HD camcorders that will work with imovie.

I am considering replacing my old Sony mini DV SD camcorder with a mid quality HD one. I read that there are problems with most of them on the apple website. Does anyone know which memorycard camcorder will work with imovie or do I have to go with an old HD DVtape one? It will be used mainly to video show jumping indoors. There are good discontinued Sony ones still available but I would prefer newer technology and it needs to be reasonably compact and light, but a step up from entry level.

This is a user to user forum. Think of it as asking for help from a neighbor. They will generally help if they can. You can ask your neighbor to borrow a cup of sugar. But don't get mad at your neighbor if they don't have any sugar.
The etiquette here is that generally people do not clutter up a thread with "I don't know" answers. The fact that I don't know doesn't mean that there isn't an answer, and when someone posts that answer, it makes it difficult to find if a bunch of people are chiming in with "I don't know."
If you have a problem that no one knows the answer to, usually the best thing is to contact Apple directly. There is a "Contact Us" link at the bottom right of this page. I don't know what support infrastructure Apple may have in your country, but you can find it at the contact us link.
Good luck.

  • Video camera that will work with imovie

    I've been asked to look into getting a video camera for work. Mostly to do interviews and product demonstration. I can see the potential for more. I did borrow a Mini DVD video camera last year. Had to jump through 2 hoops and save 2 different ways in order to just finally view the stuff on the computer. Never mind edit it. I don't seem to be alone with these problems of video camera/mac compatibility. Pain in the…
    I'm looking to plug and play into my mac and hopefully use iMovie to edit.
    What are some of the best choices under about a grand? Preferably $500?…
    Thanks for you expertise!

    If you want high definition, pick a camcorder off this [list of supported camcorders|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014] for iMovie 08. There is a slightly different list for iMovie 09. Pick an AVCHD model in either SDHC card or hard drive format. DVD camcorders are not recommended (by me) because people have too much trouble with them.
    If standard definition is good enough, any miniDV camcorder will do.

  • I need to install an App that will work with my iOS. How do I get an earlier App that is not now in the App Store?

    I have an iPod Touch that can only run iOS 3.1.3. I have had Zinio & PressReader (both free Apps) installed on it for many years, and subscribe to a number of Magazines and Newspapers. I had backed up the iPod in September 2012. Today, I had to restore the iOS from the backup, but saw that Zinio and PressReader had not been installed. I am aware that the iTunes store explains that the latest versions are for iOS 4.3, but I need the latest version that will work with my iPod on iOS 3.1.3.
    Does anyone know how I can get hold of the earlier versions of the "ipa" files, short of asking the publishers themselves?
    And, should I expect the Publishers to release the appropriate ipa to me?

    You aren't being left in any lurch. Your hardware is obsolete, and the software world has moved on. If you have a qualm about the matter then discuss it with the software's developers. Apple is not responsible for software they do not develop. This is technology, and you will just need to get used to it.

  • Looking for shelf system that will work with 5th gen 8g Nano?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a shelf stereo system with integrated iPod dock that will work with my 5th gen 8 gig Nano that I received as a gift. I've been researching this and have a found a few candidates such as the JVC UX-GN8 or UX-LP5, or the SONY CMT-BX20i. But... have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model. Anyone have one of those units, or something similar, that works? Also, is it true that the Apple Cradle ($49.99+cable) has some problems docking the 5th generation Nano in the sense that all the features are not accessible (audio, video, etc.)? Thanks for any and all responses.

    have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model.
    If their websites do not specifically state that their product works with the *iPod Nano 5th Generation _with video,*_ its more likely their product is not compatible. You can try calling them if possible to confirm.
    Have you checked MacMall's website?

  • I had this video file and I was trying to flip it to a format that would work with iMovie.  It used to have the Quicktime image with it.  So, I assume it was a QT file.  But, somehow I've changed the file from a video to a folder.

    Any reliable brand that claims Mac compatibility.

  • DIFFICULTY FINDING A HIDDEN CLEANER THAT WILL WORK WITH YOSEMITE

    I used to own an older Mac, a 2010 Mac to be exact with the disc drive in the side of the computer.  I downloaded HIDDEN CLEANER to get rid of junk files that showed up when I transferred music to my Sansa Clip +.  This Hidden Cleaner worked very well.  I now have a new 2015  Mac with Yosemite Operating System, and the old Hidden Cleaner will not work.  Can anyone recommend something that will work with my new Yosemite Operating System.  I have put over 1000 songs into this and would like to add about 500 more however, I am stuck.Please help.  Anyone. 

    For automated tools, I was only aware of Hidden Cleaner and KopyMac, the latter of which I believe disappeared a bunch of years back . . . .   Hopefully, some Mac folks will have other suggestions.

  • PCMCIA ethernet card (wired) that will work with 10.4 tiger?

    i have unfortunately fried my ethernet port on my 1.33 al powerbook (applecare expired). I must use an ethernet PC adapter card that will work with Tiger 10.4.
    The Dlink adapter although mention OSX support only works until 10.3.9.
    Anyone here got suggestions as to which PC card to get?

    Check Cisco. Also Google your need, i.e. "ethernet pc card and Mac". You should be able to research from there.

  • DKA790GX Platinum - What's the best card that will work with hybrid crossfire?

    Hi everyone. I know this board is a bit old now but I've set it up for my kids to play oldish games and it occurred to me that video cards from that era might be inexpensive these days. What's the best possible card to use with the on-board card for its hybrid crossfire? Would it be better to just get a separate standalone card? If so what's the best that will work with this board? I'm completely out of the loop these days on tech and have no idea what will even be compatible anymore.

    Good news! I resolved my graphics issues without buying a new card. It all came down to a little logic. It used to work just fine. The game it's installed off the same disc as before, and there us no noticeable change in the install media. The hardware has not changed unless there has been some sort of electrical damage I cannot see. I had however updated my drivers many times over the last few years, and always from the AMD website.
    I installed the latest MSI drivers for my onboard graphics and voila, it works!
    All graphical glitches are now gone, though it runs a but slower.
    I may still buy a new card. I'm favouring the HD4870x2 as the top of my motherboard's era or the slightly newer HD5770 which some reviews say is equivalent in performance. The latter uses the same GPU and shaders as the 6770 and is considerably cheaper.
    If I go with NVidia it seems the best card in my price range is the 440GT.
    Thanks, everyone, for all the advice!
    i'd say the 790GX chipset would run a saphire radeon HD5770 card fine i have 1 of them on a different maufactures board that uses the AMD 690GX chipset and i have put both my HD5770's in that with crossfire on and had no issues at all just to try it out!
    and the AMD 690GX is a lower more old chipset then the one your board has so i wouldnt see any issues with the board not accepting the HD 5770 cards at all!
    i like the saphire branded ones better as they run much cooler and quieter then a stock card!

  • What is the latest version of Firefox that will work with Windows ME?

    We were recently given an older Gateway laptop that we intend to use solely as an internet terminal. Alas, it is running Windows ME and I don't even know if it has all the specs to upgrade (and certainly not to Vista, which is the only thing we have an install disk for). It currently has Firefox 2.0.0.20, which of course contains numerous security vulnerabilities and is incompatible with most newer plugins. What is the best version of Firefox that will work with Windows ME, and is it still available for download? Thanks!

    Hmm... guess this will be just an e-mail terminal, hardly anything else works cuz I can't update Flash! Thanks for your help.

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...
