How do I transfer a complete MiniDV to my Mac?

MacBook Pro, Maverick, iMovie 10
I am not into videos but I promised friends to help them transfer their MiniDV tapes to an external harddrive. I played around a bit only to realize that it was not really obvious (at least to me) how to set up iMovie to do that simple task. It automatically seperates scenes, applies transitions etc.
All I want is to transfer a 1hour tape in one go to the USB harddrive. Is there any easy way to achieve that?
Thanks.

Sure you can save the file the conventional way, I'm just saying that if for some reason the file name is incorrect the iPad will not recognize it as valid Word file. I would absolutely recommend  Save As .doc - just offering another reason why the OP cant open the file. Sometimes file names can get corrupted.
If the file is a valid Word file with the correct extension, it should open on the iPad.

    How do I transfer my Adobe from a purchased Mac to my new Mac?

    Are you saying you bought a computer with CS4 suite already installed on the computer?
    There are several versions of Creative Suite 4 that have different applications depending on the version you bought.
    Computers don't normally come with preinstalled software that ranges in price from approximately $600 to over $2000.
    You should have the disks for CS4 somewhere or if you downloaded it, you can download again for the link in message 5 above.
    And No, you cannot find the complete serial # on your old Mac.
    Adobe abbreviates the serial number shown in the application.

  • I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

    I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
    Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

    I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
    Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
    Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
    And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

  • How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

    How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

    Depends on exactly what you want to transfer:
    The Original files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Original) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
    The Edited files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Jpeg or tiff, note the options for adding metadata to the export) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
    Both and all the Metadata: Link the two Macs together and use  iPhoto Library Manager

    How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

    hi,
    it depends from the OS which is installed on your computer. At first you must access your Music folder which contains the iTunes folder:
    Windows 7:
    \username\My Music\iTunes.
    Windows XP:
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Music/iTunes/
    In this iTunes folders you can find a "iTunes Media" folder which contains your Music. This Music you can than copy on a flash drive

  • How do i transfer pdfs into iPhoto on a mac

    how do i transfer pdfs into iPhoto on a mac. the pdfs are in my pictures folder but i need them to be in my iphoto

    If you have pdfs with multi pages that you want to get into iPhoto here's a way to do so enmass:
    Here's how to get any file (pdf) into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the (pdf) file in any application that will open it, in this case Preview.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place them in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of each page of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.
