I can no longer get my MacBook to recognize the same camera (Sony DCR-SR68) I've been doing this with for the last year.  I just upgraded to OSX 10.8.1 - did I make a mistake to upgrade my software ????!!!!

I am trying not lose my mind - and I won't even go into the Paralells issues.
My Grandmother just had a stroke, and I just want to get the video from some of this summer's parties with her.
Same MacBook,  Same Sony DCR-SR68 Handycam,  Same IMovie
The only difference is the 'new'  'upgrade'd software.  The time I could be spending with my family, I am just drowning in all my computer issues
that I never had before this upgrade.
Help !

After plugging in your camcorder, I would run Software update just one more time.
I would also try to see if the app "Image Capture" doesn't see your camcorder. This is found in your applications folder but you can get to it easily by hitting command and space bar to bring up spotlight and then typing "Image Capture".
the current version of iMovie is 9.0.7
you could try creating a new user and seeing if the camera doesn't connect from there.
if it doesn't then you might need to find a friend with a compatible OS until Sony decides to update it's support for OSX.
I looked on their site but it doesn't seem like they've ever supported it with your model.
you might also want to send feedback to apple as to your experience, although their support is limited to their own hardware, so calling Sony might be a better idea...

    Hi,
    Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.

  • HT203167 I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • TS1496 How does this work for a Mac Pro?  Just did an update and my iPod video click is no longer recognized by iTunes or in finder but shows do not disconnect.  What do I do?

    I downloaded the latest update of iTunes 11.4 today - Columbus Day.  Went on to purchase songs.  Then attached classic iPod to sync.  upon attached usb to iPod, the "Do Not Disconnect" message appeared.  Waited a long time and iTunes would not recognize my iPod.  (10 minutes minimum.  Gave up counting)  Shut down iTunes and restarted.  Still no recognition.  Restarted computer - Wouldn't start.  Unplugged USB and then it started.  The only way to get computer to start up again was to unplug - now I'm worried that I've just screwed up my iPod.  Upon starting back up - plugged iPod back in - sell no recognition.  Am I up a creek with no paddle now?  My iPod- touch is recognized and I was able to update it successfully.  With that being said, it took a heck of a lot longer than it normally does post update.  Was this the update that no longer likes classic iPods? 
    I have a brain injury and the classic is helpful at night when I can't fall asleep and I can play soothing stuff to help calm my brain down.  The touch is way to bright and can cause lots of bad reactions due to light sensitivity - way too much blue light to trigger issues.  The click wheel doesn't take so many moves to get to what I need. 
    Thank you to anyone that can help save my classic.  medical bills are high and I can't afford to buy a new one.  Two hours later, my classic still says do not disconnect and my computer does not recognize.
    Thank you to any one for the ability to provide insight and troubleshooting.
    pooped out.

    1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
    2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    See if those two steps clear up your problem.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Please let us know which approach works for you...

  • HT3669 With recent upgrade to my Mac I can no longer get supply report on ink status in my printer-light is blinking and unable to tell which cartridge needs replacing?

    With the recent upgrade to my computer I can no longer get Supply reports from my printer:  a red light is flashing and I don't know which ink cartridge needs replacing?

    I happen to have an Epson printer as well - WorkForce 645 - that does show the supply levels.
    Since I have one, I know that Apple recently updated the Epson printer software (less than two weeks ago).  Do you have the latest software?  If not, you can get it through the App Store or here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
    Try it if you don't currently have it.  If you're not sure, you can download it - it can't hurt.

  • Since this upgrade to Firefox 31 on the mac I can no longer get to any HP iLo.

    Since this upgrade to Firefox 31 on the mac I can no longer get to any HP iLo, does anybody know what happened with security certificates with this update? Firefox does not ask to accept the certificate anymore it just says there i an invalid certificate.
    Issuer certificate is invalid. (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

    Note that if you remove the cert8.db file that this removes all intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored and possible exceptions that you created in the paste as well (see also cert_override.txt).
    You will have to leave libPKIX disabled for now if that makes it possible to access these websites.
    A possibility is to create a button with the PrefBar extension to toggle the security.use_mozillapkix_verification pref when needed, so you can see which sites have issues with PKIX.
    What kind of error message do you get when you visit these websites if there is still one?
    Can you attach a screenshot of the technical details or possibly post a link if the site is publicly accessible (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

  • How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop?

    How do i sync my ipod touch to a new pc, as i can no longer get on my old laptop.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can enter a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  you should get the option to merge.
    You can import any pics taken with the ipod, and e-mail any pics synced to the ipod to yourself.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.

  • I cannot upgrade itunes 10.1 or higher on Windows xp. I get the file 'C:\...AppleSoftwareUpdate\' is not a valid installation pkg for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation pkg in a folder for which u can intsall iTunes. Can't find folder. Now ?

    This is getting frustrating, it won't let me upgrade.  I get to a certain point where it tells me iTunes.msi is not a valid installation package for the product.
    What do I need to do?  I have bought a new Ipod & I have to update before I can download to my Ipod.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I can no longer get Firefox to come up on my laptop

    I have windows vista and had an update of firefox last week and since then I can no longer get firefox to load on my desktop. I downloaded it again and still no luck at all. right now I'm using IE which I do not like at all. Can you help me?
    Thanks \Barbara

    Possibly security software or their settings is preventing Firefox downloading, or is blocking its changes and installation. For that and other troubleshooting tips see
    * [[software update failed]]
    * [[firefox does not work]]
    Are you able to locate the Firefox Installer file on your computer. If you need to download it again use
    * http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * and follow instructions for a clean install,
    ** do NOT use any option from Windows or Firefox to delete personal data,that will destroy passwords, bookmarks and other settings. It is the windows program folder that you may need to remove

  • I can no longer get into my WRT150N1.1 router any longer since I switched to Clear

    I switched to Clear wireless a few weeks ago and I can no longer get into my router to change the settings. This is a bummer because I now no longer have a secure connection. 192.168.1.1 no longer accesses the router, and I checked my IP address and it is (for clear I assume) 192.168.15.3. So I tried using 192.168.15.1 and it took me to Motorola WIMX CPE, (which I am assuming is the Clear webpage)
    I am on a Mac running Intel chip. Any help would be appreciated.
    Have tried getting in from my Ipad without any luck.
    Thanks

    The trick to make this work is
    hold down the reset button for about 30 seconds, then unplug the device, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    leave unplugged for about 5 seconds, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    plug the unit back in, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    after about 5 seconds, let go off the reset button.
    go to the webpage of the router.
    Now you can try to access the setup page of your Router, i think this should work and you should be able to access the setup page of your router and able to make the changes on your Router.
