Can I use two operative systems running in  my iMac G5?

A few weeks ago I bought a digital videocamera, Canon MV830i, it's an easy and a cheap cam.
Well, now I've filmed some stuffs and I want it over to my iMac. I put in the DV-cable, with firewire, into the cam and the computer. Nothing is happening. I try to open up iMovie but it says ther is no videocamera connected. And then I read on the box, which the videocamera were delivered in, and it says that I need to have an earlier operative system than Mac OS X Tiger, 10.4.3, that I have.
So that i wonder is if I can download or buy an earlier operative system, ex. Panther 10.3, and still have my Tiger operative system in the computer.
Do you knoe what I'm going to do? Please help me!
Thank You Max Landegren, Stockholm, Sweden

And then I read on the box,
which the videocamera were delivered in, and it says
that I need to have an earlier operative system than
Mac OS X Tiger, 10.4.3, that I have.
Max, it's unlikely the camera requires Panther. The box was probably printed before Tiger was available. If the camera ran in Panther, mostly likely it will run in Tiger too. That's how these things usually work.
Before going to all the trouble to locate and install Panther, I suggest you try to get your camera to work in Tiger. iMovie Help has some tips about troubleshooting FireWire, as well as Apple's online information for iMovie. Both are available in iMovie's Help menu.

  • How can we use two Discovery Systems in same network

    Hi Experts,
       I have two discovery systems with me and both of them have same SID and host name. As per the Discovery Systems configuration document we should not change any settings.
    Now I have a requirement like use one discovery system for R3 & BW and the other one for XI, EP and AII.
    Could any one tell the best approach to get it done?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Siva

    Hi Siva,
    the blog you found was created based on version 2 of the SAP Discovery system.
    For version 3 there is the option to adjust the host name according to your needs during the system set-up. You can read the details in the [Quick Guide|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/801dd54d-dd37-2a10-eca7-94bce2de28bc].
    Hope that helps,

  • Can i use windows operating system in e51 in addit...

    E51 has huge 130 mb of phone memory.so can we install additionlly windows mobile operating system in addition to symbian and java.because there are many good softwares in windows which are not available in symbian.

    No, smartphones do not support dual OS as you can do on a PC. Additionally, there is no standard system of hardware for phones, like with PCs, so the hardware arcitecture is designed solely for the OS intended for installation at point of manufacture.

    You can also purchase a retail Snow Leopard DVD:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.

  • Two operating systems in one computer - Running a program

    Hi.
    I have just installed two operating systems in my Thinkpad: windows 8 and windows 7. Is that possible to run a program, say Photoshop, MS Office, installed in windows 8 OS while I am running windows 7? I do not want to reinstall all the programs in windows 8 when using windows 7 because they are still in the same computer.
    I tried to clicked on a program (from W8 Program x86). It asks for serial keys. I entered but it said that i do not have sufficient priviledge???
    One more question:
    I have an external hard drive. Is that possible when I install a program on that external hard drive, instead of internal hard drive, and run from that external hard drive? I mean: I install a program on external hard drive, then run that program in external HD from other computer?
    I hope to have your insight solutions for this problem.
    Thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Basically all more advanced programs cannot be run this way. They utilize registry entries, app data, environment variables etc. hence are tied to the OS they are installed on. 
    Some simple applications, which don't require to be installed or have a portable version will work. This list does not include Office or Photoshop.
    The answer for the external hard drive is the same. You'll need a "portable" application, which doesn't store any OS or user specific information.
    You can look here http://portableapps.com/ for applications that are not tied to an OS.

    Yes, it works. Download the trial and see for yourself. Adobe never updates the system requirements after any version is released, so that is what was available last Sept. when PSE 13 was released.

  • Can you use Apple TV to run Ap Players on your TV

    I use the comcast xfinity player and the ABC player on my  to watch on-line content.  I also access their respective web site directly from the Mac desktop to watch contents on-line as I cant run them through on my HDMI cabapable TV as my PS3 has an incompatable operating system with the flash player to view those applications or web content on-line,
    Can I use Apple TV to run either the Aps through my TV or to directly access content from on-line sites?  (and yes, I know I can hook my mac to my tv directly via an HDMI cable, but it wont work with my stereo system and the audio is substandard)

    No, the copyright holders have too many restrictions on how you are allowed to distribut content.  So you can not stream copyrighted content over AirPlay, and ATV does not support flash.   You can only watch content on ATV that there is an app for on ATV.  i.e Netflix, Hulu, MBA, etc. etc. etc.  Sorry.

  • HT201341 Does the Mountain Lion operating system run programs in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 software suite?

    Does the Mountain Lion operating system run programs in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 software suite?

    No, Snow Leopard (10.6) is the last version of OS X that supports Office 2004. You can upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011, or use a free office suite such as LibreOffice.

  • Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display?

    Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display with good video quality? I just purchased them and am already reading about issues with non-Apple External Monitors being used with MBP with Retina.  Plus I just assumed it given the power of the video card, but I can turn off the display to my MBP and extend the two HP monitors correct? I do realize they won't have the picture quality of the retina display but I would hope they look reasonable with 1080p
    New to the Support Community so thanks in advance for any help.

    This is an update on the question about the use of the Dell P2415Q 4K monitor with MacBook Pro 13" and 15" w/ Nvidia graphics card installed. The monitor works very well with both systems and is automatically identified when connected. The 13" machine with Iris Graphics defaults to 2560 x 1440 at 60hz. This was very workable, matching the Apple Thunderbolt Display for resolution. I was not able to set the display for full 4K at 3840 x 2160, even at 30hz. Just not enough horsepower with the basic Intel CPU with Iris Graphics. But make no mistake, the setup works well and the screen looks great.
    The 15" with Iris Pro Graphics and the Nvidia GeForce GT 575M discrete graphics card also recognized the display and drove it at full 4K, 3840 x 2160, 60hz with no problems. Running in clamshell mode required a bit of fine tuning with the Apple display settings. But nothing major.
    Due to a relatively small workstation, I selected the 24" version of the Dell monitor. If you are looking for a relatively large monitor with near "retina" resolution, the P2415Q is a perfect pairing for the MacBook Pro - and a terrific bargain. I paid $530 on the Dell website.

  • Two operating systems with mountain lion

    Is it possible to install two operating systems on a mac running OS X Mountain Lion?
    I would like to setup Snow Leopard and keep Mountain Lion on seperate partitions.
    Can this work?

    As long as your Mac shipped with SL or less you can do it. You'll need to put SL on another drive or partition your existing hard drive. I prefer a seperate drive. Then when you need SL just boot from your SL drive.
