Importing via usb

okay i have been given different answers. is there any way to get video from a mpeg-4 video camera with a usb output to my powerbook g4? i know you cant go straight to iMovie, but can i import it to something else and drag it to imovie? thanks.

Hi Michael,
as you wrote: problem 1 is to get the files into Mac...
in your "utilities folder" there's a tool called "Image capture"; give that a try: connect camera via usb; start app; look wether it is recognized; try to download mpeg4 files...
post if that works, Greg or me will give you the final answer about how to get THAT into iM running........ ;-)))

LR 4.4.1 on Win 8.1 suddenly started to hang when importing via usb from camera

I'm running LR 4.4.1 on Win 8.1 on a fairly new toshiba laptop. Worked fine for a few months; but then I have been unable to solve the problem of Lightroom hanging when I try to import directly from my camera via USB. If I download pics from the camera using file manager, and then point LR at the new folder [once the camera is unplugged], it can then see the folder on the hard drive and will import them without issues. But if the camera is installed, going to the import screen hangs the application.
I have tried:
deleting the lock file
installing and running LR 5
reinstalling LR 4disabling all the usb drivers, rebooting, and enabling
disabling everything in the start menu
deleting the preferences file and letting LR build a new one..
I can import from the SD card reader, but I nervous about that as I have had card corrupted before and lost pics when downloading that way with other laptops.
The camera is a Sony NEX-5N.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve

You must have Premier Elements that recognizes Videos. Premier Elements is sometimes sold in tandem with Photoshop Elements so that both can operate seamlessly.
Amazon has got special price for buying both packages together. I believe it is a difference of about $20, i.e. you pay 20 bucks more if you buy both products.

Can't import RAW Files via usb

I bought a canon eos 5D a couple of days ago. I don't know why but I can't import the raw files from the usb connection. When I press the eos 5D button from the import dialogue, the lightroom says "no files were found to import". Everything works perfect with an external reader but I do want to import them via usb. I don't want to be removing the card too often.
Can anybody help me or guide me to a possible solution?. Zoombrowser works fine and imports without problem. I love lightroom and don't understand why I can't import via usb. It's strange but it doesn't happen with jpg files. With those, I got no problem.
thanks in advance

It is a "by design" issue of the Canon driver software. There is nothing wrong with your hardware. To get the RAW files you need a card reader. <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Maybe you are right, but I want to know that everything works perfect with > my camera. Nevermind if I'm going to use it or not. It is two days old and > I see that not everything is working properly. > > thanks so much for your help, Lee.

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB. When opening Log&Transfer in FCP, no files show up (the Log&Transfer window do not seem to recognize the files on the camera). The camera shows up in Finder, though. - Do I need a driver?

sorry, of course USB is available for L&T, I use it every Friday so I should know better, I got two replies mixed up completly so thanks for correcting my mistake.
what I meant to suggest was if the camera does not show in finder or in L&T check the camea menu setting is set to connect to the hard drive and not from the camera or memory card.

When I connect my IPAd 2 to my desktop pc via usb cable desktop opens import photo screen. I am trying to copy/move downloaded files from my PC to Ipad 2. How do I correct this issue? Tx.

When I connect my Ipad 2 to my desktop (via USB) import photos screen open on desktop. I am trying to coppy/move files from desktop to Ipad 2. Import photos come up with import error and I cannot do anything else. How do you correct this issue? Tx. New user.

Actually, you can get photos onto an ipad from a PC. Connect them via USB (or wireless sync if you have that set up), go to the photos tab in iTunes, I don't have iTunes in front of me but there will be an option to sync photos from a folder on the PC to the iPad. You can choose an existing folder or make a new folder specifically for this purpose. Put the photos in said folder and then sync.
The photos from that folder will be transferred to your iPad

Importing via external usb CD drive to external hard drive-FW or USB?

I want to import my cd collection (no downloads) to a large external drive as AIFF. I'll be backing that up to another large drive later. I'll be using an external usb cd drive to avoid frying my internal cd.
My external hd drive has usb 2.0 and firewire 400 with an Oxford 934 chipset.
Will firewire and usb function simultaneously or should I save via usb ?
I'll be importing a large quantity of cds, and won't have time to check them, should I use Import Settings/Error Correction during import? I'd like to verify if possible.
It's doubtful I'll need to write a cd or dvd from the saved AIFF's as I have the master, but I might.
Anything else I should be considering here? I'm assuming iTunes is the best program for the job.
I'd appreciate any advice or feedback.

Importing Video via USB??

How can I import video vith sound via USB? I have some family cassets and I bought this analog to digital converter but it is for PC I tought I can just plug it in and capture it with i-Movie but I was wrong. Is there any other way to do this? Please help.

Hi Roman,
welcome to this forum
iMovie is an edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
so, a usb connected PCconverter will not be recognized by iM, and probably will not be recognized by any Mac app... Mac: there's coming in some data from some usb-device, what shall I do? help....
you can give the "image capture app" in your utilities folder a try, but I would be surprised, if THAT combo works... no, PChardware on a Mac... in many cases a NoGo....

Difficulties in importing Sony HRDTG3E via USB in my Intel Duo Mac Book

I have just bought Sony HDRTG3E. I have up to date iMovie 08 latest update. When I connect via USB from Sony to my Macbook file comes across but does not open automatically in iMovie. What an earth am I doing wrong

MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert your AVI files for use with your iPad.

Importing video to imovie08 via USB. Is this possible?

i have a sony digital video camera with an internal hard drive that can only connect to a computer via USB cable. Will this be compatible with imovie on a macbook? i want to be absolutely sure before i drop $1000.Thanks!

Check this list for supported camcorders for [iMovie 08|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014]. Here is the list for [iMovie 09|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290].
If your camera is on this list, it will work with USB. If not on this list, it will probably not work.

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

IOS devices not recognized in iTunes via USB

I am on a Windows 7 x64 home-built computer and I am pretty technically inclined, but this one problem has been bugging me for quite a while now.
I am pleased that Apple wants its devices to sync wirelessly with iTunes from now on, but there are times when it is necessary to plug in the device via USB, such as when transferring large files.
However, in the last few weeks/months, I have noticed that iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 4 nor my iPad 2 when they are plugged in via USB. The computer recognizes the devices, drivers are installed properly, and I can see the devices in Windows Explorer, getting photos off of them that way. However, iTunes does not show the devices with that "plugged in" icon next to them, only the usual sync/eject icon.
This is also a problem because sometimes iTunes just won't "see" the devices, but sometimes it will. Regardless, I need to be able to tether them sometimes for transferring relatively large files via USB. Wi-Fi just isn't fast enough. I suppose I may have to disable Wireless syncing altogether, but I fear that may not fix the problem, because it was syncing via USB just fine in the early weeks of iOS 5 and with wireless syncing enabled. I do have the latest iTunes, I do have the latest firmware for both devices, and I have rebooted both my computer and the devices several times lately, all without effect.
I've done all the simple solutions and none of them have worked. Can anyone explain what's going on and, more importantly, what I can do about it?

Yeah, I've tried 5 out of the 7 steps shown in their troubleshooter. The sixth step is one that is a major pain and I doubt would fix the problem: Reinstall iTunes. I know enough about PCs to feel about 80% confident that this step would not fix the issue. Plus, it's a major hassle with re-adding music to the collection. Nevertheless, I will look at it as a last ditch effort.
The seventh step is extremely vague and doesn't really help. "There might be a software conflict." Fine, but there's no way to find any such conflict, if one even exists in the first place, without a heavy dose of trial-and-error, several hours of time, dozens of reboots, and the patience of Job.
However, they do list some other steps that I'll try when I get home, such as making sure certain services are installed and running. I'll post my results here. Thanks, wiclee.

When my iPad2 is connected to Window 8.1 via USB to my Lenovo PC, I can not find Albums other than the Camera Roll. Is there a method by which I can make other albums visible to my PC?
