Will 'old' PowerPC iMovie plugins work on an Intel Mac

If I have 3rd party iMovie plugins which were made for OS 10.3 etc, I was wondering if these would work on an Intel based Mac (which I'm thinking of buying).
Does anyone know if new versions must be made with universal binaries? Or if the PowerPC translator thing will sort it out.
I'm posting this to the iMovie 6 forum as Intel Macs won't run anything else.
Stuart

I don't think so. I had some Slick transitions and effects installed on my 10.3 machine, and migrating them to my new iMac Intel caused iMovie HD to load with error messages concerning the plug-ins. Once I removed them, the application worked just fine, so my conclusion is that the older versions are not compatible with the new Intel-based machine.

Does FLV export plugin work with macpro (intel macs)?

i have a macpro (intel based mac), flash 8 professional and
quicktime pro. flash 8 professional comes the FLV quicktime plugin
that lets you export to FLV from quicktime. the plugin is installed
and is in the quicktime plugin folder but the export option does
not appear in the export drop down.
i have the same set up on a PPC mac and i have no problems
with exporting FLVs from quicktime pro.
i have the feeling that the plugin doesn't work on intel macs
but don't know for sure. is there anyone here who is running an
intel mac, quicktime pro and flash professional? if so, does the
FLV option appear in quicktime's export drop down?
i can't find any information anywhere on this.
thanks

thanks.
i can use the flv encoder fine BUT flash pro 8 installs a
quicktime plugin that allows any app that exports using the
quicktime engine to save as flvs. on my non intel mac i can open up
a video in quicktime pro, select export and choose FLV. on the
intel i can't do that because the FLV option is not appearing in
the export drop down. i checked the pluging and it is installed but
it's not appearing as an export option.
i'm trying to check to see if others are experiencing the
same problem. is the flv plugin not compatible with intel macs? is
it compatible with quicktime7? etc.

Will a Saittek Eclipse usb keyboard work with an Intel Mac Mini?

The Saittek Eclipse is my favorite keyboard.
Anybody know if it will work with an Intel Mac Mini.
Box only says Windows, but I'm just wondering if everything except volume controls will work fine? (it is also illuminated, with a light level control, but I'm guessing this shouldn't matter with Windows vs OS X?)

I am a writer though and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs. I just don't want o run out of space. And I hate!! slow response time.
Is the i5 adequate as well?
Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly. May very well buc you more in the future.

Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

with a firewire 400-800 if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
Many Thanks

Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
Yes (if the external iSight works.)
External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
• To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
like one of these:
http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m&emsp; (I use this one.)
http://tinyurl.com/cgll7o
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html
• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:

• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.
Many Thanks
You're welcome.

Will my 30" apple display work on a new mac mini

I want to upgrade to an new mac mini and from my Powermac G5.. but I ave a 30" apple cinima.
Will it work on the new mac mini?
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin, the Mini only has Thuberbolt for Displays...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)
Though that article says...
This makes the system backward compatible with existing DisplayPort hardware upstream of the driver. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort.[6] Existing Mini DisplayPort adapters for DVI, dual-link DVI, HDMI, and VGA are compatible with Thunderbolt, allowing backwards compatibility and no loss of functionality compared to Mini Displayport.
I cant find any!

Will non-universal-binary Logic+plugins run on an Intel Mac?

Hi,
this may sound like a dumb question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer on this question yet: will my Logic 7.1 (not Universal Binary) install on an Intel-Mac?? Our local Mac store expected that Rosatta will take care of everything, and that only performance will suffer a bit.
That would mean that all non-universal-binary plugins would run, too??!!
Just curious...
Thanks!
Regards,
Jaap

Hi Jaap,
In a word, nope!
It seems you're more informed than your local dealer, :o)
Rosetta will not handle the plug-ins & third party (AU) need the (U B) upgrades. You need the 7.2 (U. Binary) to run logic on the new Intel machines.

Flash Player 10.2.153.1 upgrade not working on 64bit Intel-Mac in Safari 5.0.4

I feel robbed! I want to use my Safari.
The latest upgrade of Flash player does not work.
I don't even remember downloading it, it must've been an automatic update!
I can not play youtube videos nor can I play any games on Facebook.
Who knows what is not working in my Avid!! I have not been working on that lately.
The flash player still works on FireFox, but i have no intention on switching to that.
The first aid has been run a few times.
It will download the free flash player for Intel Mac and it says the install is successful, but it is not there.
I have CS4 and it never bothered or disrupted the free flash player before.
I uninstalled it just in case and nearly lost it! When I tried to reinstall Flash, it said my disc to was blank!
Luckily, a friend in the business of fixing computers was able to get that back! whew.
The flash player from the CS4 is showing up in a folder and will even open when clicked on, but it does nothing. It is version 10.0 r2.
When I go to the place where they say to "see what version of flash you have"
I just get that icon that says to "Get Adobe Flash player".
It down not show the suggested "missing plug-in" pictures.
Yes, I read there is compatibility issues with the 64 bit Mac, but it always worked before!!!
Help!! Please!!

So the Shockwave Flash plugin in FF is Installed and Enabled. That's why Flash Player is working and why you were able to see the Flash Player logo animation. On the other hand, evidently the Shockwave Flash plugin is either not Installed in Safari or if it is it is Disabled. And that is why it's not working and you can't see the Flash Player logo.
Yes, I know Flash Player can be Installed in any supported 64bit OS. Also I thot that the 64bit browser in Mac was the "default" browser and the "Compatibility layer" had to be used. Similiar to the PC IE8 or IE9, switching over to the Compatibility feature in the browser.
Do you need to activate the Compatibility feature? I have had other Mac users tell me that their problem was they were using the 64bit browser and found out they had to use the 32bit browser, so I thot it was something they had to do. I would think if it was automatic they would not have had to "do" anything. But like I said I don't use Mac so can only relate what they tell me.
With Safari on either of the test sites, no Flash Player version was displayed?
Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
Flash Player.plugin, flashplayer.xpt
After that see if this thread is of any help: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2725949#2725949

Does it work with 17inch Intel Macs

Hey
I was just wondering if the new AirPort Extreme Base Station works with the 17 inch Intel Mac. I heard some people say that it wasnt compatible with these computer. Just wanted to know before i thought about buying one.
Thanks

The new AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) will work with your 17-in iMac, but, not at 802.11n, since your iMac is not "n" ready. It will, however, work if the AEBSn radio mode is set for 802.11b/g compatibility. (ref: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=5F3 1E0A1&nplm=D4141ZM%2FA)

Will old Canopus ADVC-100 work on 2010 imac?

HI There
I am running 10.6.8, have a 2010 imac 27" with 8gb ram
I want to start importing my video footage into either imovie or FCP connecting an old VHS to my Canopus ADVC-100 and then the Canopus to the mac
I am guessing i just need a firewire converter or something? Can someone advise which cable i need?
The Canopus has the small and normal firewire ports of the past (see manual here: http://finearts.uvic.ca/sim/equipment/manuals/_av_convert/advc100.pdf)
I haven't had any need for this new firewire port on the back and wondered if i invested in a firewire converter it would work or whether the hardware is too old for the imac?
Sorry if this is a daft question
regards..

I'm not sure why there would be conflicts. The ouput of the ADVC is pure DV video, that's the beauty of the ADVC, it doesn't need any proprietary drivers or capture applications like most USB solutions do, so it isn't really OS dependent in any way. As long as your application understands DV cameras you should be OK. I've used my ADVC-55 with Snow Leopard before and am now using it with Lion, with iMovie.

Will my LG GBW-H20L work in the new Mac Pro?

I've got an LG GBW-H20L Blu Ray drive in my Vista machine, but am looking to get the new Mac Pro. I was wondering if I could move my LG into the Mac Pro with no problem? I've read some posts that mention an IDE to SATA converter, but this drive is already SATA. The Mac Pro is pricey enough without me having to buy another expensive drive.
Thanks in advance

I have one in my first gen Mac Pro. Lower tray, connected directly to one of the motherboard ODD SATA ports. Power is via a standard converter, old type to sata type. I only use it for burning data, never tried movies. Works fine.

Will logic express 6 install/work on an intel machine?

don't need it to work, just install, so I can then install the Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade overtop of it. Any thoughts or ideas?

Hi,
The Logic Pro 7.2 update will only install on an existing Logic Pro 7 program.
You will have to first upgrade from Logic 6 to Logic 7, and THEN update to 7.2
Cheers
PS Logic 6 will not run properly on an Intel Machine.

Panasonic NV-EX3 now works with iMovie 2.1.1 on Intel Mac!

This has been a longstanding grumble - my perfectly good, but 8-yr-old Panasonic NV-EX3 DV-camcorder refused to connect with iMovie when I upgraded from my old eMac to my present Mac Mini.
I tried every trick I could think of to get the computer to see the cam, including copying the old iMovie 2 over, but it wouldn't run on the Mini even under Rosetta.
Anyway, I just tried it again, having upgraded to OS 10.5.6, and iMovie 2.1.1 ran fine, and immediately connected with the old camcorder.
I uploaded some video, saved it as a project, and was able to open the project with iMovie HD, so now I have a route to get video in, and the camcorder is reprieved.
I am posting it here in case anyone else has one of these old (but excellent) camcorders and wanted to keep using it.

Will iCloud syncing work with non-Intel Macs?

My wife is using an older Mac. (Pre-Intel)
She now has a new iPhone 5.
I realize the new phone can not sync with the old version of iTunes that runs on her machine.
But can the iCloud "see" her old Mac and sync contacts with it?
(So far it doesnt seem to be working.)

No.
