Movie camera that plays well with iPad. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy my 10 year old, Spielberg obsessed, movie maker/director a camera for Christmas. I want something that she can use with my iPad or iMac with iMovie. She's fairly tech savvy and focused. Not sure what I will spend, but I'm keeping in mind that this is a ten year old. Honestly, she'd be happy with an old super 8 if I could figure out how to edit something like that. She just loves writing, directing and shooting stories. Thanks for your recommendations.

Mac & iMovie compatible and perfect size for a tech savvy 10 year old: Canon VIXIA mini
The only way I can use my camcorders with iMovie for iPad involves downloading from camcorder to Mac and then syncing the clips to iPad. Perhaps there is a more direct way, but I cannot find one. Moving the clips to iPad for editing in iMovie for iPad seems like wasted effort to me to be no need to do that because my Mac already has iMovie for editing video clips, and Mac iMovie is easier to use for more complex edits.
The only reason I now use my iMovie for iPad is to edit clips that I record directly on my iPad. That works fine. If your iPad is iPad II or later, just letting her record directly to iPad with iMovie for iPad may be a good choice unless you KNOW you want her to have a separate camcorder.

Is there any Macpro that plays well with FCPX?

Is there a Macpro out there that plays 3 cam 1920 x 1080 Pro Res multicam perfectly without dropping frames and still plays perfectly without rendering for things like dissolves?
My late model Imacs do this perfectly even with slow Lacie drives, but my mid 2010 3.33 GHZ Macpro with 24 GB of Ram and ATI 5770 graphics card is constantly reporting dropped frames, and not because of slow hard drives. And, strangelly, while it is reporting drop frames, and about 5 GiGS of memory used, the CPU shows almost 80% idle! Do I need a better graphics card or should I give up on Macpro? Or is there something wrong with the FCP programming?

Hey Timothy.
You'll be interested in this discussion.
Good luck.

Wireless router that plays well with Apple Airport Express

Trying to find a router (with vpn and WDS- guaranteed) so that it will allow connection to apple wireless base stations and express units. Not all routers will, and many have misleading info on sites and boxes. Many routers seem to have very weak signals when connecting to Apple airport cards in apple laptops.
Anyone have any ideas.
I would like to see one that comes with DUAL WAN's and load balancing, or a way to connect such hardware together.

Hello All,
I had a very simple need, I wanted to keep my Linksys wireless router, WRT54G, not use 3rd party software and use the AirPort Express to send my Itunes Music from from PC that did not have wifi on it thru the network to a remote back rook of my house....after looking at tons of alternatives it was a really simple fix....
1. Load the software from apple that comes with the APExpress
2. When the wizard starts let it find your Airport....then choose manual set up...
3. Go to Tab Internet Connection
4. Look at the IP address listed...mine was 192.168.1.101
5. Go to the Linksys set up page
6. Applications & Gaming
7. Port Range Forward, List the word Apple- then open port 548 to 548 and then enable the IP that you saw in the IP listed in the Apple configuration window..Step 4 above
Perfect....wonderful....

Can a time capsule store a movie from an external hard drive then allow that movie to be played on an iPad on the network?

I don't use ipad for this so i am just googling.

Anything that will play from Samba network file store..
You will probably also need filebrowser loaded on the ipad to find the files.
Is the ipad necessary btw.. ?? If you only want to play the file to your TV you can buy a WD Live TV.. unlike the Apple TV it is a media player.. and can play files of almost any format direct from the TC.

HD camcorder that works well with iMovie - recommendations

Any recommendation for a reasonably price HD camcorder that works well with iMovie? I've been researching the Sony HDR-CX260V. It's on the list of compatible cameras but says it will not work when it's set to 1080/60p.
I just want something that I can plug in and import video without a lot of hassle.
Thanks!

Here is an Apple published list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2948 . Just about any DV, HDV and AVCHD camcorder buit by the big Japanese manufacturer's: Canon, JVC, Panasonic or Sony will work, even the newer one's, not on the list. Don't bother with the new Sanyo if you want simple Plug-n-play. This web site: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/ratings.php# , has good reviews, so pick your priorities, costs, etc. Best of luck.

Does Time Capsule play well with older Airport devices?

Hello. Today I am likely coming home with a Time Capsule and intend to rebuild my home wireless network.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the value/worth of attempting to connect older airport devices to the new network? I have a VERY old (1st gen?) Express, a 2nd or 3rd Express, and an Airport Extreme which, here on my lunch break away from home, I'm frankly not sure which age it is. I have been using the Extreme as the Base Station and intend to wipe it and set up the TC as the Base Station.
There are a few areas of our house that don't get good signals currently. If they STILL don't, should I try to connect any of these older devices as extenders? Or will they not play well with the TC because of their different letters (g/n/etc.?)
Thanks in advance. We'd been planning on getting a TC for a long while but found out this week that our Extreme is somehow getting in the way of our network connection... So I'm hoping that a brand new set-up will improve our speed and entire system. We have a household of many devices--one iMac and more than four iOS devices (potentially depending on who's awake) running on a 60Mbp/4 upload system. For a long time we've had internet but at 23-26 Mbp tops.
Any of your thoughts or ideas would be welcome.

Old G wireless express should be retired.. it will not work well in the current network. Although people do use them just for audio use.. the later OS have ceased to be able to set them up. G extreme is of no use.
You can use anything that is N wireless.. but you need to be sane and rational about using a router that is 3-6years old.. as it might cause as much problems as it fixes. Certainly there is nothing wrong with having a go.. as long as you are not too hopeful.
The best way to get wireless in a dark corner is to run ethernet over to that area.. and run a wireless AP there. Your N apple airport can function as AP. Even using EOP (ethernet over power) can sometimes work.
If you try to extend wireless wireless to the dark zone.. you cannot place the AP in the dark zone.. as it will get no signal to extend.. it needs to be able to pick up good signal and still have sufficient range to reach the end of your zone. That suggests if it doesn't work now.. it won't work in this new role either.. but no skin off having a try.

Controller that works well with Logic??

Can anyone tell me if the M-audio icontrol will work with Logic 8? I see that it is designed for Garageband. I would love to have real controls for record,play,stop, etc... If there is a controller out there that works well with Logic, please let me know.
Thanks,

Potential warning on the Edirol keyboards: I bought one of their earlier ones (PCR50, I think), and the keys have mostly gone bad after a couple years, despite being treated very well. There are a lot of people over at Harmony Central reporting the same problem. This new unit may have solved the problem, don't know, but I personally will think more than twice before buying another Edirol keyboard.

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help! Please!

This is not the problem. We are using quicktime on the pc's and the mac. I also tried to open the file on the pc with other programs and it doesn't recognize the file. The file opens fine on my mac but I cannot save it as a new file. It says that "the end of the file was reached." The recording was made in iShowU then edited in Quicktime Pro.

Can I get an older release of Firefox? 36.0 does not play well with Windows 7.

Firefox 36.0.4 does not play well with Windows 7. If it opens at all, it freezes within a minute so the screen goes pale and I get the classic spinning circle of death. Then the header says (not responding).
Ideally I would like to drop back to version 32 or 33, but 34 and 35 had fewer problems.
Can I find older versions anywhere?

You can [[Install an older version of Firefox]] any time. But which will cause significant security risk. So If you can't use the latest version of Firefox, we recommend that you use the latest version of another browser.
If the latest version of Firefox is causing problems for you or you just don't like something about it, please give us feedback about it here:
[https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback/ Submit your feedback and suggestions about Firefox]
Anyway head for the ftp for older version but please be careful with these: ftp://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

What's a good cell phone from Cingular that integrates well with iSync

Hello
I just purchased a Nokia 6102i from Cingular after their sales lady said the phone worked with iSync. I told her I didn't see the model listed on the Apple iSync supported phones web page, but she said not to worry. Well, the phone just arrived and when I tried to iSync it with my Address Book, I'm getting an iSync window saying: "This device is not supported by ISnyc."
No big deal, I'll just return the phone, but next attempt, I want to get a model from Cingular that works well with iSync. Can anyone advise me? Perhaps a Razor, but what I might really want is a smart phone.
Appreciate any comments, thanks
Craig

I can answer the last part of that question. I'm disappointed the Nokia 6102i will not transmit photos via bluetooth to my Mac. iSyncing addresses and calendar works like a champ, just not sending photos (and I suppose other files) from the phone. However, on my MBP, I can open up the Bluetooth File Exchange program and both get the 6102i pics, as well as send photos to the phone. So, not bad, there is a work around.

Why won't iTunes 11 play well with my printer.

I made the mistake of downloading 11 before reading feedback. I will not do that before 11.0.1. Has anybody tried this update? Have they brought the old search feature back...unless there is some way to set it back to the way it previously worked and I just haven't figured it out yet.
In addition to the loss of ease in manipulating and searching for my music, I'm having problems with iTunes communicating with my printer.
Is this unique or typical for the update? It always played well with my printer before!
Since the 11 update, my laptop crashes while waiting to print or it prints with all items of the playlist printed on top of each other in a big sploch, rendering it unreadable.
Any solutions???.

Oh, and I've reviewed these two articles and they're not applicable...
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
Whilst it's possible there's some obscure setting somewhere, I _really_ doubt it.
My Apple history dates back to a, then current, Mac+ and I currently do embedded [Android] fw development... so this is more of a bug report than flailing user.

I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC. Any ideas?

I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC. Any ideas?

Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?
