WHY WONT VIDEORECORDE  WORK WITH IMAC ?

I have a Panasonic video recorder GS35, I cant seem to get it to work with my mac or mac programs... is it not compatiable at all? it will work with parallels on the pc side, but I would like to use my imovie program. This is my first year with a mac, and I truly love it, but do I have to buy a new camcorder ? Or better yet... what I am doing wrong? :o)

I connect with a usb, but mac doesnt recognize the recorder at all. now the software that came with the recorder says it is only pc compatible, so i cant download the software or drivers... is that why? i am using the usb behind the screen of imac, not the keyboard. I am using the imovie program as well.

  • Ipod video...why wont it work with it?

    I find it strange that the nike+ software only works with nanos, ipod video came out after the first nano...when that nano work with the soft ware why doenst the video?! and are we sure, has someone tried the nike + software with the iPod video?!

    This was likely done because the hard drive on an iPod video is much more vulnerable to being dropped and other hard impacts compared to an iPod nano's flash media.

  • Why Wont GPS Work with the Nokie 5530 + Nokia LD-4...

    Ok, ive played around with all the settings, etc. The only lights being displayed on the ld-4w gps module are the green light and the blue light. the gps light is not turning on. it is all paired with the nokie 5530 phone.
    Ovi maps is installed, all the firmwire is updated.
    When i start the application 'Location' (the one thats included with the phone), it says searching for GPS devices. Then it says 'Waiting for gps', then (nearly instantly) it shows 'GPS Not Availible' and exits. After that it displays 'No Connection'.
    I have tried by going into my back garden and doing this but it still does not work.
    However, when I use ovi maps and type in a route, it displays 'Waiting for GPS' for a  long time, then it does not connect either, but then it also asks for an internet connection, which i dont have as i dont have any credit on my phone, and i also dont have wireless internet.
    If this is the problem, then why doesent the gps light on my ld-4w even blink?
    Please help, i need this GPS module up and running before my sisters birthday party lol (17th april)....so please help..its urgent!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Woohoo!! I finally got this working...what I did was I held the power button down for about 10 seconds until the lights alternated between green and red, and then i turned it back on again. Then while holding the power button down, i plugged it in the charger.
    Then i turned it back on again, and paired it with the 5530xm again, and it showed waiting for gps for about 5 mins, then it displayed some co-ordinates! Then i started ovi maps then it showed my location!
    Yeeeaaaahh!! it finally works!! Looks like it wasent nokias fault after all!!

  • Why wont facetime work with chat sites, why wont facetime work with chat sites

    plesse help

    HI,
    FaceTime is a Video Procotol used by Apple in the iOS software and the Mac OS X software.
    It is not compatible with the iChat video  (also used in Messages) or the Jabber protocol for Video called Jingle.
    Facebook Video chat in a web browser and this then uses Flash and FaceTime is not compatible with that either.
    Basically everyone has their own way of doing video chat.
    MSN/Live is not compatible with anything else.
    GoogleTalk is a Jabber server using the Jingle Protocol which is then in a Standalone PC app called gfoogle Talk and in the Web Browser plug-in but is not that compatible with other Jabber servers that have later versions.
    Yahoo have their own Protocol.
    AIM used to match the one used in iChat but even AIM have changed the way they do Video.
    Flash can be installed on a Mac and then several Video Chat sites can be accessed.
    AS I said Facebook rely on Flash to do Video.

  • When I try to update to iOS5 i get error 3194 and my itunes is 10.5 so why wont it work?

    when I try to update to iOS5 i get error 3194 and my itunes is 10.5 so why wont it work?

    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    you're probably losing connectivity.
    you can try a different browser and/or a different wired connection and/or a download manager or if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download from prodesigntools.com
    if you need a prodesigntools.com link, which version of ae do you need?

  • HT4906 i purchased icloud on my laptop why wont it share with my ipad?

    I purchased icloud on my lap top why wont it share with my ipad?

    What did you purchase?  You need 10.8.2 running on your laptop and iOS 6 on the iPad or later in order to be able to sync between your devices.  What system are you running on your laptop and is your profile correct as far as the iPad 2 is concerned?

  • External isight wont work with imac g4

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a second hand isight camera using ebay.
    I have an older imac g4 and the isight wont work with it at all.
    I have scoured the forums on this topic and looked through all of EZ Jim's suggestions but I think my problem is a little bit different.
    I'll explain exactly what happens and my troubleshooting so far...
    The imac G4 is powered off, I plug in the external isight via firewire 400
    The imac boots up into leopard 10.5.8 (using leopard assist)
    In system profiler the isight is listed under the firewire tab.
    ( I can post system profiler info on this if its needed)
    When I turn on the camera ichat launches, but then in the video tab it says no camera is connected.
    Photobooth just has the no camera sign, but interestingly when ichat is opened photobooth says "camera off"
    sometimes photobooth even lets me click the photo button, it counts down but then it doesnt take a picture... obviously!
    Skype doesnt work.
    I have an imac 24" running snow leopard 10.6.6 .... that also detects the camera but it won't work with any application such as skype or ichat.
    I have tried (on my G4) unplugging my usb bluetooth module but nothing changes.
    My G4 is connected via ethernet to an external router.
    The firewire cable seems ok, I dont have any other firewire devices, but if it was a problem with the BUS or the cable then im guessing it wouldnt show in system profiler.
    I am thinking the camera is probably damaged, but before I start a paypal enquiry I would like to see if it is just my computer or a setting i need to change.
    (oh I used the application isight updater in core services but the install button is greyed out)
    Any help would be amazing!!
    Thanks!!!

    Well, about all you can do would be to try a different and known good
    FireWire cable, as a replacement for what may be a defective FW400
    cable that came with the iSight camera. The cable can be defective
    with one bad wire, yet sometimes appear available to the computer.
    • How to Troubleshoot iSight (note external vs internal)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
    • iMac G5 (iSight), & Intel-based iMac: Using External video camera:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2819
    If you know of someone with an older Mac without a built-in iSight
    camera, to test that one on, this may be an OK idea. Not sure if you
    could get any traction by taking the camera to an Apple Specialist
    and ask if they could check it out for you; that may also cost you.
    {And since your computer does not officially support Leopard 10.5,
    the other avenues of support would probably not be open to you.
    At least not with the old iMac G4 and an unsupported 10.5 install.}
    I have an external iSight camera which was included with my G4 Mini
    1.5GHz model, and that appeared to work OK with 10.5.8 at one point.
    But I really have no need for it, since I don't use photobooth & so on.
    And haven't tried that with my iMac G4 computers at all. No need to.
    With a computer not equipped with an iSight camera, the Leopard 10.5
    installation should still support the eventual addition of one; even if the
    computer itself appears to not officially support a Leopard 10.5 install.
    (You refer to Leopard Assist, a means to install in slower CPU Macs.)
    The FW cable is about the most easy to consider at this point.
    In the course of a year, I've found good replacement cables at
    several places, even those at thrift stores in perfect shape, work
    and I use them for FW external hard disk drives, primarily. To have
    spares is nearly always a good idea. Test & keep known good ones.
    I'm not certain how the external iSight FW camera may work on
    a newer Intel-based 24" iMac with a built-in iSight camera, too.
    Does your 24" computer have FireWire 400+800 ports? Can you
    choose an external iSight camera and ignore the built-in one?
    These secondary topics have probably been discussed in the other
    forum area for Intel-based iMac computer models; if you chose to
    try & use that camera with a model computer with one built-in...
    • Apple - Support - Discussions: for Intel-based iMac
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=189
    There is a possibility, if never tried and the iMac G4 computer was
    acquired second-hand, that the FW port within it may be band; but
    the cable is the first item since it is cheapest, in troubleshooting.
    So, anyway, the hour is late here (1AM) so hopefully the matter
    can be resolved with a known-good replacement FW400 cable.
    You should not have to restart the iMac G4 (800?) model in order
    to get a FireWire item to be recognized. It should appear in the
    System Profiler's list under FireWire, such as things normally do.
    Of course, the camera could be defective as well. Been some
    time since they were available on sale, new from Apple...
    You could ask around to find out if there is a way to use that
    external iSight camera with your newer Intel-based 24" Mac
    by someone having it ignore its own built-in camera; in a
    way as to not affect its normal operation, that is.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IPod wont work with iMac but works in Vista

    I have an 80GB iPod Classic that works perfect on my computer running Windows Vista and iTunes 7. I have only ever used it with iTunes.
    My iPod's format is FAT32 (Windows). And it's running software Version 1.1.2 and disk use is enabled.
    When i try and plug it into an iMac (iMac G5) running OS X 10.3.9 it doesn't work. It doesn't come up as an external drive so I can't access it as an external disk and it fails to work in iTunes.
    I have upgraded the Mac to the latest version of iTunes but this still doesn't solve the problem. I tunes gives me the following error "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted...". This is not the case, my iPod is not corrupted.
    How can i get my iPod to work on the Mac?

    If you buy an iPod, you are Apple's customer whether you use Windows or Mac OS X. Therefore, your statement
    nice how they screw their own customers.
    makes zero sense.
    If Apple products work in Windows for an extended period of time, this is because the most common and popular (by far) version of Windows is getting on 8 years old. And since XP is so prevalent, Apple has to support it, just like any other company that makes products that work with Windows. It is highly unlikely that Windows Vista will ever surpass XP in usage; Apple will no doubt continue to support XP with iTunes and iPods when XP is TEN years old.
    For Mac OS X, Apple has been pushing the rate of development much faster. Therefore, Panther is already "old" technology, even if it was released after Windows XP. Panther is PowerPC-only and most active Macs (in the installed base) are now Intel-based, with 3 million new Intel Macs being added to the installed base every quarter. ALL Intel Macs use Tiger or Leopard. Most Power PC Mac users with supported hardware have at least upgraded to Tiger, if not Leopard. Therefore, only a small fraction of Mac users still use Panther day to day. SO... Tiger is obviously a good cutoff point for backward support, just as Windows XP is a good cutoff point on the Windows side. It's just common sense, not Apple trying to "screw customers."
    It's not just Apple using this common sense. Many, if not most, third party software and hardware Mac products being released right now require Tiger or Leopard, just like with Apple.
    As for your actual problem, I would try Restoring the iPod on the Windows side (assuming you have a copy of all the files on the PC). A Mac should be able to read FAT32 format, both in iTunes (using manual management) and as a hard drive using Finder. If you can get this to work, you can copy the iTunes media files onto the iPod as files (not through iTunes) and then transfer them to the Mac as files. Then load them into the Mac's iTunes library.
    Continue using your Windows PC to sync the iPod. On the Mac side, use +manual management+ (do not sync).

  • Suggestions for all in one wireless printer to work with iMac

    I am looking for a new all in one that will work with my iMac & Airport

    About a month ago I got an HP Photosmart Premium c410 AIO (print, copy, scan, fax). I don't remember the price, but I think it was about $200.  Wireless setup was easy and it works fine so far.  I also use it in a Wi-Fi (Airport) network with a Windows 7 PC and 2 Win 7 laptops; the HP software for Windows is _much_ more user friendly, versatile and faster than the Mac s/w IMHO.   The software for it on a 2011 27" Intel iMac running SL is more stripped down and slower to connect, but it works OK. I haven't upgraded the OS to Lion yet due to numerous complaints.
    The only gripe is that like most current HP printers, it eats cartridges, even the XL ones.  The ePrint function works fine with an iPad (version 1).  Print quality is OK for my uses, i.e.,  letters, photos on plain paper and up to 8.5" X 11" good photo paper).
    I also connect to a one-year old HP Photosmart c310 my daughter brought home from college for the summer - seems to be a pretty similar ePrinter, but without the fax capability.  This works as well as the c410 near as I can tell. It probably cost about $120.
