There is the interesting new thing called "the internet". Instead of wandering around aimlessly in this limitless expanse of data, I use a search engine to help me sift through the mass of information and find very useful stuff. My current favorite search engine is Google. When I type in "firewire 400 vs 800" into it's "search" window and hit "return", I get all sorts of useful information. Listed below is just one hit in the list of relevant material.

  • Macbook can not detect any keyboards or mouses

    My macbook can't detect any keyboards or mouses on the USB-port. USB-sticks or disks are no problem.
    A week ago there was no problem connecting everything. So today I used a USB-hub to connect my devices and mybe this was the problem.
    After connecting, the mac can't decect any keyboards or mouses also without using the hub.
    I tried:
    restart
    battery removal
    PRAM reset
    SMC reset
    But always no result.
    So what can help?
    Tanks.

    I believe it has to do with my Airport Utility on my MacBook (since the problem occers since I upgraded to the latest version). Is there any way to reinstall this App?
    EDIT: Sorry, I believe I need to read this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2644274&tstart=0

  • My computer can not detect a camera on my iphone 4S

    When I connect my phone to my computer, it says it can not detect a camera and I can't download my pictures/videos.  How can I fix this?

    gdgmacguy asked for the OS your computer is running, why exactly did you think anyone wanted to know the version of iTunes on the computer?
    Seems like there may be a user issue here.  Try replacing the user, see if that resolves the problem.

  • FaceTime can't detect a camera (Mac Pro)

    I have just taken delivery of a new Mac Pro. I am running OSX 10.9.1. On my old iMac, facetime happily used the on board iSight camera for video, but now when I try to use my Philips webcan via USB (plugged directly into the Mac Pro, not via a USB hub), Facetime cannot detect a camera. Curiously Yahoo Messenger and Skype can, any ideas. I use Macam software to drive the webcam.

  • Sony Cam DCR-SX63 import to Ipad

    Does anyone know if you can import the Sony SX63 movies to ipad.  I may have to convert them first, but I was hoping to just be able to import them!  I saw some threads on the mac forums, but no on the ipad.

    Hi, I'm having the same issue with this camcorder: No audio. Under "get info" on one of the clips is says,
    Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
    If I "demuxed" the file, will the audio be there? I just simple dragged the clips from the camcorder's disc-image onto my computer's hard drive. Double clicking the .MPG file opens it up in Quicktime by default. It plays like it is suppose to, but with no audio.
    thx

  • Can´t connect sony camera to final cut pro

    Hi.
    I have a Sony Full HD camera model HDR - HC7 (PAL). I´ve been trying to connect it to final cut pro HD but it doesn´t recognize the camera. Already tried a new cable, already connected and disconected, but still the same
    Is there anything I can do?
    I appreciate your suggestions and answers.

    run the system profiler and make sure the computer is seeing the camera.
    I don't know the camera, but is it possible that it needs to be in some sort of vcr mode or perhaps needs a menu setting adjusted.

  • MacBook can't detect WiFi

    Dear forum members,
    I know that this problem is discussed in several other threads and also on other fora. However, the WiFi-problems vary in such a way that I cannot completely relate to them.
    The problem:
    My macbook cannot detect our own WiFi network. It can detect other WiFi networks.
    The strange thing is: we have one Windows laptop, 2 Iphones and 1 Ipad which all 'see' and connect to our WiFi network.
    Some specifications:
    - In a desperate attempt to fix the problem I have erased the HD and did a fresh installation of Lion OS. The same problems still occurs. (please no discussion on whether a fresh install is necessary on Mac's)
    - The laptop has been connecting to the same WiFi for almost a year without any problems.
    - Nothing apparent has happened in our home network that I can think of.
    - It concerns a macbook from 2008 with a fresh Lion OS installed on it.
    - The WiFi network is WPA2 protected.
    - The laptop is able to connect to our router by using a normal cable.
    I am Dutch, so my apologies in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
    Edit: sometimes the WiFi is visible but when I try to connect, a time out error occurs.

    I don't have any solution but you may get a better response on the wireless community.

  • Macbook can't detect external display via DVI cable

    I just bought Samsung PX2370 monitor and attempt to connect it with my Macbook Aluminum (late 2008). I have mini display port to DVI adapter and DVI cable. When I hook up my Mac, nothing comes up. The screen on macbook goes blue briefly and then back to normal, but nothing has been detected. I've manually set the source of signal to DVI, and tried to use Detect Display but nothing happens. Even I try to detect the monitor by using Windows 7 (via bootcamp), the display remains idle.
    I had tested the monitor using DSLR although by HDMI, it work.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hey hparekh and welcome to the forum -
    It looks like you have the correct hardware. You should check your connections... make sure your using the Mini DisplayPort and not the Ethernet port (common mistake) and all of the connections are plugged completely. Make all of your connections with your MacBook on and then turn your Dell on. You might need to go through your Dell's setup to make sure that it's recognizing a DVI input rather then HDMI.
    Might be a bad DVI cable or a defective monitor or maybe a bad Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Are they all new products?

  • Computer/Macbook can't detect Iphone

    I've been trying to connect my iphone to my macbook but it just would'nt be detected. I have tried different cables and computers but my iphone is still undetectable. It pretty clear that its my phone that has an issue rather than my computer. Also, i was using a rather loose usb cable and it frequently detaches itself from the phone with slight movement. When it happens, ill receive some error message for unplugging incorrectly, is that a possible cause for this and what will be the solution for that?

  • MacBook can't detect AirPort Express

    I have a MacBook 2.4 Ghz which is about 6 months old. I have a Netgear Super G wireless Modem router which I have been experiencing some problems with (does not always connect to MacBook or my older PC). So I bought an Airport Express which I have plugged into an older, more reliable Netgear wired modem router. I want to use the AirPort Express as a wireless transmitter for the wired router. However no matter how I seem to set it up, my mac can't connect to the AirPort Express and the light on it blinks Orange. I know that the router is Ok because I have plugged it straight into my Mac and it works fine.
    I tried to do the same with my Wireless Modem/Router and the Airport Express light turned green and it appeared in the airport utility application. However when I turned the wireless transmitter on the router off I was unable to connect to the AirPort Express again.
    I have tried to set it up in several different ways (as a bridge or as a new network etc...) and soft/hard/factory resets but nothing seems to work. So I took the AirPort Express back to the shop and exchanged it as faulty only to find that the replacement is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something here? Should the AirPort Express connect to the Mac straight out of the box without connection to the internet? Or does it need an internet connection before it is visible in the AirPort Utility? Can it act as a wireless transmitter when connected to a wired modem router by ethernet? If so, how do I set that up?

    I want to use the AirPort Express as a wireless transmitter for the wired router.
    Mine is set up that way and works fine.
    Should the AirPort Express connect to the Mac straight out of the box
    Not for what you want to do....
    1.) Plug the Express into a wall socket and connect an Ethernet cable from your MacBook to the Express.
    2.) Open System Preferences -> Network and set a Ethernet Only connection (turn off all connections except Ethernet.
    3.) At this point the Express will show up in the Airport Utility. (If it does not show up, use the reset button to return to factory defaults)
    4.) Open Airport -> Wireless and set up a simple (Open, no security) wifi network.
    5.) Apply and restart the Express
    6.) Open Internet and set up DHCP addressing for the Express.
    7.) Apply and restart the Express.
    8.) On the same page - at the bottom - set the Connection Sharing to OFF (Bridge Mode).
    9.) Apply and restart the Express.
    10.) Unplug the Express from the wall, and turn off the wired router. Move the Ethernet cable from the MacBook to the wired router. Restart the router and then restart the Express.
    11.) WAIT - go have a cup of coffee. Sometimes my Express takes two or three minutes to obtain an IP address and go from orange to green.
    12.) Open the Macbook, go to System Preference -> Network. Create and Airport Only location (turn off Ethernet, Bluetooth, etc - all other connections)
    13.) Connect to the wifi network created by the Express. Again, wait. The Macbook has to first connect to the Express and then the wired router has to recognize the request for an IP address and assign one. (Second cup of coffee maybe.)
    14.) At this point, you can open Airport Utility and change the wifi network to a secure hidden network or any wireless configuration that you prefer.
    PS Took me a long time and many attempts to figure this all out but my complex little home LAN works just fine now.

  • Problem Importing with Sony Handycam DCR HC30

    Here's the problem...I can't import my video footage to Imovie HD 06 via firewire. I have a HC30, and a HC32 and neither will import to my computer. They both used to import about a year ago, but won't anymore. My dad's camera (a HC21) will import with no problem, so I know it's not the cable or firewire port on the computer.
    What is going on here? I need help with this before i loose my mind!!!

    hi, did you get this resolved? I'm in what sounds like the same situation, which is desperate now. I am trying to import from a Sony Handycam - DCR-HC37 mini DV cam into my Macbook Pro with iMovie HD 06.
    I plugged it into a friend's new Macbook 2 weeks ago and it worked fine, but then last week when I tried it in his Macbook again it wouldn't work.
    It worked fine on my Macbook Pro with iMovie - about 8 months ago, but now it won't show up in iMovie, no matter how many times I disconnect it - reconnect it, restart camera, restart laptop. I have to show some footage at one of the most respect art institutions in England next week, and if I don't get this footage I've been collecting over the last 2 months off my Handycam I am going to be in deep trouble!!!
    I really hope that someone can make sense of this problem, I've seen lots of people posting similar problems, but I don't know if this has a resolve or not.
