SOS Capture issue selects webcam not camcorder mac

Sorry to beat a dead horse if this has been posted already but I ran into an issue while capturing some videos. I currently am trying to use two cameras to capture some videos, GL2 and XH-A1, while connecting to Premier however the webcam is selected as the capture source and will only record that image not the camcorder. I have a firewire hooked up and when I operate the controls for the camera at the bottom it plays the camcorder but it still captures the webcam image not the camcorder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK so thanks to the guys above the posted there replies but I finally figured out what the deal was with the capture select issue. Like most video editing software you can change the source that you are capturing from. The problem that was really strange though was that I could still operate the camera through the fire wire (rewind, fast-forward pause, ect.) but the image that it would capture was from the webcam not the camcorder.
After messing with it for a while I found a solution. For those that have a Mac and are running into this problem here is how to go about selecting the correct source for capture. Apparently by default the webcam will automatically start up when you select the capture option.
When you select the capture option you will be presented with this screen start by selecting this video button.
Next you will see this screen select the source button on top.
Next you will need to select your DV Video. Currently in this screen I do not have my camera hooked up so the option is greyed out and not selectable. However when hooked up it will turn black like the Built-in iSight option.
As previously stated by default the iSight camera is selected which is why I kept capturing the webcam and not my camcorder.
Well I hope this helps out to anyone else who has a macbook.
The only issue I have with this is why do they put the option to switch sources in such an obscure place? Other editing programs I've worked with have a button right below or to the side of the play and record buttons that say source. Adobe I love you but could you make CS5 a little bit easier and user friendly?

Adobe Connect Webcam "Zooming" issue on PC NOT on MAC HELP??

Hi All,
So this is about the resolution of the webcam and it "auto" zooming when the webcam window is reduced.
ie.. I have a 480p camera and when the video window is large (approx a quarter of screen real-estate) all is fine. As i reduce the window or ad more cams from other presenters the image is cropped to just the centre 280p . rather than just reducing the window size it reduces the images size as well. So a head shot turns into an extreme close up!
This issue does not happen on a mac.
Both are using the adobeconnectaddin and are up to date with flash etc.
Any ideas?

Have you ever received any information to help in regard to this problem? I'm looking for similar "fixes" for LiveCycle Designer forms to work on a Mac.
Since Firefox is now a Mac browser would your idea of coding work in that? If so I'd love to learn how!
Thanks,

Tethered capture issues-5D Mark II a Mac OS 10.6.8

I've been shooting tethered for some time, and have never had an issue.
I'm in the middle of a shoot, have been shooting for about 3 days (obviously, not conistenly) and now, seemingly out of no where, no matter what I do Lightroom keeps saying 'No Camera Detected'.
I'm shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II and running Mac OS 10.6.8 and Lightroom 3.6.
I have tried everything on this list:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89486.html
Including trashing my preferances file!
Still nothing. I am completely out of ideas. HELP!!!

Tethered in LR doesn't work great with the 5D on mac in my experience but it should re-detect after a restart at least. Did you switch cables recently? I have 3 USB cables but only one of them works well. Now I use an amplified cable if I need any length more than 1.5 meters.
I don't know what to suggest other than that. I myself stopped using LR to tether a 5D2 with a Mac because, to put it crudely, it's crap with absolutely no consistency.
Now I use C1 Pro with no issues whatsoever, it never fails me and no embarrassing annoyances anymore.

Microphone and Webcam not working/Webcam not recognized by YouCam

Hello,
I have a dv7-6c95dx and my YouCam program tells me that it does not recognize my integrated webcam. I have read all of the webcam forums on this site and clicked on all of the links people have posted in the forums. I have uninstalled the CyberLink YouCam program and it still comes up with the same messages. The webcam also does not show up in my device manager. The microphone is malfunction as well, it will not work any any programs including skype.
I have heard that the webcam can come unplugged internally, will that also cause the microphone to stop working? I have run out of options and I do not want to pay anyone to fix it. I would appreciate any advice on this subject.

10.8 - image capture - "import to" does not allow to select a program

Hi,
after updating to 10.8 I was hoping that my problem with 10.7.4 and Image Capture would be solved but it persist and additionaly has removed all my setings.
When Image Capture shows the pictures of my iPhone I select some pictures and go to "Import To Other".
That will open the "Open" dialog with all Programs/Applications on my Mac, but all Programs/Applications are grayed out.
Until 10.7.3 one was able to select any program to send the pictures to it like Evernote, ExifRenamer, etc.
Anyone else has the same issue?
Regards, Carsten

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Hi Dominic,
My problem is essentially as stated.
I down loaded a trial copy of Contribute 6.5 to my Mac which has 10.5.8
As this will not support Contribute 6.5 I transferred to download, to
my laptop which has 10.6
It would not install. I wass advised to download Adobe Advisor, which
I did and it reported "no issues"
How should I proceed?
Thanks

MacBook Air, Mid2013, MacOS 10.9.2; I tried to erase the HD of my Mac; Apple Support suggested restarting the computer pressing cmd R, then select "Utility Disk", then Mac HD, choose "Erase", the option "Security Options" should be available, it was not

MacBook Air, Mid2013, MacOS 10.9.2
I tried to erase the HD of my Mac; Apple Support suggested to restart the computer pressing cmd + R, then select "Utility Disk", then Mac HD, and choose "Erase", the option "Security Options" should be available, but it was not
I was able to erase the disk and reinstall the OS but not to choose the option to overwrite the disk, as the official Apple Support said previously.
I called again them, this time I was said that with an SSD disk the security option (overwrite the disk) is not available, and that is it, no way out; and they added very kindly that if I sell my Mac, the buyer could bring it to a Tech Center and they could eventually recover the data on it, even though this may be expensive
Is there anyone that has any suggestion to protect the data before selling a Mac; the guys at Apple Official Support did not seem very concerned about this

I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

Getting error code 2 and also "selected driver not found (-10202)" when trying to change output/input in garage band. Driver issue?

Garage band newbie here...Been trying to record using PreSonus as my interface..having nothing but problems when I try to bring up
garageband. Multible restarts did help at first but now I can get no sound and cant seem to load the drivers at all in output/input...any help with this problem?

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
I got it!!! Yes!!!
Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
That's the clue!
When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
I hope I can help all of you.
Regards,
Renato Veiga.

ISync will not start with error "Could not retrieve .Mac config"

iSync fails when run from .Mac System Preferences with message
"There was a problem with the sync operation
Could not retrieve .Mac configuration."
However, Backup and iDisk access are successfull.
Dual G5 Etc. Mac OS X (10.4.7)

iSync does not run from a System Preferences pane, but .Mac Sync does.
This is actually a .Mac Sync issue, not an iSync issue. Since the release of Mac OS X 10.4 about 19 months ago, the synchronization of selected content to and through .Mac has been the responsibility of .Mac Sync. You may want to post you query here, instead:

Is iSight the BEST webcam available for Macs?

Can anyone tell me if iSight is really the best webcam for the Mac? Assuming I find the appropriate 3rd party software to support it, is there a better webcam available?
Also, my Digital Video Camcorder does will not work for this purpose.
Thanks!

Hi Matt:
Interestingly, a number of folks have been asking the same question lately. You may want to review the many posts in this forum. I think they will be quite helpful. As always, if you need anything specfic, let us know!

No webcams working on Mac Pro, happened suddenly, need troubleshooting.

I have had a Logitech C910 webcam and a Mac Pro (Early 2008) for years. They both worked well together. The Logitech C910 worked out of the box as I recall. I have been using it for Messages and Facetime, and both video and audio have worked. A few weeks back, I was trying to determine options for screencasting a webinar. I installed GoToMeeting and tried it out, as well as join.me. I installed and uninstalled a few others that I can't recall.
At some point during this, my webcam simply stopped working for video. It still works as a microphone, but Facetime shows no video, and Messages says "no camera is connected."
- I tried resetting SMC. It didn't work.
- I have restarted many times.
- Repaired disk permissions many times.
- I tried reinstalling Mavericks (the way that preserves your data and files, just reinstalls the OS). Didn't help.
- In "System Report" it is listed there under USB.
- Webcam works when I reboot into Boot Camp (Windows 7) meaning the webcam is fine.
- I tried "sudo killall VDCAssistant" as suggested here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4158054?start=15&tstart=0
- If I plug in my old iSight firewire, the OS won't detect it for Facetime but it will for Messages.
I am at wits end. It appears that something I did is causing a driver conflict or erased a neccesary driver. However, I would think one of the solutions above would have worked and it hasn't. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

I used Carbon Copy Cloner. I swapped it into the main bay, enabled Screen Sharing and can confirm it works 100%. I also swapped my old dying drive that came with the system which was 10.5.x still and no such luck either.
I tried pulling all drives and putting the disc in, but I don't see how that is going to help unfortunately since I can't see what is going on with no display.
I tried the reset, although I have been unplugging it everyday all week overnight.
I have thought about running Windows again, but it's not really needed right now. I just need Mac to run for the immediate future.
I don't think there is a problem with the RAM. I looked at them and they appear to be fine. They also show up fine in System Profiler and when Screen Sharing, the computer and programs seem to run as they should.
So, I guess, in the end it must just be a video card issue. I hope. I'll look into buying a new card, whether a 2600 or 5770 and see if I can get the display back. If not, then I guess it's a problem with the the logic board which of course would not make sense to replace anymore cause of cost.
Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.
