I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

  • I'm using a Mac, using OS 10.4.11 and I'm trying to save a downloaded .pdf file in Firefox 3.6.10, what's the easiest way to accomplish that?

    I downloaded a file from Apple, Support and it downloaded as a .pdf file.(http://support.apple.com/manuals/#powermac - item # 38 (4th page 8th item down).
    I want to cut & paste that .pdf into an AppleWorks 6.2.9 word processing document. Using the select All option, so as to highlight the material on the page - I'm not allowed this option(it doesn't do it, thus I can't copy the document and paste it. It's a 7 MB download.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE39?viewlocale=en_US " How to Download Product Manuals (PDF files) states that:
    Using a Mac with Firefox:
    1) Click the manual you want to download. Firefox will ask if you want to open or save the document.
    2) Choose Save and select a location to save the manual.
    The option/process 1) didn't take place - It simply went directly to the window showing that the download was taking place and that window shows what is being D/L and a progress bar.
    In the preference options -->General I have selected "Save files to: Desktop". I have not selected /√ "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file", however, that is exactly what happens.
    Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

    As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

  • I had this video file and I was trying to flip it to a format that would work with iMovie.  It used to have the Quicktime image with it.  So, I assume it was a QT file.  But, somehow I've changed the file from a video to a folder.

  • IPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed.

    iPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed. The import seemed to start normally, I went to mail to check messages, came back to iPhoto & the usual prompt about wanting to delete the photos on the card never came up. The photos didn't show up in events or the library & the device icon wasn't showing so I tried to import again. A prompt then came up saying that I needed to wait until the import was done!

    Hi, this problem is also happening to me also. I just took some pics of my daughter on my nikon d3100 and imported them from SD card to iPhoto. It says 'preparing to import' but during the process i do not see the photos being imported. After it was done, there was a new event album, i clicked opend it to see my photos but all of them were blank. I forced quit and re-launched iPhoto but it didnt work, i even re-imported, not to no avail.. Please help.  Earlly 2011 13' MacBook pro 10.7.2

  • ( Additional ) Bad Quality : Photos Imported from iPhoto6 to iMovie 6

    Although imovie 6 is caught up with a sum of disadvantages of imovie
    5, I observe a new disadvantage which did not exist before.
    With knowknowing:
    In the "multi-media" mitre + "photographs", when I import
    a photograph from iphoto, I observe that the image which is transcribed
    in the screen of the visual display of imovie 6 is of a perfect
    quality.
    For example, a photograph taken with 3,5 Méga pixels with a
    weight of 2 Mo. PRECISION : !!!!!! ( FORMAT IS JPEG ) !!!!!
    The image is perfect, and in the internal adjustments
    with imovie 6 that they are with or without the effect Ken Burns,
    it seems the original.
    However when I decide to apply it in the
    timeline and that I it replay in the visual display, I note that the
    quality of the image was strongly degraded ( very bad quality).
    There are somebody in the specialists or the helpers who can give me explanations and how to cure that,
    because this disadvantage is strongly regrettable and detrimental for me.
    Thanks to you.

    The main point to keep in mind is that before importing your photos, you must have the Ken Burns effect turned on in order to achieve the best quality. Also, remember that the iMovie screen is just there for editing purposes, and does not display the clips at full quality.

  • I open Adobe CC and nothing shows up for me to click on to install Ai, Ps, and Ae....Ive already unistalled and reinstralled. Please assist

    I open Adobe CC and nothing shows up for me to click on to install Ai, Ps, and Ae....Ive already unistalled and reinstralled. Please assist

    I have the same issue, in that the CC Desktop App is Blank when opened.  I tried re-booting, same thing. I tried re-installing the CC Desktop App, same thing.
    I tried "Chat Support"  only to have the agent ask me the same question that I already had filled out what the problem was in the Chat Box, and then they disconnected me because they said I was not responding when I was. So "Chat Support" was of no help at all.
    Paying as much as we are for Creative Cloud, it is really frustrating that it breaks all the time.  The last time I went through this, the only solution was to completely uninstall EVERY Adobe Application, and then reinstall them all.  I really do not want to go through that process again, especially if I have to do it every time the main Creative Cloud Desktop App has issues, which seems to be all the time.  Every time this happens, and I go to the Forums, I find numerous people posting with the same issues.
    When is this going to be properly fixed so we the end users don't have to go through this all the time?? I don't have issues with other applications I have that update from time to time, just Adobe's applications.
    Many of us rely on Adobe Software for business, and there are really not many other options besides Adobe, yet we are forced to interrupt our project workflow all the time to deal with software updates that are not working.  This really needs to stop.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been trying to activate it for some time.  I also had this same program on my previous computer.  How do I de-activate it from that computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been trying to activate it for some time.  I also had this same program on my previous computer.  How do I de-activate it from that computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?

    Hi larrygoynes,
    To transfer the license from one pc to another the step you have to follow is to 'Deactivate' the license first from the older machine.
    To accomplish this you need to Launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate'
    On the new machine you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Activate' the software and this will complete the license transfer.
    You can refer the KB Doc: Activation & Deactivation Help

    FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept for various clients/backup/original versons but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! Will Ineed external hard drive every 5 months?? This can't be I've already resorted to getting rid of unsed applications such as garage band, iTunes,address book ect. I've trashed everything I could. what next ???
    My video files are massive, converting them to a different format doesn't reduce the size of them it just turns them into mp4 or apple pro res ect
    This iMac is for work only so there's no pictures, no music, no conacts, no messenger, no games, nonothing but videos!!

    Have a look at this: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/
    It will show you exactly what is taking up all of your space.
    You also may want to consider some kind of external storage just for your video projects.

    I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?
