How to make iMovie 08 record back to camcorder

Cant figure this out. Share doesn't list camera. Export neither.

+I have all 10 volumes of slick.+
Nice! I have only about 3 of them, but I use them with every movie I make. They wouldn't work with Intel iMac....I copied them over from my old G4 iMac, but GeeThree has universal updates for all their volumes. I just emailed them and they were great about getting me the updates quickly via email link to their download site.
I'm with you about iM08....I think they should have called it iVideo and marketed it as a nice addition to the iLife Suite. The salespeople at Apple Store around here said that the new iMovie was a response to numerous people who just found it 'way too hard' to work with iMovie 6!! LOL!!!
I did do a short little movie with FCE just to see how to work with it. It seems to be a great program, but it takes time and is not so intuitive as iMovie6, nor does have iTunes and iPhoto integrated into it. I did like the different tracks. I think I will probably work with it sometime in the future, but I have been working on a huge project to put all our family video and photos onto DVDs.
So far, I have done so for the years 1979 (the year our daughter was born) to 1995. I feel I really have iMovie6 down now, and it seems to go fast once I get the photos scanned in and edited. I am currently working on 1996. That year and 1997 and 1998 are 'bigger' event years, but 2000-2004 are less, so I am hoping to get those done more quickly. Once I finish 2006 and 2007, I plan to go backwards and make a couple of DVDs from the 'early' years of each side of the family for my husband's and mine. (We have some photos from 1890s).Then, my large, time-consuming projects will be done and I can start doing a bit more creative stuff, working a bit more with FCE and maybe iMovie 09 or 10 or whatever version it is up to then

How to make iMovie to read ADVC-110???

I'm struggling how to make iMovie to recognize my Canopus ADVC-110 so I can transfer my VHS tapes to iMovie..
Pleease help

Hi s
< When I open up iMovie HD - which video format do I use? >
• DV
• Go down under the viewer window and You can select Camera or a pare of siccors.
Camera should have a black triangle and let You select iSight or ADVC. If not it doesn't detect the
ADVC
• Most probably it is. 6-pin end is about double the size and is rectangular eccept on short end that
are curved to prevent wrong turning
4-pin end is smaller and has an indent on one of it's longer sides for same reason.
If it is not dectected on either of Your Macs it indicates a problem with either the ADVC or the FW-Cable.
• The Cable is far more often the problem. Try to borrow another one and test.
HERE Comes my long long list. Use it with care - not all apply to Your situation.
I would print-out and cheque off those that are usably. No guarantee at all.
Capture/Import problems:
a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
(except for some Canon-Cameras)
c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
e) Bad RAM-chips
f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
g) FW-wire cable OK?
h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)
o) NEW (from Sue/SDillini):
Trash the Font Collections Folder.
These files are found:
/YourUserName/Library/FontCollections folder.
Drag the folder to the trash and launch iMovie. iMovie will create a new FontCollections folder containing the files it needs when it next opens.
p) or thrashing the com.apple.imovie.plist file (Rodney Brown2)
q) - Other programs interfering like Flip4Mac
r) - Third party or old plug-ins
May be You find some help in my list:
Mac:
• hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
◊ Rebuild Desktop (Tech-tool or fingersetting during start-up) (System up to 9)
◊ Reset PRAM (Tech-tool or keyboard finger settings alt-cmd-P-R ??)
◊ Reset PMU ( Restting the PMU...is the the alt-ctrl-shift and powerbutton shortcut? ) (Sue)
PMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760
PMU/SMU are essentially the same in the PM G5.
◊ Reset SMU
SMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
• software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
◊ Other programs that interferes like Flip4Mac
◊ Codecs added to QuickTime
◊ Old plug-ins to iMovie or third party alike
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.

NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn i.Link Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have i.Link conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

How to make iMovie 09 recognize a mounted disk image?

I'm trying to store video clips in a disk image (Mac OS Extended - Journaled, single Apple Partition Map). Previously in iMovie 08 all I had to do was mount the image, start iMovie and it would recognize it as an additional drive. Then I could drag events to it and store them there. In 09 this does not work. It sees the image but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point in it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it recognize the image! I've tried all variations in disk utility to create the image to no avail. Is iMovie 09 looking for a certain file on the disk image to recognize it? Maybe something in the DS_Store file or the .localized? Very frustrating.
Hoping someone can help. Thanks.

Try the following:
Mount the disk image so that there is a disk icon on the Desktop, and then launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). Copy-paste the following line into the Terminal window, and then type a single space. Do not type <Return> yet:
sudo mdutil -i on
After typing the single space, drag the mounted disk image icon from the Desktop into the Terminal window, click inside the Terminal window, and then type <Return>. Enter your admin password at the prompt (it will not echo on the screen), and again type <Return>.
Hopefully that will enable Spotlght indexing on the mounted image. It might take some time to complete depending on the contents.
The result for this for me, three times, was "Indexing disabled."

How to make iMovie the default for importing from video camera?

I successfully imported 5 or 6 mini discs from the video camera, then on the next download attempt I saw a pop-up box. The box said something like "what program do you want as the default for downloading?" I was thinking iMovie, but apparently clicked iTunes (too many iTerms), and now when I put the camera into PC CONNECT mode, iMovie won't start up as it had before. How do iReverse my mistake and make iMovie the default again.
P.S. - I already tried Preferences in iMovie and in Finder.

If you are talking about having the default be Hebrew-Qwerty, then just make sure that in system preferences/language & text/input sources you have only one box checked, the one for Hebrew-Qwerty.
There is also an opportunity to choose this during initial setup, you have to click on a button to have it show you all the keyboard options, I can't remember.

How to make a single record datablock?

Hi all,
I got a data-entry form (9i) that will input a record one at a time and commit before entering another record.
I try to set the block as single-record to yes but it gives error, and after checking with help, I understand that it can not work with database data block.
Is there any idea on how to make the data block to show only one record? The problem is that after entering some data on the record, sometime the data-entry clerk may push the arrow-key that make form shows the next record items, which will be empty, and this will confuse the clerk!
Thank you for your help.

Add Triggers KEY-UP(DOWN, NXTREC, PRVREC...) to the following effect:
NULL;
or
NEXT (PREVIOUS) _ITEM;

How to make a particular record in a particular column in a table as a link

Hi All,
I have a table in which the data is getting populated from the response of the BAPI.
I have a column in this table which is not related to the BAPI response. I am binding the column with locally created attribute which is related to the custom controller also.
The name of this column is LINK. The records for this column is "click to view".
According to the requirement,I have two webservices which I am suppose to use in the same table.
So the "click to view" should be enbled for the records from one webservice and should be disabled for the other.
Now I have successfully added the column LINK and the record for it is also"click to view" as i have set it.But its not acting as a link.
So kindly help me out.Looking forward to you.
Regards
DK

Hi Dipendra,
You can dynamically change TableCellEditor as you want a LINK at one time and no LINK(i.e. TextView ) at other time.
You can get the handle for your table with IWDTable interface and then get handle for your table column with IWDTableColumn. Once you get these you can change the TableCellEditor for that column at runtime.
I would sugesst you to read <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7f531207-0301-0010-5f9c-8652a3232ae0">this</a> document for further details on how to set TableCellEditor at runtime etc.
Hope this helps,

How to make iMovie HD work in OS X.8 - 10

Saw many posts of people asking about how to get it to work with "Rosetta" and I took some hints from there.
Here's what I did:
Right click iMovie HD and Show Package Contents
Go into the Contents folder
Use PList Edit Pro to edit the Info.plist file:
Change "Application requires native environment" to "NO"
Change the following strings:
Get Info string
InfoDictionary version
Bundle versions string, short
Bundle version
for ALL of them, change the current version number to "10.0.6"
File:Save
Use PList Edit Pro to edit the version.plist file:
Change:
CFBundeShortVersionString
CFBundleVersion
for all of them, change the current version number to "10.0.6"
File:Save
That's it, it will now work on the newer OS X versions.

I think I solved my problem by running the following command:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver diradmin
diradmin is the name of the Open Directory admin account I created.
The Open Directory Service now appears "off" and no longer had the green dot next to it in the list of services.
Obviously, NOT a good solution to someone who was actively using Open Directory as this appears to have deleted all the data associated with Open Directory.
Users and Groups now allow me to add/delete/modify.
Sad to see an Apple product have such issues.

A tip how to make iMovie '08 rescan the iPhoto library for video clips

I could not figure out how to easily force iMovie '08 to rescan all iPhoto library video clips. My problem was that my Casio S880 videos had the audio format DVI ADPCM which is not supported by iMovie '08. I made a script which transcoded all my iPhoto library videos' audio track to AAC. But after this was done, the iMovie didn't still show them in iPhoto videos. iMovie checks only for NEW entries in iPhoto Library after last scan.
One simple workaround is to duplicate the transcoded video in iPhoto and then delete the original. But if you have a lot of clips here is a better way to do this:
NOTE: This trick does not reimport already imported clips. This trick is useful only if you want to force iMovie '08 to recheck old iPhoto movie clips if they are now valid for iMovie '08 or not.
1. Close iMovie '08
2. Open file HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist with the Property List Editor application (I think the application is part of Apple Developer Tools, I'm not sure if included in default installation). You may want to take a backup of the property file before opening it!
3. Find "lastiPhotoXMLDate" property and change the date value to be some older date, for example if you want to scan all files just change the year part to 1980 or similar.
4. Save the property file
5. Open iMovie '08, it should now check all iPhoto movie clips again if they are valid for iMovie '08.
The same thing can be achieved by just deleting the HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie7.plist file, but then you lose all your other settings.

I apologize for my confusion on your question. I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo. It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer. If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds. For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

How to make Time Machine only back up once per day?

I really really don't need time machine to back up EVERY HOUR. It's overkill for me and with the level of computing I am forcing my computer to do most of the day its VERY irritating. Is there anyway to change the settings so it only backs up once every night?

Yeah, we tried using TimeMachineEditor on a friend's laptop. There will be 2 laptops backing up, and we wanted them both to backup overnight at different times when there would be no interruptions (for user or computer). It seemed to work OK (have to check w/ them), but how do you verify when backups were actually done?
I have a couple related question to this, though, that may also be helpful for folks:
- I'm guessing Time Machine cannot do a backup when the computer is asleep, correct? If a Time Machine backup starts while the computer is 'awake', will it keep the computer from sleeping so it can finish?
- If I set a schedule in the Energy Saver preferences to 'Wake Up' the computer at midnight (before scheduled backup), and 'Sleep' later on (say 4am), does this override the other preferences set for sleep in Energy Saver? (ie - if it's set to sleep after 30min., will the computer wake up at midnight only to go back to sleep 30min. later, or will it stay 'awake' until 4am?)
- Do you need to uncheck 'Put the hard drive to sleep when possible'?

How to make transfer Time Machine back up to clean harddrive?

I have just recently upgraded to Mountain Lion but for some reason when it tried to restart, it wouldnt load past the first start up screen. Had to do a complete clean reinstall, and start from scratch. I just got done using migration assistant to copy what I thought would be everything that was backed up but only copied the applications and such. I still need all the stuff from my user file and the rest of everything. I plugged in the external back up and wouldn't copy. I read through a couple of forums and saw that I need to create a clone? Just curious on precisely what to do. When i look at the restore this is what comes up and I was not sure where to put the hard drive and the external drive in which spot. Also wanted to make sure I didnt mess anything up by just a lack of knowledge on my part.
I also noticed that I am not even able to copy anything to desktop or remove items from the quick startup bar at the bottom.
Thanks for taking the time to help!

Did you use Setup Assistant when your Mac started up after reinstalling OSX, or did you set up a user account, then later on use the Migration Assistant app? If you used Migration Assistant, your data is in the user account(s) you transferred, not the one you created. See Problems after using Migration Assistant for details.
