Missing Camera, P2 cards and that irksome yellow triangle

Hello all! I'm an intermediate FCP X user and I'm running into an issue I have never before experienced. I was hoping you could help!
Here's the breakdown:
I am editing an hour long special for TV on FCPX 10.1.3. There is approx 10 hours of footage from multiple days and multiple cameras. All of my media comes from P2 cards.
All media has been imported from the same location. 90% of media is available and just fine every time I open the library. But that troublesome 10% continually goes offline. I also get the yellow triangle in 2 events, even though it shows nothing is offline.
With that 10%, I don't get the "Missing Media File" error...I get the "Missing Camera" error. I read on here that P2 cards are often treated as cameras, but I don't understand why most files work and a handful do not. Most everything I've imported has been copied to my FCP Original Media folder. Even when those files go offline, I can see many clips have been copied to that Original Media folder. These clips also have a camera icon in the lower left. I haven't been able to figure out any rhyme or reason as to why these particular files continue to go offline.
Also, I directly imported the P2 files from the FCPX import function; unfortunately, in Finder, these aren't simply .mov clips. Instead, they create several folders that in FCP 7 would be logged and transferred.
And the oddest part of all: if I go to re-import clips (instead of re-linking, because those "camera" clips won't let me) I don't even actually re-import. I just click the raw video folder in the import window, where they're located, and it all returns to normal.
As far as trouble shooting, I have:
-deleted the troublesome events and reimported from the same location as I previously did.
-double checked files and made sure they're in the Original Media folders.
-re-linked/re-imported whatever I can, just can't get them to stay online when I re-open the project.
So, yeah...that's pretty convoluted, I know. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any and all suggestions/advice would be extremely helpful!

Update: I deleted render files, created new event and copied clips over. This solved the problem for two events that contained only clips. But I have one event that contains all my projects...each project is 100% online...but still the yellow triangle. Any thoughts?

How do I know if my image resolution is too low now that the yellow triangle warning is gone?

I am creating a book in iPhoto 11 for the first time. In older versions, I would get a yellow triangle indicating my image quality was too low for that size image. Based on other threads, it looks like iPhoto no longer gives the warning. What is the best way to know if the image will print okay? Is there a workaround so I can check the quality of the image prior to printing out the book?

I noticed that there's not resolution waring also. Create a PDF file of the book and look at the pages at full sized with Preview and determine if the photos are sharp enough for you.
I ran a test with two images, one 4000 x 3000 pixels and the other 230 x 200 pixels in a 2 photo per page book page and then created a pdf of the book, Modern Lines theme. This is a screenshot of the page in Preview at View ➙ View Full Sized:
This screenshot is of the same photo in a different 2 photo per page layout in the same theme. It does look more like I expected:
Right click on the image and select Show in New Window from the Contextual menu. I'm really surprised the first example of the small image looked as good as it did. I expected a very pixelated image like the second example but iPhoto upsized it rather nicely. So iPhoto can upsize a small photo to some degree but I don't recommend relying on it for such small images. And it is a very, very, very small image. Soif your image is reasonably large you should be OK. But check it in the PDF file.

Microsoft ISATAP and 6to4-Adapter yellow triangles in device manager

Hello,
we´ve disabled IPv6 via Registry. Now we noticed that the ISATAP and 6to4-Adapter have yellow triangles in device manager. My question is: is that normal behavior, when disabling IPv6? Can we remove this adapters without no issues? Or schould we install
drives (which)?
Thanks.

Hi,
This adapter is used to transfer IPv6 site to IPv4 site, if you disable IPv6, this adapter is useless.
You can directly delete is if you don't need it anymore.

Is it possible to tether into Aperture 3 and have the images saved both to my camera's card and the Aperture project?

Just had a great shoot, but surprised it didn't save to the card also, is this possible?
Thanks!

There are no settings in Aperture to control this that I have ever run across.
You should check your camera's manual to see if there are any settings to control the camera when shooting tethered.

I can't download apps for my iPod/ iPad and there is $30.00 on my account and it wont let me use it . It tells me to sign in with my debit card and that doesn't work either so I know there is a problem with iTunes

Hello ,
I have purchased an itunes card 2 weeks ago and it doesnt work then we had to go back to the store to get a new one from them. And No One Has Answered Me IN 5 Days
Please HELP ME

I am trying to add a new credit card and it keeps telling me that I have to enter a valid security code...I have tried 2 different cards and it is doing the same thing. How do I get past this?

I guess it has been a year since I last purchased something on I-tunes and my account is saying that they couldn't authorize my card for some of my purchases. I am trying to add a new credit card to clear this up and it keeps saying that I have to enter a valid security code. I have tried 2 different cards and I get the same thing. I have also added an I-tunes gift card and that isn't clearing up the money that I owe. It is showing that I have a $25 credit for that. How do I fix this, I have been trying for days and all I have got from the e-mail tech support is that its my credit card issuer that is causing the problem. Thats not correct because one of the credit cards that I am trying to use, is a prepaid Visa gift card. I know that these work on I-tunes because I have used them before in the past. I am getting very frustrated with this whole process, I just want to clear up my account and buy some new music!! HELP!!

You probably ran into blocks & locks.

My iPhone cable gave me a warning this morning that it was not certified to work with this phone, but it is the cable that came with the phone and that i have been using for a year and a half. Why?

i plugged in my 18 month old iPhone to charge it, using the cable that came with it and that I have used regularly all along. I got a warning on my phone screen saying the cable is not certified and may not work properly with my iPhone. Why?

If you updated iPhone to iOS7, it now checks for real Apple Lightning Cable. Your cable may not be Apple, or someone swapped another cable with yours. Make sure the cable end is clean, take a clean dry toothbrush and carefully clean charging port on the iPhone.

Office Home and Student 2013 error message with yellow triangle

I have been using my word and excel they were working fine. Now there is a yellow triangle top right corner by my initials. I finally got it to show me only for a moment what it means. Error Message: did not realize I should have copied it down but
after error message it said to sign-out and sign back in. I have never had to sign in before the Office was installed in Dec 2013 by Best Buy. All they returned was the card they had used to download. When I tried to click on sign in it does nothing. The error
seems to have the word program very mixed up as it will preform some task but seems to lock me out of other normal things I usually do like spacing or changing font size just to name a few. I already checked for all updates on my computer per your sites suggestions.
How do I make the error message /yellow triangle go away and allow me to use the office home and student 2013 like it was working before. Please help I live alone, and near 60, live in the boondocks, and do not have any computer people within a 4 hour drive
round trip. Thank you

Now there is a yellow triangle top right corner by my initials.
Hi,
As per the description, it looks like an issue with your microsoft account. Does the error message look like below?
ACCOUNT ERROR
Sorry, we can't get to your account right now.
To fix this, please sign in again.
Sign in
You mentioned that "a yellow triangle top right corner by my initials", you probably have already signed in with an acocunt. If you remember this account, I'd suggest you click
File>Account on the tab, click Sign out under
User Information, and then sign-in again. If you don't have this account, you probably need to contact the retailer for it.
If issue persists, please post back with the details of your system environment, then we will take a further look.

Mountain Lion won't display .MTS files from camera SD card in the finder

OS Mountain Lion will not show .MTS files from my camera SD card in the finder.
I don't want to play them. I just need to see a list of the files so that I can copy them off the card onto a hard drive. I know how to convert them.
I have a Panasonic High Def video camera that records .MTS files.
I understand how to convert MTS files for editing in Final Cut Pro. It is not a problem. I have been doing this with no problems using OS 10.7.5
I plug in my camera, and the SD card shows up as a hard drive in my finder. I click on the hard drive icon and it opens several folders. DCIM, MISC, PRIVATE.
I click on the PRIVATE folder and subfolders open. I click on the AVCHD folder, and then go down to STREAMING, and there are the MTS files. I select them and import them into BIGASOFT video converter and convert them to .MOV files, which I can edit in FCP.
So that works great in OS 10.7.5
Here is my problem:
On my new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.3 I plug in the camera. It reads the SD card.
I see the folder DCIM and I see the folder MISC. But the PRIVATE folder (where the .MTS files reside) shows up as a QuickTime icon. I click on that, but the MTS files do not show up.
I don’t need to play the MTS files. I don’t need to know how to convert them. I can do that.
I right clicked on the PRIVATE (not folder but QT icon) and selected "show package contents." That gave me another list, with an icon for AVCHD, but when I right clicked again and selected "show package contents" the MTS files would not appear.
I just need to be able to see as a list and copy them on to a hard drive. Why does Apple make this so hard?

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO RECOGNIZE AND IMPORT MTS FILES. (No help from Apple.)
After 4 frustrating hours and about 40 useless minutes wasted on Apple Support chat, I figured this out.
Okay, here are the steps to allow Mountain Lion to see your MTS files on a Panasonic camera SD card and import them:
Click on your camera SD card.
RIGHT Click on PRIVATE icon. (This used to be a folder, now it is a Quicktime logo.)
Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
Click on AVCHD
Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
Click on BDMV
Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
Open the folder called STREAM
There are your MTS files. Select them and copy them to a folder on your hard drive.
Purchase some type of video converter (I paid 30 bucks for Bigasoft Converter and it works.)
Import the MTS files into the video converter and set the commands (This is several more steps, which you will have to figure out.) This will take quite a while for large, High Def files.
Save converted files to your hard drive.
NOW, finally FCP X will let you import and edit your files.
Thanks Apple for adding 12 steps where it should take one. “Log and Transfer” or IMPORT. You should fix this.
It took me about 4 hours of frustration to figure this out. Apple support chat service was no help at all. The girl in chat had no understanding of video files.
Thank you Apple, for hiding these files behind your Quicktime logo, thanks for adding extra steps and decreasing productivity. I've been using Macintosh computers since 1987. I would not own a PC, but Apple is not what it used to be. Why would you not just let the .MTS files show without hiding them?

I am new to iMac. Camera memory card

I am new to my iMac. I inserted my camera memory card and successfully uploaded my photos, but when I take the card out of the computer I get an error message that atells me I should eject it properly. How do I do this?

Select the card's icon and either use the Command E keyboard shortcut or select Eject from the File menu. Or, drag the card's icon to the trash can folder on the Dock (which will magically turn into the eject icon as you do so).

Yellow triangle and a grayed out movie clip

Hi, I created a project in iMovie 08, kind of elaborate for me, with several movie clips, each with a transition, and background music from iTunes through out the majority of the 3 minute and 30 second final project. Initially, all was well and the project played perfectly. A couple of days later when I went into iMovie 08 to enhance the project, several clips were grayed out and had a yellow triangle in the clip. Placing the cursor over the clip resulted in the clip "coming to life" that is revealing the clip but the clip was not visible in the browser and the grayed out clips were not visible if I played the project in full screen mode. If I published the project to the web, the grayed out clips would not show (the video portion); the audio which was part of the whole project would play. I do not think I moved any clips to a different location although I certainly added other clips to iPhoto and then to iMovie. I just finished the lynda.com training on iMovie 08 which was just released and I got no help from that training on the yellow triangle problem. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Great news! After some browsing around, I located the problem, and now my movie project is fixed!
As it turns out, videos that are located in iPhoto are referenced based on the Event that they belong to, which means that if you change the name of the Event that the picture belongs to then iMovie will no longer be able to find your picture. (This is also why the clips appear in the lower section of iMovie, because they are still there, just in a renamed or merged event.)
I was able to fix the problem very easily by renaming my event back to the original name, and then after closing and restarting iMovie all the nasty little yellow triangles were gone and all my clips were back as if they'd never left.
This may or may not help, but for me, to make sure that I got the event name correct, I found the movie file (which was in "Movies/iMovie Projects") and then right mouse clicked and selected "Show Package Contents" so that I could see what was in my project, and then opened the "Project" file, which had the names listed in it. Hope that helps!

Network Diagnostic Service won't run, Symantec turned off, yellow triangles by all network devices

We have a Lenovo laptop that suddenly cannot connect to the network (Windows 2008 R2 domain). The o/s is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The system tray icon shows that no network connections are available. When I run the troubleshooter, Windows detects that the Network
Diagnostic Service is not running, and when the troubleshooter attempts to fix it, nothing happens.
Looking in Device Manager, I see a Realtek LAN card, a Cisco wireless card, Teredo Tunneling adapter, and 5 WAN miniports. All are showing a yellow triangle. Under Unknown Devices, I have one device with a question mark and 5 with yellow triangles. I tried
uninstalling/reinstalling the network adapters, but it made no difference.
In addition, I got a message yesterday in the Action Center that Symantec Endpoitn Protection and Windows Firewall were both turned off. This made me suspect malware, but a Malwarebytes scan did not turn up anything. I am now trying a scan in Safe mode.
I've googled this extensively and have seen articles about Teredo Tunneling issues and Network Diagnostic Service issues, but I am not sure of the root of my problem. I don't want to try registry edit solutions or uninstall anything else if those solutions
are not my specific issue.
Any help appreciated.

Hello Peg2011,
Have you made any changes before the laptop can’t connect to the network?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Update the network cards drivers from the manufacturer website
2. If you still can’t connect to the network, please run the command ipconfig /all to check if the IP information is right and share us the result.
As this issue occur suddenly, you could try to use the system restore to return your PC's system files and programs to a time when everything was working fine.
For more information about system restore, please take a look at the following article.

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?
