OSX Upgrade has screwed up my video input!!

Hey guys,
My issue is that Final Cut is not recognizing my Video FireWire input now that I have upgraded to Tiger (10.4.11). It recognizes the audio input from the cameras (I've been using more than one as long as I've had my macs with Panther).
Final Cut is telling me that my Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480) video input is "missing."
Also, when I go to "Log and Capture" and hit "Play," it plays the video on the camera and plays the audio, but the Log and Capture screen remains with the "Preview Disabled" message.
I should note that I've gone through all the basics with my mac and with Final Cut including checking the cable, the cameras, refreshing in Final Cut, fiddling with my Final Cut preferences - and my machine is showing that it is indeed reading my cameras when I check the "firewire bus."
I have deduced that this must be due to the upgrade because I'm having the same issue on 4 other eMacs in the classroom at the school where I teach, which I've also upgraded from Panther to Tiger. And everything worked fine before the upgrade (which is making me regret ever doing it!).
Can anyone help??? This is extremely frustrating!! Thanks,
Dan

Daniel,
As has been pointed out already, FCP 4.5 runs best with Panther and QT 6.5
In a lab situation such as yours where reliability for teaching rather than access to the latest os widgets and waggles, I would think it's paramount to stick with a reliable combination of applications to operating systems.
FCP4.5
OS 10.3.9
QT 6.5
I am also mystified that many folks keep thinking FCP 4.5 can and should run properly with Tiger and especially Leopard and when it doesn't they show up here whining and blaming Apple (I'm not talking specifically about you). Amazing.
Good luck,
Zeb

  • HT1338 clear disk of iMac as OSX upgrade has slowed the machine to the point it is practically inoperative

    My machine asked to be switched off after OSX was installed. It then would not boot. I had an Apple approved technician come to my home and get the machine to at least boot. But it is so slow a 386 would be faster. Should I clear my disk? I have backed up the machine prior to the first download.

    First backup to a storage drive using the emergency quick copy method, then disconnect the external drive, do NOT rely solely upon TimeMachine.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next follow this procedure for reinstalling OS X 10.6, Security Zero Erase the entire drive in Disk Utility (important)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Update fully to 10.6.8 and exrtract your free iLife from your 10.5 disks or buy new from AppStore if needed.
    Run the machine with no files returned for some time to rule out a hardware or file problem, then return copies of your files from backup and then make a TimeMachine and/or bootable clone drive.
    Don't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 as that won't run your older software and slows older 10.5 era machines down quite a bit

  • Displayport video input support for new 27" iMac

    Does anyone know if the new 27" iMac just released today has support for displayport video input like the previous generation 27" iMac does? Please tell me you haven't taken this awesome feature away in the midst of the change to Thunderbolt ports etc! I'm asking because in the previous gen iMac specs it clearly states that displayport video input is supported but it doesn't mention it in the tech specs section of the new iMac.
    Could someone from Apple please let me know? Thanks.
    Mike

    I am tempted to go out and buy a new HDMI to mini-displayport adapter and connect it to a new iMac at the Apple store to see for myself........
    I'd hold up on that.  I don't see a mini displayport on the new iMac.  Looks like it goes through the Thunderbolt interface.  Scroll down to connectors.

    Thanks for that.  I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work.  Another  com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
    I now have the following files in Library

  • How can I connect my iPad to a TV that only has an s-video input available but also has a usb port on the satellite box available.

    I would like to connect my iPad to my older TV but the only inputs available are the s-video input port on the TV itself and there is also a USB input port on the satellite box that feeds the TV. I could also split all the RCA jacks to accomodate another input here. Thanks in advance for any and all help with this problem of mine..............RR.

    There is no s-video cable available for any iPad.
    The USB port on the cable box is for maintenance use only.
    There are RCA cables available:

  • Third party chip and OSX upgrades

    i have an original bondi blue imac (233 mhz) that I upgraded years ago to 500mhz with a newer technologies third-party chip. I also have upgraded it to a 40MB HD and 374 Meg RAM with another 8Meg video RAM. Now it is time to do the firmware update in order to upgrade to OSX.
    Has anyone had any experience with that firmware update and those types of third party chips? I am afraid!
    The manufacturer has discontinued them and I emailed them but haven't got any joy so far.
    thanks

    iMac bondi :: dual USB ibook   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Do you have the original CPU handy? You can always downgrade, then do the firmware upgrade, and then upgrade again.
    As far as I know the firmware upgrade affects only the logic board and not the CPU, but I don't want to be responsible for you frying your upgrade chip. As the upgrade chip is technically not supported by Apple, they will not have tested their firmware upgrader on a machine that has a third-party chip. But untested doesn't mean it won't work.

  • HDMI Live Video Input into new MacBook Pro?

    We current use FireWire into an older MacBook Pro to stream live video.
    Want to go to HD camera that has HDMI output.
    Can new MacBook Pros take live video input from HDMI?

    No drivers are required.
    Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM?PRAM

    Do you have any other FW devices to test with?
    I used same adopters when I migrated my 2013 Mac Pro from my 2009 Mac Mini.
    Did the 2012 Mac Mini have the same OSX version as you are using on the Mac Pro?
    It could be incompatible with the Mac Pro. I ask because I have n iSight camera (FR400) that worked with my 2009 Mini with before Mavericks but would not work with Maverick. It would also not work with my 2102 Mac MIn but the camera but not mix work on my 2103 Mac Pro

  • Upgrading G4, 400 MHz Sawtooth Video Card

    I know this has been addressed but I can't find the answer to this question:
    I have a 400Mhz G4 Sawtooth
    20" Cinema Display
    I want to buy a video card that supports latest OSX iMovie, Quick Time etc...
    What do I buy?

    The reason I need a new graphics card is so I can use iMovie and Quicktime, on my computer in iTunes movies do not work at all (Yes, I have the latest edition of Quicktime Pro)
    The latest OSX (Tiger) has included things within its iMovie rendering software which simply will not work unless you have a Quartz Extreme compatible graphics card - These include: Themes, Ken Burns Photos and Video FX. Believe me, the problems that countless people are having with the latest versions of iMovie are most likely caused by not having this Quartz Extreme Compatible card.
    Since I use iMovie a lot and have a need to view certain graphics and movies on my display while trying to render them - My computer, as it is, has become obsolete.
    I knew this day would come - It always does - I just do not have the money, right now, to buy a new Mac.
    I also know that the Intel Core Due is going to be upgraded to a much faster processor - the recently released Intel Quad processor is on the table as Apple's new "Must Have" upgrade... I also know, from experience, that soon after the Christmas rush of buying Apple products is over, What was the latest & greatest is suddenly obsolete.
    Thank you for all of your help.

  • 7.2.0 won't recognize video input devices and gives error 2003332927

    Ever since upgrading to QT 7.2.0, my G5 duo 2.0 has been unable to use quicktime to record video from hardware that worked fine with earlier devices. Also this hardware is recognized fine by Final Cut Pro and iMovie even with QT 7.2.0 installed. I have attempted most maintenance fixes (fixing permissions, etc) but have hit a wall on this issue. I use two different pieces of hardware: a Panasonic DV 2000 recorder and a Data Video DAC analog to digital video converter. neither will be recognized by Quicktime. Because I have a second MAC G5 duo, I know the hardware is working properly under the earlier version of QT 7.1 When going to preferences in Quicktime and selecting the recording option, instead of recognizing the Panasonic, it just lists a generic DV option. Similarly, instead of recognizing the DAC converter, it just lists a generic DV converter. Then when attempting to record a movie after choosing one of the generic devices, I get the error prompt below:
    "The operation could not be completed due to an unknown error. NSE error "MAC OS error 2003332929" Domain+NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code+2003332927).
    I've tried switching the firewire port used to connect the devices with no relief there as well.
    Any clue what's wrong? Or am I going to have to wait for another upgrade of Quicktime to fix this?

    Fortunately I've been able to put a temporary fix into my system. By searching my primary drive for all Quicktime system files, I've deleted all files and dragged the application Quicktime 7.1.0 from another computer into the application folder. Restarting seems to have replaced all the library preference files needed for quicktime. It instantly recognized my video input items.
    This obviously needs a more permanent fix which will only come when Apple releases the next version of Quicktime (possibly today with the release of Leopard).

  • How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

    Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.  Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
    The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI.  Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

    google component hdmi converter
    but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all

  • The OSX upgrade couldn't be started because the disk is damaged and can't be repaired.

    I'm getting the above error message after trying many different "fixes" described on message boards.  Here's the issue: I have a Macbook Pro that developed a problem with an endless boot cycle.  The solution ended up being to wipe the drive using Disk Utility.  I then reinstalled OSX from a Snow Leopard disk, and the computer appeared to be working normally.  Then, when I attempted to upgrade to Mavericks from the App Store, I get this message when the computer tries to reboot and install the OS.  I have tried verifying and repairing the disk, resetting NVRAM/PRAM, resetting the SMC...but always I get the following error message:
    Install Failed
    OSX could not be installed on your computer
    The OSX upgrade couldn't be started because the dis Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired
    Curious if anyone has experienced this problem or has a possible fix.  Thanks for your help

    I did not verify/repair from Snow Leopard...simply reinstalled then attempted to download/install Mavericks from the App Store.  Having seen this suggestion, I've now rebooted into recovery mode, and when I try to verify/repair, it aborts both processes and I get the respective errors:  "The volume couldnot be verified completely" and "Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."

    I don't know if this one " Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB GDDR5/128bit Dual-Link DVI/HDMI/Display Port Direct X 11 "

    Hi,
    Do you have a purpose in wanting a better video card?  gaming? What applications require a bigger video card?
    The p6240d only has a 250 watt power supply so a better video card will require a power supply upgrade.

  • .Mov files in CC : The File Has no Audio or Video Streams

    I recently updated premier to CC , since i have issues iimporting any .mov files at all.
    The specific ones Im trying for my current project are exports from AE , rendered lossless animation .mov , worked fine in CS6 , will play in quicktime and other generic's but always getting the The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams message when trying to import into a project.
    Quicktime is updated so I can't understand why the won't play, is this a CC bug ?
    i go back to cs6 on my other comp they open fine...
    Ive seen a few topics on this none with a resolution and most of those where from cam's, this is an export from AE, anyone able to help this is stopping me from working atm ......

    I can verify that Apple screen recordings without audio do not import into any Adobe premeier.
    Details on screen recording from Gspot v2.70a:
    H.264
    qt  : Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)
    File Type: QuickTime (.MOV)
    Mime Type: video/quicktime
    Len: 1:03.083
    Frms: 1,521
    Qf: 0.153
    Frames/s: 20.000
    wx: 1280 x 800
    sar: 1.600 (8:5)
    However Apple (MAC OSX) screen recordings WITH audio will import.
    I would think this should be fixable with hotfixes...
    If you (adobe staff) have access to macbook pros 2012 or 2013 models, open quick time pro, do a screen recording, make sure no audio is recording, just your screen movements.. then export to 1080p video (mov is only option).. then on a windows PC try to import that file into adobe premiere. The file will play perfectly fine natively in windows with any player so long as a H264 decoder is available on that system... the problem here is Adobe Premiere. Not the users system.
    Edit:
    To help those with this issue.. just make sure when you render your mov that you have ANY kind of audio in it.. and just remove the audio track once imported into premiere. I know it's frustrating and you would think something as simple as not having an audio track wouldn't break premiere but alas... we have to work around the shortcomings until they decide to fix it.. just like the VFR issue in premiere.
