Transfer digital video/Hi8 tapes to iMac mountain lion.

Hi, I have iMac mid 2007 running OS X10.8 a Sony DV8/Hi8 video camcorder. Want to transfer tapes to dvd. Which version of iMovie would I need for compatibility with both machines. If not possible, can someone recommend a low cost alternative.

The best app to record your display is clearly QuickTime Player, preinstalled with OS X. Just open this app, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > New Movie Recording.
Apart from that, there are third-party applications that have got more features as the ability to modify the recorded video with that app, without having to export it to another application. I recommend Screenflow > http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm
Another option is to use "Photo Booth", preinstalled on OS X

  • HT5361 I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system.  How can I do this by year instead of laboriously doing it one message at a time?

    I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system.  How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time?  Many thanks.

    Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
    Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete.

  • Calendar and Contacts won't sync between my iPad (ios6) and iMac (mountain lion). I've trolled forums looking for fixes but nothing is working so far. Any ideas?

    Not really sure where this question should go, since it crosses 3 topic areas. Neither my contacts nor my calendar will sync from iMac (mountain lion) to iPad 3 (ios6). I've tried a byzantine series of fixes - mostly involving backing up each, turning off cloud syncing, turning it back on, with lots of little steps in between (I'd be more detailed, but I gave up for several weeks and don't really remember them). Is this a real issue, or am I missing something simple? It's extremely frustrating to have what is advertised as basic functionality not work even a little bit. Especially when 3rd party apps sync just fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Never mind... It was indeed something simple that I missed (my icloud account was attached to an apple ID I didn't even know existed -- created for me?? ... fixed it - settings, icloud, sign out, signed back in as my actual apple ID).

  • I cannot get epson workforce to work correctly on imac mountain lion

    I have not been able to get the epson workforce to work on imac mountain lion.  I first tried using the epson software.
    Then read that I should do it from the mac's " printer/scan".
    Unfortunately when I get to the screen that says --add printer--- i cannot get workforce to appear.
    Can anyone walk me through it?
    I have it connected to my  netgear wireless router which is recognizing it on their management page?
    Help!

  • I recently did a factory restore on my imac mountain lion, but when i try to download OS x again apple is not recognizing my id and password

    I recently did a factory restore on my imac mountain lion, but when i try to download OS x again apple is not recognizing my id and password

    So, what exactly did you do for a "factory restore"? Which method did you try?
    Did you go to the app store > Purchases? Is it listed there?
    Or, did you try using the recovery method (Command + R keys or Command + Option + R keys while restarting)? Are you able/unable to reach Apple's servers to download the OS?

  • Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

    I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user   *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
    If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

  • If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?

    If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)?  And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

    I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
    FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.

  • What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?

    What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?

    Hi,
    If I remember correctly it is some while since Sony used iLink (Firewire) which would mean it is Firewire 400.
    This would be the smaller 6 pin at the camera end and a 400 9 pin one at the "computer" end.
    However we would now be looking at needing a 400 to 800 adaptor/link cable for newer computers.

  • Transfer digital video to iMacG5 using 10.4.3

    I recently purchased a Panasomic PV-GS65 digital video camcorder. I use operating system OS X 10.4 on an iMacG5. I am trying to transfer my digital video from the miniDV to my computer using the USB connection cable provided by Panasonic, and I cannot get the computer to recognize the input. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help.

    strangedogs is quite right, Leonard. You definitely need a firewire cable, I'm afraid.
    I have an almost identical camera (the GS75). USB is only for stills with this one. It always amazes me when they don't include a cable that is critical to function, but do include others which are less important! In my case I fortunately found that a 4 to 6 pin cable that actually came with my old iMac G3 DV+ was fine for the purpose (all my other FW cables are 6 pin to 6 pin - you need 4 pin for the camera end).
    Plug the cable in, set the mode dial on the camera to movie playback , fire up iMovie , and away you go.
    Cheers

  • Old digital video camera connection to iMac????

    I have an old Panasonic digital color CCTV camera (model WV-CL320) which I have used for years with a microscope attachment in my classroom connected to a television. I would like to be able to connect to the computer to capture images, either single frame or short video clips, on my iMac G-4. Does anyone have knowledge or experience about connections of this type? I tried connecting via the video port by way of the Apple composite or S-video adapter to no avail. Nothing shows up and system profiler doesn't indicate anything. iMovie does not sense a camera. So what must I do or is this asking the impossible? Does this kind of capture require additional software, a composite video to fire wire or something altogether not apparent to my unsavvy mind? The camera has no storage capacity; it simply delivers an output of 1.0 Vp-p NTSC composite video signal. The output on the camera is a BNC connector which further connects to an RCA cable to the television. I have connected the camera to my LCD projector through a composite video- phone jack port on the back of the HP xb21. So if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Thanks

    by way of the Apple composite or S-video adapter to no avail.
    These ports are OUT from the Mac, not IN to the Mac.
    The output on the camera is a BNC connector which further connects to an RCA cable to the television.
    The camera is really no different than a VHS VCR (in this context).

  • I am trying to transfer files from my PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.4.11) to my new iMac (Mountain Lion).  Migration assistant tells me I need to upgrade migration assistant on the G4, but I can't find a download that will work for anything older than OSX 10.5.

    Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along.  It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion.  I just tried to use Migration Assistant.  It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5.  Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
    Thanks!

  • Video "Dropouts" with FCS and Mountain Lion

    I would like to see if anyone else is having this problem and maybe save some folks from the experience.
    I have two macs.
    #1- Imac, 2.93, core 2 duo, 4g ram, 24".
    #2-Macbook Pro, 17", 2.53, 4g
    4t g-raids
    Clean Install done on Imac of Mountain Lion.  Reloaded fcs.
    Did NOT touch macbook.  Still running Snow Leopard.
    Working on large video job...1080 60i, avchd, panny cam.
    Went to transfer footage using all usual settings.
    Video on imac looked like "old school" video drop outs.  As you can imagine, it was a long night to figure this out.
    Erased footage and hooked up my g-raids to the Macbook.  Looked fine.
    Took hard drives back to imac, tried transfer again.  Stuttering and drop outs continued.
    Back to Macbook with Snow Leopard, no problems.  My guy is editing job right now on Macbook.
    I am in the middle of a clean install of Snow Leopard on the imac.  I'm gonna have to send the "boys" out to get my $20 bucks back from Apple.
    Thought I'd post it in case someone sees same thing and thinks they are crazy.
    Mountain lion could not capture footage without drops.  Snow Leopard (my trusty os) did it all.
    Shocked I say, Apple....Shocked.  (Not really, been down this road before) Never believe what they say.  Don't upgrade unless forced by gunpoint.
