Canon HV20. Anyone using one? Any problems with iMovie HD?

So as a follow up to my other post about the Sony, has anyone been using Canon's HV20 with iMovie hd? If I can't get the older Sony to run with iMovie, I'd probably check this out over the Sony HD model, given all the reviews I've read. I really would like an external mic ability, in case I want to use a lavaliere mic for an interview. It appears that the Sony will not allow me to use one. I assume that I can easily plug this model into a MacBook and run it from iMovie, as well as import and edit clips.
Thoughts?

There is a box in the top right corner of this discussion group labeled "Search Discussions". Just type HV20 in there. There have been a couple of threads lately on the HV20.

Has anyone else had any problems with their phone over heating and shutting down?

I've had my phone for less a month and I've already had issues with my iphone 4. On several occassions it has overheated and shut down. On one occasion I put the phone in the side pocket of my purse where, I also had a charger for my camera. When I removed the phone, it was hot...not warm but hot! On another occasion I was at the movies and put the phone face down on my lap, at one point i touched the phone and again it was hot. When the movie was over, and I looked at the phone it had shut down....this has happened a few times more since then. I've also had problems with the phone shutting down on it's own. I took it to my local apple store and the representative looked at my phone and ran a diagnostic check for me. He said the everything on my phone looked normal and that my phone probably needs a "breaking in" period...to give it a couple of months...He really didn't tell me much more...I don't use my phone for more than the basics...calling, texting, and some mild app use...I don't understand how I can be having these problems when I've had my phone for less than a month...The rep tried selling my the Apple insurance. He told me that through ATT I only have 30 days, and I would be better off getting this insurance. I feel very dissastisfied with the service I got. I was done with my appointment within 10 mins, I don't think the representative took the time to listen to my concerns.

Thanks for your reply, but I guess whether this was a silly question is a matter of opinion. That is the whole purpose having these forums...so that people can post their questions, silly or not. Maybe you are an Apple expert or have "techy" knowledge, but I don't. So what may be silly or stupid for you, can be completely different for a novice apple consumer like me. If you must know, I did do my research, and I did do the basic trouble shooting.All to no avail. I took my phone to the apple store, had it diagnosed and was told some very inaccurate information. I ended up going back today, and got a second opinion. This person actually took the time to talk to me and to better explain Applecare and my warranty. She also told me that there is no such thing as a "break in" period, and when there is a shutting down issue, even after a "restore" that it was better to get it replaced. Which is what she did. She replaced my phone. Obviously, the first person, by his own admission, was too tired and ready to go home to actually take the time to explain and offer other options...

Anyone using 10.5.7 with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08/09

I have iLife 09 and use iMovie 06 (naturally) with iDVD 09 (same as iDVD 08).
Before I get 10.5.7 I was hoping to hear from someone that is using this combination.
Presently, I am having no difficulties with 10.5.6, iMovie 06 and iDVD 09.

You can have both versions of iMovie on the same computer at the same time, but iDVD6 will be replaced by iDVD8/9 (both are the same versions). You cannot have both versions of other iLife apps, only iMovie.
If your new MBP came with iLife 09 installed, you should have been able to install iMovie 6 and have it reside peacefully with iMovie 09. However, I think I recall reading here that you may have to reinstall iM9. Reinstalling it should have put the iMovie 6 app in a folder called 'iMovie Previous version' Once you have the iLife 09 apps reinstalled, you can pull the iM6 app out of that previous-version folder and put in directly into your Applications folder.
iMovie 6 works completely with iDVD 8/9. After you get iMovie 6 back, create a simple test movie with some short DV clips and then open iDVD 8/9, create a new project and try dragging in your iMovie. See how it works.
Post back if you are still having problems.

Has anyone used one of these with success.

I have my eye on a Adaptec fireconnect afw-1430 but I have a 333 Lombard and the system requirements say a 400 or later. I know from some programs that say similar claims usualy work with less but I would hate to order this and it not even install because it see's I have a 333 and not a 400 ( have had that happen also ) .

freefour,
FireWire PC cards work just fine in any powerbook that natively supports CardBus (32-bit) PC cards, and Apple added this technology to the Powerbook G3 Series Wallstreet and newer. Earlier powerbooks would only support the PCMCIA (16-bit) standard. I run a FireWire PC card in my Wallstreet and it works just fine.
There are a few limitations with FireWire and USB PC cards:
-You cannot boot an external FireWire HD through a PC card; only built-in FireWire ports support this feature.
-FireWire and USB cards supply only minimal bus power, so you will want to have your external devices powered by their own power supply. For example, if you wanted to run a 2.5" FW HD, you will need a power adapter for the HD. This adapter is optional on some 2.5" FW HDs but all 3.5 HDs come with their own power supply.
If you are running 10.x, the necessary FireWire drivers are already installed. If running 9.x, you will need to install Apple's FW drivers, so post back if you need help adding these drivers.

Is anyone else having any problems with their music in your library, in the middle of all my songs I'm getting a skipping noise. Never had this problem before. Can someone help?

I have Windows Vista and last week I upgraded my iTunes, i think it's up to 11. something or other and now all my music in my iTunes library has this scratch-type noise in the middle of the song. I've never had this issue before, all my songs played wonderfully and now every song has this scratching-type noise in the middle of it. Can someone help me?

OK, after looking into the settings on "my account" on the Verizon website, it appears that "caller ID" was removed from my "features" on my line. The only reason I actually noticed this is because I have the same phone as someone else on our account, so I looked at their features and noticed mine was missing. Any idea how to get it back on there? I can't seem to figure it out.

Any one having problems with Imovie 10 not opening on os maverick it worked once only

Reinstall iMovie 10 and see if that fixes things.

SOLVED - Has anyone had any problems with xorg 1.11.14-1?

Last night I had a double catastrophe. The first was nothing to do with Linux, but was the result of a rogue drive trashing my sata ports and killing both Arch and Windows. I managed to rescue Windows, but since Arch was running at the time (and updating) nothing I tried could bring it back. After restoring from a backup (10 days old) I started the updates again (a gargantuan 415Mb) which completed, though after a reboot X failed to start. Nothing in the logs, and no activity at all. My usual fix is to remove xorg.conf and reboot, which will generally get me to the desktop to troubleshooting stage using vesa drivers instead of catalyst, but even this couldn't get me to a desktop. I tried removing catalyst altogether from single user mode, but nothing would fix.
I restored the backup again, and did all updates except kernel, catalyst, and xorg. Everything worked fine, so next I updated catalyst - still working. A fresh backup and I updated the kernel. Still working, which means the only thing not updated at this point (and in my mind the most likely culprit for the failures) is xorg.
Now I'm not daft enough to try updating before I make a fresh backup (I've remade several tweaks to my system that got lost after the original crash), but before I go to the trouble, I wondered has anyone else had any problems with the updated xorg?
For info, I'm running on a Phenom X4 965BE, AMD 4670HD with catalyst 12.1, kernel 3.2.2-1.
TIA

Any idea where the problem was?
X also fails to start for me now, when the catalyst driver is loaded. It used to work before, but after recent upgrades and changes to the system it's somehow broken.
(Same catalyst and xorg versions as you mentioned, but with kernel 3.2.4-1)
Switching to the open-source radeon driver makes X start fine, switching back to catalyst breaks it again.

Upgrading from OSX 10.58 to 10.6 - any problems with previously installed software anyone?

I was wondering if anyone had had any problems with their current software after installing 10.6? (I'm asking because I have a substantial investment in the Adobe Creative Suites and don't want to lose it.) Has anyone had any problems after installing 10.6? Thank you in advance for any replies.

I would check the Adobe web site to see if it will be compatible. If there is an issue you may consider a partitioned HDD and run the two OSs each on separate partitions.
Ciao.

Has anyone had any problems with the 10.0.3 upgrade?

I'm running WinXP and presently have Adobe Reader 9.4.3. Before I upgrade I would like to find out if anyone has had any problems with the new release? The last time I upgraded an Adobe product (Flash) it screwed up my ability to watch videos on my browser.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Spin45

Adobe Reader has the original 10.0.0 with its associated vulnerabilities and the patch of 10.0.1 which seems unable to run in protected mode in my environment or any that have roaming profiles. The vulnerabilities that prompted the last two patches (would have been 10.0.2 and 10.0.3) have been forgone by Adobe, because "Protected Mode mitigates those vulenrabilities". See here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-06.html
and here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
In my opinion, Reader X is not ready, they are soliciting for testers for a new release. Version 9 with its attendant problems seems to be the only viable solution for me, if I can get the patches to apply properly, and the installer to work properly.

Any problems with lion running on core 2 duo 2007 MBPro ?

Curious to hear if anyone has had any problems with Lion before I upgrade.
Thanks.

OK, so this is a shot in the dark, but maybe it's worth a try.
Since the problem only occurs when running on battery, perhaps changing the Energy Saver settings to match the settings used for when it's plugged in will fix the problem. The default settings for how the computer operates are different for the battery and power adaptor. When you unplug the power, the computer automatically shifts to the alternate settings.
So, try this:
-Open System Preferences->Energy Saver
-In the "Settings for" drop-down menu, select "Battery".
-In the "Optimization" drop-down menu, select "Better Performance".
-Under the Sleep tab, choose "Never" for both computer and display sleep and uncheck the box for "Put the hard disk to sleep when possible".
-Under the Options tab, uncheck the first two boxes.

Any problem with a single MySQL database used on more than one site?

I have a set of multiple sites hosted separately I'm working on. I'd like to set up a PHP/MySQL database on one site, and be able to pull data from it for completely separate sites. Seems like it shouldn't be a problem. Are there any problems with doing this I need to be aware of?

I've set up databases on three different hosts, and in all cases I could access the databases from outside the domain of the site itslef. GoDaddy is one of them, they used to restrict it, but now they give you the option when setting up a new database on your account.

I am going to buy unlocked iphone 5.. i will be going to india nxt months and will stay there for a while... so my question is will i get warrenty in india.. and will there be any problem with using indian sims..?? thnx for the help..

The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
Problem description:
I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Everything in the box with iPhone is covered by the iPhone warranty ,go to Apple genius bar before warranty expires

Has anyone have any problems with 5s "sticking"?

Has anyone had any problems with the 5s iPhone "sticking"? It's happened to me twice where I press the home button, and nothing happens.

Yes. Very sticky. especially the first time you go to click it after not using it for a bit. Mine feels similar to if there were crumbs underneath, or parts crunching together.
I just got off phone with Apple. I thought it was my imagination and being too sensitive until just now seeing other posts having same complaint. Apple rep on phone said it was not normal and for me to get it swapped out.

Canon HV20. Anyone using one? Any problems with iMovie HD?
