Connecting Sony PC55 to iMac, which cable?

Is this the right cable for connecting the Sony PC55 to the iMac?
FIREWIRE CABLE IEEE iLink 1394 6 - 4 pin DV DIGITAL.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Apple says that virtually all miniDV tape video cams are compatible with iMovie - but you will need to connect via Firewire. USB will not work. You need a Firewire cable which you can get from the standard suppliers like Belkin. I assume you have a late model iMac which has only a Firewire 800 port so make sure you get the proper cable.
Once you have the camera connected to the iMac, start up iMovie, put your camera on play and then most likely the video import screen will show up. If not, then click on the little camera icon on the lower left side of the iMovie window. You should be able to control your camera from the video import screen.

  • Connecting sony camcorder to imac

    Hi, new to imac ( not even 3weeks yet!) loving it, but I now want to move on to do some more stuff- I assume I can connect my old Sony mini DV cam corder to the imac via firewire? the Sony's model is DCR-pc101e it has a small firewire look port under the flap - but what sort of cable do I use to connect the the 2? I'm new to firewire - I'm kinda guessing it's like usb? mini micro standard etc?
    Also, and perhaps more to the point, will the imac recognise the camcorder? or will I need extra software to import video's?

  • Problems connecting sony XR105E to imac

    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!

    HI,
    Check with Sony customer service to make sure Sony supports the Mac OS X.

  • Which cable should use for Sony DV connect to iMac ?

    Which cable should use for Sony DV(IEEE 1394)connect to iMac ?

    If your iMac has just the FireWire 800 connection, you will need the 9 pin to 4 pin cable.

    If your iMac has the FireWire 400 connection, you will need the 6 pin to 4 pin cable.

  • Which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

    which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

    I totally understand.
    Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
    Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
    Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
    I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/search/elite+pro
    You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576  Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
    Quick delivery and willing to help.
    Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
    Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
    All the best

  • HT5299 which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?

    which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?  The port's on the side have changed from my previous Mac.  Thank you.

    If you have a retina MBP use a HDMI to HDMI cable.
    If you have a non retina MBP, use a minidisplay port to HDMI cable.  Insert the minidisplay end in the Thunderbolt port.
    Ciao.

  • Help: Which cable to connect my macbook to my HDTV?

    Hi,
    Perhaps somebody has posted something on that. I bought a Sony 17-inch HDTV and I have a macbook. The Sony TV came with a cable called HD15-H15 video signal cable.
    Should I buy the Mini-DVI to DVI cable? Is there any other cable I should buy? I have read something about the HDMI cable... is that necessary? Isn't it just to connect the Mini-DVI to DVI cable to my HD15-H15 cable?
    Thank you so much!
    MIke

    Hi,
    to clarify... isn't HD15 an analogue connector? Will DVI connector work on a HD15? You see, I have a Samsung "mosel" N7 LCD and it requires HD15 connection and only the mini DVI to VGA converter works, and my Mini DVI to DVI converter does not work apparently. I think it applies to Sony as well, anyone can confirm that?
    Anyway, I find the macbook's display really pales in comparison to the samsung, so much so that now I run my mac on the living room display and using the macbook's display only on the road. Just my 2 cents worth. Once you're on the extended colour gamut of newer generation LCD HDTVs, you won't want the macbook's display anymore, trust me!
    But I still love my macbook, for all that it's worth, it's worth every cent!

  • What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display

    What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display to have two displays?

    It depends on what type(s) of video input you have on your TV. If you've an open HDMI port on your TV, you can use a Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter and it will carry the sound also. See -> here.
    Good luck,

  • Which cable to connect macbook pro to tv

    WHich cable would I need to connect my macbbok pro to my 5 yr old panasonic viera tv - not HD but has HD ports. Hopefully to get audio without extra speakers.

    I suggest a HDMI to HDMI cable since your MBP has a HDMI port.  This would be the simplest option.
    Here is an example (not an endorsement):

  • Can someone please tell me which cable is used to connect a Macbook Pro to a TV.

    I want to connect my laptop to the tv but i don't know which cable is used and where to buy it..

    On my 2011 Macbook Pro (and my sister's) mdp does pass audio.
    I seem to recall that some (older?) mdp-hdmi adaptors wouldn't pass audio. 
    The moshi one I have here passes audio, and another one I have does too -- I think it's made by RocketFish.
    I see that the one at Apple Store is moshi -- it lists the digital audio feature:

    Can you clarify whether you're using a MacBook Pro or a PowerBook?  Your post is ambiguous.  For good measure please tell us when it was purchased new.

    apple tv showing wire to connect to itunes via mini usb cable which i dont have?

    You need to get the cable to restore the ATV to factory settings, following the procedure here.
    USB mini cables are available from many different sources; often even from local stores like CVS or Walgreens. They are inexpensive, as little as a few dollars online & around $5 from some local discount stores.
