Hi Stephen,


I would have to connect a non-firewire camera to get this option. Image Capture shows "no camera found" when a firewire camera is connected and the preference option is not available. 


On the video format glitch, we've lost the ability to preview .mov files in the finder. You have to have QT 7 pro installed and select this as the default program for opening .mov files. QT7 will open them and not ask to convert them as QT10 does. Now I have to remember how to keep QT7 from opening every movie after it is recorded. 


I used to remember a lot more stuff a lot more better.


cheers,

Alan

Hey Alan,


Plug in the camera then open "Image Capture" and specify what the computer does when the device is attached... as shown below:

Now, can you tell ME how I get mavericks to show me the videos from ASTRO IIDC without "converting" them when I double click them.  I use to see a thumbnail and an icon for my videos, now I dont.  I forgot how to do that.,

Hi all,


Here is an old question that I can't remember the answer to... just installed AstroIIDC golden key on a new MacBook Pro. All went well and using the thunderbolt to firewire adapter works very well for capturing. 


What is the method (in Mavericks) for keeping Facetime from opening when a firewire camera is connected?


thank you!

Alan
