How to make the Sony HDR-HC3 work w/ you Mac.

So I bought this amazing camera yesterday only to find out that true to form, Sony does NOT include ANY cables to transfer video from the tape to a computer (windows or Mac). They only supply a usb cable which only transfers pics from the memory stick.
It does work! NO you don't have to do anything special to the settings as I've read in other posts. All you need to do is go to your local electronics store and buy a 6 to 4 pin (Firewire to iLink (Ieee) cable. The iLink port on your camera is actually at the front of your camera next to the lens (there's a hard to see cover).
Open iMovieHD plug in the firewire/iLink cable. iMovie will instantly recognize your camera. If you have it camera mode, it will record. If it's in VCR mode, it will import the video.
Once the video is imported. SAVE your movie immediately because as soon as you do anything, it crashes. Open iMovie back up and the movie is there, edit, play, etc.
However I'm getting FinalCut tomorrow. iMovieHD just isn't that great of a program after all.

I have the MSI DVD DR-8A and i've already burnt over a dozen HD-burn CDs without any problem
My only road block was to find how to use it with nero (it is presented as a different type of disk), but after i read nero doc and chose the right option, it has been flying. I'll report on my media later (i dont have them here).
Edit: I've used
- FujiFilm CDR 80minutes 24x
- Memorex CDR 80 mins 48x
No problem with either, burnt at the maximum 24x HD burn speed.
My only gripe with HD burn is that it does not allow any overburning. Not a bit over the 1400Meg limit. not a big problem, though.
Also, be cautious on WHAT you burn. CD are not a very good archival method. They can degrade quite fast and i would bet that HD-burn, being more precise, is more sensitive to those degradations too.

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8 as a control surface ?

In YAMAHA01v96i:
Go to DIO/SETUP select Generic DAW. Go to MIDI settings page and set the desired port (personally I use Number 1), Select the same audio frequency you use in your DAW (I use 44.1KhZ)...at this point You should save a scene in you 01V96i to avoid to repeat all the procedure again.
Open studio manager, go to patch and set the input port from 17 to 32 respectively to USB1-USB16 (this will give you the return from you DAW to the 01v96i
Save again the scene overwriting the old one.
in LOGIC
Click on preferences, select Audio then select 01v96i, then click on control surface and select Mackie design Baby HUI and in the midi session set the same port that you've been setting on the Yamaha 01V96i (Port 1 if you follow this example).
That's more or less it.
It worked for me...so far

How to make the rating/flagging feature work with impromptu slideshow?

I have LR 5.2 and when I review newly imported images with an impromptu slideshow to rate and flag the image in the slideshow, the relevant "flag as pick" or "set as rejected" notification shows on the screen but at the end of the slideshow only the first image is picked or rejected and the rest remain unchanged.
I have tried the fix that adobe published for 5.0 - changing the ui.dll but that fix prevents LR5.2 from loading alltogether.
Any suggestions please?

the ui.dll is for 5.0 only, not compatible with 5.2, and since the fix was incorporated in 5.2, ui.dll is no longer needed.
Unfortunately, I can't help with the pick flags - they sorta work on my copy, but slideshow has been so problematic for me for so long that I just don't use it. In the tests I just did for you to check the pick flags - first test: the pick flags did not work correctly (behavior as you stated), the rest of the tests the pick flags worked properly, but something else didn't. e.g. which monitor was used changed between tests, and the manual slideshow became automatic at full speed. In all tests the color/tone are off.
Lr's impromptu slideshow is useless for me - made worse over time, not better.
Sorry I've not been more help, but that's all I got...
PS - I use ShowBiz for in-Lr slideshows - has not all the bells/whistles, but at least it works, and it's full-screen (in Lr5) too, which I like.

How to make the Access Gate SDK work with Web Gate

When we want control the display of one area in one page, we can define this area as one resource then control the access of it. But when the user has been authenticated in the application, how can we get the user session and then call Access Gate SDK to check if the user is authorized? The following is one utility class to archive it.

}

Couple of options. You seem have to taken the Access Gate based approach. I will throw this in any way and you can make a call which one you want to use.
If its a web application you can control authorization based on Resource by defining policy in the Access Manager.
You mentioned aout display of one area in one page. That should be driven off of User attribute or custom logic. If it is driven off of User attribute then you can return header variable and you can check in the code as opposed to writing custom access gate.
Now if you do want to write custom access gate when the resource is already protected by a Web gate,
you can get the ObSSOCookie from the users browser session.
You can pass the URL to the IsAuthorized method and call.
Now here you have to install the Access Server SDK on the server, create custom access gate and then write the code and deploy it on that server.

How to Make the Win7 Enterprise ISO work with Boot Camp?

Hey...
So I've acquired a new MBA. I didn't really want to considering all the issues out there (of which so far the volume fluctuation issues applies to me as well), but on Friday I need to bring some kind of laptop with me on a trip to record a song for a wedding next month. And for that, to make it worse, I need Winblows.
So I got the Windows 7 Enterprise evaluation ISO. I let Boot Camp modify it and write it to a USB stick.
But when I boot into the thing, I never get to actually install Windows, because I get "Install Windows": "Windows Setup encountered an internal error while loading or searching for an unattend answer file."
What to do??!?!!

Hmmm... That's strange!
Seems there are some differences between DVDs for Windows 7 that the Apple tool doesn't know how to handle?
The image I used to install with was the "7600.16385.090713-1255_x64fre_client_en-us_OEM_Ultimate-GRMCULXFREO_EN_DVD.iso " one — I believe I downloaded this from Microsoft at some point when they had it up for developer trials or something?
The MD5 sum of that image is dad9f7a0b4d5d928a6a67ba6cd896350. You can check yours in Terminal by writing "md5 <path to your image file>".
Perhaps if yours is different, you can find that other image online somewhere.

Anybody know how to make the upgrade kit remote work with Vi

I have a X-Fi extreme music & an upgrade kit.{ remote & receiver} The remote will allow me to select music tracks under the the entertainment center, but will not control the volume. I can push +-or - volume all day long, but it always says 00% and dosn't change in intensity. Any Ideas?

Hi
I take it you have used the youp-pax software? If not, then do so. Install revision 2. I did this and my remote is fully working once more.
Must admit I am a little annoyed creative did not provide a link to youp-pax for people wanting to update their drivers. They could have said it was use at your own risk etc, but instead I had to waste two weeks fiddling with vista until I discovered it.

How to make the JMX custom authentication work ?

I am using the password and access file based authentication on JMX. When building my JMXConnectorServer, i use the property names and it works fine.
    Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<String, String>();
    env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_PWD_FILE_PROP, pwdFile);
    env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_ACCESS_FILE_PROP, accFile);
    connectorServer = JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(jmxServiceURL, env, mBeanServer);However, now i want to use a custom authenticator and i implemented my own LoginModule to have a encrypted password in the password file. Thus the ideas is to have an encrypted password and plain text user name in the password file.
    public class ABCDJMXLoginModule implements LoginModule {
        private CallbackHandler callbackHandler;
        private Subject subject;
        private String u_username;
        private String u_password;

                callbackHandler.handle(callbacks);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                logger.error("IOException", e);
            } catch (UnsupportedCallbackException e) {
                logger.error("UnsupportedCallbackException", e);
            u_username = ((NameCallback) callbacks[0]).getName();

            logger.info("Password : " + u_password);
            System.arraycopy(tmpPassword, 0, u_password, 0, tmpPassword.length);
            ((PasswordCallback) callbacks[1]).clearPassword();
        private void loadPasswordFile() throws IOException {
            FileInputStream fis = null;
            passwordFile = "c:\\abcd.jmx.enc.password.file";
            try {
                fis = new FileInputStream(passwordFile);
            } catch (SecurityException e) {
                logger.error("Security Exception", e);
            BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
            userCredentials = new Properties();
            userCredentials.load(bis);
            bis.close();
            f_username = u_username;
            f_password = (String) userCredentials.get(f_username);

            logger.info("Password from file before Decrypt : " + f_password);
            // decrypt the password from file and later compare it with user password from JConsole
            if (f_password != null) f_password = Cryptography.decrypt(f_password);
            logger.info("Password from file after Decrypt : " + f_password);
    }When i use the following code and try to connect via JConsole nothing happens.
    Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<String, String>();
    env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_PWD_FILE_PROP, pwdFile);
    env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_ACCESS_FILE_PROP, accFile);
    env.put("jmx.remote.x.login.config", "com.splwg.ejb.service.management.ABCDJMXLoginModule");
    connectorServer = JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(jmxServiceURL, env, mBeanServer);Any ideas on why this happens ? For sure, i am also not coming into the ABCDJMXLoginModule class - I have some print statements there and none of them get printed. Any sort of ideas and solutions are appreciated. I tried with the property "com.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config" too. I was expecting that mentioning the property in the environment and passing it to the JMXCOnnectorServer would do all the trick.
Am i missing something ?

Does Sony hdr-sr11 work on a Mac?

I can't seem to find any straight answers as to whether I've boufght a great camcoder which I can't actually use, or if it can actually be used on a Mac with iMovie. I was under the impression iMovie 08 was the stipultion, I have iLife 11 but nothing really happens when I plug in the camcorder. I select 'Connect USB' on the unit and the HD appears on the desktop. I can seee the stills as jpgs but the rest (presumably the movies) all seem to be exec icons which are a PC file. Is there a way of importing the moview to edit or do I list it on eBay!!?

Just realised, it does work!... you have to have iMovie open - I thought it's launch it when conected.

Canon HV10 or Sony HDR-HC3 for iMovie HD 6

In case you're interested…
I'm in the process of reviewing both the Canon HV10 and the Sony HDR-HC3. Both use Mini DV tapes. I've heard hard disk models don't work with iMovie HD6.
I've tried both on my Intel iMac at 2.16 Gz and this is what happened…
Sony HC3
I used Firewire cable (must be Firewire - Sony calls it iLink) and plugged in the cam with iMovie already opened. Clicked to the camera icon and… Nothing happened. There was no recognition of the camcorder at all. Zilch. I fiddled, checked the camcorder's audio was set to 16bit and changed several prefences in iMovie but still nothing. I had previously set the cam's time too. I've since learned the HC3 and many other Sony's are incompatible with iMovie HD. It's a lovely camcorder but unless you download some extra software – as mentioned in the forums – it ain't gonna work.
Canon HV10
Performed the same Firewire connections and, lo, the camcorder was detected and I was able to begin importing HD visuals. But then… On immediate playback after importing I noticed the audio was running at half speed – subtley – the visuals too. I spent hours shooting short bits, importing them with other settings, and every time voices came out low and slurred. My wife sounded like a bloke. I posted the problem here and someone told me the HD takes a long time to render. So bear that in mind. And don't be impatient like me.
In this instance, the Canon wins.
Apple iMac 2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Apple iMac 2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Apple iMac 2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Apple iMac 2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm really confused now. I've set the HC3's settings to HDV (not Auto) and the iLink Conv to OFF. And still no joy. I've even tried 'Magic Movie' for which it searched for a camera but found nothing. I know the Firewire cable works because I've used it on the Canon and my own, older Digital-8 Sony Handycam.
