Can't connect sony xr105e handycam

Hi all, I've just purchased an imac 21.5" i3 with the hope of using it for basic camcorder footage but it does not seem to register when i connect the camera via a usb port.
I've read that the camcorder may not be compatible due to the AVCHD encoding/formating? sony use?
My computing knowledge/skills are basic at best so i'm hoping someone can HELP!

You should re-post this question in the Intel-based iMac Expansion Forum. This Forum deals with usage issues related to the 9-12 year-old iMacs.

Can´t connect sony camera to final cut pro

Hi.
I have a Sony Full HD camera model HDR - HC7 (PAL). I´ve been trying to connect it to final cut pro HD but it doesn´t recognize the camera. Already tried a new cable, already connected and disconected, but still the same
Is there anything I can do?
I appreciate your suggestions and answers.

run the system profiler and make sure the computer is seeing the camera.
I don't know the camera, but is it possible that it needs to be in some sort of vcr mode or perhaps needs a menu setting adjusted.

Wi-Fi, depending on which 802.11 specification is in question (-, a, b, g, n) works at either 2.4GHz, 3.7GHz (US only) or 5GHZ:

Can`t connect Sony TRV530 to MacBook Pro

I just purchased a MacBook Pro and trying to transfer videos from a Sony TRV530 Camcorder. The camera does not show up in iMovie `11 (9.0.8) from the Import window. I have a Firewire 4 pin (camera) to 9 pin (MAC) cable for this use.
The 13" MacBook Pro has a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 and is running OS 10.8.2.
System information show the following with respect to the Firewire connections:
Bus FireWire :
Attention: Impossible de répertorier les périphériques FireWire.
Vitesse maximale: Jusqu’à 800 Mb/s
And the console shows the following logs:
2012-12-20 15:19:01,000 kernel[0]: FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in: no valid selfIDs for more than 3 minutes after bus reset.
2012-12-20 15:19:21,000 kernel[0]: Missing self ID for node 0!
I have no problem connecting the camera to a PC running windows XP with a Firewire cable. Note, it is not the same cable. In this case, the cable is 4 pin (camera) to 6 pin (PC).
Saw similar posting on this, but they did not resolve my issues.
Thanks

Is camera plugged in to AC power? Batteries only will not work.

Can't connect Sony TRV900

For several years I have often used my Sony TRV900 miniDV camera to capture video onto my hard drive using FCP. Occasionally FCP would not recognize the device, but I was always able to resolve the problem. Now, however, I am completely unable to get the camera recognized by FCP, iMovie or even the System Profiler. The specs:
Sony DCR-TRV900 miniDV camera
PowerMacG4 1GB dual processor
OS 10.4.11
FCP 4.5
Firewire 400
I tried all of the following without any success:
Replacing the firewire cable
Moving the camera closer to the computer
Removing external hard drive from second firewire port
Switching firewire port
Trashing all FCP preferences
Deleting all Quicktime receipts with model number and reinstalling Quicktime 7.6
Changing the order in which I turn on computer and camera and launch software
Looking for a four-leaf clover

Kicking a door
Any new advice appreciated.

Hi
Having a TRV-900E - I ended up in same situation - Let's hope You has not.
I connected the 6-pin end 180 deg wrong to the back of my Mac-Pro.
Result.
Burned A/D chip in Camera.
after - Camera could be maneuvered from Mac but no Import or Export.
Camera recorded on tape OK
Camera Play-backed to TV (analog) OK
Medicine - RepairShop - Expencive.
Test Your Camera on another Mac
Test FW-Cable with other Camera
Test other FW-Cable
*Else read my unsorted thoughts.*
MOST COMMON ORIGIN => Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ?
HOW MUCH ?
(Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

Can't connect Sony DCR-TRV38 to iMac

This is an older Mini DV camcorder that I am trying to connect by USB. iMovie doesn't recognize it at all. I don't have a firewire and don't know whether a standard one (from Best Buy eg) would work on this camera - i.e., is the connector the same? Can't find much about this specific model on the web. Any advice? I'd really like to transfer my old home movies onto iMovie for editing now that I have the time. Any and all advice is most welcome. Thank you.

You need a firewire cable. If your iMac has Firewire 800, get a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable. If your iMac has Firewire 400, get a 4 pin to 6 pin firewire cable. Your camera must be plugged into a wall outlet (not on batteries.)

Can't connect Sony DVCAM to FCE on MacBook Pro

I've done everything the manual suggests but still I can't see my footage in the FCE window when the deck is playing. Any suggestions?

Hello and welcome to the forum.
You give us so little information that it's hard to guess what the problem might be. In the following, I assume you're shooting standard definition footage on mini-dv tape.
Make sure you have:
Turned on the camera in playback mode and connected via firewire before launching FCE.
Selected the proper Easy Setup for the footage you've shot.
Opened the Capture window.
If the above doesn't help, we'll need more info:
What version of Mac OS?
What version of QuickTime?
What version of FCE?
What's the camera?
In what format are you shooting?
Are there any external drives? How are they connected?
Is anything else connected to your Mac? What and how?

Hi, I just got an Apple Thunderbolt Display. How can I connect it to my sony vaio pc? Thanks

Hi, I just got an Apple Thunderbolt Display. How can I connect it to my sony vaio pc? At Apple Store they gave me a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter, but monitor doesnt display any image. Thanks for your help!

no, your computer needs to have thunderbolt technology. does it?
if not, no adapter can make a thunderbolt display work on a non-thunderbolt computer.
someone was likely confused since miniDP will FIT into a TB socket but is only compatible one way, ie a mDP display can work on a TB machine, but a TB display cannot work on a mDP machine

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

Sony Ericsson W810i and iSync 2.4: "can not connect to this device"

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, which I believe are the most up to date versions. My Sony Ericsson W810i is shown as being compatible with iSync as shown on the iSync support page, but while I try to add the phone to it I get the message:
"W810i
iSync can not connect to this device".
Does anybody have any ideas how to sort this problem? I've tried restarting both my computer and phone before trying again.

I finally figured out how to fix this problem. The mobile phone had to be initially added by the computer under Bluetooth to pair them before adding the device to iSync. Adding the computer as a device to the phone to pair them, as I had been doing, didn't allow it to work with iSync.

HT5299 can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

You can connect the TV via the Thunderbolt port. However if the result is "better resolution" would depend on what resolution you have now (I'm guessing you mean with the HDMI adapter?)
I'm myself connecting the Mini Mac with a Thunderbolt->VGA adapter to my TV and get full 1920x1080 resolution.
Have you checked your Display settings? Make sure mirroring is off, then check what resolutions you can get on the current connection.
Please return with some more data.
