Before I go into the problem, please understand that I am completely clueless when it comes to computers. I do not use them in my line of work, so my knowledge doesn't go much past surfing the web, sad I know.
Today I picked up a Canon HF R10 for the sole purpose of getting good quality video of my son's football games. I am really interested in going from camcorder to imovie to youtube. While I was at Best Buy, I called over to the Apple store to make sure that the cam would be compatible. The girl I spoke with was extremely helpful and said that the camera is perfect and she actually uses the same one for her film class. She told me that all you have to do is plug in the USB cable to the Mac (3 months old) and imovie will automatically pop up. Well, its not happening that easy. I am very confused on the discs that came with the camera. Two of them say they are for Windows, and the other just says Instruction manual, photo applications, music data disc. I installed this disc and it did not solve the prob. I opened imovie to see if it would bring up the vids I took today, and it doesn't show up. It just tells me to connect a vid cam when the cam is already plugged in. HELP PLEASE! Thanks
