Trouble with capture from HDC TM700

Can someone help me. I have Windows 7, 64 bit
system, CS5 Prem Pro. Am getting a capture device offline when trying to
capture from HDC TM700(PAL). Panasonic assures me that this wont work on a 64 bit system, but
I have read other forums that tells me this is rubbish. Have tried to set up device control, using de
vice type as standard. When I aked a panasonic support person what the devi
ce type to use was I got "Camcorder",( and all this time I thought it was a house brick!!).
What do I do now?

Thanks very much, understand much better now,
am only just getting my head around all of this and have been going in circles for days,
Panasonic persons suggested 1394 cables and third party capture cards and god knows what else
thanks so much to you and Colin for taking your time to answer me with some sense. I did look around the Adobe sight
but it is hard when you are not really sure what you are looking for in a minefield of great info
Cheers

Trouble HDV capturing from a new XL-H1

I'm having trouble capturing from my XL-H1. The footage was shot in HDV 24fps and I'm trying to capture it to my G5 with a new version of FCS 5.1.
The machine seems to have trouble finding the in point and pops an error most times. When it doesd find the in point it cruzes right past the out point. When attempting to capture it also pixilates a frame or two about avery second and the video displays very choppy(during attempts to capture).
I noticed in the batch capture window, the settings say HDV, 1440X1080i and 29.97fps. and There donen't appear to be a way to set that to 24fps. Am I missing somthing?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

No. I just haven't been able to successfully capture from that camera natively. I captured using my capture card...converting it to the more manageable DVCPRO HD. But I wanted HDV footage so that I could see what it was like. But I couldn't capture it.
FCP 5.1.2 and up should have all the HDV 1080p options. Make sure you click SHOW ALL in the EASY SETUP window. There are 1080p60, 1080p30 and 1080p24.
Other people have captured no problem, and yet more have my issue of not being able to. I could control the deck, but got nothing. Let us know how you fare.

I am having trouble with hdmi from MacBook to TV

Having trouble with the sounds when I connect hdmi from MacBook to TV

This is the iPad forum. Do you have a question about iPad? If not, I'll ask that your post be reassigned.
BTW, you will need to provide more detail than that for someone to help. How are you connecting the two? What have you already done to troubleshoot? What was the result?

Trouble with examples from the website

Hi
I was trying to down load couple of examples from your website - Motor
control, closed loop control system. But have trouble with it.
I have Labview version 5.1 not 7.
It gives an error after I unzip the file.
Are they not compatible with 5.1??
Pls help
Krithika

When you download an example from the NI homepage please always have a look at the "Software Requirements" section. Here you will find the version of the development environment the example was compiled with.
Many examples are compiled with LV 6.x or LV 7.x thus it's probable that you can't open them with LV 5.x

Small bug with Capture from Converter / Easy Setup Presets

Recently upgraded from fcXpress 1.1 to fcXpress 3.5.1 and have
run across a bug in trying to capture from non-controllable
devices using the "DV-NTSC DV Converter" preset.
If the "DV Converter" preset has been selected before I open
the log & capture window, all the clip detail boxes and capture
buttons are ghosted. Entering a "Description" file name or
initiating a capture is not possible.
Present work around is to initially select the "DV-NTSC Firewire"
preset, then open the log and capture window and then, while
log and capture is still open, select the "DV-NTSC DV Converter"
preset. Following this sequence leaves the detail entry boxes
and capture buttons functional.
HTH!
peace

No, I don't think that the message box included anything other than English. It simply told me that I must turn off the computer using the power button. I'm going to try this exercise again today after having read that using the System Disk as FCE's scratch disk is a bad idea. If I crash abd burn again, I'll make a better note of the circumstances of the crash.
Thanks.

Trouble with mixdown from 96khz

I recently did the switch to 96 khz, and gradually working my way up to 192 khz, and i know a lot of you are going to say that i should just stick with 48 but i don't see the reason when my box goes up to 192. and when there is in fact a difference from 48 to 96 to 192. now i've made the recordings in 96khz, and when i mix it down to 48, it screws up the recording. i mean, it sounds good, but it doesn't sound anything like my song. it's weird. anyone know what this is all about? thanks in advance.

>Given that it is better to record and/or process at 24 bits (I have also read that sometimes there is no difference there), when should one expect a benefit from recording at sample rates of 98k or above and when should one expect benefits of recording at 24 bits?
Recording a 24-bit signal is essentially the same as recording a 32-bit one - the extra bits are scaling bits, and they only get invoked during processing operations. As for when you need to record at 24-bit as opposed to 16-bit - well, that gets slightly more interesting. If you are making an acoustic recording, then there's no way that you will be able to use all of even the 16-bit dynamic range up, never mind 24! That would give you a potential range of 96dB, and to get a venue that quiet... well, you can take it from me that you can't. BUT... that doesn't mean that you don't get benefits from 24-bit recording, because in a reverberant space that
is quiet, you will definitely capture reverb tails more accurately as they disappear into the natural dither the background noise is causing. So if you are making recordings like this, I'd say that it was worth it.
As for sampling at rates above 48k - well it's been researched, and proved conclusively that it's simply not worth it, because listening panels can't tell the difference, all other things being equal. Trouble is, that with a lot of kit, all other things
aren't equal, so equipment appears to behave better sometimes at higher sample rates. It is IMPORTANT to note, though, that this is a failure of the equipment to perform properly at lower rates, and not a function of the higher sample rate itself - that's irrelevant to the argument. What causes this has far more to do with things like dodgy Nyquist filtering, and generally poor component quality. Even some D-A converters are guilty from this point of view, running considerably better at higher rates than lower ones.
I have done critical listening to Apogee converters running at different sample rates into a good monitoring system, and you really can't tell the difference, whatever material is used. The entire Apogee chain was designed to run correctly at whatever sample rate you choose to use - and it proves to my ears (and everybody else who listens) that whatever differences people hear in lesser equipment are
not inherently due to any sample rate considerations. The other thing to bear in mind is that it's seriously difficult to reproduce even 20kHz in the average room with normal loudspeakers - so any system that can reproduce beyond this range is wasting its time and your processing power getting there - there is simply no benefit to be had at all - unless you are a bat/cat/dog, in which case it will annoy them quite a lot. (This has also been tested, incidentally!)
Hopefully, as converters improve generally, this will all inevitably become the accepted wisdom - and that day can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned. The electronic tricks that you need to do to get over the filtering problems that have beset earlier designs are now better understood (this involves oversampling within the devices), and this approach is being used on most if not all of the newer devices that come to market - and now at a better price as well, which is why we are seeing them in more and more cheaper products; It's a technology that has come of age. These converters are now working well enough for the only remaining issues to be related to the analog components on the board, and it's now worth manufacturers choosing the best components they can, because the digital feeds to them can outperform them quite comfortably in many cases. But that, unfortunately, is what tends to make products more expensive, especially if you have to do it to a lot of channels.
I should also mention incidentally that the other thing that affects what is heard in some situations is the master clock stability in the system. In any given clock, you use the same circuitry for the whole thing, but increase the speed of it (by using less divider stages) for high sample rate running. When you do this, the
relative amount of jitter will reduce (although in effect it will remain the same). So it may well be that on systems with lower-grade clock circuitry, increasing the sample rate appears to make the conversion less 'veiled' because the relative jitter sidebands are reduced - but once again, that's down to poor design, and not inherently anything inherently due to the sample rate
per se. Designers are also recognising that this is the case, and clock stability is also improving in general.
>I understand that whatever word length the file is initially recorded at, the word length should be increased to 32 bits for processing, so you don't need to explain that part (unless I am mistaken).
No you aren't - that is quite correct.

Trouble with transfer from older LR and machine to LR5 on a newer computer

I have used LR1 for several years on an ancient Mac G4 so not a beginner but didn't find anyplace else to post a question. If anyone cares to redirect me to the right place, I welcome that.
The library module has always been a mystery, I've always been groping in the dark. In spite of that, I've processed a few thousand raw files and have always been comfortable with adding metadata, and working in the develop module, which is all that I need.
I have just acquired a fairly new MacPro, and downloaded a trial version of LR5. But making the transition to the new machine is proving to be a barrier. I think the issue has to do with LR5 not finding the correct path to the actual images, and I don't know enough to help it do that as efficiently as it could probably be accomplished.
Here's what I've done without trouble:
1. On the G4, made a copy of my LR catalog, and gave it a distinct name.
2. Formatted a new large HDD on the MacPro dedicated for image files (not the boot disk).
3. Copied my image files from the G4 to the new HDD in the MacPro.
4. Downloaded the LR5 trial version.
5. Moved the renamed LR catalog from the G4 to the Mac Pro.
6. Opened the catalog with LR5 on the MacPro and selected Library module.
LR5 had problems finding the right path to the images, as indicated by the icon shown in the grid on the upper right corner of the thumbnails - and by the absence of actual images which were instead just empty squares. LR did properly show the HDDs on the MacPro, both the boot disk and the second disk dedicated to images, but the image folders were not listed within the one dedicated to these new images, even though that's where they were saved. Farther down on the left panel LR5 showed my original jumble of folders, but listed them as being still located in the old HDD, as indicated by the name of that volume. And of course there were the question marks, which I have grown to know and....uh, tolerate.
So the LR needed to know how to find the correct path. I didn't know how to direct it, and a LR savvy friend also was stumped also. So I experimented. Unsuccessfully.
I should explain what I mean by the "jumble" of folders: On my G4 Mac, the actual heirarchy of folders from my hard drive never appeared in LR, it was just a list arranged alphabetically. That was inconvenient, but I didn't know why that was happening and didn't know how to fix it.
I found that I was able to help LR5 locate the images by clicking the exclamation point icon, and that brought in the images with all the metadata and develop settings. But I was only able to do that with one folder at a time, and given the number of folders, that was going to be a long and very tedious project. I was sure there had to be a better way.
I made some progress using the contextual menu to "update folder location" but again that was just as tedious to do, it was working only one folder at a time.
I then selected one folder and clicked "synchronize folder" which located a much larger group of images and added them where they needed to be in the left panel within the correct new volume. The bonus was that the proper folder heirarchy was included. However that process did not bring along the metadata, ie, keywords and previous develop module settings, and that was a deal breaker, I don't want to lose that metadata in the transfer, and I'm sure I don't have to, I know LR is smarter than that.
My original image files, and the original catalog, are all still backed up on my old computer, so nothing is lost, it's just not being transferred properly.
What is the best choice now? I have no problem with starting over with LR5 - deleting the renamed catalog and making another copy on the old machine, moving it to the MacPro, and working with that. If I do, how do I help LR5 find the right path to my existing images with metadata and develop settings, without the laborious process of doing it for every folder?
I'll be very grateful for any and all advice, thanks,
Gary

Jon,
What Julianne said at first about re-linking made perfect sense and I followed it easily, had actually already been there. But in my situation now, it didn't have any effect. The directory of folders which had already been added were still just as they were, and the outstanding balance are not in the desired position. And the folders which had been brought in earlier today when I clicked "synchronize folder", were still missing all the metadata.
Maybe this means I need to start over, and I'm fine about doing that that, but I don't know what it takes to accomplish that. I'm concerned now that any changes I make out of guesswork could only make the problem harder to resolve. It just feels to me like something I did at the beginning just wasn't right, and now it's a tangle.
Can you advise?
Thanks,
Gary

Vlookup-trouble with tables from different sheet?

I have trouble getting vlookup to work properly, especially when I try to name a table from a different sheet. Being a long time excel user I am used to only click on the top left cell in the lookup table and Excel assumes that the entire table is the area you want to look up. How is this supposed to work in Numbers? There is some irony here:
I get a #ref error in Numbers when it looks like everything is OK and I try to copy my formula. It looks like this in the first row: =vlookup(B3;[table name]::$A$!:E506;3;0) but when I drag that downwards I get #ref for the lookup table - unable to see what the trouble might be. So I export the file to Excel, and then open the exported Excel-file with Numbers, and it works... Any suggestions?

Hi aarild,
Here's a picture that may help:
Instead of clicking the top left cell of a table as in Excel it works better in Numbers 3.0 to select the entire columns as the range, in my example $Name:$Amount.
Unlike in Excel, generally you're better off structuring your data in tables with a Header Row (and perhaps Header Column) and then body rows with no blank rows beneath them, and perhaps a Footer Row.
That way you can refer to the ranges in your formulas similar to the way you would use named ranges in Excel.

Trouble with 'reply from' address

Help!
Recently we swapped from using a ntlworld.com dial up account to btinternet.com broadband.
I have removed all (that I can see) references to ntlworld from the email preferences. Everything is working fine for me.
However:
There are 2 users on my computer. Myself and my partner - both having individual log ins but sharing same email account.
The problem we're experiencing is when my partner sends or replies to emails from their account. Emails are still marked as from @ntlworld.com, however upon checking their account info summary (from the action menu) the incoming and outgoing mail servers are listed (correctly) as btinternet.com
I really am having trouble finding just where the ntlworld address is lurking! It must be somewhere as if I choose 'reply all' when replying to an email in my partners account the @ntlworld address appears in the cc (?!)
Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi!
Thanks for getting back. Yep, understand what you are saying - but for some reason when opening mail preferences whilst logged in as my partner the ONLY thing I'm presented with is a 'signatures' window - JUST that - it doesn't appear the same way as when I choose mail preferences when I'm logged as myself where I'm presented with a window that includes a menu along the top including 'General', 'Accounts', 'Junk Mail', 'Fonts & Colors', 'Viewing', 'Composing', 'Signatures' and 'Rules'. When I'm logged in as my partner and select mail preferences I'm given NONE of these (except 'signatures') - just a window showing the signatures as if all the other above tabs don't exist (they just aren't there) and as if I've clicked on the signatures tab and the window has opened. So, for some reason I can't actually see the 'accounts' window/info when choosing preferences logged in as my partner.
I have thought that, yes, if I could actually see 'accounts' information when logged in as my partner (upon selecting mail preferences) I could solve this.
Any idea why this would be and how I can get to see the accounts and the email address field? Many Thanks.

Having trouble with display from lap top to flat screen hdtv

I connected my macbook pro 2011 to my hdtv with a thunderbolt to hdmi cable. The audio comes through but all I can see on the TV are the default mac backgrounds. What do I need to do so that my TV shows whats on my lap top?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to use the MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

HT204400 Trouble with streaming from my iphone and on Netflix on Apple TV since an update. I've tried swapping leads, reseting etc... Can ayone help?

I had Apple TV up and running for about 3 weeks. All good... then I get an update. Since then I've got the HDCP error, so Netflix doesn't work, nor can I stream from my iphone. By shear coincidence, my Sky TV has flagged up the exact same issue at the same time, despite being problem freem for 3 years ?? So nothing on my TV except YouTube. Looking at the amount of forum content on this matter, Apple know this is a problem.
It's too much of a coincidence not to be related. I requested a phone call at 8:45 this morning, which happened to be 9:00, so I'd left the house. The useless guy said he'd email me something to help..... and I'm still waiting for that email.
I've tried swapping HDMI cables, resetting Sky and Apple TV, resetting the router, changing resolution in the Audio Visual settings, switching on in different sequences.... I'm lost with it.
Is Apple now run by monkeys ? This is beyond a joke. How can an update ruin everything ?
Can anyone help or am I just to return for a refund ?

Trouble with Importing from Canon 6d

Hi,
When I try to import from my Canon 6D (RAW), it shows all the previews, but will only successfully import a handful of the photos. I get a dialog box saying that the files cannot be read. If I turn off the camera, then try again, it imports just a few more. Finally, after 3 or 4 attempts, all the photos are imported. Any suggestions? Thank you!
(I'm on a Mac, OS 10.7.5, LR5. Also, I have checked the permissions for the destination folder, and it is allowed for both read/write.)

Something is interfering with the transfer of images to your computer that works for most other people. It could be anything from and in between the camera and the computer hardware.
These alternatives for how to get the images to your computer and into LR are ways to troubleshoot where the issue is, and ways to get things going until you do figure out what the problem is.
Another suggestion would be to clear your card of images after things have been imported. It sounds like LR is having to look through a lot of extra images that are already duplicates and with your iffy transfer setup, not a lot of actual images make it through each time before the transfer fails.
If things worked ok with LR3 and now aren’t working with LR5, then what has changed is Adobe uses different OS-level functions to transfer images and some of those newer functions may be susceptible to different things.

Migration to Photos: Trouble with import from iPhoto Library

I have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite (10.10.3). When I first opened Photos, it wanted to convert my iPhoto Library to Photos. After some hours of working with the 165.2 GB iPhoto Library, it told me that I don't have enough disk space. I believed that if I free my MacBook Pro from those 165.2 GB, I might solve the problem. So yesterday, I stored it on an external USB drive (a solid state drive of OWC with USB 3.0 connection to my MacBook), deleted the iPhoto Library on my harddisk, and opened Photos. In Photos, I chose Menu > File >Import , and navigated to the external drive. However, clicking the file icon and name does not release into any import. What shall I do to import data from my iPhotos Libray?
Suggestions will be most appreciated and rewarded with a virtual box of Mozart Kugeln.
Erik Thau-Knudsen

You don't import it, you simply open it:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
