Bull*****.

Go to your finder and see if the Canon shows up.

I will try that. Thanks man. :)

If you still need help send me a PM and we can set up iChat do to screen sharing. I'll see what the issue is.

Also buy one of these at your local wally world.

Or in short a USB card reader.

I've seen a couple of posts telling him to buy a card reader. I'm sorry, but I fail to see how a card reader will play a mini DVD.

Still should own one ;)

Edit: This may be a stupid question , but CLK Man when you hook up the video camera to your computer did you put it into "VTR Mode"? The mode where you playback video?

Try putting the camera into playback mode and hook it up to the computer. Go into iMovie and go to "Capture" or import. It's been a while since I've used iMovie for anything.

I believe I say a VTR file on my mac. I clicked on it and it did nothing. :confused:

Well as is the case with all kinds of files if you can see the file but the application doesn't know what to do with it then your file is probably corrupt.

The camera said that I needed imovie 8 and I have a Mac G4 will that work? :D

That's it. I need a canon camcorder that works on my mac G4 with 10.5.8 any suggestions? PLEASE. :)

Mac G4? Good luck, that thing is ancient and no longer supported by Apple. You do know that you're 3 versions behind on the operating system right? All the new software is Intel x64 based.

Sounds like a great opportunity to switch to Windows 7, I bet your current camcorder would work just fine with it!

Wouldn't a file converter that goes from AVCHD (Canon's format) to one that the Leopard OS programs recognize, ilke Quicktime or AVI?

Besides, if he went with an Intel mac . . . he could run both Snow Leopard and "WinDoze" 7 Home, Premium, Ultimate, Ultra Ultimate, Penultimate Ultimate . . .

But I love my old mac G4 and my current Canon powershot 580 will upload limited vids.

I already read that, and thanks for posting that link. What do I have to do to get my videos on youtube? My old Canon 580 powershot works on my mac. :confused::confused::confused::confused:

How are you uploading video with you current camera (cable, disk, or card; what software are you using)? Is the camera USB or FireWire?
