Non-Controllable Device (other than the freezing) problem

I am using FCP 6.0.2 and 10.5.1. I have had virtually no problems for years, but this one recently appeared. I can capture using any setting except for Non-Controllable device. I have two cameras I use, the Sony HDR-FX1 and a little Panasonic hand held Mini-Dv camera. Both have worked before using the non-controllable device, but now when I choose that setting, it says "No Communication" As soon as I put it in any other setting, it says "VTR OK" and I can capture and use all the controls. Seems like it happened after I installed Leopard.
I tried looking for something in all the settings and preferences but didn't see anything. I also trashed all the preferences for FCP. Any other ideas before I re-install FCP?

Try repairing your permissions as well...then be sure to re-boot

    Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help please

    I also have this problem, as does everybody else I know who has tried to use the video in icloud. As the original poster says, they can be uploaded, but will only play on the device from which they were originally uploaded, appeaering only as images which display an endless buffering symbol when "played" on any other devices with which the photostream is shared.
    Has anyone been able to get this to work? And if not, why is there no acknowledgement from Apple that this bug exists and will be addressed in an update (now running 7.0.2 and still no improvement)? It was, after all, advertised as one of the attractive new features of iOS 7. So why the stony silence?

  • How do you receive iMessages from a device other than the iPhone they originally are being sent to?

    I'm trying to receive iMessages from a phone other than my own. How do I receive them, I have both Apple IDs and both passwords but do not have current access to the phone I'm trying to get the iMessages from.

    Do you have the other phone's Apple ID active in your iPhone iMessage setting? If not, then you would not get them. And, the person sending the iMessage would have to be sending to the Apple ID and not the phone number.

  • Audio syncing problems w/ non-controllable device

    I have some old 8mm camcorder tapes that I'm trying to capture in FCP. I have a digital 8 camcorder that's able to play back my old 8mm tapes and convert the analog video to DV within the camera, and send it via FireWire, just like with standard digital 8 tapes. The difference is that there's no timecode with the old analog 8mm tapes, so I have to change my device settings to "non controllable device." So the problem is that the audio doesn't seem to be sinking properly. When I play back the captured video, the audio is so glitchy, it's completely unintelligible.
    The only solution I've come up with would be to first copy the old 8mm tapes  to digital 8 tapes, and then capture the digital 8 tapes in FCP. But I would need my old analog 8mm camcorder for that, and I don't have it anymore.
    I'm using FCP 5.1.4. Your suggestions are much appreciated.

    iMovie uses a straight transfer of the muxed audio/video stream - the DV format.
    This muxed version is a non-native format to FCP and requires rendering as you edit.
    Converting to DV/NTSC (DV/PAL) Quicktime de-muxes the audio and video into separate streams. FCP is optimized to edit this Quicktime format without rendering.
    Using DV is like trying to edit H.264 files. You can bring these non-native formats into FCP and the program will try to work with the material. However, they will cause problems. It is better to have the material in a FCP native format.

  • 'Audio to Video' problem when trying to import from non-controllable device

    Hello,
    I am trying to import media from a VHS into FCP, using a 'Dazzle', (DAC from Data Video). In my Capture Settings, under Device Control, I selected 'Non-controllable device', and under the Capture/Input setting, I chose the default, 'DV STSC 48 khz', then did 'Capture Now'. It seemed to work fine, until about half-way through the project, I noticed that the sound did not match up to the people speaking/singing on the video. Should I change the Capture/Input setting to something else? Or, is there another setting I need to make, so that audio/video will match up? Also, should I maybe try a Batch Capture, instead of Capture Now? I just thought of that when writing this - any help would be most appreciated, thank you!
    Kristina

    Ooooo.... Hate to say... Dazzle just has bad memories for me. Hollywood Bridge... made by Dazzle...
    Nothing but problems. Not sure if yours is the same.
    Anyway to use your camera as a passthru for the VCR instead?
    Still -- no guarantees sync will line up. For that you need to capture in 15 minute or less segments. Hard to do with VHS that will run for 2 hours... but it's your best bet. Join them up in post if you have to.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

    so my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

    I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
    The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
    Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.

  • Non-Controllable device load crash

    I am loading into my system under the Capture Settings with Non-Controllable Device. I have been able to capture video successfully through this setting before, but the clips were only 1-2 minutes. I am trying to capture a clip that is 8-10 minutes. So after I have finished the live load and the clip is finished I press Escape to end the load. When I do that the preview screen continues to stay up and the rainbow wheel starts to spin. That is when the crash occurs. I do a force shut down and when I restart my media drive is full. It seems that the video file that was being created is now as big as the how much free space was available when I began the load.
    I have been able to capture files up to 30 minutes in the past in non-controllable device mode, but now every time i try to capture it crashes. And I have a deadline friday. Please help.

    Make sure you have set a Capture Time Limit. Here's why....
    When you use Capture Now, the disk system is being asked by FCP to essentially "keep capturing until we tell you to stop ... and no, we don't know HOW much that will be either." It is stressful on the system to be continually wandering around looking for space to stuff those ones and zeros with out any sense of how many they have to accommodate. One solution available to the system is to allocate the ENTIRE empty space on the disk as the potential capture file. This essentially locks the machine as there is no headroom for basic disk operations.
    However if you set a limit on capture now, say 60 minutes, the disk system can allocate the space and may seem to be less confused by the process. It still does not know EXACTLY how much you want, but it knows you will not want MORE THAN the limit and therefor can reduce some of the uncertainty.
    Better yet is to record to a timecode addressable tape. This allows you to log the tape, then use batch capture. When you do this, the system knows EXACTLY how much space to allocate for each file and is very efficient.
    Good luck.

  • Non-Controllable Device Sound Drift

    My wife is a dance teacher who recorded some of her choreography using our Sony DVR-PC100. Unfortunately for me she "needs" to rewind the tape and review each take to make sure it is good before proceeding to the next dance. Since the tape I'm given to capture is a mess of broken timecode, I decided to use capture settings for a non-controllable device. The problem that I'm running into is the sound on the captured clip has drifted. I had run into a similar problem in the past when I was capturing and Hi-8 tape using a Sony DCR-TRV480 Digital 8 camera. Since the solution in that case was to set the camera output to 16-bit, I checked the audio settings on the PC100 and found that it is set to 12-bit (which doesn't seem to be a problem when device control is set to Firewire NTSC). I changed the audio setting on the PC100 and recaptured the footage but the sound was still drifting. Why this was still happening didn't make sense to me until I realized that changing the audio setting on the PC100 wasn't going to change the fact that the audio was originally recorded in and still was 12-bit audio. I believe the TRV480 is different because with the analog tapes I was capturing it was digitizing the video on the fly. My question (I apologize for my long-winded explanation) is there a way to capture the broken timecode footage shot with 12-bit audio without getting audio drift. The only solution that I can think of is put the original tape in another camera and output analog footage into the PC100 with the audio set to 16-bit. I should end up with a DV tape with continuous timecode and 16-bit audio. I think I would be OK with 12-bit audio at this point because I would have continuous timecode. Thanks in advance

    The camera output is not relevant, only that the tape was actually recorded at. Was this material recorded at 32k or 48k, that is was it 12-bit or 16-bit? Whichever it is that's the setting you have to use in FCP.

  • Non controllable device lost

    hello everybody there,
    I am trying to capture analog vhs-footage via a canon mvx350i (the camera serving as a analog-dv converter) but with or without the device connected, the setting for dv-converter does not work. it displays that the device profile for a "non controllable device" is missing.
    if I trash prefs, the initial setup dialog ends up with an error -34, and I can not select the basic config for a dv-converter.
    It makes no difference if I first connect the camera and then start fce, or vice versa. the configuration is just not available.
    capturing does work with iMovie or quicktime, so I can use it as a workaround.
    I recently updated to OS 10.5.2, quicktime 7.4.1, fce is 4.0 .
    re-installed FCE and QT. repaired permissions several times.
    allthough I can use the iMovie or Quicktime workaround, I like to know where that "non-controllable-device profile" got lost?
    thank you for you help,
    michael

    I found it:
    its a problem with the german localisation:
    just for trying (and for looking up the correct english menu-items for better communication in the forum)
    I switched to english as first language, then startet FCE, everything went fine and easy.
    I had then 2 possible options to choose from in easy setup:
    DV-Converter and DV-Konverter (the latter beeing German)
    if I Choose the english "Converter", it works.
    seems the german localisation can not connect to the proper config or something.
    I think this is maybe something apple should know. What would be the best way to give them a note?

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 and devices other than Cisco.

    Hello.
    Can I use some CiscoWorks LMS functions like config management, topology, with devices other than Cisco?
    Thanks.

    No, RME, Campus and DFM are still hardcoded to restrict to cisco devices.
    HUM and IPSLA are more open.
    The functionality from the HUM will allow you to monitor availablilty, interfaces and you can add OID's yourself.
    IPSLA can use non cisco devices as a target for their tests.
    Cheers,
