Camcorder Panasonic NV GS320 and new I-mac without firewire

Hi, I searched the whole help history, but see that the questions are all from about 2008. I have a panasonic NV GS320 camcorder and just bought a new I-Mac to edit our movies. However, the USB cable only transfers the pictures from camcorder to MAC with I-movie 10,  not the movies. I read on the forum that I need a Firewire, and I have that, but the new I-Mac does not have a firewire entry....Does anyone have a solution? Are there any adapters, new cables (USB3 or sth?)
Thanks!

Hi, a Firewire 400-800 adapter was difficult to come by but the friendly guys from the Mycome shop in my town got me a new firewire 800  and the nice and very patient guy from the apple reseller tested everything for me and...it worked. So did it at home. No problem with the Maverick OS or Imovie 10! Thanks a lot!!!

  • HT1420 I got rid of my old Gateway desk top and bought a MAC. I'd like to deauthorize the Gateway and add the MAC without deauthorizing my other shared computers. How do I do this?

    I got rid of my old Gateway desk top and bought a Mac. I'd like to deauthorize the Gateway and add the Mac without deauthorizing my other computers.

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, so if you no longer have the old desktop the only way to deauthorise it is to log into your account on your computer's iTunes and 'deauthorise all', and then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need.

  • Ipod and new mini mac

    I just got a new Mini Mac (intel) and want to upload my iPod to my new computer, the old one died:-( what's a easy (if there is) way? of course with i tunes.
    thanks

    Do you mean as in copying all of your music off of your iPod and onto the Mini? You'll need to buy special software to do that I think. Haven't had any experience myself (yet), but that's my understanding of it. Either that or you could try turning on disc mode and drag and drop your files that way, but again, haven't personally tried it (yet).

  • Old i book and new i mac

    Hello
    I have a new i mac with leopard on it but want to get an old i book for going to college to do typing spreadsheets etc and then put it all on the i mac when i get home. Are there any communication problems between new and old. Will an old pages programme work with the new one?
    Stuart

    +Will an old pages programme work with the new one?+
    It should, since I'm told that even ancient AppleWorks works with Leopard. I know that AppleWorks works with my MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo running Tiger.
    We don't get a lot of questions about Pages in this forum. You may want to ask in the older Pages forum to double-check and be certain.

  • JUST Bought  MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.16 Intel Core Duo and NEW to MAC's.

    Like the title says I just bought a MacBook Pro and I have NEVER used Mac's in my entire life. I have always been using Windows ever since I was born. But I am heading to college and wanted a change. I was wondering if there is any quick tips or things to know about my MacBook Pro before I get it in the mail? Especially because I've been a Windows person my whole life. Also, I feel like I should have bought the Mac right before I leave for college but that's the end of August and I needed to buy this before I headed to college to test it out. I just don't want to get it and then a newer MacBook comes out. I know that no one knows for sure but do you think that will happen?

    Welcome. It will be easier to answer if you say something about what you're interested in and how you might want to use the computer. There are things I do with every new Mac, but they probably wouldn't interest most people. (E.g. I go into the preferences/keyboard/modifiers and turn caps lock into control. I'm an old-time Unix guy who spends a lot of time at the command line.)
    Some specific advice on taking a machine to college. This advice all applies to Macs and PCs
    * make sure you have a scheme for backing up your data. I recommend using a Firewire disk. There are lots of ways to do the backup. You'll see plenty of discussions in these groups. If you don't want to buy a Firewire disk you can use other media, but generally those aren't big enough or fast enough to let you do a full backup of your machine. You'll need to locate the folders where you save files and backup just those. WIth the Mac you can do bootable backups. If you lose your disk you can actually boot off the Firewire disk and run that way until you get your disk fixed. Note that this works with Firewire but not USB. Despite the advertising, you really want to use Firewire for external disks, not USB 2.
    * if you haven't done so already, get Applecare. Portables are much more likely to need repair. If you don't have Applecare the repairs can be quite expensive. Apple has pretty good service.
    * make sure you bring all your distribution CDs and DVDs with you. If things go very wrong you may have to reinstall, and you'll need the media with you. (Actually this advice applies more to PCs, where you have to reinstall to recover from a variety of problems. That's less common on Macs, and if you do have to there's a neat procedure -- archive and install -- to preserve your data during a reinstall.)
    * make sure you have enough memory. With your machine I recommend at least 1 GB. the default of 512 MB tends to lead to a sluggish machine.
    * make sure you understand the security features of OS X. Turn on the firewall. Be careful about opening attachments and browsing to questionable sites. University networks tend to see a lot more security problems than a typical home environment, though home broadband connections are pretty dangerous these days as well.
    * check out your school's acceptable use policy and network access policies.
    * depending upon your discipline I might recommend installing either Boot Camp or Parallels and then installing either Windows or Linux as a secondary OS. Anyone who is serious about learning computer technology should run Linux (thought not necessarily as the primary OS).
    There will always be newer models. A 2.16 GHz Core Duo should be fine for several years. Not necessarily all 4 years though. That's pushing it, particularly with a portable.

  • Fiery 250 driver and new Intel Mac

    I recently installed a new Intel iMac in my office and hooked it up to our Xerox printer via our Fiery 250 RIP. Bad news--the driver does not work with the Intel Mac. I had a Xerox tech come and try to troubleshoot it for a few hours, went under the hood to try and resolve the issue...nothing. Next step is he is going to have to contact Fiery. Anyone else have any experience with an Intel Mac and getting the driver to work on Fiery? Very inconvenient.

    i can give you a tip.
    download the ppd from the support page.
    install it via tcpip and select the ppd.
    it will work to print, but no special features then.

    Hi All...just bought our first ever mac (always used pcs). Is there anything I should do/update before using it the first time? thanks.

    Welcome to Mac's
    It's worth checking Software Update (in System Preferences) to make sure you have the latest OS and software versions installed, there's also an SMC and Firmware update for MacBook Pro's that won't show up in there. They may say you don't need to apply them, but best to check. SMC Update and Firmware Update

  • AJA lola and new Power Mac crash at log and capture

    I've been using a power book with an AJA lola to capture and print to a betacam sp UVW1800 for a couple of year now and so far so good, but yesterday went and bought a Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and installed the new AJA drivers and now when I want to capture and digitize it would crash every time, I have my set ups at 10 bit uncompress (same at before) but it won't work, and with the old drives it can't detect the deck, I have tested every connection and cables and all is fine, seems like a matter of compatibility? maybe? Any one has had a experience like this?

    This kind of behavior can be the result of bad housekeeping (at least in my experience.) 
    Start by repairing your permissions, then retry. Trashing your prefs is next, then run Disk Warrior. If none of that works, you may have a hardware problem with the deck.
    It's not much, but I hope it helps...

  • I am trying to get my older mac book connected to my new desktop Mac via firewire so I can transfer pics and it is not working. It is showing me that the firewire is connected by neither computer can see each other? Thoughts?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    How about some details on the older Mac if we are to help you?

  • Moving to a new (shared) Mac without losing my songs

    Been reading the support pages & I think I have this straight but I want to ask here just to be sure before I do it. Here's my story:
    I'm going to be ditching my old iMac and start sharing my soon-to-be wife's eMac. Her eMac already has an iPod associated with it. I'm not worried so much about the music on my iMac (don't even plan on moving it to the new eMac) but I want to be sure I don't lose the music already on my iPod.
    Now here's my plan: I intend to set up my own user account on her eMac. I'll authorize iTunes under that account my with my old Apple Store ID (and deauthorize my iMac). Then I'll set the prefs in iTunes to manually update my iPod. Now, here's the question: will my iPod get wiped when I plug it in to the eMac? Or will it recognize that copy of iTunes as being authorized under my login & leave my iPod untouched?
    I hope I've explained the situation well enough. I'll clarify any rough points if it will help me be certain before I do this. And thanks in advance for your collective brain power!

    In my experience you are doing the right thing by setting up a new user and having your ipod set to manual update... makes life easier!.. but even without that if you have your ipod set to automatic update I believe you can still link up to another computer without loosing your tunes as long as you check the right boxes when connecting...
    If your set to manual update then you should have no problems. I've just linked my ipod (set to manual) to another machine without any problems no boxes to check no fear of loosing my songs!
    If it's set to automatic syncing then you'll get asked a question like do you want to join the existing libarary or something.... basically check the appropraite option (double check before clicking!).
    Basically all you are doing will be fine!

  • Why does my Safari browser keep having pop-ups and new windows open without permission?

    Whenever I click on a button to go to another page or something, a new tab with a new website opens up. When I search on Google, there are all kinds of ads and pop-ups on there. I really know nothing about Internet security, so I do not know what is wrong.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How  to start in TDM or transfer data from an older Mac without FireWire??

    For the MacBooks that don't have FireWire, how do you transfer data from another Mac since you can't start in Target Disk Mode?
    Similarly, with a FireWire Mac, if I need to do some disk repair, I can start in TDM and run Disk Utility's Repair Disk or rebuild the directory with Disk Warrior. What do you do with these non-FireWire Macs?
    (What is Apple thinking by removing FireWire???)
    Chris

    For the MacBooks that don't have FireWire, how do you transfer data from another Mac since you can't start in Target Disk Mode?
    I would still use Firewire.
    The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
    You 'can' use USB or Ethernet, but it's not as reliable as Firewire.
    Firewire is "isochronous", basically meaning that you can pump "clocked" data though it in real time. USB works more like TCPIP, with the data chopped up into packets and later reassembled. (Thus, at a minimum, you have latency, that is, the wait for the data to be "put back together".) Second, the Firewire protocol allows more direct address to memory (including mass storage) with minimal intervention of the CPU.
    Putting the drive in a external Firewire enclosure is a bit more work, but nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches. Firewire is rock-solid.
