Re: For those unhappy with the new iMovie
Hi, I like the new iMovie too. When I just want to get a short movie up and running I think its great. I have iMovie HD on the computer, plus Final Cut Express in case I want to do real editing. But, I already have a series of photos and short movies up in my .Mac Gallery. cheers, Susan.

If you can get you hands on a copy of the OS X version of Paperport viewer 5.6 it will open old PaperPort documents directly. You can then save them in just about any graphic file format except PDF. Of course you could then use Save as PDF in the print dialog box.

Re: Perhaps the previous iMovie was too good.
Hi Mark and WAMUGgers On 4 Sep 2007, at 10:41am, Mark Heeler wrote: If you don't like the new iMovie, just use the old one. If you need more, upgrade to something like FInal Cut Express. Simple. Do you know if Apple intend to further update the old one, such as it it is that many seem to extol its superior virtues. Are we going to see two parallel versions of iMovie? Eg iMovieAM and iMoviePRO? I suspect not really.

Firewire Connection
Would appreciate any advice on the following... I am trying to transfer video from Cannon MV700i to imovie via firewire 6 pin. Have had no problems previously but this time it is saying that there is no camera connected. I have switched cameras, changed cable, switched ports, repaired permissions, run disk warrior and macjanitor, rebooted -all without success. My external hard drive (which is also connected via firewire) when turned on does not appear on the desktop. USB cables and ports are all working fine. Problem is only with firewire. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Some discussion here: http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/scanners/topic2039.html Indicates you could try GraphicConverter if you've got '.MAX' files, or the visioneer software under Windows under parallels/VirtualPC/VMWare/a PC.

Boot PPC Macs from USB drives (was: Re: Portable HD)
It used to be the case that only Intel Macs were able to boot from USB 2.0 drives while older PowerPC Macs would only boot from external firewire drives. However, even that limitation is not the case anymore: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061017084322177 Easily boot from USB 2.0 drives on PowerPC Macs Tue, Oct 24 '06 at 7:30AM PDT • Submitted by kidzmatter2me This isn't so much a hint as much as a discovery, but it could be useful to someone. This hint talks about getting a PowerPC Mac to start from a USB 2.0 drive, but it involves messing around with the system's NVRAM, which can be a complicated thing to do. But today, I tried something new. I backed up my internal drive to an external USB 2.0 drive using SuperDuper! (a great application, by the way). Today, just for fun, I rebooted my PowerBook G4 with the USB drive connected while holding the option key to load the boot drive selection menu. It showed my internal drive as well as my external backup drive as valid boot drives, so I chose the external drive. OS X booted successfully off of the external drive, albeit slowly. But for recovery purposes, this could be invaluable. My system is running 10.4.8, so I'm not sure if this is a 10.4.8 feature, a SuperDuper! related thing, or if it has to do with some other factor, but it works, and that's all I care about. Useful to know. :-) -Mart On 30/08/2007, at 5:58 PM, Robert Howells wrote: On 30 Aug 2007, at 5:11pm, Robert Howells wrote: Would that have been a USB2 only unit ?

Trashing its .plist file did not help either. So I had to restart the computer on its original instal DVD and use Disk Utility for there to Repair Permission. This was carried out successfully. And, this did somehow fix the installed version of Disk Utility which is working beautifully now.

Re: Mail Import
Hi Chris, I'm not sure what version of Mac OS X you have (10.2, 10.3, 10.4, etc). In 10.4, if you have backed up ~/Library/Mail, if should be possible to import as per Ronni's instructions or in fact just copy the whole ~/Library/Mail folder back in place (provided you have set up your Mail Accounts or copied back ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). The latter has worked for me in the past (quick, simple, effective), but of course I don't know about your individual circumstances.
