How to get 8MM movies onto Imac?

I have a new Imac and an old Sony Digital 8 Handycam.  Model TRV530.  I have connected via firewire to the Thunderbolt Port on the Imac.  The Imac is not seeing the camera at all?  Any suggestions?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • How to get dvd movies onto ipod with windows

    Okay, I have finally figured out how to get movies from DVD to ipod for windows users, and it's free, with no watermarks. It involves a 2-program process. First go and download Videora Ipod Converter at http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    Then download DVDFab Decrypter at http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
    Now after you have installed these onto your computer:
    1. Insert the DVD into your disc drive.
    2. Open DVDFab and open the DVD folder, video_ts or whatever it happens to be
    3. Select your target destination for the files to be saved
    4. Click start to begin copying the DVD.
    5. Once everything is done being saved open videora ipod converter
    6. Go to setup and select the one click profile which size of video you would like and the output of the files
    7. Go to convert and select new transcode video, find your video file and select open
    8. Wait for the file to be completed transcoding
    9. Open itunes and select file, add file to library, find the file(s) and select okay
    10. Most of you should know what to do form here

    For anyone who wants to get up and running, these are the settings I use for Videora.
    After days of experimenting, I settled on the settings below which seem to give a good balance between filesize and quality. There will be a bit of blockiness in the dark shadows but if it's too much, just increase the 'bitrate'. Experiment with a short video, but make sure the video you experiment with is very high quality or you won't know what is or isn't down to your settings.
    Again, don't use h264. Only Quicktime Pro has h264 nailed. You may be able to get some things to work in h264 but more likely, you'll be watching a movie and it will suddenly stop, or your iPod's hard disk will start munching away to a black screen. mpeg-4 works fine in Videora, always. No problems.
    Video
    Mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
    Resolution: 320 x 240
    Passes: One (two makes almost no difference except doubling the time)
    Bitrate: 384kbps
    Framerate: Input
    Audio
    Bitrate: 96kbps
    Channels: Stereo
    Sample Rate: Input
    Volume: 100%

  • I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates. 
    Clicking on each of these gives you a different view. 
    When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
    Hope this helps.

    how to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

    VGA and DVI do not carry sound.  Only HDMI.
    Use a minidisplay-to-HDMI adapter.  Then when the TV is connected to the system use "System Prefences > Sound > Output" to select the TV for sound.
    Or connect speakers to the output port of the MBP.

  • Does anyone know how to get a movie to play on the apply TV that you rented?

    Does anyone out there know how to get a movie to play on the Apple TV that was rented through Apple TV?

    It's not going to show under purchases because it's a rental. You have to go into settings - iTunes - check for rental.
    Note: a rental will disappear once it's expired (after 24hrs or 48 hrs depending on location)

    Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
    If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

  • How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?

    Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I’d be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there’s a new version of iMovie and I can’t figure out how to get the movies in iPhoto into iMovie. So confused. Help!

    within iMovie on the left side go to iPhoto Library, then movie the mouse slightly to the right where you see choices for events...faces...places....try selecting events and it should bring up what you may be looking for.  From this point you can select photos or videos to move into your project.  hope this helps

    Commercial DVDs can't be transferred to the iPod without programs of dubious legality, and a decent sized PITA.
    Try Google: Dvd to iPod.

  • How To Get DVD Movie On To iPad?

    Hi..
    I'm trying to figure out how to get a DVD movie onto the iPad. I know you can convert certain formats using the Handbrake software. But has any one attempted this yet?
    Also, I've tried a few times to download Handbrake from versiontracker.com and didn't have any luck... I'm essentially stuck in a loop and the download never starts (I'm not sure if any one else has had the same problem).

    Yes, I've done it successfully. The iPad seems happy with the apple TV format without any additional conversion. I don't know why you're having issues with the download, I downloaded mine ages ago.
