How do I transfer Hi8 vidio tapes from my Sony camcorder to my mac mini

I want to transfer my hi 8 video tapes from my Sony AF CCD camcorder. I read that my mac mini supports some tape camcorders and to use the fire wire
connection. The adapter I have that plugs into my my camcorder has a coax adapter that pushes onto a tv. Does anyone know what I should do. Thanks

If you can get hold of a Canopus ADVC-55 it requires no extra software and will feed digital video into your Mac. There are a few in Amazon UK but it's a fairly old device - I've used one for some years now - and I don't know what the general availability is.

How can i transfer al my data from a Sony laptop to a new macair?

Hoy can i transfer all my data from a Sony laptop to new Mac airé?

Just to add one extra explanation to simplify things:
grab your (if you have one) external HD and move files (pics vids etc. documents) to same and load it to your macbook Air.
Unless you are running bootcamp, I assume obviously there are no applications you're moving over from Win to Mac OSX.

How do I transfer Digital Audio Tapes from Panasonic SV3700 deck (w/RCA coaxial digital output) to my 2008 MacBook Pro (10.5.8)?

Subject line pretty much says it all. I have many DATs recorded before the era of putting everything onto a drive. I'd like to transfer (digitally) these tapes to my MacBook Pro (2008, 10.5.8). My DAT deck is a Panasonic SV3700 which only has the RCA digital coaxial cable outputs. What do I need to buy (cable, converter, software???) to allow the SV3700 to transfer my files to my computer. I know I could use the analog input but that kind of defeats the purpose of going through the pain in the neck of recording those concerts digitally. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this problem exists for many old tapers out there, but I've yet to see a solution posted on any

In THEORY, you need a converter like this:
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=9137
to convert coaxial SPDIF to TOSLINK optical. The data stream is the same, it is just changed from electrical to optical.
Then you need an optical TOSLINK to optical miniplug cable like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10229&cs_id=1022902 &p_id=1557&seq=1&format=2
Then you need recording software (Garageband would work), and to make several settings in system prefs and the app prefs, and Audio-MIDI.app. A decent 2 channel basic audio editor is SoundStudio 4, but there are many.
I haven't tried the Gefen device, since I have other products that do this function. I have also heard that the Panasonics sometimes seem to have a non-standard data stream that just doesn't play nice with some devices. Be sure to have a money back guarantee.

How do i get apps i purchased from my iPad to my new mac mini

i have been using my iPad and iPhone for a little over a year and have many many apps on both that I can easily update from device to device...I recently added the Mac Mini desk top to my work and want to sync some of the apps plus the info they contain on my desk top but can not figure out how to please help

You can't. iOS apps don't run on a Mac. Some, such as iWork apps, have Mac equivalents with which they can share data.

How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

I have just bought the mac. I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder. From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder. The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer. I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

OK, according to

your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

How do I transfer mini dv tapes from a Sony videocamera to my macbook?

How do I transfer mini dv tapes from a Sony videocamera to my macbook? Issues are: my macbook has no hdmi port, no firewire port, and Sony does not support streaming USB between its mini dv tapes and Macs.
Only available ports on my macbook
I've been told I need an "external firewire capture card" to basically give my mac some semblance of firewire ability. But no one so far can tell me definitively 1) what product to purchse and 2) that it actually works.
I have had some tapes converted by Costco to dvd but those do not work - they are in an uneditable dv format. I want to import the tapes to digital format in order to edit and create new video from them.
Thanks!

If you have tried all the Google search suggestions including the YouTube tutorials, then it's time to contact Sony tech support. Or post in the iMovie forum area.

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same id account

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same Apple ID .

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense without a little more information. You can't transfer a video from the phone to the iPad by connecting the devices. There are WiFi transfer apps that will let you send a video from one device to another one. I get the feeling that isn't what you are really asking though because that has absolutely nothing to do with your Apple ID.
If you want to download the same purchased movie to the iPad that you downloaded to the phone, go to the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad. Tap the Movies Button. Tap Not on this iPad. Find the movie and tP the cloud icon next to the movie icon and start downloading.
You must be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you bought the movie with on the iPhone.

How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app. Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.

Jolly Giant hasn't posted in around a year...
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
