Connecting Camcorder to iBook

I just recently bought a Sony HandyCam and would like to connect it to my computer (as it uses the MiniDV disks that can't be inserted into the DVD drive). I was wondering if there is a way to connect my camcorder to my computer, possibly with a firewire or USB cable of sort. I have the AV connector for the Camcorder, so maybe there is a cable that allows for AV connection into firewire/USB? If anyone has any ideas, could you let me know? Thanks so much!

If your Sony camera has a iLink (Firewire) connection, you only need a 6 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable.

  • Cannot Connect to the iBooks Store

    When I open the iBooks store in Mavericks I get "Cannot Connect to the iBooks Store". Also, in Safari anything it cannot connect to anything that uses HTTPS (secure/encrypted connection) such as Twitter. However I do not know if that persisted from Mountain Lion, as I use Firefox. It is solely with my computer, the other mac on Mavericks connects just fine. However, here's where it gets strange. My iPhone, which I have my keychain synced to, does not have a problem. Additionally, the iTunes Store on iTunes can connect to the books section. I've tried going through my certificates and resetting them to Use System Default, using First Aid, changing my MTU in Network Preferences to 1300, and fixing disk permissions, but none of that worked. I have no proxies and no DNS servers.
    I'm getting this error in this console whenever I open iBooks: NSURLConnection/CFURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9813).

    I have exactly the same issue as describet by "bengersfoo", i.e.
    "I can find exactly the certificate that pavelfrompraha mentions, and it is set to "Always Trust".
    But I cannot reem to reset it to System Defaults. When I choose that option it has always reverted to "Always Trust" whenever I check again."
    It would be very helpful if someone could please explain how to make the "System Defaults" setting stick.

  • Imac 24" connecting to a ibook

    hey,
    i was thinking of getting a imac 24". would the built-in airport let me share my internet connection to my ibook g3 if i plug my broadband into the imac?
    thanks,
    JC

    You can use Mac OS X 10.3 with this feature, and the iBook will pick up the signal if the computers are within range and there aren't any nearby sources of interference.

  • Connecting & Using G3 iBook With MacBook Pro

    I am planning to buy a MacBookPro shortly when I am in the States. Will I be able to connect to my iBook G3 on 10.3.9 (640mb) both to transfer files and to use the iBook as an external hard-drive (bootable)?
    If so, do I need anything more than the connecting cable and maybe some software like SuperDuper?
    Again, the question that is probably unanswerable -- can I buy a refurbished MacBook Pro or are they just recycled lemons? My wallet needs the price tag, my head doesn't need more problems.

    You'll be able to connect your iBook although it will NOT be bootable. The Mac OS X version on Intel systems is different to that of the PowerPC systems.

    my iBooks application will not connect to the iBooks store

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
    In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
              File ▹ Add Keychain
    from the menu bar and add the following items:
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain

    Save the change in the same way as before.
    Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.

  • I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon i immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store'. My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata

    I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon I immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store. Check your internet connection, then try again.' My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata.

    When you are having problems with a site - consider weather between you and it and amount of traffic (time of day).
    Bad weather can cause problems with a connection as it travels on the information highway - hazard a guess all traffic that went through Buffalo is being routed elsewhere.   
    Bad weather can slow down handshake etc to the point of requiring too many resends - so Ibook is timing you out.

  • Connecting Camcorder

    I recently got a Sony Handycam Mini DVC (Digital Video Cassette) Camcorder. I was wondering if anyone knew of a cable that would connect to my computer (iBook G4) so I can use the footage in iDVD and iMovie. I already have a firewire cable which does connect to both my camera and computer but there seems to be no activity between the two.
    Anyone help me, would be very much appreciated

    You should only need a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable. Sony calls FireWire "i.LINK"

  • Re: How to connect camcorder to my Satellite L300-1AD?

    Hi everyone
    I hope someone out there can help me - my problem is driving me mad!!
    I have a Satellite L300 1AD(?) laptop and I am trying to connect my camcorder to it so that I can watch and edit my holiday videos. Apparently I can't use a USB cable and need an "i link" cable or firewire cable. However, I can't find where to connect it onto the PC. Also there are so many different "pin" variations.
    Am I able to do this at all? I know I am female but I consider myself to be quite good usually at things like this. If you need anymore info please let me know.
    Please help - I am getting desperate?? I want to see the koalas and kangaroos in Oz!!
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hello
    Your notebook model is not known to me but if your notebook doesnt have firewire port (i-LINK) you must use expresscard solution.
    It is something like cards shown on http://www.synchrotech.com/products-expc/expresscard-firewire_00.html
    Talk with your local dealer. Explain exactly what you want to do and I hope he can helps you.

  • How do I Connect both an iBook and Power Mac G5 to Windows XP Pro network?

    I have an existing Windows network at home, with a Motorola Surfborad Cable Modem, Linksys Wired Cable/DSL VPN Router with 5-port 10/100 switch (BEFVP41), Linksys Wireless G Access Point (WAP54G), Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Workgroup Switches (EZXS55W v3) and several connected devices including: two Windows Desktops (wired), a Humax TiVo (wireless), Two (2) SlimDevice Squeezeboxes (wireless), and a Microsoft X-Box game system.
    For some reason, I cannot successfully connect either a Power Mac G5 (wired) or an iBook (wireless) to the newtork and internet. In both cases, if I attempt to connect them, the router does appear to see them, but I can't get connection to the Internet.
    Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
    I have disconnected all the other connected devices and tried to connect them with no results.
    Re-starting the cable modem, router or WAP didn't help.
    If I connect one of the Windows PC's to the same cable I have tried unsuccessfully with the Power Mac, The Windows PC connects to both the Network and Internet immediately!
    Additionally, I have checked out the entire wiring system, which are Cat5E cables. This included re-checking all connectors and testing each wire run. All cables are "straight through" with no opens, shorts or cross0overs.
    I am sure that I am doing something wrong and that there is an "easy fix", but it's beyond my meager knowledge.
    If someone can supply me with "Step by Step", detailed instructions on how to accomplish this, please help me.

    Hi Gordy,
    Well, that's certainly some setup you've got there.
    Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
    I'm not sure about those URL's. Plug your PowerMac into the router , then launch Safari and type 192.168.1.100 in the address bar it should allow you to access the routers settings via the web-based utility. Please check and see if that much that works and post back.

  • Connect camcorder drivers for a Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi8 Camcorder for Windows 8.1. How do I SOLVE? New camcorder?

    There are no drivers for a Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi8 Camcorder for Windows 8.1.  How can I solve this problem?  Do I need to buy a newer or different model that plays video8 and videoHi8 tapes that IS compatible?  Its a shame because I searched for months for the power cord and bought connecting cords for USB and the old fashion three RCA plugs for a VHS VCR and now I cant use them.

    Dear Comrade VideoGeek, Yes, I am extremely frustrated, and you have my sincere apology if I was rude to you.  I should have known better than to say unwise and unkind things to you.  My bad entirely.  Sorry!! The things you don't know are that Windows 8.1 does not under ANY circumstances acceps USB video streaming.  Not from my camera and not from Dazzle or ANY other device or cable.  That is written into STONE by Microsoft.  Can't do nothing about it.  That's a barrier that cannot be broken or worked around. The other thiing you don't know is that I do not have RCA outlets on my camera.  I bought it assuming it must have as most devices until then did and got it home in 2001 or whenever and found to my great dismay that it ONLY has a USB output.  Not multicolored RCA jacks of any kind.  That is also a barrier that I cannot break unless I buy a used camera that takes my tapes and DOES have RCA outputs.  My bad.  I should have returned it immediately at the time, unfortunately I was too ill at the time to do so. I know you were only trying to help.  I'm sorry if I was snippy with you.  You were extremely kind to try to help.  And I appreciate you.  Hopefully other people will see your answers and they will help them. Meanwhile, I'm banging my head against the Apple walls trying to find out which product of theirs MAY be able to work for me and which is the best solution for me all around and that too is a nightmare. Thank YOU for being so kind!!  And for respoding  with kindness.

  • What cable should I use to connect an old iBook G4 to a MacBook Pro in order to transfer files?

    I'd like to transfer files from the iBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro.  However, I'm not a "pro" at using a computer and I'm not even sure what cable to use to connect the two laptops.  I welcome your suggestions!

    The Y is FireWire and the MBP has a FW800 port. On the iBook you should find a FW400 port shaped like an arrow (see below, left pic). So for speediest transfer, you need a Firewire 400 to Firewire800 cable that will allow you to plug both Macs together (right pic).
    Once you have gotten that, place the IBook in Target Disk Mode (see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 ) and connect both with the cable. The iBook's hard disk drive will appear on the MacBook's desktop. You can either drag stuff across or use the Migration Assistant found in Utilities to ensure applications get transferred correctly.

  • Connecting camcorder to macbook pro

    aahhh
    how do i connect my sony Hi8 to my macbook pro for editing?

    I'm afraid I don't have time to check out Apple's online store and recommend camera for you. But, I can guide you to this page which outlines the formats supported by iMovie:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/features/formats.html
    The vast majority of digital camcorders will be supported by iMovie. Generally, any camcorder that uses "DV" format or "MiniDV" will work with iMovie. iMovie also supports HD and MPEG4.
    There are some popular camcorders you want to avoid: Don't get a Sony "MicroMV" format camcorder. Don't buy a camcorder that records to optical disc.
    Once you have selected a camcorder, it's a good idea to go the iMovie forum and search the forum for any comments (positive or negative) regarding that model. It's also wise to search the web for reviews prior to buying. Often you will find comments from Mac users regarding compatibility.

  • Connecting camcorder to Mac

    I want to copy over the video on my camcorder to my mac.
    The manual does not give information on how copy this over to a computer. But it does give info on how to copy it to a VCR.
    The instructions say to connect with a with two a cables, a S-video (S-150) and a Stereo Video (STV-250N) for audio.
    I have a iMac G5 running Mac OS X 10.3.9
    Here are some of the ports:
    USB
    Firewire
    Line in/optical in
    Projector port?
    My question:
    1. Is there an adapter cable that can connect the S-video & audio cables to the Mac?
    2. Once connect, will the Mac reconginze the input or do I need additional software? Currently all I have is iDVD. I'm not able to spend alot of money.
    Please help.

    I just finished importing the film into iMovie.
    Man, this is great. I tried this about a year ago and gave up on it because the manual was so funky. There is nothing in it mentioning firewire. And the only thing I knew about firewire was the shape of the port on the back of my mac. The only info it gave on connecting the camcorder to a computer was for to copy the snap shots on the memory card over usb. You guys made short work of my year long problem.
    Thank you.

    no, there are no workarounds. you have to use it at supported resolution or get another monitor.
