Sony Handycam Mpeg2 won't work on Mac

Hello
I am hoping you can help me as I recently upgraded to Lion and I can't get my videos from my camcorder to work on my Mac. I have a Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 and before the upgrade (when I had Snow Leopard) I was able to import my vidoes (I think they are mpeg 2) to iMovie and have them look and sound just fine.
But I had issues with my laptop overheating (unrealted to my camera) so the Apple store wiped my laptop clean. When I got it back I upgraded to Lion and slowly put my system back together. I just tried to use iMovie to view my vidoes on my laptop (from the camera). I can see them but I can't hear them (there is no audio).
Quicktime won't even recognize them. It's telling me that the files are not supported.
I am running OS 10.7.4 and Quicktime player 10.1
Any help you can provide would be wonderful! I really want to be able to see AND hear my videos on my Mac and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it!
Thanks
Alison

Sorry, I should have checked before I answered. Apple lists these camcorders as compatible with imovie...
I don't know why your camcorder no longer works.

New version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of potential disasters.
To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

GoDaddy won't work in Mac Mail

Hi guys,
mac Mail is doing my head in!!! I launched a website for my business using GoDaddy as my hosting and I'm trying to add my account to mail but nothing works. I've been on the phone to godly and they went through all possible solutions and came to the conclusion its an apple problem. They said apple mail might have a specific port that I need to use for an external client or something like that? Anyone got any help? I can;t get a hold of anyone from apple, their support is useless unless you pay for it!!

I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

Sony Handycam HD won't connect

My new Sony DCR-SR42 won't connect to my
iMac 5.1 with Intel 2GB 667mhz, 2GB RAM; OSX 10.49
Reading on the Sony site it says I "might" be able to connect via
iLife 08. (I have iLife 06)
The iLife 08 requires 733mhz.
Has anyone had success using the new handycam HD's with their Mac? I'd be hapy to just connect and download files as mpg...
Help Please! I'd do summersalts over any ideas!

If you have an Intel iMac, iLife 08 will work. I think the 667mhz you are referring to is the memory speed, not the processor speed. The memory speed is not relevant for whether your camera will work.
Your camera MIGHT work with iMovie 08. It is not on the supported list, but several Sony standard def hard drive cameras are supported.
Even if you can't make it work directly to iMovie 08, you can try attaching your camera to the Mac via the USB cable. If your Mac sees the camera as an external hard drive in the finder, then you have some more options.
You can move the MPEG2 files onto a folder on your Mac. From here, you need to convert them into a format supported by either iMovie 08 (h.264, dv, or aic) or to a format supported by iMovie 06 (which you have already) which is dv.
To convert them, you can use MPEG Streamclip (free), but you will also need to install the Quicktime MPEG2 Playback component ($20). Let MPEG Streamclip convert the files from MPEG2 to dv, and you should be able to edit them on your iMovie 6.

External Toshiba drive won't work on Mac after using on PC

My Toshiba External USB drive stopped working on my Mac air after I downloaded some files on a PC. It worked numerous times on the PC and then I brought it back home to use on Mac. Now, it won't show up on finder but can be found on Disk utility. I cannot manually mount it there. Repair disk and verify seem to finish but still won't mount. It was originally formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The PC did not prompt me to re-format or do anything to the Hard drive.
How can I get it to work on Mac again?
Thank you.

Good day haynechi,
If your external hard drive will not mount on your MacBook Air but it will show up in Disk Utility, you may need to erase the hard drive in order to get it to show up on the Mac again. NOTE - this process will destroy any data on the drive, so be sure you have anything on there backed up somewhere else before you begin!
Use the steps in this article -
Disk Utility 12.x: Erase a disk, CD, or DVD
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

Hi there,
I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
I've done the following, but it still won't work:
1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
Best Regards,
A new Walcom user in desperate

I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try. Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
Once the software is removed, restart the computer
Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

Audio interface console (app) won't work on Mac Pro

Hello there!
I just bought a new Mac Pro and did a clean install of all my apps. Everything seems to be working fine except one thing: my audio interface's console.
I'm using an Audiofire 4 interface, which has little physical controls on it. I've been using its console software on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro to control it. Last night I installed the software from the CD on the Mac Pro and it won't work!
I launch the application from my home folder on my boot disk (SSD). I also tried installing it on the data HDD and still no luck: when I try to launch it it closes immediately. All my macs are on the same version of SN so that shouldn't be the problem.
Anyone has a few ideas? I use my computer a lot for music so this has to work or I may have to return to the iMac...
Thanks in advance!

Update: this morning I installed the Audiofire Console successfully on my Windows partition (on another hard drive). I then came back to OSX (on my SSD) and this time the app, instead of immediately opening and closing, beachballed the whole system. The console gave me this:

Trial download won't work on Mac

I'm trying to download the Muse trial version onto my Mac but it won't work. I get the following error message:
"You are running an operating system that Muse no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms."
Is there any way to work around this? I'm currently using Mac OS X 10.6.8
Thanks!

My volume won't work on mac pro

My volume won't work on my Macbook Pro. The button works and I can see the volume being turned up/down, but no sound comes out! I tried everything in the volume section of System Preferences. Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks!

Try a PRAM reset:
If no success, look in the audio output port. If there is a red light, the internal switch is stuck. Insert the headphione jack a few times and see if that will trip the switch.
Ciao.

Wi-Fi won't work when mac restarted after connecting Samsung Galaxy s3 via USB

I've been having this problem for a few months now, and it's stopping me from syncing my Samsung Galaxy s3 (I changed from iPhone and expect responses telling me to go back, but that's not helpful right now).
1.) I have Wi-Fi connection working fine on my mac,
2.) Connect Galaxy s3 to sync it with Kies, - WIFI working fine on mac still however notice Samsung modem connection appears in my network connections on mac.
3.) Remove Galaxy s3 and at some point in the next few days reboot my mac.
4.) Wifi is automatically switched off, when turned on, can't find any networks. Forcing me to go to network connections, make the wifi service in-active and then click apply, then remove the service all-together and click apply. Then reboot my mac and create a new wi-fi connection into my network connections to finally get wi-fi to work again. Wi-Fi automatically connects back to my wifi network.
I'm sick of doing this every time I connect my phone. Mountain Lion 10.8.2, MacBook (alluminium unibody) 8gb ram, 2.4 ghz core2Duo.
Any ideas how to prevent the samsung creating it's own modem in my network connections?
Anyone with similar set up experiencing the same problem?
Thanks
Matt

Try accessing the router through your favorite Web Browser and enabling Wi-Fi through there. The Wi-FI should be enabled by default on this router.
Web Admin: http://192.168.1.1/
The default login should be one of the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
admin/verizon
admin/verizon1
If the username and password is admin/password, the modem will ask you to change at least the password to something else. Once in, you should be able to check the Wi-Fi settings and network name. Finally, once you've saved the settings, take a backup of the modem's configuration file if possible, and then reboot the modem to ensure the settings stick.
As a note, I strongly suggest using WPA2-PSK AES Encryption as the only form of encryption. Mixed mode or WEP can cause issues, especially with Apple Devices, and presents a security risk to the network. Also as a note, make sure SSID Broadcasting is enabled for the ActionTec. Otherwise, you won't see the name by simply scanning for it, and will have to manually enter in the name of the network.

Shockwave won't work on Mac Yosemite

I've downloaded shockwave player to be able to use a CD-ROM that came with a college textbook for class. Sadly, after the cd-rom is inserted I get a message saying "Adobe Shockwave Player is required to display some of the elements on this page."
Yes, I've gone through chrome://plug-ins and tried enabling and disabling shockwave. That doesn't work.
Yes, I've reset my mac.
Yes, I've restarted my mac.
Yes, I've restarted chrome and safari.
I've googled everywhere and youtube'd everywhere for an answer but all I can find is the same old answers and a whole pile of rants from people having similar issues.
Please tell me something new. No, a magic wand won't help.
Best Regards,
Zahra

Hi, Pwillener-
Yes I've installed it
I did find a short term solution (with flaws, of course). I've contacted the maker of my CD ROM and took screenshots of every process from downloading shockwave to actually installing...
He worked me through trying to make it compatible for Safari.
Best thing to do is contact the maker of the CD ROM if anyone else has problems because information is limited on adobe's website and apple won't help with third party applications (been there, done that too).
And forget GeekSquad- That's $99USD down start up fee and $10USD a month... not guaranteeing they will fix the problem. I've heard they accidentally erase vital information on people's computers before and never fix it. That wasn't an option for me.
So to be short and sweet, anyone that has trouble with Shockwave not working with Yosemite 10.10.2 or later, contact the maker of the software that requires Shockwave.
It's still very glitchy and dysfunctional for me, but it works.
Thanks for your quick response though

Cinema Display 24" won't work with Mac Mini 3.1

I recently purchased a refurbished Apple LED Cinema Display 24" from a buddy. I'm pairing it with my used Mac Mini 3.1 (2009?). The display port mini connections seem to match. The USB is plugged in. The only cable unused is the "macbook power" plug, from the display. I know the display and CPU both work fine independently. Cinema display seems to power the USB and "Macbook power". I just can't get any life out of the display. These 2 devices should work together right? Is there a sceret power-button that I don't know about?

The video cards that ship with the current Pro have one Display Port and one mini DVI port.
There is an adapter to connect a DVI monitor to a Display Port connection. There is no such thing as an adaptor that will let you connect a Display Port equipped monitor to a mini DVI port on the graphics card.
Final Cut Pro uses dual monitors connected to the same graphics card. Using a twin graphics card setup causes problems with FX Plug FCP plugins, which can cause FCP to fail to launch.
The solution is to find a Graphics card with dual Display Port connectors, (if one even exists) or replace it with a grahics card that uses dual DVI ports, such as the ATI 3870 HD. Of course, the latter means that you cannot connect two 24" Apple Cinema Displays.
