How to make iMovie to read ADVC-110???

I'm struggling how to make iMovie to recognize my Canopus ADVC-110 so I can transfer my VHS tapes to iMovie..
Pleease help

Hi s
< When I open up iMovie HD - which video format do I use? >
• DV
• Go down under the viewer window and You can select Camera or a pare of siccors.
Camera should have a black triangle and let You select iSight or ADVC. If not it doesn't detect the
ADVC
• Most probably it is. 6-pin end is about double the size and is rectangular eccept on short end that
are curved to prevent wrong turning
4-pin end is smaller and has an indent on one of it's longer sides for same reason.
If it is not dectected on either of Your Macs it indicates a problem with either the ADVC or the FW-Cable.
• The Cable is far more often the problem. Try to borrow another one and test.
HERE Comes my long long list. Use it with care - not all apply to Your situation.
I would print-out and cheque off those that are usably. No guarantee at all.
Capture/Import problems:
a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
(except for some Canon-Cameras)
c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
e) Bad RAM-chips
f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
g) FW-wire cable OK?
h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)
o) NEW (from Sue/SDillini):
Trash the Font Collections Folder.
These files are found:
/YourUserName/Library/FontCollections folder.
Drag the folder to the trash and launch iMovie. iMovie will create a new FontCollections folder containing the files it needs when it next opens.
p) or thrashing the com.apple.imovie.plist file (Rodney Brown2)
q) - Other programs interfering like Flip4Mac
r) - Third party or old plug-ins
May be You find some help in my list:
Mac:
• hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
◊ Rebuild Desktop (Tech-tool or fingersetting during start-up) (System up to 9)
◊ Reset PRAM (Tech-tool or keyboard finger settings alt-cmd-P-R ??)
◊ Reset PMU ( Restting the PMU...is the the alt-ctrl-shift and powerbutton shortcut? ) (Sue)
PMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760
PMU/SMU are essentially the same in the PM G5.
◊ Reset SMU
SMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
• software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
◊ Other programs that interferes like Flip4Mac
◊ Codecs added to QuickTime
◊ Old plug-ins to iMovie or third party alike
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.
More:
◊ follow advises here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43000
◊ follow Grandmaster Dan's advice for Sony cameras here: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5020.shtml
NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn i.Link Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have i.Link conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

How to make iMovie 09 recognize a mounted disk image?

I'm trying to store video clips in a disk image (Mac OS Extended - Journaled, single Apple Partition Map). Previously in iMovie 08 all I had to do was mount the image, start iMovie and it would recognize it as an additional drive. Then I could drag events to it and store them there. In 09 this does not work. It sees the image but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point in it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it recognize the image! I've tried all variations in disk utility to create the image to no avail. Is iMovie 09 looking for a certain file on the disk image to recognize it? Maybe something in the DS_Store file or the .localized? Very frustrating.
Hoping someone can help. Thanks.

Try the following:
Mount the disk image so that there is a disk icon on the Desktop, and then launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). Copy-paste the following line into the Terminal window, and then type a single space. Do not type <Return> yet:
sudo mdutil -i on
After typing the single space, drag the mounted disk image icon from the Desktop into the Terminal window, click inside the Terminal window, and then type <Return>. Enter your admin password at the prompt (it will not echo on the screen), and again type <Return>.
Hopefully that will enable Spotlght indexing on the mounted image. It might take some time to complete depending on the contents.
The result for this for me, three times, was "Indexing disabled."

How to make iMovie the default for importing from video camera?

I successfully imported 5 or 6 mini discs from the video camera, then on the next download attempt I saw a pop-up box. The box said something like "what program do you want as the default for downloading?" I was thinking iMovie, but apparently clicked iTunes (too many iTerms), and now when I put the camera into PC CONNECT mode, iMovie won't start up as it had before. How do iReverse my mistake and make iMovie the default again.
P.S. - I already tried Preferences in iMovie and in Finder.

If you are talking about having the default be Hebrew-Qwerty, then just make sure that in system preferences/language & text/input sources you have only one box checked, the one for Hebrew-Qwerty.
There is also an opportunity to choose this during initial setup, you have to click on a button to have it show you all the keyboard options, I can't remember.

How to make my card reader open in camera raw when I insert sd card with Canon 6d images and also link to CC version Ps?

How do I make camera raw and photoshop cc open when I insert sd card from 6d canon. this canon code was not supported in my cs5 Ps.

I could see you wanting LR ,Bridge or some other image organizer to open. ACR is not a start able application and Photoshop has no feature to import images from your camera's sd media to computers storage devices. I just use Windows File explorer. Look at your OS learn how to change you card reader's autoplay settings. On windows you will find information like this.

HOW TO MAKE FIELDS AS READ ONLY IN TABLE MAINTAINANCE

HI ABAPers,
HOW TO MAKE SOME FIELDS AS DISPLAY MODE.
FOR SUPPOSE, THERE ARE 5 FIELDS in SM30.
AMONG THEM 1 FIELD SHUD BE USED FOR EDITING AND THE OTHER 4 FIELDS SHUD ONLY BE USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSE
WHEN EVER I ENTER A VALUE IN THAT 1 PARTICULAR FIELD THEN THE DATA OF THE REMAINING 4 FIELDS SHUD BE DISPLAYED IN THE SAME SCREEN ITSELF.
HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE...
PLZ HELP.
THNX IN ADV,
SP.

Hello SP,
You can create a maintenance view for the table & here you can define the maintenance attribute for individual fields.
For the fields you want to be READ-ONLY pass 'R' to those fields. (It is the 4th column from the left, the one to the immediate left of the Key column).
Don't change the TMG function group directly. If you regenerate the TMG the changes would be overwritten !
You can use the Event '01' to fulfill your requirement:
*&      Form f_event_01
*       text
FORM f_event_01.
DATA: v_indx TYPE sy-index,
        v_land1 TYPE land1,
        v_name1 TYPE name1.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <vendor> TYPE lifnr,
                 <val> TYPE ANY.
BREAK-POINT.
"TOTAL contains all data which are read, changed and created in TMG
LOOP AT total.
    IF <action> = neuer_eintrag " New Entry.
    OR <action> = aendern "Changed entry
    OR <action> = original. "Same as DB
      READ TABLE extract WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        v_indx = sy-tabix.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR v_indx.
      ENDIF.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT 'LIFNR' OF STRUCTURE total TO <vendor>.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
*     select data from the LFA1 based on LIFNR
      SELECT SINGLE name1 land1 FROM lfa1
        INTO (v_name1,v_land1)
        WHERE lifnr = <vendor>.

      ASSIGN COMPONENT 'NAME1' OF STRUCTURE total TO <val>.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
      <val> = v_name1.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT 'LAND1' OF STRUCTURE total TO <val>.

How to make a page read only

Hi all,
Can anyone please help me out on the following issue.
How to make a total page read only, so that he/she can not make any changes. I want the total page read only.
Do we have any functions to do that?
I need to do through peoplecode only because i have to check a condition.
Please help me.
Thank you,
Bye.

Without customizing, this may be accomplished via Permission List Security.
Go to PeopleTools - Security - Permission List
Select the desired Permission List. Click on the Pages tab.
Find the menu and click on "Edit Components" hyperlink.
Find the Component on the List and click on the "Edit Pages" hyperlink.
Click on the Display Only check box for each page in the component you wish Display Only.
If that does not sufice, you may use PeopleCode to set the Field DisplayOnly property to true for those editable fields that you wish not to be.

How to make iMovie HD work in OS X.8 - 10

Saw many posts of people asking about how to get it to work with "Rosetta" and I took some hints from there.
Here's what I did:
Right click iMovie HD and Show Package Contents
Go into the Contents folder
Use PList Edit Pro to edit the Info.plist file:
Change "Application requires native environment" to "NO"
Change the following strings:
Get Info string
InfoDictionary version
Bundle versions string, short
Bundle version
for ALL of them, change the current version number to "10.0.6"
File:Save
Use PList Edit Pro to edit the version.plist file:
Change:
CFBundeShortVersionString
CFBundleVersion
for all of them, change the current version number to "10.0.6"
File:Save
That's it, it will now work on the newer OS X versions.

I think I solved my problem by running the following command:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver diradmin
diradmin is the name of the Open Directory admin account I created.
The Open Directory Service now appears "off" and no longer had the green dot next to it in the list of services.
Obviously, NOT a good solution to someone who was actively using Open Directory as this appears to have deleted all the data associated with Open Directory.
Users and Groups now allow me to add/delete/modify.
Sad to see an Apple product have such issues.

A tip how to make iMovie '08 rescan the iPhoto library for video clips

I could not figure out how to easily force iMovie '08 to rescan all iPhoto library video clips. My problem was that my Casio S880 videos had the audio format DVI ADPCM which is not supported by iMovie '08. I made a script which transcoded all my iPhoto library videos' audio track to AAC. But after this was done, the iMovie didn't still show them in iPhoto videos. iMovie checks only for NEW entries in iPhoto Library after last scan.
One simple workaround is to duplicate the transcoded video in iPhoto and then delete the original. But if you have a lot of clips here is a better way to do this:
NOTE: This trick does not reimport already imported clips. This trick is useful only if you want to force iMovie '08 to recheck old iPhoto movie clips if they are now valid for iMovie '08 or not.
1. Close iMovie '08
2. Open file HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist with the Property List Editor application (I think the application is part of Apple Developer Tools, I'm not sure if included in default installation). You may want to take a backup of the property file before opening it!
3. Find "lastiPhotoXMLDate" property and change the date value to be some older date, for example if you want to scan all files just change the year part to 1980 or similar.
4. Save the property file
5. Open iMovie '08, it should now check all iPhoto movie clips again if they are valid for iMovie '08.
The same thing can be achieved by just deleting the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist file, but then you lose all your other settings.

I apologize for my confusion on your question. I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo. It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer. If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds. For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

How to make form field read only for users with certain permissions

We need to make two form fields read only for users with certain permissions. Kindly guide me on how to do this in Infopath. I searched and there is an option to disable to the column, but no option to select user permissions.
Please give your suggestion on this.
thanks.

Hi,
See the link below:

Here you can add the fomatting action on the field to disable the field if those users belong to certain Sharepoint group (does not matter the permission levels though). Hope it helps.

How to make Select List Read only (Keep key Data)

I'd like to make a select list read only when the screen is in maintenance mode because the select list value is part of the key.
However, when I make the select list read only, the update fails because it appears making it disable lose's it's value.
How can I make a select list read only and keep it's value for update.

In HTML Header I have
<script type="text/javascript">
function Disable_List(pthis,hideitem)
if ($x(hideitem).value == 'Y')
{ $x(pthis).disabled = "disabled";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Load_Start()
Disable_Item('P5_SUBCODE','P5_XW_HAS_VALUE');
Disable_List('P5_LTY','P5_XW_HAS_VALUE');
</script>
When I click apply changes, my Validation check that doesn't allow nulls in the "P5_LTY" fires saying the field can't be null. The select list is grayed out and I see the value, but the validation check thinks it's null.

How to make iMovie working after update to iOS5?

Expect iMovie to be updated when it iOS5 is released later this year.
Until then your on your own.
We cannot help you.
You will have to talk to Apple via your developer account.

How to make iMovie 08 record back to camcorder

Cant figure this out. Share doesn't list camera. Export neither.

+I have all 10 volumes of slick.+
Nice! I have only about 3 of them, but I use them with every movie I make. They wouldn't work with Intel iMac....I copied them over from my old G4 iMac, but GeeThree has universal updates for all their volumes. I just emailed them and they were great about getting me the updates quickly via email link to their download site.
I'm with you about iM08....I think they should have called it iVideo and marketed it as a nice addition to the iLife Suite. The salespeople at Apple Store around here said that the new iMovie was a response to numerous people who just found it 'way too hard' to work with iMovie 6!! LOL!!!
I did do a short little movie with FCE just to see how to work with it. It seems to be a great program, but it takes time and is not so intuitive as iMovie6, nor does have iTunes and iPhoto integrated into it. I did like the different tracks. I think I will probably work with it sometime in the future, but I have been working on a huge project to put all our family video and photos onto DVDs.
So far, I have done so for the years 1979 (the year our daughter was born) to 1995. I feel I really have iMovie6 down now, and it seems to go fast once I get the photos scanned in and edited. I am currently working on 1996. That year and 1997 and 1998 are 'bigger' event years, but 2000-2004 are less, so I am hoping to get those done more quickly. Once I finish 2006 and 2007, I plan to go backwards and make a couple of DVDs from the 'early' years of each side of the family for my husband's and mine. (We have some photos from 1890s).Then, my large, time-consuming projects will be done and I can start doing a bit more creative stuff, working a bit more with FCE and maybe iMovie 09 or 10 or whatever version it is up to then

How to make form as read only when another time as user sees it..

Hi All,
I have a form to raise the issue. once the issue is raised it appears in the issue raised reports( that is form on a report )
so all can view this report and click on issue no ..the form with details appear .
but i want to restrict it , by allowing only one up manager to view the form on a report in editable format rest all can just view it .
how can i do this?????????
can any one help me with this ????..
my approach is like this ...
a column called "checked shud be added to issue table , then its values must be set to "raised" when issue is submitted for the very first time..( so it is zero when the end user is submitting it ).
when ( the logged in user =1 up manager or checked!="raised") then
form fields to be displayed as edited
else
form fields need to be read only .
Thanks & Regards,
Nandini Thakur.

Nandini,
If you edit any item, you can see a section where you can specify "Read-Only" condition. Here you can write your read-only logic using SQL OR PL/SQL or predefined conditions.
