I have my home movies on VHS, what devices are good for putting them on iMovie, all the devices I have seen are PC only

I want to put video from VHS to iMovie what devices work with a Mac? All the ones I have seen are PC only.

Hi
There are many to chose from and at different prices and functions.
I got an CANOPUS ADVC-300 - now named Grass Valley ADVC-300 - but can only be bought secondhanded as it's discontinued.
AND - it's Expensive !
Still to me it's been of 100% value due to it's functions. It can repair broken TimeBase-Code and that means that I can import a LONG VHS tape recorded in EP-mode and with drop-outs.
Cheaper devices = Import will halt at every drop out frames AND Audio will go out of sync.
• Tedious Baby-sittings when Importing (and multiple re-starting Import)
• Audio goes out of sync. Tedious labor to by hand correct this !
Then my A/D-box also came with some rather advanced Picture Enhancing programs/settings.
So in all - I Love it.
BUT Surely there are much cheaper solutions for those that
• makes short VHS Imports
• New VHS tape Without any Drop-outs (less than a Year old)
• Patience of an Angle
OBSERVE ! - If You talk about BOUGHT VHS-tapes as from Disney - FORGET IT - NO A/D-box can break the CopyProtection. And even a theoretical discussion about this is FORBIDDEN in this Forum - as it is a GLOBAL forum and just the discussion is forbidden in countries as Germany etc.

What laptop is good for computer games like WoW or the Sims 3?

I want to get a new laptop around the mark of $400-$800 or maybe possible lower(but i doubt it) that can run computer games and is good for other things.
Does anyone know a good laptop i could get?

Hi
If you want to use the notebook for gaming, I recommend purchasing one with an external graphic card. Mean the graphic card should not be a part on Intel CPU (Intel HD GPU) but you should choose the notebook with an ATI graphic chip or nVidia GPU.
Check the Toshiba Product page to get more details about notebooks equipped with such GPUs

I have my home movies on DVD from Windows. I am trying to import them into iMovie but it won't recognize the files. The movies will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import them.

I have my home movies on DVD burned from Windows and am trying to import them into iMovie. The DVD will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import the movie. Can anyone help?

See my post here for how to do this.

I transferred home movies from VHS to DVD. How do I import the data into imovie.

I transferred home movies from VHS to DVD. I can open the data using the DVD Player but I cannot import data into imovie. Any ideas?

Another option is to download the free app MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
After loading the DVD on your Mac, drag the icon onto Streamclip's window. From the menu choose File>Export to QuickTime then for Compression select the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). Adjust the quality slider from 50% to about 75% - that should give good quality at a reasonable file size. Leave other settings as they are and click on Make Movie. From the next box, choose a name for the file (it will be a .mov file) and a save location (say Desktop).
The saved .mov file can now be imported to an Event and edited if desired in iMovie.
Note that you may be asked to instal a file from Apple. It's named QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X. It's priced at US$19.99 and is available from the US Apple Store here:

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

HT1766 Can you use an external hard drive to back up my movies in iTunes but still be able to access them or is there a device so I don't have to use a pc ??

Can you use an external hard drive to back up my movies in iTunes but still be able to access them or is there a device so I don't have to use a pc ??

You can store them on a separate hard drive, you don't need to keep them on your laptop's hard drive. On your computer's iTunes on the Advanced tab in Edit > Preferences there is a 'copy files to iTunes media file when adding to library' tickbox - if you untick that, you should be able to copy the films to a separate drive and add them back to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and it should then point to them on that separate drive and not copy them to your hard drive. When you are happy that it is what is happening and that they are safely on your external drive you can delete the films from your laptop's hard drive.
If you plug the external drive into a different USB port next time (assuming that your laptop has more than one) then it might get a different drive letter, so you might need to always use it with the same port.

My ipod will not connect to my home wifi, it can see it and asks for a password but will not connect. I have tried it at another location and it will connect to other wifi connections. I have another ipod that is connecting just fine to my home wifi.

- Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Shutting down my iPhone 4S no longer removes all the apps that have accumulated on the multitasking bar. What happened?

Maybe I imagined it, but I could have sworn that holding down the home button and sleep button at the same time until the slider icon appears at the top of the screen, and then engaging the slider icon, completely shuts down your iPhone and also removes all the apps that have accumulated in the multitasking bar. But, that does not work anymore on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 (9A405). The iPhone shuts down, but the apps in the multitasking bar remain after you turn the phone back on. Did I imagine this feature in the past, or has something happened that no longer enables this functionality? Closing all those open apps in the multitasking bar one at a time is a PIA.

Please help....
On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

Thank you so much

If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

I recently lost my pc hard drive and had to buy a new one. I reinstalled iTune and now I am wondering if the sync will transfer all the tunes I have on my iPod to my pc. I am afraid to loose everything! What should I do?

If yes, you can reset the password by simply clicking on 'Forgot password' lin below it on the login screen.

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

I have also done all the troubleshooting that apple.com recommended too...all except re-installing itunes!

Hi, I would like to install my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard - I got the serial number and disk, but you are asking for another product and serial number that I dont have? What should I do?

Hi, I would like to install my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard - I got the serial number and disk, but you are asking for another product and serial number that I dont have? What should I do?

The serial number that you might have is an upgrade version & it will be asking for a previous qualifying version serial number.
The issue can be different too, please contact Adobe Support for resolution: http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6
