TS3634 I have a new iMac with iMovie '11
and a Sony handy cam HDR-SR11 that records in both SD and HD. Unfortunately, it does not seem to 'see' the SD videos nor does the Show drop down menu give me an option other than AVCHD. What to do?I would really appreciate some help with this issue. I purchased a iMac for the very reasons of making videos from new HD footage as well as older SD from the same camera as well as a mini DV that uses Firewire. Will an update solve this issue? Or is there something else I can do?
Camcorder set to SD video.
camcorder hooked up to iMac with USB 2.0 cable
Camcorder previously hooked up to an older Macbook from '06 (don't know iMovie version) without any difficulty.
I have read in downloads that their is an update for those who have an older version of iMovie with this problem but I have a later one 9.0.4.
Thank you for any help you can give me
I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

Repair permissions and restart your computer.
Make sure you have the updated scanner drivers installed.

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)...
How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac?
Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though. -
I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

I have a new IMAC with lion. When I use the migration tool from my PC to the new Mac, it takes about 2 hours to transfer my photos and address book, etc. However, when completed, I cannot locate any of the transfered material on the Mac! Any suggestions?
You have posted to the older PPC iMac forum. You need to poster to a newer iMac forum.
I suggest posting here:

Try double clicking on the harddrive icon on your desktop
You should get something like this.

i have the new iMac with OS X 10.8.3 i want to conner it with apple remote control i don't know how
I have a Mac Book Pro 2008
I have my MBP paired with Apple TV and use it all the time
My only complaint is that when I use the Apple TV remote it sometimes turns things off and on in iTunes.
Besides all the options from Apple TV I can listen to anything on my mac over my TV surround system thru Apple TV -
Long title. Sorry. It pretty much explains the situation. I'd like to have all of my photos from two (ultimately three) computers on this central file and be able to access them from any of the computers. The error message I get when I start up my MBPro is: "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto" and, "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." It then forces me to quit iPhoto. I have tried the suggestion of holding down the opt key on iPhoto startup, but it doesn't seem to help.
Two questions:
Can I store multiple iPhoto libraries on the same central disc?
If so, how should I address the error message?
Thank you!Hey Kappy, thank you for your help! Yes, I can open both libraries on the iMac without problem. I am still confused why the computer that created one of the libraries cannot open said library after it was moved to the external disk. Why is the iPhoto format not readable by all versions across the board?? The reason I'm pushing the issue is because in my household, we have an older MB, my wife's MBP, my MBP and now a new "family" iMac. The MB (circa 2007) has an old version of iPhoto, the two MBP's have iPhoto '08 and the new iMac has '11. It is my goal to have all of the photos that we've accrued over the years, located centrally, and accessible from all of these computers. Is iPhoto the most appropriate program, or would Lightroom make more sense?

Letterbox downloads and installs and is enabled, but does not produce the 3 columns in the mail window. I had the same problem with 10.6.7 and now 10.6.8. The download is the latest version (0.24b9) and the forums indicated that it works with both osx versions. I have tried deleting the letterbox plug-in and then reinstalling, but still no luck with the 3 column mail page. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thanks
i just fixed this on my machine running 10.6.8. the typical workaround is to add appropriate UUIDs, which get updated with each new os build, and break plugins (see here). Follow those instructions, but instead of adding the UUIDs they suggest for 10.6.7, add these (I found them on my machine running 10.6.8, and they work):
064442B6-53C0-4A97-B71B-2F111AE4195B
588FF7D1-4310-4175-9980-145B7E975C02
for fixing on os x version 10.6.7, this may help (though letterbox 0.24b9 should work already).
i emailed the author (aaron harnly, harnly.net) about this, but haven't heard back (a few days). to be sure, i am quite grateful, as i think we all are, for his excellent plugin, and this workaround is quite simple for dealing with updates. -
I have a new iMac with Yosemite and iPhoto won't launch.
I get an error message that something is wrong with the app. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't work. Any suggestions?
I spoke with Apple Support because I had done all the updates but found even after using Migration Assistant, my photo library had not moved over. If you used this tool, you might want to go into manual mode and move your library over with a click and drag from one computer to the other. Also found that my music and documents didn't move over either. Not sure what Migration Assistant did for 15 hours. I used an ethernet connection. There are faster ways if you have the right cables.

I have a new iMac but iMovie 11 won't open - just crashes instantly?
Originally it did open but when asked to convert thumbnails from video in iPhoto when selecting this option to access these videos - it crashed.
I have tried deleting it the app and redownloading it but this hasn't worked and now it simply crashes on opening?
Any help gratefully recieved...
ThanksHi:
Those files are in your home folder ( ~library>preferences). You can find the library by clicking on "go" in the menu bar while holding the option key down. With the release of OS X, Apple has hiddeen the library - I think because one can do a lot of damage if one fools around with much of the data there....
