How do you transfer video from a miniDV camcorder to the 2011 model of MacBook Pro

I recently found an old miniDV camcorder that was stored in my house from several years ago.  There is video on the camcorder that I would like to import into my MacBook.  However, the miniDV has a firewire connector and my MacBook does not.  Is there a simple way to import the data to my MacBook?

If your MacBook has Thunderbolt, you can get a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter which should give you the connectibity you need.

    Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, & restoring your new phone from the backup of your old phone, as described here, will restore these photos to your new phone:

    how do you transfer from ipod to the itunes library

    You cannot transfer songs from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    NOTE:  For songs from the iTunes Store, you can also use the Purchased screen (in the iTunes Store) to find and re-download previous purchases (at no cost).

  • How to you transfer video from iphone to iPad?

    Does anyone know how to get videos taken on an iPhone 4s onto an ipad2 other than the cloud which I can't get to work on my iPad? 

    Well we have a couple of options, the one i prefer is the iPhoto route its also similar in Windows.
    Option 1
    If you own a Mac and iPhoto you can create an Event called Videos and drop selected videos you may want from other events. For windows its the same thing but instead you will be creating a Video folder under My Pictures.
    In iTunes go to Devices this is where your iPhone or iPad appears. You will find your iPhone or iPad select the Photos tab, under (Sync Photos from) hit the drop down menu and select the (iPhoto) option. Here you will check (Selected albums Events, and Faces, and automatically include no Events). Select the appropiate events including your video Events or folders.
    The Main thing that brings this together is making sure you select include videos under the same Photos tab.
    You should now have these folders or events in your iPhone, iPod or iPad.
    Option 2
    The other option we have is using a USB iPhone cable with a USB adapter sold from apple. It comes with an SD card reader and USB reader. The name of the product is named the Apple iPad Camera Connection kit
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE
    Option 3 for Pictures only
    Photostream the only downside to this is no video support that should be coming i hope.

  • HT2518 how do you transfer video from a DVD based camcorder that does not use USB?

    How do you transfet older video on tape and DVD based camcoder that do not have usb?
    looking at buying a MacBook 15.4

    I have done this for someone else with Tape Deck coax out through USB if you have installed a TV USB application such as Hauppauge WinTV HVR; recording with TV App which is rather tedious.
    Check out these - you may find better ways to do it depending on camcorder.

  • How do you transfer data from one iPad to another when upgrading models?

    Hello.
    I am about to sell my iPad 1 and buy a new iPad.
    How do I save my old setup and keep my purchased Apps (music, etc)?... I already made a backup in iCloud, but don't see any menu to allow for restoring any or all my information...
    Should I deregister my old iPad before or after I reset it to factory setup?
    Is there anything else I should I do before selling the device?
    Thanks,
    Jacques

    If you only backup with iCloud and have never used iTunes, then there is nothing more for you to do. But you have the iPad original so I'm guessing that you must have used iTunes at some point. This is what I would do - if you still use iTunes.
    Backup the iPad, transfer purchases into iTunes, and sync one last time. If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

    After you have all content saved in iTunes and iCloud go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings to wipe the old iPad.
    When you get the new iPad, restore from your backup and then sync with iTunes. You will have the option of restoring from iCloud or iTunes when you set the iPad up. I used iTunes because I still use iTunes as my main backup and iCloud as my "backup" backup.
    At some point, remove the old iPad as an associated device in iTunes. Do this after you erase the iPad,

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

  • HT1848 How do you transfer purchases from an iOS device using the new iTunes (11?)?

    I've just updated iTunes to ver. 11 on my mothers new PC and I'm connecting her iPad up for the first time.  I can't see anything like the transfer purchases option that exsisted in the previous versions.  I've tried to eject and start again, but it's still not giving me the option like it used to when you connected a device for the first time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    okay, should have serched a little more..  all I had to do was CTRL + b in my library to view the file menu, and under File -> Devices -> transfer purchases
    Please ignore this question!
