No data from device?

i'm working on a huge project in which i have to use many different videos, vhs, video8, dv and more. i use several devices to digitalize the analog stuff, f.e. a canopus advc 300 and a sony dcr-trv460e.
i've done this quite often, but now i have a problem i've never had before.
when i try to import footage from the sony dcr-trv 460e - connected via firewire - fcpx says "no data from device". i can watch the video in the preview, i can control the handycam (start, stop, pause), but fcpx won't import the footage, not a second, when i click on "import".
i'm able to import the footage in quicktime, even in imovie, but not in fcpx.
what's weird is, that i tried to import videos i already imported with fcpx some time ago, it worked then, but not now, very strange.
has apple made some changes in fcpx that make it impossible to import the old stuff? any idea how i could solve my problem?
2nd best would be to import the footage with imovie and then import the files in fcpx.
3rd best to import with quicktime…

so i'm confused now. does the sony dcr-trv not send a timecode? maybe, and this will explain the troubles. but on the other hand i imported successfully some footage with exact this device.
maybe i used the canopus then to correct the timebase, i can't remember how i did it. but this would mean i have to accept loss of quality, since i have to connect the sony with s-vhs with the canopus and convert it.
right now i'm importing a tape with imovie and will have a look how the result is, but as far as i remember, the audio has to be re-rendered when importing in fcpx…
My finger is pointing to a Timecode issue.
Is timecode enabled in the camera?
Is it continuous on the tape?

"no data from device" when trying to capture HDV

I need to capture additional footage for an HDV project I am already editing. Capturing the initial footage (about a month ago) went smoothly. Now however, when trying to capture footage from a new tape shot just last week, I simply cannot. If I try to Capture Now, I get a "No Data from Device" message and the capture attempt aborts. If I log some clips and Batch Capture, the material cues and begins to play but the capture window just continues to say CUEING SOURCE MATERIAL and captures nothing. I am using the Sony HVR-M10U deck as a capture device.
The only thing that has changed between the original capture and this latest attempt is that I have also been working on a DV project at the same time, and I used the M10U to capture some DV footage for that project. In order to succesfully capture DV footage I had to force the deck to play only DV (by changing the VCR settings in the menu).
To try and capture this latest HDV footage, I went back into the menu and forced the deck to play HDV only. In searching for answers I came across this Apple article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302407) and followed those exact steps.
However, nothing seems to work. I do have device control and the timecode is being read off the deck in Log & Capture (so the firewire connection is fine), but there's no video in the preview window and no capturing is possible. I am able to open my DV project, reset the menu on the deck, and capture DV footage - but I can't for the life of me switch to capturing HDV footage.
Any bright ideas would be much appreciated - I'm really at wits end.
thanks,
Tom

I am having a similar problem with my sony HVRZ1U, I can capture dv through firewire no problem but when I choose easy setup for HDV it does not recognize the device.
Funny thing is I tried to download clips on a pc in Premiere with all the similar settings on my camera and it works fine, I have deck control and can capture HDV footage, so that rules out a problem with the camera. Back to FCP5 with the same settings and nothing.
Went through uninstalling quicktime 7.03 back to 7.01 - nothing
Deleted the preferences in FCP5 - nothing
Checked the firewire connections and cables - they work fine
Using all the right settings on the camera and in FCP5
The tape format was shot correctly
Any light on what could be going wrong would be very very much appreciated

I'm getting a "No Data From Device" error for older video import

I'm trying to create digital video archives of some older (Hi-8) tapes before they turn to dust. I've got a Sony deck with iLink and have been using iMovie, which is time consuming but error free. I want to use the "Create Camera Archives" feature in FCP X, but am not able to import any video. FCP recognizes the deck, lets me control it and displays video in the capture window. But it does not capture anything - camera archives are empty and when I try to import the video I get a "No Data from Device" message over the import window, as the video is playing in the background. I thought it might be an issue of import settings... but I can't find any to change.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure all your settings are correct for capture and playback. Also make sure that the settings on the deck are the same as well. I know I had an issue when my Sony FX1 HDV camera was set to DV, FCP gave a similar error message.

I can capture with iMovie 6, but not with FCP 6.0 ('no data from device')

I didn't have any problem with FCP 5, but am getting nowhere with FCP 6 using the same settings (I think). FCP seems to see the camcorder, but can't control it and, even if I manually start the camera, reports 'no data from device' when I do a 'Capture Now'. Device control isn't critical, but I'd sure like to find out why it doesn't see the data stream from the camera (Sony HDR-HC7 / FW400). I must be missing a setting some place, but sure can't find it. On the other hand, I have full device control and zero dropout capture with iMovie (exact same hardware configuration). Any ideas?

"No Data from Device" error message

Hi folks!
I'm importing HD footage from my Sony M10U. I've used the "HDV 1080i60 Easy Setup" for my audio/video settings. I can control the device and even log clips, but I cannot batch capture the clips or "capture now". When I do a batch capture, it plays right through like there's no in or out points. When I do a "capture now" an error message comes up saying "No Data from Device, capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data from device. Check your connections and that the deck is playing."
I know the deck is playing and that the connections are fine because I can import DV footage. But when I switch to HD, I don't even get a preview in the log and capture window.
I've read other posts similar to this, but never got a concrete answer. Somebody please help me! I'm working against a deadline! (Like everyone else, right?)
Thanks in advance you MAC gurus!
Katie

Make sure all your settings are correct for capture and playback. Also make sure that the settings on the deck are the same as well. I know I had an issue when my Sony FX1 HDV camera was set to DV, FCP gave a similar error message.

Keine Daten vom Gerät / No Data from Device in iMovie (2013)

Hello guys!
I use a Sony DCR-TRV 110E Camcorder to backup old video tapes. I connect the camera over firewire to my Macbok Pro 15" late 2011.
iMovie shows the camera in the import windows - i also can navigate through the material directly from iMovie and watch my tapes, but when i click on "import", the video starts and i see the message "No Data from Device". Wenn I stopp "recording", there are no data in my mediathek.
Does anyone knows whats going on there?
Thank you for help!
Hallo ihr Lieben!
Ich benutze eine Sony DCR-TRV 110E und möchte damit meine alten Videokassetten sichern. Ich benutze ein 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2011).
In iMovie kann ich problemlos die Kamera auswählen, sogar über iMovie steuern und den Film schauen, nur wenn ich aufnehmen will steht da die Meldung "Keine Daten vom Gerät" und es wird nichts aufgenommen.
Kann mir bitte jemand helfen was da zu tun ist?
Besten Dank!

I just downloaded iMovie 10.0.1 onto a Macbook Pro running OSX. I have the exact same problem with the "no data from device" message.
I recently purchased a Sony TRV720 Handycam because of the pass through capability for transferring my old analog Hi8 tapes to Digital. I connect the camera through a FireWire connection and it is recognized by iMovie. When I hit the import button, I can see the video playing in the window, but the message "no data from device appears". The video quality in the iMovie viewing window is not as clean as on the camcorder itself.
I tried connecting, reconnecting, different tapes, different setting, all with no luck. In order to test the cable connection, I plugged the same cable into my Sony DCR101, which plays miniDV tapes. This worked perfectly, loading the video files onto iMovie on the first try.
I have no idea what to try next. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Sending AT command from xbee pro to read the data from device

I am new to serial communications using Labview.
I am having trouble with starting up the project, where I have to design the software that involves XBee pro module.
I need to send the READ command to read the data from a device. Then the software should go to the AT command mode (we enter the AT command mode by entering +++)
Then I need to read the energy level of the device by entering the command: ATED. The software should continuously read the energy level every 30 seconds, which will be displayed on the front panel.
I am not sure where to start the software from. i.e. how to enter the Read command and then the AT command.
I am hoping someone can suggest how to start this.
Thanks in advance.

Blackberry 8700: how do I restore data from device?

HT1349 Transferring data from device to new computer?

I just bought a new computer. I downloaded iTunes but it says that my computer is not authorized. Hmmm. If I sync my devices with the new computer, it threatens to wipe out my stuff on my iPhone and iPad. How can I get my devices to talk to my new computer?

You can authorize up to 5 devices at a time. First thing to do would be to sync your iPad with your old computer.
I suggest you authorize your new computer, then transfer all of your iTunes media to the new computer from the old one. Then deauthorize your old computer.

Access Data from device with Broken Screen

My Storm fell and the screen cracked and now it only displays a black screen. I am able to get it recognized with the Blackberry Destop Software but in order to fully access the device I need to unlock it, which I can't because the screen is broken. What can I do in order to access the documents that are NOTin the media card?

Hi heckstallk
Have you tried backing up your BlackBerry using the BlackBerry Desktop Software? After doing so, I would suggest performing reload of the software as shown in the article below:

Capturing data from printer (Officejet)

Hello!
I'm trying to write a program that will monitor the usage of printers remotely. I would like to get data about total page count on the printer and if possible how much ink (ml) is being used on a specific device (to determine ratio: black or color printing). I would like then to collect data on a server, so the administrator can monitor the usage of cartridges and paper being consumed in office.
The only problem here is how to get these data from devices (Officejet Pro 8610, 8100, X476 etc). I figured out that, if device is connected via network, program could collect data from web interface, in case there is no better option. Other thing is, if the device is connected via USB. Is it possible to get these data from driver itself, or is there any other option?
Thank you for your answers.

Have I missplaced that question in wrong forum, or have I made my question unclear to understand?

Read data from serial port or TCP port of frontend PC

Hello Friends,
I have requirement to read data from device connected to frontend PC which will provide meter reading data.
Vendor has given me two option.
1. Device can be connected to seiral port and data transfer will be done through MODBUS RTU protocol.In that case data need to capture from serial port.
2. Device can be connected to TCP port and Socket program can be provided for data transfer. In that case SAP will act as client and communicate with TCP port.
There will be multiple workstation with individual meters connected to them.
I am aware of text file interfacing through front end tools using custom code using VB,JAVA or others.
Is there any solution availble to achieve above things using ABAP other than text file , like direct communication?
I am using ECC 6.0.

Hello,
Socket programming in not available on ABAP, but you may use RFC for the same.

HT201269 how do I transfer all my data from IOS5 iphone on to my new Droid device( Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate)Don't even ask..Lol.. not my choice. iphone was my old company phone) :0

Hello, I have a (Company owned) iPhone 4 with upgraded IOS5 installed. I have 345 pics , several videos, notes, contacts, and my favorite songs(68 of them) in there. I must return the phone to my former employer. I have purchased a new phone with an SD card capable of 8GB external storage. I also purchased an 8GB flash/thmb drive per advice of the Verizon retail store that stated they can only transfer pics/contacts and failed to even do that after a 2 hour wait. so, how do I transfer my data from old iphone to new Gallaxy S Fascinate? Please! Thanks much... Deano

You can import photos to the computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Contacts and calendar can be synced to the computer as well to a supported application. How to transfer them from there is something I don't know, unless the new device supports getting contacts from those programs. You can also sync your calendar and contacts to gmail and then you would be able to sync them to the Droid that way. songs are in iTunes and are saved on your computer if you have them added there. However they could be in AAC version which would mean you would have to convert them for the Droid. You might want to go to an Android forum, they may have information there about how to do it, since many Apple owners have switched to Android.

iPhones require a SIM for activation.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.
