MicroMV in Mac OS X Leopard - imovie'09
Hello someone could help me import videos from my old camera Sony DCR-IP220 MICROMV in Mac OS X Leopard?
Now use another camera, but I have MICROMV recorded in the birth of my son and I would be it for my mac.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
I believe that this camera does have a FireWire socket (according to this descriptive page on Amazon) besides its USB socket.
I don't know if iMovie '09 "knows" how to control this camera or import material from this camera (..in its particular microMV AVCHD format..) so you may need to use some other program - such as BTV or BTV Pro - to capture the video onto your Mac, and then use MPEG Streamclip to convert it into a format which iMovie can handle. (..Click on those blue links for more info about those programs..)
Once imported and converted into an iMovie-compatible format, you'll then be able to edit it as usual.
Otherwise, as you now use "..another camera..", if your newer camera has a FireWire socket you may be able to transfer the microMV material via FireWire to the newer camcorder (press Play on the microMV camera and Record on the newer camcorder) and thence import it straight into iMovie '09.
So you can try a direct connection into iM'09, but it may not work ..and you'll probably have to capture (import) via BTV (..or using QuickTime Pro if you have that..) and then convert with MPEG Streamclip, and then edit in iMovie.
CAUTION: Avoid any site which offers a "free QuickTime Pro download" ..as that will carry an unwanted payload of spyware, malware, etc! Download the QT Pro upgrade from normal QT ONLY from Apple.

OK, so I am a girl & may not know it all- My husband and I have an iMac G4 & an iBook G4 and he just told me that we can get a new computer for the Mac OS X Leopard server. So, a couple of questions for here, to help me out when I talk to him about what I want. Is it best to wait until Leopard comes out to get a new computer? are there any advantages or disadvantages?
I went online to build the iMac I think I want and may I have some "pro" opinions about what I ended up with?
I do a lot of creating word document stuff for my work; I'm always doing searches for my medical profession; I made several dynomite calendars from iPhoto for christmas presents, using old family slides and recent pics; I just got started with iLife and mostly using iMovie & iDVD, and I have an iPod for iTunes.
My first big project is getting close to done-iMovie to iDVD of #950 old family slides and pics with background music and my father's narration. I had to divide the project into 2 parts, each at least 1 hour in length, to burn to 2 DVD's and almost crashed the computer & sat and watched the SBOD for up to 10-15 minutes every time I clicked the mouse. My husband just bought me a WD My Book 250GB premium Edition, Dual Interface, Double Interface which has helped out some so things are not quite as slow, most of the time. I have plans to continue making a lot more DVD's and I want the speed and latest technology to help me out.
So this is what I came up with, and yes, price is an issue (& no, I have not approached my husband with the grand total I came up with). I will appreciate any advice I can get so I can make an informed decision about what will help make my projects fun vs frustrating, and what is just "fluff".
iMac 24" screen
2.33 FHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 1x2GB, 1x1GB
750GB Serial ATA Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB SDRAM
SuperDrive 8X (DVDRDL/DVD/-RW/CD-RW)
Final Cut Express HD preinstalled
Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse + Mac OS X (US English)
AppleCare Protection Plan for iMac - Auto-enroll
24-inch widescreen LCD
Airport Extreme
Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
So what do you think? What might Leopard provide that I won't need to get?
Thank You So Much,
Marge
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) also have a iBook G4 & I do all the photo stuff on the iMac
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) also have a iBook G4 & I do all the photo stuff on the iMacWell, it doesn't look like price is too much a problem with that configuration! I hope your husband let's you get it. With that price range, I'd just get it now and pay the other $129 later. There won't be enough major changes that make it all that necessary to have Leopard, and you might as well wait for all the bugs to be worked out in Leopard and work safely in Tiger. Who knows, something may flare up in Final Cut in the new OS and give you another SBOD.
If you want to save some money, just get the 2.16 GHZ. The speed difference in the processor won't be that noticeable and definitely not enough difference to pay $250 extra. That's twice the price of having Tiger now and upgrading later.
So, there's my opinion. You asked for it Hope it goes well. I was in the same predicament when ordering my new iMac & glad I just went ahead and bought it. I'll wait a few months after Leopard comes out to see reactions then decide when/whether to upgrade. -
Adobe Premier Element 10 VS Snow Leopard iMovie
Hi:
Anyone has experience with these two software for comparison? Which one is better for Mac?
Adobe Premier Element 10 VS Snow Leopard iMovie
Thank you.I have Windows PC and Mac at home.
My 2009 Mac mini has 8gb of ram installed. However, I have not upgraded the OS to Snow Leopard yet.
I am choosing either buy the Snow Leopard and upgrade my Mac OS or buy the Adobe Premier Element 10.
I will be using the video editing software for a dance performance.
I will need smooth transitions and ability to tune the color of the video. Because I will be combining video clips from 3 different camcorders. -
I have a mac book running leopard software, 10.5.8 how can I get my computor up to date as lion requires minimum 10.6.6.
You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?
If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:

The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated. Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
SELLING A MAC A
Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
Selling an Old Mac:
• When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
• Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
Internet Recovery:
• In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
• Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
iLife Apps:
• When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
• Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
• It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
SELLING A MAC B
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License. -
HELP !
After I upgraded my operating system on my mac, (from Snow Leopard (10.6 ? ) to Mountain Lion (10.8.2), virtually ALL of my documents (recipes, update logs, information of untold things), have been denied to me with my Microsoft Word for Mac (which I have used since I purchased my mac in Aug.2008).
I now get a window that tells me "You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." (Needless to say, I cannot use Excel or anything else, either!)
Yet, I can still access them, fully (read and even print fro them), individually, by dragging a file into my PREVIEW program!
What gives?
I am not a savvy programmer, nor do I confess to somehow being warned that this might happen when I upgraded my operating system.
Is there any reasonable (easier?) way to continue the use of these (to me) very important files? I only upgraded because I upgraded my iPhone to a 4S and wanted everything to conform to siimilar circumstances!
What can I DO?You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600
Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600. Upgraded from OS 10.4 and printer showed on printer list along with an Epson scanner. but continually shows printer as offline. I finally deleted the HP Color Laserjet 2600n from the printer list. When I attempted to re-install it, it doesn't find the printer at all. I haven't attempted to use the scanner. I also went to HP and downloaded the driver, no luck. I've restarted the computer multiple times, tried it with the printer on, and printer off, as well as pulled the usb cable in and out both ends. No error message on the printer display and it gpes through normal warmup until it shows the green light. I run software update and it shows no updates needed. Help!

When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.
AC "
In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

Pdf printing problem Mac OSX Snow Leopard Canon MP620 Pixma printer

I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere, even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.

I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive. I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?
After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.
