I have an older Mac mini running Mac OSX 10.4.11 and iMovie version 5.0.2. &nbsp;I just bought a Sony HD camcorder model HDR-SR10 that's 40GB HD camcorder. &nbsp;When I plug in the USB cable to the Mac, iMovie says no camera attached after I set on the camcorder &quot;USB Connect&quot; mode. &nbsp;What is wrong with this picture??<br />
<br />
Should be an easy one for a Mac person.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

iMovie version 5.0.2 won't recognize my Sony HDR-SR10 Camcorder

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
