Help Unmounting, Disconnection, Removing Camcorder Device

Hello,
Ive just recently bought a Canon HG10 (Harddrive HD Camcorder) and everything is working fine with iMovie and the camcorder...... except one thing. I cant figure out how to disconnect the camcorder itself!!! Ive gone through the manual, and it says:
'DO NOT DISCONNECT THE CAMCORDER FROM POWER SOURCES AND COMPUTERS BEFORE SAFELY REMOVING THE DEVICE THROUGH THE COMPUTER' -- as it gives reasons which link to harddrive damage and such
Okay, simple enough for a PC, however, when i looked for the magical desktop icon for the camcorder, there wasn't one, but it worked perfectly fine with imovie anyways. Which also meant that I couldnt dismount the thing "safely". I would greatly appreciate some help on this subject because i don't want to keep on just yanking the usb cord out against the will of the Canon warnings that appear in the manual every second page.
Overall, ive never had a camcorder before in my life and i want to avoid a stupid mistake. please help, thank you!

While I was looking for answers, I came across a link in the apple site somewhere that had a list of compatable cameras to macs, ill look for it right now....
here it is,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
This is for iLife 08's iMovie though (which is what im using on my imac right now). Are you using the older generation iMovie? maybe it didnt have support for it then.
All I do to import the videos is the following;
1- plug in camera with usb and power plug
2- start up imovie
from there, it just tells me that it has found a camcorder device and asks if i want to use it for imovie. I dont actually do anything to find the camera, it finds iteself in iMovie 08'.
More iMovie support answers, but for older version i think

wahahahaha, found the iMovie 08' one, but still doesnt help me at all

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

    If it's still asking for the seller's Apple ID and password, then he most likely did not actually remove the iPhone from iCloud. If the problem persists, return the iPhone and get your money back. The seller can figure out the problem and resell the iPhone later.

  • HT1386 I my Iphone is no longer synced to my computer. Is there a way to find out if it is synced? Can I removed a device that says my Iphone and sync it again to be sure?

  • How to remove a device which doesn't exist any longer

    Since Snow Leopard iSync looks for my historic device Siemens S65 when syncing with MobileMe. I then removed the device from the bluetooth-list. But iSync is still searching and giving me an error alert.
    In the iSynch menue you can add a new device but not remove an old one which is not connected.
    The problem is, that the old Siemens S65 does not exist any longer.
    Has anyone an idea?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks, Julian!
    Your answer was helpful and now it works properly!
    But in addition: while syncing on my MacBook with MobileMe the process runs without starting the application iSync. On my iMac it does and after syncing it does not quit automatically.
    Any explanation for that?
    Thanks and greetings from Hamburg, Germany

  • How do I remove previous device from iCloud account? (It is removed from Find My iPhone and iCloud Backup)

    I recently got a new iPhone and traded in my old one. At the store, the representatives erased the contents and settings of the old phone (though they did run into some difficulties because of a pre-installed profile and I think were successful after a few attempts) and removed the SIM card. However, the old device keeps showing up on my iCloud account. I removed it from Find My iPhone and deleted the stored backup for the phone, but it's still there. I've talked with Apple Support about it as well as called the store on what I should do. Apple cannot remove the device on my account for me (which is fair), but I think it's strange that I can't remove my own device either. It won't give me any option to.
    The Apple people reassure me not to worry and that everything is probably "fine", but I don't like this uneasy feeling that my iCloud account (and who knows what other data) might have an open connection or hole somewhere that I'm not aware about.
    Please help!

    Some people I've talked to speculated (but could not confirm) that this "glitch" would be fixed once someone registered their own iCloud account to the old device; this would force the old device to be removed from my iCloud account and transferred to the new user. How long have you been experiencing this "glitch"? I'm guessing if Apple calls it a glitch on iCloud, it won't be fixed any time soon...

  • HT204074 How to remove a device from my Apple ID

    I have been sharing an apple ID with my mother for the last few months as she forgot her original apple ID password. Now i want to remove her iphone from my account - can I remove this device without her losing all of her phone numbers and photos etc? Ideally if there is a way for me to keep my own apple account and for her to set up a new one but not lose all her data etc that would be great. Thanks

  • Error message: "Remove USB Device from printer."

    I have an HP Photosmart 309 a All-In-One.  It is attached to my desktop computer, which utilizes the Windows XP system. I've owned the All-In-One for about three years. I do not use the All-In-One -- or this computer -- very much. (I mostly use my laptop.)
    I have not made any changes to this computer and/or All-In-One in quite some time. This error message is new. I do not have a USB device attached to the printer.  Even with the error message displayed, the All-In-One allows me to print, but it will not allow me to make a copy or scan.  How do I make this error message go away?  What's wrong with my All-In-One?  Thank you for your help!

    Hi DuckLakeSue,
    I understand that you are getting an error message to 'Remove USB Device from printer'. Follow the steps provided in this link by the PrintDoc to determine if your wireless radio has failed.
    I hope this helped, let me know.
    Thank you,

  • Hi there can I remove a device from my iTunes using my iphone not a pc?

    Can u help I need to remove a device form my iTunes using my phone

    Many newer wireless routers can create more than one network simultanesouly. If I wanted to do this, I'd set up a separate network for my child to use, then change the password during those times I wanted him to stay off the net. Or just pull the plug and keep the wireless transmitted (the plug) where he couldn't reach it.
    If you're using a recent Airport Base Station or Time Capsule there are better options.

    Hello everyone!i got a problem about this used ipad2 that i had bought  from a friend of my friend.the problem is i cannot activate it i asked my friend to contact the previous owner..according to my friend the previous owner had already removed the device from his account..but still it keeps on asking me to enter the email and password..what should i do now?maybe the previous owner didn't want to give me his Email add ppassword for his own personal reason..please help me this ipad has been in here since April 2014..thank you

    The person who sold you the device can remove the ID without giving it to you. Follow the steos in "What to do if you no longer have the device." In the artcle below. If you can't find the person or they won't do it you're stuck with a unusable device.

  • I have changed my iphone number (not the model) and it has become disassociated with my pc. How can I reassociate it having removed the device from my Apple account

    product - PC Toshiba satellite pro Windows
    Iphone 3 Model MC603b/a
    PC and Iphone were previously successfully associated. I have removed the device from the PC but cannot reconnect it

    Call AppleCare, because, according to Apple, removing the devices from your support profile should have fixed this issue. You can also try changing your Apple ID password, but given what you've done, I doubt this will help.

  • ITunes crashes each time I connect/disconnect ANY USB device... OR even Ethernet

    Hi,
    I use the last version of both iTunes (11.1.5 64 bits, last version detected) and Windows 8.1 on an Asus G750J (64 bits) and for several weeks now iTunes crashes EACH TIME I connect or disconnect ANY USB device (not only my iPhone, but my external hard disk or my... mouse) and even my Ethernet port...
    None of my other softawares are impacted
    Thanks for your help
    Serge

    Reinstalling the 64 bit version in the x36 programm folder seems to solve the problem but it's not satisfactory. I'd prefer to keep the advantage of beeing under the 64 bits version.
