Sony minidv cameras and intel macbook stop talking after firmware update

i think there must be an issue with a driver conflict between sony's camcorders and the latest intel firmware update. three sony mini dv cameras fail to be recognized by final cut pro or imovie. i have no such issue with canon minidv cameras. any info on where to get an updated driver? sony doesn't seem to support anything other than microsoft systems. thanks in advance.

Try resetting the PRAM:

Oh and tell Sony the next time they tell you they don't support Mac that the following is true:
1. Their president came to Macworld 2004 to introduce new products for the Mac and a collaboration with Apple. I was there and saw it.
2. Their music is being sold by the iTunes Music Store
3. They have Apple to thank for iLink, as iLink is actually Firewire.
Suggest to them to reconsider their position. As Mac users won't support them if they won't support Mac users.

  • Editing tools and search option stopped working after IOS Update

    Hi All,
    Since the last IOS & Adobe Reader Update I have been unable to edit or search within existing PDF using the Adobe Reader iPad App.   I have noticed the document now shows as protected on the Iphone Adobe Reader App but does not give me any option to unprotect it.  Please bear in mind I have been editing this document for over 6 months now and the document shows my previous annotations.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? 
    Many thanks
    S

    Hi Sue,
    Yes, we received your PDF document via email.  Thank you!
    I can confirm the following:
    Your PDF document is not encrypted or locked by password.
    This is a defect in Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.4 (or possibly all 11.6.x versions) for the particular type of PDF documents like yours. (The problem does not happen with all PDF documents.) The tools/areas that are affected by the defect: Search, text selection, text markup annotations (highlight, strikeout, and underline).  However, you can still add other types of annotations, namely sticky notes, free text, and freehand drawing, to the PDF document.
    The defect has already been fixed in our internal build for a future release.  (I was able to add highlight/strikeout/underline and search text in your PDF document.) Unfortunately, I am not able to speculate on the next release date.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. We hope that you switch back to Adobe Reader for iOS once the defect is fixed. 
    Thank you for reporting the problem!

  • Expantion module stopped working after firmware update to uc520

    I have recently upgraded my UC520 to software pack 8.2, and since then, the expansion module(7916 24 key) connected to the Cisco IP phone 7965 has stopped working. It just has the Cisco logo and all buttons are lit orange.  I have already tried to reflash the software(ensureing to select support for all phones and the expansion module), clearing all settings, deleteing the phone that its attached to in the CCA, rebooted phone several times, removed expansion copletly and reinstalled.  Any idea what may of caused this or how to resolve the issue?

    zap pram and do a reset of nvram and all in open firmware. Also reset the power manager.
    if you don't know how to do it then do a search as Apple's Support site.

  • MG5550 printer stopped working after firmware update!!!

    My MG5550 is only a couple of weeks old and has been working perfectly up until now.   I got a couple of reminders to up date the firmware to the latest version.
    I followed the instructions and the down load completed and I got a message saying update successful but when I tried to print a document in my useual way it refused to print.   No error message was shown on the printer.  I rebooted both printer and laptop a couple of times but to no avail.
    Got couple of messages on laptop saying 'printer busy' and 'no communication with printer'.
    I'm useing Win 7, connection is via WIFI, printer firmware is now 3.080
    Help please I urgently need to print some docs.

    It seem to have sorted itself out.    When it I could not get it to work I eventually gave up in disgussed.   To my surprise when I switched it on a couple of days later, it printed the page I was attepting to print and since then it has been OK.   No sure what happened to fix it may have been something to do with a reboot.
    I dont think this printer is as good as my previous Canon 4300 but having the scanner/copier on board is really useful.   Find the paper feed is not very reliable where as the 4300 never ever missed a sheet.

  • The keyboard and mouse have stopped 'talking' to the computer. New batteries in both units. Can't write, e-mail, text etc. What do I do next?

    The keyboard and mouse have stopped 'talking' to the computer - cursors do not move in response to mouse, right and left clicks do not register and typing does not happen.. Batteries have been replaced on both. The computer seems to be working normally in all other respects. The little green 'on' lights on both the mouse and keyboard light up for ~10 seconds,blink for about 20 seconds, and then go out. Computer shut down and restart did not change the situation. What's next?

    Get a wired keyboard and mouse for times like these, also to perform at boot keyboard commands in emergencies.

  • Sony handy cam and iMac

    Hi.  I am a fairly new iMac user.  I have a Sony handy cam and my daughter has a canon video camera.  Both are fairly new.  Is there a way to get the videos onto the iMac with the memory card or USB?  Unfortunately the cameras were bought before the computer-I never would have thought Sony wouldn't be compatible with a Mac.  Thanks for any help!

    What is the specific model of camera and how are you connecting it (Firewire or USB)? What version of Mac OS X are you running? And what capture application are you using, iMovie or something else?
    BTW: Since you're new to the Discussions, here are some general tips for getting the most from the forums:
    - For future question posts, please fill in the Apple ID Preferences in your Discussions Profile with complete information about your system (exact model, RAM, hard drive space, OS and level, etc.). Then be sure to check the Show information about your computer box below the text input field when you create a message. If you have more than one type of system, include the same information as appropriate to the system you're asking about in the body of your post. By providing complete information on your system, others will be better equipped to help you resolve problems.
    - Please be sure to read the forum FAQs and do a search for your topic both in the KnowledgeBase and in the Discussions forums (try at least a couple of different keywords) to see if your question has already been addressed before you post a new question. It may save you waiting time, and will help keep the forums from getting cluttered with redundant posts.

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Close those affected apps and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

  • Went to install os mavericks and got this message: MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 need. tried that and got: This update requires Mac OS X 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later, please advise.

    OK. Now, you say you got this alert through App Store when trying to download Mavericks or after you downloaded it and were trying to install it? Which is the correct case?
    The error you are getting may sometimes occur when the computer has already been updated, but I don't know why you would be getting this message. I can only suggest that you take it in for service to find out why this is happening.
