New movies are not found when connecting to my camera

Hi,
I Use a Sony HDR XR550VE. After soem time of happy use of iMovie, it now no longer discovers new clips at import.
Hooking it up to iMovie and importing new clips has working fine in the beginning untill the point at which I deleted the camera's harddrive content (using the camera's commands), and started making a really long movie (over 6 hrs). THat did not import very well: half of it wasn't discovered via the iMovie import dialogue. Since then, new movies I've shot are not discovered anymore and can't be imported. Accessing the drive directly via the "Import films" option allows me to drill all the way down to the AVCHD-mts source file, but are displayed grayed out and can't be selected to be imported.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jeronias

Hi Jeronias,
Sorry to hear that things have gone a bit pear-shaped for you again.
You may have already tried this, but deleting iMovie's preference file sometimes helps when iMovie is not working as it should. The file can become corrupted in some circumstances, such as when iMovie quits unexpectedly or is "Force Quit".
Close iMovie then, in Finder, navigate to the file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist" in your User (Home)>Library>Preferences folder. Drag the .plist file to the Trash. When next opened iMovie will create a fresh file with the default settings, which you can change if desired in iMovie's menu item iMovie>Preferences.
Hopefully, that may get things back to normal.
I'm interested in the procedure you are using (or attempting to use) to import your video into iMovie. I have a similar camcorder, the Sony HDR-SR7, which records AVCHD video to a 60 Gb hard drive. Your model, of course, has a 240 GB hard drive and also records to Memory Stick and SD/SDHC cards.
When I connect my camera via USB and turn it on, a dialogue appears on the LCD touch screen. I then have to touch the hard drive icon in order for the camera to be recognized by my MacBook Pro. With iMovie open, it takes a couple of minutes (maybe less) before the import screen appears. Is this the way you normally go about importing your footage? Of course, you will have 2 import sources - the hard drive and/or a memory card.
Have you tried importing from a memory card using a card reader, rather than connecting the camera? If this works, then the import problem is isolated to the camera itself. I'm assuming that iMovie is not recognizing the hard drive nor the card when the camera is connected via USB.
So, in summary:
What process are you using to import from the camera?
Have you tried using a card reader?
Have you tried deleting the preference file?

    If i directly add the jar in my build path, then it is working fine and it is creating the required tables. But the problem is, I get the hold on jar file at runtime.
    Please help me with this.
    Here is my classloader class :-
    public class CustomURLClassLoader extends URLClassLoader
    private static CustomURLClassLoader URLCLASSLOADER = null;
    public CustomURLClassLoader(ClassLoader parent)
    super(new URL[0], parent);
    this.addAllJarsToClassPath();
    * This method adds all the jars in the specified dirs and sub dirs
    * recursively to the classpath. NOTE : Even though we use the term
    * 'classpath' technically URLs are added to a list of URLs to search for
    * classes and resources.
    * @param dirContainingJars
    * The directory containing jars
    * @throws Exception
    public void addJarsToClassPath() throws Exception
    super.addURL("URL of jar file");
    }

    I don't know about hibernate, but EclipseLink allows passing in the classloader to the factory when it gets created as Shaun describes at:

  • Page not found when connecting to server (if not logged in on server)

    Hi,
    When we try to connect to the presentation server (http://esddev02:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard) we get a page not found error if I don't open a remote desktop connection session on the server first.
    I suppose the problem originates in the fact that the installation of the software has been done with my credentials on the server.
    The windows services start with 'Local System' as logon but the OC4J seems to start only when I log on with my user.
    I don't see a reason for this as in the registry the OC4J start command is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    Changing this to "D:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\bin\oc4j.cmd -start& " did not change anything.
    Has somebody got a clue?
    Tx for any advice,
    Kris

    Hi,
    I checked further on this today. Problem is not solved yet. I need to find a way to start the OC4J server independent from my session on the server.
    Has anybody got some advice?
    Brgrds,
    Kris

  • JDBC Driver not found when connecting to Data Federator XI 3.0 SP3

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect Crystal 2008 to Data Federator however I am getting the Error
    Failed to open connection.
    Details: JDBC Driver not found.
    The JDBC Drivers are installed and working for the Universe Designer, however I am unable to get it working for Crystal. I am using the following connection parameters on Crystal:
    Connection URL: jdbc:datafederator://<<servername>>:3055/<<catalog>>
    Database Classname: com.businessobjects.datafederator.jdbc.DataFederatorDriver
    Any Advice on what I may have missed?

    The issue was solved, thanks to Patric Wan:
    u201CFailed to open the connection. Details: JDBC driver not found.u201D
    This means Data Federator JDBC driver was not added to:
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\<version>\java\CRConfig.xml
    How to connect the Data Federator Server using JDBC?
    1. Retrieve the following files from the machine where Data Federator is installed, from the directory [data-federator-installation-dir]/JdbcDriver/lib.
        - thindriver.jar
        - avalon-framework-4.1.5.jar
        - jacorb.jar
        - log4j-1.2.8.jar
        - logkit-1.2.jar
    2. Copy these files to a directory of your choice ([your-jdbc-driverdirectory]).
    3. Add [your-jdbc-driver-directory]/thindriver.jar to CRConfig.xml   <Add to Classpath tag, you can refer to original sample.CRConfig.xml should be at: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\CRConfig.xml, or search your BOBJ products install to find this file>

  • New Business Area Not Found

    I successfully created new business area in Administration Edition , but in desktop edition while creating a new file for same user, the available list remains empty. Please help me, I am new to this.
    Thanks
    DSD

    Hi DSD,
    It sounds like a security / privilege issue to me. You could try the following:
    1.) In Discoverer Admin can you confirm that the person and responsibility you are logging into Desktop with, has been given access to the Business Area in Tools>Security.
    2.) In Discoverer Admin could you also check in Tools>Privileges to ensure that that the Desktop user has ‘User Edition’ selected.
    3.) If you have more than one End User Layer (EUL) then it could be that you are logging into the wrong one. In Desktop click Tools>Options>EUL and ensure there aren’t more that two in the list. If there are select the correct one that you want to connect in as. Log out of Desktop and then back in again.
    For more information in Security and Privileges read one of Oracle Guides.

  • All files on new iPod are grayed out when connected and viewed in iTune 7.6

    I just bought a new 80GB iPod classic. I have been able to get everything loaded and it works fine (I have to get used to the new interface but that's OK). What is odd is that when I click on "music" on the now fully loaded iPod contents list of some 1,500 songs, all of then a grayed out and I cannot do any sort of renaming/re-arranging/deletion whatsoever. No doubt this is a simple setting that I am just not hip to. It did ask me to update to iPod software 1.1.1 when I put it in and I did.
    Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    Theo

    Sounds like your iPod is in auto-sync mode, which greys out the contents and won't let you change things. That's normal since you're expected to make such changes to your iTunes library and re-sync your iPod to capture the changes.
    If you want to manage the contents directly on the iPod, you need to select the option "Manually manage music and video", found on the general iPod summary when you connect to iTunes.

  • SWF movies are not animated when the file's opened directly.

    Firstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic!
    Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems.  Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation.  When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).
    When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
    Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected.  But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all.  If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static.  But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected.  Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
    I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens.  It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image.  Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?
    Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate help resolving this issue.

    Update:
    I downloaded the newest Flash Player and double clicked the problematic swf file again.  I was a bit surprised to see Flash CS5 start up and display the floating test window with the problematic static animation as before.  I closed Flash CS5, right clicked on the swf file and chose "Open With Flash Player".  The animation opened in the new Flash Player and was working fine.
    So it appears that only Flash CS5 and CS4 are having the issue playing the test movie that was created in the very same program?

    2) After restart OS i did not connect VPN and then run reports its running properly and not showing any error.
    I want the solution of 1st case. Please help me urgent.

    You need to put the IP address in the hosts file.
    Also verify if your Default Gateway at networking level is configured for the NIC. The Default Gateway information could be displayed executing 'netstat -anr'.
    Also check the network through nslookup.
    Is http service is running?
    How many network adapters are there?
    Has IP address changed?
    What's your operating system?

A MAP filed dialogue box appears when i try to change the datasource location to ado from odbc.

    There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
    There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.

    Previously when I typed a tag into the address bar - tagged bookmarks would show up. Now very rarely does this happen and instead search engine search terms show up.
    To search for tags/keywords I now have to open the bookmarks and do a search in there. Very inconvenient... it suks big time. WTF happened?
    Thanks Joe

    I think I am on the way to an answer. I turned off ALL add-ons and tags are now showing up in adress bar searches.
