DV into new iMacs

I want to get a new iMac 21.5" because it is time to upgrade AND because I want to run FCX.
I do a lot of video work and I need to be able to take people's old DV tapes, put them into a DV camera and contact that camera via a Firewire port. Not sure what they're called but it is the old Firewire ports.
How might I be able to do this? Is there a hub that would allow this happen?
Evan Jacobs

You might want to do a bit of searching/reading on this forum as there were some problems with FCPX and DV tape cameras.
As I recall, video was recorded but no sound, the other was incomplete recordings, recording would stop after a few minutes. Don't know if the update changed anything.

  • Firwire cable not fitting into new imac 24"!

    My imac 24" has just arrived...
    I bought a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable to migrate my stuff from my G4.
    The cable fits into the G4 but not the imac 24"!!!!
    What am i doing wrong?
    Also,can i migrate stuff later after playing around withthe new imac?
    thanks in advance!

    So is it too late to use the firewire to migrate my stuff?
    The only things i definatley will migrate will be documents,photos and itunes library.
    No, it's not too late. You can still connect the two systems via Firewire Target Disk Mode and use the Migration Assistant (in your iMac's Applications -> Utilities folder) to bring over all your documents. Or you can just drag them over manually.
    I don't recommend migrating applications from a PowerPC-based Mac to an Intel-based one. It's rare, but sometimes it has happened that the Migration Assistant overwrites a previouly-installed Intel-native app with the PowerPC-based one. I don't think Migration Assistant will copy all the extra folders for Adobe's apps anyway, though I could be wrong. I'd suggest just reinstalling Photoshop and Word on the new system.

  • Apogee duet 2007 can't be loaded into new imac

    just got new imac and upgraded to logic 9. trying to set apogee duet, prompt says it's too old for snow leopard. went to apogee site and downloaded new driver but still won't work. running apogee through firewire 400 into Glyph hard drive in order to get to imac. not sure if that's the problem or what. any help is greatly appreciated

    Running through the glyph should not be an issue, but check and then download the software again from Apogee - just check you have the correct one. Note: you don't download a driver - there is no driver for the duet; you download new Maestro software - this works directly with core audio on the Mac which is why it integrates so neatly. Worth a try (when does the message appear and what does it say exactly?).

  • Old hard drive into new iMac

    My old iMac (G5, no iSight) recently died. Of course, it had been a long time since I had backed up any of my data. The genius at the Apple store looked at it and said the motherboard burned out, but the hard drive was probably still good. While there I purchased a new iMac (iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" display).
    My question is... What is the simplest way, if any, to transfer data from my old hard drive onto my new iMac? The genius told me there was something I could buy to turn it into an external hard drive with a USB or Firewire connection, but he did not know the specifics.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!
    JCG

    Hi JCG
    Stuffing the old HD in an External Drive Enclosure is probably the best way to go, because you have a choice of USB/400/800 combination's and it protects the drive. A slightly less expensive NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter could also be used to transfer data between the old drive and new iMac.

  • Importing purchased iTunes into new iMac home computer

    My son had a lot of purchased iTunes songs and videos on his iTouch. We recently moved and are now using a new iMac. His purchases were through our iTunes account, and the iTunes library that he was syncing with was on a laptop that we no longer have. How can I get access to those purchased iTunes songs and videos so I can transfer them into my new iMac?

    When I called and spoke to an Apple service technician he told me that there is one re-grant per account per lifetime.
    Apple is usually pretty good about it but it's the exception and not the rule. The -> iTunes Store Terms of Service specifically states...
    "10. Purchase or Rental of Apple Content
    a. Products Requirements. You acknowledge that use of Products may require the use of other hardware and software products (e.g., the ability to make copies of Products on physical media and render performance of Products on authorized digital player devices), and that such hardware and software is your responsibility. Products may only be downloaded once; after being downloaded, they cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. Once a Product is purchased or rented (as applicable) and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
    We would like to request this one-time "re-grant"
    Then send an email to the link that Niel posted above but don't look for something about a one-time "re-grant".
    Explain what happened and that you did not have your items backed up.
    Then make sure you backup the items after you downlaod them.

  • Old imac hard drive crashed... how to put ipod tunes into new imac's itunes

    I'm sure this is something that's been revisited a number of times already... My "old" imac (2 years old -- yes I'm ****** but let's not go there) hard drive ceased living. I literally lost everything (had all data backed up, whew!).
    Anyway, how can I put my itunes library, which is on my ipod, onto my new itunes on my new imac?
    Thanks in advance for your help, Craig

    You can't do this using regular Apple software (it's designed to work in one direction only). However if you Google "transfer from ipod to itunes" several helpful links come up with utilities you can download to do this.
    But if you have protected music on your iPod, do remember to "authorise"" your new HD first.

  • 4-Pin to 6-Pin Firewire cable into new iMacs?

  • Can't find how to get iPad Contacts into new iMac Address Book

    I've got a brand new iMac and if I look in the import feature of Address Book it wants to import from a file on my iMac but there's no iPad listed there even though it's plugged in. iTunes only seems to sync first time from iMac to iPad but all my contact details are on the iPad. Surely there is there some way to migrate my iPad Contacts to my iMac address book isn't there?

    Data to and from your iPad is managed via iTunes. With your iPad connected to your iMac, open iTunes and then select the Info Pane. There you can choose to sync data. I would advise that you first right click on the name of your iPad in the iTunes Devices list and choose BackUp. Just in case anything goes funky!
    From the iPad 2 manual:
    Info Pane
    The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
    • Contacts
    You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
    If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

  • Installing iWork into new iMac.

    Software ask for me to login with administrates name and password. The computer was set up by Apple Techs after a purchased. They must have put in this info to do the transfer of info from my old computer.
    Is there a standard code and password. Seems they would have told me this info. I cannot install my iWork software!

    If the Apple techs can't help (although they should be able to), try the first or last procedure mentioned in Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.

  • How to transfer data off HD of old iMac running OS 10.5.8 onto new iMac running yosemite

    my older brother's 24" iMac  running Leopard 10.5.8  is having issues and shuts itself off without notice so we got him a new 27" iMac off the apple website. 
    We also bought the Apple Extended warranty due to his & my computer skills are limited plus he lives in another state  for a quick drop by to help with my limited skills as well. 
    His local non apple tech person thinks the old iMac probably has an issue with Mother board causing computer to shut itself down and suggested  replacing old mac  with a newer one which we did.  
    I was visiting my older brother who lives out of state a couple weeks ago when the new iMac arrived so I tried to transfer data off old HD to new iMac via USB cable but got error message saying the old iMac also had to be running OS Yosemite!   
    Due to how far back his old iMac OS version is, and not knowing where / how to get the newer  OS disks needed what are his options to get data from Old iMac to new iMac? 
    Also, his old iMac shut down again and he has not been able to get the old mac to start back up so upgrading OS's does not seem to be an option now. 
    Before his mac shut down, my brother  thinks someone told him that if he had iCloud set up his data could transfer via iCloud?   I have no idea if that is correct nor how to set that up.
    if i remember correctly when i was there a couple weeks ago when the old iMac was running during the process of trying to transfer data I think the new computer  also gave another option on how to transfer-migrate data but I don't' remember what that was?
    DUE to the old imac may not start up again, can't he have the old iMac HD removed and put into an external case and plug it into new iMac as and external HD & then take files off for use on the new iMac?
    any and all suggestions / help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bob

    Neil
    Thanks  that was very helpful for transferring files and looks like it solves the problem with not having to update the Operating Systems to Yosemite.  
    I forgot to ask about how does one transfer actual Programs like MS Office for example from  the old drive? 
    Transferring files using the drag and drop process is simple enough but don't actual Programs like MS Office have a much more complicated/larger data package that may be located in various places on the old HD versus files are much smaller and are in one place?  
    If I remember right when i got a new iMac a few years ago, my old mac was still working so i was able to use a cable to transfer data & programs off it to newer iMac and  ALL of the Programs like Office etc. transferred over including user accounts etc.?  I may be wrong as its been a few years?
    Again  Any help & or suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Just Got A New iMac, Can I Get Music Off My iPhone To Put Into iTunes?

    I just purchased a new iMac today and I have all my music on my other iMac.
    I used to plug my iPod into the new computers I got and copy the songs onto it.
    But my iPod got stolen.
    I was wondering if I could do the same thing with my iPhone.
    Is there a program that is compatible with the iPhone that allows you to take the music from it and copy it onto a computer?
    Thanks,

  • I copied all of my CD's onto my iMac's hard drive. Now I'd like to buy a new iMac and am wondering how to transfer the music I have loaded on  my iMac from CD's on to my new computer w/o  going through the process of loading them into my iTunes Library.

    I have copied all of my CD's, probably over 100, on to my iMac, through iTunes and now am considering buying a new iMac. Would like to be able to transfer what's in my music library w/o having to recopy all of the CD's. Any thoughts? Can I do it throught the iCloud or do I need to buy and external storage device?
    Thanks Brenda

    When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
        With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
        If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
        Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

  • When I start up my new Imac with my password, it works but after going into sleepmode, I can't go out of the sleep moed with this password

    I did the configuration of my new Imac and entered and confirmed my password when asked.
    When my computer is switched of, I can startup with this password but after going into sleepmode, this password doesn't work.
    The same when I go to "system preferences" users & groups, it's not possible to unlock the lock with this password
    I'm sure that I never used another password.

    If Apple was the one that replaced the ribbon cable, return it. If not, run AHT (Apple Hardware Test).
    Using Apple Hardware Test to troubleshoot a hardware problem
    Your issues might be caused by a hardware problem. Running Apple Hardware Test can help you solve this problem by showing you the faulty hardware.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the D key on the keyboard before the grey starting screen appears.
    Continue to hold the D key until the loading screen shows up. You should see a globe.
