Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5 need to completely disable SteadyShot

Has anyone discovered a hack to completely disable SteadyShot, the motor? Even when shooting 720p at 60fps where the SteadyShot is suppose to be inactive I find it still on. Unfathomably, using the camera on a tripod actually gives me a shakey picture (not to metion a loud adiable grind sound everytime the SteadyShot kicks in), which makes the camera footage worthless. At this point I am finding it hard to believe this camera ever made it to retail as the SteadyShot completely ruins the picture and adds the kinda noise to the audio one woudl associate with old film cameras. It's really, really bad. If anyone knows how I can kill the SteadyShot completely I'd appreciate it.

Hi Eliah,
Welcome to Sony Community!
There is an option to turn OFF Steadyshot option under “Shooting menu” of the Camera. The camera shake reduction function works only in [640 × 480 30P] or [1280 × 720 30P] mode.
Information about this option is mentioned on page # 40 of the Handbook:

Thank you for your post.

Problem with SD card and Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5

I have just bought a Sony Bloggie model MHS-CM5 and a SanDisk SDHC (number 4) 4gb card. For some reason when I turn it on, it was saying "error formatting sd card" or something very similar. I did some research and saw a problem somewhat similar, tried connecting to my computer, taking the battery out and back in, formatting card from camera options, and now it is saying there is no space on the memory card when it is brand new. I am fairly good with these things and I am stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated!

A SDHC type 4 4GB card should work fine with your bloggie, so try the card in another device and try another card in your bloggie to establish which is having the issue. If you find that the bloggie is having issues with several different cards it may need service. Give Sony support a call and they will be happy to help:

SONY Bloggie MHS-TS20 install issue

I bought a SONY Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 and am trying to launch the software. I get so far as installing it and says 'starting', but then i get directed to a google chrome page that says:
" oops! google chrome could not connect to localhost:2468" then nothing. I've tried un-installing it and re-installing but I get the same error message everytime. I'm using an HP with Vista.

Hello All,
Out of curiosity - Have you tried to disable the Firewall software prior to installing the software? I know when I did the install (I don't use google chrome) but Windows Firewall did require that I "Allow" the bloggie software access to the internet.
Try disabling your Firewall software be it Symantec, Norton, McAfee or Windows - Then install the software and see if you have the problem.

Sony Bloggie MHS-TS20

Recently purchased this Bloggie from Costco. I have taken both video and still with this camera and have installed the software on my computer. I connected the Bloggie to my computer via the USB flip and expected it to upload my video and stills. After leaving it connected for 2 days, the Bloggie still hasn't uploaded most of my video or stills. I don't have much video or stills so I can't imagine it would take so long to upload. I don't get any error messages, just a box saying "importing". Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
There is separate board for the Bloggie camera. I am moving this post to the appropriate board so that others looking for the same information can locate it under the correct board.
Now to answer your post, instructions regarding using the basic functions of the Bloggie Camera can be found in the supplied manual. However, detailed instructions regarding the different functions of the Bloggie camera can be found in the Bloggie Handbook included on its internal memory.
You can also download the handbook from the below link.

Faulty Bluetooth Module, Need Help to Completely Disable

I have a 2 GHz Core Duo Macbook running 10.6.8 and I am currently having a very frustrating issue with my bluetooth module. When I attempt to sleep my computer it immediately wakes, as addressed by users with faulty bluetooth modules. Bluetooth is also not found in my system profiler so it must be a hardware issue. At this point I am just holding out for a the new macbook pro and am trying to get by with this machine. My question is how can I completely disable bluetooth on my computer so that my mac will not sleep. I do not have any bluetooth devices and am not concerned about regaining bluetooth functionality, I just want my computer to get some sleep. I am familiar with basic terminal commands.

Hi, manojgj
I don't think the wire is part of the Bluetooth. If you enter the BIOS and navigate Security ► I/O Port Access, do you see Bluetooth listed? If so, is it set to Enabled?
Best,
Adam

Bloggie MHS-FS3

Hi,
I just bought a Bloggie MHS-FS3 and I just had a terrible experience with the online support, one hour of question and nothing, please forgive e if I'm not in my best mood right now.
My Bloggie is connected wth my computer ad my computer is connected with a 3D TV. The camera comes with a sample of a guy in bike, I was able to transfer it to PC with Sony software and that sample works perfectly with my active glasses and my 3D TV (Samsung). Like all good 3D contend that I saw, that sample has "twin" images until you activate the 3D in the TV to merge the images.
The problem is that the movies that I shoot in 3D are not in that "twin" or double format. I can see them in 3D in the LCD camera, but they are not in 3D when transferred via Sony software.
I really need some help here, I think that this matter is not that difficult to understand, but it tooks one hour for a Sony professional to say me nothing.
I already did firmware ugrade (to 1.09 first thing I did) ad I don't have any problems with other 3D contents in my TV stremed from my computer.
Thanks, I'd appreciate your help.

Hello 3D fan
Welcome to the User Discussion forums.
If your subject is moving, or is too close or too far away, then the desired 3D effect may not be produced. Any of these scenarios can cause focusing issues that interfere with the 3D effect and prevent the video from appearing to be in 3D. Also The 3D effect is not as dramatic for subjects near the edge of the frame. Therefore, it is recommended your subject be positioned in the center of the frame when recording 3D video.
Try shooting 3D video at varying distances to determine what works best for you in your shooting situation.
Also here are some Tips for capturing 3D movies.
1. Hold the camera in a horizontal position.
2. Position the subject and background within the frame of the LCD screen.
3. Pan the camera left or right slowly, while confirming the 3D effect displayed on the LCD screen.
Notes:
The Zoom and SteadyShot functions are not available while recording 3D images.
3D shooting is only available for 1920×1080 size images.
3D shooting is not possible with the 360 Video Lens (MHS-FS3K only)

Hello,

If you would like to use Bloggie Software with photos and videos previously taken and stored on your computer, click on the "Import" button located in the lower left hand corner and navigate within the Windows dialog to where your photos and videos are located.

Sony Bloggie TS20

We purchased 3 Sony Bloggie TS20.
ON the box it's says 4 hours of recording, but the fine print in the manual says - continuous recording of movies is possible for approximately 29 minutes. also recording stops automatically to prevent the file size from exceeding 2 GB.
I need the cameras to video sessions of 45-50 minutes each.
Does anyone have suggestion of some other camera with will do?   (same type as this, small, sleek and simple)
Thanks

How do I unlock iphone 5 that has been completely disabled, tried going to itunes?

How do I unlock iphone 5 that is completely disabled? It says to go to itunes, when going to itunes it says I need to have phone unlocked! Thanks!

If you mean your passcode lock:
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
If you mean unlocked from your carrier, then contact them as they are the only ones who can unlock the phone.

How do I completely disable TB's attempts to tag/flag/judge email as junk?

I don't want TB to touch my emails with ANY junk classification.
I don't want it to display 'junk' icons.
I don't want it to 'think' a message is junk mail.
How do I permanently, completely and irreversibly disable any and all code in thunderbird that messes up my precious messages and tags them as junk. I'm ok with deleting it's bs database of junk/not junk. It was worthless anyway.
I want it to go away. I never want to see any mentions of 'junk' in my thunderbird setup.
Seriously. Please stop defecating all over my email. There MUST be a way to disable this...
I've seen every google link coming up after typing 'thunderbird disable junk filtering', three pages in. Similar searches too. Any and all advice remains useless. 'Thunderbird thinks this message is junk mail.' is driving me mad.
If there's a function I need to comment out in the code, I'm OK to do it. Just please, drop me a hint, I'm desperate.
</rant>.

In addition to ensuring all your mail accounts have diabled the adaptive junk mail filtering, make sure you have also turned off adaptive junk mail controls in Local Folders > Junk Settings as well as the mail accounts.
'''re:'I can't 'empty Junk' folder as it contains valuable data ''''
I was under the impression that disabling the adaptive junk controls, stopped this filtering/checking on new incoming mail although it would not change anything currently marked as junk.
However, I'm not certain, but if there are emails marked as junk could this keep the junk settings alive? hence why I suggested you deleted/emptied the Junk and compacted that folder to rule that notion out.
Perhaps it might a good idea to put valuable emails in a suitable folder. I would not assume that a Junk folder is the best place for emails that are not Junk. Then you can clear this folder which has emails marked as junk.
when you have no emails marked as junk and the Junk folder is empty and compacted, then make sure the training.dat is empty.
'''re: $ find ~/.thunderbird -name training.dat --- returns no files. '''
If you have clicked on 'Reset Training Data' it should clear everything, but check that it is totally empty and you must have Thunderbird closed before you do any changes to the Profile folder.
Profile folders and files are hidden files, so you need to make hidden files visible first.
Select the thunderbird file and press Ctrl-H.
more info :
http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/11/how-to-show-create-hidden-files-or.html
Then when you start up Thunderbird, the Junk Controls should be completely disabled.
Just had a thought....do you have any pop mail account set up as a Global Inbox account?
If yes, disable this temporarily (set to store inside own Inbox) and then unset your Junk settings. There was a bug requiring this workaround, but it was fixed from version 17.
Close and restart Thunderbird after changing all the settings.
RE: Junk controls.
I set up my Junk controls, trained the Junk to recognise junk and not junk and have not had any issues. From my point of view it works very well.
re: To Disable or enable Thunderbird's email scam detection and warning system
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Security' > E-mail Scams tab.
Uncheck/check the box and click on OK.
You could try creating a new Profile and make sure that all the Junk Settings are not enabled from the start.
If switching off absolutely everything in all accounts, Local Folders etc still brings up the warning. please post as a bug here:

Completely DISABLE wiki in 10.6 server

I have two Xserves running as heads for our Xsan. I want to disable as many services as possible that are not needed. Anyone know how I might completely disable wiki, web, ical, ichat services altogether?

first, check that wikid is even running. use activity monitor or ps to find out.
if it is, be sure the service is disabled in server admin. if it's still running, verify that by using sudo lsof -i and looking for the python processes or teamserver.
you can try telnetting to localhost port 8086 or 8087 to see if the teamserver/wiki ports are open.
you can also use netstat to see if there are any established or otherwise connections to the ports in question.
the plist you want is probably /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.wikid.plist, though verify this is true first. i'm making an educated guess here. if everything else looks like it's off, it should be off. it won't just spring back to life.
do you have an example of the log messages related to the processes that concern you? it's possible they're just informative and not indicative of a running wiki.

Completely disable a specifict key {solved...kinda}

{Solved} ---> since i couldn't find a way to solve my problem i decided to remove the keyboard and manually cut off the connection of the key, i am glad to say it actually worked and that it seems the rest of my keyboard isn't going haywire i am a bit....dissapointed that i wasn't able to find a more....elegant way to do so (not cutting the key off, for example) but, it works.
thanks to all of you who read my post}
My keyboard's(laptop) "Left" key is broken (due to a water related incident) so i am trying to find a way to completely disable it. I kinda found one using "xmodmap -e 'keycode #=NoSignal' and that solves most of my problem, normally there are no problems and i would be able to type whatever i desire without issues. The problem arises when i have to modify some file for one reason or another from the terminal and i have to go into SU mode, it ask for a password but for some reason my left key "reactivates" it isn't actually moving my cursor but inserting some other text. It also bothers me when im trying to select something in a right click menu(or any sort of menu that allows for keyboard based selection) that has sub menus in it. I verify xev and indeed even if its not actually doing what it should (for example moving my cursor as a type) it is still stuck (aka spam as if i was holding it).
So i wonder if there is a method to completely disable my left key?
apologies for the bad grammar.

First, think really hard about why you want to disable the PK. If it turns out that you really must change the PK, then do this:
1. drop the primary key.
2. recreate the PK with the DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED clause.
This will cause the PK to be created with a non-unique index so that if you disable the PK, you will not get an ORA-1 exception. It will also defer checking and enforcing the PK until you commit. This could eliminate the need to disable/enable the PK.

COMPLETELY Disable Protected View in Excel 2010

I am currently running Excel 2010 Standard. In our environment we have an AS400 that can create Excel files (97-2003 format) that earlier versions of Excel would open without an issue. With Excel 2010 I am unable to open the file, even though
I've unchecked all of the Protected View settings. Is there anyway to disable all of the protected view options from ever running? I understand it's a security thing, but it is causing more issues in my environment than preventing.

Yes I know I was in protected view. It's pretty obvious when you're in there. I even turned off DEP just to make sure it wasn't intefering. Just for your edification I've included links to three screenshots. One showing protected
view, COMPLETELY turned off, followed by a screenshot of a file being BLOCKED by PROTECTED VIEW, then followed up with what shows on the details page.
http://www.visionsrealm.us/images/proview/ProtectedView.jpg
http://www.visionsrealm.us/images/proview/ProtectedView2.jpg
http://www.visionsrealm.us/images/proview/ProtectedView3.jpg
Before you ask I have saved the file from my email to a folder within my documents. So not only was it removed from email, to prevent the issue of opening in protected view because it was from Outlook. But I also made sure that it was in a trusted
location.
Now tell me, if it is COMPLETELY turned off, why is my file being BLOCKED?
Like my question said before, where else do I need to go to COMPLETELY disable protected view.

Completely disable SMS for my Skype online number....

I don't want to pay for SMS messages when people should be emailing me anyway. How can I completely disable SMS for my account so that no one can send me texts? Thanks!

I too would like to disable this "feature" as I don't use it, nor want it.
Just yesterday, my Microsoft keyboard malfunctioned and sent a burst of SMS messages through Skype until it drained my account which contained the default $5.00 credit when I signed up. I don't particularly care about the $5.00, but I'm annoyed that by dumb luck the feature sent these messages to my director (various quantities of 1s) and about 45 of them. The only thing that stopped sending the messages was that my account ran out of money. Good thing that it's not configured for auto-recharge. I have another Skype account with money in it and to prevent a similar occurrence in that account, I'm now going to dump the credit by texting myself. In texting myself because my cell phone has unlimited texting it at least will not cost me more money.
Depending on whether or not he has a text messaging plan on his phone this could create a nice little charge.
We need to have the ability to block SMS messages just as we can with our mobile phones.
