Any way to import, play 1080p/24fps video from Sony DSC-HX200V

This Sony camera only comes with Windows software, but apparently iMovie/FCP can import. However, the website states:
Notes
When importing AVCHD movies as "iMovie" or "Final Cut Pro"
The AVCHD encoding method of the 2011 model is different from those of models released before 2010.
By updating the Mac OS to the most recent version (10.6.7 or higher), importing is possible.
Cannot import 1080/60p(50p), 1080/24p movies.
Anyone know how I could convert the 1080/24p video shot by this camera, easily, into a format editable by FCP X? (or FCP studio 3)?
Thanks
Bob

That information is obsolete. FCP imports AVCHD media in any frame rate.

HT3209 Cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?

I have a AMD 6 core @ 2.8 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and a Geforce GT 640 with HDCP support, but still cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?
According to the hardware requirements, my system well exceeds them, but no joy!

UPDATE: I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes. For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem. Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

Download and play .MTS (HD pix from Sony DSC-TX10)in my i-Mac

Hi everyone!
I got stuck with this one.
Is there any apple app I can use to dowload HD (.MTS files from Sony DSC-TX10) so as to be able to visualize them on my i-Mac?
Many thanks!
Daniel

ddominguezp, if you want to also edit the .mts videos you may need to 're-wrap' the raw .mts files to get back all the folders and other files that would have been on the memory card when you first recorded your HD video clips. A lot people attempt to pull the video clips out of all the folders surround them and that causes problems for iMovie. iMovie by itself will not recognize the .mts files but needs all the pieces that would have originally come with the .mts file to work. I'm providing a link below to a discussion started by Karsten Schlüter that covers all the bases trying to get a .mts file back into iMovie. What you are trying to do in the end is 're-wrap' the .mts files with all the folders and files that are now missing.

HT4864 Is there any way to get my photos and videos from my old android phone to my iCloud? I'm going to but an iPhone in two weeks and desperately need to download all the info I already have... Please help!!

Is there any way that I would be able to download my pictures and videos from my old android to my iCloud?? I'm desperate to make this happen. It is the pics of my baby girl. I have just received the iPhone so I hope to never have this problem again but I need a solution currently.... Thanks!!

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer

you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

Converting video from Sony DSC-H1

My Sony DSC-H1 camera produces MPEG's not compatible with Mac. I’ve tried a couple different ways to convert it into a format that can be loaded into iMovie or iDVD, but each step takes SO LONG! My goal is always to get either unedited or edited video onto a DVD so my family and others can view it. Does anyone know what is the best (and least time-consuming) process by which to do this?

If I need to edit, then I have to convert the MPEG 2 from my camera to DV for iMovie, correct? But then I need to transfer it to iDVD in order to copy it to a DVD, is that right? It’s a lot of steps that each take a long time for the conversions...no shorter way?
If I don’t want to edit, say just keep vacation video as it comes from the camera, is there any quicker way to just get the MPEG 2 onto a TV-playable DVD?

Any way to import Entourage XML **cache** files from its database to Mail?

I had a really bad meltdown and all I could retrieve from my address books (yes, I backed up, no it failed too) were Entourage XML cache files of my addresses and emails. They exist as "pointers" to originally stored info, not the info itself, so I cannot simply import them as tab delimited, or text, because of all the tags (or without a helluva lot of work editing) - however all the info is there. This looks to me like XML right? So is there someway to simply convert into another program - an in between convertor? editor? - that could get them to tabbed format. Here's what an address looks like to give a sense what I'm dealing with. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've done a few test runs and the video quality seems pretty decent considering the quality of some of the original VHS recordings, but a "rough around the edges" look is noticeable when the source tape wasn't the best quality to begin with.
If converting the .asf file compromises quality further then I'll avoid that. The device seems at least like a great starting point for doing something with all of those old tapes. I figure I can at least experiment in the meantime and save up to get a more Mac friendly device that does the more direct conversion. At the very least I can get my old video projects from VHS onto DVD and work with them later on in iMovie.
I'm just a little irked that every now and then there's hardware or an application that is made PC only, almost like the manufacturer doesn't even realize that Macs even exist. The device wasn't made by Microsoft or one of the major PC makers, so I don't get not making it so that the video files are saved as mpeg4 instead of .asf
Now that I think about it, how common are SD cards outside of digital cameras (still and video cameras both seem to use them)? I have a camera that uses an SD card and if I didn't have the video converter, I wouldn't have known about using the cards for something other than pics or camera footage, and I wouldn't have known about needing a card reader because the camera plugs into a USB for downloading pics.

Is there any way to import passwords to Firefox 4 from Google Chrome?

I know Google Chrome can import nearly everything from Firefox, but is the other way around possible, too?

If you used the option to delete settings, or whatever it is worded when uninstalling, Firefox will remove all your important data information from profiles for all installed versions of Firefox, and you will then need luck and a file recovery utility to try to restore the information.
You mentioned files being moved to Trash, I was hoping you may still have the required original files. I use Windows XP, and I realise Macs use different locations for files, but I think the files have the same names.

Note the last article discusses problems when bookmarks are lost, and some of the possible reasons and solutions. Obviously I do not know what has actually happened in your case, and whether or not you used the delete option I initially mentioned.

I got my New iPad in the mail yesterday. I imported my photos and videos to make a short movie. The photos had lost all their original quality. Is there any way to import photos without losing quality?

If you mean "optimizing for iPad," no.

Is there any way to get my photos and videos off a ipod touch 5th gen that went through the was and does not work anymore?

My ipod touch 5th gen went through the wash the other day while it was on and it came out not working at all. I was wondering if there was a way to get any of my photos and videos off of it so i could put them on my computer. Anything will do, from do it yourself methods to companies that will do it for you.

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPod, iPad or iPhone from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos (only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- A data recovery company can likely get them off the iPod. Be prepared to pay alot. Google for iPhone data recovery

Any way to import multi-layered Illustator file into Motion?

I have an Illustrator map of Europe and i would like to bring it into Motion.
I know that Motion can import Illustrator files as pdf but is there any way to import a multi-layered illustrator file into Motion. I just saw this web site regarding a Motion plug-in that claims to do just this:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16298/layerlink

Without a dedicated plug or FxPlug, Motion has no inherent ability to parse Illustrator layers.
We just bust the layers out and save them as individual files. Or, of course, we use After Effects.

Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous compture and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new windows installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

Bit of a pain but possible:
1) My documents, tools, folder options, show hidden files
2) open itunes
3) edit, preferences
The most important bit coming up:
4) LEAVE PREFERENCES OPEN THROUGHOUT WHOLE PROCESS, OTHERWISE IPOD WILL BE WIPED.
5) plug in ipod
6) open my computer
7) ipod should be in devices with removable storage
8) into ipod
9) into ipod control
10) into music
11) select all
12) copy
13) into my documents
14) into my music
15) into itunes (folder)
16) into itunes music (folder)
17) paste
when the paste has finished:
18) use remove ipod icon on toolbar to get ipod disconnected safely
19) into itunes program
20) close preferences
21) file, add folder to library
22) find your way back to itunes music folder
and there it all is. Go back to hiding hidden folders in tools, folder options when done, or they can get in the way (or deleted by mistake!)
no idea how to do any of this on a mac, i'm a PC user!
take it easy,
