  • Help!  iSight Not Working with iMovie!

    I can't seem to use my iSight camera with iMovie. ?? The camera works with PhotoBooth, but with iMovie not even the "Record with iSight" button appears. I'm using iMovie 5 on an IMac G5 with a built-in iSight camera. Any suggestions on getting iSight to record to iMovie??

    You're welcome, -John
    If you are following the directions in this Apple article
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2329.html,
    your iSight should be working.
    If you have added any hardware or software since iMovie worked correctly for you, first rule out any Possible conflicts with your iSight.
    If your problem is ONLY with iMovie, try this:
    • Quit iMovie if it is open.
    • Delete your iMovie preferences file:
     Finder > Go > Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iMovie.plist
    • If they exist, also delete any other "com.apple.iMovie" files that end in ".plist" in this folder, or example, "com.apple.iMovie2.plist" and / or "com.apple.iMovie3.plist".
    • Close those folders and launch iMovie again to check for proper functioning.
    • When you get iMovie working again after tossing your old .plist files, you will need to reset all preferences that you want to be different from the default values.
    If you cannot make your iSight does not work in any app or in any User Account, you will need the help of an Apple Service Provider Technician to repair your iSight.
    If only iMovie gives you trouble, even after dumping the iMovie preferences, I suggest you reinstall the iMovie application.

  • How can I connect a Sony DCR-PC110 video camera with iMovie and import my videos?

    How can I connect my Sony video camera DCR-PC110 with iMovie in order to import my old videos?

    Hi
    This Camera has three types of ports.
    - Analog-out
    - USB
    - I.Link = FireWire = IEEE1394 = Digital in/out = DV-terminal
    And Your Camera only can send Photos via the USB-connection - NO VIDEO.
    So You Must get a FireWire Cable and eventually a ThunderBolt/FireWire converter Cable to get Import to work.
    There are no real way around this.

  • IPhoto not working with iMovie or Garageband

    Ever since I upgraded to iMovie 09 (from 08), my iPhotos will NOT load to iMovie. Or Garageband or even upload to email for that matter.
    What happens is that my iphotos say "loading photos" or something like that, and it just has a little spinner there and NEVER loads the photos for use with iMOvie. During Garageband, it shuts down my computer every single time.
    I went to the Mac store and they couldn't figure it out either.
    Can someone help me?
    OR.....I have my original CD that came with my computer. If I put that in, will my original iLife 08 reload? I'm nervous to try it, but I'm desperate. It's been 6 months without the use of my iAnything.

    Sal, I had a similar problem once. I'm sorry you had to go through so much of this but maybe what I discovered can still help you.
    - View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
    - Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
    - The XML under that looks kind of like this:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite</string>
    <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
    When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
    The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.
    So try to use the method above to identify which keyword might have a problem, rather than go on a witch hunt and waste a lot of time. Of course, your problem could be different from mine entirely, but my iLife apps had the same problem you described.

  • Help,My vc2003 can not work with indesign debug version

    Hello everyone, I am a new developer of Indesign plugin, recently I got the problem as follows:
    I use vc2003 to open the SDK provided project, and click F5, then selected the Indesign as the programm to load this plug-in. However Indesign did not load the plugin and further more, non of the break-points I setted in the programm worked. It was very strange!
    Any one can help me? Thank you very much!

    Thank you very much for your reply!
    I had solved the problem.
    If you just put the plugin in the app's plugin folder, the VC2003 would be unable to work with your indesign.
    In order to debug my plugin with VC2003 and indesign, I edit the file in %Documents and Settings%\%user%\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 4.0 which named PlugInConfig, copy the PlugInConfig.out and renamed it as PlugInConfig.txt and Dlelte the content then add the following lines:
    =Path
    "your custome plugin folder".
    Problem solved!:)

  • Does the Sony DCR-HC32 camcorder work with Final Cut Express 3.5?

    I was just wondering if the Sony DCR-HC32 camera model works for the Macbook or Final Cut Express 3.5. I am really interested in getting the Macbook for video editing. Thanks
    Compaq Presario 700   Windows XP Pro  

    Yes.
    Sony calls it iLink, Apple calls it firewire and the techos call it IEEE 1394.
    All are one and the same.
    You will require a 4-6 pin iLink cable that can be obtained from just about any computer or electrical store. Get a good quality sheilded cable no longer than 2 metres or shorter if you setup allows.

  • Sony digital camera not working with iphoto

    My Sony Cybershot DSC-P100 used to work perfectly with iphoto (version 4.0.3) until my husband plugged it into a PC and downloaded photos. Now iphoto will not import my photos saying they are "invalid format." The cybershot icon appears on the Desktop, but when I try to import it gets "stuck" (beachball and I "force quit") or gives the "invalid" warning. I plan to upgrade my system next year, but need to load photos now. I have 2700 photos on iphoto. I've read that I need to create a "backup" file, but am unsure how to do that either. Photos are family memories, personal use, and (obviously) not professional.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Cluless,
    welcome to the discussion....
    you can try to do a manual upload/transfer...
    You have to quit iPhoto before doing this.
    1- create an empty folder on the desktop.
    2-in the cybershot icon on the desktop, penetrate to the proper level where your pics are.
    3-Select all pics (with .jpg extensions) from the cybershot folder and drag into the empty folder onto desktop.
    Once all items have been copied from the cybershot
    4- disconect the camera, and launch iPhoto, then drag the empty folder onto iPhoto window and they should all import into the iP Library.
    side note: name the folder (say July 10th) prior to dragging over iPhoto.
    It can be done 2 ways. :
    1- if you drag over the pictures area, the pics will be imported to iP, and the Film roll name will become July 10th.
    OR
    2-you could drag the Folder- July 10th- over the album section at left of iPhoto window. This way the pic will be imported, as well as an album will be created named july 10th, and same for the film roll will also be July 10th.
    Step #2 accomplishes more in one step.
    Backup file
    creating a backup file is as easy as copying the entire iP library onto another HD. Not sure what kind of backup system you have. But if you can afford it, and like you said its family memories, get an external HD for $60 or so and it is easier than having to backup to CD or DVD, and having to toss them away when creating a newer backup.... if you need help with this one write back!
    P.s. Do not venture inside the iPlibrary and move ANYTHING out of there....... otherwise you will corrupt you library...and iPhoto will not be able to open it anymore!

  • HD camera not working with imovies.

    Hello - I have I Panasonic SDR-H18 which records in MPEG-2. imovies does not recognize my camera and it will not let me put my MPEG-2 files into the program from Finder. I've been reading up on some other post on forums about this, but don't yet feel I have an answer. It has been suggested that I need to buy the MPEG-2 component and that that will allow me to convert my files to .DV files which imovies can read. THis all sounds like a very long drawn out process. Surely imovies should be able to read my HD camera! I have 2.5 years worth of movies of my young children which I want to edit and it just isn't practical for me to convert every single file. IS there a batch method of converting? OR is there a way I can get imovies to read my camera files as they are! ? I'm really frustrated as I bought this mac 2nd hand from my sister so that I could easily do things like movie editing and photo editing, but it's proving more difficult than on a pc! :O( Hope someone can help me!!

    Same Issue in MB Air. I have Lync 14.0.7, but no video at all.

  • HELP! Ipod classic not working with Windows 8

    I have an Apple classic Ipod.  I just had to purchase a new PC.  It came with Windows 8 operating system.  When I plug in my classic ipod to this new computer it appears in itunes and you can see the songs that are on it but that is all.  I can no longer select one of them and play it on the ipod through the computer nor can I select or deselect songs on the computer to make a new playlist, nor do my new song purchases on itunes download to the ipod.  Instead they are on the cloud and unbeknownst to me they appeared on my Ipad.  I don't listen to music on my ipad so that doesn't do me any good.  I want them on my ipod.  Can anyone out there tell me what I need to do to make my classic IPOD work on this new computer or am I SOL?
    Thanks.

    Hello Ethan
    I am a bit worried since using Ospprearm.exe for office in my 64-bit version of Windows
    8 original version apparently changes my CMID will it affect my Windows Profile adversely as well or only office? I am told this rearms 
    does "the following tasks:
    Resets the grace timer to 30 days.
    Freezes the grace timer until either an Office application is run, or the ospp.vbs script is run.
    Resets the client computer ID (CMID). This is important because the KMS host uses the CMID to determine the number of unique clients. To check the CMID, use the command ospp.vbs
    /dcmid. For more information about ospp.vbs, see The ospp.vbs script.
    Note: If you run this command on either Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, it only returns to CMID for Windows,
    not Office. To see the CMID for Office 2013, look for event 12288 in the Application Event log..."
    Your clarification will be deeply appreciated thanks!!!

  • Help! Slideshow properties not working with multiple albums

    Hi,
    The album properties in the slideshow creator doesn't seem to
    work in the case of multiple albums in one slideshow. When I add an
    album description and a thumbnail for a particular album, the info
    is lost when I add similar information to a subsequent album, i.e.
    only the last entry gets added to the final slideshow. Basically,
    all entries in the album properties section don't get saved. Any
    help would be really appreciated.
    I'm using CS4 on windows vista 64bit which includes version
    1.6 of create slideshow.
    Thanks
    P.S. Just tried the same thing on a friend's computer with
    CS3 and windows xp and everthing works as expected. The create
    slideshow version there is 1.5.

    I also see this behavior.

  • Help! Nokia 8600 not working with my Ford audio bl...

    I've got a problem connecting my Nokia 8600 Luna to the Ford Audio on my Ford S-Max 2006 via bluetooth. Whenever I try to bond between the two bluetooth products, I get a "Bonding Failed" message on the Ford CD player display and "unable to bond to bluetooth device" on the phone.
    I've asked around some Ford S-Max forums and I'm told that I may need to wait for a Nokia Firmware update for the 8600 and keep my fingers crossed that this will contain and update which will make the two devices compatible. Is this true? Its very frustrating as I have an old Nokia 6230 which works fine on the Ford Audio and I have to switch to using this on long drives! The bluetooth on the smax was an expensive option and the Nokia 8600 ain't cheap either and now I feel like they've both been a waste of money! Please help me Nokia community.

    I don't know whether a firmware upgrade would help. You were lucky with the 6230, it had excellent compatibility with a wide variety of car kits. The 8600 is compatible with relatively few.
    Ford are factory-fitting some cars with a car kit developed on their behalf by Nokia - if yours is this system, then a list of compatible phones is on the web site (I can't give you a direct link because they use flash presentation pages in the web site, but start here: http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4221246 and work your way through car > car integration > Ford.
    The problem with factory-fit car kits is that the car manufacturers get one of the phone/car kit manufacturers to develop kits for them, but they usually don't maintain the relationship so the car kit falls behind as new phones are developed.
