Video transfer question for older mac 10.5.8

I am trying to figure out how to transfer video from my JVC GR-D770U video camera to my PowerPC G5 running 10.5.8. I have the proper firewire cable but have been unable to find answer for my question on the internet that is specific to my situation.

... I dont have iMovie and cant find a version that works with my older OS.
The camera videos are on a Digital Video Cassette tape, not a card.
Use iMovie with your Firewire (IEEE 1394) connected mini DV camcorder.
iMovie 6 HD is part of iLife '06, works great with older miniDV camcorders,
and is compatible with your Mac OS X 10.5.8. You will need to install
iMovie '06 before you can use the downloadable latest update from the link.
If you cannot find it locally, this old version is available on-line, including Amazon.com.

I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion. There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed. I have no idea what that passcode is. It seems to want a numeric code.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n for older Macs?

Are there any plans for Apple to release some sort of upgrade for older Macs so that we can use 802.11n wireless networking?
I have a Power Mac G5 (2.5GHz DP) and a MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo), so the hardware in my Macs doesn't handle the 802.11n specification. (Please note that I'm not talking about the software enabler. That's not going to work on older hardware.)
Are there plans for new AE cards that can be swapped into the G5s or an ExpressCard 34 card for the laptop?
(And why oh why does the UK government not allow wide channel? UK consumers are stuck with only a 2.5x speed increase, whereas US consumers get the full 5x speed increase.)
Thanks!

802.11n refers to a speedy wireless connection. When
you connect with a wire, you're not using 802.11 at
all. You're using Ethernet, and your Core Duo mac
will connect to the Airport Extreme at 100Mbs (a
little faster than the top speed of 802.11n). Then
The top speed of 802.11n is considerably faster than 100Mbps. In narrow band mode, the Airport Extreme cards are connecting to AE Base Stations (AEBS) at 130Mbs. In wide band mode, 270Mbs. In theory, that makes connecting to the new AEBS device wirelessly faster than via the wired ethernet. It's a design decision that just doesn't make sense in my opinion.

Top two best video cards for older Mac Pros?

I have some older Mac Pro towers that vary from:
2.66 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
..to this:
2 x 2.93 GHz 6 Core Intel Xeon
Looking for at least the top two video cards that are tried and tested that would work best with at least Premiere Pro and AME. I just need to narrow down the unwieldy list that can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html

Are you adverse to using aftermarket cards that have been converted to work properly in a Mac? If you aren't, then I'd recommend talking to Dave @ MacVidCards because he can cook you up an nVidia 700-series card that will boot properly in a Mac Pro, run at PCI-E 2.0 speeds, and work wonderfully in Pr/AME.

Searching Archive for Older Mac 10.4 (non Intel) Computer Lost Flash Player

Hello Forum Users!
I'm sorry to bother you, but checked recent posts and knowledge base and cannot seem to find my problem listed.
Problem starts and ends with older Mac operating system (10.4.11, Yes, I am still using Tiger and my G4 is said not to be acceptable to Leopard so its time for new computer..but until then)....
I have only a 60 GB HD, and it was getting "full" so suggestion I received and someone helped me do it, was to eliminate all old "downloads" I was saving.
Fine....except that while I was cleaning up the older programs I "don't use" to get more room on the Hard Drive (I had less than 10 GB free and Apples don't like that on their Journal Drives), I accidentally "erased" (then threw out as trash to get room) the Adobe Flash Player. Not a problem! But now of course I remember that is "why" keep normally all "downloads" as files in case I do that....so no older download to use as my own archive.
Ok, not a problem! Go to Adobe and download a new Flash Player (Of course I can't use 10.3 and all the others you keep referring to, as I don't have an "Intel" chip operating computer, so 10.4 is supported by newer Flash Players but only those using an Intel chip which my computer doesn't have. (Lap top else I'd try all types of modificactions to work around the problem).
Sorry too many details, but rather let you know now than questions back and forth.
The final irony is that I know of Adobe's Archives and went "back in time" downloading and testing out various Flash Players (sorry, didn't pay attention so I did not ever have marked down which version of older Adobe worked with my 10.4.11).
So I tried all the 10.2's 10.0's 9's (even the developer ones) I hit the 8's and realized that maybe I'm not doing something right as I do think if you are using 10.3 now, that 8 versions should have been usable according to the June 2010 system requirement lists.
For downloading I select Mac "other" as my operating system since the current specificaitons for downloading list 10.4 to 10.6 as "Intel" based.
Did I leave anything out?
I really need Adobe Flash Player as most of the web sites are just refusing to display anything but words for me, so just boring now on web without access to all the content that Flash Player provides. (no more funny You tube videos either of course!).
Can anyone help me with my Adobe problem?
Thanks!

To both of my helpers.....Success! (Skip to end if you don't want to read the details).
Sorry for the delay in responding to all of your suggestions!
eidnolb: Here is what I found on the page with red "f" this time. But using Safari, the whole top of the page says "Flash" meaning that the red "F" is part of a Flash item that is not loading in Safari, but does load in my other Browser, Sea Monkey.
Using Safari I right clicked (was on wrong page sorry) and got the "ClicktoFlash---Settings" settings
I do not have regular "settings" anymore on my list just: Load Flash/Load all on this page/add www.Adobe.com to whitelist/ClicktoFlash Settings.
And in the Click to Flash Settings there is no box to uncheck for hardware acceleration. Only things like Options/sIFR Text Updates Uninstall (of course) version 1.5.5 if that matters).
I set up my account in Adobe using Sea Monkey which I do when Safari is fully being used for other purposes that day, so that explains why I got confused sometimes, the Flash Content in Sea Monkey "works" but the same page loaded in Safari does not work. I do have Firefox, but that has too many saved pages that have not been gone over to "unsave" them when I'm done either printing the contnet or saving the content or bookmarking it, so that is quite unusuable right now so I don't know if any of the flash is working or not on Firefox (and I don't have Chrome loaded in yet....maybe I read it was Leopard only? I forget why it is not
another choice for me).
Willener pat's (finally used a mirror!) suggestion I try the FP uninstaller again, I made sure it was done using Safari (Sea Monkey does not like it)....and despite it appearing for the higher levels of Mac OSX I tried it....
Its getting complicated. I can read the instructions how to do it in Sea Monkey, but Sea Monkey does not like the file (does not know what to do with it and offers my entire "Mac" database of applications i.e. word, etc to use it (very bad). Safari can use the file but I have to click on it without the accompanying instrtuctions to help me as they are not visible or printable anymore from within Safari without Flash. So I'm using the printed instrucitons from Sea Monkey to follow and Safari to do the downloading!
I'll work this out yet!
eidnolb: I visited http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html after uninstall as you and pat say to do.
But the message reads:
"The following displays the type of Flash Player version that this browser is running, and its capabilities. Usually only developers creating content for Flash Player require this information: "
But Guess What? The box is a "FLASH" item!! So I can't see what version is in there! (Catch-22 they call that!).
My company's Flash pages are showing up on both Safari and Sea Monkey, they pause then load even though I've not set them for "permissions" or "whitelist" on the ClicktoFlash" because the content is created by various people and they have bad web page habits so especially I do not load Flash immediately at my company's web pages, as it can hang or cause scripts to keep working so I have to stop it. That is why the person I deal with got me "ClicktoFlash" as just because I know how to create a web page, doesn't mean all the other ones I deal with know how!
I'm thinking at this point, should I try installing back in the version again? I guess no harm can come from that so I went back to eidnolb's version in original message and tried to load it in again.
Result is: nothing!
I clicked on your address in Sea Monkey and copied to safari and both don't work. "Page Not Found" Error.
This is what I clicked on to get the Flash installer 10.1.102.64 before! I know it worked then, why not now? So I'll use the copy I've downloaded before but why is the link not working now?
eidnolb: June 15, 2011 10:53 am
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp 10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip] Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg
By the way....reading everything that came with the installer program (it appears for developers only as archived version), it says to "restart" system after uninstall. Maybe that is what I did not do, but I've closed and restarted my computer each time I leave so I know its been "done" in middle of writing your forum replies, I just save it elsewhere and come back to continue writing!
So closing and restarting everything had no effect. On the Adobe Find Flash Player Version page, I still can't "see" the box with version of Flash Player I'm currently running, as its a Flash box that does not activate. The other Adobe page with "red" F still does not show the me "red" F just a huge "Flash" box that I can't open.
So here goes with installing again from the saved version of download (by the by I'm now down to 9.46 GB free since I've opened and downloaded so many files so many times. Just don't know which to delete as nothing has worked yet!
Now it works! I think!
I got the "Find Flash Player Version" page and I can "see" the result
I'm using Player Version: MAC 10,1,53,64
Debug Player: No
Opening system Mac OS 10.4.11
Video Capable Yes
Audio Capable Yes
Local File I/O Enabled: Yes
So I guess that is it!
It works !
I could have just said this part alone, but wanted both of you to see what steps I took to get it working again! (Might be helpful to anyone else stupid enough to try to create more room by deleting any large files with unidentified names).
Which answer fits the bill for "correct" answer? I"ll click on and award points however you both see fit (10 to best answer 5 to possible answers).
I went to check on the one you (eidnolb) answered about Google Maps (I have a iPad now and always use it for my portable use of Google Maps so didn't notice anything like he mentioned, so I just went in to give a check and Safari and Google Maps are all working fine with street views (the orange man---does anyone have a name for him? Have a contest!). It all works so thanks again.
Best regards to everyone!

Beta available for older Mac's ?

I see there is a Safari for those who have Windows, but those who have the older Macs are unable to update to the newest Safari?
Why is this?
And is there a free beta release for those with an older mac ?

Sad that this is the case, and it doesn't explain the "why" of it... but perhaps it is like many things in life, where we have to wait until we get to Heaven to understand the difficult questions in life. haha
Anyhow... I suppose I will live... or just use Firefox.
Have a wonderful week!

HT4796 Transfer files from older mac mini to new macbook pro: incompatible ports

I have an older Mac Mini with only USB ports. I just bought a MacBook Pro with thunderbolt and USB 3 ports. I need to transfer my data to my new MacBook Pro using the Migration Assistant but the direct connection ports are not compatible. How can I do this?

Use FireWire, Ethernet, or wireless. The first two can be adapted to a Thunderbolt port.

Good wireless cards for older Mac Pros

I have a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz at work that we are trying to get online wirelessly. A couple of months ago, we bought a Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless-N USB Adaptor, which was working fine until a recent update was performed. Since then, the computer crashes almost immediately if the wireless adaptor is plugged in, but runs fine when it is taken out. I am curious if anyone else has run into a similar problem when using a wireless adaptor. I also wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a different, reliable wireless card for an older Mac Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I have almost the exact same situation.
Same system, a d-link wua 1340 usb wireless adaptor.
Worked fine for several weeks or so until i updated to snow leopard.
Now frequent system crashes, grey screen and the box that tells me to use the power button to shut down.
I tried going back to 10.5 and still the same problem.

Pages Converter (for older Mac files)

Hi all.
I have a fairly new iMac that I bought last July. I have been using Macs for years. When iWork downloaded with Maverics I deleted iWork 09 from my HD. I now try to open Pages files and they say I need to re-open them with iWork 09 and save them again. Also I can not open any of the older Claris Works / Apple Works files from my University days. Loosing alll these files due to an update that is incompatible is unacceptable. I still have the iWork 09 key form the disks I bought, but like I said, I have a newer iMac so no CD/DVD drive. Can anyone help?
Cheers

Pages '08 files need to be opened by Pages '09, or exported to Word .doc/docx files.
Are you sure you don't still have your older versions in your Applications/iWork folder?
LibreOffice (free) will open a lot of oldeer files.
Be warned that Pages 5 is very buggy and shy 100 features.
External CD/DVD/BluRay drives are cheap from eBay, or you can open the DVD on an older Mac and make it a .dmg file in DiskUtility, then install that from a USB stick.

Photo Booth available for older Macs?

Hi all,
I've recently purchased a MacBook Pro and an iMac, both which have the built-in iSight and Photo Booth. We're having such fun messing around with that, I'm wondering if the software is available for older, iSight-equiped Macs.
Many thanks.

Video Card Recommendation for Power Mac G5 Quad

Can anyone recommend a video card upgrade for my Power Mac G5 Quad?
I am now running the nVIDIA GeForce 6600 card that came in the machine, but I'm wondering how much performance increase I'll see with a large image library in Aperture if I upgrade. I'm interested in all comments.
Also, is there a "medium" upgrade and a "kick-***" upgrade?
Thanks!
G5 Quad / 4.5GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I hate to say it: At the moment there is no graphics card upgrade available for the G5 Quad and the other PCI-Express Power Macs. There are a lot of threads about this topic in this forum. It is simply a shame that Apple does not offer any graphics upgrade for their former top of the line machines - but they do offer them for their new Intel Mac Pro. Maybe one day ATI will offer an upgrade, but at the moment this is just a rumor. All you can do now is to buy a reflashed PC version of the GeForce 7800 or buy a ridiculously priced spare part GeForce 7800 from a store who is willing to sell you one (there is one on the web but i forgot the url).

Replacing a keyboard for older mac

It appears that part of my Mac keyboard fried, as the space bar no longer works, and I assume this isn't fixable since rebooting didn't help. (Fortunately I'm typing this at work!) I want the extended USB keyboard with the numeric keypad on the right side. Looked in the Apple store, and danged if they don't have only a keyboard that requires OS 10.6 or later! How can I get a new USB extended keyboard that works with my PPC (pre-Intel) that runs on OS 10.4.11?

I went by Best Buy today, and their Apple specialist looked up the model number online. Reviews going back to 2010 showed it working for people then, and he felt it probably would work for my Mac even though it SAYS minimum requirements are 10.6 and up. He says it hasn't changed and suspected that Apple just wants people to upgrade their system software and keep current. Perhaps the later software has some extra functions on this keyboard that won't work in 10.4. However, he strongly suspected that the keyboard WOULD would with my system anyway, since an Apple keyboard is an Apple keyboard. So, I bought the thing, hooked it up, and here it is, working. I'll have to get used to it, since I really preferred the more ergonomic curved and higher keyboard like the older one. If I can ever find the allen microwrench I'll need to open up the old keyboard, I'll give cleaning a try.
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and advice. This online community is quite helpful.

Blogger usage question for recent Mac switcher

I was wondering , as a recent switcher, is there a way to transfer pictures onto blogger.com like hello/picasa? From the PC, picasa would basically load all pictures from my HD and send what I wanted to the Blogspot for publishing on my page. Is there a similar app for macs, either for the free blogger.com or a way to post pictures? Thanks, Pete

currently using the x1900 right now with just the bootcamp drivers.
Before you swapped cards I would download the nVidia drivers now and put them somewhere on your Windows drive, make a folder for them. I'm not sure if you are using XP or Vista. Vista has a larger driver library (and newer) and I would think would detect it, but I'd still want the latest and greatest from nVidia's site.
Worse that can happen is you'd have to start Windows in Safe Mode (basic VGA drivers) and then run the nVidia driver setup from the file you had previously downloaded.
I just ordered the card for my Mac Pro. I had to downgrade my ATI x1900XT due to stability issues.
