• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

Can't connect my external hard drive to my Mac Book Pro. Any thoughts?

I have a 2.0 TB WD Mybookessential as an external hard drive to my Mac Book Pro and I'm getting a "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" message every time I try to remount it. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion, Cattus, it is in fact a formatted disk with a lot of valuable data, so I do not want to reformat the disk.
I followed your advice, however the repair failed because of an "invalid B-tree node size".
This is the log:

I can't sync my iPhone with iOS5 with my Mac Book Pro for Wi-fi. The message error is: that's not compatible or something like this. But in the iPhone and the video of iOS 5 says that this it's possible. What can I do? Thanks for helping

Might be easier to post numbers so other people with exact same settings can compare directly. Also helps to post screenshots before and after getting the error.

Can I connect a Flat Diamondtron Display to a Mac Book Pro

Hi,
My laptop screen is too low for me and is causing neck pain. I'd like to connect up a screen at a higher level. I own a 17" Studio Display Natural Flat Diamondtron. Will it connect to the Mac Book Pro (bought in 2007) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo? If so, what cable(s) do I need and where would I get them, please
Many thanks,
Fiona.

Hi Fiona!
Can you look on the back of the Studio display and find the Apple model number. It should be some like "M7649." Please post it--that can help people come up with more targeted solutions.
However, I believe your monitor uses the obsolete Apple Display Connector (ADC) technology that makes it expensive to connect to a modern Mac. The problem is that, in addition to the video signal, the ADC monitor must get power and USB through the cable. Your MBP's DVI port cannot provide power, just video.
The proper adaptor to make your monitor work on an MBP includes a power supply but is discontinued by Apple and was expensive even when new (US$100). It looked like this:

When you find them, they can be twice as much on the used market.
The less expensive adaptors (US$20-40) are for the "other way," connecting a modern monitor to an older Mac. They generally look like this:

and won't work for your needs.
You can purchase a smaller, no-name FP display new for what the proper adapter could cost, or pick up a cast-off 17- to 19-inch CRT monitor for a few pounds.
If I've confused the issue, please do post back. It is an area the needs explanation as people with the older ADC monitors are finding the obsolete technology a challenge with modern computers.

Allan

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

I can't find the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro

I can't locate the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro. Do I need additional software?

How & where did you search? I gather the videos are no longer in the cam? Where do you have the videos go when transferring from your cam?
Download WhatSize and/or OmniDiskSweeper to see if you can "see" the videos.

In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro

In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro?

To do what? Yes you can connect a USB flash drive to the system and if it has the Recovery HD files on it you can boot from it. If it has the OS X install files on it you can boot from it. If it is large enough to contain a Time Machine backup on it you can restore your system from it.
So what do you want to do with the USB thumb drive?

How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of 10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of >10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

I will never know if the problem was one of transfer or format compatibility. The movie would not copy from one external hard diask to another, both attached to my MAC. But when the movie (which was in mpg by the way) was downloaded directly (without any other intermediary) into my external disk from the computer (a PC) where the movie was originated, the file did copy. And when I attached that external hard disk to my MAC, i could see it using the MPEC streamclip app.
Thank you anyway!

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

OK. Starting with iTunes: Macworld - How to transfer iTunes libraries between PC and Mac.
Get yourself an external hard drive and format it using NTFS on your PC. OS X can read from an NTFS formatted drive. Copy your photos and documents to this drive. Use the drive to transfer you iTunes data via the method outlined in the above linked article. This will prove easier and faster than using a network.

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.
