Trouble transferring my camera footage!

I would like to transfer or empty the footage that I have on my Sony HXR-MC5OU to a Disk Drive that I have on my Mac Tower in Final Cut Pro X.
As I go to file and scroll to IMPORT and click on MEDIA, the Media Import window appears ( noting that the Camera is not registering); and, after I hit the Import All tab on the lower right a window appears that says none of the selected files or folders can be imported and that I need to change the selection and try again. I'm stumped. Can any one help?

( noting that the Camera is not registering)
What does that mean? The camera isn't appearing in the sidebar? If the camera isn't on the left what are you selecting before you click Import All?
Maybe a screen shot of the import window would help.

Sony just isn't helping me. I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files.

Well, I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files to my editing software. Sony suggested using the Sony Content Browser but that doesn't work. Sony just can't seem to help me. If the scene shot on the card is longer than 10 minutes, 4 frames of audio is lost from each file. So if you shoot 60 minutes straight (say a wedding, you loose audio every 10 minutes) I guess this doesn't sound important, unless it happens just as the bride is saying "Yes" in her vows.
My original post is as follows:
Sony NXCAM (NX-3) drops audio tracks when importing into FCPX and Premiere.
I called Sony on Feb 13, 2015. I spoke with Doug (case no. 661972). I've been using my NX-3 for about 3 months. I'm still testing Sony NX-3. Looking for a way to transfer the video and audio without dropping audio frames. I didn't catch it at first, I mean it's only a few audio frames. It seems to happen with files over 12 minutes shooting. It seems that I can't upload the video/audio shot in my NX-3 to either my iMac (using FCPX nor Premiere) nor can I upload it to my PC (using Premiere) without 3 to 6 audio "frames" being dropped. When I spoke with Doug at Sony, a person I've actually spoke with in the past, he seemed frustrated. I was speaking with him as a professional and was attempting to find a solution, he was being protective and wanted to place blame at other companies. He stated that the camera played back the files correctly so it isn't a Sony problem. I explained that it is a problem for all of us if we choose Sony as our purchase. He told me "you should all buy Canons next time." That kind of through me. How do you speak to that. I explained that I am just looking for a solution and he told me to call the software and computer companies. Doesn't Sony realize that just because the camera works, that isn't the end of the road. You need to put the video into a devise to edit the video. I asked him what software would he recommend to a professional to use to edit footage taken by the Sony, he no reply. All I received from Doug was a really bad feeling about Sony. I've been a Sony "shooter" for over 34 years. I still can't believe the way I was treated. Not sure now what path I will take with this. But I surely need to tell everyone (all of my associates who have been asking me how I like my new camera) what response I received from Sony. Buy a Canon. By the way, I asked if Sony might have another camera of the same type that didn't drop audio. Doug didn't know. Really strange. Is Doug not happy with his prosition with Sony?

Auto Correct:
As far as I'm aware this cannot be turned off. Someone may prove me wrong on this point
CDDB Update:
Again, as far as I'm aware this cannot be done. You could use WMP to update the files then import them into iTunes.
Music Deletion:
iTunes seems to only ask you if you want to delete a file if the file is located in its library folder. In the Preferences>Advanced>General section try changing your iTunes Music Folder to the folder where all your music is stored and it should ask you if you want to move files to the recycle bin when you delete them.
Library Update:
This is a feature I with iTunes would introduce. When you delete or move a file iTunes loses track of it. What it needs to be able to do is first check to see that all the existing files in the library are still there, and remove the ones that aren’t, then it needs to search for new tracks.
It can search for new tracks but if you have renamed a file, then it will be in the library twice, one is the old file (which will no longer play because it doesn’t exist) and the other is the new file.
The way I now avoid iTunes annoyances in relation to file names and folder organisation is I let iTunes sort it all out for me. Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" will get iTunes to sort your music into Artist folders, then within the Artist folders are Albums, then within the album folders are the actual files, which are named Track Number Artist. For example Coldplay - Clocks will be named 05 Clocks.mp3.
WARNING: Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" will copy all the music in your library to the iTunes Music folder. You must have enough Hard Disk space to do this.
...that wound up longer then I thought it would. Hope you can make sense of it all.
Cheers,
Ben

Digitizing minidv cam footage in Premiere CS6

Has anyone else had any issues digitizing minidv cam footage in CS6 & if so, how did you trouble shoot the issue?

As long as your (unknown brand/model) camera is not actually analog, the video is already digital, so all you are doing with your Firewire connection is transferring from tape to computer

I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone. It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred. I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network. The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours. Is there a better way to do this? I'm using Migration assistant.

Was the content purchased from iTunes? If not, it will not transfer.

Trouble transferring files etc from old iMac to G4.

My friend has an old CRT iMac, not sure of the precise model but it's one the fruit coloured ones running OS 10.1. She's upgrading to my old flat panel G4 iMac running 10.4.11 but we've had trouble transferring her files, settings etc. First we tried using an ethernet cable but migration assistant on the G4 told us we needed to use firewire. She's bought a firewire cable, plugged it in & opened migration asst on the G4 but is getting no response at all. Could anyone advise us on what she should be doing please?
Thanks,
Janet.

By no response I mean no error message, no recognition at all by either iMac.
That sounds like a problem with getting FireWire Target Disk Mode going on the iMac G3. Be sure to review the article I linked to previously, and make sure the iMac can startup in the mode where you see the FireWire logo bouncing around the screen.
Note: If that iMac is one of the early slot-loader iMac G3 models, it needs to have +Firmware version 2.4 or later+ for FireWire Target Disk Mode to work (as noted in the article). So the Mac OS X version (even though it is old) will not prevent FireWire Target Disk Mode from working, but the firmware version may. If you can run System Profiler on that iMac G3, it should say what firmware version it has now (it may be called +Boot ROM+ ).

New laptop & trouble transferring itunes library

I am having trouble transferring the contents of my itunes library to the new computer. The songs are all in the library but there is a grey ! next to all songs that were not purchased by me. I have many that were put on there from my cd's or from my husbands itunes purchases. Is there a way to make them work? BTW I no longer have my original laptop as I deleted the library & gave it away before I tried to play a song.

Can I use Red Cam footage in FCE4

An actor friend of mine has shot a short film with a Red Cam and wants me to edit it. I assume I'll have to convert it, but can I bring that footage into FCE4, and if so what codec should I use? And how do I convert it, what program should be used. When I'm finished editing what codec should I use to export it. He wants to enter this film in some festivals so we want the quality to be as good as possible. How will the finished exported quality compare to the original Red Cam footage? I assume there will be a quality loss, but how much? And are there any other issues I should be aware of? Thanks very much--jqs

I don't know whether it will work with some sort of workflow that substitutes AIC foor Pro Res or not. I referred you to the FCP article so you would see there are a number of moving parts involved. Although I don't know of FCE users editing RED, that's not to say it can't be done. Try some work-arounds and see (and let us know). Alternatively If you know someone with FCP, possibly they would allow you to cut it on their system?
Good luck.
Russ
BTW, I don't think it's possible to unmark this question as solved. If you're not getting views because people assume it's closed, you could always post another question.

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Having trouble transferring photos fron iPad to PC. I have done this before using lightning to USB but now won't recognise photos

Having trouble transferring photos frm iPad to PC. Have done it before using lightening to USB but sine update to iOS7 it says there are no photos

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Synchronize 2 camera footage -- How to nudge smaller than frame increments

When synchronizing dual camera footage in FCP, my method of lining up audio events, how do I nudge the tracks closer together without snapping to the frame? In Pro Tools, it is called Spot editing. I can't find info about this in FCP Help. Sorry for the newbie question. Thanks for your help.

With video you can only edit down to the frame level. In fact I don't know of any video editors that let you move beyond frames as that's how video operates. You can edit and slip audio on a sub-frame level. Look in the manual under sub-frame audio editing for an explanation on how to do it as it's a tricky (but useful) feature.

I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console.

I have trouble transferring audiobooks from Overdrive Media Console. Sometimes the book does not transfer. Sometimes it winds up in music.

I agree that transferring audiobooks to an iPhone using Overdrive is very flaky. My biggest issue now is that when I do a transfer, about every 3rd or 4th segment doesn't transfer successfully. I have to go back and select those and transfer again and then they are out of order with no apparent way to put them in the correct order. So when I start listening to the book, I have to closely monitor when I am at the end of a part so that I can manually select the next part.
My latest transfer of a book with 14 parts placed 2 versions in Audiobooks with the order 5, 12, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. (missing parts 4, 7, and 11)
When I went back to Overdrive and selected parts 4, 7, and 11 to transfer, my iPhone then had a playlist with the book with the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 4, 7, 11.
Crazy!!
