  • Final Cut X sees camera but will not import.

    I have a Canon XL1s going into my MacBook Pro running Final Cut X via DV to FireWire 800 to thunderbolt. Since I am recording long meetings I skip recording to tape and record straight to the hard drive. I have done this in the past and it worked on older versions of the same hardware and software.
    Please note that it will import only when the camera is also recording.
    Now When you import, you can see the feed and the computer says its importing, but after you stop importing the files are nowhere to be found. I even tried this on IMovie and used someone else's Mac with the same result. Does anyone have any suggestions or ran into similar issues?

    Hello there, KaelCormac.
    When recording video directly from your camera with Final Cut Pro X, the following Knowledge Base article provides some great information in regards to it's functionality:
    Final Cut Pro X: Import while recording
    Record live video and audio into Final Cut Pro
    Do one of the following:
    To record using the built-in camera: Click the Import Media button in the toolbar. 
    To record using an external iSight camera: Connect the iSight camera to your computer with a FireWire cable, and click the Import Media button in the toolbar. 
    In the Cameras list on the left side of the Media Import window, select the camera you want to import from.
    A live video image from the camera appears in the Media Import window.
    Click Import.
    In the window that appears, choose how you want to organize the imported media in your library:
    To add the imported clips to an existing event: Select “Add to existing event,” and choose the event from the pop-up menu. 
    To create a new event: Select “Create new event in,” use the pop-up menu to choose the library in which you want to create the event, and type a name (for example, “Chris and Kim Wedding”) in the text field. 
    To learn more about events, see Organizing libraries overview. 
    Note:    You can set storage locations for each of your libraries using the Library Properties inspector. For more information, see  Manage storage locations. 
    If you want to create optimized or proxy media, analyze the video, or analyze the audio, select the relevant checkboxes in the Transcoding, Keywords, Video, and Audio sections. 
    If you don’t set Final Cut Pro to analyze your media during the import process, you can analyze it later (if necessary) in the Browser. 
    Note:    Some import options are available only when you import files from a storage device. For more information, see Organize files while importing and Import from a hard disk. 
    When you’re ready to begin recording, click Import.
    The camera begins recording immediately.
    When you want to stop recording, click Stop Import.
    A new video clip is created. You can click Import to begin recording again. You can repeat this process as many times as necessary.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

    iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

    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?

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I have a new iPod Classic 160Gb.  i have an iTunes Account, it recognizes my device but will not sync my library of music to my new iPod.  What do I need to do?

    I have a new ipod Classic 160GB.  I already have an Itunes account.  The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
    What do I need to do?

    Hi Amy2250,
    Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
    Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
    Good luck,

  • We have a 5s active on our account.  After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number)  The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up.  Texting over the cell networks works fine.

    hens0861,
    Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.

    My iPad hasn't been backed up and it's displaying the msg but will not let me get rid if the msg so that I can get it backed up. How do I get through this

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

  • My Macbook Pro will recognize my network but will not connect to the internet

    My macbook will not connect to the internet at home.  It works fine on other networks, but at home it will recognize my network name but says it will not be able to connect to the internet.  This issue just sort of came up randomly.  I have shut the router off (I use Verizon Vios) and reset it and that doesn't work.  The little Wifi status at the top of the screen just has an exclamation point over it.  I haven't changed any of the default network settings.  It just stopped working.  When I take it to work and use their network or free wifi available at stores etc...it connects just fine.  A few weeks ago upgraded my operating system to Mavericks, but it has worked up until this morning.

    Do this. Go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    In the left column, click Wi-Fi. Next click Assist me, then Assistant. Follow the on screen instructions.

  • Camcorder connected but will not import or show video

    I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder that used to work well with imovie. Although I have it connected and the blue screen states that the camcorder is connected, imovie will not import the video nor will it show it playing. When I rewind or fast-forward, it will show the counter but I will not get a picture. The play, fast forward and rewind buttons in imovie will operate the camcorder but no image or sound. The import button shows that it is being pressed but still no results. Aill I get is the blue screen with its message of camera connnected.
    I have used different tapes, verified that the tapes have content, rechecked the connections and reset the permissions. Could use any and all advice.
    Thanks

    Hi Richard
    In rare cases this can have happened.
    A. Try Your Camera on another Mac. OK - Then skip the rest !
    B. Control the 6-pin end of Your FW-cable and the connector on Your Mac so
    that it is not broken.
    As You see it is Non-symetrical BUT it can be forced in upside down and if
    You use back side connecter it is even easier while it's hard to see what's
    going on.
    If this has happened = You have a broken Camera.
    It will be controlable by iMovie
    will record and play normally via lens/analog connector
    but - NO import or export via FW-connector
    Analog/digital chip blown. Expencive repair.
    Yours Bengt W

  • ITunes recognizes my iPhone, but will not connect to the iTunes Store

    After having to re-install all the software on my computer, iTunes will recognize my iPhone 4 okay, but will not log into the iTunes Store using a valid user name and password.  I can still log in to the iTunes store on my iPhone, but just not on my computer. I get an error message that says, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."  I also conducted the "Run Diagnostics" test for network connectivity tests, device connectivity tests, and device sync tests.  All three tests passed with green lights.  However, I still get the following error message "One moment please, Connecting to the iTunes Store, Loading..." when I highlight the iTunes Store and attempt to log in with no success.  I also disabled the Windows 7 firewall as I did get a previous error message that said iTunes was not enabled in the Windows firewall.  I have my computer configured the same exact way I did before having to reinstall all my programs, and iTunes worked fine.  I've included some of the comments from the diagnostics below...

  • My iTunes recognizes my iPod but will not sync

    I just had my hard drive replaced and all my music was salvaged (thankfully). All of it loaded right back into iTunes. However, when I plug in my iPod, it will charge, but will not sync. I have Windows 7 on my computer and it was working fine before.
    At this point I'm frustrated and have considered using the "Sync with this iTunes Library" feature, which warns that it will erase what's on my iPod, but will presumably upload the library that exists on my computer now, right? If I do that, I shouldn't lose anything because both are the same, but maybe it will now recognize my iPod? Any suggestions?
