New Mac Mini + reinstalled FCE4 = no capture from my Canon HV10?

I used to have an iMac 24" with FCE4, and then I switched to a 2010 Mac Mini 2.4GHz 4GB and reinstalled FCE4.
I don't remember exactly what the menu options looked like for capturing in the past, but I do recall it was dead simple. I would select some sort of Capture menu item and it would start my firewire-connected Canon HV10 playing and capturing (while showing a 0-1sec delayed preview of what was being captured.
Now I have two capture menu entries: Capture Project..., and Capture... . Capture Project doesn't work (it errors about selection error, batch capture, no sequence), and Capture pops up this big window that I never recall seeing before along with an error: "Capture Preset must have a video or an audio digitizer set to capture. Please change to desired preset in the Audio/Video Settings." I'm not even sure where the Audio/Video settings are; they don't appear to be in User Preferences, System Settings, or Easy Setup. And incidentally, I have my Easy Setup set to AVCHD 1440x1080i60, which I believe is correct for my video camera.
I have confirmed that my machine sees the camera device in the Firewire list:
HV10:
Manufacturer: Canon
Model: 0x10
GUID: 0x85000124CAFB
Maximum Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec
Connection Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec
Sub-units:
HV10 Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x10001
Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the fast and correct solution! I don't know why I got the setup wrong this time, or for that matter why I got it right on my previous install
Now that I have configured my Easy Setup the way you described, my capture works just as it did before.
Thanks!

Brand new Mac mini ONLY displays when waking from sleep

Have an unusual problem.
Brand new 2011 Mac mini. Turn it on, and I do not get the grey Apple logo screen or normal spinning cog. Light comes on as normal, and chime chimes as normal. I've tried three different monitors now and I never get a display, unless I put the mini to sleep with the power button in back, then wake it with a keyboard key stroke, the display turns on and works as normal.
As of 20 Sep 2011, I've got all the software and EFI updates installed. I've also reset the PMU, SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM to no avail.
Thanks.

Yes, sure did. Tried different cables and Thunderbolt to video adapters. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm using VGA. Originally tried it about a week ago with DVI and it worked ok. The problem is the monitor we're using in our classroom doesn't support DVI or HDMI.

New Mac Mini HD Icon missing.

Took delivery of my new Mac Mini 2.26/160 yesterday from PC World Business (UK) they fitted a Crutial 4 Gig RAM Upgrade. Their tech's made a right mess of the edges of the underside where they tried to prize it open with a screwdriver. They gave me the original strips of RAM.
The Mac Mini works OK, but the HD Icon is missing.
I have downloaded the updates to 10.6.1, etc. I have repaired permissions, verified the HD, admittedly mounted.
I searched for a similar issue, not finding one I ask, what is the solution?
As a work around I can access the HD via the waste basket, but that is hardly a solution! If I insert a DVD that comes up, if I mount an external HD that comes up.
Any comments on the marks on the case, regarding possible warranty claims?

Thank you, it was brief enjoyment. I just about got it set up as I wanted it. Wednesday evening as I was browsing the internet with the Mac Mini, and re-formatting the HD's of my G5 ready for eBay, the new Mac Mini died on me, less than a week old.
Returned to seller, they confirmed it was dead. I should take delivery of another new unit tomorrow, (Monday). I have lent the technician a paint scraper, so he can fit the new RAM without marking the bottom this time...
Second time lucky hopefully. It could have been the power supply? I will probably never know.

How best to restore iPhoto library to new Mac mini

So I have a brand new Mac Mini and my iPhoto library from my old iMac is backed both on Time Machine and via CCC on different external HDs. I want to transfer my iPhoto library(>200 GB) to the new Mini. Is there any reason to restore from Time Machine versus CCC? Are there advantages to using one versus the other? I would like to keep my events, albums, etc. if possible. I made the CCC backup just to have an extra backup.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

You can use the one you prefer because it's the same. With Carbon Copy Cloner, you just need to go to the folder of the external disk with the library and copy the library to Pictures folder, and with Time Machine, you can use Time Machine UI to restore the iPhoto library

New Mac Mini - How do i reinstall my copy of Mountain LIon from App Store?

Hi All:
I just bought a new Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. I want to clone an older system drive that had been running Snow Leopard onto my new Mini and then upgrade to Mountain Lion (I tried Migration Assistant first, but it didn't work correctly and I don't want to mess with it again).
My question: once I have a working Snow Leopard install on my Mini, is it possible to upgrade back to the Mountain Lion OS it came with without paying for a new copy? How do I do that?
Thanks!

It isn't just the hard drive - there is firmware built in that will prevent you from booting wih Snow Leopard. If you do a search here, you'll find many threads trying to install an earlier OS than what the machine came with all with the same answer (unless the Mac was built right around the time of a new OS being introduced, then it is possible to be booted from both OS's). In this case, you'd be trying to go backwards by 2 versions. Also see here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186?viewlocale=en_US
And yes, if you use internet recovery and first erase the drive (available in Disk Utility within the recovery partition) and then reinstall the OS, it'll reinstall the OS on a blank drive and you can start over. If the machine is new, then Command + R during restart should automatically boot into internet recovery (connecting you to Apple's servers by showing a spinning globe while connecting); if the machine is a bit older, then Command + Option + R will boot into internet recovery.

I'm attempting to transfer files, address book, etc from an external hard drive to my new Mac-mini using migration assistant. The external drive is showing up on my desktop but Migration Assistant is not seeing the drive when searching for devices

I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant. I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop

I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it. After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot. I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK. I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD. I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents. It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done. I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.

How to transfer Apps from PB G4 OS 10.4.11 to New Mac mini 1.83 Ghz Leopard

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this question has previously been posted. I tried searching the forums but was unsuccessful. I just purchased a new Mac mini 1.83 Ghz with Leopard.
*How can I transfer my files and applications from my powerbook G4 to the new mac mini.*
I'd like to transfer all my files and folders except for Tiger OS, and then reformat my PB G4 and sell it.
In the past I used CCC Carbon Copy Cloner, however I'm assuming that won't work in this situation.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

If your new mini is an Intel based system, then for the most part you really don't want to transfer your applications from the G4 PB to it, because at least some of your applications are going to be PPC software which is not native on the Intel system and therefore will run very slowly. Ideally, you would reinstall your software from disk or download, ensuring that were possible you replace non-native versions with fully Intel native (often described as 'Universal').
However, to answer your question, put the G4 PB into firewire target disk mode if it is capable of it (hold the T key down while booting it - a firewire symbol will appear on-screen if it can do this). Then connect it to the mini with a standard 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable. Then on the mini, run the Migration Assistant (in Applications>Utilities) and follow the prompts. The system will then be able to see the PB as an external drive and allow you to migrate files, applications and settings.
Beware though that there can be issues because not only are you migrating from a G4 system to an Intel one, but also from Tiger to Leopard, meaning that you might find some software doesn't run correctly, or settings may cause instabilities.
Typically the best bet is to migrate your files using the migration assistant, but manually install software and set all the various configurations.
You're certainly right that you can't use CCC in this situation!!

New Mac mini audio problem - beeping from audio output

Hi Apple fans
Please help me. I recently purchased a new Mac mini from my local store. It's three-and-a-half weeks old as of today.
It's an i5 2.3 with 8 GB of corsair RAM.
I like to watch movies and TV on it and have the audio connected to an external amp and speakers via the headphone output.
After a reboot today I lost the sound through that output. All that I hear through it now is an electronic beeping, six notes, descending in pitch, repeating.
I have no idea what it is, other than annoying since this happened on a brand new computer. Not looking forward to the idea of losing my mini for a week as Apple figure it out, but it may be all that's left to do.
Maybe somebody here can help me out - anyone have an idea what's going on? I did an fsck -fy already, and there seems to be nothing wrong, based on that check. For completeness sake, I ran the sound over a USB sound card, and the beeping noise was not there, and sound worked fine. Ditto for the internal speaker - no weird noise there, this seems limited to the headphone out port. I've tried different cables, and even amps, and a set of small speakers without amp. The noise is there when using the headphone jack, and it's absent when using the wee internal speaker or USB-based sound. Please help?
I captured the sound on a video which I've uploaded. It's kind of jarring, so keep your hand on the volume button.

Hi Pascal,
Certainly strange, but I have no ideas other than having it looked at by Apple.

BEST METHOD OF DIGITIZING FROM DV DECK TO NEW MAC MINI

Hi and thanks for the help. I've got a brand new mac mini on the way and I've been using a JVC SRDVM600 player/recorder as my mini DV source machine to digitize to my old mini through its 4 pin IEEE 1394 firewire port. Now the new mini has firewire 800, Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 ports. For digitizing/capturing from the JVC is there any quality difference between the 3 ports since the source is the 4 pin DV firewire and I'll need adaptors to get the media into the mini no matter which port I use? This will be for editing with fcpx.

Exactly, the speed will be the same no matter what cables you use. The Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter was created for people who have Firewire devices that need to connect to a newer computer with Thunderbolt and no Firewire ports. Speed is always based on the slowest connection, even though Thunderbolt is rated at 10 Mbs, the fastest it can go is .8 Mbs dictated by the Firewire connection from the deck.
I have a MacBook Pro mid-2011 that has both Thunderbolt and Firewire 800 ports, so luckily I don't need the Thunderbolt adapter. I also have three external Firewire 800 drives that I always plug into the Firewire port. But, recently I bought a Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt adapter that will take any eSata drive. I removed my external drives from their Firewire enclosures so that I could plug them into the GoFlex adapter to get the Thunderbolt speed, or at least as fast as the eSata would allow, 6 Mbs.

New MAC Mini w/OSX Lion - will not boot from USB or external optical drive when attempting to use BootCamp to install Windows 7?

The University recently purchased 6 brand new MAC minis for deployment in classrooms I support. I am attempting to create a dualk--boot environment comparable to our existing computer systems, only these machines wil be running MAC OS X Lion and Windows 7. After following the procedures outlined in the BootCamp on-screen prompts, and attempting a few techniques I found in the tech support user-base, I am still unable to get the MAC mini to boot up from the USB flash drive, or from an external optical drive, so that I can complete the installation of Windows 7. When using the Boot option key at start-up, all devices are displayed suggesting that they are being properly recognized, however the computer boots to a black screen with an error message indicating that "No bootable devices are found - press any key to continue." I am able to boot into the computer's internal drive, but not from any external devices. I fully expected that the semi-automated BootCamp procedure properly prepares the USB device for booting, and for installing the Windows 7 OS.

Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.

I have a new Mac mini and are using an Acer monitor. Unfortunately, the Acer will not show any image on a startup from cold. It does however work completely correctly when restarting from 'sleep' condition. Can anyone help? Thanks in anticipation.

I have a new Mac mini- changed from Windows XP. I have a peculiar problem. I use an Acer monitorwith the Mac which works fine when the Mac is 'un-sleeped'. But, if I have shutdown the Mac the Acer does not recognisethe start up - at least it shows nothing on screen. When I have shut down - nowknowing the problem, I use an old Samsung monitor to cope with the start up -it does so fine - and then put the Mac to 'sleep', then change monitors andrestart the Mac - the Acer is now fine. I am using the same cables for theSamsung and the Acer. The Acer had no problems with my old Windows system -from sleep or shut down. I really do not think there is anything wrong with theAcer - could it be some sort of recognition problem? Please can anyone assist.Donald Picton

I posted the same question a day ago with no response. I'm using an Acer x193w. You actually don't have to switch monitors to get it to work. Just make sure you turn off the monitor after shutting down the Mac mini (actually push the power button on the monitor, not just let it go to sleep). If you turn on the monitor (push the power button on the monitor), then power up the Mac mini, the monitor is recognized. The issue didnt exist with Snow Leopard for me. It only started after I started using Lion. Hope this issue gets fixed In a future OS update.

I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?

Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How can i sync my iTunes library from my iPhone with my new mac mini

Recently my hard drive failed on my mac mini. I had burned a bunch of CDs on the old mac mini and then sync'd it with my iphone. Now the CDs are on my iphone but not on the new mac mini. How can I sync my itunes library from my iphone to my new mac mini?

The iphone is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from the backup copy of your computer computer to your new one.

I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?

Doggiemommie,
Copying files is not a good idea.
The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
Hope this explains.
