What camcorders work best with a Mac Pro?

I have a late 2008 Mac Pro which uses OS X Version 10.6.8. Does anyone know if the Canon Vixia R500, R50, R52, or JVC EVerio Quad-proof would work? Would any of the recent Sony camcorders be compatible with my Mac Pro? Thanks.

Hi Al. Seems to be that you are the editor I was looking for. I have an Imac itel core 2 duo. 10.5.8 OS (2008) with Leopard and I'm editing with FINAL CUT EXpress 4. Soon I will upgrade because my plan is do some heavy editing in HD and burn Blue Ray. I'm really torn between the Canon Vixia and your Panny HDC SDT 750 (because of 3CCD and 35mm wide) but what I care most it's about the log, transfer and editing . Any bad experience with log, transfer editing,etc with this camera? Do you need special software? Transfer are normal, not long or unstable?. If you have any suggestion for my computer (need to upgrade I guess) will be more than welcome.
Thanks. Julian

What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4

What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4?

I still use Firefox 3.6.28 FF 3 is an old version and I get all kinds of warning from Mozilla about it, but I have deactivated those and it still opens web sites perfectly fine. Others have gone to using TenFourFox but I had a group of plugins for Firefox that would not work with TFF.
The main thing you will encounter with browsing these days is a modern Flash plugin no longer supporting G-series Macs. I still use the newest that was available for PPC Macs and have not encountered problems. If you need help I can post about that too but it's a long post.

What printers work best with the new 21.5" iMac Thunderbolt?

Which iMac model and which Mac OSX version? The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers are now either poorly supported or complete adandoned by most pritner makers.
If "About this Mac" (from your Apple menu at the left end f the menubar) shows the word "Intel," please let us klnow and we can get you moved to the forum for newer iMacs; that one gets much more traffic.

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
"Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?
OS 10.7.5
Mac Pro 1,1
20gb ram
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Card
30" Apple Cinema HD display

after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved... Thankyou Adobe support

Which camera will work best with the MAC? NIKON or Canon

Contemplating on buy a camera and a MAC, but need to know which camera will work best with a MAC, Nikon or Canon? Any info is appreciated

Both will work very well. You might not even need to install the software that comes with them because they'll probably work fine with iPhoto etc. Before you buy a camera, check this list of cameras supported by OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
Just about all Nikon and Canon cameras are on that list. If a camera is so new it is not yet on that list, it will be in the next update, probably.
That list is for raw format compatibility. If your camera also shoots JPEG, it will work with a Mac even if it's not on that list. If a camera doesn't work by plugging in a cable, take the card out and put it in an ordinary USB card reader and the Mac will read it.
Nikon has a slight advantage in that it supports a mode that lets the Mac mount a camera like a disk on the desktop. Canons don't mount on the desktop, but it's not really a disadvantage, because Canons still work great with Apple iPhoto, Apple Aperture, Apple Image Capture, and Adobe apps, and all of those are more efficient ways of transferring photos than dragging them out manually.

What antivirus works best with Lion?

I am running a mid 2010 build 13" MacBook Pro with Lion (from a clean install rather than from a Snow Leopard upgrade) and my existing Kaspersky antivirus for Mac licence is running out.
I occasionally use Parallels 6 & Windows 7 and have that protected by Norton.
Has anyone any recommendations on what is the best Mac antivirus program that is compatible with Lion?
Thanks,
george_51

Thanks for the help everyone.
I found my machine to be really really slow the day after the Kaspersky licence had expired so I then deleted Kaspersky completely and guess what my machine was back to its usual swift self - definitely a thumbs down for the folks at Kaspersky... It also put an end to three automated e-mails a day from them asking me to renew my licence.
After looking around I trialled ClamXAV but then decided to rely on my Lion firewall, my own good sense (perhaps the weakest link in this chain) and Little Snitch which I bought after trialling the download.
Job done.

Wich videocamera works best with Adobe Connect Pro?

I want to buy a videcamera to import live video in my ACP sessions. Wich videocamera works great or best?

Any camera that works with Adobe Flash Player should work well with Adobe Connect. Given the number of existing products in the market, we cannot possibly test with all specific brands and models.
Some folks in the team give some guidance around this topic in a blog post at Adobe Connect supported cameras and mic. See of this helps. Do let us know what works or does not work for you, so that the community benefits from your findings.

What camcorders are compatible with final cut pro 7

There are so many cameras that use hard disks and flash memory and I don't want to buy one that is useless with final cut pro 7. What are some guidelines I can follow?

Yesterday I was driving home from work in the carpool lane, and a motorcycle was coming up behind me. So I did my usual pulling to the left to give the fellow ample room. But the car in front of me veered to the right as the motorcycle approached -- obviously to try and block him. I was quite peeved at the idiot driver, even though it had nothing to do with me.
In the same way, I am offended by the tone av3x is using.
I don't like how he/she is talking to you guys, with comments such as, "David, why not just answer the question?"
Hey av3x: The people on this board don't owe you any answers. They are not getting paid to read about your troubles. They have invested time with you already, and you should be respectful.
BTW, it sounds like the JVC HM100 might suit your needs.

Which web host company works best with iWeb/macs

Hi,
I would like to publish my website using a .com account. Can anyone recomment a web host company that is good and works well with what iWeb publishes???
Thanks so much!1
Tara

I apologize.. I should have done a search on my topic
instead of posting a new one.
Getting answers through search is hit or miss depending on what terms you use and how much time and patience you have on your hands. And sometimes it's just easier to ask your question because you might not know how best to search for your answer.
Don't ever hesitate to start a new thread to ask your questions. That is what this forum is for.

What hardware works best with elements?

Hi:
I am purchasing a new computer and want to buy one that will help elements to work faster. I will be taking lotsa pictures. Do external hard drives work just as well as internal hard drives? Should I focus more on ram, chip, etc??
Thanks

Actually, what works well for PrPro, will work well for PrElements, with one exception - PrE does not yet take advantage of CUDA/MPE, so one can get by with a lower-level GPU for PrE. That might change, with PrE 12 (probably to be released about Oct, 2013), but no one knows yet.
Now, if you also use Photoshop CS 6, the GPU does become more important, but still not at the level as PrPro CS 6.
Also, if one thinks that they might be upgrading the software to PrPro CS 6 in the future, then going with a CUDA card now, should be just fine, if the software is later upgraded.
As for using externals, there are some considerations, but they DO work well. This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4542396#4542396
Good luck,

What camcorder works best with iMovie (and ATV)?

Sooner or later I will buy a HD camcorder to replace my SD MiniDV camera. I know that iMovie has serious problems with interlaced material. So I guess I should buy one that shoots progressive. But what else should I keep in mind? I shall edit the footage in iMovie and view it in Apple TV. Good picture quality and seamless editing and sharing workflow is appreciated.

Anything that's DV, HDV, or AVCHD and shhots in a format supported by the application.

What version works best with Windows2000

I have a PC with 2 GBs of RAM, running W2K, primarily. I had avoided upgrading from the Firefox 3.x.x series ( or 5 ? ) because it was my understanding that it was the last one suitable for Windows2000. Not long ago, I got an automatic robot request from Firefox to update, and tried to make sure it was still within the compatibility range for W2k.
I thought that I was getting a minor update to a W2K version, but instead, have Firefox 12, which has totally disrupted my internet activity because it constantly bogs down into barely running, or else freezes up for long periods, and frequently crashes.
I want to roll back to whatever I'd used before this disaster. And if there's any special ways to do that, I want to know how it works. Thanks.
Kiwi

You can get Firefox 3.6.28 here:
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Be sure to set it so that it will not auto update. In the about:config window, set these items to false:
* app.update.auto
* app.update.enabled

What version works best with Windows ME? I have V. 2.

I occasionally get a message about a stuck script. It's a lot better than the constant java errors from Explorer 5.5, but I'd prefer not being interrupted at all.

The last version that worked on Windows ME was Firefox 2.0.0.20
