How do you get Video INTO an iMac?

I am looking to record a video feed on a mini or iMac using QuickTime. Looking at the specs for both ... no can do. Is there a way?

Hi Sparks,
I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but I hope
this might help.
If you happen to have a DV camcorder, you could
probably use that. There should be either audio/video
jacks on the camcorder for analog input (or an
accessory cable) to get the feed into the camcorder,
as well as a firewire out from the camcorder that you
could send to the imac.
I have used this method in the past to input my
television feed into my ibook with no problems.
I will confirm this method. I have a Canon GL2 used it to connect to my TV and/or VCR and then connect via Firewire400 to my Intel iMac and using iMovie was able to capture video. Worked well.
Then I bought (used) eyeTV200 via Amazon.com (eBay too expensive) and use it now to record VHS and TV programs. eyeTV comes with an editing software ability builtin to remove commercials or other areas of the video you do not want in your finished product. The one thing I use eyeTV for now is to record Amazing Race automatically then the next morning it takes about two minutes to remove the commercials and another ten to burn as a VCD to take to work with me (we have WindowsXP only there) and watch the VCD with Media Player.
I've also burned recorded data to DVD from both TV and old VHS tapes. Very easy and does a nice job.

How do you get instruments into garageband i.e. violin, sax etc.

how do you get instruments into garageband i.e. violin, sax etc.

You can install additional sound fonts, see GarageBand '11: Play Soundfonts in GarageBand
or install Jam Packs: If you buy (for a moderate fee) Mainstage 2 at the AppStore, this will install all five JamPacks, so that the loops and instruments can be used with GarageBand. This way you will get all Symphonie orchestra instruments, World Music, Rhythm Section and many more.

How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the passoword?, How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the password?

Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!

Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M.

CP5.5 - How do you get video controls on your inserted video?

I have an AVI file I inserted onto a slide in CP5.5.
How do I get controls on the embedded AVI file (converted using the Adoble media encoder) so that the person going through my CBT has control over watching the video?

Technically, Captivate should be the video controls. You can allow certain functions for the viewer using the Skin Editor. If you want to be able to slide the playbar from beginning to end without encountering any other elements, just put the video into its own slide.

What is best way to get video into my iMac for recording?

I have a HD camera that outputs both HDMI and Component Analog video. What do I need to be able to get one of these signals into my iMac so I can record/edit it?

What kind of media does it record to? iMovie will import many types of media and formats. I would be using the video from the media if possible not the Video output sigal.

Is info scanned via NeatDesk into a PC transferrable to IMac? If so, how do I get it into my IMac??

My spouse has a PC and has scanned all our documents into his PC via NeatDesk. Great idea, but I do all the taxes, bills, etc. How do I get the info he scanned via NeatDesk into my IMac.

What file format are they in? For example, "Filename.jpg" - what are the letters after the dot? Hopefully a common file format. Then it's a matter of finding where they are on his PC, and depending on how many, copying them to a USB drive, CD, DVD, emailing to get them to your iMac.

Yes, you can use EvilLyrics to download lyrics from songs as you play them in iTunes, and then you can use a script to copy those lyrics into iTunes.

HT201335 how do you get video to come from amazon prime, I can get the sound but no video

I have an ipad2 and am a amazon prime member, when trying to watch the movies on my TV I can get the audio but not sound, message on the screen tells me to disable the mirroring capability on my ipad2 which I cannot do because the feature to disable doesn't show anywhere. Is there a solution?

This is why I have a Roku 2 ( the 3 has problems). I stream netflix and Amazon to any TV.

How do you get apps into location services?

Location services only shows camera, siri, and weather. My wife's phone shows over 20 apps in location services, which I also have the same apps loaded on my phone, and they do not appear in my Location Services in Settings but they do in hers. This prevents Notifications on these apps.

What version of the operating system, iOS, have you got on the iPod and iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and what minimum version do the apps require ? If, for example, the app needs iOS 5 but you only have version 4.3 on the iPod, then it won't download onto the iPod. Also some apps only work on the iPad (e.g. they need the iPad's larger screen) so they also won't download on an iPod. An app's requirements are listed on the left-hand side of their description page in the store.
I also assume that the device which the apps aren't downloading on is also connected to a network ?

I just downloaded music in a .flac format. how do i get that into my itunes library so i can listen to it on my iMac, iPhone and Sonos?

Sneedham,
iTunes is not capable of playing songs in FLAC format.
To use the music in iTunes get a 3rd party converter such as Switch and create versions in an iTunes compatible audio format such as MP3, AAC, Wav or AIFF.
Keep the original FLACs on hand for times when you are using a more capable music player.

How do I get video clips into Organizer from Elements?

I have broken my raw video into pieces in elements but can't get it to import into organizer.
I am using Elements 11 Trial.

The video is actually a football highlight film for our son and came to us as a single mp4 file with about 60 plays of video on it.
What I am trying to do is
1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project).
2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips.
3) Get the ability to rank/rate each video and select the 25 or so that will make up the final video.
4) Polish/edit those that make the grade.
5) Organize and assemble.
Does this make sense?

I am using Elements 11 Trial.Place the "Work Area Bars" (located on the time line) so that only a "piece" is covered. Then "Share" to a computer file. Pick a file type that suits your needs. Be sure to check the box titled "Share WorkArea Bar Only". Unfortunately, the clip piece will be re-encoded. PrE11 will do that well, but not perfect because any encoding always seems to loose a little. You did not say what camera you are using. The software that came with my Sony and Panasonic camcorders is much better for splitting clips into smaller clips. Some sort of magic is in them where re-encoding does not take place. The pieces have the same picture quality as the original.   So, when I do what you want, I break it into pieces with the camcorder software, the put the video together in PrE with all the creative tools it offers. Bill

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:
