How to install software (on CD) for Sony DCR-SR68 video camera on my 2009 MacBook Pro
How do I install software for a Sony DCR-SR68 video camera on my 2009 MacBook Pro? The manual that came with the camera says the software cannot be installed on "a Mackintosh", that I should contact Apple.

I think that's pretty clear, don't you? (And, if it does say "Mackintosh", I'll eat my bowler hat.)
You can't use the supplied software with Mac OS X. Either install Windows on your Mac, if you wish to use this software, or find out (eg, by googling) what other Mac users do with this camera.

I bought a used Sony DCR - SR 68 video camera, which takes very nice videos. The problems started when I tried to connect the camera to my computer to download the videos; the computer would not recognize the camera. I bought a new patch cord directly for Sony parts, but it made no difference. My question is this; was there supposed to be a CD software disc that came with the camera when it was bought new that a person would download into his/her computer so that the computer would "see" the video recorded when you plugged it into the computer? Any info anyone could send me would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Don
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Don, Please click Here for the trouble shooting steps to get your Camcorder recognized by the computer when connected with an USB cable.
To import your files from the Camcorder to your PC please download the PlayMemories Home software from the link: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DCRSR68&template_id=1®ion_id=1&tab=download#/down... . Thanks- Calvin. -
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.

OS X does not see my Sony DCR-PC110 video camera?
I just got the new all in one 27" MAC and could not wait to start editing my videos. Then a problem, I hook up my Sony DCR-PC110 with fire wire and nothing happens. The camera does not show up in the system at all, and of course Final Cut Express 4.0 show "No Comunication" instead of "VTR OK".
Is this camera no longer supported?
Is there anything I can try to get it to work?
Last but not least, if there is a compatability problem how can I get my collection of the kids video from the digital tape into Final Cut Express?
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.Hi
As I see it - it should work.
See my list (most should apply)
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
*Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
*No Camera or bad import*
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?
Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer. -

@Why is it when I go to open a file in Photoshop cc I get a "Could not complete your request because of a program error". I have uninstalled and re-installed software, It works for a short time then I get that error again when i go to open a file. Thank you!
Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

I am trying not lose my mind - and I won't even go into the Paralells issues.
My Grandmother just had a stroke, and I just want to get the video from some of this summer's parties with her.
Same MacBook, Same Sony DCR-SR68 Handycam, Same IMovie
The only difference is the 'new' 'upgrade'd software. The time I could be spending with my family, I am just drowning in all my computer issues
that I never had before this upgrade.
Help !After plugging in your camcorder, I would run Software update just one more time.
I would also try to see if the app "Image Capture" doesn't see your camcorder. This is found in your applications folder but you can get to it easily by hitting command and space bar to bring up spotlight and then typing "Image Capture".
the current version of iMovie is 9.0.7
you could try creating a new user and seeing if the camera doesn't connect from there.
if it doesn't then you might need to find a friend with a compatible OS until Sony decides to update it's support for OSX.
I looked on their site but it doesn't seem like they've ever supported it with your model.
you might also want to send feedback to apple as to your experience, although their support is limited to their own hardware, so calling Sony might be a better idea...

How to install mdk in nwds for creating mobile applications
Hi experts,
how to install mdk in nwds for creating mobile applications?
reward points for appropriate answer.
Thank you,
G.V.K.PrasdHI,
MDK is already integrated in NWDS. Separate MDK download is only necessary in case you want to use Eclipse as single DEV environmant without the full blown NWDS orwant to develop for earlier versions like MI7.0.
So very important: separate MDK does only support MI7.0 and earlier versions. If this is your intention, simply download MDK plugin, extract the folder, have a look into the download subfolder and you see the ECLIPSEPLUGIN.ZIP file in there. Unzip this as well and then put the related stuff into the FEATURES and the PLUGINS folder of Eclipse. After restarting Eclipse open the settings and add the buttons to the view and configure the correct settings for your system. This is the normal stuff like for every Eclipse plugin. Not 100% sure if this is not included in NWDS as well already.
If you are not sure about PLUGINS and FEATURES stuff and the configuration - the MDK itself has a great documentation that shows the steps you need to follow.
Regards,
Oliver
