Anything NEW in "bridge" devices for VHS transfer to digital?
I still digitize a lot of old family VHS tapes -- the hard way. I take a LINE OUT out from the VCR deck and INTO my Sony digital cam. Once it's digitized on Sony Hi8 tape, I can then out the tape INTO the Mac and iMovie. Works fine, butt one step too many. Awhile back there companies selling "bridge" devices that claimed to skip the middleman and let you output from VHS directly into the Mac. Most of them sucked. (Dazzle, anyone?) Anyone know of new devices that do the job? A friend told me he's been able to use his digitalcam as such a bridge, but I can't figure out how to do it on Sonycam (it has RCA inputs and an S-video input). I connect the VCR to the Mac via the Sonycam camera as the bridge. No luck. The videocam display instantly goes into "DV-IN" mode -- as if it thinks it's supposed to bring the video in from the Mac instead of from the VHS. (The Sonycam's DV firewire port is labeled "DV In-Out") Any help out there? Surely by now there's an easier, quicker way to convert from analog tape to digital..? -- David C

My Sony 520 has a "DV Out" soft switch which I assume is the same as the "Pass through" setting mentioned by other users. In any case, with this option selected the RCA/Mini-jack audio is applied directly to the FW output without having to "record" to tape as it appears you are doing. Not sure if this might be your problem here or not.

Best device for VHS/8mm video input/record to disk?
Looking to transfer old tapes to .avi files or Xvid, or .mpg from VHS and 8mm tapes.
Not professional grade, just some old stuff for fun and to dump the tapes in the trash!
Anybody with experience that can offer suggestions would be appreciated.
JohnI ended up buying a 'Set Top' DVD recorder to replace both VHS and 8mm decks. I can use it copy old tapes to DVD and record new shows off the cable just as though it was a VHS recorder.
If I need to view the videos on my Mac, they play just fine. The only issue would be if I wanted to do some editing, but I think I can even overcome that issue by converting the DVD video to DV format and then work with that on my Mac.
If I were to have bought a card, I would have gone with the Canopus as well.
Thanks for your input.

New or refurbished device for a broken iPad?
Hi,
my iPad got broken and I took it to the Apple Authorized Repair Center on Tuesday where they confirmed it. I'm waiting now for a replacement and I just called to ask when I'll get it but I found out that I won't get a new device, but instead Apple gives a refurbished one for defect devices. I'm not really happy about this. Is this really true?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
MonikaI would not worry about getting a refurbished iPad, I have read posts here saying that they are better than a brand new one as they have been given very special attention . Apple just would not do this if they thought they where less than perfect.

How do I transfer music on my old IPOD( click wheel) to Itunes on my new computer(Windows 8) for further transfer to a new IPOD nano
If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

[Solved] How to create a ntework bridge device?
Hi!
I'm trying to create a network bridge device for using it with KVM.
Therefore I installed netctl and bridge-utils.
I have two network interfaces in my computer. net0 and net1.
net0 is connected to a network switch and gets its address via DHCP.
net1 is disconnected.
My aim was to create a new device, br0, that uses net0 to get an IP address from the DHCP server of my network.
So I created the following configuration:
[mine@intelmine ~]$ cat /etc/netctl/bridgekvm
Description="Bridge for KVM"
Interface=br0
Connection=bridge
BindsToInterfaces=(net0)
IP=no
## sets forward delay time
FwdDelay=0
## sets max age of hello message
#MaxAge=10
When I start this configuration with the command
systemctl start netctl@bridgekvm
The br0 interface appears:
[root@intelmine ~]# ifconfig
br0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

The strange thing is, that the br0 device gets the same MAC address as the net0 device.
Right after activating the netctl profile, I cannot ping any host on the network anymore.
When stopping the netctl profile both devices, net0 and br0 disappear:
[root@intelmine ~]# systemctl stop netctl@bridgekvm

What is going on here? How can I simply create a bridge device for a KVM host?
Thanks,
newpipe
Last edited by newpipe (2013-07-01 08:07:56)Thanks for the clarification, teekay!
I was just confused because of the behaviour of virtualbox. There you can also set bridged network to the guests, but you don't need to change anything on the host config.
Now I understand that I just need to disable the interface in the Network Manager, create the bridge device with the wished IP config for the host and tell the guest to use that bridge interface. The guest then gets a new interface with a new MAC and IP config but connected to the bridge interface.
Now everything works for me. Thanks a lot for your help!

New Photos App - Can't Import Video from Digital Camera
Hi, everyone. I just "upgraded" to the new Photos app, but I'm finding that I can no longer import video from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5. With iPhoto, this was never a problem. All of the old videos I imported from this camera are there after migration, and are playable within the program. Photos import just fine. However, I get an error message for the videos (below). I don't understand why I'm not able to import anything new from that device.
I opened iPhoto to attempt an import and it worked just fine. Any help is appreciated. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac 2010. Thanks.Hi there Jermaster
iMovie 3 does not support the camera you have. iM is a Digital Video (DV) editor. Cameras that record to mini DV tape is what is required. IM 3 does not support USB either. You need Firewire. The camera you have is a flash based Hard Drive camera. To get the video off this camera you'll need iM08 or 09.
But it doesn't appear that the computer you have will support either of these versions.
See below ...
iLife ’09 System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
iMovie requires an Intel-based Mac, Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster).
GarageBand Learn to Play requires an Intel-based Mac with a dual-core processor or better.

Any way to use standard VHS deck to convert VHS tape to digital file (iMac)
I use FCE/iMovie. I've had old 8mm films converted to digital files to make family movies - very costly. Is there a way to use a standard VHS deck as a source with my newer iMac to convert old VHS tapes to digital files for editing?
I purhcased the Canopus 55 - it is working well. You can't preview in iMovie, though, which is a challenge and was a comment in reviews on Canopus 55. I did buy the power source with it based on reviews.
However, I am posting a question about iMovie 08 which has quit making thumbnails & writing the video even though the import screen appears to import. -
I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?
iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions. -
ITunes Match - attempts to turn on for new iPad Mini result in dreaded Transfer message
Let me start by saying that I did search these forums for an exact match to my issue, but did not find anything acceptable.
First, let me be clear, this is a brand new iPad Mini w/Retina Display. It's replacing my wife's older iPad 3rd Gen device. We restored it via iCloud with my wife's Apple ID. This same id is what is entered in the iCloud settings on the new device. iCloud Keychain and Find my iPhone are both on and associated with this same Apple ID.
However, for iTunes and App Store purchases, we are using a different Apple ID (mine), which is the same id we used on the prior device for iTunes and App purchases (mirrored settings). For all intents and purposes, the two device are configured identically (iCloud - her id, iTunes and App purchase - my id). We are able to download updates, buy new apps, etc. And, during the restore, all apps were re-installed using my id. This is normal, and the second scenario described on Apple's support web site page for iTunes Match (using different Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes Match). Also, just to note that iTunes Match was enable on the old iPad.
The fact that new iPad is configured for iTunes and App store purchases with my ID, I would think that turning on iTunes Match would be as simple as toggling the switch from off to on. And, at first, it does. I get the usually warning about erasing the iTunes libarary and I click ok. But a few seconds later I get the dreaded Apple ID transfer message for iTunes Match to work, the whole 90 day timer thing, etc. You can either cancel the operation or Transfer. So, my question is as follows:
Why would I need to transfer the device to the iTunes and App purchases Apple ID for the iTunes to work, if it's already configured to use that same id for iTunes? The last thing I want to do is transfer the device (iCloud) Apple ID to mine just to turn on iTunes Match. Makes no sense.
And, just as an fyi, I've check all the limits (10 total computers and ios devices) for iTunes match, and I'm well below that limit. I see no reason why enabling iTunes Match would require me to transfer the entrie device to the iTunes and App associated Apple ID.
Anyway? At least explain to me that if I hit Transfer, all it will do is allow iTunes Match to work and not effect the iCloud Apple ID setup?Stuart Levine wrote:

This is correct. iTunes Match and iCloud are separate services and do not depend on one another. You can have distinct Apple IDs for each one. -
Is it too early for someone to reccomend a build with one of the new Sandy Bridge CPUs?
Hi all I need to build a new PC and was told to wait until the new Sandy Bridge CPUs were out.
This will be my first build but I'll have some help from my brother putting it together.
I'm coming from working in CS3 on Vista 32 and want to build a PC to run Windows7 64 and CS5.
As for a monitor I think I'm going to get a NEC MultiSync EA231WMi 23". The reason being it is a cheap IPS. The only other one I was looking at is a ViewSonic VP2365wb but the NEC has better reviews. If anyone has any other recommendations for an IPS in that price range, I'd be grateful.
For a case I'm going to go with a Silverstone SST-FT02B Fortress or a FRACTAL DEFINE R3.
As for the guts, I'm a little lost.
I was going to get a 60gb SSD to stick the OS on but I see Harm Millaard reccomending a Velociraptor over on this thread. I didn't know what one was but I looked it up and discovered it was a 10,000rpm 300gb hard drive that costs about $280. Is that right? Are there cheaper and smaller versions?
As anyone any reccomendations on what other Hard drives I should get and what RAID I should use? My budget for the whole build is mid range I suppose.
So that brings me to the CPU, GPU and MOBO.
Does anyone know enough about the new Sandybridge CPUs to reccomend one and which motherboard I shoud get? Do I need a seperate GPU still. People are talking about it having an integrated GPU.
I suppose I would like to have 12gb of RAM with an option to upgrade to 24. I initially thought 8gb would suffice but people on here seem to be using 12 or 24.
Thanks for any advice.common sense Harm,
our not oced Sandy bridge ranked 13th beating any stock processor. (for some reason you have it listed as OCed)
remove the absurbly overpriced Xeons that makes it 8th
remove every OCed processor its now #1.
and its #1 without the absurd 8-12 drive raid arrays... which most people have no need for.
for the average user your recommendation like mine was the 950 stock 950 which ranks 40th is severaly beat by the 2600 not oced..
so your replacement recommendation should be as mine is, the 2600 over the 950 all day long..
anything less you are arguing with your own bencmark?
but just for giggles i am having Eric resubmit with an SSD OS and a 8 drive raid the OCed to 4.7GHz system.

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?
The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
I hope that makes sense. -
I used an external hard drive to back up my computer using Time Capsule before I bought a new one. I am slowly transferring information fromt he backup to my new computer and I want to transfer over my old font book. When I go into the Font folder on the hard drive the only fonts that show up are the ones that came stock with the computer not any of the ones I have downloaded over time. Could they be downloaded somewhere else?
The answer to that would probably be "Yes." If you don't remember where your fonts were stored, you may want to search your backups for any of the font files you know the names to. See where that takes you.
Ideally, Font Book and other font managers will temporarily store the fonts you "installed" into the System when you run the OS. When you shut down, etc. they are removed and reloaded on restart. The permanent place fonts reside is where you saved them when or after you downloaded them. I typically create a Resources folder on the root level of the computer and place a Fonts folder there. Then I install fonts from there, and they are available to all users on that iMac.
Perhaps if you did not have that kind of a strategy, perhaps many of them are still in your Downloads folder? -
