How to Connect iBook with HDTV for iMovie?

How can I connect my iBook G4, which has iMovie 7, to an HDTV (or its VCR) in order to download the HDTV's digital file, for iMovie? I do this now for an analog signal TV using analog to digital converter between my iBook and an analog TV VCR. Will appreciate comments. Chuck Y. Chicago. 28 November 2008.

12/9/2008. My own answer follows. I phoned Apple Tech Support and they did not know. I phoned Computer Discount Warehouse Tech Support where I bought my iBook and they did not know. I phoned the Apple Store and they did not know, but said it would take a cord with the three--red, white, yellow--plugs for the TV set into a firewire plug for the iBook. I phoned Radio Shack and they did not know nor have such a cord. I phoned MacMall and they did not know. Finally I phoned Canopus who makes the converter to use between an analogue TV and my iBook, and they said that the converter would also accept the digital to digital signal from the TV VCR (after mid February 2009 TV change to digital) to my iBook. Best wishes. C. Yopst, Chicago

    How i connect iBooks with itunes on my nas?

    I have been suckered by this problem too. I had all my e-books, mostly PDFs, saved on my NAS and available in iTunes. I wanted to access them from my old iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and my new iMac with OS X 10.9. But when the files were moved to iBooks, they disappeared from the NAS and now I'm in a mess. Thanks, Apple :-(

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • Mpeg2 files converted to DV files..how do I "share" with iDVD for burning?

    Newbie question here...thanks for all the great info I have found here already...but need some more. I'm using an iMac with OS X 10.4.7, QT Pro, downloaded MPEG StreamClip, and purchased MPEG Playback as suggested on this board.
    Here's the situation:
    I have analog Hi8 Sony camcorder (CCD-TRV98) with NO USB, firewire, etc. connection...just good ol' SVideo. Was able to "capture" old home movies using analog to digital coverter through my Windows Desktop. Saved files in mpeg formats and avi formats on external hard drive.
    Plugged external hard drive via firewire port on iMac. I can play the movie files in Streamclip and can "convert" to DV files...and I can import them into iMovie fine....but when I try then "share" with iDVD the program encodes for literally hours....i finally gave up for a tiny movie after 2 hours of "encoding"....think this is a problem with my rookie status of using iMovie, or are my files a problem? Does the fact that I'm saving the files off a Desktop and using on Mac matter? If I'm converting the files to DV in Mac, would the Desktop influence even matter? (Are you rolling your eyes at me yet? R-O-O-K-I-E here and I know it, but hey I'm trying!
    Hope I have explained my situation well...if not let me know what I left out. I could really use the help...I have 30+ Hi8 movies that I want to burn to DVD for family and archiving purposes.
    Thanks,
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iDVD,

    the combo Streamclip + Apple plug-in is the most recommended here...
    yepp, iMovie "prefers" dv only... relying on the QTengine, it can import some other formats/codecs... as mpeg4, you could be lucky, to make it accept an .avi container with the right codec inside...
    .avi is a PC media container, as .mov in the Apple world: just a "wrapper", containing maning codecs, formats, standards, not-so-standards...
    so, if your Windows app allows export as ".avi, codec dv", it should work... there's no 100% gurantee with that PCMac swapping....
    how can I get iMovie to "share" with iDVD for burning? iDVD will not open the movie made in iMovie....?
    now that a new - and surprising! - topic...
    you have some options, how to share to iDVD:
    * inside iM there's a iDVD button under the pane... (I don't own iM6...)
    * you should safe your project into the Movies folder, then launch iDVD, create new project, in the media bin/movie you should find your movie...
    * create new iDVDproject and drag'n drop project from Finder/Movies into iDVD window....
    I asked you, to tell us your free disk space on internal drive... see my last post... please tell us... , a 2min project should be rendered in a few minutes...
    did you read the turtorials before using the iApps?
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials
    coming from the PC world, some workflows differ..
    we MacUser say: are easier to accomplish.. ;-))
    Plan B)
    ... in case, you own a miniDV camcorder, playout files from PC to tape, then import as usual into iM/iDVD... digital copies, no loss in quality..
    good luck
    thanks for usage of forum's marker feature ...!

  • How to use iBook with projector

    Hello. I have a 12" iBook G4. I might be needing to use a projector with it in the near future and I'm not an expert on projector connections and stuff like that. I know my iBook has a video-out and I have the adapter which connects a video cable to a TV. I'm just wondering if projectors have video-in ports like TVs? Or how would I use my iBook with a projector? Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Remy,
    The Apple iBook G4 specs says:
    Video mirroring supports VGA video out to an external display or projector (requires included Apple VGA Video Adapter) and S-video and composite video out to a TV or VCR (requires optional Apple Video Adapter, sold separately).
    You can find the necessary cables in the Apple Store under Mac Accessories/Cables.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

  • How to connect Air with Thunderbolt?

    How do I connect Air with Thunderbolt?
    Bought Air in Oct 2011 and Thunderbolt today. 
    Does Mac OS X (10.6.5) work with Thunderbolt?
    Do I need a special cable other than what came in box?

    Hey moxiedoggy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you want to use Target Display Mode to use your iMac as a second screen to your MacBook Air. Since your said your MacBook Air is from 2011, it should have the thunderbolt, and you can connect the two computers using the following instructions:
    Use an iMac with Thunderbolt as a display
    If you have an iMac with Thunderbolt, any other Mac with Thunderbolt can use it as a display. The iMac will play both the video and audio from the other Mac.
    Connect the Thunderbolt cable to the Thunderbolt ports on each computer.
    Make sure both Mac computers are turned on and awake.
    Press Command (⌘)-F2 on the keyboard of the external display Mac.
    If you want the external display Mac to play audio as well as video from the primary Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, and then click Output. Select the external display Mac from the list of devices.
    You'll want to go over the requirements for using Target Display Mode here, along with other FAQs:

  • How to connect multiple Xserve Raid for Best Performance

    I like to get an idea how to connect multiple Xserve Raid to get the best performance for FCP to do multiple stream HD.

    Again, for storage (and retrieval), FireWire 400 should be fast enough. If you are encoding video directly to the external drive, then FireWire 800 would probably be beneficial. But as long as the processing of the video is taking place on the fast internal SATA drive, and then you are storing files on the external drive, FireWire 400 should be fine.
    Instead of speculating about whether it will work well or not, you need to set it up and try your typical work flow. That is the only way you will know for sure if performance is acceptable or not.
    For Time Machine, you should use a single 1.5TB drive. It is likely that by the time your backup needs comes close to exceeding that space, you will be able to buy a 3TB (or larger) single drive for the same cost. Also, I would not trust a RAID where the interaction between the two drives is through two USB cables and a hub. If your primary storage drive fails, you need your backup to be something that is simple and reliable.
    Oh, and there should be no problem with the adapter, if you already have it and it works.
    Edit: If those two external drives came formatted for Windows, make sure you have use Disk Utility Partition tab to repartition and reformat the drive. When you select the drive in the Disk Utility sidebar, at the bottom of the screen +Partition Map Scheme+ should say *GUID Partition Table*. When you select the volume under the drive in the sidebar, Format should say *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*.

    How do i connect APEX with MYSQL via Apex's Database link? The OBE doesn't go into specific detail about how to link the two.

    Password      
    Remote Hostname or IP      
    Remote Host Port      
    SID or Service Name      
    I need to link to mysql database so I can set up a 3D pie chart in apex

    Hi jononioo
    A database link is a device for connecting between Oracle database instances only. Oracle does have a method for connecting to other database systems (Transparent Gateway) but this is restricted to other commercial databases and I don't believe there is a gateway for Mysql. (I could be wrong)
    I don't know Mysql but maybe there is some way to push data to the Oracle instance. Other than that, is there any reason why the data has to reside in the Mysql database?

  • How to sync iPhone with iTunes for first time without setting up as a new iPhone

    I have an iPhone 5 that I have never sync:ed with iTunes on my Mac, I have just set it up and purchased apps etc from the iPhone itself.
    Now I would like to sync with iTunes for the first time with the iPhone but when I connect it, iTunes asks me if I want to setup the iPhone as a new iPhone (I assume form scratch) or from a backup from other iPhones that have been sync:ed with my Mac.
    Now I dont want to setup this iPhone from scratch and erase everything thats on it, I just want to sync with my Mac, download apps, music etc. How do I do that and get beyoind the first screen that asks about setting up as a new iPhone ?
    /Kjell

    Hi I think I've found a workarround. I'm currently copying all files on my iPhone to the new PC using this program: http://www.getsharepod.com/download/
    After all files are copied I think I can enable sync in the new iTunes and delete the iPhone, then add the copied files in new playlists.
    I'll let you know.
