Can i do this? digital camcorder to my mac?

hi, hoping someone can help me like before.
I just got a JVC 270 digital camcorder, it was such a good price i didnt want to pass it up, so i didnt get a chance to see if it would work on my computer.
my question is, if my camcorder is not on the list, is there a way that i can save, and watch my movie on my computer?
thank you.

You'll need a 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire cable to connect the camcorder to your Mac.
These cables are also called a 'DV' or 'i.Link' cable, but make sure that it has a teeny 4-pin connector on one end - to plug into the JVC - and a larger 6-pin connector on the other end - to plug into your Mac.
This is NOT the same as a USB cable ..that's just for sending stills to your Mac, or for using a camcorder as a 'webcam'.
So once you get a '4-pin-to-6-pin' DV/FireWire/i.Link cable, you'll be able to connect it to your Mac - with the camera set to 'VCR' mode, not 'Camera' mode - and you can then import your movies into iMovie.

    Yes, that is precisely what iMovie is for, but which camera, what version of iMovie do you have, and what version of OS X?

  • I AM STRUGGLINT TO ACCESS MY IPHOTO'S AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH APPLICATIONS TO ACCESS MY PHOTOS. HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS PLEASE. DOES THE MAC HAVE A DEFRAG?  TX

    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view. What do I have to do to correct this please? Also does the Mac have a defrag function? I have also been advised by the sales person that the Mac does not need an antivirus programme, is this true?

    I'm sorry but your post make no sense
    first off All Caps is not necessary and makes things hard to read and is consider shouting - it is rude
    Second you do not have "an iPhoto" - iPhoto is an application that manages photos - the photos are stored (by default) in the iPhoto library in a SQL lite database and you use the iPhoto program to manage them
    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view.
    can you please explain this in some detail. When you launch iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon in the Dock what happens?
    As to your other OS questions this is certainly not hte best place to address them - we are iPhoto users just like yourself here  ---  basically as I understand it (and I have had had Macs for 30+ years) there is no "defrag and you do not need one - and antivirus is your choice - most people feel it is a waste of money on a Mac but some like to have it

  • I have an Mac OS x 10.4.11 and my Mac always recognizes my iPhone as a Camera, how can i fix this?, I have an Mac OS x 10.4.11 and my Mac always recognizes my iPhone as a Camera, how can i fix this?

    help

    Your computer will always recognise you iPhone somehow.
    regarding iTunes you can plugin the iPhone, select it on the left end side of iTunes and go into the summary pan and you have the option to open or not automatically iTunes.
    Regarding being recognised as a camera, you have an app called image capture, open it and on the bottom left conner you have the option to open iPhoto, image capture or none.
    Hope that helps.
    Now if you cannot sync with iTunes that's another issue.

  • TA21888 No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key how can i fix this problem to may desktop mac?

    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key......thats the words always show every time i start may desktop mac

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Try starting your Mac holding the Option (Alt) key, so you should see all bootable devices on the screen. If you see the OS X volume, select it. After starting, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X volume.
    If you don't see anything, try holding the key after hearing the startup chime. If you still don't see anything, your hard disk could be damaged

  • I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

    I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

    Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
    Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
    Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • AES Digital Audio into a Mac

    I need to input SDI digital video and AES digital audio into a Dual G5 Mac. I see that BlackMagic will do the digital video part for in and out but it seems to only output digital audio. How can I get AES digital audio into the Mac. Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks

    Thanks this is what I was looking for. It looks like I can bring in SDI digital video through the BlackMagic card and AES/EBU digital audio with the Hosa box connected to the digital audio input on the back of the G5.
    Thanks

    You will need to pull all the information off first. The formatting will erase it all.
    Use Disk Utility (in Applications >> Utilities or use Spotlight to find it). On the left select your WD drive and then select the Erase tab. Where it says Format, select exFat in the drop-down menu. Next, click Erase and done. It will take approx. 5-15mins to re-format.
    Cons: You will be unable to store files 4GB or larger in this format (usually only dmg/iso files or large Outlook files). Also, you will be unable to use Time Machine or other auto-backup programs.
    That is not entirely correct, there is no 4G limit using exFat, FAT32 is the one with the limit.

  • I would like to convert my LPs to digital on my new mac book pro with retinal display . How can i do this?

    would like to convert my LPs to digital on my new mac book pro with retinal display
    . How can i do this?

    The new Mac's do not have analog audio in so you will have to go with a USB audio in device or else if you do not yet own a turntable (or are looking to upgrade) you could get a turntable that has USB out.
    The Griffin Technology iMic USB Audio Device is a low cost consumer grade solution if you already have a turntable.
    For recording I use Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder which does a good job and has the ability to run the audio signal through various filters.
