How to connect my dv camera to my mac and make movies?

i just got my new macbook and dont no how to connect my dv camera to it...i got a software disc for my dv cam but it doesnt run automatically and i dont no how to install it....it is usb connection...do i need fire wire?...help me plz help...getting frustrated ...is the any sites that help with macs ..cuz im use to pc...dont no anything bout macs...thanks so much!!!

Hello,
It would be helpful to know what camera you are trying to connect and what exactly you are trying to do with it.
In regards to firewire vs usb i only really have experience with firewire so i can not help you there unfortunatetly.
If you are just trying to get the video footage off the camera you could try and open up iMovie from within you applications folder. Attached the camera, my iMac is currently in for repairs so i can quite tell you the whole thing but look for options of attached cameras.
The reason why the cd doesnt autorun is that it is probably window software, does the disk specifically state Mac OS X?. If you double click on the cd it should open up in a window. Have a look around for any Mac folders or any obvious applications that you can run.

  • How to connect my nokia 6120c to my mac laptop?

    how to connect my nokia 6120c to my mac laptop? i want to use my phone as my modem

    Hi,
    Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac. If you receive any cases/questions related to this, please provide the steps mentioned below.
    Steps:
    Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
    To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
    -In the following example, the APN name "Airtel" is used. This name will vary depending on your operator.
    -On your device locate and open the Settings application. This is normally in the Tools folder.
    -In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
    -Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
    -Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/​device-as-a-modem
    Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
    Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
    Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
    - Vendor : Nokia
    -Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
    -Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
    -APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
    CID: 1
    Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Cheers
    Sandy

    How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer/ will be deleted on the server ?

    For that kind of connectivity you need to be using an email account configured either as IMAP or Exchange.
    IMAP & Exchange accounts will maintain a sync across all your devices, so if you read / delete a message on your phone, it will disappear from the server as well. This cannot happen in POP email accounts.
    If your using gmail, instructions on how to set up exchange / imap are here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
    Alternatively, if its anything other than Google, you will need to contact your email providor or IT department (if your email address resides with an enterprise environment) to get the correct settings.
    Hope this helps!

    How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?
    In the past I would simply place a copy of the document on my scanner, then selected create PDF from scanner.  However, there is now no create PDF from scanner alternative, option or choice.  The only option available is selected file to convert to PDF.  what am I to do?

    That would have been a function of your scanning software. Adobe Reader is only used to view the pdf that your scanning software created.

  • How do I remove my card details from payment and make it none again

    need to find out how to remove my bank card from payment info and make it none again

    On a Mac or PC, iTunes>Store>click your name in the toolbar and select 'Account Info' (in older iTunes click 'Account' in the links on the right). Presumably the iOS version is similar.
    Sign in. Click 'Edit' to the right of 'Payment information. You will see various credit card types listed, plus there should be a 'None' button. Click that then 'Done' at the bottom right.
    There have been reports that some people have been unable to carry this out. In that case probably only Support can help you. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption', then 'iTunes Store account billing'.

  • How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

    I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

    Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
