Trouble with my Sony TRV-38 and iChat

I have a Sony TRV-38 Mini DV and it won't set up correctly with my "Video" in iChat... it wont even recognize it. I have a 17" powerbook (1.5ghz) and im connecting it directly with a USB cable. Both camerah & Memory mode will not work. Whats the problem? It talks to my mac when i put a memory stick in it while in memory mode... but thats it. NO VIDEO!!!!
Also... is it true that it will damage my camcorder? and if so WHY!!!!!!! it seems stupid to me.

Hi Richard,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
I see the TRV-38 is not on this list http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/camcorders.html
Does this mean it does not have Firewire ?
iChat require a DV input but some USB cameras can work with this utility http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
Also if the Camera is On and has a tape in it the tape can become stretched. Many cams have anti-stretch feature that kick in after a few seconds when in camera mode.
You should have a set up that will allow a pic to be sent a TV or VCR so that you can record there instead of recording on the Cam itself. (i.e Camera mode but not Record and Not Playback).
On many devices the tape can be taken out and the door shut.

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

    I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

    One possibility: 
    How do you know it is searching for other devices?  Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

  • Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

    updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
    Buttons pressing themself...
    Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
    suggestions?

    Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
    Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
    Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though.  Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

  • HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any

    HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

    The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
    To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • 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

  • Trouble with connecting to an App and restoring In App Purchases

    I am having trouble with restoring my in app purchases. I had purchased the full season for crazy night out a while back but when I got the app again after restoring the app the full season wasn't on and it is trying to charge me for it. I had also bought the fantasy date app and the multipacks and unlike crazy night out it recognizes I made the purchase but when I click restore purchases or buy pack it won't download and it says can not connect to server and for me to check my settings and try again also for the ones I do have that were free when I click play or download all videos it says it can't connect to servers and the videos don't play. Is there anything I can do to retrieve these purchases back and get the videos to play.
    It's not the Internet everything else works.

    ftp doesn't work well in modern network environments, and the design of the protocol itself is basically incompatible with the inclusion of firewalls in modern networks. And it transmits the authentication credentials in cleartext.
    Put another way, see if ssh and particularly sftp works here (either directly via the sftp command, or via a sftp GUI tool) works for your requirements.
    Failing that, [here is ftp set-up information|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/942].
    If it's the DNS set-up, then here is some [DNS server set-up information|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436]. And your Mac OS X client will need to have access to the same DNS information your server is using.

  • OC4J: Troubles with characters in Reports 9i and JSP

    We are having troubles with especial characters in OC4J. Those problems appear in JSP's and Reports.
    Some information about it:
    - the especial characters in spanish are replaced by strange characters (2 chars for every especial char).
    - this happens with strings from ApplicationResources.properties (we use Struts framework) and NOT with those chars read from database via JDBC.
    - the problem doesn't happen in JDeveloper. It happens when we deploy the application to iAS 9i R2. With reports, it happens both from RWBuilder and local OC4J + RWServlet
    - When we used iAS R1 core version this didn't happen. When we changed to iAS R2 full installation (to be able to use Reports Server) it began to happen.
    Any help about it ?
    Thanks

    Hi Pozo,
    Have you got the solution for the problem specified. Even I'm facing the same problem with Arabic characters.
    Pl. let me know if you've got the solution.
    Thanks,

  • I'm having trouble with a multi channel acquisition and download with PXI-5922

    I am having trouble with getting data out from both channels of a PXI-5922.  My software seems to be working, but when I do the fetch there is no data for the second channel.  I am using the same format for all of the channelList inputs (0,1).  I've checked the instrument handles and anything else I can think of, but this is my first time trying to collect data on 2 channels of a digitizer.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi schliepe,
    Try checking your code against an existing example. The
    Developer Zone Example: Independent
    Channel Configuration with NI-SCOPE is a good VI to reference. Also note
    that there are several examples that come with the NI-SCOPE driver. They can be
    found in Windows by going to Start »
    Programs » National Instruments » NI SCOPE » Examples. Additionally, if you find that the examples are not working either, verify that both channels are functioning by running the
    NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel.
    Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great
    day!

  • Trouble with Extreme N base station and Express station wireless

    Upgraded extreme base station with new extreme "N" base station. Currently have the extreme "N" base station connected to cable modem on 2nd floor. I have wired the house to have the demarc on the 2nd floor. I purchased the express base station to be placed on 1st floor to extend the wireless range from the extreme "N" base station.
    Prior to this setup, I had a wired bridge on the 1st floor to the main router on the 2nd floor. I was able to connect all wireless connections to the bridge where there was weak signal to the main router on 2nd floor.
    The trouble I am having is that whether I have the express base connected or not. My signal is near the same as having only the main base station on 2nd floor. I can be seated right next to the express on the 1st floor and have only 1-2 bars on the signal.
    I have updated and running the latest utilities for the airports. I have also been seeing the same trouble with other Mac's and PC's.
    Also, I have been noticing the extreme "N" base station blinking amber when no Mac's or PC's are accessing the network or even when they are.
    So, even when both the extreme and express have solid green LED, I still have the problem.
    I am not sure if I am setting up this incorrectly or if I have hit a brickwall with this setup in my house.
    Could I hard wire the express from the extreme from the second floor as I did with the bridge I use to have? I am not sure if the express would work as a wired bridge.
    Just appears to be performing less then my prior PC networking products.
    Thanks everyone...hope to get some insight. I have read all the prior discussions and still not getting good results.

    Tesserax....Thanks for the quick clarification on using the expresss as a wired bridge. I did avert back to a wired bridge now using all apple products. I was trying to get away with reusing the hard wire from the base station since I was running out of ports on the base station. {Apple has to be difficult with only having 3 ethernet ports.}
    So I had to run a linksys switch off the extreme "N" base station.
    Thanks again..
    Guess I have to live with the quirks...
