HT1014 Not having much luck with this iMac!

can not import my photos from pc(via migration) and have given up on that, now found my camcorder is not compatable with iMovie, does anyone know of another movie type app that might work for an incompatible camcorder ? Camcorder is sonydcr hc14e. Grrrr, thought it would be plain sailing with i-mac!

This camera works on Macs. It is a standard definition DV tape camera. However, you need a Firewire port. Not all Macs have a Firewire port, but most iMacs do. Some of the laptops do not.
Check to see if you have a Firewire port on your Mac. You can click /About This Mac/More Info/System Report to tell for sure.
If you have a Firewire 400 port, you need a 4 pin to 6 pin Firewire cable.
If you have a Firewire 800 port, you need a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable.
Your Sony camera will have an IEEE 1394 port. This is what Sony calls Firewire and this is where you use the 4 pin end of the cable.
Firewire cables are available inexpensively here.

Some recents Macs only have a Thunderbolt port. There are Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptors available, but I have not tried them.
To import from this camera, attach it via Firewire Cable. Set the mode to Playback. Camera must be plugged in to AC power (not batteries only.) Use FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA.

Just Not Having Any Luck With E-Mail Address, ect.

Kuduo,
First off thank you so much for just doing this!!! I have been dealing with the company, and it's a nightmare!
I am still getting nowhere as far a establishing a e-mail address for the e- what ever it's called on my printer.
I have a new hp photosmart all in one D 110 A, and I finally did get it to work without using a usb cable, even
if the print out tells me that I should change it as I caould have others use, see my things. I do use my wire-
less computer(laptop) to obtain a connection, and get a very good one from some new neighbor. I do not
want to chage it, and the report at one point even said it was "critical"
I have printed out several time the things it tells you to, but have yet to see any e-mail address???!!! So just
what is the scoope on this anyway?
I do know that it took me forever , and also alone to even figure out how to use my printer without the usb cord,
and for now she is working fine.
The one problem is that it does start to print off the wall, and also I hace change the settings 10 times from
color to black, but it only goes back to prihting COLOR!!!!!
Thanks For Your Help In Advance
Debbie

Enable Web Services from the front of the printer.
What operating system are you using and I can give you a hint about the color/black thing.

I am trying to understand my Console System Log Queries, but not having much luck!!

I am trying to understand my MB late 2011, much better than I do, whilst looking through my console messages, I realised I don't have a clue as too whats what, I seem to be getting a lot of system errors - Is this normal?
Why are Mac Books soooo complicated - !
I would copy and paste my system messages - but once again I am 2 thick - don't know which bits - if any would need editing!
Any advise would be a great help.
Thankyou in advance.

You would use the Input button on your remote to set the Input to RGB PC and you'll also need audio cables to the TV because the Mini-DVI does not carry audio using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plug. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plug on your TV.
When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

Not having much luck running Windows 8 in BootCamp

Just updated to OS 10.8.3 and downloaded the updated Bootcamp driver that are supposed to support windows 8.
However after installing when windows starts up, it is confined to less that 1/4 of the screen on the left side, the rest is black screen. And I cannot see hardly anything just some background.
I tried using VMWare Fusion 5 to run bootcamp as a vm and it works perfect. I was able to complete the setup and load windows. After that my thought was to try and run the bootcamp drivers setup from inside the VM but it wouldn't let me run it.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I would navigate the usb sticks with the drivers on
to get to amd/ati or nvidia to manually install the video card drivers
the reason vmware works is that it being a virtual machine does not use
the real video card drivers for the video card which bootcamp does (which is why we can play games from there)

Try'n to move emails to another provider, not having much luck

fios isn't avail where I live, and DSL is painfully slow here.
So need to export emails and contacts to new provider, there has to be an easier way that forwarding 1 email at a time.
try'd using the other email providers tool to import emails and contacts, and get yahoo doesn't allow that now try back later.
I'm sure when I cancel my DSL service my mail will be gone.
how would I move all the emails and contacts in bulk..
Thanks

Forwarding email in bulk is not normally supported. At least I've not seen a provider who provided that function.
The easiest solution would be to use an email program such as Thunderbird to download the email to your computer. You could then store and forward them to your new provider as needed. Or just continue to use Thunderbird rather than face similar issues if you switch ISPs again. There are other programs besides Thunderbird which will do the same thing, but that is the one I'm familiar with.

I am trying to pair a Casio Gzone Ravine 2 to my IPad and not having much luck, any suggestions?

iPad and phone pair but when I try to turn on connection IPad says not supported.

For what purpose? The iPad only has the BT profiles for keyboards, speakers, headsets, car systems and sharing an internet connection. You can't transfer files over BT.

Recording vinyl with Audacity - not having any luck

I'm trying to record my vinyl collection using audacity and not having much luck. I've got the line in and can get the red recording cursor moving but no waveform appears. I have followed the info on the wiki but I cannot get any further.
The wiki is all over the place with info. Does anyone have an idiots guide?
thanks

One of the issues 'glossed over' in the article is that a Mac expects to see a line-level input and many turntables (like mine) need a small pre-amplifier )like this one http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2541471&cp=&sr=1&origkw=li nelevel&kw=linelevel&parentPage=search ) to furnish the proper audio level.
It sounds like this the the original poster's problem.
Another approach is to use the line-level output from your audio amplifier (if you still have one) because the audio amp should have the phono pre-amp built-in.

anyone have any help they can offer?

If you're starting from scratch learning InDesign, know that it's difficult to learn just by asking a few questions. You'll do much better either by buying an excellent, inexpensive book by Sandee Cohen:

DO NOT Get The Service With This Company IF You Want to Receive a Good Customer Service

It is really a pain, dissatisfaction, and a lot more when you have Verizon as your service provider. I have been having service for my cellphones with Verizon for over 3 years, and did not have any major problems, so when I moved to my new place I thought it’s better to get the Fios, and have one bill for my all Verizon services. I went online and started to order my products online. During ordering, the chat session opened and I started chatting with the Customer Service Rep in order to get help through the process. When we were in the step that I could order the home phone plan, I saw the International World Plan, and I asked the lady to give me some information about this plan. I asked her that I want to call to my country and I mentioned my country’s name to her as well. I asked her that if this service is available for my country, and she said “Yes” you can call to over 100 countries with this service and she encouraged me to get the 300 minutes service. Since the plan sounded good to me I decided to get the 500 minutes instead of 300 min, and after I ordered my plan, I started calling overseas, and happy that I am paying less than the Phone cards with this plan. On March 26 I received my bill, and saw that Verizon charged me 142 $ for the less than 200 minutes that I called to my country, and there was a Letter “N” in front of each phone calls. I checked the guide to see what does “N” mean, and I saw that it said N means “Denoted calls are NOT listed in World Plan”. Well, thanks to the lady who gave me the wrong information while I was ordering my plan online, but she or the Verizon company is not that much lucky because I printed my chat session the day I ordered my plan since I wanted to have the information of what I actually had ordered. That time I did not think that I may get in trouble like this. Since March 27th, I have been calling Verizon every other day, and I have explained my issue to more than 10 Customer Service Reps, and each of them asked me to fax my chat session to them. I have been faxing that to all the numbers that they gave me, and I am keep faxing them, but do not get any respond. One of the Verizon’s Supervisors, whose name is Mark, called twice on my home phone number during the daytime, around 3 pm, and he left massages. On his second massage, he said that he checked the plan and my country is not listed in the International World Plan. He just said this, and he said that he was going to call me back, but never happened. He also did not leave me any phone number that I could call back. Also, since my cellphones are listed in the same bill as my other products, he could easily see the other numbers that he could call and reach me, but he did not bother himself to do so. I have even changed my home voice mail greeting addressing to Verizon, and left my cellphone number in voice mail greeting. I am so sorry that I have to say this, but this seems a definite fraud to me. I did not know about this plan, and I asked the Customer Service Rep to help me. She was responsible to check my country, or at least let me know how I could find out about the coverage. This is ridiculous, and if Verizon cannot take over this problem, my lawyer will take the action over, and takes the issue to their corporate court. I am not going to give up about this, and I decide to give Verizon about a week or so to solve this issue, but I won’t wait more than that. Just a friendly advice to people who want to get the home service through Verizon: DO NOT Get The Service With This Company IF You Want to Receive a Good Customer Service. There is nothing about taking care of customer in this company, and you are going to be stuck with what you get.

I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro

I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that. there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
<Re-Titled by Host>

FTFY (for readability):
"I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
What model of Mac do you have?
What version of OSX are you using?
What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
Best of luck.

I'm having bad luck with motherboards from Newegg.

Hi all,
I have successfully built several systems from the ground up with motherboards from Microcenter. However, I'm having no luck with the 2 motherboards i got from Newegg.
The first one, ASUS P6T, would not reboot unless the reset button was pressed a few times. Then i ordered the GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 X58. I had high hopes but it too came out of the box with a problem. It start/stops/starts/stops.... I discovered that if i remove the 8pin power connecter, the mb starts but still will not post. I removed and replaced all components including the PSU and still no joy.

The original PSU i got two weeks ago for the new system is a PC Power & Cooling (PP&C )910 watt unit. I think thats plenty of power. The PSU tester diaplays the following:
+5V = 5.3
-12V = 12.2
+12V1 = 12.3
+12V2 = 12.3
+3.3V = 3.4
5VSB = 5.3
P.G. = 300ms
I plugged the PP&C 910w PSU as well as a completely different 400w PSU into the GA-EX58-UD5 with the following components removed - no drives, cards or case fans and all drive/audio/usb connectors disconnected - just the i7 920 CPU and ram - the mb acted in the same manner. Actually, its the PSU that's reacting to the motherboard i think. I can hear both PSU's "click" like its tripping a breaker then resetting - hence the mb starting and stopping.
Anyway, after i removed some and then all of the ram, the system started without stopping but still no post. I have also been getting a debug error code of 62. From what i understand, the error code indicates that the motherboard is not recognizing the ram.
It would appear that your both wrong in this case.
I searched the internet and found some posts where either the bios has to updated to accept ram i have or the ram has to be replaced with something the GA-EX58-UD5 likes. In one post, the current ram, Crucial DDR3 1066 (thats what i got), was replaced with Corsair XMS3 1333 ram and the system booted up.
I'll keep you updated.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.
when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

Is Windows 7 64-bit Compatible with This iMac late 2013 ?

Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
Hardware and software:
• Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 32 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive Flash
* 4GB Graphic Card
• Mac OS 10.9.1
• USB thumb drive 2.0 16GB
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
• Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image
Install steps:
1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create Equal partition (500GB) on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
4. Select 500 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
5. Select 500 GB partition again and click "Next"
6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
7. Install quits at this point
I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Joe

Hi, Indeed. I am selecting the Bootcamp partition, and If I do Format, It informs me that all we be deleted, ok fair enough. then I can click the NEXT button, but I got then a msg stating :
Setup was u nable to create a new system partion or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup Log Files for more informations.
I have not more option here, I can delete, then create a new one with same size then format again, but same message at the end. this is my issue.
A guy done a Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD7dbSl9-b8
I am all ok up to 5min 50 on the video. Then My issue is what he has....
However, when he format the partition he does not have my error msg stating Setup was unable to create. etc...
This is my issue.
