Getting "webcam" to record on imovie '09?

I have a camera connected to my computer by USB chord.
webcam: xbox360 Microsoft camera
I know it works because I have used it on the application "photobooth"
With my old version of imovie I was able to record directly from the camera and have it automatically saved in my project.
Now I try to click the "import movie" icon (the picture of the camcorder) but it doesn't recognize my webcam. Is there a way I can get imovie to recognize it?
I've tried the following;
•Plugging it directly into the computer (it's a "Dell" desktop)
•Unplugging it and replugging it
•Disk Utilities
•The Online tutorials(but it only would help with a built-in isight camera and I don't have one, so it didn't help)
Is there something I can to do make it work?

Welcome to Discussions, KayleMaria09
See Apple's "Other Tapeless Device Support" suggestions at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#3
If you do not already have an app that can record video, I suggest you get QuickTime Pro:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/
It is a great tool for all kinds of quick video (and audio) recording/editing, and the files it saves are guaranteed compatible with your iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, and Mac's other Apple software. For more complex editing, you can easily import your recorded QT video files into iMovie. For audio recordings that you make with QT Pro, I find it easiest to first import them into iTunes. Then use iMovie's "Music and Sound Effects" to import the audio into iMovie.
I could not tell which Mac you use, but if you do not want to buy QT Pro, some of the Movie Capture apps from this list might work with your webcam:

Before you buy anything non-Apple, be sure to check the System Requirements to be sure that the software will work with your system.

Why can't I get stereo sound recording to iMovie through audio line in?

I am recording some keyboard music from a digital keyboard (Yamaha pf85) into iMovie HD 6 on my laptop through the audio line in. I have connected Output I from the keyboard to the audio line in using a mini jack adapter. This is supposed to record the music in Mono, but it will only play back on the left side of the spectrum. There is no right side sound at all. The keyboard has twin outputs, so I have also tried connecting Outputs I and II to the laptop's line in, using a twin mini jack adapter, but the music still only plays back on the left side. What's happened to the right side?
I have transferred the movie to my desktop Mac (PowerPC G4 with OS 10.4.11) but I get the same problem.
I've tried exporting the movie to QuickTime, but still the same problem.
What am I doing wrong? How can I record/playback the sound on both sides of the spectrum?

Thanks for these suggestions, which are blinding but have not solved it.
1) All cables OK and fully inserted.
2) I tried recording a voice over into iMovie using a USB mic/headset and that was in mono but played back through both channels, so laptop and iMovie are OK recording with USB.
3) I tried recording from the keyboard into iMovie and QuickTime on the laptop in three different ways through line in: first using both Outputs, then using Output I only and finally using Output II only. On all three occasions, the sound played back on the laptop through the left channel only. The keyboard itself has two inbuilt speakers and a headphone socket and both are providing mono sound through left and right channels, which suggests it's not faulty.
I then tried recording sound only from the keyboard into Quicktime on my desktop Mac, using the same cables and adapter. Left channel only.
I guess this means either the adapter is faulty or it's something to do with the way my keyboard outputs sound. I'll try your other suggestion. Or maybe I just need a hardware interface to route the separate channels. That seems excessive for what I want to achieve.

I have a JVC video camera and it records the video to a .mod format (which Apple devices don't support). I figured out how to get them to iPhoto using iMovie but I want to be able to get the videos on my iPad 2 but it won't let it sync. Any help?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Calling all sound wizards: webcam not recording audio

Hey guys so I just bought a Creative Live! HD 1080 webcam to record video on my computer, and for some odd reason, the audio does not record with the video when I use the webcam's software. I experienced the same issue using ManyCam, but I did find that SmartPixel webcam software recorded audio when I used my headset, however it did not record audio with just the webcam mic.
I've tried just about everything in the control panel that would be related to sound, and that doesn't seem to be solving the issue. I also went to accessories: sound recorder to see if the audio would record from there, and it did.
I want to also note that the same issue occurred while using the Logitech c920. I returned that one because I could not get the audio OR video to record.
I am currently using Realtek High Definition Audio and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've updated all drivers.
There must be a solution to this - anyone have some bright ideas?

How to get the last record from the database

I am using MS Access database and Swings as GUI. I want to get the last record of a particular column from the table and store it as a varaible.

Hi
To get Last record of resultset, you have pass some parameter in constructor of CreateStatement.In such case Resultset should be scrollable and Readonly
Example
objStatement=objCon.createStatement ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
mwwResultSet=cwwStatement.executeQuery(mwwSqlQuery);
while(mwwResultSet.next())
if(mwwResultSet.isLast())
//Fetch the required column record.
String abc=mwwResultSet.getString(1);
I think this will work. Try it.

Where can I get an older version of iMovie?

I recently upgraded to Leopard and after the first attempt some of the programs didn't perform properly. Long story short, the Geniuses at the Mac store told me to do an archive install but I was unable to (not enough hard drive space) and had to do a clean install. I had backed up all of my documents and files but lost all of my programs. Not a big deal as most were old and needed to be upgraded anyway.
The problem: I bought iLife 08 from the Mac store and installed it. Everything installed properly except for iMovie. It wouldn't install because my video card isn't sufficient to run iMovie 08 (or something like that).
I don't remember what version was on previously, but it worked great with Tiger. I have a 15 month old and we are constantly making camcorder movies and I really need an operable version of iMovie.
Since I bought iLife 08 I don't feel like I should have to buy any more software. I should be able to get an older version under the 08 license, IMO.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

How can I get my (vinyl) record music into iTunes Match?

I have a rather large collection of music on CDs, Tapes, and records.
Now that iTunes Match exists I would like to include all of my music into my iTunes library.
There is no easy way (that I know of) to load anything except CDs into iTunes. So for the rest of the library one must either buy all the music again or buy equipment to play the music one time and convert it to a newer format.
My CD collection is mostly loaded and since 99.999% (virtually all) of that music is already in iTunes Match it is not uploaded to iTunes again, but it quickly becomes available to play on all my iTunes Authorized Devices.
With the exception of that 1 in ten thousand songs that I may have that iTunes does not have in the Match library there is no reason to import the music at all - other than to prove I have the actual CD's. (In any case I suppose I could have borrowed them for that anyway.)
However for CDs at least they can be imported - but for tapes and records I know of no direct way.
With something state-of-the-art like iTunes Match and my PC(s), iPhone(s) and iPad, why use stone-age-like means to prove ownership of outside-of-iTunes music?
Why not provide some other information to identify albums owned and have them available in iTunes Match without the 99.999% useless step of loading them?
In fact for most tape music it is no longer playable (to convert) as the rollers in the tape devices deteriorate and they no longer play.
Vinyl records play just fine, just not easily into a PC without purchase of expensive equipment that would be used only for the one-time load (which is really just for proof-of-ownership).
What a ridiculous waste of time, energy and funds for that 1 in 10,000 songs that may not yet exist in the iTunes Match library. Okay, as the music gets older it may even be 2 in 10,000 - but I doubt it.
I remember that each album (and 45 rpm single) has identifying information scratched into it (around the inside of the innermost track) - can that (or something else) suffice as proof of ownership to get the music into iTunes Match?
Please respond with ideas to quickly and easily get already-owned vinyl record music into an iTunes Match library.
I personally do not care if 1 (or 2) out of 10,000 of my songs gets lost because it is not in the iTunes Match library - couldn't be that good in that case anyway.
Thanks!!

I too have not figured out how to convert my vinyl collection to iTunes match. Here is what I have tried:
I record my vinyl records onto CD using a Sony RCD-W500C which makes a very high quality recording. I make sure the song lengths are the same as those from the same album at the iTunes store.
Then I import the CD into my iTunes music library. I have to enter the names of the tracks manually because Gracenote cannot identify the names of the songs. I do this while the music is in my iTunes music library and the CD has been ejected from my PC.
Then I try to get the iTunes Match, but it never works. I do, however, get the artwork from iTunes. iTunes then uploads my songs into the iCloud. When I download them back onto my PC and iPhone 4s, I get the identicle recording that I imported onto iTunes. I know this because I can hear the static and crackling of the vinyl. I don't necessarily mind that noise, but I figured if I paid for the iTunes Match I should get the AAC 256 bps music. After all it doesn't cost iTunes anything to give it to me. And there's no way I'm going to purchase all my vinyl records again. I have about 500 albums.
I do buy all my new music from iTunes because I think it is the best system available. I just think it could be so much better if they would let me download the highest quality recording of the music I own from them.
I have also tried the Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio which records my vinyl records into a music file on my PC. But that doesn't get the match either.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL US WHAT ITUNES MATCH LOOKS AT IN OUR MUSIC UPLOADS THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THEY GIVE US THE MATCH!!!!!!
When you download a CD, there is some information embedded in the CD that iTunes matches. I don't believe there is any information embeded in the vinyl albums, but when I burn them onto a CD-maybe I could add the info onto the CD before trying to match it if I just knew what they looked for.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

How can i get all the records from three tables(not common records)

Hi
I have four base tables at R/3-Side. And i need to extract them from R/3-Side.
And i dont have any standard extractor for these tables .
If i create a 'View' on top of these tables. Then it will give only commom records among the three tables.
But i want all the records from three base tables (not only common).
So how can i get the all records from three tables. please let me know
kumar

You can create separate 3 datasources for three tables and extract data to BW. There you can implement business login to build relation between this data.

Getting Duplicate data Records error while loading the Master data.

Hi All,
We are getting Duplicate data Records error while loading the Profit centre Master data. Master data contains time dependent attributes.
the load is direct update. So i made it red and tried to reloaded from PSA even though it is throwing same error.
I checked in PSA. Showing red which records have same Profit centre.
Could any one give us any suggestions to resolve the issues please.
Thanks & Regards,
Raju

Hi Raju,
I assume there are no routines written in the update rules and also you ae directly loading the data from R/3 ( not from any ODS). If that is the case then it could be that, the data maintained in R/3 has overlapping time intervals (since time dependency of attributes is involved). Check your PSA if the same profit center has time intervals which over lap. In that case, you need to get this fixed in R/3. If there are no overlapping time intervals, you can simply increase the error tolerance limit in your info-package and repeat the load.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks & Regards,
Nithin Reddy.

Can I get an old version of Imovie to macbook OS X 10.6.8

Can I get an old version of Imovie to macbook OS X 10.6.8?

How old? iMovie 6 upwards will work with Snow Leopard, iMovie 5 and below will not.
If you are asking how to install it, use your original install disks, then Software Update to get the latest version of the particular version of iMovie you have installed.
