Trouble connection to camcorder
I have FC Express and a Canon XHA1s camcorder. I have connected up the camcorder and my my MacBook Pro to each other with the FireWire cable and set in the easy setup
Easy Setup configuration
Format: HD
Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
There is no connection happening
I cannot control from within FC Express or even when I activate the camcorder I cannot see anything on the screen.
Have you verified that you actually shot HDV 50i?
Make sure that on your camera, the menu setting HD down-conv is set to OFF.
If you have done all these things, and still do not connect, have you tried trashing your FCE preferences, which may be corrupted (particularly if you have been making setting changes with the camera connected to the computer)?
Download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and use it to trash your FCE preferences, They will be set to default settings the next time you launch FCE.

i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?
Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo -
I have a film project for school and I offered to edit our footage. The camera is a Canon ZR 500, and I have the correct FireWire cable, and the cable for the camera itself is an IEEE 1384. When I hook it to my MacBook Pro, nothing happens, and when I open iMovie, I'm not sure how to retrieve the footage. This is my first time trying to use iMovie (at all) so I would appreciate some advice. Thanks!
Hello, Kenneth,
For first timers, Apple has a good tutorial that might be helpful to get you started. Look a href="http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html">here If you are planning to use iDVD, have a look at its tutorial, also.
But, first, you need to connect the camcorder properly. Some companies (Sony for one) call their Firewire links IEEE so you are ok with the cable you have. Put it from the camcorder directly into your computer. You are right, when you first connect it nothing will happen....you need to open a new iMovie project, turn on the connected camera, being sure it is in VTR mode. You should then see a blue screen in iMovie and have a button that says 'import.' Click on that, and the movie should start importing from your camcorder. You can stop and start the importing as you wish. When the movie is loaded into iMovie, you can start editing your clips.
You should option-click on a clip and drag it down to the timeline. That will move a copy to the time line, leaving the original on the clips pane. Drag all the clips you want in the movie into the timeline. Then select each clip in turn and begin your editing. Be sure to save often.
The timeline can be viewed in two ways: Clips view and timeline view. The clips view is easier to see for editing the clips. The timeline view shows three tracks: one is your video and two are audio tracks into which you can add music/audio clips.
You can add titles, transitions, effects, to your clips.
When you are finished editing and your movie is complete, you will need to save it and then export it for whatever form is your desired final result.
If you want to make it into a DVD, close iMovie, open iDVD, create your project and drag your movie into iDVD from the 'media' ->'movies' panes in iDVD. When you are satisfied with your iDVD project, save it 'as disk image' and you can burn your DVDs from the disk image using Disk Utility.
You could also export your movie back to DV tape in your camcorder using iMovie's 'Share' command.
You can export it as QuickTime movie for web use, emailing, etc.
What you do depends on what outcome you want.
This is just a very quick sketch of how it works. Check out the tutorials and then get started. Post back if you run into trouble. Have fun! -
Communications error when connection my camcorder
I am having trouble downloading my movie tapes to the iMac. I use a canon mvx460 camcorder .When I connect the camcorder to the iMac, it recognises the camcorder. I can make the camcorder play the tape from the imac but does not generate a picture. Then after a few minutes I get 'communications error' displayed. Sometimes i can connect but stops within a few minutes. I removed the imovie plist to another location but still no joy.
On the Macbook pro I have no trouble although it runs on lion but still has imovie 8.
I have just installed iMovie '11 on the iMac as I thought it was iMovie 8 that was giving me trouble with Lion, but it has made no difference.

im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!
I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck. -
Trouble connecting macbook to N600
We just connected a E2500-NP using a macbook. All of our other devices (iphone, itouches, nexus, PC) connect and run at regular speed. My macbook (the one used to install the router) connects but loads web pages incredibly slowly. We reinstalled the old router to see if there was a problem with the macbook. It loads webpages at normal speed with old router. The nexus and itouches have trouble connecting with old router. The macbook is connected to this website with no problem but if I try to do a search on something else it loads incredibly slowly.
Please help!!How did you connect the macbook computer? Is it through hardwired or wireless connection? You can adjust the router’s mtu – by using this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re... – if the concern is regarding the router’s hardwired connection. You can also use this link: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to help determine the best channel to be set on the router and to improve the router’s wireless performance.

Trouble Connecting MacBook to Netgear WGT624
Hello, I just got a MacBook and am having trouble connecting to my netgear WGT624 wireless router. We've had the router for some time with a PC connected via ethernet. This is the first time trying to connect wirelessly.
I click on System Preferences.
Then Network.
Then Connect.
Under the Network drop down menu, I have two Network choices available...our router's name, and another name, probably a nearby wireless router.
When I choose our router, I get the pinwheel thingy spinning around, and then a message: "There was an error joining the AirPort network "router name here."
When I click on the other nearby network name, I get connected, and the signal strength is 4 out of 15.
What do I need to do to connect to my home's wireless router?No need to re-install software. There should be a reset button or hole somewhere on the router. Either press the button or use a paper clip inside the hole for about 10 seconds. This should reset your router to all the default settings.
From there, once you log onto your router's setup screen, you will need to put in your regular settings (username, password, security settings, etc.). If you use security, your neighbor should not be able to access to your wireless connection.
Good Luck.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?
Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this. -

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer
So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!
Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything. -
Trouble connecting new iMac to exisiting PC/Linksys network
I just bought a new iMac and am having trouble connecting to my existing Linksys wireless network. My PC connects wirelessly fine, and the iMac connects if I use the Ethernet connection. However, it says I have "Incompatible Security" when I try to use the built-in Airport wireless connection.
My network is WEP encrypted. I use one of the encryption keys for my PC. I was using 10 128-bit hex. Is there anything special or unique I need to do for the Mac? For example, for the Mac do I also use the 10 or 26 character key, or just the "Passphrase" (as described by Linksys)? Searching the net, I have found old posts suggesting I need to use quotation marks or $ sign in front of the key, but that advice seems outdated.
BTW - I am having the same problem with my new iTouch.
Your help is appreciated.
nullThanks for posting back when you found the solution.
Just to close things up as to why this would be a problem:
WEP allows for 4 different keys to be configured. Key 1 is used to encrypt the data sent out from the device (either client or access point). When data is received, either of Keys 1-4 can match what is received.
Since OS X only uses Key 1, if Key 1 on your access point doesn't match, it won't be able to decrypt anything that the access point sends back.
The other keys are very rarely used. -
I had trouble connecting my External hard drive
I had trouble connecting my External hard drive (My passport WD) with my macbook. It worked before but not now. The external hard disk is blinking and is spinning but just not showing up on my computer. I tried looking in disk utility and no theres no sign of the disk showing up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Yes, I saw a post on one of these threads about a powered USB hub so I ran over to Office Depot and picked one up. I was finally able to see the HD in the Airport Utility. Yay!

i have updated my 4s iphone to ios 6.1.3 and have trouble connecting it to wi fi . i tried to back up it on itunes and then restore it but now i have left with a phone that still doesnt connect to wi fi and lost all my data. anyone knows how to fix it?
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. This just started happening today (2/19/14)! Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!! BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops. Again, HELP!!!!
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -
My 13" early 2011 macbook pro is having trouble connecting back to internet after going to sleep. before updating to EFI 2.7 it was perfect now after updating its gone bad.
