Need help getting photo/video software?

I just got a Sony DSC-H55 camera. With having a nicer camera now I want to do more with it. My old camera I was very linited on what it could do. This new one shoot at 1080P, has nice zoom, and 14mp.
I am looking for some software that I can use for editing pictures and video.
These are my laptop specs.

Stink I can not afford to build nice systems right now.
I go to a lot of car meets and do a lot of our door events. That is what my camera is used for most. When I shoot video it will be a lot at the track.
I am thinking of either Roxio 2011, PhotoPlus X3/Movie Plus X3 Bundle, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 & Adobe Premiere Elements 8. I just do not want to open the software and find out my laptop can not handle it.
Adobe is first on my list. I want to make sure my laptop can handle it. I just wish I could find a trail verson.

The PSE/PRE trials are right here:

Need help getting started -Editing software

Hello everyone
I need to get started with video editing on a Mac -
I didn't touch an editing software since 1998 , it was premiere 4.2 on a PC !
And didn't keep up with what's new but i'm now using a Mac!
I assume now most software allow realtime rendering, and have great tools !
So, I'd like to put together a holiday movie I shot on a DV camera-
once finished , it would either play from the computer connected to a Video projector AND / OR burned on a DVD .
I'd like to make something a bit creative : Split frames / moving Titles accross the screen etc...
my questions :
-If possible, I'd like to minimize the rendering process ( realtime?) What is a good editing software Imovie / Final cut ( which one?) / Premiere ?
-What can I use to create split frame ( video)
-What can I use to create moving titles ? ( important)
-Can this be achievable on a Macbook 1,83GHZ / 2GB of RAM/ 250GB EXT. Harddrive FW.?
Thanks for you inputs ( Open subject )
David

You don't need timecode to make frame accurate cuts.
You simply play or drag the playhead to roughly where you want it and then use the left and right arrow keys to move frame by frame to the exact frame you want.
Incidentally if you hold down the Shift key, each touch of the arrow key will jump 10 frames.
iMovie has a tremendous amount of potential which may be hidden away at first sight.
Take a look at those fantastic and easy to produce titles - the hardest part is typing the letters!
Incidentally, even FCE does not display the original tape timecode natively.
Ian.
P.S. The best way to unlock most of its secrets is to get a book. Most good libraries usually stock them or can get them for you.

[SOLVED!!!]Need help getting internet cafe software to execute...

Already submitted to AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56282
I'm building a PKGBUID for a program called Cafe Pilot. I'm using it for the computer lab in my shop and could use some help getting it to execute properly. I'm pretty sure the PKGBUILD is good, because I can build and install just fine, but I get the error message below when I try to execute via CLI:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: CafePilot_Server.jar
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)
Could not find the main class: CafePilot_Server.jar. Program will exit.
not quite sure what this means... do I need to use JRE, or can i get away with openjdk on this? ANY input would help... working on the companion client package, but wanted to get the server out of the way first so I can streamline the creation of the client's PKGBUILD... Thanks in advance!
SOLUTION: editing of PKGBUILD and .sh file as posted below

1. The usage of the -classpath switch is incorrect. Per manpage, you invoke it like "-classpath <somepath>". So when you call
java -classpath -jar CafePilot_Server.jar
java 6 will throw an "NoClassDefFoundError: CafePilot_Server/jar". That means, java failed to find the class "jar" in the package "CafePilot_Server", which is not exactly what you intended to do (in java packages are delimited by dots like com.mypackage.MyClass, which would go into a file hierarchy like ./com/mypackage/MyClass.class). java 7 will give you the more shorter message: "Could not find or load main class CafePilot_Server.jar"
So in short, the -classpath flag eats your -jar flag. The easiest way around this is, to omit "-classpath", which will result the classpath defaulting to the current directory, or to call "-classpath /opt/CafePilot_Server/".
2. About the '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java' part: Is there a specific reason to not call the "java" command directly? On a java 7 install:
$file `which java`
/usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/bin/java'
And on a java 6 one:
$file `which java`
/usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java`
So i would promote one of the following options:
a)
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/CafePilot_Server
java -jar CafePilot_Server.jar
b)
#!/bin/bash
java -classpath /opt/CafePilot_Server/ -jar /opt/CafePilot_Server/CafePilot_Server.jar
I do not really have an idea of what the program is supposed to do, but as far as i can see, b) has the advantage, that you do not need to call it as root, since the program will write some logs to the current directory. So when you call a) as a normal user, you will get an Permission denied error, because the programm could not write its derby.log to /opt/CafePilot_Server/, whereas for b) you could call it from your home directory, and you will get the log right there.
Both options assume, that the lib/ directory is installed as mentioned in my previous post.

Old iPhone3 - need help getting photos off of it

I have an old iPhone3 that has been decommissioned, so it does not have cell service but can access email via wireless network. It has photos that I want to save off of it on to my computer. My computer via USB, does not see it but iTunes does. It has an old iOS on it so it keeps wanting to update the iOS. I tried backing it up but it does not seem to back up anything as it takes less than 5 seconds to back up 14 gig of music and photos. When I tried to use the back up file to transfer the photos, the file was empty.
How do I get my photos?
I don't want to sync and lose all of those photos because I get the warning that it will lose everything. So how do I get my computer to see the photos? The computer does not give me an auto-start option to configure in the settings because it does not SEE the phone as existing.

Are the photos in your camera roll or your photo library? photos in the photo library album where already synced and have to be unsunc they cannot be deleted. photos in your camera roll can be imported. if your using a windows computer connect to the computer and clickimprot pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard in the autoplay box. if autoplay doesn't pop up u can go to my computer and right click on your device and select improt pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard.
aperature or iphoto can be used with OSX
also your phone does not need to be recognized by itunes to import pictures. If your computer as well does not recognize your phone that is a different story

I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

i don't know if this is possible...
the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.

Need help getting photos from a shared photo stream in iCloud

I received several invites to several shared photo streams from the same person. Some of them worked fine. Others said "from unknown" and don't show up, even though they are all from the same person. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you delete photos from a shared photo stream they are removed everywhere, however if the other party has already copied the photo to one of their own albums, you can't delete that.

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

Need help getting iBook online

Hi I have a blueberry ibook with Mac OS 9 and I need help getting it online. I have cable internet on my home computer WOW, and I unplugged the internet cord from my home computer and plugged it into my laptop and could not get on the internet. How do I get on the internet with that cord if possible? I know nothing about Macs, or ethernet or proxy or any of that jargon. Thanks!

Merry Christmas to you Kristen
I do not have any disks or software
for my ISP, just an access number.
When you say "access number", what do you mean? When I hear the term "access number" I think of a phone number. Or is it an IP address (which would look something like 127.127.1.1 - a number with some dots in it), or something altogether different?

If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Older version of CarbonCopyCloner found here.

Older versions of SuperDuper can be found on the SuperDuper Website and Homepage.

Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
