Sony HC39E - problem connecting
Wondering if anyone can help...?
According to the compatible list my handycam isn't compatible with a Mac. However, I received feedback from another user confirming that this model Sony will infact download footage to a Mac with a firewire cable...
I'm new to Macs and Apple in general, so finding this simple requirement quite a challenge especially since just finding out that posts get removed from file... so can't track back to that person who gave me advise.
Anyway, I now have a firewire cable which I bought on ebay. This plugs into the DV out port on the camera dock and obviously in firewire on the Mac. The Mac still doesn't register anything... So I'm a bit lost now and in need of some help as I don't know if there's something wrong with the cable... Apple support were of limited help before due to the model not being on their list.
Hoping someone out there can help...
Look forward to hearing back...
Many thanks
Kirsten
Kirsten, sorry to see that you havent resolve with connecting your camera to your computer.
The iLink cable is a firewire cable. Thats correct.
ANyway, this may be or may not be hardware problem. There is a thread on camera recognition problems due to Quicktime 7.
Bob Sidebotham, "Solution to camera recognition problems after upgrades.", 07:11pm Jun 15, 2005 CDT
But first you have to find out if your firewire cable is the culprit. Do you have another firewire cable to test?
I had exactly this same problem with camera recognition on both my Powerbook and my G5 desktop. & I thought it was my cable too.
I just had to delete my Quicktime reciepts and then re-install Quicktime.
Heres how,

I also strongly suggest that you get the latest updates of FCP 5.0.3 and the latest Quicktime 7.0.3. and even Tiger 10.4.3
Hope this helps...
Hang in there...:)

Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?
You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked. -
Problems connecting iMac and iWire to Sony PlayStation 3
Hi. Simple issue. I cannot for the life of me get my Sony PS3 to connect to my iWire local network at home, which otherwise I've never had any problems with.
When I go through the (simple) setup procedure on the PlayStation, it locates my network, then asks me for my WLAN Key Settings, giving me the options of None, WEP and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. I try entering my iWire password into the system as a WEP key (which I think is right), then it says it's not recognised and prompts me to put in hexadecimal settings (?). I try the same thing on the WPA option, again, it doesn't work. I've also tried putting in my Airport Express password, see if that changes anything, but it doesn't
I couldn't see a topic heading on this subject heading through a search, so forgive me if it's already been answered elsewhere. Anyway, I'm stumped, so if anyone's connected successfully, could they share how they did it and what exactly a WEP key is! [Incidentally, I posted this earlier, but I believe in the wrong section]Thanks. My Airport Express is providing the wireless network - and on my Playstation, it comes up as Robert's Wireless Network (what I've called my AE network) and I put in what I know is the correct password for that network, but it comes up as unrecognised, even though I'm sure I've put in the correct word. So, if as you say I'm doing the right thing, then maybe I'm entering the information wrong, or need to add something to my standard WEP password?

Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank youLately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV. -
Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.
I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
TonyFirst I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

I have a MBP Retina LCD (resolution 2880x1800) and in the office I use it with a Monitor Sony LMD-2450W connected by VGA. After installing 10.9.2 the resolution in the monitor has been downsized to 4:3 (and 1280x960) instead of its 16:9 display. Anyone know how can I change the resolution manually?
Display shows only 3 different resolution if I choose "scaled" but none use the full area of the monitor.
Thank you
MarcoThis has been an ongoing problem with external monitors that predates 10.9.2. I wrote various tips on different methods here, though the best is probably the hot corner one:

Problems connecting a SE P1i to an OS X IMAP server
I just got a brand new Sony Ericsson P1i. I got it working no problem with .mac mail, however, I am having problems connecting via SSL with the server refusing to accept user name and password (that's the error message on the phone).
In the logs, I found the following entry:
"starttls: TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication."
When going through the logs, I notice, that the typical SSL is using 128bits.
I am kind of stuck. Not surprisingly, the nice people at SE couldn't help so far.
Thanks
LaneHere is how to configure .mac mail on your P1i:
1.) go to -> Main Menu -> Control Panel -> Messaging -> Email Accounts
2.) either select your previously set up .mac mail or go to More and choose New Account
3) Enter the following details under the Basic tab:
Account Name: "[email protected]"
Your Name: "Your Name"
Email address: "[email protected]"
Connection Type: IMAP
Click on Inbox tab
Incoming server address: "mail.mac.com"
Username: "yourdotmacusernamen"
Password: "..."
Receive using group: "Preferred Group" this is where you get your internet connection from
Outbox tab
Outgoing server address: "smtp.mac.com"
tick Use smtp authentication
tick Use Inbox login details
Click on More
click on Advance
Inbox tab
Secure connection: "SSL"
Incoming mail port: "993"
I hope this helps.
Let me know.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?
I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

Problems connecting multiple macs to an Airport Extreme network.
I think this problem is similar to a previous post, but is individual in some ways.
I have 2 Airport Extreme basestations covering a large flat connected by Ethernet extending a single network. I did try to extend the network wirelessly, but this was plagued with problems where the network would work for 10 mins, then drop out as I think the basestations are slightly too far apart.
Connected to the network are a number of machines:
Wirelessly we have 3x iPhones, 1x G4 Cube, 1x iMac (current model), 2x MacBook Pro (previous model) & 1x PC.
Wired via a hub is an Apple TV, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Denon Home Cinema Amp, PS2
For aprox 6 months I have had major problems connecting all the wireless machines at the same time. I have played around with the security as per previous posts with varying degrees of success.
I seem to have the most problems with the iMac. The iMac will not join the network when there is any form of wireless security. Every time I try to set up a password it hangs when trying to join and I finally get the "There was a error joining xxxx network".
After more playing around I managed to get all the machines working by having no security on the network and locking the network down by MAC addresses.
Since last Thursday I now have a new problem. The iMac joins and stays on the network perfectly, but the second my second MacBook Pro is switched on and joins the network, the internet connection on the iMac drops out. In addition, as we use the iMac as a media server, all other machines connected to the iMac for either file sharing or iTunes sharing then get the error "the remote machine is failing to respond. Please check firewall settings if there are any". What is strange is that the iMac remains on the network, full signal, independent IP address and the second the MacBook Pro is switched off, works perfectly again.
I have tried wiping both the iMac & the MacBook Pro and re-installing their operating systems, but this only solves the problem for aprox 24 hours then all of a sudden the issue re-appears.
Can anyone out there help?Let's double-check the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, check the following settings:
AirPort > Base Station
o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
AirPort > Wireless

o Network Name: <existing AEBSn's wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>

o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.
They are correct. The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps. Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum. Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?
I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon. -
Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector
One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?
