IPhoto imports QT with wrong time from Panasonic FX7

IPhoto does not correctly import the time for audio comments recorded with my Panasonic FX7 camera. Does anyone know of a fix (including an Automator program)?
These comments are saved as QT movies (with a still picture naturally, not moving) and are seen in iPhoto as being made seven hours earlier than they actually were. I do not have this problem with either still pictures or "real" QT movies made with the camera (i.e., movies that are recorded in movie mode with motion).
I checked the creation date of the QT files and they are correct in Finder, but I am told by AppleCare that the date iPhoto uses comes from the embedded data within the file. I suspect the problem is that iPhoto thinks that the date/time field (which I cannot see) is UTC (the new name for GMT or Greenwich Mean Time) time, whereas it is probably local time -- which is seven hours behind UTC time right now. Assuming that's the case, iPhoto would subtract seven hours from the correct local time -- which is what I am seeing in iPhoto.
Unfortunately Panasonic is not one of the supported cameras for iPhoto. Hopefully Apple will add support for Panasonic cameras since they are likely to be a bigger player in the digicam market. I was dubious about a Consumer Electronics company making high quality cameras, but when I researched this purchase last Spring, to my surprise, Panasonic was rated better than Olympus (my previoius two digicams) and all other brands in the category for which I was shopping.

When you say your Library, do you mean in the iPhoto Window?
1. Try the options at View -> Sort Photos
2. iPhoto should be reading the photos by the Date they were Taken not the date they were imported. If you wan to see them by the date they were imported, use the Roll view.

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

FCE Import Issues with 720p resolution (from Panasonic GH1)

I cannot import 1280x720, 50fps videos from my Panasonic GH1 using the log and transfer window. If I try, the system crashes. Still they play in the preview window. With full HD everything works fine. I would assume that this format is not supported, since it does not show up in the easy setup menu (only 1920x1080 and 1440x1080 available).
The files imported using iMovie08 can be loaded with no issues. I would assume this is because the have already been converted.
Does FCE definitively not support import of 1280x720 material or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
the GH1 shoots full hd 1980x1080 with 25fps (30 for US market). I prefer using 1280x720 (which seems to be AVCHD lite?) with 50fps (60fps for US) which reproduces movement better.
Imovie09 convert those formats (AVCHD 25fps and AVCHD lite 50fps) to AIC while keeping the original format and frame speed. FCE can import the AIC files at the different formats - this I can see from what FCE is telling me in the browser.
In FCE I mixed both formats (1080 at 25fps & 720 at 50fps) in a small project and managed to get this exported to 1080 or 720 at different frame rates. I have not yet figured out what how the movie quality compares to each other, but IT WORKS.
Unless I have forgotten something FCE seems to handle all these formats but crashes as soon as I try to import of 1280x720@50fps files.
Which in fact brings me back to my question why FCE crashes. With all this capability of handling the different formats I would not have expected a program crash during file import. Which in facts makes me doubt if there still is something wrong....
I guess I should better start reading the manual.
Good Luck

Iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library?

iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.

This is what that error means:
-54
permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

IPhoto imported half my RAW files from my D7000

IPhoto imported half my RAW files from my D7000 and cant read the rest, what happened?? It says file format can not be read

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Error Communicating with Camera- Upload from Panasonic to iMovie

I am trying to upload the footage from my video camera, a Panasonic PV-GS320. I connected the firewire, and I open iMovie, but all that happens is that there is blue screen and in the middle it says "Error Communicating with Camera".
I thought maybe the camera had to be off, so I turned it off and the screen changed to say "Camera disconected or off". When I turned the camera back on, it gave me the "Error Communicating with Camera" message.
My dad was able to upload footage onto his laptop the exact same way I'm uploading into my mac.
Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong. I just want it to upload smoothly. Can someone help?

Hi
Testing Camera and Cable is important - very common origin to problems.
Especially the Cable (fortunately)
I had a serious accident some Years ago. FW-connector on the back of that Mac
and I plugging in the FW-connector 180 deg wrong. Shouldn't go but sorry
to say did and without a gigant of effort.
Result: Killing two miniDV Cameras, one video bridge and one hard disk.
Tricky:
• Cameras behaved normally in all aspects except import/export to iMovie
- blue screen reading Camera connected
That's why it is essential to know that it works OK on another Mac.
Here comes my list: Use it with care. No guarantie from my part - just sharing
my thoughts.
Capture/Import problems:
a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
(except for some Canon-Cameras)
c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
e) Bad RAM-chips
f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
g) FW-wire cable OK?
h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)
o) NEW (from Sue/SDillini):
Trash the Font Collections Folder.
These files are found:
/YourUserName/Library/FontCollections folder.
Drag the folder to the trash and launch iMovie. iMovie will create a new FontCollections folder containing the files it needs when it next opens.
p) or thrashing the com.apple.imovie.plist file (Rodney Brown2)
q) - Other programs interfering like Flip4Mac
r) - Third party or old plug-ins
May be You find some help in my list:
Mac:
• hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
◊ Rebuild Desktop (Tech-tool or fingersetting during start-up) (System up to 9)
◊ Reset PRAM (Tech-tool or keyboard finger settings alt-cmd-P-R ??)
◊ Reset PMU ( Restting the PMU...is the the alt-ctrl-shift and powerbutton shortcut? ) (Sue)
PMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760
PMU/SMU are essentially the same in the PM G5.
◊ Reset SMU
SMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
• software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
◊ Other programs that interferes like Flip4Mac
◊ Codecs added to QuickTime
◊ Old plug-ins to iMovie or third party alike
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.

NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn i.Link Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have i.Link conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

Imported Songs with high time numbers

I have a new cd drive. When importing cd's now, the "time" listed is around 789 minutes. When I click on one of these songs, it skips over them and goes to the first "normal" timed song. Help!

Imported songs from CD have incorrect time. 5 of 12 songs were incorrect. When I insert the CD, the display times are all shown correctly. After import, the listing in my library is incorrect. The time is way off for these five songs (e.g.5:48 vs 789:57:13). I've tried modifying the stop time under get info options tab, but the library time remains incorrect. I've tried importing the CD several times with the same result.

How do I call a Mac computer with Face Time from my iPhone 4?

I just upgraded my iMac to OS X Lion and I now have Face Time on my desktop computer. I figured out how to MAKE a call from my desktop to someone's iPhone. But, I can't figure out how to call my desktop computer FROM my iPhone 4? I tapped the phone icon. Then, selected my house from my contact list. When I selected my home e-mail address, it just loaded a blank e-mail. There was no option to call that e-mail address with Face Time. Help? Oh, and I'm running iOS 4.2.10 on my Verizon iPhone 4, so I know I have the required version on my phone.
Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Oh, and by the way, I also just tried calling my iPhone 4 from my iMac with Face Time and my iPhone didn't even ring. Also, I've read through posts in other forums and everyone is talking about a Face Time camera icon that appears next to a contact's name. I don't have that at all. So, maybe I don't actually have the right versions of the software?

Movie imported with wrong time

Hi, could someone please take a look at the linked photo and tell me what I did wrong (or haven't done) to have an 11 second .mov show up as only 6 seconds, 20 frames?
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p220/josephnathan/1.jpg
There was an earlier question similar, but the replies had to do with audio sample rate, and there's no audio in the clip. Could it be a problem with the way I exported the .mov from the software I created it in? It was exported in the Animation codec (since DV/NTSC doesn't look as good).
Thanks,
Jonathan

OK, I am truly baffled. I tried exporting from QT and it was better (only left off four frames that time!) and it was OK since I had enough pad at the end. But I had to make a change and when I imported the new one into Motion it happened again (6;20). Tried bringing it into and exporting from QT, but it didn't work that time. I'm beginning to wonder if it's operator error Is there any chance it's the codec? I'm using Animation, Millions of Colors (since I don't have an alpha channel) with highest quality, keyframes set to automataic, 29.97 fps (which is the same as my Motion project). Like I said, I don't want to use DV/NTSC since the quality is poorer.
So frustrated,
Jonathan

Problems Rendering AAF imported Sequence(with Automatic duck) from Avid in CS5

Hey
so I'm encountering some troubls with rendering out my whole Project. Everything from export in Avid to import in AE worked perfectly so now im working with the Quicktime ref files created by the Duck(Codec DNxHD 120). I was able to do all my compositing and even render ot some short sequences to show my Client.
But now I'm ready to render out my complete Sequence and it always gets to about 30-36 seconds and then says there is something wrong with the quicktime ref file. But if I just render that one image everything is fine....
Has anyone else encountered this kind of Problem and has some usefull advice?
Thanks in Advance
Stephan

Consolidate your media files in Avid to be in the same location and/ or even a single mixdown clip and re-export the references.

How-To allow records with Overlapping Time from SAP R/3

Hi guys,
Made reference to SAP Note 336229.
Maintained my Transfer Rules of Data Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 to Info Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 and all is green! Unfortunately, still NO data and error IDOC message is " The data request was a full update. In this case, the corresponding table in the source system does not contain any data."
"The extractor of the DataSource reads the master data tables of the Employee (0EMPLOYEE) and person (0PERSON) InfoObjects and makes changes to these time-dependent attributes available as headcount changes"...says SAP
Info Object person (0PERSON) works!!!, however Info Object(0EMPLOYEE) is giving me problem whereby in SAP R/3 Data Source (Employee - Education and Training) 0EMPLOYEE_0022_ATTR allows time overlapping of records, BUT BW generates an error " The time interval ['99991231'/'19930104'] & (from/to) for the data records 46 and 47 overlaps in characteristic 0EMPLOYEE "
For example, lets assume there is Employee X with the following entry in SAP R/3.
Begin Date||| End Date ||| SubType
01.09.2003||| 01.09.2004||| Professional Cert.
01.09.2003||| 01.09.2006||| Degree
SAP R/3 allows this overlapping of time records however, BW does NOT. How can I tackle this overlapping issue in SAP BW?
With much appreciation!

Hi guys,
Please assist to resolve this.
I attempted to assigned 0DATETO and 0DATEFROM to my attributes of 0EMPLOYEE, but it gives me the following error
 Characteristic 0EMPLOYEE: Attribute 0DATETO cannot be used w. time-dependent attribte
 InfoObject 0DATETO cannot be used as an attribute if attibutes already exist that are time-dependent. Attribute 0ANSALARY is such an attribute. A field in the InfoObject 0DATETO is automatically generated in the master data table.
Once again, what I want is to be able to allow the Records with HighDate in R/3 into my BW Cubes.
Please please assist !
