Hi, I have an iMac from 10 years ago and a Sony HDV Handycam camera.
With this same computer and this camera I have imported videos using a firewire cable and the iMovie program.
However, a year ago the computer broke down, slowed down and the color on the screen stopped being visible, it was impossible to use, so I reinstalled the software with the CD that was in the pack when I bought the computer, the MacOS X Leopard, now seems to work properly.
But now I have tried to import videos as I used to do with the same camera and the same cable, but iMovie doesn't recognize the camera, however, the camera does recognize the cable connected to the computer, since the iLINK appears on the screen.
I don't know what could be the problem, the cable is somewhat broken, but it is very little , I put duct tape, I thought maybe that is the problem, although I also doubt it. Another thing I have thought is that maybe I need more system updates.
What could be the problem ?
How can I import videos from my Handycam to the iMac?
Thank you .
