Mountain Lion cannot recognize AVCHD name/folders !

Mountain Lion transforms AVCHD folders into a single QuickTime file. AVCHD folders ae produced by video cameras, and it is a professional standard. We shoot and record on SD cards. Then upload the files to our Macs. The probleme is that when we insert an SD Card, Mountain Lion seems to change the structure of the card, and the AVCHD folder becomes a QuickTime file, with the QT icon. So we need to right-click on the name, show package contents, and keep doing that until we arrive to the folder which contains the .mts files, which are the actual video files.
I did a simple test: put an SD card in a card reader, and renamed the AVCHD file to a (like the letter). It became a folder! I renamed the file inside (b) which also became a folder. And when I opened it, the expected files where there, and ready to be transfered.
Any fix or solution  for this problem which is rapidly becoming a negative point for Mountain Lion amongst the community of videographers?

This is very annoying. 
The workaround I use is to right click the "quicktime file" and select "show package contents."  This opens the folder.  If there is a folder inside that one that also has AVCHD files in it, you will have to repeat the proess until you get to the files themselves. 
This is very annoying when you deal with these files all the time and you have to go through 5 layers of files to get where you need to go.  The glitch needs fixed...fast.

    Make sure that you choose Mail>View>Show Mailbox List, then hover your cursor over one of the subordinate mailbox categories, and you should see "Show." Next click on "Show."

  • When I installed Mountain Lion it asked the name of my computer. I was in such a hurry that I now have a typo. How can I go back and change the name of the computer?

    How do I change the name of my computer?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • MBP Mountain Lion Cannot read or recognized Micro SD Card and SDHD card

    I recently did an update on my MBP and imac (both are mountain lion: OS X 10.8.2 ). Now both cannot read or recognize my Micro SD card (inserted using adapter**) or my SDHD card when inserted in SD slot. I could not see the card in Disk utility either. I started having the problem today after I did the update earlier this week, but last week it was working fine. Can someone please help me? I do not know what else to do. Your kindness is highly appreciated.Thank you.

  • Mac Reminder (Mountain Lion) cannot sync with Exchange Server 2010

    Hi All,
    My boss is using iMac reminder (Mountain Lion), iPhone and iPad sync with his Exchange Server account, He cannot sync Mac reminder with Exchange Server last week. However, there are no sync problem of iPhone, iPad and the other iMac.
    My boss mail to me 'Just noticed that my iMac reminder is not in sync with the server. IOS device is in sync though. Tried unchecking calendar+reminder on account setup and rechecking but still no good. Any ideas?'
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks,

    Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
    ERROR Says:
    Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
    The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
    Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
    !!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
    Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

  • Any news about Mountain Lion not closing open files / folders on smb server shares?

    Hey Apple, anyone listening?
    Are there any new about this issue, where Mac clients cannot move/edit/rename each others files and folders on a smb server share? We are a graphics work group in an otherwise Windows-centered enterprise. We have mac clients with OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.8, and recently 10.8.5. None of the older clients can work with files or folders created by the new machine, meaning that InDesign files will open read only, files and folders cannot be moved or renamed. This is absolutely critical in a flexible work environment, where any graphics designer must be able to jump into any other project on short notice.
    As mentioned in other threads around the web, this seems to be a problem not with file permissions but with the finder not releasing/closing files and folders correctly when not actually in use. (a known issue is the fact, that i.e. Acrobat pdf must not be viewed in column views preview, if anyone else wants to overwrite that file, but this issue here goes much further). We urgently need a fix for that!
    I'm really desparate about this topic, since the IT-department is already reluctant to offer mac support and to look into these problems; if there is no solution to this, we will be switched to windows workstations by the end of the year ... Apple, do you want that? We surely don't!
    A frustrated user

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer. Does that mean, that there is a solution to this on the server side?  Is this ACL stuff a matter of setting up the server correctly, rather than a problem with mountain lion's networking?
    If i could be sure about this, I would approach our IT department... (the are just waiting for some Mac User pestering them ) ...

  • Mountain Lion - cannot copy and paste in finder

    Hey,
         I've only just noticed this today and I've done a search but can't find anything so far to help me. I upgraded from lion to mountain lion the day after it was released, not fresh install, upgrade. Basically... I cannot copy files using either cmd+c / cmd+v or using the finder edit->copy / edit-> paste menu. They aren't greyed out. Everytime I try I get the error "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.".
    This will happen even with a newly created folder. I can delete files. I can create files. I can drag files in finder without issue but I cannot copy and paste. I'm guessing there are permission issues going on but I don't know where to start.
    Repairing permissions didn't help (I kinda didn't think it would given it only works on system files but thought it worth a go).
    This is an example of the file permissions assigned to a screen grab on my desktop:
    -rw-r--r--@  1 jackwestbrook  staff  
    64257  1 May 19:48 Screen Shot 2012-05-01 at 19.48.27.png
    Even if I blow it wide open with chmod 777 I still can't copy it...
    -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 jackwestbrook  staff  
    64257  1 May 19:48 Screen Shot 2012-05-01 at 19.48.27.png
    These are the permissions assigned to my desktop:
    drwxr--r--+  19 jackwestbrook  staff
    646 19 Aug 18:24 Desktop
    Can anyone offer me some advice on where to start with sorting out this issue?
    Cheers,
    Jack

    Hey, I was really loathed to try reinstalling the OS and something told me that I'd I can drag and drop but not copy and paste there had to be something interfering with the clipboard.
    I disabled Alfred and its clipboard history feature (http://www.alfredapp.com/) and rebooted. Amazingly this fixed my issue. I'm going to email the author in the morning to give them a heads up about this.
    Thanks to both of you for taking the time to offer me advice.
    John Guo - nice tip, wasn't aware of that!

  • Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
    Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
    It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

    It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
    My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
    I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
    I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

  • Mountain Lion upgrade loses Calendar/gmail folders

    Yesterday I updated my Macbook Pro from Snow Leopard, where I had been a Mobile Me user, to Mountain Lion. I see that my Address Book has been migrated to Contacts as expected and syncked to iCloud, but my iCal entries have not been migrated to the new Calendar. Also, the new Mail doesn't let me see my Gmail IMAP folders, although I can see them if I go to Gmail's web site. Is there anything I can do to restore my iCal entries and my Gmail folders?
    —Ken Nellis

    Uh, okay, I figured out the gmail issue. (There's a "show" button that appears if you hover the mouse pointer in the right spot.) But the calendar issue is still an issue. —KN

  • Mountain Lion - Cannot download additional components???

    My MacPRO (2008) was running like clock work, but recently a gremlin has appeared. I have been on this forum before and so far all information has been really useful. The mac would start up and shutdown in one motion. I didn't even have enough time to bypass or boot from an alternate drive so it was off to the mac centre to find the cause. Weirdly enough they found nothing wrong and it was good to go. I decided this might be an opportunity to rebuild from scratch and so my 4 drives I zeroed the data and tried to reload Mac OSX 10.8. It starts all well and good before stopping after a few minutes and flagging a problem "cannot download additional components". What is causing this and how do i get around the problem. I would take it back to service centre but have lost confidence in there competency since everytime I take it there it comes out worse than it went in.

    Did you get to the point where you have downloaded the entire package from AppStore?
    Save the ESD package and prepare an install disk and do a clean install.
    Usually - there was one person recently here but cannot find buried in a thread, they had 10.8.2 and the installer is 10.8.3.
    What are you running now?
    As for the original problem, for which no problem was found... are you using an SSD to boot the system?
    How to do clean install of Mountain is same as was for Lion, with how to clone a system.
    Make sure you have 8GB flash drive, or even a small (16-32GB) partition (yes, you can setup an installer to run from hard disk drives to do a clean install to another drive or partition).

  • Mountain Lion cannot reboot after I used windows 7 with bootcamp

    I go to bootcamp partition and run windows 7 without any problems.
    Then I restart and try to use Mountain Lion on an encrypted partition. It keeps rebooting.
    Then I keep trying until I can go back to mountain lion. I don't know what I do that makes it work. I keep shuting it down and trying again, safe mode whatever.
    Once I finally get Mountain Lion to start, it appers to be working perfectly.
    The error when I can finally use mountain lion again is this:

    Hi all,
    I cannot, for the life of me, get my phone to recognize the name Tibor when I dictate. It constantly comes out "keyboard."  I have put a phonetic spelling in the contact (tried several variants of "tee boar," tea-bore," etc...) but it still hears "keyboard". Even spelling seems not to help as it cannot hear the difference between my "B" and "P". Any thoughts?
