JVC GRD72U DV camcorder recognised on Imac but cannot upload movies...??

I have the JVC as lisetd above and when I tried to install the disc to my new intel Imac, the installation dsic states that the "classic" format is not compatible...so I cannot install the drivers....when I plug the camera in through USB, the camera stills can be downloaded from the memory card in the camcorder (which are dreadful quality anyway) but there is no reference as to the moving pictures on the tape....any suggestions re getting the movies onto my hard drive for editing....also I have a Sony DVD92E style camcorder and, of course, I cannot insert the mini dvd discs into the slot on the Imac side...any siggestions as to getting the dvd content onto the hard drive - the only leads which can be plugged in is the AV connection - no firewire or USB.....excellent eh ??? I suppose I could buy an external drive for tray mount upload but are they not expensive and will the Imac recognise the discs.....
so many questions....MAAAAAAAN ! please help as I'm about to go on ebay and just buy a HDD camcorder to plug and play....is that not meant to be what the Mac experience is all about....gawd I get so used to that...! ???
Malcolm

yip, according to the manual there is a "digital Video Connector (DV IN /OUT) (I.Link)" which would , from what you say suggest that is the firewire !!!! yeehah.....
any particular brand / style I should buy for my Imac or are they pretty much the same....
basically I want to plug in..... import to my hard drive....drag into I-movie and go....
sorry but I'm new to all this but getting there slowly !!
cheers so far and any other advice on inexpensive gizmos to help with transfer / quality etc would be much appreciated

Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server." What do I do?

Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

Itunes recognises my Ipod but cannot see the files! need help

Hi, when I open Itunes while my Ipod is attached to the pc, Itunes recognises my Ipod but cannot open it! The only recommendation I get is to totally reset the Ipod to the configuration of the factory but then I will lose all of my files! Can someone advise me what to do? Is there another option? hope someone can help me with this! thanks
ps I tried copypod, but unfortunately it does not work. I have two files on my ipod that are damaged but I am not able to remove them! I think these two files are the problem.

When I want to do something like you're describing, I open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences.
I leave that window open and then connect the ipod. I can then use it as a disk in windows explorer.

This can be done from Single User Mode. You're going to need a little nerve though since everything is command line based.
1) Enter Single User Mode by restarting and holding down Command+S on the keyboard. A whole bunch of UNIX stuff will go by on the screen in white text on a black background. When it's done, the command prompt will be sitting at:
:/root#
2) Above that, you'll see that it tells you to enter two commands. Run this one first by typing it in and pressing enter:
/sbin/fsck/ -fy
This does a system file check. A good thing to do in your case as it may be damaged. It could take a while. When it's done, you'll be back at the :/root# prompt.
3) Enter the second command and press enter:
/sbin/mount -uw /
4) Type the following at the prompt:
cd /Users/name/Desktop
Where it says "name" above, the short name of your user account goes there. If you're not sure what it is, first type:
cd /Users
Then type:
ls
That's a lower case L, not a one. It stands for "list". You'll get a listing of all files and folders in the Users folder. So if your short account name is diane, then the command will be:
cd /Users/diane/Desktop
After entering that command, the prompt should read:
:Desktop root#
Type:
rm *.jpg
Be very careful to type is exactly as shown. rm followed by a space, then *.jpg. Press enter and all files ending in .jpg will be deleted from the Desktop folder. With 450,000 of them, you could be waiting a while for the prompt to come back.
Type:
exit
and press enter to boot back into OS X.

Check your Downloads folder for file possibly ending .dmg. If it's not there, and you use Safari check in its Preferences>General panel to see where downloads are directed to. If you use another browser check its preferences to see where downloads should go.

HT201318 Hello. I have just built a website using iWeb but cannot upload it. I curently have the 25gb account. There doesn't appear to be any facility here for the net. ASm I correct in thinking I need an upgrade, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

How come a season pass tv show, purchased on my iPad, auto load on my iMac, but cannot load on the iPad?

Hi,
I bought Whale Wars on my iPad. I bought a season pass sd version. It no longer appears on my iPad. It auto loads on my iMac. I cannot sync it from my iMac to my iPad. I can view it on my iPad only by sharing with my iMac. but there is a sync of a different year of this show even though I did not set it to sync. Maybe it was guilty.
I also bought Ice Road Truckers on my iPad. It downloads after authentication to my iPad, but it is displaying two separate IRT icons.
Flying Wild Alaska does the same with two separate icons.
The crab fishing show, Dangerous Catch appears under four separate and equal icons.
This is getting frustrated.
I have restored the iPad. No change. I restored the iPad as a new iPad and the tv show problem persisted. I restored it back.
Any ideas out there.

Hi,
It is me again. A week has gone by. I got an email saying Whale Wars was ready for download. Click here. Did that. The process asked for my password three times. It then showed it would download Whale Wars and then Flying Wild Alaska to my iPad.
It took the right amount of time to load to my iPad and then it started to load Flying Wild Alaska. But where did it put it?
Under videos there was no icon for Whale Wars. There were four icons for the Deadliest Catch, two icons for Ice Road Truckers, two icons for Flying Wild Alaska, and one icon for Mountain.
I went to the shared menu. There was no icon Whale Wars Season 5. In place was an Ice Road Trucker Icon that had Whale Wars Season 5 but not the latest show.
Flying Wild Alaska did load on the iPad and it played.
So I synced the iPad. With a number of spinning circles of death which iTunes solved all but the last one it kind of synced but it did not synch the latest show of Whale Wars. I had to force close iTunes and resynch. This time it synced the show. Now the show is on my iPad but no icon and I cannot see it. The show is on my iMac but it will not let me synch it back to my iPad. I can view the show under a shared selection on my iPad but if I walk out of wifi range forget it.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you,
John Ross

Can ssh into client iMac but cannot mount home directory ...

I've got a server running 10.4.11 and a bunch of client iMacs (10.5.n). If I ssh into a client iMac it lets me log in but cannot mount my home directory (which lives on the server). Obviously ssh is getting my credentials from the server but isn't getting (or cannot get) the information to mount my disk. If I log in through the gui on the client it all works fine. I suspect this is less of an error and more of a design. Is there a way to get the clients to mount my home when logging in with ssh? If not then Apple presumably has a reason for disallowing this behaviour. Is there a way around this? Perhaps with mount_afp?
We want to be able to log into many client iMacs at once to run computations on them. Eventually we want to do this on a suite of XServes and XGrid. This is all very easy with linux and nfs and I was expecting the same sort of ability through OS X. I know that I can export everything from the server with nfs (though that may not solve my problem) but I only have the one system and multiple users and I can't really experiment while they are connected.
Suggestions? Comments? If there are obvious examples of this elsewhere please point me toward them.

Well it's never worked that way for me. Do you actually use this method to log in?
I've gone through all of the server logs, watching what gets added as I log on to a client. I don't see anything there that suggests it is even attempting to mount the home directory. I also watched on the client and didn't see any errors. When I ssh into a client I see the following message on the terminal, "Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1/username: Unknown error: 118" This suggests that the client knows where my home should be but doesn't know how to mount it.
I have enabled the basic setup on my server. User accounts have Home URLs like "afp://server.some.place/UsersR1/username" and Full Paths like "/Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1" (R1 is a RAID disk). UsersR1 has been made into a Share Point and Server Admin tells me that the disk "will be automatically mounted using the AFP protocol as /Network/Servers/R1 on client machines". This part doesn't seem to be true as when I log into a client through the GUI the actual path that is mounted as my home is /Network/Servers/server.some.place/R1" (pwd in my home directory returns /Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1/username which is a actually rather inconvenient).
Under the Advanced tab in the Workgroup Manager, Accounts pane, I've got "Allow simultaneous login on managed computers". This seems to work but also seems only to apply to the GUI, that is I can log onto several clients at once.
How do I ask a client machine what home directory information it is getting from the server for any particular user? Is there some setup on the client machines that will enable automatic mounting of homes through ssh? On the clients, the Directory Utility, which I have used to connect the client to a Directory Server, has a Mounts pane which allows me to "Edit automatic NFS mounts for this computer". I am not exporting any NFS from the server, but perhaps this is the way to make it work?
Perhaps what I want to requires Kerberos? I don't have that enabled.
When I have done this on a cluster of linux machines I exported the home directory from the server with NFS (exportfs) and then, using NIS and automount on the clients it "just worked". It was very simple. If it is supposed to work with Macs and OS X, it may be simple but it's not obvious.

Have synced iPhone to iMac but cannot see any Contacts on iMac

Am new to iMac. Have managed to sync iPhone to iMac. But when I then open iMac Contacts, cannot see any.

Thanks, but I don't and won't use the Cloud. When I bought the iMac I thought I could use it with the iPhone 4S. Now I find that I am expected to hand over a lot of confidential information to the Cloud, if I just want to copy my iPhone Contacts to my iMac Contacts.
Why does Apple want to put such a condition on what is a normal basic principle, of having a copy of my Contacts file ?

I have created another user on our iMac but cannot figure out how to access aperture, excel and other purchased applications on the new desk top

I have created an additional user on our iMac and have tried to set up file share but nothing happens. I have an empty desktop and only the applications that came with the computer appear. I'd like to have access to the others that we've purchased... Aperture, excel, etc. I've followed the instructions for file sharing but I must be missing something.
Thanks for any assistance.

Rebecca1952,
You are over complicating things. File sharing has nothing to do with what applications that each user has access to.
To me it sounds like you just need some basic help getting the applications that you need onto your dock.
Try this:
Login to you new user account
Click on an empty part of your desktop
Click on the "Go" menu and select "Applications"
A Finder window should open showing ALL of the applications on the Mac.
Double-click one of them that you will use frequently (e.g. Excel)
Once it is up and running you should see it's icon down on your dock.
Right-click that icon on the dock, then select "Options", and "Keep in Dock"
Once you have added each application to the dock in this manner, then it will remain there even after you quit the application.
For one more expert way to launch any application on your mac quickly, try this:
Hold the [command] key and hit the [spacebar] (this will start a Spotlight search)
Start typing the name of the application you want to run (e.g. "Aperture")
Once you see "Aperture" selected, simply hit the [return] key and Aperture will launch
Hope this solves you problem.

An corrupted EFTFile1.sparseimage has appeared on my iMac but cannot deleted

Hello guys! I need real hands-on practical help here, please.
I have already asked for help in here but didn't manage to get clear step by step help. Only got confusing redirection to other posts and very technical advice which really confuses me.
First of all, I have an iMac8,1 with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Memory 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and before the problem occured I had about 260-270 of free GB out of more than 300 GB.
I have discovered that my recycling bin contained a folder Recovered Files with a file EFTFile1.sparseimage. I only noticed it when I tried to Secure Empty the Trash after running the tool Secure Delete Free Space from Internet Cleanup by SmithMicro (I don't know if this might be the cause of the problem).
When I got to deleting stuff from the Trush I noticed it was taking too long, so I decided to transfer the various files out of the trush and delete them individually. When I reached the EFTFile1.sparseimage I discovered this was about 261 GB in size - when I tried opening it, it said the following:
The following disk images couldn't be opened. Reason: corrupt image
After reading some online forums, I understand now that by deleting this sparseimage file I should be able to recover the free space. Some people suggested to use Terminal. Their instructions have been very confusing and also when I attempted once in Terminal, before submitting anything, a warning said I might loose important files. So, I stayed well away!!!
I want to stress, this EFTFile1.sparseimage isn't something I created (some forums have mentioned the possibility that some people may have done that for other purposes). The file appeared on my mac by itself. I guess, after using the SmithMicro free space delete?!
If anyone has the patience and knows of a real solution for this problem, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Cheers guys!

This is just a guess, but that file may be part of the mechanism that Internet Cleanup uses to erase the free space. It might allocate a very large file, write erase patterns to that file, then (if allowed to complete), delete that file. Since you didn't let it complete, that file remained.
To delete that file in a Terminal session, launch Terminal, then type this command, including a trailing space, without pressing the <return> key:
sudo rm -i
Then open the trash and drag that sparseimage file into the Terminal window. You should now see the full path of that file following the space after the "-i" switch. Now switch to the Terminal window and press <return>. First you'll be prompted for your administrative password. Type it and press <return>. Next you'll be asked if you want to delete the sparseimage file. Verify that it's the right file, then press <return>. That should do it.
To terminal the Terminal session gracefully, type "exit" (without the quotes), press <return>, then quit Terminal.

I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

I have internet service on iMac but cannot get connection for Blu ray with airport express.

Why am I not getting internet connection for blu ray on tv with airport express?

Which exact model of the AirPort Express do you have?
Did the Blu Ray player connect wirelessly to the Express before or has it never been able to connect to it at all?

Sharing iTunes Library - Can see but cannot play movies

I have a Mac with iTunes and a connected external hard drive. In my Movies library, I point to movie files on my external hard drive. I have shared my entire iTunes library including my music and movie selections under iTunes Sharing settings.
From iTunes on my windows computer, I can see my shared library and even the list of music and movie files. I can then play the music files from my iTunes shared library, but it won't play any of the movie files. When I double click on a movie nothing happens. When I highlight a movie file in iTunes and click the play button at the top, it seems to freeze for a couple seconds, then returns to normal, not playing the movie file.
Am I missing a file sharing setting on the Windows computer or Mac laptop?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just another datapoint to add...I tried a few different things yesterday and I can get the following files to play:
1. Free Downloaded video from iTunes (Horton hears a Who - Anatomy of a Scene)
2. Digital Movie (Bolt) that requires some authorization from the iTunes store.
The movies that won't stream from one XP box to the other XP box are all encoded using Handbrake (they work fine going to the AppleTV though.) I'm wondering if it has something to do with DRM or specific tags/metadata that needs to be included in the encode.
Also, this is something new for me (i.e. I haven't tried sharing libraries or streaming from one iTunes instance to another prior to upgrading iTunes to 8.1) My daughter got a laptop and we wanted to keep all of our media in one shared location in the house. Hopefully this will work at some point.
Thanks,
Mike
