My Sony AVCHD cam is no longer recognized when "logging and transferring"

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
I have some footage on a Sony HD cam.  When I connect it to the mac, the drive appears just fine.  When I go to "log and transfer" it no longer begins loading itself.  When I try to manually select the disk and open it, I get this - "(this drive)... contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
When I try this with my other identical Sony HD cam, it works just fine, like it always has. 
When I try to "repair image," it finds no problems.
The only difference between the two, is that the non-working one was plugged into a Windows machine to manually upload a couple MTS files to youtube.  No formatting was done.
How can I get my FCE to recognize my camera again? 
Thanks!

I FIGURED IT OUT!
I had manually deleted some videos via Finder but remnants of the files were still on the camera itself.  So, by looking in the STREAM folder, I could find where there were gaps, locate those files on the camera and then delete them.  Once these "ghost" files were gone, my camera popped up in the Log and Transfer window immediately.
Hallelujah.

  • My camera is no longer recognized by firefox and won't work in websites such as facebook etc. Is this because of a plug in? How do I restore origical settings?

    In both my gmail and facebook, firefox does not pick up/turn on my iSight camera when it should, saying there is no camera detected.

    I'm having the same problem... just got a new iPhone 3GS in addition to the older 3G model. I need to synch them both with home (music, photos, videos etc. master) and work computers (Contacts, Calendar master).
    This worked no problem on the older 3G model, the 3GS synched with my home computer but my work once I get the following message: "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this iPhone to its factory settings".

  • Log and Transfer not working with Sony AVCHD camera

    Hi, I have a new Sony AVCHD camera. The HDR-XR200 120GB hard drive model. It captures in 1920x1080i, and connects to Mac via USB.
    FCP does not recognize the camera when I open the log and transfer window.
    Can someone help me with seq setting and easy set up setting or other setting for it to work.
    I am happy to import footage into FCP with AIC or prores 422. Just want to edit all the footage I have of my so's international soccer tournament held in Australia last week. I also have Final Cut Express on my Mac if that works better. This is very frustrating trying to get it to work.
    Cheers
    Bryan

    I use a Panasonic AVCHD, which FCP doesn't recognise. Anyway I've spent months playing around because this little camera blows my Sony V1 out of the water in sheer quality.
    Best thing is just get hold of a copy of Toast 10, you can then simply drag your .mts files into this and encode to whatever you want, I edit in pro res LT, but Toast will even encode it to HDV if you want to end up on tape(Even this result still blows the Sony HDV apart)
    FCP is very fussy about even noticing the very existance of .mts files, so I wouldn't waste my time, scratching my head.
    By the way, I use Firewire 800 drives, not USB 2 and also in the name of God BACK UP YOUR MTS FILES ON A NEW HARD DISC CALLED "BACKUP OF .MTS FILES!" LOL

  • Does Final Cut Pro X import AC3 sound from an SONY AVCHD  Camera?

    Hi
    I have a Sony AVCHD camera HDR-XR200.
    I have been using Vegas Platinum in a PC. Surround sound 5.1 is supported.
    I purchased FCPX for its "64 bit processing. better use of cores and threads, and 5.1 sound (which iMovie does not support).
    However, when I use FCPX to import from the camera, i only get stereo  channels.
    I have set the properties to 5.1 sound.
    Can anyone shed light on why this does not work?
    Thanks
    Barry

    Thanks Daniel for the reply and the URL.
    I have sent the following to the Apple Feedback site.
    "I have FCPX which claims to support AVCHD and Surround Sound AC3.
    When I import toFCPX from my HDR-XR200 handicam, the audio is down mixed to stereo. I cannot get the 5.1 sound recorded in the camera to accompany the video.
    Is this advertised feature missing, is this a bug or should I be doing something that is not immediately apparent to the application."
    It seems that many of us who have great expectations for FCPX whould like some feedback from Apple.

  • My mac is no longer recognizing my phone and I cannot manage the music on my phone. What can I do?

    My mac is no longer recognizing my phone and I can no longer manage my music. How can I change this? I cannot upload IOS 7 because I have too much music on my phone and not enough space, but I cannot delete music on my phone because my computer will not recognize my phone.

    Hello Salmomma,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac.  I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

  • New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

    New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.  Is there a fix?  Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

    I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
    Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

  • Logged and Transfered AVCHD footage has dropped frames or appears jerky.

    Hey I just got off the phone after 2 hours with Apple care which offered no answers to this issue. My co worker is able to log and transfer without problem on his computer from my "Sony HDR CX12" AVCHD Full 1080. But both of my machines no go. I re-installed OS X 10.5.7 and all applications including FCP 6.0.6 and discovered that if you have QUICKTIME or iLife apps (i.e. iMovie, iPhoto etc... open then your doomed!!!! Dropped frames for sure on logged and transfered AVCHD footage.
    I called back Apple Care and they are attempted to recreate the same system set up as I had to verify that iLife 2009 is screwing up FCP 6.0.6
    I've found some other work arounds if you are having this problem. Please let me know since my case is still open with Apple Care and I would like to be able to mention that others are having issue with this.

    This is one weird post. I don't understand what you are babbling about.
    I re-installed OS X 10.5.7 and all applications including FCP 6.0.6 and discovered that if you have QUICKTIME or iLife apps (i.e. iMovie, iPhoto etc... open then your doomed!!!!
    COMPLETELY wrong. That couldn't be more wrong. Quicktime is the basic engine of FCP...it captures all footage as QT files. Without QT FCP would not function. And of course it works with iMovie and iPhoto installed...those are basic Apple applications. I have those on all my machines that have FCP and have had zero issues. Well, the issues you have are NOT related to having those applications installed. That is silly talk.
    Now...when you import AVCHD footage, you have the choice on what CODEC you can use when you import. Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) or ProRes. AIC is nice and light, and can be played back on a firewire drive, but lack essential things like TIMECODE...and the quality isn't all that great. ProRes on the other hand is great quality and has timecode, but has a high data rate. A firewire 400 drive will not work...firewire 800 might, but raided firewire 800 like a G-Raid would be advisable. eSATA drives or internal SATA drives all the better.
    iLife 09 is not screwing up FCP 6.0.6. I have iLife 09 and FCP 6.0.6 and have zero issues. most people do.

    Try this:
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Long delay when logging in Network User

    Hello,
    We are running into a weird problem.
    We have an XServe G5 2.0 GHz DP with 5 GB RAM, providing multiple services to a small school.
    The Users have Network-based accounts, and are authenticated via OD on the same server.
    Lately, Users have started experiencing a very long delay when logging in.
    At the login prompt, if they input the wrong password, they get "the shake" right away, which indicates that the authentication speed is rather fast. If they do input the right credentials, nothing happens for 25 - 30 seconds, and then login proceeds as usual, fairly quickly. The machines are normally responsive from there on, i.e. it is not a network performance issue. Also, even if no one is on the server, the first one to log in runs into the same issue, i.e. it is not a server overload issue. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Any suggestions for a solution will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Alain Chammas

    Hi
    This could be down to a time sync issue. Are Server and Clients all using the same Network Time Server? Do you see a similar delay when presenting the login window displaying a list of network users? If you did not know this is a computer list mananged preference. Anything unusual in the system.log?
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Why Doesn't Premiere Elements 12 Recognize My Sony AVCHD Camera?

    This is my first attempt at using Premiere Elements 12.  Unfortunately, it is not recognizing my Sony HDR AVCHD format camera.  It uses a san disk.  I get a message "No supported devices detected".  It does find the jpg photos, though.
    So I directly loaded the MTS files onto my iMac and created a DVD.  It looked pretty good, but not as good as playing the camera directly on a TV.  I found something on another Adobe site that indicated if there were problems with Premiere reading from the card that the files could be loaded to the hard drive.  It said "Be sure to copy the entire file structure of the card instead if just the clips".  I'm not sure what that means.  All I did was download the MTS files.
    So I really have 2 questions here -
    1 - why doesn't Premiere recognize my camera
    2- Is there something on the san card I missed downloading that could improve the quality of the DVD being created?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply and your additional comments and results.
    I think that we need to make distinctions between Quality (how good or bad the results looks or sounds to you) and Resolution (Frame Size, Display Size). Often the two can go side by side.
    What you are seeing at the camera level is 1080i which is interlaced video at 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second. What you are seeing when you play back your finished DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is based on 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (if standard 4:3) and 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second accompanied by a 16:9 flag to stretch the 720 x 480 to 856 x 480 for display after encoding. Another factor is what the TV or computer player is doing to your interlaced video for viewing purposes - deinterlacing or not and with what method. Some TV's come with technology to enhance the DVD-VIDEO display. Most TVs larger than 32 to 42 in tend to show the differences between higher and lower resolution more readily.
    Since you have interlaced video source, each frame has two fields, with either Upper or Lower Field First. Your source probably is interlaced video with Upper Field First. Consequently, in the project, you may have to adjust that to Lower Field First if your destination is DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc which is characterized by Field Order Lower Field First. Something to look into for the "better" aspects considerations.
    Now if you decide to take your Timeline content to AVCHD format on DVD disc, note that the format of AVCHD format on DVD disc is different from that of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (Instead of OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS Folder, you have the BDMV Folder). Your AVCHD on DVD disc will have resolution (Frame Size, Display Size) of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Under these circumstances, the capacity of the DVD disc can become a problem with larger projects. When you burn your Timeline content to AVCHD format on DVD disc, what is on the disc will be an 29.97 interlaced frames per second characterized by Upper Field First. So, if your interlaced source and the destination product both use Field Order Upper Field First, then no need for Field Options adjusts. However you do have one opportunity for a progressive frame rate for the AVCHD on DVD. It is not 29.97, rather 24. See Presets = H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby in the AVCHD on DVD set up in Publish+Share/Disc AVCHD disc.
    I have generated some very great looking DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc (standard and widescreen) and have been very pleased with the results and how my viewers received them. The thought is getting the best possible DVD-VIDEO on DVD and enjoying it without laboring on how it might have looked as Blu-ray or AVCHD if you do not have Blu-ray and do not have a player for AVCHD on DVD disc.
    If you need clarification on any of the above, please let me know.
    Thanks.

    Add On...In post 3 marked in reply to me you wrote
    "On a side note, however, I'm not sure I agree with the statement that going to standard def would lose a lot of video quality"
    I did not write that in any of my posts to you. That is why I have gone through the detailed account to qualify that statement from wherever it came.

  • IPhone no longer recognized by ITunes, and Service is not starting

    Hi
    My IPhone is no longer recognized by ITunes. I already tried the steps on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495, but had no luck, and I also tried to remove all relevant Apple software and reinstall, but this did not result in anything either.
    Now, also, if I start up ITunes, it tells me, that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" is not running. Trying to start this service by hand, did not work. Following the rules on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 did not work.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, my ITunes version is 9.0.3.
    This is my third PC in this household this has happened (i switched the PCs after it appeared on my other PCs), and I am simply not willing to do that again.
    Please, if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.
    cheers, Roland

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 as a last ditch effort but if it has been recognized by computer before and you did everything in HT1923 and TS1495 then i would say like msconfig stuff or disk cleanup and such.. it would be worth it to contact apple tech support if HT1923, TS1495 and HT2553 doesn't work.
