Cannot get Panasonic MiniDV Camcorder to read on iMovieHD 6....help please

i have a new iMac and I didnt like the Life08...so i downloaded iMovieHD 6 and I connected my camcorder and it will not read it. I want to transfer video from it. I have a firewire and everything and it wont read

Yeah I hope it is the cable too but I have two of them and neither one worked. I do have a PC so I am gonna hook it up to the PC and see if it works on there. I think that would eliminate the possibilities of it being the camera and cord. Like you said, the computer being new I dont think its the firewire port because it works with my external hard drive. That only leaves it as a software issue, especially if it (camera) works with the macs at the store.

  • I just upgraded from firefox 4 to 5.01 (BriTISH VERSION) and purchased AVG 2011 full version. Cannot get firefox add-ons to appear in toolbar. Help, please!

    Your window below with pluginfo does not much my list of add-ons. I have only one: forecastfox (weather for Germany). I have not been able to see a firefox toolbar, even though I have add-on toolbar enabled. I hve tried adding other add-ons, they don't appear in any toolbar eithereither.
    The avg toolbar refuses to display my choice of weather. I have de-installed their one, which does not allow a wide range of cities, and reinstalled mine, which has adjacent city choices, all to no availa.
    Is the problem Firefox 5.0.1. , avg 2011 or

  • Panasonic MiniDV Camcorder

    I was going to purchase a Panasonic MiniDV Camcorder model PVGS-300 with a firewire connection but it states that the software does not work with mac. Can I still upload into my mac using imovie.
    I am having a hard time finding a decent camcorder that has an excellent video qualtiy and work well with my mac for under 1k. Any sugestions.

    Please let me know if you are successful at importing clips from the PV-GS300 to your Mac. I have a Mac mini, OS 10.4.6 and iMovie 5.0.2. I have been trying for 2 days. Here is what I get...
    1. When I set the PV-GS300 on PC connection mode, IMovie can't "see" the camcorder. It says no camcorder attached. When I set PV-GS300 to "playback mode", then iMovie can detect it. It says camera connected in the window. I even checked with system profiler and it also "sees" the camera as a Firewire device. I can even use the buttons in iMovie to rewind, play, pause, stop the PV-GS300 when it is set to playback mode. However, when I rewind to the beginning of the video and hit "import" button, nothing happens onscreen. The IMovie monitor screen remains blue even though I can see my video playing on the monitor of the PV-GS300. No matter how long a wait, no clip is created in iMovie.
    2. So then I tried the "magic movie". When I click "create" iMovie rewinds the tape, I see "camera playing" on the blue screen, the video is playing on my camcorder monitor in playback mode. Meanwhile, "looking for video" is displayed forever in the window on the right in IMovie, but nothing happens. No clip is made.
    3. I tried HackTV, but can't get it to work, either.
    4. I'd rather not spend the $$$ for something like Final Cut Pro 5, because I really don't need anything that fancy to make the kinds of movies we do. Is there any other free/shareware software that will import video from the PV-GS300?
    Anyway, please let me know what happens with your importing and, if successful, how you did it. After two days of trying, I'm out of ideas.

    my messages on my iphone 4 receive but i cannot get into the application to read or reply to them

    If the messaging app is crashing at launch, and it is not fixed by a reboot, you will have to restore the device to factory settings, and then choose the set up as new option. Restoring to factory, and then restoring from a backup will return the issue to your iPhone.
    If it is all saved to iCloud or your computer(outside of iTunes) then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings. This will erase all info from your iPhone! So be sure you have your stuff saved, erase & in the start menu up choose "Set Up As New," sign in with iCloud/Apple ID, get back to texting like a boss.

    I changed my Apple ID and password last week.  Today I cannot get into my computer with the new password..help!

    Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
    The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

    You are following the instructions on this page for creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. selecting a free app in the store and tapping on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' the app ? I've just tried it and it works for me

    My dad and I have shared an iTunes account for years and I just created a new apple id but I have no Idea how to get all those purchases to this new account. Help please?

    The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not.  However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

    I cannot get my mobile me calendar to load. Can anyone help me?

    I don't know if we can help you. This is almost certainly the wrong forum, but perhaps we can help you there too. Let's start with some questions
    1. What software (app) are you using to try to open the PDF files, including version number if you know it?
    2. If you are using a browser, what is it?
    3. Are you on Mac or Windows?
    4. Is the PDF file on your hard drive (own computer), on a web site, or somewhere else?
    5. What EXACTLY happens when you try to open the PDF? If you get a message, what is the message IN FULL?
    Please answer all questions carefully.
