Need new camera- please help

I'm looking to buy a new camcorder. One of the main jobs I want to use it for is filming football games from the sidelines, so something that can capture fast-moving action and run for a long time would be great. I've heard that Hard Drive cameras won't work with the setup that I have, so I guess I'm mainly looking for a good Mini-DV camera.
My specs are:
Computer: 12" Powerbook G4
OS: Mac OS X 10.4.11
Editing software: iMovie HD6

Looks good - just checked out the specifications here:

Note that the DV Terminal described as IEEE1394 (4 pin) is what the rest of us calls Firewire, which is what you want!

  • Moved iWeb before MobileMe shut down but need new host, please help

    Hello all,
    I successfully moved my iWeb site to a new host before MobileMe shut down and I remember a discussion offering lots of hosting sites that were good and free and some for pay.  I cannot find that discussion or the sites, although I thought I bookmarked them, there was one I even called and they were great but I can't find that bookmark UGHHHH.
    So can you all please recommend me your faves and how good their customer service it.  I am using NYPWH.com and have been for years for a site I never changed and now that I have to do some stuff to the new iWeb site, I find they are a little impatient with me, especially as technically challenged as I am.
    Thanks so much for the help.
    Gina

    Each of the web hosting companies that were mentioned, are unique in their own ways. I just wanted to clear up a couple of things to hopefully give you a better idea of which host might suit you best.
    First, godaddy is a powerhouse in the domain registration and hosting department, but what I've noticed over the last little while is a large increase in price. I used to recommend GoDaddy to users who are price senstitive but now I advise against.
    The other thing that concerns me about some of the other hosts is that they often offer introductory rates to entice their buyers. Once a user signs up and uses their services for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, whatever it may be, the user will often have to pay a much higher rate when that introductory term is over. This is something I personally do not like, and as a consumer, I don't think it's a very fair way to get people to use a service. And the most important thing for an iWeb user, is that these big companies don't really know iWeb very well.
    MacMate is more of a MobileMe replacement, and a better option for iWeb users who will want to take advantage of customer support geared towards an iWeb user. I like that they saw a need for a MobileMe replacement and are delivering. Their price is a bit high though, but still in line with the second-term prices of some of the other companies.
    Rage software does offer all of the services of an ordinary host. So I think there was some mininformation there. The things I like about Rage is they've been a pretty big part of the iWeb community for many years, so their support team knows iWeb in and out. A quick look at their price shows that they are actually one of the cheaper hosts ($5/month on the 3 year term, no introductory rate or more expensive rate upon renewal). They also provide their well known iWeb SEO Tool software for free to their hosting customers, which is a pretty big bonus in my opnion. Also, take a look at all their videos showing tips and tricks for iWeb users http://youtube.com/ragesw
    So to summarize, I'm not really fond of those bigger companies that offer the introductory rates and then jack the prices when the user needs to renew. I like the idea of MacMate, and it seems like a good alternative solution to MobileMe to users who don't mind paying a bit extra to receive similar services to MobileMe. I like Rage because of price, iWeb support, and the free software, so they would be my recommendation. Use Rage software and dropbox if you're a user looking to replace iDisk. It's free, fast, syncs with all your computers, iPads, iPhones, etc.
    I hope this was helpful and gives users a better idea about the hosting companies that are out there.

    My isight built in camera is only turning on for few second on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011 with osx Yosemite) when I use any camera needed app. Please help me. Its getting a little annoying.

    If restarting Mac or reinstalling OS X does not correct this symptom, you likely have a hardware problem.  Contact Apple Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.

    Adobe Reader is free. It always has been.
    You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
    You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
    Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
    Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
    EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
    You're inviting trouble if you do.
    Not everyone who reads these pages is here to help fellow Adobe product users.

    hello. i forgot my restriction passcode. i havn't back up so i can restore. i want to reset my iPhone4 as new.. please help me.. please???

    The Restrictions passcode is part of the backup, so you would not want to restore from backup. To restore as new, just connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, and restore. If you cannot just click on restore, you may need to put the device into recovery mode. Search for infomation on that.

  • Pogo games won't load - cleared cache, reloaded firefox, reloaded plugins, reloaded java, reloaded adobe flash - nothing is working - need NEW suggestions please.

    Pogo games won't load - cleared cache, uninstalled and reloaded firefox, reloaded plugins, uninstalled and reloaded java, uninstalled and reloaded adobe flash - nothing is working - need NEW suggestions please.

    Try doing these steps:
    Install Firefox 11 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com]. simply install it over your current version of Firefox to make sure all Windows Registry settings get recreated correctly.
    Run all Windows Updates. Service packs, etc. You may have to run this several times to ensure that you get all needed updates.
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    After doing all these steps, try restarting your computer, and seeing if Pogo will run.
    If it doesn't work, go into your control panel, and uninstall every installation of Java and Flash that you have. Restart your computer again, then install them from [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe] for Flash, and [http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=62313 http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=62313] for Java. again, restart your PC, then test.
    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    If it does not help the issue, open up your Firefox Profile. [[Backing up your information|Backing up your information]] shows you where that is stored by default. Delete or rename the "pluginreg.dat" file (make sure Firefox is closed when you do this). Test again.

  • Lightroom 4.4 keeps crashing saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" please help. I've tried reinstalling it and everything  Windows 8.1

    I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
    If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

  • It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help.

    I am a non profit.  I ordered Photo shop Elements12 for PC  for my office.  It is a download only.  It doesn't dowload on my computer.  It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit.   Please help. The Adobe photoshop elements 12 is useless to me.  I can't seem to get anyone at Techsoup to help and trying to get Adobe to help is runaround.  What should I do to get it to run on my computer.  Please someone in the forum let me know how switch out the download for the correct one.

    64-bit windows can run 32-bit applications just fine and always has.  They are just limited to a small amount of memory.   If something isn’t working it’s likely another problem like an incomplete download or trying to install the Mac version on a PC or something like that.
    You can try downloading and installing from the PSE12 link, here, to see if it works any better:
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    If you can’t get things to work, then please post a screenshot of the error and a description of what you’re trying to do that lead to the error.
    Also the term “downloading” refers to transferring a file from a remote server, across the internet, to your local computer.   The term “install” means running the program that was downloaded on your local computer to put the working program on your computer that you can run.
    It would be helpful to know if your saying that the actual transfer across the internet part isn’t working, or if that part seemed to work, but when you run that installer program you’re seeing an error.
