My FCP Doesn't See My VGA :(

i connected my Panasonic With a Composite RGB to VGA to a VGA>DVI converter and my final cut doesn't recognize it as a playback device , even though my machine does, any suggestions? all i see in my "Audio/Video Setting>A/V Devices" is my Digital Desktop Prevew - Main wich i think is my Cinema Display can anybody help me please? Thanks!

It's not fun having to pull information out of posters who come here asking for help.
Which VCR are you using?
The Panasonic monitor is intended to connect to the output of your VCR, or to the output of a capture card. It has SD/HD SDI, composite video, component video, and S-Video. You need to have one of those outputs on your VCR or capture card.
You will NOT be connecting that monitor directly to your MacPro, or using it in Cinema Desktop mode.

FCP doesn't see my Panasonic TM-900.

Tried swapping cables and used another TM-900 (looking for a physical connection problem). When turning on camera the camera import box flickers briefly. Any ideas?

If you copy the footage on the Camera's internal memory to the SD card, FinalCut will recognise the video files.
HOW TO:
- First turn on your camera (and don't plug into the computer)
- Move the slider on the camera to playback mode (the one where you can watch footage you've recorded)
- Use the white arrows on the bottom-left of the screen to find "MENU" and then select "Copy"
- Select the 'Internal Mem to SD Card' option (i.e. the picture of Cam Memory with a arrow pointing to an SD Card)
- Follow the prompts and then the files will copy over
- Once complete, turn off the camera and put the SD card into your Mac's Card slot
- Boot up FinalCut, select "Import from camera" and the files on the SD card should show up
That's the work around I found for getting 1080/50p footage from my Panasonic PAL HDC TM900 into FinalCut.
Best thing I find is to record straight to the SD card in the first place, which saves the copying over phase.
This worked for me, hope it helps

Mac Pro doesn't see third monitor

Guys:
My Mac Pro doesn't see all three of the monitors that I have hooked up...what am I doing wrong?
I previously came to you for your expert advice about video cards...I went and upgraded my Radeon 4870 which was running two monitors (Eizo and NEC) to a ATI Radeon 5870 in order to run three monitors (my new Cintiq)
When the Cintiq was not hooked up yet, the Mac saw the Eizo and NEC. When I connected the Cintiq...the Cintiq and the NEC show up but not the Eizo.
I went and upgraded the video card so I could run all three monitors because I didn't want to plug and unplug the Cintiq whenever I needed it. I believe I did my due diligence as far as research was concerned to ensure this would all work together...I'll be pretty bummed if this configuration can't do three monitors not to mention the financial cost.
Any help would be appreciated...as always.
Thanks!

I read your links, if I understand correctly, it may work with Dual Link DVI adapters?
My monitor connections are:
Eizo: DVI with the cord that came with the monitor (unsure if DVI single or dual link)
NEC: VGA to mini display
Cintiq: DVI to mini display (think it is a single link DVI)
Thanks!...so what do I need to go buy?
Here's a partial answer (need more info to answer about single vs. dual link, more about that later).
In the Mac Pro (Mid 2010)... document I referenced above there's a key note:
Note: The Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor and Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor are considered active adaptors.
So if you get the apple mini-displayport to VGA adaptor that will count as one of the active adaptors. I use one of those incidentially but I am not sure but it may be that all mini-displayport to VGA adaptors are consider "active".
Now for the single vs. dual link DVI question. It depends on the max resolution of those monitors (or the max you want to run them at). Single link DVI has a max resolution of 1920 x 1200, while dual link DVI can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600. So that's why I cannot answer this part of your question (you didn't specify the max resolution). If you only need single link active adaptors they will certainly be a lot cheaper than dual link.
Also note, you should only need two active adaptors on the card to support 3 monitors. So only one of the remaining connections needs to be an active adaptor. The other can be passive (much cheaper).

MB doesn't see external display

I have attached an external VGA display to my MB running 10.5.6. I have purchased the Apple miniport to VGA adaptor for this purpose.
The MB System Preferences/Display doesn't see it at all. I have tried two different displays, both of which work with a PC. I have tried various combinations of turning devices on and off and unplugging the connector.
I am obviously doing something wrong - any suggestions would be welcome.
PS It would be useful to be able to test the miniport without the adaptor - what is it actually designed to connect to?

Can't connect my ipod toch to itunes!!! It doesn't see it! I use windows 8, don't know if that's the problem. Anyways, my ipod is stuck! Every time I open it, it stays stuck with the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing towards an itunes icon. but whatever I do, my computer doesn't see it, and neither does itunes. What to do???!!!

The the remaining items of the following, you may have to let the battery fully drain.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
Thanks for any help!
OS X 10.8.5
Canon 8800F Scanner
TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
Thanks again for your assistance! William

I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

Look for a page that has a similar layout:
The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work. Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
Thanks in advance for any help.
--Jeff

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

ITunes 9.2.1 doesn't see my iPhone 3G 4.0 on Windows 7 x64

Hi everyone. I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have been having this problem since I updated my iTunes to 9.2. The problem is I plug my phone in, and iTunes doesn't see it. After plugging it in, iTunes seems to struggle a bit, lags, before finally running smoothly again. The phone doesn't appear in iTunes, though my computer detects it and I can browse the photos like I always could. Any help is appreciated!

yup same here
its a crapshoot, sometimes it happens other times it does not
only way round this i found is to do this:
reboot windows
and reboot iphone
eventually they will see each other.
what causes it? poorly coded itunes for windows, who knows.
but its something i've had for many versions now, 9.2.1 is nothing new. but it does seem to happen more now.

Itunes 10.6 doesn't see my ipad, ipod, or iphone

I reinstalled 10.6 and it worked once and now it doesn't see them again.I rebooted and it still doesn't recognize my iPad. I googled this question and this problem seems common but I haven't heard of one permanent solution. I am about to lose MobileMe, so the only way I will be able to sync is through itunes. Please tell me there is a solution. Thanks.

Do they have airdrop enabled?

ITunes doesn't see PSE7 images

I had Photoshop Elements 8 installed, and iTunes could see those photos just fine. But then my trial expired, so I had to uninstall and use PSE7. The problem is that iTunes no longer sees my PSE7 catalog and instead sees the PSE8 catalog as it was before it was uninstalled. I managed to track down where iTunes apparantly copied the PSE8 catalog and deleted it, but now iTunes doesn't see any PSE catalogs at all.
Of course there is the option to sync with individual folders, but I'd rather not do that since PSE keeps them nice and organized, and iPod Touch doesn't show the folders within subfolders of the selected folder for photo syncing. So, how can I get iTunes to pick up my PSE7 catalog again?

I had something similar (if not the same) happen. I was going to transfer some new shows from iTunes on my laptop into my iPod. The msg I get from iTunes: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "(iPod'S name)". Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings." The best part....my iPod's empty! I don't know what happened but I tried to connect it to my work PC and it read the same. I can reload my iPod with songs/shows. That's not an issue BUT I'd like to know what may have caused this and how do I know it won't happen again?

Updated to Itunes 7.0.1, doesn't see my ipod via USB1.1!!

Hi
My itunes/ipod were running fine under USB 1.1 (older computer) until I updated to 7.0.1 - now itunes doesn't see my ipod!! The iPod shows up in device manager, though, and my machine even mapped a drive to it when iTunes timed out (I removed that).
Everything was fine until I updated. sigh.
I found an Apple page that said they don't "support' USB 1.1 - could it be that iTunes 7.0.1 just doesn't?
thanks in advance for any help!

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Frozen in "Do Not Disconnect" iTunes doesn't see iPod

I have never had one bit of trouble with my iPod until today. I plugged it in, the Do Not Disconnect comes up, the clock is frozen, no charging happening and iTunes doesn't see the iPod. I tried the "restart" and nothing is working. What do I do?
I haven't upgraded to iTunes 8.1 yet, would that help?
HELP!

OK, so I tried the Reset again. Still didn't work. THEN I saw this:
Tip:
+If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.+
Tried it again and now it's all better.
