I can capture with iMovie 6, but not with FCP 6.0 ('no data from device')

I didn't have any problem with FCP 5, but am getting nowhere with FCP 6 using the same settings (I think). FCP seems to see the camcorder, but can't control it and, even if I manually start the camera, reports 'no data from device' when I do a 'Capture Now'. Device control isn't critical, but I'd sure like to find out why it doesn't see the data stream from the camera (Sony HDR-HC7 / FW400). I must be missing a setting some place, but sure can't find it. On the other hand, I have full device control and zero dropout capture with iMovie (exact same hardware configuration). Any ideas?

canopus works fine, as well as all other devices.
i have tons of tapes and tried a few, none worked.
i tried to capture on both my new imac and my mbpro, no way.
but now i'm sure there is something wrong with the sony handycam, i tried to import with my old final cut studio, and it's not possible, also. fc pro says: waiting for timecode.
so i'm confused now. does the sony dcr-trv not send a timecode? maybe, and this will explain the troubles. but on the other hand i imported successfully some footage with exact this device.
maybe i used the canopus then to correct the timebase, i can't remember how i did it. but this would mean i have to accept loss of quality, since i have to connect the sony with s-vhs with the canopus and convert it.
right now i'm importing a tape with imovie and will have a look how the result is, but as far as i remember, the audio has to be re-rendered when importing in fcpx…
My finger is pointing to a Timecode issue.
Is timecode enabled in the camera?
Is it continuous on the tape?

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

YEAY!
I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
Worked like a charm.

My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter). Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it Thanks, - Matt Symes

OK - I appear to have resolved the issue. I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.

Wireless video link example works with antenna only but not with SMA to SMA cable

I am trying to run wireless video link example https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22728 . It works fine if I use install antennas on my Tx and Rx USRPs. But it does not work if I use SMA to SMA cable to connect Tx and Rx USRPs. Can somebody guide me what is the reason why it is only workng with antennas but not with SMA to SMA cable.
Thanks
JK

I connect the 30 dB attenuator at RF input port of Rx USRP. But it does not work completely.
Without connecting attenuator i was not able to receive any thing on my Rx VI although it shows waveform. But after connecting attenuator receiver some times receive text messages and some times not. Also it does not work at all for images and for video it works partially but gives some error related to memory full after few mins.
I want to know why this example works completely without any problem if I use antennas, and why it does not work perfectly if i use sma to sma cable for connecting transmit and receive usrps.
Please guide
Thanks

Macbook Pro 7,1 (mid 2010?) boot with 6GB mem, but not with 8GB

Hello,
I bought a Macbook Pro 13" equipped with 4GB RAM at Apple Store on Oct-2010, and it says it's Macbook Pro 7,1 in profiler.
I tried to upgrade the RAM from 2GBx2 to 4GBx2, but the MBP freezed in boot sequence with 8GB RAM.
After some tests, including swap and change the combination of memory modules, I found my MBP can boot with 2+4GB configuration, but not with 4+4GB.
Does anyone know similar issue on the latest MBP 13"?

This is a memory speed problem - check here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13154160#13154160
When using 2+4 gb, memory speed is choosen, based on the slowest dimm - the 2gb one (1066mHz), when using single/double 4gb - speed is 1333mHz).
You can see the memory speed in diagnostic mode. I'm trying some stuff, if I succeed, I'll post my way.
ps. Changing 4gb memory sodimms to 1066mHz will solve your problem. Or if apple fixes the efi to downclock the 1333mhz ones (which btw every pc can do from the bios).

ESR,ID working with 8000 port but not with 50000

Hi experts,
I am working with PI 7.1. I am working with SOAP to ABAP SERVER Proxy scenario. I have downloaded the WSDL from ID and using XMLSPY sent a SOAP request to PI server and I got an error in SXMB_MONI under the Call Adapter step saying CLIENT_RECEIVE_FAILED.
We cross checked the services in SMICM transaction, and we missed the HTTP port 8000 for the parameter icm/servr/port_xx.
Then basis team changed the port 8000 in SMICM for the same parameter and restarted the Java stack.we checked the icm/HTTP/j2ee parameter which is having 50000 port.
Now ESR,ID,SLD,RWB... etc are working with ABAP port 8000 but not with 50000 java port and also I am getting an error in SXI_ CACHE while doing my delta refresh if_http_client receive http_communication_failure : http_communication_failure:ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED. Kindly suggest me to resolve this error.
Naveen

Hi,
Re: Architecture of PI 7.1
NW PI 7.1 - ICM is not binding to port 5$$00
from the above two threads it is very clear that from PI 7.1 both the ABAP and J2EE ports are same.
Now we maintained both the ICM and j2ee port as 50000. Now ESR,ID,SLD are working with port 50000.
But in my SOAP to Proxy scenario I am getting the same error. When I try to send request to XI server using Altova xmlspy I am getting following error in SXMB_MONI under Call Adapter
<SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">CLIENT_RECEIVE_FAILED</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>400</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED</SAP:P2>
When i click that HTML error It shows
404 Resource not found
I am getting the following error in CC monitoring .
com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: XIServer:CLIENT_RECEIVE_FAILED
My reciever communication channel is in green status CC monitoring.
I tested my server proxy in my end system which is successfully fetching data.
I am using the following URL format for generating the WSDL from Integration directory.
http://host:port /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=p:s:c
Do we need to maintain the Fully qualified host name in the above URL?
I tried with a test scenario which is an asynchronous communication with the above mentioned URL format. I got a success message in SXMB_MONI.
Since I am using PI 7.1 I tried the following URL also but i this case,the XML spy itself throws error. I couldnt see any messages in SXMB_MONI.
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?senderParty=&sender
Service=FS&interface=IF&receiverParty=&receiverService=TS&interfa

I have seen many threads in SDN for this same error but I didn't get an answer for my scenario.

IMPORT issues: Works with iMovie 3 but not iMovie 6 ???

Okay, still trying to get my import issue resolved.
I have a SONY HDR-HC3 DVmini.
No problems with iMovie 3 on my Powerbook.
iMovie 6 on my MDD will let me control the camera, but the screen stays BLUE with no IMPORT.
My buddy thinks it might be a Quicktime issue.
He said to download Quicktime Pro, that might resolve this issue.
I can copy the iMovie 3 file to my machine with iMovie 6 and do the editing, just not the importing...
THANX

Hi
Can be so much.
Often Camera has to be connected to Charger/mains during Capture.
An majority is a faulthy - badly connected FW-Cable (USB don't work at all)
My list on this
*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
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
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)
from LKN 1935.
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 !
mbolander
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

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that

see if that halps

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.

Can I use iMovie 09 but stay with iPhoto 08???

Hello,
QUESTION: Can I install iLife '09 but still keep iPhoto '08 and use iPhoto '08 instead of iPhoto '09 but use the other iLife '09 programs??
BACKGROUND: I am installing Leopard (after much delay...) and I believe iMovie '09 (part of iLife '09) has a timeline and more features (vs iMovie '08) plus easier to use etc. So I think I want to make my first projects with my 8 hours of vacation videos via my Canon FS100 using iMovie 09 - can put in chapters and such, too I believe.
BUT in trialing iPhoto 09 on another computer, I see that for now at least, I don't want the geographic info / the faces etc. and kinda prefer to stay with iPhoto '08 for now with my 25,000 photos over the past 5 years...
*Is that possible to do?-*
Thanks for any comments--
Regards,
Steve
Friday 20 February 2009

Thanks for the fast and informative reply!
1. iPhoto 09: This converts all the iPhoto Library photos to another format not recognized by iPhoto 08. OK I have several copies on several LaCie external HD's - but I'm wondering if my 30 gb 2008 iPhoto library will now turn into 50 gb in iPhoto 09???
2. Speed: I've been afraid that on my 3 year old MB iPhoto 09 may run much slower than iPhoto '08. You say not much performance hit - but I enjoy fast-- and next Mac (will that be #15 in 20 years?!- at least!!) likely to be a MB Pro - or maybe the fastest desktop I can afford?!?
3. I'm not using FaceBook / Flickr at this time - just MobileMe
iMovie 09: I hope one can insert chapters! Would not want to have to go via HDiMovie06 / garageband to do this-- hey, I've got everything downloaded, but haven't made a single movie / DVD yet! Really I'd like to just get about an hour or two of my 8 hours onto a DVD that looks OK - for a first "YES!" - would you say iMovie '09 is going to be easier to "master" than 08?
Thanks very much!! -- and if anyone can let me know if iPhoto 08 / iPhoto 09 can exist together - and if so, how to do this during installation - cuz it seems iPhoto 09 deletes previous iPhotos...

Can read TEDS in MAX but not with DAQmx VIs

Hi,
I have a cdaq 9181 with a 9234 accelerometer module. I have 3 teds equipped accelerometers connected to ai0, ai1, and ai2 repectively. In MAX, when I reserve the chassis I can read all three teds, no errors. When I do the same thing in labview (ie reserve the chassis, create a daqmx task, associate teds data with each physical channel, all with daqmx VIs) I can only read two out of three teds. The third one throws a "no teds sensor detected" error. This code has been in use for about four months now, though I just rewrote the calling VIs, and hasn't displayed this problem. I've attached a snippet of the task building VI for reference.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.
Using LV2012 and MAX 5.3.1 running on Windows 7 32 bit.

Nope. That's a delete from array, length 1, index 3.
In any case, I eliminated that block since the string array wired to the for loop controls how many devices the VI attempts to configure. Same result, verified it was trying to configure ai2. Here's the updated snippet:

Mutating table exception on trigger with After Insert but not with before

Hi
I need to maintain some constraint on the table to have only one row for values of the columns but not by primary key constraint.
Because in case of primary key the insert would fail and the rest of the operation would be discontinued, I cannot change in the somponent that inserts the row so I have to prevent that on the table I have.
I created a before insert trigger on the table which checks if any row exists in the table with same column values as the one being inserted. if found I delete the rows and let the insert happen (w/o raising any error). if the rows do not exist then the insert shall be continued.
I read at place that modifying the dame table in the trigger body shall raise a mutating table exception, but I donot get the exception when the trigger is fired.
Just when I change the trigger to after insert trigger then the nutating table exception is thrown.
Is it the right behavior i.e. the Before insert trigger does not raise the exception and only after insert does that, since I could not find the example for before insert triggers throwing such exception so I think it is better to confirm it before finalizing the implementation.
Thanks
Sapan

sapan wrote:
Hi Tubby
I cannot user unique constraint because that would raise an exception upon violation and the third party component that is inserting in the table would fail.
That component does some other tasks as well after this insert and if an exception is raised then those tasks would not be performed.
Also I cannot change the component to ignore this exception.Well then, you're in a bit of a pickle.
I'm guessing the trigger you have been working on isn't "safe". By that i mean that it doesn't account for multi-user scenarios. You'll need to serialize access to the data elements in question and implement some sort of locking mechanism to ensure that only 1 session can work with those values.
After you work out how to do that it sounds as though you would be better served using an INSTEAD OF trigger (you'd need to implement this on a view which is made off of your base table).
Here's one way you can work on serializing access to your table on a relatively fine grained level (as opposed to locking the entire table).
Re: possible to lock stored procedure so only one session may run it at a time?
Cheers,

I can capture with iMovie 6, but not with FCP 6.0 ('no data from device')
