I'm trying to download videos from my FS10 to my macbook air

Unplug the power cable from back of the printer ( while the printer is on ) and wait for 30 seconds. Connect the cord to printer.

It should work.

Regards,
Suhail

Dear Sir,

If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:

1. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
2. Make sure that the power adapter is properly connected to the power port on the back of the computer.
3. Disconnect all accessories that are plugged into the computer, such as a printer, hub, or iPod.
4. Reset the computer's PMU, SMC, or PRAM. Refer to the instructions for your model:
   
   • Portable (iBook or PowerBook)
   • Mac mini
   • iMac
   • Power Mac
   • Mac Pro
   • MacBook or MacBook Pro
   • Other Mac computers
5. Try plugging a different power cord into the computer (if you have a working one available). If the computer starts up, replace the old power cord.
6. If the computer uses a power adapter, try connecting a different power adapter to the computer (if you have a working one available). If the computer starts up, replace the old power adapter. (Computers that use a power adapter include MacBook, MacBook Pro, iBooks, PowerBooks, Power Mac G4 Cube, and Mac mini.)
7. If you tried all of the steps above and the computer still won't turn on, contact Apple technical support (1-800-APL-CARE in the U.S.) or take your computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using

Thanks For Your Time,

try to connect your keyboard to the mac air while mac book is connected to internet (by wifi) then update your programs (apple menu - update).

Canon does not support basic software to actually download your video back to your PC. It is propritary software, and it is not available from the Canon poorly run web site. i.e. It is completely worthless by itself

try You can force a frozen MacBook Air — or any current Mac laptop — to shut down and restart without removing its battery. You just hold down the power button for a few seconds until the machine shuts off, then wait a few seconds, then turn it on again.

I experienced the same thing. The compact power adapter is simply the power cord used also to recharge the camcorder. Plug it into the wall at the same time as you have the USB plugged into the computer and it should be able to download.

1. Unplug the JVC compact component power cord from the power outlet.
2. Unplug any connected devices.
3. Press and hold the JVC compact component power button for five seconds.
4. Plug the JVC compact component power cord back into the power outlet and turn on the JVC compact component
5. Open the menu to confirm that the JVC compact component is responding again.
6. Turn off the JVC compact componentand reconnect the devices.
7. Turn on the JVC compact component...

That is odd. I have had a fantastic experience with my MBA so far. The good news for you is that, since you have a MBA, you are probably within the 90 window in which you can seek unlimited complimentary support from Apple. 
If you are close to a retail store, take it to the Genius Bar. Otherwise, check out this link for info on phone support:

If your Macintosh computer won't turn on, here's how to troubleshoot it. Please keep in mind that although your computer may display similar symptoms that prevent it from showing video, this article discusses what to do if the computer won't turn on, meaning that when you press the power button:

• You don't hear a startup chime
• You don't hear any fan or drive noise
• The power button or power indicator doesn't light up at all

If your computer doesn't display any video, it may display one or more of these similar symptoms when you press the power button:
