MBP15 2009 won't recognize Panasonic TV

Hi, I have a MBP15 that since I've installed Lion (I'm up to date and have 10.7.2) has not been able to connect from my mini-display HDMI convertor by Moshi to my Panasonic Viera television. It had always worked without a problem before the upgrade. I have been able to use the convertor with no problem at all when using a few different Samsung LCD's.
I plug everything in, the screen flashes blue very quickly, but the TV is never recognized. I have tried to restart with the plug in, with the plug out, I've tried to do it with the TV off/on, while in a different input and every other combination, but it never recognizes. Occasionaly I will get a longer blue screen that makes me think its going to work, but it doesn't. I've opened Displays and tried to detect it and that doesn't work, either.
I have tried to look through the threads, but I'm seeing more about people with Phillips TV's and not much about Panasonic. Can anyone help or should I just call Apple?

I apologize, I wasn't thinking and put in MBP 2009, I am using a mid 2010. I wish it would let me edit, but it won't.

IPhoto 2009 won't recognize second iPhone

iPhoto opens automagically for me when I plug in my iPhone via the usb sync cable. I usually transfer photos from my iPhone's cameral roll to a new event in iPhoto 2009. It will also recognize my wife's iPad when we plug it in.
However, I cannot get iPhoto to "see" my wife's iPhone when we plug it in. I would like to clear her phone's camera roll to iPhoto.
Both phones are 3GS with updated firmware. The iPhoto is updated, and is running on a MacBook with updated Snow Leopard. Any helpful ideas?
Thanks!

I've seen this same advice in several places on the web and thought this might be my problem as well.
However, I'd remembered success in the past and found that by waiting after performing a few computer restarts and iPhone restarts and disconnecting and reconnecting the Mac/iPhone usb cable it "might" connect. I've been successful even with the alien pictures in the iPhones, though it is frustrating and I have to wait. I suggest waiting 10 minutes.
I have over 40,000 photos & movies in iPhoto and almost 2000 in my iPhones.

Aperture won't recognize Panasonic JPG files

I just recently picked up a Panasonic DMC-FZ200. All of my previous photography has been with Nikon/Canon.
I took a SD card with some JPG files and when I go to import it, Aperture shows no files on the card. When I look at the card in Finder, the files are all there and readable. So I used Finder to copy the files to my hard drive.
I went into Aperture and pointed it to the hard drive directory where the JPG files were. They show up in Finder, they don't show up in Aperture.
I go into iPhoto, point it to my Aperture Library, and then I ask iPhoto to import the images from the SD card. That works fine. iPhoto has no problem. I then quit iPhoto and bring up Aperture using the same library and the pictures show up just fine. So my question is this: Why can iPhoto see these pictures and bring them into the Aperture Library, but Aperture can't see the pictures on the same card plugged into the same computer.
As an FYI, I have the latest versions of both Mountain Lion and Aperture, and the computer is a Macbook Pro mid-2012 15" retina display with 16GB of memory.

Frank,
I can't thank you enough. I normally am set to RAW + JPEG and I usually shoot both. This morning I shot some RAW only and I am guessing that the setting automatically flipped to RAW ONLY as a result? And then it stayed there when I showed up with my JPEG only?
Anyway, I've been using Aperture for several years and processed many thousands of photos through it without running into this and was at my wits end before I posted. I can't thank you enough for the help.
The people on these forums are the best. My hat is off to you, Frank Caggiano.

Erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx? it won't recognize any old system disc

erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx? it won't recognize old system discs

Did you try:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you don't have the original discs that came with the computer, then you can install the retail version of Snow Leopard:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

My old mac and 3g won't recognize my iphone4s - and the new itunes on my pc won't recognize the 3g

Hi, I'm having issues syncing my information from two separate computers to my new phone.
I backed up my old iPhone 3g on my iBookG4. The G4 does not support the iPhone 4s because it's too old and I cannot update to Lion or Leopard because it's too old.
I have a Dell that I bought in 2009 (i know i know, it was cheap and i had to get it for a class i was taking) - anywho, I have downloaded the new version of iTunes for the iPhone 4s and this version of iTunes won't recognize the 3g - I'm guessing because it is so outdated.
So, I can't get the old computer to read the new phone or the new computer to read the old phone.
What I attempted was home sharing with iTunes and that got all my music and apps, but contacts and calendars I can't move.
Any suggestions??
thanks.
ps this mac is so old that the letter a just popped off the keyboard

Syncing of devices running iOS4 and higher requires iTunes 9.x and higher.
iOS 4.3 and higher requires iTunes 10.x or higher.
Regardless, iTunes 9.x and 10.x require Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Is your Windows system current with all Windows updates?

My cd/dvd drive won't recognize my cd pavillion dv4

Every time I put a CD or DVD into my CD/DVD drive, it won't recognize it. It "thinks" for about a minute and then stops. Sometimes if I open and close it will work but not always. I have a Pavillion dv4 with windows 7 that I bought in November 2009 (but my entire hard drive was replaced in May 2011)

Hi,
Please try the following method to fix first:

Clean Install of 10.8.2 Won't Recognize the BackUp Drive as a Valid Time Machine Drive. Applications Needs to be Restored

Hi, for some reason my clean installed 10.8.2, when I use the Migration Assitant won't recognize Time Machine [It's mounted alright (Firewire 800 with green icon with the Time Machine logo) Western Digital, My Book Studio model. I probably should have opted for Apple's significantly expensive Time Machine when it comes to integration and backup]. It would go into Time Machine but the Restore would be dimmed out. All the snapshots are from Mountain Lion; I'm wondering why it's not compatible. If I try to restore the Applications it won't let it. I've manually copied the Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Movies, Music files but I can't find the the Applications folder in that external backup drive to copy from or at least see what apps I've installed and reinstall them.
How do I go about at least viewing what apps are in my latest Time Machine snapshot so I can reinstall- a blessing in disguise coz' at least it'll be more streamlined. It's prudent, by God's grace that I have another USB external drive with Snow Leopard on it to run some apps I've used before doing the clean install (I had to erase and zero-out the hard drive for security because it's part of the Apple hardisk replacement program which I'm thankful for- AppleCare is worth it for very expensive gadgets like this late-2009 iMac. Reinstalling and putting things back to normal is a little tedious, thankfully there are other projects to be busy with while it copies and downloads updates).
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Does Time Machine by default exclude System and Applications Folder (I didn't click any option to exclude those I remembered)? How do I not exclude the Applications folder and System files this time around?
In Time-Travel view when I point it to the Applications folder, it switches to the Volumes folder and the Restore is dimmed. I wonder if it's incompatible because it's not Apple's Time Machine or it's a bug with Moutain Lion (the drive is backing up the new clean install of Mountain Lion now but when I test it, use Migration Assistant if I need to restore things again, it still doesn't see it as a Time Machine backup).
What could be the solution? Should I reinstall my applications again (I guess that's a blessing in disguise, now I can declutter)?
Thank you.

Pro Doesn't recognize Panasonic PV-GS250

I want to import movies created on my 3-chip Panasonic PV-GS250, but the MBP won't recognize the camcorder. No, it does not have firewire, but surely there must be a way using the USB cable! I don't want to spend hundreds more $$ for a new camera.
Solution anyone?

Welcome to the Forums!
No, it does not have firewire
Ummmm...it most certainly does!! And the FireWire connection is the best for digital video (USB can drop frames, FireWire won't). Admittedly, it's not called "FireWire" by Panasonic. You'll see terms like DV-Link, IEEE1394, etc. All are FireWire. All you need is a 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire cable, plug the 4-pin (smaller end) into the camera (the port is marked DV), and the 6-pin end into your Mac. The camcorder should be set to playback mode not PC mode (and *this is important*, since in PC mode iMovie will see the camcorder but give a connection error, but with the camcorder in playback iMovie should detect it and control it - at least, it does for my PV-GS35).

Itunes 8.2.1 won't recognize my 3.0 iPhone

Version 8.2.1 is buggy. I am not the only user who is finding that this version of iTunes no longer recognizes my 3.0 iPhone. Occasionally it won't recognize my iPod Classic until I restart my iMac (circa 2007). My iPhone software is up to date (version 8.0.4 released on 06/30/2009).
I have:
Deleted iTunes 8.2.1
Shut off iTunes helper.
As per an Apple Document on this issue (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747)
I have deleted AppleMobileDevice.kext and
I have deleted AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
I have emptied the trash
Then restarted the iMac
Then reinstalled iTunes 8.2.1
It did not recognize my iPhone
restarted the iMac again
It did not recognize my iPhone
Apple, where can I get a copy of iTunes 8.2.0. Everything worked with that one.

Thank you, Matt. Actually I did turn up that site in my initial search. Thing is the old itune versions are for Windows and Vista. I'm on an iMac. Have not found an old version for OSX.
Anyhow, I did solve my problem. I had connected to the iMac through a USB hub. When I connected the iPhone and iPod classic directly to the iMac itself, itunes recognized the devices. Oddly, it did not detect them on the more modern USB cable that came with the iPhone 3.0, but with an older, larger cable that came with the iPod classic. Go figure.
The recent software update for the iPhone, supposedly to fix an issue with texting, has returned both iPhone and iPod to their former state and I am able again to connect through a hub (after a couple of iMac restarts -- what else in new!)
Thanks for the reply. My question seems not to be a popular one. I wonder if the connection problem is as widespread as I thought.

Ipod touch 2g stuck on restore mode, pc won't recognize it

I wanted to do a complete restart of my ipod, so I went ahead and used the "Erase all content and settings" option, it took about an hour to erase completely and then it rebooted, and got stuck on the apple logo screen. I tried reseting it presing the home and the sleep button at the same time for about ten seconds, but it was then stuck again on the apple logo screen. I connected the ipod to the computer while pressing the home button and I got the connect to Itunes creen, but my pc won't recognize it.
I have already tried restoring on several computers with several cables, all with the same result, what should I do?

- First try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes. See the following for recovery mode.
- If that does not work try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring via iTunes. See:

My uMBP won't recognize recordable DVDs, can't burn

I have a early 2009 uMBP that won't recognize burnable DVDs. I originally had heard that it might have been a problem with cheap media disks, so I purchased another brand and have not had any success. My computer won't even recognize them when I insert them into the drive. I am getting errors from Toast as well as iDVD. The finder window also doesn't open asking me what I want to do when I stick the burnable DVD into the drive like it normally does. But I am able to play CDs and DVDs without any problems. Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks for the help so far guys. Here are answers to the questions that have been asked so far:
I have tried using Sony DVD+R, Windata DVD+R and TDK DVD+R.
I looked in Sys Prefs and they weren't set to ignore.
Here are the specs from system profiler:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868:
Firmware Revision: KB19
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 0 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
I tried the Windata disk again, and low and behold, it actually burned. But why didn't it recognize it the countless other times that I tried previously? I also just noticed this, but the system profiler says that it only will burn DVD-R and DVD-RW, not R/RWs. That's crap. My old MBP used to burn them all. Could the reason that it hasn't been working be because I have been using +Rs, not realizing that my computer says that it will only burn -Rs? And if so, how did it just burn on the +R if it only says it will burn -R?
I am definitely taking it to the Genius bar, but I definitely want to make sure that I have an idea of what is going on before I go in there. I have a history of not being able to replicate problems once I get to the genius bar...

OS X 10.10.1 won't recognize the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT side of 9400m/9600m dual video card

My 15" mid 2009 MBP 2.8 ghz 8g ram won't recognize the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT side of 9400m/9600m dual video card since upgrading to yosemite 1010.1 When I try to choose the better performance option I get black screen and a reboot loop. Any ideas why or solutions as to how to make the better video card work?

10.8.5 won't recognize my camera for download

My computer won't recognize my camera for picture downloads. Worked before with older Mac system.

Your Panasonic should work fine under normal circumstances.
Remove the firewire hub from the loop. It will be a trouble maker.
Formatting must be Mac OS Extended. To check it, go to the firewire icon on your Desktop and right click it then select Get Info.
If it's not Mac OS Extended, use the disc utility to re-format, be aware that this will erase all files so BACKUP any imortant files before proceding.
You will need a spare firewire port to plug in the camera. Some externals have two, if yours has two, try it, otherwise you will have to add the suggested card to add the additional port.
Does the G4 have two?
The card arrangement gives you an additional BUS and is light years ahead of a firewire port for video editing.

Firewire Problem - Won't See Panasonic DVX100

I have a brand new 24" aluminum iMac. It won't recognize a Panasonic DVX 100 dv camera. The same camera works on my old 15" flatpanel iMac -- same OS version (10.4.10) and same version of Quicktime (7.2). I'm using the Firewire 400 port. The new iMac will recognize other devices on this port -- including an old Sony HandyCam camera and iMac g3 in firewire target mode. I've tried everything -- power down, reset PRAM, update Quicktime, turn device on and off, etc. The DVX discussion boards have other reports of people who can't get the new iMacs to recognize the DVX100. Any help??

Success! (sort of) -- the work around described elsewhere on this forum works, namely hooking the device up through an external firewire hub. In this case, I connected a firewire-based cd read/write drive to the computer and then hooked the camera to the cd drive, so the cd drive was functioning as a hub. The computer recognized the camera and FCP 6 was able to recognize and control the camera.

ITunes won't recognize my 120 gb iPod Classic?

My mac recognizes my iPod Classic as a device but not specifically as an ipod and itunes won't recognize it so I can't sync any of my music...it worked perfectly fine this morning. I think I messed it up but I don't know how to fix it, so here's the story: Originally I was just trying to put movies (that are in itunes) onto my ipod through my mac but nothing worked (i tried manually and automatically syncing, changing the file type, etc), so I plugged it into my PC laptop to try to put the movies on it that way but it reformatted my iPod and deleted everything and the movies didn't even go on.. when I plugged it back into my Mac itunes opened automatically like it should but didn't recognize any devices so I can't even restore it to reformat it Nothing that I have come across on the internet has worked. please help me

I have the same problem. Downloaded iturne 9 and now it wont recognize my iPod. My Computer recognizes it until itunes opens then itunes ejects the ipod. I have a Classic 80GB. I have reset it, I have reinstalled itunes. No go. I think that I read somewhere in the download section (too late obviously) that itune 9 only syncs Classics (fall 2009) versions and iphones.
