Upgraded to 10.5. Must reboot every time when I want to connect camcorder

Sorry if I am in a wrong place with this question.
I used to have video chats when my Canon XM2 camcorder was connected instead of a webcam, it produced a very flattering picture of myself (I need it more and more). After I upgraded to Leopard a couple of days ago I have lost the ability to connect the camera without restarting the computer. It's like back to my 20th century PC again, only we did not have digital camcorders back then.
I know there is a bit of misunderstanding between Canon and Mac OS when it comes to using FireWire protocol, but in my case I am afraid it is something different. System Profiler sees the camera, iChat also reports it as connected but instead of the picture there is a black rectangle in the iChat window; the same behavior has been registered with Skype. After I restart the computer (with the camcorder ON) everything works as expected.
Can someone please advise if there is a setting in Leopard that tells the computer to recognize the signal from my camcorder without rebooting? Thank you.

After 20 minutes of full disconnect from power - I even unplugged the computer - it recognizes the camcorder every I power the camcorder off and then on again. Not sure how long this memory will stay but so far so good. Probably hot-plugging the video camera via FireWire was not such a great idea after all. I think I will be safer if I connect FW devices to the computer when both the device and the computer are powered off.
Thank you Defcom (UK).

  • Why my mawerick reboots every time when I try to mount afp drive over VPN ipsec?

    After Mawericks update there has been a bug that prevents using afp file sharing with ipsec VPN. Mawerick will reboot every time when I try to choose folder to view. VPN connection and user authentication works fine until I have to choose which folder to mount. Any other VPN action like common web browsing doesn't cause any problems. It's only afp.
    When I view logs I will find this one. It indicates that there really is some low level problem in drivers.
    Question is: How I can fix this?

    Stack of addresses and kernel extensions were missing. The thing is that Mawericks setup is really out of the box installation. There is nothing special in the setup.

    i have a problem: every time when i want to download free apple applications in the apple store, apple store asks me which type of credit card i want to use. Why did it ask this question?

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
    To create an Apple account without a credit card see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    Try rebooting the iPad one more time. Try using recovery mode again and if that still doesn't work, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask for their help.

  • TS3297 I have problem to update or purchase new applications as "waiting" appers every time when I want to update sth or buy and it is not downloading staff on my iPad

    Problem to download applications as well as update them, all the time message "waiting" nothing cannot be update and download, I tried already restart all the setting but it's not working

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Have you created a new account or updated your existing account ? All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you have created a new account then all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account.
    If you've updated your existing account then try tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and log out of it and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

  • Hello, I have a problem with Firefox when I use the search option. Every time when I want to search for some info It will crash suddenly.. It happen most of the time when I try to search or google something.

    using search or google something it will crash or closing unexpectedly

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • My iMac needs to be rebooted every time I put it to sleep

    My iMac needs to be rebooted almost every time when I wake it from sleeping. Is this normal?  Ether the screen darkens and it will tell me to reboot by holding down the power button or the screen is just totally blank. It's been doing it for a long time and I thought it was just mac security updates running in the backgrownd or something but it seems to be getting worse.
    Thanks

    Do this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

  • Can't Launch "Memo" Application ... Soft Reboots Every Time I Try

    Help. All of a sudden, my device no longer allows me to launch the Memo application. When I tap to launch the app my device soft reboots every time. I have a ton of critical information in my memos that I need to access every day (fortunately, all the info is backed up on my desktop - it syncs to MS Outlook). Anybody know how I can fix this? I've seen this behavior with other applications on my TX, but this is the first time I have seen it on one of the core applications. Thanks for any help.
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Sounds like a corrupted Memo application that could be causing the reboot.
    Go to www.pimlicosoftware.com and download a trial of dbfixit scan your device and see if it finds any errors.

    why every time when im going to install games that cannot be installed and asking for newest version of iphone software, how can i upgrade newest version of iphone software?

    Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.

  • I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal.  Except I don't know where these are coming from or why.   I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically.  Any Clues?  Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!
