Back to my mac doesn't work. Can somebody tell me how can I turn around this problem? Doesn anybody has it too?
The Back to my Mac panel displays this message when I have the Airport Extreme distribuiting the Internet: Back to My Mac isn't working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing Network Address Translation (NAT). Try disabling NAT on one the devices.
And without the Aiport: Back to My Mac isn't working properly because it requieres a router that supports NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Make sure your router supports one of these protocols and that it is enabled.

If I may continue this thread, I have the same double NAT issue and am using a DSL modem/router combo. I added an Airport Extreme to my Qwest supplied Actiontec dsl Modem/Router in hopes it would solve issues with Back to my Mac, among other things. The dsl modem supports UPnP to some degree, but BtmM doesn't seem to like it.
Currently the setup uses the DSL modem/router first in line, functioning as modem, NAT, router, but no DHCP (or wifi). That plugs into the WAN port of the Airport BaseSta. The Base Station runs in bridge mode, and distributes the ethernet and wifi connections. I would rather bridge the modem and disable its router functions, and let the Airport handle NAT and routing and wifi and Back-To-My-Mac.
What are the alternatives? Any help appreciated!

PC doesn't communicate with HP Color Laserjet 1600

Hi, my Laserjet 1600 printer worked fine with my old pc. Now i have a new pc with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and somehow it can't communicate with my printer. Printer does work. cable isn't broken. Driver won't install either. What can be the problem? I also tried the HP universal printing PCL 5

Hi Reen1604,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP Laserjet 1600 is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Help! Safari can't communicate with Iphoto

Please help!
Recently, I have not been able to add photos from Safari to Iphoto9. When I attempt to do so, Safari comes up with an alert "cannot communicate with Iphoto".
How do I repair this so that Safari communicates again with Iphoto?
Please help! I need this function to work.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If this does not help try the same with the Safari preference file

Mac will not work with Canon EOS cameras

My imac OS X 10.6 is not working well with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II camera on the tethered mode. The camera works well with other Mac computers, and I have spent hours with Canon tech help. It now seems that the issue may be with the computer. The EOS Utility is working, everything has been updated, all Canon checkpoints look good, but when I use the camera, the image does not transfer. And then everything gets locked into a loop and I have to crash the camera and force quit the program. Is there something in the computer that may be blocking the transfers? any ideas where to look? Canon has done everything on the camera side, but I don't know where to begin with the computer.

OH, ok. So the issue is with transferring the image from the camera to the computer. Since you said you have done everything possible with canon, the camera's firmware is completely up to date, you have the correct software installed. Since you say no cameras work with this computer I am inclined to say the problem is from the computer, which is why the problem exists. I'd do an apple hardware test and see if anything turns up. Clean install of the canon software would also be a good idea.

Messages Doesn't Communicate with AIM Server - Can't add/delete buddies, change privacy settings

This has frustrated me and I think I've diagnosed the problem but I need help!
The problem occurs in Messages for Mountain Lion. I've set up my AIM buddy list and everything seems like it's working. But, when I try to add a buddy, it doesn't matter whether they are online or not, they appear to be offline. Then, when I quit Messages and launch it again, that entry has disappeared from the buddy list altogether. The same thing occurs when I try to delete a buddy or anything else that involves a change at the AIM server.
The problem is the Contacts app. I know that. If I trash my address book, everything works perfectly! If I add cards back one by one, the card that breaks Messages is always a different one. There isn't one "culprit." I also know that it's probably because I have had these contacts for years and I have migrated them from platform to platform. It's not a local problem though: if I trash my address book and then sync with iCloud to get my contacts back, it happens again.
There's something about the way Contacts and Messages handle AIM that doesn't allow changes to propagate to/from the AIM server and I can't discern any pattern that would lead to a solution.
Does anyone have any insight here? Is this just a bug in Messages?

Note: These instructions are for OS X 10.8 or later. In OS X 10.7, the procedure is the same, but the application is named "Address Book" instead of "Contacts."
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
A. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
B. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
C. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
D. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
E. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

Help my Mac mini wont work with the airpot

I have got the Mac mini Intel Core Solo G5 model and ive got a ibook G4 my G4 works great and fine but my mac mini does not. I connect to the base station fine useing the drop down bit on the taskbar in finder and enter the password and it connects. But when i do network assistant and it asks for me to eneter the password again it just basicly frezzes for a min then says invalid password when i know that it is the write base station password. It did work once but froze again and said could not connect. and when i go into the airport utlity it can't descover the base station even though it says it is connected with a full signal, im doing the excatly same things i did with my ibook but it just wont work. Please can someone help me and tell me what i have to do or give me some support this is my last hope as apple aren't intrested. I will be very gratful!

The software update was for Intel based Mac computers and does not specify Core Duo or Core 2 Duo:
AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001
This update is recommended for all Intel-based Macintosh computers and provides compatibility with AirPort Extreme base stations and networks.
This is the update that generated a fix at www.macfixit.com because some folks have been having issues with connection with their internet provider and some people have had issue with their airport systems just shutting down.
It was part of an auto update that was received. One of my Macs is a MacBook Pro Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) and this upgrade (download) was part of the update check that is automatically performed.

Photo app (Mac) doesn't sync with iCloud

Hi All,
I have taken couple of pictures at home with my iphone which are in my iphone photo library and have by now also made it to the iCloud online.
However, when I start the photo app on my Mac (OS Yosemite) these photos are still not there. While I expect that they should be there instantly, they have had now couple of hours (within a wifi network) to be synced.
(Having a flawless synchronisation between apple devices was one of my key factors why I have bought an app. However, this hardly every works.)
Does anyone know how I can force the photo app only my Mac to refresh and thus get the latest pictures from iCloud?
I would much appreciate any help!
Many thanks
Alpha

Make sure you have ticked Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud.
You may need to sign out of iCloud and then back in again to "jumpstart " the syncing.
