Apple M3793LL/A Camcorder User Manual


 
m The camera’s memory may have no room for another image. Transfer the
images from the camera to your Macintosh, then erase the images. (See
“Erasing Images From the Camera” in Chapter 3.)
m The camera may be connected to your Macintosh. You can use the camera
controls on the Macintosh to capture images (see “Capturing Images From
the Macintosh” in Chapter 3), or disconnect the serial cable from the
camera.
The Macintosh doesn’t recognize the camera
Different devices and programs may compete with the camera for the use of
a serial port on your Macintosh. If there’s a problem, a message tells you that
the camera is not responding. Make sure the serial cable is connected
properly, the camera is turned on, and the batteries have enough power.
m If you upgraded your system software after you installed your QuickTake
camera software, you may need to reinstall the camera software. See “What
if You Upgrade Your Macintosh System Software?” in Chapter 1 for
instructions on reinstalling the camera software.
m If you are sharing a serial port that you use for another device and
AppleTalk is turned on, turn AppleTalk off.
m If you tried to install the QuickTake camera software by dragging it to
your hard disk, it will not work correctly. Reinstall the software using the
Installer provided on QuickTake Disk 1.
m If you have a Macintosh IIfx, or a Macintosh Quadra 900 or 950, the serial
switch must be set to “Compatible” rather than “Faster.” (To set the serial
switch, use the Serial Switch control panel.)
Not enough memory
To make more memory available, try quitting open programs that you’re
not using.
Can’t see anything through the viewfinder
m Make sure the lens cover is open.
m Move the camera around slightly as you look through it. You need to look
straight through the viewfinder.
