JVC Everio not mounting on Windows XP

I have a new JVC Everio GZ-MG37u.
I plug it into my usb 2.0, turn on the camera, and hear the "chime" that says it is plugged in, but it will not mount.
I have a 400 GB HD that mounts via firewire and usb 2.0 just fine, and a flash drive that works just fine.
This video camera will not work though.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
plarsen111

I have and issue with that too.
I am unable to view WMP files from the internet -
wired. Worked fine with the old router but when the
ABEn was installed. lost abbility to view them. Works
fine on my Mac Laptop 10.4.9 - wireless.

Fat32 External Hard Drive does NOT mount on Windows XP Pro under boot camp

I have a gateway 160gb portable external HDD. When it came pre-formatted in NTFS. It mounted on Windows XP under boot camp or Vmware Virtual machine very well.
I then formatted it under HFS+ to use it with superduper.
Now that I want to convert it back to NTFS. I formatted it under Fat32 so that windows can recognize it and I can format it again under NTFS.
The drive mounts fine on Mac OSX leopard but not on Windows XP (bootcamp or Vmware VM). Could someone help? I need this drive to be under NTFS so that I can store work related files which can only be run on Windows and some of the files are larger than 4gb.
Thank you

Under Disk Utility>Partition select anything other than 'Current' under 'Volume Scheme', then the format field will light. However, you should have been able to format under Windows Disk Management once it was online. See:

DO NOT BUY A JVC EVERIO!!!!

I own a bunch of cameras so I have a educated opinion.
I purchased a JVC Everio GZ-MG130 and the camera is not worth the money they want for it. I purchased it brand new and I tried it once. Had formatting problems, in the middle of recording it told me there was trouble with the hard drive and it need to be re-formatted!!! But after TWENTY times of doing that it became frustrating. Add to that that about 2 hours of critical footage is now lost and gone forever. No, I didn't delete it, it just is not there. Great Camera huh? I knew better than to go with JVC. Shame on me. Hopefully I can return it and get a better one. I'm torn between the Panasonic (good company) or a Sony. I already have 2 MiniDV cams, I want a HD Cam. Can anyone give good advice on them? Hopefully my JVC disaster will save others from wasting time and money.

Well, I bought a JVC Everio after reading so much about Camcorders and the MAC. I need the hard drive for my trip to Africa, tapes and DVD's just aren't practical. My problem is that after I connect my Everio to the MAC, the still images seem to be okay in that they open in iPhoto. However, in order to open the video clips I was testing out, seems like I had to open iMovie 8, but when I do and try to import the clips they are grayed out, yet they don't show up in iPhoto so I can just drag them over. Any ideas what to do. I'm a novice and am just trying to make sure I can do it and then learn more about iDVD and perhaps build something from there. I cannot take the camera back nor do I want to - it is a great camcorder and easy to use and will work for my purpose. I just need to find out what to do to import the clips. Everything is recognizable, the icon shows up on my desktop, the clips are there etc. Anyone with any good ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

External hard drive not mounting on emac, works fine on windows xp machine

I am running an emac 1ghz powerpc G4 with 768MB sdram and version 10.4.9
I have an external hard drive that up to a few days ago ran smoothly. It contains all my itunes, iphoto, and imovie libraries.
Now it will not mount. It lights up, it runs, etc but I can't use it. I tried restarting machine etc. No avail.
it is a usb drive. Today I took it downstairs and plugged it into my daughter's windows xp machine. It recognized it right away (I was shocked too) and everything is there good as before.
I plugged it into every usb port in the emac and nothing. I am using the same cord on the xp and it works fine.
Any idea what it could be and how to fix it. I read on hear a lot to use disk utility. However when I run it it just freezes. When I turn that external drive off disk utility runs fine.

Your external drive is formatted FAT32 or FAT, or the Windows box would have a problem seeing it. (Unless you have MacDrive on that box, that is.)
If it is formatted FAT32 or FAT, you are NOT going to be able to use Disk Utility (or any other Mac utility) on that drive. Disk Utility doesn't do FAT.
I'd copy the contents of the drive elsewhere then start up Disk Utility first and then plug the drive into the Mac and format it FAT32 from Disk Utility. If that doesn't work, format it FAT32 on the Windows machine. Note: if this drive is larger than 32 GB, you're going to need to generate two or more partitions, as while WinXP can read FAT32 partitions larger than 32 GB, it can't create them. Macs and Linux boxes can create large FAT32 partitions. Second note: if the drive is smaller than 4 GB, you might want to think about formatting it FAT instead of FAT32. Indeed, Windows may insist. Do not let Windows format it NTFS; Macs can read NTFS volumes, but can't write to them.

New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

Problem statement
When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
of the parent.
I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
Can an Example be provided?
3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and is there an Example available.
Scenario:
Windows Server 2012 Standard
File Server (Role)
+- Server for NFS (Role) << -- installed
General --

I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
"inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
[-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
Here are the pertinent statements -
"In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
"Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
not have inheritance set."
"So
If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

OS X: Windows 7 partition not mounted

Hi everyone,
I had previously dual booted my macbook with OS X and WinXP, i was able to view the WinXP partition through OS X on my desktop. I got my hands on Windows 7(Final Release) and now my macbook is dual booting OS X and Win7.
I cannot figure out why the Win7 partition is not mounting in OS X. I have research some possibilities as to why and how to mount it but nothing has worked.
I have tried to mount it using DISK UTILITY but I keep getting an error. I also tried using some command lines through TERMINAL but that did not work either.
If someone could please help me with understanding why I am not able to mount the Win7 partition in OS X, that would be very helpful.
Thank you for your time and support in advance,

Home DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It does play on an old Windows PC.

Hi. I have a MacBook and I am able to play purchased DVDs just fine. However when I try to play the home DVDs my brother burned for me on his new MacBook Pro it doesn't work. The DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It plays on an old Windows PC though. Very strange. Help!

I know your frustration, so happy I still own a PC just so I can burn any DVD I might still need!
I was told at the Apple store to go buy an external l0l
How awesome is THAT ...Yah you just paid an INSANE amount of cash for a CRAP laptop so now go out and spend MORE money on getting an external DVD burner so your expensive laptop can burn/play DVD's
YAY APPLE... wtg at putting out a quality product!
PS so fantastic to see all the responses to your cry for HELP here!

Oracle XE: Database does not mount automatically after Windows reboot

MDM console GUI on Windows is not mounting the MDM server on Solaris

Hello MDM experts,
This is kind of administrative problem. I am basis person, installing SAP MDM 5.5 SP04 for the first time.
I have configured the MDM server (mds) on solaris 10 system. I have also configured MDM import server(mdis) and Syndication serever (mdss) on the same machine. I have installed the database software and configured the empty repository on the same host machine.
So, Database and all the 3 MDM services (mds,mdis,mdss) are running on Solaris machine.
After that, I installed "MDM console fat client GUI" component on my desktop and trying to "mount the server" by specifying the "hostname" of the solaris machine where MDM services are running.
But I am not able to mount it...it says invalid server and does not mount.
Any idea what might be the problem ????
I referred following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
which says, you should have administrative right on Solaris machine where MDM server is running....but how do I have that being a Windows user ???
Please advise.

Hello Mark,
1. When I right click on the "SAP MDM servers" node in "Console Hierarchy" pane on the left hand side of the Console GUI, and select "Mount MDM Server..." option in context menu, I get a dialog box for entering my MDM server name.
I typed in the fully qualified host name of my solaris server where "mds-r" is running.
When I click "OK" button, it adds an entry in "Console Hierarchy" on left hand side, but the entry comes with "Yellow exclamation Mark" sign. Also it says Status "Invalid" when I see the "MDM servers" section on right hand side top.
When I right click on my newly created entry of MDM server, all the options on context menu like "Mount Repository, Create Repository, Connect to MDM server" look greyed out. Only the option of "Unmount MDM server" seems to be enabled
2. I tried to do the same thing on 2 different Windows machines and got the same output.
Regards,
Bharat

Roland UM-ONE CD-ROM does not mount on iMac OS 10.8.2 Roland driver for 10.8 installed as directed. No power ready light shows when connecting UM-ONE. System Profiler shows it, but not configured. Older UM-1X works fine. UM-ONE works on Dell Windows XP.

UM-ONE
Roland supplied CD-ROM does not mount or read by iMac OS 10.8.2, works with old TiBook and Dell laptop, however.
Got latest driver from RolandUS.com (um_1mx8d_v100), installed as directed.
No power ready light shows when connecting UM-ONE.
System Profile shows it there, but not configured.
With Audio MIDI Setup opened to MIDI Studio window, UM-ONE does not appear.
Tried many things without success. Tried swapping UM-1X (formerly on Dell laptop) with UM-ONE. UM-ONE installed and worked there without any issues. MIDI instrument communicates fine.
The UM-1X works without complaint and as expected when connected to any USB port on either the Dell or iMac, even a hub or keyboard port, just as it formerly had before changing operating systems, etc. It is old, but reliable.
Upshot is, for now, that UM-1X works with either the Dell or the iMac, but is currently attached to the iMac. UM-ONE (2011 model) only works with the Dell (Windows XP).

Same problem here! The only difference is that I'm using a MacBook pro 13 inch (2011)

You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
You could've just left that button alone.
When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older backup that should appear by date when you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

USB not mounting - Used on a windows, then a Mac, then not working anymore

Hello!
Yesterday a faculty member gave me a USB so I could transfer a few files to it for her. She uses Windows computers but I use a MacBook Pro. It worked fine on my MacBook and I transfered the files, then ejected. However, I noticed even after I ejected and pulled the USB drive out it said I did not eject properly (or something like that).
Today, she tells me that she cannot get it to open on her computer (Windows) that it wanted her to format it - which she did not do. I tried opening it up back on my computer and it does not mount.
An alert did pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." OPTIONS: "Initialize, ignore, or Eject."
I click "Initialize..." and it shows this...
As you can see, the "8.03 GB JetFlash Transc.." is not giving me the option to Verify or Repair.
I have ran into a problem before where once I put the drive in my Mac, it wasn't usable for Windows again - but I could still use it on my Mac. But this is different, it does not seem to work on either platforms.
I would be MOST appreciative for any help you may provide.
Thanks!
James

Actually, I didn't find the FMLE forum until after I posted here. I realized that all the Flash pieces were under "Flash." Doh!!
Thanks.

4th Gen iPod will not mount or connect to Windows

Hi, one of my iPods will not connect to Windows XP. Its a 4th Gen 40gb non photo iPod
The iPod still plays and works "normally" as a portable device (ie I can play music), but I cannot connect it to my pc at all.
When I plug it in via either USB or Firewire ports the iPod disc whirrs and gets stuck in a loop (that can last over 2 hours plus) before i need to reset it in order to disconnect it from the pc.
When I connect, it doesn't launch iTunes as it should.
It doesn't appear in My Computer.
It doesnt appear in Computer Management>Disk Management
Latest iPod updater cannot read it (even when put in disk mode) and tells me that it can't mount the iPod.
Also, the iPod has since started to mess my PC up - it will not allow the PC to boot up with the iPod connected. If I connect the iPod to the PC with iTunes already launched it causes iTunes to freeze and crash. When I go to restart the PC, Windows will not shutdown.
Getting sick now - any ideas please (besides throwing it out the window!)?
It's weird how the iPod still plays, but it will not connect to the PC when my other 4G 30gb photo and Shuffle will.

I have tried resetting and restoring the ipod before, and I have put it into disk mode too (in order to restore it) but the ipod updater said it could not mount it
However, I did try Deanz advice by putting it into disk mode whilst attached to the mains and then connecting it to the PC has at least enabled me to see it in "My Computer" for the first time as (the "F" drive), even if iTunes is not recognising it.
However, when I attempt to see the ipod in Disk Management I get the same problem outlined above in an earlier post (grey screen).
If I try to browse the iPod via My computer that task freezes. Task Manager claims the function is "not responding"
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Anyway, all my music is backed up so that's not a problem. The iPod works, but I can't update it so it could be worse. Not really sure how to remap the iPod to a different drive letter
[edit] During the process of closing down the non-responsive "My Computer", Windows had a major gimp out and completely froze me out until I reset the ipod an put it back into disc mode (again). Then Windows reappeared in the same state before it crashed. I suspect this is due to some kind of conflict with the iPod as it has done this a few times now since my iPod started acting up (and only when the iPod is connected).
Thinking of some elaborate home insurance claim now..............

JVC Everio GZ-MC200 compatible?

JVC Everio GZ-MC200 compatible with minimac?
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/camcorders.html
there is no my camcorder!

Well that is wrong advice mark, it is not a firewire or a converter issue. The GZ series ( I have the GZ 50 as well as DV tape cameras) records directly to MPEG-2 on a hard drive or in the case of the 200, a Microdrive.
Alexsi - connect via USB 2 with power supply connected. Camera will mount as a hard drive to the desktop. Find the movie folder. Copy the files there to the desktop (only the MOD files are required as they are the movie clips) - these are all MPEG-2 e.g. DVD format.
Open the files in MPEG Streamclip. You will see that they open and you can even trim and cut a bit in that program and it is free.
If you want to, MPEG Streamclip will open all of them in a row, in order, then you select repair timecode errors (Apple+F keys) and it will string them into one continuous file. You can at this point export to MPEG and have one long MPEG-2 file or, for iMovie:
Export to DV is the menu item you want - output is a DV file consistent with any other DV file that you can import and edit into iMovie.
Note MPEG-2 is a delivery format and it is not as easy to edit as DV captures 30 fresh frames a second and MPEG-2 doesn't - it makes each frame from changes to the last one. Once in DV format it can be edited. Also as it is a delivery format the quuality won't be as good as DV shot directly.
However I shoot at the Utra mode which is MPEG-2 at 10.5MB second and the quality is amazingly good. The files go right into Toast for burning to DVD very quickly as they are the MPEG-2 standard and Toast needs only to quickly multiplex them and away you go.
Downside - not DV, upside in the GZ50 it will record 7 hours at best quality and 37(!) hours at a economy mode of 1.5 kbps. And it is the size of 2 packs of cigarettes and has an F 1.2 lens. For something not being edited a lot it is pretty good.
Final advantage over tape - an hour of MPEG-2 copies as a USB mounted hard drive in about 5 minutes not an hour as per capturing from tape.
What these cameras are doing is making the terrible DVD cameras with their short 30 minute limit and expensive tiny DVD media, obsolete.

Please Help Me With My JVC Everio

I am trying to import my footage from my JVC Everio GZ-HD3U to iMovie HD. Apparently I had to change the quality to 1440 CBR. Unfortunately, I did not do this and already recorded half of my project. Is there any possible way to simply put the **** footage on my computer? Right now I'm totally fed up and is desperate for help. Please help me out with some detailed instructions. Or if Im screwed, just tell me. Thanks.

as Forest allready mentioned: HDDcorders are not supported by iMHD vers5 (this board is about vers5).
but...
'mount' your device, a HDDcorder should be noticed by Finder as an ext. device..
drag the corresponding files onto your local HDD...
use converter tools as MpegStreamclip (www.squared5.com) + the 20$ *mp2 component* (apple.com) or VisualHub to convert the files into 'Apple Intermediate Codec' ... import that files into iMHD ...
