Help with connecting camcorder to MBP

Hopefully, someone can help me
i would like to video tape some games of the team i coach, download them to my MBP and then edit them and show them on a tv through my MBP.
My question(s) are these:
What do i need to hook up the camcorder to the mbp to download the games
and what do i need to hook up the MBP to a tv to show the videos?
thanks in advance!

acrahm,
Hmmm, you don't have all the info you need yet, so I'll chime in:
First, you need a camcorder with a Firewire interface. Most DV camcorders do have this; Sony calls it "iLink." Also, your best option is a camcorder that records directly to DV tape, not a direct-to-DVD or hard drive camcorder.
You would then import your video from the camera into iMovie. Once the camera is connected and iMovie is open, you can control the camera (in most cases) right in iMovie. iMovie would then be used to make any/all edits, add transitions if needed, etc.
You can play the edited movie on your computer, and have it connected to an external monitor or TV, or you could burn the movie to a video DVD and play it in a standard DVD player. Another option for playing from the computer is to export to Quicktime, but the end result wouldn't be any different than using iMovie.
If the footage in question is Hi-Def footage, all the same things regarding camcorders hold true. iMovie can handle this footage just as well, but (of course) it requires much more disk space. If this is the case, you might consider exporting the edited footage back to the camera, and connecting that to the TV. BTW, this is a viable option with standard def footage, too. In fact, you will get better results that way when playing back standard DV on a Hi-Def TV (over using the standard DVD format). This is because standard DVD is a compressed and "lossy" format, and the standard DV format is uncompressed.
The method you will use to connect the MBP to a TV depends entirely on the TV. Hi-Def TVs can accept input using a DVI to HDMI cable/adapter. Standard TVs will require the use of Apple's DVI to video adapter, available from Apple (I think it's $20).

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*;       //Imports the Java library
class progB                    //Defines class
    public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
        BufferedReader keyboard;                                  //<-
        InputStreamReader reader;                                 // Allows the program to
        reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in);               // read the the keyboard
        keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader);                  //<-
        String name;                 //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
        int newnames;               //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
        int order = 0;              //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
        String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)
        System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?");   //This will get the number that will later define the array
        name = keyboard.readLine ();
        newnames = Integer.parseInt (name);                                         // Converts the String into the Integer variable
        array = new String [newnames];                                               //This defines the size of the array
        DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in);       //Allows data to be input into the array

                System.out.println (" Please input name ");                            // gives them a number according to
                temp = keyboard.readLine ();                                           // the order they were inputed in

}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

Help with connecting to NIST NTP server on port 123

I can get NIST time in Daytime format using the rt_nist_date_time.llb example posted on ni.com, but I cannot connect to NIST NTP format time data using port 123. I freely admit to being over my head with this stuff, and have spent much of this Thanksgiving holiday reading about UDP and TCP.
The attached vi summarizes what I've tried so far. The UDP case is what I thought would work, but I can't come up with a network address that the UDP-open vi likes. Can anyone out there help this n00b tell the time?
The attached file is supposed to be in 8.0 format, although I'm working in 9.0

THANK YOU!!! I don't think I ever would have come up with connecting the web address to a Read or Write UDP rather than the Open UDP block. Not to mention starting by opening port zero.
Unlike TCP, UDP is a connectionless protocol. Here's a quick explanation in different words.
A udp packet travels from a [sourceIP, sourcePort] to a [DestinationIP, destinationPort].
UDP open basically reserves a local port used for sending (soucePort) and receiving (incoming packet with that same destinationPort). Since some local ports are always in use, you would generate an error if you would accidentally pick a used port. Picking zero is useful for requests (as in this case!), because the OS will pick an unused ephemeral port. The actual source port number does not matter because the NTP server will just send the reply packet back to whatever port it came from. (If you would write your own NTP server in LabVIEW, you would of course need to set the local port to 123, and would get a conflict if another NTP server is already running on your rig). Writing an NTP server in LabVIEW would be a trivial modification to the current code, try it! . Simply listen for packets on port 123, form a response packet based on the timestamp, and send it to whatever IP/Port it came from (that info is available from udp read) and then go back to listen for new requests.).
UDP write sends a packet to the server using the above opened local port as source port. You can use the same connectionID to write to several other servers and ports, because UDP is connectionless. (TCP is connection based, so a TCP connection involves a defined source/destination pair)
UDP read listens for incoming packets from all over the world at that same local port. It is very unlikely, but theoretically possible that other UDP packets will arrive at that same port, so you could even filter to make sure to read incoming packets until they match the port and IP of the original request. The current code is somewhat vulnerable to a DOS (denial of service) attack for example as follows: Imagine the guy in the next cubicle had means of sniffing your network traffic. He could write a small program that looks for your NTP requests and then immediately starts flooding your IP with meaningless UDP packets to the sourcePort you just used. The current program only reads one packet and thus will never see the return packet from the NTP server.
UDP close frees up the local port and the computer is now no longer listening for packets on that port. Of course you could keep the port open for the duration of the program, especially if you intend to send UDP request once in a while during execution.
Makes sense?

Help with connecting a G4 with mac 9.2.2 to the internet?

I am new to mac, and I have a G4 that runs on Mac 9.2.2. I plan on upgrading to 10.4.6 (tiger), but I am unable to get it to connect to the internet. Can anyone help?

What is the specific model of your Mac? This can make a difference in some things.
You can connect via a built-in 56K modem if it has one, but it will be very slow. Much better would be to connect via broadband (such as DSL or Cable) using an external modem, either hard-wired via ethernet (usual) or via wireless if available on the machine.
Connecting via hard-wired ethernet is easy. You would need to acquire a modem that is acceptable to your ISP, or lease one from them if they make that option available. Either way, get one that connects via ethernet rather than via USB - USB on a G4 is just too slow for this purpose.
The setup for ethernet is simple in OS 9:
In the TCP/IP control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > TCP/IP), set
Connect via -to- Ethernet
Configure -to- Using DHCP Server
And that's usually all that is needed.
Connecting via wireless, Airport in Apple's lexicon, is similar to ethernet, as far as setting up the software goes. In order to use wireless, the G4 will need to have an Airport card installed, or you can use a local transmitter which connects via ethernet to the G4. The modem would need to be connected to a receiver (base station) in order to complete the communication path with the Mac.
If you choose to go this path, someone else would need to assist you in setting up the wireless components - I've never done that.
However, if you do not now have wireless internet available, and this is going to be the only machine needing to connect to the internet, it would be much cheaper and easier to just connect the modem via wired ethernet directly to the Mac.
In either case, you will also need to set up your email account. Your email service provider should provide you with the info you need to do that - account type and password, etc. This info is entered into the Internet control panel, Email tab.
If I have misunderstood and you want to connect wirelessly directly to your ISP using something like those small transceiver type modems that many folk use with laptops, that's something else, and someone else would need to help with that.

Help with connecting iPad 2 to Motif xs keyboard using GarageBand.?

I have an iPad 2. I recently bought the iPad camera connection kit from amazon because I heard you can connect your iPad to a music keyboard with GarageBand. I have a Yamaha motif xs 8. When I connect my keyboard with a midi USB to the iPad.. Nothing happens. Can anybody help with this, and am I missing something in order to make this work???

It worked for me no problem but I'm using an ES Rack and the dude on the video I think was using an ES. It maybe the XS is wired differently. Your best option is still getting a piece like IK Multimedia's iRig Midi. It connects from the iPad dock to actual midi cables and is way more flexible if your using multiple devices.

Need help with Digital Camcorder compatibility!

I am looking to buy a digital video camera but I am not sure if they are "compatible" with my iMac. My friend just bought the JVC - Everio Digital Camcorder - Model: GZMG330HUS. It comes with Windows software and the manual has a brief mention of how to Backup-Up the video files onto the Mac but no mention of the video format being compatible with Mac. Anyway we tried plugging it into the Mac to see how it responded, and it did not, except that it saw it as a device that we could access the video files to copy then to the Mac hard drive. The Video files have an extendion .MOD and .MOI. Tried double clicking on the MOD (the video itself) and the Mac gave the message that no application exists to run it.
I really want iMovie to recognize it so I can edit the video and make movies to sent to family.
So, my question is whether any of you have tried this? Is there a solution to get this type of camera to be recognized by iMac? Are there other suggestions for compatible cameras in the $400 range (like this JVC is)?
Thanks in advance.

I had an issue with a JVC customer service rep that caused me to return a JVC camcorder that would not work with my iMac. I have since purchased the Panasonic PV-GS320 mini/dv camcorder.
Fantastic video and absolutely no problems. Recognized through iMovie, iDVD and FCE HD 3.5 via firewire. How-ever, you will have to purchase a firewire cable as it is not supplied with the camcorder.
Also in your price range, around $350.00.
Hope this helps.

MSI P67A-C45 (B3) Newb needs Help with connections..

Hi all..
First time posting here, but have been in the shadows for quite a while..
Anyway, i decided to finally take the plunge, and build my own PC, and now i'm beginning to hit a few bumps.
I have a couple of questions that i would like some help with, if possible to reassure myself i may be in the right direction..
I bought THIS PSU and was hoping someone could tell me where the Blue connectors (one labelled CP and one labelled U1) Connect to?
Is it into JPWR2? And does it/do they only connect in the correct way? (Do i remove the plastic cap and attach both?
and i bought THIS VIDEO/GRAPHICS CARD and i'm guessing the RED "PCI express" and "SLI ready" connect to that somehow (Haven't opened box yet for card)
Again, wondering is there a certain way for them to connect.
Also, from my chassis, the "AC '97" and "HDA" connectors go to JAUD (I guess), does it matter which one? (I currently have "HDA" connected)
I have i5 2500k already on board. (If that makes a difference).

Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
Do the Audio plugs go into JAUD? and does it matter which one?
Yep, connect the front panel audio to the JAUD. If you need the pin layout, it says in the manual. I would say the HDA connector is the one to connect.
Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
Any recommendations for testing it all, before i plug it in, and press the power?
Should i (Can i) test individual parts first?
Thanks again.
Check all power connections, seating of the RAM and add-on cards, check the HSF is plugged into the fan header, and obvious things like that.
As for testing, enter the BIOS and make sure the CPU isn't running too hot. Set up the RAM with the required timings and voltage, and test with >>Memtest86<< for several hours. No point starting the Windows installation if say your RAM has errors, since it will corrupt files during the install, if it installs at all.

Those crosshairs are controllers for an effect. The first thing to do is to start turning off layers (eyeball) until you find the layer with the crosshairs. Once you've isolated the layer make sure that it's not a pre-comp, press F3 to reveal the ECW, and check the effects. If you can't turn the effects on and off then or access any of the settings the layer is locked. What would really help here is a screenshot. I can't tell much from the photo because I can't see what's under the hood.

Need help with Connect to iTunes error.

It happened when I tried to get the IOS 6.0 update. I had the same issue with my iPad when I tried getting the update but at least my iTunes recognized my iPad after 2 or 3 days. I cannot wait that long to get my phone working again.
Right now, iTunes will not recognize my phone at all.
I have tried most of the troubleshooting tips i.e. I'm running the latest version of iTunes, I have restarted my laptop, I have done a few gard resets on my iPhone, power down, power up..etc..etc.
I'm using a PC with windows 7.
Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.

Help with Connection Settings for Blu ray-to-Airport Express-to-TC?

I'm trying to use the network capability of my Sony Blu ray player and having no luck. I have the Blu ray connected via ethernet cable to the Airport Express, which in turn is connected wirelessly to my Time Capsule. The problem I'm having is horrendous because I'm so lame and no amount of forum or internet searching has helped.
The Blu ray network settings wants the following information:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server (Primary)
DNS Server (Secondary)
Do I get these settings from System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced or do I get them from either the Airport Express or Time Capsule using AirPort Utility?
I tried giving the Blu ray player a static IP Address in Time Capsule using DHCP Reservations and the Blu ray's MAC Address, but that's not working either. Between the AirPort Express, Time Capsule, cable modem, and MacBook Air there are numbers everywhere and I just don't which set to use.

Are you trying to connect it to your AirPort Express wirelessly? (That's probably the case if your AirPort Express is your only Wi-Fi device, as its Ethernet port would be connected to your broadband modem.)
Is your AirPort Express "N"-capable? What type of encryption are you using on your network?
Have you installed the "supplied Wireless LAN Adapter"?

Help with connecting iPod

Ok I have the iPod with Dock version and its in good condition. I had about 500 songs on it and didnt connect it to my computer for about 6 months because I never really got any new songs.
In between that time, I upgraded iTunes to the latest version because I still used it to listen to music on the computer.
Just recently I purchased several songs and wanted to upload them on my iPod however when I connected it to the USB, the computer recognized that something was connected but couldnt identify it, and said there might be a problem. It kept saying that and even after iTunes has been up for a while it wont register.
So basically my computer doesnt recognize it anymore. I have tried just about everything, please help and if any additional info is needed just let me know. thanks

If does not solve
] Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
