Trouble exporting to camera! Need help please

Hi all, Hope u can help. Only recently has imovies not allowed me to export movies to my camera. The message appears:- "imovie lost connection to the video camera. Please check and try again."
I have checked firewire which is installed correctly- i know this as i can import stuff fine.
Only thing i can think of is that i recently installed a lassi hard drive to back up movies- this also uses a firewire cable-At the same time i had extra memory installed, could this be the problem? If so how do i fix it! or could it be something else? Yours hopefully nicola

Hello Nicola:
Welcome to the forum!
You must be sure your hard drive is formatted for the mac. Look at this:

  • NTL/Virgin Cable Modem trouble... Need help please...

    Hello,
    I am a new NTL user, meaning I got the confirmation letter from NTL and then when they came to install it, the entire package turned into Virgin. They promised me a 10mb line which they say I have and a week into my TV and broadband cable modem experience, they dropped the Sky Channels. I wasn't too happy about that. But I wouldn't mind so much if only my internet was as stable as they said it would be.
    I am new to Cable Modems and I have always had ADSL, which I think is much more stable compared to my cable modem.
    I have a supposed 10MB line and a little blue box with a strange thick wire going into it and an ethernet cable going out of it into my new Airport Extreme (Flat one).
    My problem is this, aside from the fact that I constantly have drop outs and sometimes complete loss of signal, the Airport is in a fixed place no more than 3 meters from my MacMini Core Duo.
    I also don't think I have a steady 10MB line, cause when I try to download files from Apple or their trailers, it is VERY slow. I came from a 4MB ADSL and it was REALY FAST! So why is Cable slower?
    Am I doing something wrong here? The entire set up from Virgin was more or less non existent and they didn't help much on the phone.
    How can I have a more stable line and get at least 4 MBs out of the 10MBs they claim I have....
    It jumps high during a download and a few seconds later it drops to the point it simply isn't worth it...
    I would appreciate any info you could give.
    Here is my set up : Apple Airport Extreme Control Panel
    AIRPORT
    Summary :
    Base Station Name : Airport Extreme
    Base Station Status : Normal (GREEN)
    Version : 7
    Serial No. XXXXXXXXXXXX

    Then the other one is my own MacMini set for Everyday all day.

    Domain Name : Empty
    Ethernet WAN Port : Automatic (Default)
    Connection Sharing : OFF (Bridge Mode) (Can I even have more macs online?)
    ADVANCED
    IPv6 mode : Link-local only
    Any info would be really appreciated as I have spent soon 3 weeks to figure out how to have a stable and fast line and it isn't... Sometimes pages load like I was on a 56k modem!
    Please... Help...
    PS. the NTL Modem is called NTL 250 that is all it is a tiny blue modem of sorts...
    I am on a MacMini Core Duo which version of Airport card is in it I don't know and don't even know where to look for the info on it. But All I do know is that I often experience drops in my signal and sometimes a total loss of connection...
    Thanks

    Hi.
    I've been a Telewest - now also Virgin Media customer for many years, and have been using their 10mb connection for over a year now ( are you aware that in May they're upping it to 20mb)
    The speed of the connection is quite erratic, but for me has improved since xmas.
    Here is a site that will check your speed, if you still have problems, call them up, and even though they're not very Mac friendly, insist that they come round and check it.

    By the way, I called them when they lost Sky, and threatened to leave - they gave me a 20 quid/month discount - give it a go!

  • Exporting to pdf - need help please

    I work with Multi Ad Creator (at a newspaper) and prior to sending the file to the publisher we need to convert it to pdf ( we click on the file and so to file, export, pdf).  There has never been an issue doing this but there is now!  When the file gets converted there is a two lined-four sided graphic on the top of my file that I cannot seem to get rid of - what have I done to the program and what can I do to fix this??  The paper ended up being printed with these graphics on them which is not good!

    Here is a jpeg of the pdf file that was converted.
    And here is a jpeg of the crtr file converted.  When I convert the crtr to pdf I get that darn graphic and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why it comes up - it comes up on any crtr file converted to pdf, but this never used to happen grrr

  • HT4946 hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    Hi,
    usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
    Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
    The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
    Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
    In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
    Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
    In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
    Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup

  • I can not play any games on the new ipad 32 G wifi after take over to  oversea , need help please

    After I turn off Airplane mode and I want to play games when was downloaded before fly to oversea. I was palying all games on ipad before fly.
    now when I turn on ipad and want to paly games but It can not play games on ipad.???
    Anyone can fit it on setting?
    Need help please.
    Thank you.

    OK. I am having a little bit of trouble understanding your responses, but let's start with this since you are having an issue with other apps as well.
    Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot 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. Let the iPad start up completely and then try again.

  • How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please.  Thanks

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

    i dont know how i got my photos to my ipod touch from my pc and now i wanna delete them but couldn't. so need help. please let me know.

    To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iDevice to your PC.
    Launch iTunes,
    Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
    Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
    Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.
