HT201177 What cable do I need to download videos from a sony camcorder to my iMac desktop

I have an older sony digital handy cam that records on tapes.  I want to copy a video to my imac desktop.
What fire wire cable do I need? I bought a cable from best buy 4 pin to 6 pin, but it does not work.
Do I need to buy it from Apple?

Is it Digital? If not you'll need an Analog to Digital converter.

  • What Cable do I need to Import Video from a Mini DV Camera?

    I have a canon xh a1, it calls for a IEEE1394 cable, I have the new mac desktops, I have no Idea what cable i need in order to import video?
    Any ideas?

    Or better still - this cable from monoprice.com. Only $5.52 compared to the Belkin cable at $29.95. I use these cables all the time, they are very well made and work perfectly. There's nothing magical about Belkin that makes their cable worth nearly 6x the price of the monoprice cables.

    The only input plugs on the 2010 are USB. If you want FireWire you need to get a MacBook Pro.

    If they're both on the same network you can enable file sharing on both and transfer files through your LAN, you don't need any cables.

  • What cable do i need to watch  netflix from my ipad to the tvv

    What cable do i need to watch  netflix from my ipad to the tvv

    Netflix does support video out. The type of cable depends on your TV. I have used the composite cable and the HDMI adapter with an HDMI cable. Both of these cables work great. There is an AV cable, but I haven't used it, but it should work also. Video quality wise the order of preference would be HDMI, AV, Composite. I bought the composite cable for traveling, because I figure most TVs in hotels would have composite inputs.

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • How do I download video from my Sony Handycam recorder to my macbook pro ?

    How do I download video from my Sony Handcam Video Recorder (DCR-SX44) to my macbook pro, using imovie? Seems like it was meant to work with a PC (lots of info and a CD for PC use...instructions to contact Apple for macs!)  I've saved video to both the internal drive and a SDHC card, but having no luck...

    have you tried to follow advice given in the Manual?

    Thanks Eric for responding.
    I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
    I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death). 
    One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
    I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
    The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
    Thanks again.

  • What cable do you need to watch shows from your macbook to your HDTV?

    What cable do you need to watch shows on your macbook to your HDTV?

    Depends on which MacBook Pro you have and what kind of TV you have.
    If you're MacBook Pro is 2010 or 2010, and your TV has an HDMI input, then get this adapter.  It should be easy.

  • What cable do I need to pass pic from my pin drive to my iPad and which one to see my movies on my tv from iPad

    I would like to pass pictures from an external pin drive to my iPad and want to know what cable I need . I also want to know what do I need to see a movie from iPad to my tv .

    You'll need a thunderbolt adapter for your MBA that will allow you to connect to your TV through HDMI, VGA or whatever port your TV supports. The following link will help you determine which cable(s) you'll need:
