Using my old desktop mac as a slave for converting my video?

Ive got a bunch of video i need to convert.
I took a version of imovie 11 off my macbook and tried putting it on my old desktop.  It said it wouldnt work on that version.  I think its a 10.4 version.  I checked for upgrades but nothing.
It has a version of imovieHD on it.  Never even used it.
I want to convert a bunch of video off my SD card into imovie 11.  I was hoping i could make the desktop my slave.  
Any ideas on how to convert this video so i can bring it into imovie 11 on my laptop?  ( without having to use my macbook )
Thanks in adv.

iMovieHD = vers 5 doesn't support video from SDcard (devices).
for video from SDCard, you need at last iMovie08,
or a $$ 3rd party software as Voltaic ... but, converting SDcard video with a non-Intel computer is no fun = painstaking long ...-

  • Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard?

    Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

  • I was using my old iPhone 4 as an iPod for 4  months when one day I got this error message saying "phone is deactivated visit your local to reactive" ... what the heck??? now the freakin thing won't even charge!!!

    Nope. I've already turned off cellular data. It happens regardless, as soon as it is done powering on.
    I suspect it might just be built into the phone's firmware to do that... and I have to hit "ignore" whenever it happens, but I just wanted confirmation of that...

  • What version should be used on a Desktop Mac Intel Core running OS 10.8.5 and from where can I securely download it?

    The desktop Mac I just bought used from a dealer came with Safari but I prefer to use Firefox. What version should I be using? The Mac is running OS 10.8.5. Please provide a trusted link I may use to download and properly install the correct version. Thanks.

    Hello,
    The latest version of Firefox is 32.0.3. You can download a fresh copy of Firefox at:

  • How do i Use my old 2009 imac as a monitor for my new 27 inch 2014 iMac?

    Just got the 2014 27-inch iMac, and i have a 2009 iMac as well as a ViewSonic Monitor with a Thunderbolt adaptor.
    Is it possible with the 2 Thunderbolt display ports to have 2 extra monitors?...So far on the ViewSonic works. I tried to use Migration Assistant to Transfer files, and the 2014 saw the other computer, but the 2009 just kept looking for a connection while it was connected by Thunderbolt.
    At a local Mac store, i asked this question, and when they confirmed the the 2014 had 2 Thunderbolt ports, that i would be able to use the old iMac and an additional monitor.
    Please Help,
    Thank You

  • Can I use my old iMac as a second screen for my new one?

    I have an old iMac (about 4-5 years) that I don't use anymore and a new iMac that I just bought a few months ago.
    Can I us my old iMac as a second display for my new one? Its a slow computer now, but the screen is nice and big so it would be nice to be able to keep using it like that.
    If yes, what cord(s) would I need to make this happen?
    If no, is there any disadvantage to using a non-mac screen for a second display? (I'm a graphic designer, so little things like having the color exact on each screen are very important)
    Thanks for the help!

    Is there any way to do it without lag? Right now it works, but its really annoying to have things so slow on the other screen.
    Is there any way to hook them up so they work like an actual dual monitor setup (wired connection with no lag)?

  • Can I use my old macbook as a disk drive for my new iMac?

    My husband just bought me a new new iMac (yey!) but had assumed it would have a dvd drive (as you do).  It doesn't.  So can I use my old Macbook to upload cds and dvds and somehow import to my itunes on my new computer?

    As long as your Macbook is up-to-date.  Go to system preferences>Internet and Wireless>Sharing>check mark CD/DVD sharing.

  • I want to use a retro TV screen as a mask for an imported video. It works and previews correctly in iBooks Author but not when previewed on my iPad. Any workarounds or suggestions welcome.

    Hi there
    I've been trying to give my imported videos a new spin by using the screen on a retro TV image to play the video on. I've masked the screen in Photoshop, saved it as a transparent .png and placed it onto the page. I then place the video, size it to fit the screen, send it to the back and, as if by magic, the video appears to play on the TV. However, as soon as I preview the book and go to view it on my ipad, the video is back in front of the TV and the illusion is lost.
    Is there any way around this or am I going to have to make all my TV screens the same rectangular shape as the video? Also, is there any way I can stop the video being played full screen? Some of my videos are over 50 years old and the quality is pretty poor at full screen.
    Many thanks.

    Don't rely on 'Preview'.
    Share/Export as .ibooks file and then drag that to iTunes and sync to your iPad.
    Still no joy, find a pre-processing recipe ( that includes export for iPad) that doesn't spoil the quality in the process.
    Just keep in mind that low quality in means low or lower quality out, in this example.

  • I have a new/old desktop mac. I do not know the keychain login password. How can I make a new one just using administrator password?

    I have this desktop that has many programs and I like it alot but I don't have the login keychain password as I bought it used. it has mac os x 10.5.8 software. It won't let me send mail or many things because of this. Is there a way to reset that password.  I have the administrator code. Thanks Sharon

    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

    Not really, because > DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc does not support full use of the Mac Mini's DVD Drive.
    Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
    DVD movies.
    Audio CDs.
    Copy protected discs such as game discs.
    Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
    Burn a CD or DVD
    Your best bet is to pickup an Apple SuperDrive, or better yet a tray loading Mac OS X compatible optical DVD drive.
    I have a > LG SuperMulti 24x External USB 2.0 DoubleLayer DVD±CDRW Drive GE24LU20 that works great with all my Mac's.
    Other good option are > OWC Mercury Pro's and > LaCie's

  • Can I use my old powerbook (2002) as the screen for a mac mini?

  • Why can't I use my old Time Machine BU on TC for my new MBP???

    This is getting very frustrating as all the literature says I can use a Time Machine Backup on my TC network for my new MBP just purchased.
    The "old" TM backup (BU) was working fine with my MBP laptop that I just replaced (BOTH have Lion 10.8.2 updated).
    When I turned on my new MPB -
    I went through the system setup which took the information from my old one and carried it over - it worked fine
    I then went to the TM system preferences and tried to start with the old TM BU which was called MBP13 sparsebundle
    I was never given the window "would you like this computer to inherit the backup history from an older Mac". 
    I did go to the TM system preferences and clicked "select back up disk. But it selected the disk that the sparsebundle was on and then started a brand new backup. Thats not what I wanted to do.
    Remember that I use TC with an external Hard Drive to store the TM BU.... I tried both connecting directly to my new MBP as well as through the network.
    What I want to do is just inherit that old TM BU and then go forward.
    I really could use some specific help here...
    Thanks in advance.

    You can migrate from one machine to another provided both machines are able to boot from the same version of OS X. But that is not the case for you because the two computers have different hardware. The new hardware requires a special build of Mountain Lion. Your old machine uses a different build making its version of Mountain Lion incompatible with the new computer.
    Once there is a new public release of Mountain Lion compatible with both computers, then you can install on each as well as migrate from one to the other.
    This is a special situation that only occurs when there is a change in hardware that occurs before the public release of OS X has been updated for the new hardware.

  • Use Open Directory on Mac OS X Server for Airport authentication?

    Is it possible to set up an Airport Extreme network so that only people with user names and passwords in the Open Directory on my Mac OS X Server can access it?
    I'm picturing a scenario where users would be prompted for the same user name and password they use for other network services when they attempt to join the wireless network.
    Our Airport Extreme access point is connected to the second Ethernet port on an original-model XServe that's running Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 (soon to be upgraded to 10.4.x).

    What you seem to be describing, is WPA2/Enterprise level security. This would require you to run some type of Radius Server on your XServe, and you would simply duplicate the name & password they use on the XServe on the Radius Server. BTW, this is considered one of the most secure methods of running a wireless network in the corporate world.
    You will however, have to research Radius & it's requirements, as I have not yet implemented that on my own system. HTH.
