Pro Doesn't recognize Panasonic PV-GS250

I want to import movies created on my 3-chip Panasonic PV-GS250, but the MBP won't recognize the camcorder. No, it does not have firewire, but surely there must be a way using the USB cable! I don't want to spend hundreds more $$ for a new camera.
Solution anyone?

Welcome to the Forums!
No, it does not have firewire
Ummmm...it most certainly does!! And the FireWire connection is the best for digital video (USB can drop frames, FireWire won't). Admittedly, it's not called "FireWire" by Panasonic. You'll see terms like DV-Link, IEEE1394, etc. All are FireWire. All you need is a 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire cable, plug the 4-pin (smaller end) into the camera (the port is marked DV), and the 6-pin end into your Mac. The camcorder should be set to playback mode not PC mode (and *this is important*, since in PC mode iMovie will see the camcorder but give a connection error, but with the camcorder in playback iMovie should detect it and control it - at least, it does for my PV-GS35).

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize audio cd's after Yosemite upgrade

    After completing the upgrade to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize purchased audio cd's.  Help!!

    hi russeel!
    when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?
    okay, we've gone up a
    b lot
    of versions in your case (nearly as many as it is possible to go), so we'd probably better check through some of the usual suspects. let's start off with this document:

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize Flip Mino camera in USB port after Yosemite upgrade

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Flip Mino camera in the USB port.

    I don't use FLIP, but if you get no other help here,
    consider the following ideas.
    If neither restarting your Mac
    nor reinstalling OS X fixes your
    problem, you might find some
    help if you search or post in the
    CISCO forum where Flip users post.

  • Macbook pro doesn't recognize internal speakers

    my macbook pro  doesn't recognize internal speakers and there is a red light inside the headphone port.  How can I get the speakers working again?

    In addition to what dominc23 suggests, you may try jiggling a toothpick or cocktail stirrer in order to trip the internal switch.  If all fails, the Apple store genius bar is you last resort.

  • Macbook pro doesn't recognize camera on image capture

    My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the built-in camera for a lot of my applications, including Image Capture. It doesn't show up anywhere in my system preferences. Any idea why this is so?

    (1)  Mac's built-in camera does not work with Image Capture.
    Image Capture works with external devices like scanners, some iOS devices, some cameras and RAM cards, etc.  Click this link for more info about Image capture and some of the apps that can work with your inbuilt camera.
    Click here for info about how to use Image Capture to transfer images from a connected external camera.
    For more info about Image Capture functions, see Image Capture > Help on your Mac or the Apple pages in this link.
    (2) To test for application-specific problems mentioned in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, use apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, iChat, FaceTime, or others intended to work with your Mac's inbuilt camera.
    (3) To test for user-specific problems mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, you must have more than one user account.  Do NOT use the "Guest" account.  Click this link if you need help creating new accounts for testing.

  • Mac pro doesn't recognize admin password

    Mac pro doesn't recognize administrator password on login, I am using Yosemite and I was using erlier and didint let me log back in password was correct at all times tries to reset password with apple id and still not working. Try disk utilities with terminal and disk is not available, when I updated from maverick to yosemite I didin't set up a disc recovery.

    when I updated from maverick to yosemite I didin't set up a disc recovery.
    There is no need to do anything to set up Recovery. It should have been created and updated automatically on your Boot Drive when you upgraded to Yosemite.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize iPhone 4Gs

    Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs
    My Macbook Pro 15 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs (iOS5.1)
    Suddenly it stopped, last time was April 11 via Wi-Fi.
    Now even with the device plugged it can't be recognized.
    On iPhone Settings, the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" tab is grayed.
    Few days ago iPhone started to behave strangely, refusing to power off, sometimes not charging when plugged to USB port, sometimes does.
    Don't know what to do.
    Thanks in advance
    best

    What kind of phone is this? an iphone 4? or an iphone 4S? ( note there is no such phone as an iPhone 4gS)
    What you describe here is in my eyes the beginning signs of accidental damge, such as water damge of some sort.
    This is a great oppurtunity to see if the same issues you are having when connecting to your computer, replicate when conencted to another computer.
    You need to find out if there is a way to test with a new USB cord if possible to rule that out.
    Trying to isolate this to, or away from the iphone.

  • Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card

    Mac Pro doesn't recognize USB 3.0 PCI express card.  Does it need specific drivers? 

    I did a little searching for that card.  The more I looked at it the more I felt that, yes, it needs a driver, and no, one doesn't exist for the Mac.  So it looks like that is a card only supported for PC's. But to be sure, if I were in your place at this point, I would contact MSI directly.

  • Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

    Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

    I just used the "Quick Menu" in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after wasting hours several days when the SSID and Network key/password were already activated and the Adobe software claimed no scanner was available. . These Adobe user manuals are next to useless. Now I'm still dealing with this problem: "Save As was unable to find tables in the document No file was created." (i.e., from the pdf file I created using NI). Well it's obvious there are tables in the pdf, but so far I haven't been able to get a result to determine the intrinsic accuracy of Adobe's pdf to Excel capability.

  • Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize epson scanner

    Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize my epson perfection 1670 scanner. Other applications recognize this scanner. What can I do?
    All software and drivers are updated.
    Acrobat x pro ver10.1.4
    Mac os x 10.8.1, mountian lion

    Twain Sane can be downloaded HERE.  Others have recommended it as well and it is a viable option if your scanner is no longer supported under Mountain Lion.
    It is a bit of work to install and configure, but the developer says a preference pane is available and makes it a bit easier. Check out the site for instructions on how to install and configure it.

  • MBP doesn't recognize Panasonic HDC-TM900

    My MBP doesn't recognize Panasonic HDC-TM900 videocamera. I tried to connect both devices through an USB cable, but the camera is not recognized by the computer, no trace of the camera in System Profiler or Disk Utility. What should I do to solve this problem? Any tip welcomed.

    It's very possible that the card was not formatted properly inside the camera or you are recording in 1080p60 (or 50) and your editing software does not recognize that format.
    I hope that makes sense

  • HT5172 My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my card reader (with a CF card inserted).

    My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my USB card reader with a CF card inserted.  It works fine on my old Macbook Pro.
    Do I need a new card reader?  USB 3 perhaps?
    I would appreciate any input that you may have.  Thank you.

    Hi, closereaching. Instead of spending 12 hours reinstalling your operating system and getting everything back up to date again, which probably won't accomplish anything, why not buy a $10 USB card reader for your Casio's SD card? Or (more expensive, but a much more elegant solution), an ExpressCard SD card reader that can stay in your computer all the time?

  • Premiere Pro doesn't recognize my monitor resolution.

    My monitor has a 2560 x 1440 Pixel Resolution 27" LCD Display. I just switched from Premiere Pro CS6 to Premiere Pro CC. When I open the program, it says my monitor does not meet the minimum size requirements. It clearly doesn't recognize the high-res display. The video playback looks ragged. How can I fix this?

    Well we need a lot more hardware data.  What GPU? How much VRAM? What driver version?
    What CPU, memory, Mac or PC etc?

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize DVD

    My MacBook Pro doesn't read some DVD's! I'm trying to install my camera's software, but the drive doesn't read the DVD! It just make some odd noises and then ejects the disc. However, it can still read discs I burned on my other Mac and it recognizes blank CD's and DVD's! Is anyone going through the same issue?

    It's the DVD for Mac. And I'm having the same problem with other DVDs. The drive just recognize blank discs and discs burned on other macs.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't recognize iPhone when USB connected

    I have a MacBook Pro, an iPod, and an iPhone.  Using the same usb port and cable I have the following situation.  The MacBook Pro recognizes both other devises in iTunes through the internet.  The MacBook Pro does not recognize the iPhone 5 when connected by cable but does recognize the iPod.  Because of this I can't transfer photos from the iPhone to the MacBook Pro.  When connected the iPod shows it is charging but the iPhone 5 does not.  Using the same cable connected to the wall charger both devices show they are charging.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  Thank you.
