The Fink version was also downloaded without a need to compile (one of the reasons I started down this path was the hope to not to have to compile). They call it downloading binaries. Thanks for the lead, I had seen them as well. I think if they make these unix programs easier to download and...

I tend to purchase my electronics stuff from Small Dog, a Vermont based Mac specialist. They sell the DC 10, and so I am nearly certain that it can be used with Mac equipment. They also provide support for helping me connect stuff to my Mac. Maybe you could call them and ask? They seem very...

From the canon site: You can also share your video by connecting your DC10 to your computer with the supplied USB cable. Then, with one touch of the Print & Share button, you can transfer your video footage to your hard drive. Did you try touching this button (with iMovie open). Maybe this...

You bring up a good question. My camcorder has a firewire connection and I recall this being a requirement for iMovie. The message you get from the OS about not having any volumes that it can read is probably correct, as the video is not formatted as a Mac disk (just as my miniDV files are not...

The canon site says the DC10 is compatible with Mac OS X and should work with iMovie. The normal way to get this working is to turn on the camcorder in VCR or playback mode, connect to the mac (and then usually a dialog box comes up asking what you want to do - select iMovie OR iMovie boots)...

Does the "disk utility" control panel see the hard drive at all, for formatting purposes? Presumably the scrubbing software might have not left the required HFS format on the disk, so the OS would not mount the drive. But the disk utility is suppose to see unformatted drives and allow you to do...

I did the install of Apple X11 from the Tiger (10.4) install disk (once I scrolled down and found the "optional software" install button). And to my pleasant surprise the gperiodic program ran with no other action on my part. Since then I downloaded emacs and gimp and they also worked...

And if you have a dot Mac account you can sync the two computers (the Sync function of OS X).

Thanks for helping. I am about to install Apple X11.

Are you willing to pay for a dot Mac account? The built in Sync function of OS X will sync up email and settings (files?) and it runs automatically at a period set by you. I have not used but read about rsync, a unix command, so if both machines are running OS X this could be used (I have seen...

Are you looking for a DVD reading program (to see movies) or a DVD burning program? Or a DVD creation (like iDVD) program?

May be unrelated, but I had an inteference problem with neighbors portable (radio not cellular) phone. I ended up changing the channel of the wireless router. So could you have any type of interferences? Like a second wireless network that the PC is hoping to? Or a wireless phone? Also there is...

Other apple suggestions. Try pinging both your mail reading account and mail sending account as suggested below. Also apparently you can go "offline" with your mail (see below). I recall this happening to me once. * Send yourself a test email. The mail has to go out through your outgoing mail...

Found this at the apple site: If you are unable to send or receive mail, you may have a problem connecting to the Internet. You can use Mail Connection Doctor to help you get connected to the Internet again. 1. In Mail, choose Window > Connection Doctor. 2. In the Mail Connection Doctor...

Some services require a separate password for sending and receiving and these can be different (as the mail sending and receiving computers can be different). Most use a single password - but it was worth a shot. Have you searched the net and apple support ? I may give this a shot for you as I...

I have used this software to backup hard disks onto DV tape, as they have quite a bit of storage space. It would allow you to have the data on a fresh tape. www.coolatoola.com is the link I have. DV Backup LE is a MacOS X application which lets you use your domestic digital DV device as a data...

I realize you have checked all the settings, but this does sound like a settings issue. To send mail most servers require a password, and typically in the settings area the password is not shown, so might be easy to miss. A suggestion is to re-enter your mail server password on this one...

Depending upon what you implemented as "security" you may need to tell your router that the new computer should be allowed to connect. There is a setting in Linksys systems (and I assume others) where you can set up a level of security where you have to register computers as being allowed on...

I used Fink Commander to get my file. I did not see any place for me to suggest Fink load dependencies. In addtion I think I have found that the X11 system is probably more than a "dependency". I think everyone assumes you have X11 and then want to use Fink to load specific programs. Other...

I hate to say this, but it is probably cheaper and easier to just get a new scanner. They are so cheap these days. SCSI devices were hard enough to keep running without going through a USB conversion. I love what the Hamrick people have done to keep old equipment running, and they deserve to...
