Premier pro capture screen greyed out

I have been accustomed to using my Canon HDV 1080i for shooting video footage on tape and downloading to hard drive using Premier Pro capture.
I have recently had a new laptop and cannot get it set up as before. Probably there is some vital step I have forgotten, so would be very grateful for any help.
Here is what I have done
Installed Creative Suite CS3 Master edition onto my 64 bit windows HP laptop (very similar spec as before), and validated the licence etc
Connected the camcorder to the laptop with a firewire cable (cable firmly seated both ends - same cable as I used before)
Created a new project in Premier Pro
Powered on the camcorder and set to "play" (as opposed to "camera/record")
When I did this the first time I got the expected message to say the Canon device driver was being installed.
Selected "capture" from the Premier Pro menu
The capture window comes up, but here is the problem - all the controls are greyed out. I would have expected to be able to select "record" and/or to see the footage playing in the capture preview screen when I press play on the camera. But nothing.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
Thanks very much.
Sarah

MBP to TV using a cable - TV screen greys out after 10-15 mins

Hi there, I am looking for some assistance to solve the following issue that I cannot seem to resolve,
I have my Macbook Pro (OS 10.8.5) hooked up to my 42' Philips TV (Model 42PFL560AH) using Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable. I then go to displays settings on my Mac and mirror displays and I then have audio and video on the TV and everything is working fine.
The problem I have is if I stream video from the web, the TV screen 'greys out' every 10-15 mins or so and I then have to go to my display settings on my Macbook Pro and change the refresh rate. I change between PAL & NTSC or visa versa and I am then good for another 10-15mins.
I do not know if this problem is Mac or TV model related.
Any help or suggestion is appreciated as this is doing my head in.
Regards,
Celtictiger

Soundls like it is working. Try dragging a window on the MBP to the edge of the screen and see if it appears on the TV.
There are two ways to set up the TV one is to mirror the MBP display and the other is to be an extension of the MBP's screen.
You change the settings in System Preference->Display

IMac (Early 2008 Model) Screen Greys Out And Then Must Reboot

The iMac that we bought back in the summer of 2008 has been having issues over the past couple days. I was using Safari yesterday and then a grey "box" filled the screen and then told me to shut down the computer (by holding down the power button) and then restart it. I did that and I was back on my way. Then a few other people used the iMac (on their own accounts using Safari and iMovie) and had no problems. Just an hour ago I was exporting a video in iMovie and was using Safari at the same tiime and the screen greyed out again. I restarted it and this time I got 3 beeps with a 5 second pause in between over and over again while the screen was black. I held down the power button and it turned off; I waited a few minutes and turned it back on and now its working again. Any idea what's going on? I upgraded the RAM and upgraded to Lion last month. I have not reset the PRAM yet, I would like to know what the problem is and why this keeps randomly happening to what seems to only be my user account.

I've looked at that, I did try to link the discussion to the article but it failed too Thank you though.
I just created an Ubuntu DVD to run - the graphics are distorted on that too so I'm guessing it's a fault with the graphics card. I don't have the knowledge to confirm/deny it so a trip to an Apple Store is probably in order?

Soundtrack Pro and Compressor greyed out on installation

For some reason the option to install Soundtrack Pro and Compressor are greyed out when performing installation of Logic Stdio.
I had installed Logic Studio previously but ran out of disk space and so uninstalled the program, upgraded my hard drive and I'm now at the point of reinstallation - but can't install those two programs.
Here's a screen shot of what I get AFTER installing what I can:

Also, why do some of the programs have 'upgrade' under Action?
Thanks.

I tried Final Cut Remover, and still had the same problem. I am in the midst of using Pacifist and it seems to be working. Apparently Pacifist copies the compressed files to to your hard drive then extracts and installs the programs. It appears to be working, but I will let you know whenever it finishes if indeed it does the job...
It is free to try and $20 for a donation. It might be a bargain considering the time it will save me...

Macbook pro wifi symbol greyed out and will not recognize networks

My Macbook Pro has had an issue since this past fall of having its wifi symbol greyed out with an "X". It also does not recognize wifi networks as in simply no networks show up. Talked to Apple last week and they said to upgrade to Yosemite, but I am still having this issue. Help?

Have you used DVDs that have different region codes? It may be that your DVD drive is locked for a region code different from what Netflix is programmed for.
Ciao.

Scan button in image capture is greyed out

I have an Epson Workforce 545 connected wirelessly to my network and had been using Image Capture for scanning. When I went to use Image Capture today the "scan" button is greyed out.. I have all the newest software updates.
Using MacBook Air I get an error message w Iage Capture although printing works fine.

I found another thread suggesting drawing a box around the scan field. That seems to work.

Why is ask to share someone screen greyed out when on yosemite, sometimes it is greyed out, other times it's not

can someone tell me when I try to screen share and ask if she will let me see her screen, the option to ask to screen share is greyed out. The weird thing, is, is sometimes, it's greyed out, and sometimes it's black. Can not figure out why that would be. Tried same thing with my Bro and the option was not greyed out.
Is there a glitch or what when its inconsistent about the option to ask to share their screen.

The quick answer is that certain Back to My Mac features are not working well in Yosemite.
Read some of the following to determine if there is anything you can do about it, otherwise we will just have to wait for Apple to fix it:
Setting up and using Back to My Mac with an AirPort base station or Time Capsule
OS X Yosemite: Share your screen using Back to My Mac
If you have issues using Back to My Mac - Apple Support

Itouch apps appear on computer screen greyed out

When I plug my iTouch (4) into my (newly upgraded) iTunes program and click on "my iTouch" it shows the apps on the iTouch but they're greyed out and I have no access to them. The only option I had was to download new copies of my apps from the iTunes store directly onto the iTouch.
Why can't I control the iTouch apps from my computer?

I forgot to say that I just upgraded the iTouch to ver 4.something (the newest) and the Itunes to the newest version (10 something). Hopefully I won't have to go back to an older version to 'fix' this.

Why original music won't play (greyed out) ?

I know this is a well covered issue with Apple, iTunes, iPhones/Pads/Pods... I'm reading tons of questions and different solutions about this problem.
I had my share of this with purchased music as well as CD copied. My ecosystem is all Apple (Apple desktop, MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPads, Apple TV... My loyalty is (still) there as I have invested too much in iTunes purchases :-) ...
But I also need to use all this ecosystem as a work tool and 2 times out of 3 (can't figure out why it works sometimes...), when I create music and need as a producer to test some mixes in my car or earbuds through an iPhone, I'm stucked with a file that remains greyed out on some devices, even though it will play on the computer where it was created. The song title appear on my iPhone, and on MacBook Pro but remain greyed out. No cloud image on this line that I could simply click to bring it on the device.
No I have not unplugged anything.
Yes I use sharing and I subscribe to iMatch which should make everything available everywhere...
Even a forced sync (wired) won't fix it. And no I don't want to backup, reset, spend hours to this bug which appears to last forever from posts I am reading back to 2010 and probably earlier, which should have been fixed by Apple for long... As musician and producer, I am beside anything related to protecting IP, however, when I can't even access my own IP, there's something wrong... (So I am besides anyone who purchased music legally and faces the same issue !... )
So, just in case someone has an explanation or suggestion (update) to this frustrating issue, I am asking this question again...
Thanks,
Rob

A month and no one has a clue ?? ....
I'm not alone on this one, c'mon guys !

Premier Pro CS6 and MOD files.

I am thinking of getting Premier Pro CS6 and wonder if it will work with MOD files. My Panasonic camcorder records in MOD format. I notice that my Media Encoder 5.5 won't work with MOD file so I don't want to spend $$$$ on Premier Pro only to find out it doesn't work tih MOD files either.
Thanks

Premiere Pro does not support mod files.
Some are lucky by just changing the extention.
Others have to convert:

However Premiere Elements does support mod files.
