Can I open imovie and record canon hf20 file

I just bought the canon hf20 digital camera and I want to make movies of me talking/logging with it. I want to use it the same way my isight webcam works. I want to open imovie and record, just as i would with my webcam, but with the digital camera. I have googled and researched for days and can't figure it out

The HF20 produces .MTS file format, belongs to (AVCHD) high-definition files. iMoive supports well video files in .MOV, .MP4, DV, so try to change the HF20 video to one of those formats, and import into iMoive for editing. you may want to give a shot with this:

Try going into System Preferences/Display and change the display resolution to something different. You can change it back later once it starts working.

Can't download iMovie and iPhoto to iphone5s

I can't download iMovie and iPhoto to my iphone5s. Every time I click install and type in my password, the iMovie just dont begin to download. I don't know why!

If you continue having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

I can't open iMovie!! Why?

I can't open iMovie because I get this message:
iMovie requires a graphic card that is compatible with
Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards
does not support Quartz Extreme.
I only have one card (the original) and it was able to open iMovie before (iMovie 08 or HD)
and then one day this happen. What's going on?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Update Tiger to 10.4.11 and try trashing the preference files :
*Quit iMovie.*
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. _Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder._
The files are located here:
Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist

Can't open Users and Groups

Yeah guys, after I played around the guest account and added some parental controls to it, I can't open Users and Groups again in Syste Prefences
Thanks

When doing Get Info -> Permsissions on files/folders located on my File Server share, Owner and Group show as (unknown).
This means that the Finder can't find a match in the accounts/groups database for the numeric UID assigned to those files. Either the records associated to those accounts have been deleted, or the database is corrupt. In either case, you should restore a copy of it from backup.

Can't open imovie or idvd

I've created an imovie file that I put into idvd. Right now I can't open imovie or idvd. I can't even back up these files on a dvd.
When I try to open imovie, I get:
Projet couldn't be opened because disk is full, folder is locked or the folder permission are incorrect. If project is on CD-ROM, net server, or locked disk, copy to hard drive before opening.
If project is on hard drive, then the disk may be completely full or you may have to modify that folder. Correct problem and try again.
My work is saved on an external hard drive (le cie). I can't open the files on it. I get the same message. There is plenty of space on this external hard drive left.
What can I do? I can't even back up my work on a dvd. How do I fix this problem. Please help.
Thank you.

My guess is that you didn't "format" the new external drive before you moved your iMovie Projects onto it.
Most drives come pre-formatted for Windows OS's and you failed to format it to work with your Mac.
Disk Utility app can do the formatting but it will erase the contents currently found on the drive.

Can't open iMovie 4.0

I can not open iMovie 4.0. I closed it and minutes later I attempted to reopen it. The icon blinked but did not open. System Profile indicates iMovie was last modified on 10/15/04 and operational.

Sue's idea will probably work. If it doesn't, look in the Finder Trash. If it contains a file named "MacOS" iMovie 4 may be damaged. It had a bug that sometimes would toss part of iMovie itself in the Trash -- a part called MacOS. (Don't worry, it's not the Mac OS.)
If you see that, reinstall iMovie.

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.
