What kind of camcorder can I get with a non Intel Mac

I am looking to buy my first camcorder and plan to spend about $300.00. After reading the following quote about a Sony camcorder I am a bit concerned, as I do not have an intel mac, I have a iMac G5 Isight -2.1 cpu,2.5GB ram. I have iMovie 08 and Leopard. What kind of camcorder should I get with my set up?
"I also have new unibody 2008 Mac Book pro OS X - laptop detects camera right away and launching iMovie08, offering video transfer. If you have older, non Intel Processor Mac - forget about this camera - and ALL OTHER's AVCHD/H.264 camcorders - most likely they will not be working for you. So, please, do not write negative reviews, do not confuse people, OK? "

Something like this should work: http://tinyurl.com/ycy4rnu
Although list price is only about $200, with the extra battery(s?), Firewire cable, camcorder case, blank media, etc., that you will need if you do not already have them, $300 is not far off.
You can also consider other Firewire connected camcorders that are compatible with your Mac and OS.
Before I buy, I like to download the user guide for the camera I am considering and review it to be sure it does what I want. Regardless of which camcorder you are considering, if you cannot find the information about system compatibility in the camcorder's documentation, the retailer can help you find the information you need.
As shown in iLife System requirements, iMovie 8 can work with your Mac and a compatible camcorder:

Note that AVCHD and 24-bit recording have requirements beyond those stated in your system info.

Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?

/Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?S I just bought a Zen. Been trying for 2 days to load ANY videos on my player and getting nowhere. There's probably something simply that I just don't know.
I bought a movie and a TV episode from Itunes. Downloaded to PC. Can't get them onto my Zen. Tried Creative converter, got error. No description of the error just that the conversion was "unsuccessful". I tried several other converters from on-line. Still errors.
I tried to copy multiple DVD's from the DVD dri've to my PC (to then I assume convert somehow to the Zen), they all say they are protected so I can't copy them.
So what kind of videos CAN I get on my player? It's pretty useless to have video capabilities if you can't use it at all.
Can anyone help?
Sign me, aggravated.

I can't help you with iTunes, because I studiously avoid that software. But check your personal messages for more help.

Can video chat with Imac non-intel but not with Powerbooks

Hi,
I have a Linksys WRT54G firmware v. 1.0.6 connected to a Comcast Cable modem. My IMac Intel Duo (OS 10.4.6) is connected via ethernet cable to the router. I am set to DHCP on router and IMac. My Quicktime settings is at 1.5mb, I have tried with firewall off and on with the appropriate ports open. I have tried upnp on and off.
I can connect to other Imacs (non-intel) but not to powerbook G4's. With the Powerbooks I can text chat, but sometimes they can see my text, but I can't see theirs. And every video chat is a fail to respond with the powerbook, but they can connect with others.
Is there anything else I can do?
Please help. Thanks.

Hi cmbell,
Do you know how to access your modem ?
This should give you somewhere to turn off DHCP.
Then you go to System Preferences > Network and select the connection method you are using.
Then select the TCP/IP tab.
In the drop down that says Using DHCP change it to Manually. (or Manual with DHCP if doing James' way)
Type the IP you wish to use in the next entry field.
Copy the subnet mask form the Using DHCP
Copy any DNS servers listed.
Copy the router IP address which will be the modem or router in question.
Hit Apply.
Done.

Syncing with a non Intel Mac?

I have a new iMac that is running OS Lion.
I have an old machine that is non intel and cant run Lion.
I used to be able to sync calendars between my older non intel machines using Mobile me.
Now that I have updated my Mobile me account to iCloud, it looks like my new machine on iCloud is not syncing calendars at all with the non Intel machine.
Is there any way to keep the older machine in the loop with the syncing?

iCloud on a Mac requires Lion 10.7.2. All OSX before can't use iCloud syncing.
All you can do on non supported systems is using a modern browser to visit www.icloud.com for calendar,Adresses and Mail.

What kind of job can I get being a Web Designer/Graphic Designer?

I run BlackReefDesigns.com, and am doing quite a bit of
business consider I don't really advertise too much. I've learned
how to do eCommerce, Flash, etc and things are progressing nicely.
I feel confident in my skills, and I realize that anything I
don't know how to do, I can learn rather quickly. The problem is I
feel I need to become more of a 'business man' if I want my company
to really move forward. I'm only 23 years old so I was thinking of
going and working for a Web/Graphic design firm so I can learn more
about the business aspect of running my own company. Im also
working towards a B.A. in Graphic Design at a larger University in
Southern California...
Just curious, with my skillset, how much money could I, or
should I be making if I went and worked for someone else? Do you
guys know anybody in Southern California that I could work for?
thanks in advance

eh, teachers don't always know what they're talking about. in
fact, i
think a lot of the posts made here are a direct result of
poor teaching.
i know that's how i got a lot of my bad habits (not from a
teacher,
per se, but my first boss who taught me some basics) a lot of
people
think they know the dos and don'ts but really don't (plus,
they tend to
change). i thought i knew a lot of stuff until i started
coming here and
learned that a lot of what i thought was the right way to do
things
actually wasn't.
come here often. and listen to what these people say because
they know
their stuff (you'll quickly figure out who the ones are that
know what
they're talking about). i can't tell you how much i've
learned in the
relatively short time i've been a part of this forum. and i'm
still
learning!
teach yourself html. you don't have to be able to write an
entire site
by hand, but at least be able to look at the code and
understand what it
means. like others said, you seem to have a good grasp of
graphic
design, but websites have to be more than graphics.
to answer your money question, it really kind of depends on
the market
where you live. you might just want to look in the want ads
and see what
kind of salaries are being offered for this type of work in
your town.
there's also resources on the web where you can see average
salaries for
various jobs in different places. yahoo has one
http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/salary)
but there are lots of others if you
search for something like "compare my salary."
good luck! you seem willing to learn, which is great!

What kind of printers can I use with mountain lion?

i have a MacBook Pro
OSX 10.8.5
what brand of Printers can I use, compatible with Apple Computers with OSX 10.8.5

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most printers are compatible with Mac OS X. You can find the list of all printers supported in this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669

What kind of database can I use with jsp pages?

Well I have been an ASP programer for a while and now I want to be able to host sites on an Apache server so that means i need to just jsp pages or something that is not windows dependant. So I need to start a database, a small one just for client information, and I don't know what to create it in. I was going to use MS acess but I am guessing that won't work with jsp. So what are my options for desktop database applications? Should I download star office and try that I havne't ever used that but I imagine it comes with some kind of database program. Well let me know thanks.

JSP should work with any database that worked with ASP. The key is to use JDBC which is the equivalent to ADO. As long as you get the appropriate driver for the database, you're all set. As the previous poster mentioned, for MS Access you must use a JDBC-ODBC bridge which is really a JDBC driver that works on top of ODBC. This is the worst performing type of driver, but if you're using MS Access then perhaps performance isn't a priority.
Check out the Sun tutorial on JDBC if interested.

What internal hard drive can I get with 2007 Mac Pro?

Hello,
I own a Mac Pro that I purchased sometime Early 2007 and I want to add an additional internal hard drive. I am a little confused as to what my options are after visiting the Apple online store. It seems they do not have a choice for 1 TB drives for my machine. I do know that my current drive is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s (SATA II) 500-GB (16 MB cache buffer) Hard Drive.
I was wondering if I could add a 1 TB drive or do I need to stay with 500 GB size drive? Also, do I need to stick with 16 MB cache buffer or could I go with the 32 MB cache buffer size? If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. Normally, I would just think I could get any drive that uses a SATA II standard.
Thank you,
Leapstepman
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8

Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP21.007F.B06

I would still steer clear of Seagate, and WD drives are doing well across the board - Mac Pro and PCs.
Any SATA drive today is fine. SSD, 10K VelociRaptor, WD Green 1TB, Black Caviar... choice is yours.

Macbook Pro has no modem.. what kind of internet can I get?

I've been stuck using dialup internet on an ancient Windows desktop since I was 14 years old, I just bought my first Macbook Pro about a year ago. Yay!! I've been using AT&T Wireless Internet using a USB internet card since I've bought this laptop. I'm about to be moving into my first apartment and would love to have DSL or Highspeed internet so I don't have a monthly GB limit useage. Since my Macbook Pro has no modem, am I able to get DSL or Highspeed internet with AT&T? I've been stuck in the darkages using dialup for so long and haven't been able to stay up-to-date with anything beyond dialup internet. Help! (Thanks!)

Highspeed Internet, DSL or Cable, uses a special external modem, not a dialup modem. You'll get that modem when you sign up for the Highspeed service.

What kind of Landscapes can I cover with B1i?

You can connect and exchange data between B1/R3 and B1/B1 by creating or using content (BIUs - Business Integration Units)
Till now the delivered BIUs cover common business practices when exchanging data between R/3 and B1 and vice versa, how ever it is technically possible to connect other systems. Thus you will have to decide if you need to create a new adapter or use one of the ones that are delivered (HTTP, RFC, FILE, B1D1).

Hi Felipe,
The question would be, how can I create a new adapter?

How can I get lion on my intel mac

How do I get a copy of Lion for my intel power mac?

No PowerMac has Intel CPU on it. If it is a G5 it is a CPU made by IBM, not Intel. If it is G4, it is made by Motorola, and G3 is made by IBM. 10.7 will not run on any PowerMac. Neither will 10.6. Apple's transition to Intel was even more confusing for various Intel models:
1. iMac, read the EMC# on the bottom of the foot of the iMac. If it is it is white plastic with a right side of LCD loading optical drive, they will have an EMC# on the base which is enumerated 2104, 2105, 2110, 2114, 2118, 2111, 2133, or 2134 if they are Intel. Otherwise they are PowerMac G5 if everything else is the same.
2. Mac Mini, will have at minimum 4 USB ports on the rear if they are Intel. Otherwise they are PowerMac.
3. Mac Pro (Intel) has a cheesegrater case with two optical drive bays (not necessarily both being filled with a drive). PowerMac G5s only have one bay.
4. MacBook labelled below the screen is Intel. Powerbook and iBook are PowerMac.
5. eMac is PowerMac only.

If my iphone 4s doesn't support 4G LTE, then what kind of data would I get from the plan with 4G LTE Data?

I am currently have iphone 4s. I am planing to use the plan which have 4G LTE for data; however, my phone doesn't support 4G LTE. So, i want to know what kind of data would i get from this plan. Is it gonna be 4g or 3g or no data at all? I am very confused right now.
The plan is UNLIMITED WEB & TEXT WITH 100 MINUTES TALK. Up to 5Gb of nationwide 4g lte data.
If you look at the plan it has 4g lte data, but my phone doesn't support it. Please answer my question.

Ask the wireless provider you have the plan with - they should be able to tell what speed
you will get if you cannot connect at 4G/LTE.
Your iPhone will connect at the highest speed it can by default. But not all wireless providers
offer 3G as the fallback connection on their 4G network - some fall back to 2G.

Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)! Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do. (Also have its big brother Pismo running Tiger, which is still an extremely competent machine.) When I take them out of their cases, I'm still amazed at the G3's build quality.
