Multiple computers unable to initialize decks.

I have something very odd happening. At the University where I teach we have multiple Macs all running Final Cut. First one PowerPC started giving a message that it was "unable to initialize" the deck. I tried two decks and two cameras... nothing. Now I have three machines all giving me the same message. I brought my Computer and Deck from home (Sony DV Cam) which was working. I plugged it into one of the school's computers and zip. I plugged back into my computer... and now it can't initialize. I've tried two brand new firewires (6 to 4 pin) and neither work.
I've checked all the setting and they are fine.
I have students trying to turn in final projects and I'm stumped.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this wide spread failure?
Thanks in advance

I plugged it into one of the school's computers and zip. I plugged back into my computer... and now it can't initialize.< </div>
My first conclusion is that your decks at the school have had their FW ports shorted and this is shorting out and destroying your computers' ports one at a time as each one is attached to the decks.
You bebug this with a simple binary test that will end in a small and relatively inexpensive disaster. If you cannot determine which of the decks (maybe all) have burned out FW ports (might google testing FW, there's probably a simple device for the task), you must locate working FW buses on a computer and then plug in your decks. Buy several cheap FW cards, install them in one machine. Fry them one at a time until you determine where the problem lies.

Unable to initialize deck?

I have 3 tapes from an event to capture and edit with my Panasonic DVX100B. The first tape captured fine. A couple of days later I try to capture another tape and suddenly I get "unable to initialize deck"!
I have...
1) Tried to capture on my Macbook Pro - same message
2) Tried to capture with a different camera - Canon Optura 40 - when I click capture it says "no video"
3) Deleted QuickTime Receipts and reinstalled QuickTime
4) Tried to capture with QuickTime and iMovie - no can do
5) Tried to change settings in FCP but it says "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC
any suggestions? Please help!
Diane

For whatever reason, your mac is not recognizing the deck/camera. Not sure what the issue is, since it obviously recognized the FW drive on at least one port, yet didn't recognize the 2nd camera.
My first thought would be bad FW cable(s)/port(s), but what you've explained doesn't sound like the problem.
FYI, updates are a tricky business...particularly QT. Final Cut tends to operate best with certain combinations of OS/FCP/QT. But that shouldn't explain your mac not even recognizing the camera(s).
Tell us exactly what versions of OS/FCP/QT you're currently working with.
Might also try connecting both cameras to see if they can see each other (ruling out bad FW ports on each). Might also go buy a new FW cable.

Unable to initialize HDV deck. Please make sure a deck is connected....

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I've done this before. I have a Canon HV20. I spent HOURS and HOURS on Sunday (two days ago) capturing 1.5 hours of video (DV, not HD) from my HV20 using iMovie09. Then spent more hours burning a DVD using iDVD09. Results were less than glamorous. Quite disappointing, video-quality-wise....
So today I reinstalled FCE 4.0 (HD) and decided to capture a few minutes of the same film and compare the results when making a DVD. My expectations are that it will look better. Naturally, I was hoping for the less-expensive, easier to use product (iMove09) would win, but so far, I can't compare because I keep getting "Unable to initialize HDV deck...". Folks, I have a firewire cable connected. I just used the same camera on the same cable on the same computer (macbook pro). the ONLY thing i changed was the software. Even switched back to iMovie for a minute to see if the cable still worked and sure enough, it's fine.
So, I'm blank on ideas here as to why "FILE/CAPTURE" in FCE would give me this error now. I'm waaaaaaaay open to ideas and even open to "stupid user error"... just tell me what it is....
This is soooooooooooo frustrating. Now I remember why I don't do video that often. Real pain in the butt sometimes...
Thoughts????

"Unable to initialize HDV deck...".
You seem to be trying to capture DV?
At the moment FCE is looking for a HDV camera and there is not one attached, a DV camera is.
Change the Easy Setup to the correct DV option to match the cameras output (audio and video), save, then try again.

Unable to initialize hdv deck problem

Hi all,
I'm having the 'unable to initialize hdv deck' problem. I am trying to capture HD footage from a Sony HVR-A1E camera. iLink and down conversion are off (like they should be) and I have just captured a HD tape before the problem started.
I don't understand how I could capture HD footage just fine and then without touching any settings (just trying to start capture again) I suddenly get the error message, "Unable to initialize HDV deck. Please make sure a deck is connected and try again."
Any ideas?

Definitely. Shot on HDV, definite difference between the clips I've captured so far (HD capture that worked fine before this is high quality sharp image, where as when capturing in SD, image quality is poor and smaller).
Everything has been filmed on the same camera with no setting changes between shots. Like I said before, I have already been able to capture today in HD just fine, but for some unknown reason (which I don't think is the prefs.) capture will not work. I can 'trick' FCE into HD capture but it gets stuck on cueing tape (even though video is playing fine on camera).

"Unable to initialize video deck" inquiry

I am new to Mac and FCE, so I ask for some slack...
I am trying to get video from my Panasonic AG DVX 100 into FCE.
About my system: IMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.5.2. I have FCE 4 on this computer, not an upgrade of earlier program, but version 4, straight out of the box. I know FCE is working, because I have edited a hour long project on it.
Here's my issue: With the first project complete, I want to import some new video into FCE and start another project. I connect the camera to the Mac via firewire (the white cable that I bought at the Mac store). When I go to "File" in FCE, I go to capture, and I get the following message:
*"Unable to initialize video deck. You may still use capture now."*
I continue by selecting "capture now." The capture window appears with "preview disabled" on the color bars, "no communication" at the bottom of the window. I hit "capture now" in the bottom right and I get the following message:
*"Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again."*
I can't seem to track down "capture presets" , so that's my first issue. This was not a problem the first time I captured video. While at the Mac store, we plugged the camera into other Macs, but still would not get a signal. On FC, it would recognize the camera for a second or two, then flash the "no communication" error. The Mac folks believed it was a camera video out issue.
Some additional factors:
1. it's not the video output on this particular camera. Since that Mac store visit, I hooked it up to another computer and I could see video. So I'm confident that the camera will send video through this firewire.
2. Back to my original project, I imported video into FCE using this cable and a different mini dv camera (sony). It worked with the Sony camera, but will not work with this Panasonic.
I asked another friend, a MAC/FC/Panasonic DVX 100 guy, and he has never encountered this particular error message. He believes it's some setting within the computer that can be fixed through a software patch.
I would be most grateful for insight into solving what is likely a problem others have experienced. Please keep in mind that I am new to this whole process, and will likely show this thread to the people at the Mac store during my next one-on-one class.
Thank you very much.

David:
Thanks for your suggestion. I did check the firewire to ensure it's securely in place, and it seems like it is.
I did connect this camera and this firewire into a friend's macbook, and the signal was successfully received.
So I don't think it's a "loose wire" possibility. We also checked another camera into my Mac's firewire port, and it was successful.
So for some unknown reason, this particular Mac will not recognize this particular camera.
Again, your insights are greatly appreciated.

Unable to initialize video deck

I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 and I get this message when trying to Capture Footage from my camera: "Unable to initialize video deck". My settings are on Firewire NTSC which is what I always use. I used it a week ago and it worked then and many times before, now all of a sudden, it doesn't work. Anyone know what the problem is? Is the firewire fried or is there something else that could be wrong?

I am having a similar problem. I have the Canon Z65 DV camcorder and have a firewire 800 cable that connects correctly to the camera and my newer Macbook Pro but i dont see anything under the Apple Info under firewire. It just lists the maximum speed for the firewire bus. I put the camera on VCR/Play mode and even tried setting the cameras VCR setting VCR-->DV to On but still i dont see any changes for whats connected to the firewire bus or the ability to see the camera in imovie.
Any advice?

Unable to initialize video deck, (can not capture from camera)

Hello All,
I am using a quad core G5 and am trying to capture some footage into Final Cut Pro version 5.0. I have two Panasonic DVX 100B mini DV cameras. I normally capture with a JVC BR-DV3000 mini DV deck but it is currently not working. So I'm trying to capture using my camera.
I hooked my camera up to my computer via firewire and started final cut, When I click File > Log and capture a little window pops up that reads:
" Unable to initialize video deck. You may still log offline clips or use Capture Now"
I'm not sure why this box is appearing. When I click the capture now button, the Capture window pops up and then I press play on the video camera and the footage plays on the camera but the capture window remains black or empty. I have tried both cameras and two different firewire cables with the same results. I have also tried to restart the computer.
Can anyone shine some light on this situation?
Thank you so much for your help.
Mike Wardynski

Are there any other firewire devices connected to your Mac?
Did you go into your easy setup and reselect the DV setting for the standard you are using?
Also sometimes, shutting down and restarting your Mac, after making these changes some times allows the new device to be recognized.
One other thing, the DV camera may have a menu setting that needs to be set for communication via firewire possibly?

Unable to initializeHDV deck. with a twist. I think.

Okay, I have done a search and found similar problems but am unable to fix my problem. I am using FCE4 for the first time today on my MBP. I am using the 4-bit/6-bit firewall cable. My camera is a Sony HDR-HC5. By following the tutorial on apple.com I was able to set up and capture my video from my camcorder with no problem my first time. It was just a short 5 minute practice. I thought I had it figured out. However, once I tried again, there were problems. Usually the "Unable to initialize HDV deck....." message. I have shut down, restarted, re-connected, etc. several times and keep getting this message. But once or twice, my camera would start to play once I hit capture, but a black box would appear on the screen (the box that had the video playing along with it when it worked) except this time it says something about trying to que. So.... what now?

First thing to do is establish exactly which format the camera shot with.
This can be DV or HDV.
The camera can also shoot with 12 bit or 16 bit audio that matches 32 or 48 kHz FCE Easy Setups respectively.
Next select the appropriate Easy Setup in FCE to match before capturing. If they don't match error reports appear.
Also you can check that the camera is connected with firewire using View>Video Out>Refresh Video Devices.

Unable to initialize capture device and device control in HDV

I shot with a Sony HVR-Z1U/Z1N and am using a Sony HDV 1080i tape deck to digitize.
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and installed FCP Pro 5 on it. After getting over some time code issues we were chugging along, when on the 4th tape the image on the log and capture screen suddenly dissapeared (I could get audio and could see the image on the tape deck). Well after taking the tape out, checking and rechecking it I popped it back in and ever since then, I have been getting this error mssg "Unable to initialize capture device and device control."
I have tried deleting the preferences and starting from scratch. If I do that, and choose the easy setup with HDV- 1080i60, it gives me this error "Unable to locate the following external devices- HDV (1440 X 1080) 30fps.
I upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 this morning and upgraded the OS to 10.4.7 and QT to 7.1.3 and still no change.
Im at my wits end, Ive been working on this for a whole week now.
Thank you,
Bugs

It has been reported to take more than one attempt to correct the installation but, if properly executed on a machine without other system problems, the QT reinstall process does work. The key element here is you must reinstall QT after you trash the receipts. The process is listed below.
x
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
If this doesn't work, then the problem lies elsewhere:
1. your system - user preferences, firewire ports or other system elements.
2. your equipment - camera/deck/firewire cables.
3. your process - not setting up the software properly or using the software erroneously.
Listed below is a troubleshooting process. Not all steps are appropriate but the general process of isolating the problem is useful.

Chris here again, from the iTunes Support team. I want to thank you for your quick response.
First off any computer this applies too needs to have the Mac App store on it, to share the app that you purchased you will need to log into the account that you first purchased Mac OS X Lion on in the first place to and then redownload the app onto the new computer and install it. This applies to any app that you wish to share on another computer.
Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for personal use. You may be asked for your Apple ID and password the first time you use an app. You won't have to provide them again unless you use the app on a different computer or there is an update.
This does not apply to purchasing other apps as you can have multiple account on one compute, once again, the only exception would be if there was an update, then you will be require to provided the username and password of the account that the app in this case Mac OS X Lion was purchased on.
I hope that I have been able to clarify things for you. If you have any further questions, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you.

So wait. To download other apps I wouldn't have to be logged into the computer using the initial os lion accounts I'd? If I get lion and i log into the other computer and select install from the purchase history, after authorizing of course, I won't have to log into my account, the one initially used to buy and install lion, to buy and install other apps onto the other computer?

Moving forward, I understand that you would like to get some answers about installing OS X - Lion onto another computer. I can definitely appreciate how eager you are to get some answers to your questions. I would be happy to assist you today in this matter.
I do first need to mention that I was unable to open the link that you have provided and thus unable to address any concerns related to that discussion.
You can redownload any apps including Lion that you have purchased from the Mac App Store without incurring additional charges.
To learn how to redownload apps on the Mac App Store, please refer to the steps in this article:
Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4482
If you continue to have difficulty downloading any applications, please reply to let me know or consult this article:
Troubleshooting the Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3624
So in summary, yes after you have initially downloaded it you can then goto another computer that you have access to and redownload it and install it there. That computer will have to be apart of your authorized computers which again is up to 5 authorized machines at one time per account. This is shared with iTunes so five maximum for both, as far as what I believe the store rep meant fur OS updates you would need to log into the account the OS was purchased to get upgrades.
Other than taking up one of the authorized computers this should have no other affect on your purchasing ability. If you have any issues with this or more questions, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you.

INITIAL EMAIL SENT: by me to apple representative
: So I had questions about os lion. Here is what an apple store representative told me.
https://storechat.apple.com/hc/6964264/?cmd=file&file=chatFrame&site=6964264&SV! chat-button-name=chat-us-consumer-sales-english-1&SV!chat-button-room=chat-us-co nsumer-sales-english-1&referrer=%28button%20dynamic-button:chat-us-consumer-sale s-english-1%28Help%20-%20Apple%20Store%20%28U.S.%29%29%29%20http%3A//store.apple .com/us/help%3Fmco%3DNzc1MjMwOQ&sessionkey=H4163946581421609647-4030035787087660 883K3438618
(note) for some reason this link doesn't work...
sorry for the gigantic link....
Basically, to download on multiple macs without buying 3 times I would :
1. buy and install on my mac
2. log into my account (the one i bought lion on)
3. authorize my account for use on my parent(s)' computer(s) (do i need to do this? didn't get this question answered)
4. either check purchase history for os lion or click buy now while logged into the account I initially bought it with and install on that computer
From what i've gathered from the store representative I've found that I need to use the account I got lion under for any further purchases on that computer. Is this true? If so does it affect iTunes at all (buying music and such)?
Are these steps valid and legal? There has been talk about doing it like this
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15676536#15676536
here is a discussion on the matter.
END OF EMAIL SECTION
HERE ARE THE SUMMERIZED STEPS:
1. go ahead and buy/download os lion on the account of your choice (make sure you know that this account needs to be used whenever you want to download os lion on multiple computers)
2. before going on, perhaps backing up the installer file upon completion of download would be good. This applies to people who have spotty internet as the installer file apparently disappears (self destructs) after installation but you can always re-download for free using the account initially used to install/buy/download.
3. Go to the computer you wish to install os lion on. Open up itunes then log into itunes using the same account that you used to purchase lion on. then go to the store tab at the top left of the screen (there should be an apple symbol, then iTunes in bold then there should be a tab further along the right side called store. and, under that, go to authorize this computer. If you do this and it says it's already authorized then thats good.
4. Open up the mac app store. Log into the account used to initially purchase lion. Go to purchase history and click install.
Now here is the catch. According to an email sent by an apple representative for the mac app store, there are limiations:
"This is what i had said before receiving the email: what i mean is that the computers in question belong to family members and not to me. I would not use them."
In this matter, I will quote you the terms and conditions of the mac app store that the Mac OS X Lion is bound by, Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for personal use. You may be asked for your Apple ID and password the first time you use an app. You won't have to provide them again unless you use the app on a different computer.
Since you are indicate that there will be no use or control and then no it would be a violation of the terms and condition, if there was some personal use well then it would meet the conditions If you have any further questions, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, Dylan, and I hope you have a great day.
This means that if you are not using this method for personal use on your OWN computer it is a violation of terms of service. For example: there is a feature in OS lion that allows you to drag and drop files from one computer with lion to another computer with lion. If you were to do that so you could store files on another family members computer (and then proceed to access them now and then) it is ok.

yes you would have to log onto her computer using your own apple id if you want it to update (assuming your id was the one downloading lion) and no for the second question. The itunes Representative said it shouldn't have any impact on your purchasing ability.....
By the way, i don't think you're allowed to install lion on your friend's computer. Unless you are using it for yourself. As the rep said "if there was some personal use well then it would meet the conditions." so if you were to transfer, say, pictures for storage on your friend's computer then i think it'd be fine.

I tried this on another laptop we have, a Dell D505. Notes is setup in what looks to be exactly the same way. Using the same ID file in the same location.
The Nokia Suite works perfectly with the this setup.
I compared the two registry entries for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus. Besides differences in dates, both keys are exactly the same. So we have two computers where the connection works perfectly, it picks up the server and then you can log into it with a password. The other system won't connect to the Notes server and you can't get anywhere.
Any help appreciated.

Multiple Computers and iPhone and iPods

I have 3 computers Desktop PC-XP at work, Laptop PC-Vista, and Desktop PC-XP at home. I also have an iPhone, 2 iPod touches (for each of my sons) and an iShuffle. I want to copy/share any music/video/apps with each device wherever i am. I have authorized my 3 computers and am having trouble syncing the iPod touches with my laptop.
Each time i connect my device it wants to erase everything and resync it to the current library on that machine. It greys out the apps on my iTouches and won't let me drag and drop them. I did this exact thing on my computer at work last week without any problems.
I also am having trouble syncing apps on my laptop - it worked fine when i copied apps from my iTunes at work and copied apps from my iPhone free/purchased to the iPods. I am unable to do this with my laptop.
Also when i sync my iPhone it reorders all my apps alphabeticaly that i have already organized by how i use them. Which is VERY frustrating.
Looking for a way to easily manage everything and can find great help videos and instructions for one computer and one device, or one computer and multiple devices. Multiple computers seems to be the issue.
If someone had some advice on how to handle this the best way i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!

You can sync/manage itunes content from ONE computer at a time. When you sync/manage to a different computer it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Try putting all of the content on one machine and sync to that machine.

WDS Across Multiple Offices with Multiple Computers

Im trying to set up WDS to deploy windows 7 pro across multiple computers. I work in a company that installs computers for dental offices. We have a master image and at the time to prep all computers we clone that image using Acronis. Is there a better
way to do this? Also will WDS allow me to deploy images to different types of PCs. Right now our image only works on newer computer but we constantly rebuild older PC's that get infected. Can I make a master Image that allows me to deploy it to any computer?
Lastly, could I do something to be able to deploy this into our offices, if so how? Would I need to set up all those servers?

Hi JDAM-00,
Are you trying to
create the universal image, which means .create a single image and deploy to multiple hardware. You were unable to create the universal image by sysprep tool it is not supported, but you can use MDT or WDS and inject drivers in the driver
store then it's possible to deploy the image.

Unable to initialize java vm

I'm developing standalone forms application on server-side (not to web) which will run locally on the server machine. That forms app will call a java class (imported through java importer) which will start some other procedures.
When running the forms app through forms builder everything seems to go just fine. When starting the forms app through bat file the execution crashes when calling the java-code through pl/sql. The error message I receive from ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR / ORA_JAVA.last_error is 'Unable to initialize java vm'.
Do I have to import also something else or configure some parameters to somewhere? Or maybe something else?

Ok, its strange because if i start the runtime from bat -file and set the systems path and classpath variables, so that they include all necessary stuff, before starting runtime the java vm could not be initialized.
Problem seems now to be solved. I had to load the jvm.dll (virtual machine) through pl/sql inside the forms app. That was done with ora_ffi.load_library -function. Rest of the process goes as described in multiple documents provoded by oracle.
Huh..

Adobe Edge, multiple computers

I am paying for Adobe Inspect on my account in order to have multiple devices running at once to inspect.
If I have it on multiple computers, i.e. Home and Work. If I log in to the application, does it work on more than one computer or do I have to use the same computer every time?
I have tried on my work network, I am on the same network on 2 different computers, one on a wirless network and one on a wired network, and can not get my IP to work. The devices is not connecting.
The application is running, the Chrome plug in is running, and the most recent update is on my devices and running.
When I try to enter my IP address, the devices is unable to connect.
I have Windows Firewall turned off, but of course we have McAfee, but McAfee has been turned on for a while now and it seems to have been working before. I checked the port 7682 using 'netstat' I get a cc: 7682. Does that mean the port is in use? or am I using it already?
Little confused.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

There is no limit to the number of computers you can have Edge Inspect installed on. With the paid version though, you can only be signed into one computer at a time to be able to use multiple devices. If you move from computer to computer and sign into each, there should be no problem using the currently signed-in computer with multiple devices.
The most likely explanation for your issue is the one you've already looked into, that either some other app is using port 7682 or that port 7682 is blocked. Try closing Chrome and running that netstat check again. If you still see the same thing, then some other application is using the port we need. Try closing all other open apps and then do your check again. You might even try starting windows in safe mode and see if the port is still in use.
The other possible that your work network is blocking communication across port 7682, especially if your computer & devices are on two different networks. Check with your IT dept on that.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions,
Mark
