Re: iPod Touch does not appear in iTunes

2008-07-01 Thread Kyle Kreusch
Hi Michael

I learnt it in the modd/hacking community for iPhone and iPod Touch I
had to use it couple of times in the early days of modding my iPod
Touch

Those applications that were on the iPhone should have always been on iPod Touch

Kyle,

Your suggestion worked. How did you know something as arcane as this, Kyle?

I found the support on Apples web-site worse than useless, as the trail of
articles often simply referred to the next in the chain and didn't actually
say anything. Often the second article merely referred back to the one that
contained the reference to the 2nd article!!

Thank you to all who responded,

Michael Hawkins.

It is  generally-accepted troubleshooting principle these days that if  
your computer begins exhibiting problems after an incremental update  
from Software Update, that downloading and applying the larger "Combo"  
update form Apple's website can be an instant fix. For my own part, I  
have never had to do this. Every incremental update has always worked  
successfully first time.

Re: Sony DCR-HC36E Handycam not recognised on Firewire Port

2008-07-01 Thread Rob Davies

Morning Ronni,

Not sure of the camera or it's abilities, but if it is recorded using  
DV?


It is still a DV tape so just utilise another source for output,  
information is already there. Although some say it may degrade if a  
lower quality VTR is utilised, personally never been an issue.  As it  
is still DV codec, utilise Apples ProRes codec within FCP Studio and  
then lots can be achieved if an up or down grading of codec is required.
I have found this process works even with some of the newer quasi so  
called HI-Def modes of production although in certain situation one  
might need a VTR with similar codec structure? I have not ran into  
this issue yet, as it is still some form of DV.
If it is a proprietary format from one of the manufacturers, it will  
be a program of sorts you will have to download, or available on the  
installation CD that came with product, check Sony site for  
clarification.
But experimentation always adds a bit of spice to life, make the  
mundane ordinary again. Just like when one realises how important it  
is to breathe.


Cheers!
Rob...

Many thanks to everyone who has replied with suggestions regarding  
this problem.
I appreciate all the suggestions very much, and I have tried each  
and everyone.
I've been trying everything, over and over again, that is why it has  
been so long for me to respond to all the help I have been given.


1. Mark's suggestion: Try connecting while in a different User Account
2. Rod's: Disconnect firewire from both ends, camera off, then  
restart Mac
3. Jude's: Try another camcorder: I thought I could get another  
camcorder that uses the same MiniDV tapes, but haven't been able to  
locate one.
4. James: Quicktime Pro, activate record & see if it can see the  
Handycam

5. John:  Was relating to HDD camera HDV/DV & finding the settings.

Unfortunately I have tried every suggestion, plus everything Apple  
Support suggests, but nothing has worked.
My MacBook Pro refuses to recognise the firewire connection from the  
Handycam.


The Handycam recognises the firewire 'DV Out i.LINK / DV in i.LINK'  
when connected.
The MacBook in System Profiler > Firewire - "Warning: Unable to List  
Firewire devices"


I even tried a USB cable just to se if my MBP would see the  
camera  but of course not.


So I have a Sony MiniDV 60min Tape with Video footage on it that  
cannot be imported into my MBP so I can edit & create a DVD for the  
person :-(


Many thanks for your suggestions, I appreciate it greatly.
If you can think of anything I haven't tried yet, please let me know.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hello People,

A "Client" gave me his DCR-HC36E Handycam for me to Edit the video  
and create a DVD for him.


Getting the Video Footage onto my MacBook Pro OSX10.5.3, iMovie '08  
v.7.1.2, & iMovie HD 6.0.4,

is proving a headache.
I'm using a i.Link (firewire) cable that I used to use with my Sony  
DCR-TRV320E Camcorder,before I purchased a HDD Camcorder.


Neither iMovie Applications recognise the camera, so I cannot  
import any video.

System Profiler - Firewire - Warning: Unable to list firewire devices

I've tried everything suggested by Apple  without success.


The camera recognises the Firewire connection, the touch screen  
indicates the firewire connection & DV-Out i.Link  is selected.


Anyone using this handycam with iMovie successfully, I would  
greatly appreciate any suggestions.


Cheers,
Ronni

I'm thinking you mean 'delta' update. Delta being shorthand for

Many thanks for your offer. I had just accepted Ken's offer and shot

With all my fiffing about with this problem I had overlooked what 
you had offered to do  so sorry :-(


Yep, the first thing I did was check my Firewire Port by connecting 
one of my 'many' external Firewire Drives.

The firewire port is working correctly.

Thanks again.
