Can i insert 8cm dvd discs into my i Mac?

Just wondered as i have a Sony Handycam which records straight onto the small 8cm DVD discs which you can just finalise and play in a normal dvd player straight away. I didnt want to slip it into my new iMac and get it stuck. Also whats the procdure once its in there? Can i just simply copy it to the hard drive and produce a copy? Any help or advice much appreciated.

Hello, Your 24" Mac will eat the disc. If you have an external dvd, use that. Some of the older Macs that have a tray loading dvd will---sometimes be able to. But yours will suck it in and forget to spit it back out!!!!
Try to import it via firewire.
P.S. Questions like this should be posted in the iMac discussion group..
Good Luck

  • Moving video from small dvd discs into macbook

    I have a Sony Handycam with the small non-standard discs. There is no firewire port on the handycam so I cannot transfer my video to my Mac. (only a/v and USB) No one can seem to help me. Help!

    u can't insert small CD's into the mac optical drive. It only takes regular size CD's as you may know.
    Your option - get an external CD/DVD rom - connect via USB port - and off you go. My external DVD ROM takes the smaller size cd's and works great.
    Hope this helps

  • I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac.  I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC.  How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?

    I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
    working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
    someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
    query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
    not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
    working:
    td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
    $row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
    $_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
    Customer</a></td>

  • How can I insert an existing ApDiv into a tab in the Spry Tabbed Panel?

    I have 5 of them all containing nested Apdiv within nested ApDivs (a long storie ) that I would like to insert into 5 tabs in the Spry Tabbed Panel.
    Please help.

    "Hi Gramp,I realize I have made hard work for myself but I really don't know any better. I also realize now that taking on this project may have been a mistake :-)I taught myself how to use the design side of Dream Weaver. These five ApDivs were created in the content area of the spry tool and it worked fine. (yes a lot of work though)For the first time I looked at the code side. I wanted to try to bring a peace of code from another page for something unrelated and when it didn't work I took it out and without noticing, deleting a line from the Spry tool.Of course like a classic newbe I was working without a backup copy so here I am. Loosing hours of tedious work and on the verve of tears :-)I do have some  questions though.  My APDiv
      What does "apDiv1" stands for and what does "My APDiv" stands for?Is the only thing I have to do is changing this line for my five ApDivs and paste it in the appropriate places in the code? Thanks again,Gilaad

    You have really made hard work for yourself by using APDiv's. I suppose it can be done, but I would not. To answer your question, I have create an example as per#apDiv1

  • Can I buy a DVD disc for Lightroom 5 that also includes any upgrades since it came out?

    Can I buy a DVD disc of Lightroom5 that includes any upgrades since it came out?

    The disc will not include all updates that have been released for Lightroom 5. However, after you install from the disk you will be able to update to the latest version. It might be easier to just buy the DVD to get the serial number, and then download and install the latest release from here:
    Product updates
    Each update is a complete replacement of the Lightroom program. So it isn't necessary to install each individual update in order to have everything that is available.

  • HT203176 when i insert a software disc into my mac it will not run, how do i get it to run? thanks

    Please help - when I insert a software disc into my mac it will not run, how do I get it to.
    Thanks

    Then as Kenichi Watanabe has already advised...
    The software disc should appear on the Desktop (or in the sidebar of a Finder window). 
    Double-click the disc icon (or select it in the sidebar). 
    On the disc, there should is often an Installer, or the application itself.

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

  • Can i introduce a mini disc into the cd slot.

    I need to install a router which comes with a mini disc. Will the mini disc work ? can I put the mini disc into the slot? will it get stuck?

    NO you can't use it in the Apple optical SuperDrive and, YES, it would likely get stuck.
    You really need an external drive with a tray, rather than a slot loading optical drive.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • Can I upload my DVD collection into iCloud much like I did with my CD collection?

    Can I upload my DVD collection into iCloud much like I did with my CD collection?

    Hi,
    To add to what Jim said, he is exactly right that there is no way to upload movies to iCloud, that is for music only. However, there are a few third-party programs, Flixster being one of the most popular, that enable you to pay a per-movie fee to upload your movies to what they call Ultraviolet, which you can access from computers and mobile devices. Might be worth checking out anyway.
