How can I transfer hi8 to a computer not having a firewire connector?

When I lost my Windows XP system I bought another computer having Windows 8.1. I have analog cassettes in Hi8 that I want to transfer to my new computer. I learned, afterwards, that my new computer didn't include fire wire. I am still hoping to use my Premiere Pro CS6 to edit my videos. I'm in a predicament where PPro will only accept a digital signal and all my tapes are analog. I need to find a way to convert my tapes to the digital format. I've gone online and found a unit (Thomson Grass Valley, ADVC 110 high quality analog to digital converter) that is said to be quite acceptable. However, I'm afraid to buy it because I'm uncertain it will be compatible with my new computer. My new computer is an ASUS All-In-One (that, as I mentioned, has no fire wire input jacks.)

It's far cheaper to add a Firewire card to your computer than to buy that unit. I just bought one that works beautifully ...

... for $34 plus shipping.
I would add that if you go into the "properties" through Device Manager you can choose to "rollback" and then choose the "legacy" option, which will mean that it doesn't make any difference to Windows if you use the 6-pin (one side is a v-shape) connection 1394 "a" type (400mbps) or the 9-pin rectangular 1394 "b" connection (800mbps). If you use the newest driver for the card, it will work only through the 9-pin 1394b connection port and wire type.
Most camcorders used the small plug with a divot (bent in v-shape) on one side ... so typically you'd need either the 1394b 9-pin cord to mini-firewire or "iLink" style plug, or if using the legacy driver for the card, either that or the 6-pin 1394a firewire to mini/iLink plug. Of course, check your camera.
Then within PrPro, you set up a new project, don't worry about creating a sequence ... go to File->Capture, choose the DV option, and you should ... with the camera connected to the computer and in playback mode but paused, see a window with your footage in it. You can record a bit, give it a name & other metadata, then just drag that onto the "New Item" icon to make a new sequence to fit your footage.

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

Connect the phone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can enable the sidebar via control-S, on a Mac via option-command-S) and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Music tab and use that to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to your phone's Music app.

Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

Sounds like you've already installed iTunes 11 and are now trying to downgrade. To do so successfully you will also need access to a pre-upgrade copy of your library as set out below...
The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs & List views from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How can you transfer songs from a computer to another?

here's the problem
my old computer shorted out and was beyond repair
so i have a new one. but, there was about 100$ worth of music on the old one
so...my question is: how can i get my songs back?
(remember, my old computer is worthless)

1 do you have backups?
2 do you have your songs on an iPod? It is possible to copy music from you iPod to your PC, but you have to do it right or the files can get deleted from the iPod. Don't allow your iPod to sync with iTunes on the new PC.
3 Although your old PC may be fried, it is possible that the disk drive still works. If the drive is OK you can purchase a Drive Enclosure and use the old drive as an external HD on your new PC. If that works your should simply be able to copy your msuic files across.

How can I transfer my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from one apple-id to another?

I moved from DK to the US and now I have created a US-apple-ID. How do I transfer all my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from my DK-apple-ID to my new US-apple-ID?

Hey kristina rivera!
You will first want to export your contacts from iCloud using the following article:
iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
You will then want to log in to her iCloud account, then import the vCard file that had been exported from your iCloud account:

How can I transfer music from one computer to a mac without burning cds?

Or, if you have a network established that both computers are on, you can transfer your "iTunes" folder from one computer to the other. That's what I just did, (from my PC to my new Mac), and it worked just fine. (I only lost the files that I haven't deauthorized on the PC yet.)
