Cheap camcorder suggestions / that can be easily uploaded to computer for editing

Hi all,
I am looking for a camcorder for under $150 for my son who likes to make little videos. He wants to be able to upload the video to his computer and edit them. He does have Microsoft movie maker. What would you suggest, the kind that have the USB port or the ones that record on to SD cards? Also what type of file should the recording be in, so you can edit it? Sorry I have no idea about editing features. Any camcorder suggest would be appreciated.

If you are looking for a simple camcorder for fun little videos, and not for professional ones, I would reccomend the Kodak Playsport HD Camcorder. For the price, its is a nice little camcorder that shoots in 1080p and takes 5 MP stills. It connects to your computer via USB, so you can easily transfer the videos and pictures to your computer, and has an expandable memory slot so you can hold more videos and pictures at a time. It's also waterproof up to 10 feet, which is always a fun little feature. Great starter camera for fun videos to share with friends, family, and on the internet.

How big do you believe an ATV is? They are tiny compared to most devices.
The ATV is the only AirPlay receiver, short of an actual AV receiver with AirPlay support, but those are MUCH larger.

Your SQL Server 2012 is already at SP2 see version number 11.0.5058 this corresponds to SP2. So when you run the setup it says there is nothing to upgrade

When I went to the Quicken site I was routed to a third party tech company that asked me to download a software that allowed them to access my computer for a remote session to fix my computer. Is that a scam? I did not do it but how do I get my Quicken 2007 to work with Mountain Lion?

Ahhh, I see that you did not allow them to connect (is this true)
Here is a link to the Lion/Mountain Lion compatible version of Quicken.

Can I use only one computer for driver development?

Hi! I'm newbie in driver development and now is first day when I make the acquaintance of driver development. There is the next phrase in MSDN in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh706187(v=vs.85).aspx
: "For developing, debugging, and installing a kernel-mode driver, you need two computers". But I unfortunately have only one computer and I have to develop the USB Kernel Mode driver as technical assignment for admission to the job.
My computer is under Windows 7 OS and already has standard USB driver. I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and WDK 8.1 Update on my computer. Can I use only one computer for driver development and debugging or not?

no, not really, you need two. you can use a VM as the machine under test though.

My 21" display on iMac (mid 2010) is overheating so much I can't sit at my computer for more than an hour or so. Very hot. Also, some shadowy shapes appear in the background on the upper left of the screen. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Quicktime X - export for web creates files that can't be uploaded

I'm trying to post a video to my website that can be viewed via computer or iphone. I used the "save for web" command and checked all three options: iphone, iphone (cellular), computer. There resulting folder had all three files and a reference ".mov" file which I understand will select the correct file based on the device being used to access the movie. I created an .html file based on the instructions and even used the sample file to make sure everything worked on the local level. The only problem is that when I went to upload the folder to the web, I couldn't upload any of the actual movie files because there were spaces in the file names, for example: the file named "olympics" was automatically saved as "olympics - iPhone (Cellular).3gp" and "olympics - iPhone.m4v," etc. The server would not me to upload files with spaces in the name. When I tried to remove the spaces and ext. puncutation, the files could upload but were no longer seen by the reference mov called "olympics.mov". Is there a solution to this problem, either in the way the reference movie is created or in the way the files could be uploaded with spaces? Thank you for your help...

Hi Kim,
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Are they sill that way on Safe Mode?
Is Spotlight trying to index that drive?

Is there a format for at PDF form that can be filled out, saved locally and edited continually afterwards?

hello
on the html-based form http://www.samtaleterapi.com/oversigter/psykoterapi.html there isnt the functionality i want
it can only be filled out and printed
what i want is a form that can be filled out, saved locally on people's own computers, and and that the local copy can be edited and saved anew continually
can PDF do this?
can the end users edit and save the form with no other program than adobe reader?
if so, is this a specific format of PDF?
and if so, how do i create it?
thanks
rasmus

You can indeed create a PDF form that can be opened, filled out and saved by users of Adobe Reader. It simply requires one of the later versions of Adobe Acrobat. It has a function to enable this ability in PDF's.
The one down side is that there are usage limits (how many times form data can be collected) that you would want to familiarize yourself with in advance to be sure you don't violate the EULA. Exactly how thos limitations work are up to interpretation...

I have scanned about 1600 pages of 100-year old documents and saved them as pdf files. I would like to search them for keywords and phrases. Can anyone recommend software that can be used as an index for these documents?

If you have Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) the program can perform an OCR on the document you acquired.
In the past I used ABBYY FineReader

Anyone with CS4 that can convert a file to CS3 for me?

Hey All,
I'm using cs5.5 to design something for work, however my work uses cs3.... i only just learned that indesign isn't backwards compatible. Any chance anyone with cs4 can export to a cs3 file for me?

InDesign is not forwards compatible: any version of it cannot read files created with newer ones.
That's nothing to be amazed about. Most software is not forwards compatible, I only know of one exception, and that is Microsoft Word.
InDesign is backwards compatible all the way to CS (v.3) at least -- the modern vsns of InDesign should still be able to read those files.

Only Microsoft's Office for Mac 2011 14.4.8 will work on your Windows Office files in their native document format. Anything else, and particularly Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will perform translation on open, and export. This can, and will, introduce differences to your original documents, especially when sharing with others in the Windows Office 2010/2013 applications.
Here is my short list.
Office for Mac 2011 v14.4.8
LibreOffice (latest)
The current iterations of Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are not what I would term business/professional grade applications. Apple updates them infrequently, ignores user friendly features, omits others, and has introduced default backwards incompatibility between Yosemite and prior OS X releases of these applications. Read the reviews in the OS X App Store. Even for free with a recent Mac purchase, these products will transform your mood.
The free LibreOffice is aggressively developed and designed as an MS Office replacement suite. There are occasions where it can open documents that Office for Mac, and Apple's products ignore. Extensive PDF manuals for the individual applications. Unlike Word, you can have two-up page viewing with a button click, or edit multi-page PDF. There is a forms designer. It can open nearly any document including MS Publisher and Visio documents from the Windows space. I use it.
MS Office 2015 Preview for Yosemite is available, but as its title would suggest, it is not done yet, and some features are missing. I created a single-page Word document with a DRAFT watermark. Only LibreOffice v4.4.1 was able to open this document and preserve the watermark.

How do I delete info/apps that were originally on my sisters computer for her iPod and I've accidentally downloaded them to my IPad 2 and don't want them on my iPad.

Hi I am new to iPad and have an ipad2. My sister and I share a laptop, she has loads of apps and music files on laptop, which she downloaded to her IPod. I then got my iPad and have somehow downloaded all her music and apps onto the iPad. Which I don't want can anyone tell me how to get rid of the, thank you.

Just delete anything you don't want off your device.You can set up different sync settings for each device in future. Check this out: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
If you have different user accounts on your laptop, just make sure your logged in to your account when you plug in, and your sister logs into hers when she plugs in. If you have just one user on the laptop that you share, the link above will help.

HT201364 I have tried to download OS X Maverick on to my MacBook Pro. Here the error message I received "the product distribution file could not be verified. It must be damaged or was not signed. Can I still used the computer for others projects?

How can this error be corrected? "The product distribution file could not be vverified. It must be damaged or was not signed. So can this error be repaired? I have read good things about this updated software. I really looking forward to enjoying the benefits of using OS X Mavrick softtware in my daily life.
Another question can I operate laptop with other project while it is downloading?
Thanks,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HD Sony Video .m2ts. Can I import them into iMovie for editing?

Hi
I have all my video files stored on a hard disk. I am thinking of buying a new MAC and want to know if iMovies can import .m2ts HD video for editing and playback? I see from support section that its ok straight from the camera but what about my older videos located on the hard disk?
Thanks!

You need to save to the camera roll of the iPad, not the Movies app.
So you will need to save the videos to the iPad via the Photos Tab.
If you can see the video in the photos app then iMovie can see them.
If you can see the videos in the movies app then iMovie cannot (Movies is for copyright movies so iMovie does not look there).
There are a few threadson here that have the same question as yours.
You can have a look at them.
