LCD live viewing & copy work with EOS 70D (W)

Hi,
Can anyone please provide insight, guidance, solutions to accomplish this efficiently?
Goal/operation:
I want to use the camera for copy work: portfolio, flat art, photos, objects etc. I have old family photo albums I want to copy/photograph each image separately without removing/disturbing/damaging the images in the books.
The camera is mounted on a vertical copy stand shooting down (subject is mainly flat art).
I want to be able to view through the LCD in live view (camera is 90º facing down at copy board), have manual control, set up & align the subject and shoot the photos using the flash lighting system in quick efficient production process.
Equipment used:
Camera EOS 70D (W)
Minolta Copy stand
Novatron 240 portable light system, 2 lights with polarized sheet film
synch connections:
wireless - Pocket Wizard Plus 2 Transceiver.
wired - Nikon AS-15 Hot shot cord adapter
PROBLEM
I am having issues being able to view through the LCD, set up & align the subject and shoot the photos - without jumping through hoops.
It seems I have to switch to Av from M after shutter release to view subject in LCD, then switch back to M for the next shot, camera fails to shoot and shows error message: “Press start/stop button to activate movie shooting”. This doesn’t make sense as I’m not movie shooting.
If I change the mode to “Flash off” and back to “M” then it appears to work, however once I switch to Av mode to view the subject again, it starts the process all over.
There must be a better/easier way.
Could this be a potential bug in the camera? or am I missing something? I don’t see solutions in manual.
Will mode setting “C” Custom allow “Live viewing” w/ custom “Manual control” to bypass the need to use “M” manual setting that wont allow LCD viewing?
Camera settings:
Shooting with LCD (live view shooting)
mode setting:
Av - for live viewing and setup of subject
Then switch to M - Manual for manual control and shutter release
Also - I would like to connect to Apple Mac Laptop computer, live view on screen, and if possible have the option to record the photos direct to computer hard disk. Can this be done with this camera? IF so, what is needed?
Best regards,
J

-Canon 70D have built-in Wifi, so you can connect your camera with your computer wirelessly for tethered shooting. I have PC so the instruction may be different, but you need to install Canon EOS Utility.
-You can do everything in M mode even Live View. I think you are doing something wrong here, you may need to re-read your manual regarding this problem.
-C mode is customized M mode, so you can do everything in C mode also. With C mode, you can save all the setting so you can come back later. It's a great use in your case where you can make your C mode has all the settings for your work, then when you take the camera out to shoot something else, use other mode. Later, when you come back, just switch back to C so you don't have to change anything.

Why does Live View not work with the following: @media only screen and (max-width: 480px)?

When I use the above media query in my stylesheet Live View ceases to update the viewport. I have to update it manually each time I add or change a style. This is not the case when I use styles under a common tablet sized query @media only screen and (max-width: 768px), or when there is no query at all. Is this a bug or is there something I am missing here?

Code errors might account for the discrepancy. Validate your code and fix any reported errors.

Looking through the archives, it seems you are about the 6th
person to
have this problem.
The one and only message that says it was resolved, says that
they
called Adobe support and were provided an FTP link to a file
that fixed
it for them.
So, I guess I'm suggesting that you call Adobe Support on
this one.

Setting up Dreamweaver CS4 with PHP testing server... Live View doesnt work

Hello,
Im trying to setup Dreamweaver CS4 with a php website im
making. Ive setup the site information, and provided a testing site
(XAMPP), and i can see the fully rendered .php pages in the Live
View tab. However, say i change some of the text in the .php file
(say from <p>Hello</p> to <p>Hi</p>) and
then click in the Live View tab - the page does not update. It
seems to do something, bit just returns the same.
How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you can
make a change to the source code and instantly see the change in
Live View?
(At the moment i have to make the change to the source code,
save it, click Live View to cancel it, and then click Live View
again).
Background:
Ive setup XAMPP (G:\XAMPP\)
Ive setup vhosts in apache.
Ive stored my websites in G:\Websites
Ive set the testing server to G:\Websites\site, where "site"
is setup as a vhost and correctly displays when entered into a
browser.
Ive set the url prefix to
http://site/
Ive set local root to G:\Websites\site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Did you try using F5 to refresh the page? If that doesn't
work for you,
then you'll have to drop and restart Live view. No need to
save and reload
the page.

DW CS4 Live View Not Working

I have migrated within a week of buying DW CS3 to DW CS4 and
have been spending the last 24 hours or so watching the excellent
videos on lynda.com for CS4.
I then decided to take the plunge and start producing my own
content. The first thing I wanted to see was how to drag and drop
an Excel file into an HTML page.
Firstly, DW seemed to generate a file link only without
presenting me with a dialogue box to let me choose what I wanted to
do.
Secondly when I then tried to switch to Live View I was faced
with the message that
Live View needs Netscape/Firefox Flash Plugin
I have searched Help and the Adobe site for this plug in but
have got nowhere ... can anyone please save me a load of time and
heartache and tell me what I need to do?
I thought it might be an Excel problem so I tried to do the
same with a Word file and faced the same problem.
Thanks for your attention!

You can't. To import the content of an Excel file, select
File > Import
> Excel Document. Warning: it doesn't work very well. You
get only the
worksheet that was open when the Excel file was last closed.
You also
frequently get a lot of empty cells at the bottom. It's much
better to
copy and paste from Excel.

Same answer. You can't drag and drop Word into an HTML page.
Select File
> Import > Word Document. This works much better than
Excel.

Internal Server Error; Live View not working...please help:)

I am a beginner doing a tutorial through David Sawyer McFarlands' "CS5: The Missisng Manual. I have MAMP set up and working fine. I just got through doing a tutorial on editing a recordset and linking to a Detail page. I have used Live View just a few minutes ago and it was working fine. However I just tried to click live view again after completing this part of the tutorial and a pop up box says "dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error". I have no idea what this error could be. When I type http://localhost/ in my browser it shows a file on the dynamic website we are working on called cosmo_shop. But when I type http://localhost/cosmo_shop the screen goes blank....Can someone help me with this???

Nobody else is likely to have any idea what the error is without seeing the code of the page you're working on. However, you might find Why is my PHP page blank? in the Dreamweaver FAQ points you in the right direction.

CC 2014 Live view not working

I'm woking with a site on a local server. When I click Live view, it just sits and does nothing and displays nothing. A little blue progress bar in the lower right corner continuously animating. It worked just fine before CC2014.

It's best to start a new thread with new issues.
My guess would be a problem in the code that DWCC doesn't mind, but DWCC 2014 can't handle.
Try running the validator at http://validator.w3.org to get a listing of errors. If it's still not displaying once your page is error free, post back and we can take a closer look.

DW CS4 - Design/Live view not available with PHP

I am working with PHP documents but both Live View and Design View are grey and unavailable with PHP documants open. I am using MAMP and have set up local info and testing server in the site set up dialog several times myself and with the help of some web search with no difference. Any thoughts on what may be some things to check would be greatly appreciated.

Have you changed your preferences to open PHP pages in Code view?
In the File Types/Editors category of Preferences, if you add .php to the list of file name extensions in "Open in code view", it disables Design view and Live View for that type of file.
I can not believe I searched for over 30 minutes to find out that adding .php to this field; disables one of the ONLY reasons I purchased CS5.
Just for giggles, why would it be designed like this? "Open in code View" = a prefrence to what screen type you see, not, "I want to disable CS5 to pre CS2 version"...
Well, just my two cents. Now that I know, I will never do that again... So, Next question. Is there a way to make Dreamweaver by default open in code view, without setting the tempting box to do it for you?
Thanks ahead of time. By the way, I am greatful that someone has the answers! and I am glad that person is you sir = Enter the Adobe Expert.

CS5 Dynamic Files Live View NOT WORKING

Hi, I just installed CS5 suite. I'm trying to work on a Drupal layout. I am trying to use a testing server off site. When I try to connect it says the site definition is not correct for this server, but when I go into server settings both the testing and remote server connections work and connect as expected.
Is this feature only available if you are running the live view from your local host? If so, do I need to set up the websites on my Mac in my php HTML server folder? That is a pain because I don't save my sites to my boot disk...
Jeff

Well, I found one problem. The upload is ftp but when it copied the testing server it listed the home url as ftp.domain.com instead of as www.domain.com
I updated that and it now connects, but the template page in any of my Drupal themes all show up as blank pages. I see that you can only edit the currently active theme. So far so good.

Live View not working in Dreamweaver CC 2014

I just installed the new 2014 version and opened the index file of an existing website design. When I click on the live view all I get is blank white screen. I thought it was a time issue and waited for a long time but nothing. I opened other files as well and still just a blank white screen. The installation was done through Creative Cloud as I have a subscription. Is there anything that can fix this? there seems to be some know issues but I didn't find this one among them and perhaps this needs t be added to it if there are others with the same problem.
I am using an iMac with Maverick OS latest version.
Thank you

Hi iraji,
Can you try the solution in this post and let us know if it helped?
Just upgraded to CC 2014. In Live View the window is blank. Was fine in previous CC.
See Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6 for information on restoring preferences.
Thanks,

Testing Server / 'Live View' not working

Hey guys, I'm trying to create my first e-Commerce site in Business Catalyst and having a bit of an issue with setting up testing. I've downloaded multiple basic templates from 'BC' and they all seem to be giving me the same issue.
Issue:
When using Dreamweaver CC's 'Live View' (which seems to be a one stop shop for testing changes without them pusing to the live site) the encompassing template in a page is displayed correctly, but the content area always displays 'Page not Found'. Take a look at the attached image to see exactly what I mean.
I've contacted support and browsed the form, but it seems I am the only one with this issue. Again I've tried it with multiple templates on multiple computers. Am I missing something simple? What does everyone else use for testing? Please help.

Hi,
When you press the "Live" button in Dw, it asks you if you want to save the file before putting. If you select No, and there's also NO such file on the server, then you'll have the "Page not found" message displayed.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Alex

Viewing or working with videos in iPhoto

I downloaded a bunch of pictures and 1 video from my Canon camera and I can't play the video in iPhoto. How do I play it and how do you work with videos?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you installed Snow Leopard did you select the option to include Quicktime Player 7 in the installation? It would be in the Applications/Utilities folder. If it's not there then do a custom install of SL and select just QT Player 7.
If it's there then it could be a codec issue as Roddy has already pointed out.
OT
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Would a rear view camera work with a garmin nuvi GPS

If I buy a garmin nuvi with Bluetooth would a Bluetooth rear view car camera work with it.

Only a few garmin models allow a back up camera to be connected. Check the link below for what garmins have this option.
https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId=%7B22ca4500-2009-11df-d1b4-000000...
The Garmin 760LMT is the only one I could find on BestBuy.com that has this options.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Garmin+-+dezl+760LMT+7%26%2334%3B+GPS+with+Built-In+Bluetooth/7352055.p?...
You will also need a cable and a back up camera for it to work.

Design View not working with skins

Hey,
Excuses, I posted this question earlier in the "general
discussion" topic.
I'm using Adobe Flex 2. I have a pretty big project. If I
open it, design view works. If I close Flex and open the same
project again, design view wont work. There aren't any
error-messages or warnings given. I have been able to track te
problem down to graphical skins in a CSS declaration. I have to
erase them, to make Design View work. Then, I paste the code back
again. This is very inconvienent. Is this a normal problem,
inherent to how Flex works. Is there an other, easier way around?
Thanks in advance!
Knut Nidelven
Here is the code that does the damage...:
.topBar {
fontFamily: Arial;
font-style: none;
fontWeight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
upSkin: Embed('assets/button_top_up.png',
scaleGridLeft="4",scaleGridTop="4",scaleGridRight="12",scaleGridBottom="12");
