Looking for help getting imovie to recognize sony DCR-SR47 camcorder

Has anyone been able to up load to imovie from sony DCR-SR47 camcorder?

It depends on which camcorder you have.
If it records onto miniDV tape (..or "microMV" tape..) then you definitely need to use FireWire; nothing else will do. Buy one at any electronics store; it's called a FireWire or DV or i.Link cable. It must have a teeny 4-pin connector at one end (..to plug into the camera..) and a larger 6-pin connector at the other end (..to plug into your Mac..)
..unless you have a new MacBook Pro, which needs a slightly different shaped 9-pin FireWire 800 connector instead of the 6-pin connector.
You cannot use a USB connection for tape-based camcorders, even if they have a USB socket ..as that's just for transferring stills, not video.
If your camcorder does NOT shoot onto tape, then you'll need to transfer via USB. That applies for all chip-based and hard-drive based camcorders, and - I think - DVD-based camcorders.
All current AVCHD camcorders use USB.
If in doubt (..but there should be no doubt..) read the camcorder's instruction book. If you can't find the instructions, download them from the manufacturer's website ..almost all instructions are available online.
But if it needs FireWire - if it's a tape-based camcorder - you CANNOT use USB.

  • Looking for help getting EZdrummer to work in Logic Pro 9

    First off let me say I have looked everywhere and even talked to toontack about the following problem. Toontrack as said that the plug-in is working properly and the problem is with Logic.
    Ok so I purchased toontrack ezdrummer and drumkit from ****. After installing them and updating to ezrumming 1.2 I am unable to load ezdrummer in logic pro 9. The really strange thing is that it will launch when using garageband and fully function.
    In logic it is not in AU manager and not there for selection in the channel strip, so I thought at first that it was only installing as a VST. However, when looking in Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components, EZdrummer.component is there. I thought this was where Logic looked for AU plug-ins but I'm now thinking thats wrong but I've not been able to find anything saying different.
    Please guys any help you can offer would be outstanding. I'm so fed up I'm about to get a refund but I would rather use this software.
    Thanks.

    EZDrummer works fine here.
    You could try trashing this file:
    Macintosh HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache
    On the next launch, Logic will rescan all your plugins.
    You could also try a new OS X user account.
    And what exact version of Logic are you using?

  • How can I get Imovie to recognize clips from my Camcorder

    I have a panasonic HDC-TM700 camcorder I recorded in AVCHD mode and Imovie won't recognize the clips.
    Does anyone have any tips for converting the clips into a readible format?

    It was Imovie11. VoltaicHD is working so far. Thanks Mate!
    It seems funny that camcorder companies & Apple don't rectify these problems faster. The whole point in recording footage is to make movies, right?

  • Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

    Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
    Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
    Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
    is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
    Any help is appreicated!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
    Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
    Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.

  • How can I get iMovie to recognize the external camera?

    iMAC running OSX 10.6.8 recognizes external HD Camera hardware, but iMovie fails to recognize the device.  I can copy files "manually" using Finder, but cannot import them directly into iMovie.  How can I get iMovie to recognize the camera?  I have already re-booted all devices and tried multiple USB ports.  In all cases the OS recognizes the camera, but iMovie does not.

    OK This camcorder is a fine camcorder. I have an earlier model of a similar camcorder from Panasonic. However, this newer model has one problem. It is not compatible with iMovie if you shoot at the highest quality mode, (which is 60P or 50P - which might be called 28MBPS mode). If you shoot 30P or 30i (even 60i) it will import to iMovie. Also, iMovie can handle 1280x720P60 and P50.
    It will definitely work on iMovie 11. It should probably work on iMovie 09. I doubt this camera will be recognized at all on iMovie 08, but it is worth a try. To see which iMovie you have, click iMovie/About and check the version. 9.04 would be iMovie 11. (9.08 is the current version, but it will not run on OSX 10.6.8). 8.06 would be iMovie 09. 7.1.4 would be iMovie 08.
    OK So how to work around this limitation?
    1) If you have Final Cut Pro X ($300) or can justify buying it, it will import 60P and 50P from this camera. However, if this seems a little pricey to you, keep reading.
    2) If you set your camera to record in 1080P30 and shoot a short clip, then iMovie should see the camera. Then I would suggest using iMovie import screen to create a CAMERA ARCHIVE of your camera. This will copy to your Mac the entire contents of the video files on your camera. You will need them later. I am assuming you have some valuable footage on the camera that you would like to have.
    3) Going forward, the simplest thing is to shoot in 1920x1080P30 and use iMovie normally. The biggest advantage of P60 or P50 is when you need really high quality slow motion effects. In other words, after you edit your movie, everything is converted to P30 or P25 anyway.
    4) If you want to retrieve the 1080P50 or 1080P60 clips that you have shot, then there are a couple of apps you can buy to convert them to a form that iMovie can edit. Two such apps are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. There are also various free apps, but I cannot vouch for them. Do a search on google and you may find some that work.

  • Does apple have update to idvd so I can use Sony dcr-sx44 camcorder

    Does apple have an update to idvd so I can use sony dcr-sx44 camcorder?

    If you already have iDVD then run Software Update, if there are any updates available for iDVD they will be posted. While that doesn't answer your question directly it is your best option. Looking at the software specifications for the camera it doesn't look like it was ever intended to work with OS X. This is what I found on Sony's website:
    Software
    Supplied Software : PMB Ver.5.0 Supports Windows XP Service Pack3 (SP3)(32bit), Windows Vista Service Pack2 (SP2) (32bit), Windows 7, 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported. Not supported by Mac OS.
    Operating System Compatibility : "Windows XP SP3 * /Windows Vista SP2 ** /Windows7 * 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported.The Windows Image Mastering API(IMAPI)Ver.2.0 or later is required to use the function for creating discs. ** Starter (Edition) are not supported. Standard installation is required. Operation is not assured if the above OS has been upgraded or in a multi-boot environment. "
    I suspect a camera upgrade may be what you need to do.

    Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac.   Pages seems to only recognize text.   What app is recommended for pdf documents?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
    Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
    They will show up in the iBooks application
    (If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
    Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
    One is Books, the other is Collections.
    Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
    Tap PDFs and you're there.

  • IMovie HD 6.0.3 will no longer recognize my Sony DCR-HC40 camcorder

    My Sony DCR-HCR 40 previously worked with iLife 4 until I upgraded to
    Mac OS 10.4.6. After that iMovie no longer recognized my camcorder. I then
    upgraded to iLife 6 and iMovie HD 6.0.3. Again, iMovie does not recognize my
    camcorder. I've read everyone's comments and tried different suggestions
    (including those in iMovie's help pages and connection tips) and still nothing.
    I use an iLink Cable and have quicktime 7.1.3. Everything was fine, till the OS
    upgrade. Sony is no help. They said contact Apple, so here I am. Any help will
    be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Power Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks for the response SDIllini, unfortunately when I do go the Disk Utility, my camcorder isn't even show for me to even repair the disk permissions. As monty jr stated, Sony was no help for me either, they also told me that I would need to contact Apple. The problem still remains unsolved though, it's as if the MBP just doesn't recognize the camcorder whatsoever. I'm open to any suggestions, have anymore?

  • Looking for help to improve Airport performance over LAN (WAN is fine)

    Ok, I've read through several threads on this forum that address problems people are having with slow performance with Airport. I've also checked out all of the Apple KBs that address Airport, recommended settings. Unfortunately my issue isn't addressed by anything I've read to date.
    The bottom line is that both download and upload performance between any of my devices and the internet is fine, no problems. I am paying for 30MBps download from Verizon FIOS, I routinely get 20, and I'm guessing that the delta is Verizon's problem, not my network's. However, streaming from my media server to another device on the wireless LAN is a different story entirely. I get somewhere between 1 and 2 MBps, tops, and this poses big problems for streaming music and movies.
    My network is comprised of 3 Airport Expresses. One of them is a MC414LL/A model. This one is connected to my Verizon FIOS Actiontec MI424WR router (which I have set to bridge-mode according to the instructions provided at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17679150-Howto-make-ActionTec-MI424WR-a-network -bridge) via CAT5 ethernet. This Airport Express is set to "create a network" network mode, "802.11 only (5GHz) - 802.11b/g/n" radio mode (although I have also tried "802.11 only (5GHz) - 802.11/n only (2.4 GHz)" radio mode, and this didn't solve the problem). Finally, I have chosen 2.4 and 5GHz channels that have little interference (2 and 161 respectively). My other two Airport Expresses are MB321LL/A models and are set to "Extend a wireless network" network mode, with the 5GHz network chosen as the network that they extend. (I have tried switching over to having them extend the 2.4GHz network, and performance gets worse, not better.)
    I am using a late 2009 Mac Mini as a media server. It is connected to the 5GHz network (though I've tried the 2.4GHz network), and it runs XBMC and JRiver media servers (not simultaneously, either one or the other.) I have a PS3 and a Sony Blu Ray player, each plugged into one of the MB321LL/A Airport Expresses via CAT5 ethernet, and I stream media to each of these devices via one or the other media server (both devices are DNLA-enabled). My Mac Mini has a 3TB external hard drive connected via FireWire 800, which is where all of my media resides. In addition to streaming media over the network, I have a TV plugged directly into the Mac Mini. When I play media to this TV, performance is outstanding, so I'm confident my poor performance to the PS3 and Sony BDP is a network issue, not an issue with the external drive.
    Although my building has several other wireless networks, only one of them is 5 GHz, and it isn't using channel 161. The 2.4 GHz band is crowded with several networks, although channel 2 is usually in the clear. I have tried switching let Airport choose a channel automatically, and I haven't noticed a difference. It has occurred to me that the problem could be with how I bridged the Verizon Actiontec router and not with any of the Airports, but I don't get any errors (e.g. double NAT errors, which some people who have bridged improperly get), and I am pleased with my download and upload speeds to the internet. The issue is only on my LAN. Finally, yes, all of my firmware is up to date, version 7.6.3 on all three Airport Expresses.
    Can anyone offer me suggestions for how I can get better performance streaming media from my server to the two playback devices? Since all 3 Airport Expresses support 5GHz, I'd have thought I'd be able to take advantage of 802.11n speeds when streaming between them. (MB321LL/A  supports "Draft N", but does this matter?) With the settings that I'm currently using, I can't stream faster than 2MBps (and that's on a good day), which is below what I ought to be able to get rom 802.11g. This is especially problematic when I try to stream hi res (96 MHz / 24 bit or higher)  music files, whether uncompressed or compressed. I hear awful pulsing sounds through my speakers. If I pause the track and let my streaming device buffer, I might get 10 or 15 seconds of clean playback, but then it starts the pulsing again as soon as the buffered music is finished playing. On occasion when I stream music from my iPhone via Airplay to one of the Airport Expresses, I get clean playback most of the time, but on occasion the music cuts out. (It's my understanding the Airplay requires ~800 Kbps, which seems consistent with my LAN speed usually being between 1 and 2 Mbps but sometimes dropping).
    I have iStubler and I've used the Apple network diagnostics -- these are the tools that led me to choose channels 2 and 161 for 2.4 and 5GHz respectively. I'm sure I could be using these tools to learn more about my network's performance, but I'm sure what to look for.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Ok, cool. I'm really glad that the issue has been isolated. Thanks a ton for your insight!
    Hopefully I can find a spot where the signal strength of the hub is noticably better but that isn't too inconvenient for an ethernet run. My Sony BDP, which is the device connected to the problem basestation, has wifi capability, so I could always ditch the ethernet cable if the best spot for the basestation doesn't permit a cable run. But I'm aware that ethernet usually offers faster transfer speeds than wifi. Moreover, I'm not sure that the Sony BDP supports 5GHz. It might be a 2.4GHz-only device, in which case I'll have new interference issues to contend with, since like I said in my original post, there are several other 2.4GHz networks in my building.
    Anyhow, now that I understand the problem, I can figure out a solution. Thanks again.

  • Looking for help to upgrade Z61m HD and OS

    All,
    Being a layman I am looking for some help on how to do the following:
    -  Upgrade my current HD from the small 105gig to a new 320 gig HD - have the new SATA drive.
    -  Also wanting to get off of Vista to Windows7 - I have the new Windows 7 ulimate software.
    Looking for procedures on how to upgrade(back up data, make boot disks, when to upgrade the OS.....) and not lose my data.  I own a 500 gig external HD with plenty of room.  Any pitfalls and gotchas are apreciated too.

    I did a quick google and found some Windows-based programs you could buy to do that, but nothing for the Mac.
    However, you ought to be able to do it in word (I do when I have to print chords w/ lyrics to play with a group). You just have to fiddle with the space bar and tab to line up the chord changes with the lyrics.
    It might be easier if you use a fixed-width font like Courier.
