Attempting to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capturte presets and try again.
I have tried alot please help and specific as possible. Somewhat a newbe when it comes to the tech side. Thanks.

Where do you have your Scratch Disk set up? If you only have one hard drive, then it would be that drive, which is also the system drive (drive with operating system). If that is the case, you may or may not have problems with using your system drive as your Scratch Disk, but it is highly-recommended to use a secondary disk for your scratch/media drive.

  • Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

    I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
    I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
    The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
    Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
    Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
    Thank you.

    Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
    Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
    Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder  or something else, such as Anything.
    If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
    If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the  Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
    Relaunch the Finder.
    If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
    Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

  • I NEED HELP capturing HD on an External HD

    OK, here's the deal.
    I have already edited a 90 minute documentary on FCE and IMac G5 by down-converting from HD to DV on my external hard drive.(shot on a Sony FX-1 and using a Sony HVR-M15U deck for play back and down conversion) No Problems through out this process.
    Having finished that project and having filled my hard drive I bought a new WD Pro edition hard drive, hooked it up via firewire (800 to 400 adapter cable for IMac G5)
    When I try to capture HD footage it will act normally for about 10 minutes. The computer then still frames and locks up. The deck continues to play but nothing is being captured. The computer is completely locked up and the only thing left to power down and reboot, loosing anything I have captured. I have tried several different solutions but nothing works.
    Any suggestions.

    Tom:
    Let me tell ya what I had to do to accomplish the daisy chain and you can tell me if I should proceed. Since my deck only has a 4 pin out, I daisy chained the deck to a WD Pro external hard drive which I had been using for SP video, then daisy chined that with the new WD studio edition hard drive, then to the IMac.
    It still locked up the IMac after about 21 minutes of captured material. Do you think the two hard drives would make a difference. I doubt it. I need another cable to take it out of the mix but if you think that needs doing. . .
    Most people would think 21 minutes is plenty but if something is supposed to do one thing and doesn't, it really irritates me. I could probably divide up the video tape into segments and capture it but the darn machinery is supposed to be better than that. Huh?
    Thanks for all you help and suggestions.

  • Need help from anyone who can help, or my uncle, who ever sees this first...

    I have a small problem, ever since I updated my adobe flash, every single time I load my web browser. Be it IE or Firefox or hell even Netzero's crap wb, it crashes the page I tried to open up.
    I tried to find the flashplayer that was out prior to 10.2(whatever) but I can't seem to find it and am always redirected right to the newest one that has just come out.
    I am at my wits end with this thing please someone help me out.
    By the way, Uncle Jim Doubek, this is Tony's son ( your brother in Tennessee ) Andrew Doubek, asking for help...
    ~mom made me put that~

    Thanks, You don't trust IE, but you use Windows? Ok:-)
    Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash  Open the Flash folder and post back all files listed. The NPSWF files you will need to Right click on and Open, then click on Properties to obtain the Version numbers.
    Then using IE, go to Tools, Manage addons and find Shockwave Flash Object, make sure it's Installed, Enabled and the same version of Flash Player that you have Installed. Let me know.
    Using FF, go to all plugins and make sure Shockwave Flash plugin is Installed and Enabled. Let me know.
    Test both browsers here and you should see the Flash Player logo animation(RED F spin)
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Let me know.
    Also the version of Flash Player will be displayed.
    If you use adblock or adblock plus or any popup blocking software you may want to disable them since they block Flash Content.
    Any Virus issues? If so which program removed them?
    Go to this site and see if you have a Kill-bit set. Just look to see if that Key is there in Post#1. If it is, then in Post#4 at the bottom is the solution needed.

    Please be sure to follow the above and address my questions.

    Navica,
    OS X is not available for download. You have to buy physical disks.
    both 10.2 and 10.3 are years out of print and you'll have to look for used copies. I suggest you try ebay

    make sure you buy a retail version. do not buy computer specific sets as they only work on specific hardware.

  • Need help capturing data via JavaPOS

    I am new to JavaPOS. My requirement is to integrate our webapplication with a Hypercom optimum L4250. Users will use this device to enter sensitive numerical data like SSN, Phone number etc. The device is JavaPOS compatible. The idea is to run an applet to read the input from this device and fill the corresponding field on my webpage. I am not sure where to start. I have looked up javapos.com and couldn't find much help. Any one tried or implemented such requirement or can offer any direction?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for you replies guys!
    I need to use java because the ultimate reporting tool
    is going to be a service developed in Jini.
    The reason I believe the data seem to be wrapped
    around after ftp transfer is because when I edited
    (TSO FSE from MVS) all text data is aligned withing
    the same column.
    After data is transmitted via FTP (converted to ASCII
    during trasmition) and edited with wordpad, text
    characters do not seem to be on the same possition.
    They are scattered all over the display area. Is
    possible this could be a display affect from winword
    but not sure.
    The MVS job to FTP the file follows:
    //STEP01 EXEC PGM=FTP,
    // PARM='FTP.MIAMIDADE.GOV (EXIT'
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
    //OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*
    //SYSIN DD *
    user-name/password
    CD /storage
    CD UAL
    ASCII
    PUT 'STORAGE.DCOLLECT.TYPV' 'DCOLLECT_TYPEV.TXT'
    ls -l
    close
    quit
    Words of advice appreciated

    YES! 1st mistake ... don't use WordPad for this ... your NotePad, Dos, or some other pure text editor.

  • Need help..anyone GUI Interfaces

    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=472147&tstart=0&trange=15
    Can someone please help me with this program..I'm new to java and I don't understand GUI's. I read everything inside and out in my text book and still don't get how to convert my program into a gui interface...please help.

    Sorry i accidently posted twice...
    But here is my topic incase the link did not work. Thanks! Really desperate!
    Develop a Java application that will determine if a department store customer has exceeded the credit limit on a charge account. For each customer, the following facts are available:
    a) Account Balance
    b) Balance at the beginning of the month
    c) Total of all items charged by this customer this month
    d) Total of all credits applied to the customer’s account this month
    e) Allowed credit limit
    This program should input each of these facts from input dialogs as integers, calculate the new balance, display the new balance and determine if the new balance exceeds the customer’s credit limit. For those customers whose credit limit is exceeded, the program should display the message, “Credit limit exceeded.”
    Here is the program I wrote : (for the above criteria)
    // Credit.java
    // Program monitors accounts
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class Credit {
    public static void main( String args[] )
    String inputString;
    int account, newBalance,
    oldBalance, credits, creditLimit, charges;
    inputString =
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Account (-1 to quit):" );
    while ( ( account = Integer.parseInt( inputString ) ) != -1 ) {
    inputString =
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Balance: " );
    oldBalance = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
    inputString =
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Charges: " );
    charges = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
    inputString =
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Credits: " );
    credits = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
    inputString =
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Credit Limit: " );
    creditLimit = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
    newBalance = oldBalance + charges - credits;
    String resultsString, creditStatusString;
    resultsString = "New balance is " + newBalance;
    if ( newBalance > creditLimit )
    creditStatusString = "CREDIT LIMIT EXCEEDED";
    else
    creditStatusString = "Credit Report";
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
    null, resultsString,
    creditStatusString,
    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );
    inputString =
    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Account (-1 to quit):" );
    System.exit( 0 );
    AND I NEED TO MODIFY IT TO DO THE FOLLWOING: (I'M A NEWB AND IT'S TAKEN ME FOREVER JUST TO DO THE ABOVE..PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!
    Expand the above program.
    1) Design an appropriate GUI for input. You cannot use dialog boxes. Design functional window(s) from scratch. State your conditions in the boxed comment at the top of the class. Input will need a transaction date also for the CustomerHistory class.
    2) Add a customer # ( a unique identifier)
    3) Besides your GUI, you will want 2 other classes: Customer and CustomerHistory. CustomerHistory will serve as a mock database.
    4) CustomerHistory will hold the previous balance & allowed credit limit plus any credit violation history. Your CustomerHistory violations must be an array, so that it could be readily expandable.
    5) Some step-up is necessary – chose your own approach and document.
    6) Then run your system enough times to show the response when a customer exceeds THREE ‘over credit’ limits. CustomerHistory violations should be printed out, as well as, our choice of a ‘dunning notice’. It cannot be the same as a simple one time exceeds limit. Also show a normal customer run. Prove to me your solution works!
    7) Draw the UML diagram of your interconnecting classes.

  • Newbie Needs Help Capturing

    I've just upgraded from iMovie to FCE and I was trying to capture some footage from my Canon GL1. I was able to capture it but it was captured as one long clip instead of individual clips even though there were breaks inbetween. I then had to go into the long clip and break it up manually. Is this normal with FCE or is there a setting that I missed?
    I tried doing a search of the forum and couldn't find an answer.
    Thanks for your help!

    FCE uses a DV start/stop idea that is based on the clock time on the tape, not Timecode. You typically capture an hour then run DV start/stop Detect and make sub-clips.
    It's like iMovie break up but you do it manually.

  • After upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion the wi-fi doesn't connect automatically after waking from sleep. I have a Macbook Pro. It's really annoying and I need help. Anyone?

    Wi-fi worked fine before I upgraded and always connected automatically but now nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • I really need help from anyone about transfering from my ipod to my compute

    I don't know what I did, but There is nothing in my itunes any more. Also all my settings are gone (such as all my playlists and pod cast subscriptions. I still have everything that I had already down loaded into my ipod in my ipod. Is there any way I can download from my ipod back into my itunes? If not, is there any way to locate the missing stuff that should still be in my computer since I never emptied the recycle bin in the last couple of weeks? Thank you, Marty

    First you need to scan the system for viruses and malware if your sure you done nothing to wipe iTunes library out. Scan with your antivirus program and scan for malware with Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
    Now you can use a program like yamipod to copy just the playlist if you want http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/

Also, could try USB .0 instead of 2.0, perhaps? It could be your PC as I once had a problem mounting the muvo as a vfat/FAT6 device. The PC thought it was a plain old MSDOS disk, which has a slightly different format to FAT6/VFAT. Good luck.
