How to connect my camera on mac book?

how to connect my camera on my mac book?

Usually an appropriate cable, and other items are
included in the retail box a camera arrived in, so
there should be instructions by that manufacturer
to most suitably attach the camera to a Mac or PC.
Usually the computer will automatically detect the
camera when attached by USB cable; the Mac will
offer to use iPhoto or another application, to view
and handle image processing; or you could choose
to select a different application, or none at all.
For my Macs and two cameras, I do not have iPhoto
handle the images and I choose third-party software
because I don't make libraries of images in the Mac.
However depending on the computer and the camera
the Mac may already have sufficient drivers already
installed; so a software installation from a CD from the
camera maker may not be needed in order to use it.
Since your question is rather wide and gives no info
as to what you have, the replies are also generalized.
Good luck & happy computing!

    connecting sony sx800 to mac book. I  found out that it works only if it is the only usb device conected

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
    thanx

    How do I stop my new Mac book Pro from opening all my old emails and flashing them in the upper right.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

  • Connecting la2306x monitor with mac book pro retina

    Hi There
    I just bought an HP Monitor la2306x, and tired to connect it with my Mac book pro Retina. I attempted the connection via HDMI Cable and a HDMI to Display Port Adapter, but the monitor didnt find the connection.
    I then attached an HDMI to DVI adapter to the Monitor and still nothing, the Laptop did seem to notice that i connected another display as the screen went on and off but nothing was shown on the monitor.
    Using the same connection i tried connectiong my PS3 and it connected through HDMI to DVI.
    Can the monitor work with Macs? I didnt think it would be a issue  
    Thanks a lot for your Help!

    Hello naja89,
    You want to connect a monitor to your MacBook.
    You might have to change a setting on the computer.
    The cables connect to the Thunderbolt/Mini-Display Port, and you then have to select System Preferences > Display and use Mirroring or not according to how you want to operate.
    I found this on the mac forums.
    Here is the link to the forum.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Canon MG 31222 won't connect wirelessly to a Mac book Pro.

    Trying to get a Canon MG 31222 to connect wirelessly to a Mac book Pro running OS 10.6.8.   I've turned off and on both printer and router with no success. In the print and fax dialog box, the printer is not listed, nor is it listed when I try to add a printer. Canon's site is useless. Their FAQs are useless. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work? No WPS button on printer. 

    If you are using Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 -10.8 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Restart your Mac.
    Now reset the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

    Not much you can do.  You overwrote your current data with older data when you restored the phone from that backup.  Your data's gone.

  • How do I check if my mac book air has a virus?

    How do I check if my mac book air has a virus? I was online and something started downloading, I closed it and put it in the trash but not sure if that is enough to get rid of it? Thanks

    1) Did it finish downloading? if no, you have nothing more to worry about.
    2) Are you using Safari?
    3) If using Safari, do you have Safari set to run/open any files automatically?
    4) Is your system updated with the latest security update? If not, why?
    The bottom line is whether the download was able to install anything.
    As long as your settings are such that no download is able to automatically open, and you ae up to date on your security updates, then you haven't much to worry about.
    Be familiar with the programs in your application folder, such that you would notice anything not supposed to be there. As well, check and make sure that nothing unknown is being launched at startup (check your account settings).
    The absolute best security a Mac can have is an aware and familair user who is moderately vigilant.

  • How do i set permission for mac book air to use drop box?

    I am trying to share photos with my son's mac book air. Each time he tries to access my Mac it says he doesnt have permission to access the Dropbox. I cant find out how to change this.
    His Mac book air has Air drop but it seems that I don't have this facility.
    I have tried exporting files to Mac book air and it looks like they have gone through but can't find them!
    It is exasperating- I thought sharing files would be easy- have no hard wiring to do it with so does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
    Any help appreciated!!!

    If your MBP has Lion installed then you have iCloud by updating to 10.7.2.
    If you have a 2011 MBP then Lion should be pre-installed. If it is not then you can purchase and download it via the App Store if you have 10.6.6 or later installed. If you have older PPC-only applications such as Office 2004, then they will have to be upgraded because PPC-only applications will not run in Lion.
    You can, however, add a second partition to your hard drive and install Lion on that partition. In this way you can keep your older applications and boot into Snow Leopard when you need to use them.

  • Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

    Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
