I Can´t get my macbook pro to recognize my Sony HDR-HC1 Camera

This is my first Mac computer in life and I´m trying to connect my sony Hdr-Hc1 camera through the firewire 800 port but there is no sign of recognition of the device on the system or on final cut or imovie.
I´ve seen a lot of topics on the matter but mostly for other model of computers, as I´ve come to notice there seems to be a solution for the matter but I haven´t been able to reach it.
Has anyone experienced this specific problem?

Plenty of discussion here:

WHy don't Final Cut Pro 7 recognize my sony hdr-sr11 camera.

Final cut won;t recognize the camera for log and capture. iMove doesn't recognize it either. Help

That's an AVCHD camera.
You connect it with a USB cable and use Final Cut Pro's *Log & Transfer* function to bring in the clips.

How do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone so I can transfer photos from the phone

how do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone to I can transfer photos from the phone

you could try this:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to
sync your music , photos, videos, etc
hope one of these works for you

you have to go to Apple store online then you'll have to go to customize your MacBook Pro, there you choose Arabic keyboard, and it'll automatically contains both languages English and Arabic....... because the Latin letters must have for any computer to be used on email's website and etc. etc.

I can't get my macbook pro linked to my HP PPhotosmart 5510 printer

I can't get my macbook pro linked (wirelss) to my HP PPhotosmart 5510 printer? When I put the CD in the drive and try to install it says I need OSX 10.5 or 10.6. Please help!...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try downloading the latest drivers and updates, including a 'critical update' for OS X 10.7 'Lion' directly from HP:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw _lang=&product=5063582#N179
If the direct link above doesn't work, you can navigate your way through about three layers of HP menus, starting at hp.com, then Printers, selecting your Photosmart model, and eventually reaching Software and Driver downloads, and OS X.

How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor. At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on. I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable. If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes. It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

Hi Melophage,
Thank you very much for your response. I have a similar question to the one Abraham has, but applied to an offline Apple Store, say, the one in Ginza.
I will have little time in Tokyo, and would like to get a MacBookPro with a US or Int'l keyboard (with or without Hiragana, I don't really care as long as there are English letters on the keyboard) off the shelf from an offline store. However, I keep getting conflicting responses from both within Apple and on forums.
There's an option to get a US keyboard when ordering from Apple online, and that's fine. How about the in-store pickup option? Is there one, or will there be a MacBookPro with an English keyboard if I just show up at a store one day soon?
I would greatly appreciate an answer if you have one. Thanks in advance!

How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive?

How do I get my MacBook Pro to recognize my Toshiba external hard drive? I'm working on transferring my music from our home computer to my new laptop and I already got all my music onto the hard drive but now, when I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it doesn't recognize it. There isn't an icon that pops up and nothing happens at all. The blue light on the hard drive that indicates that it knows it is plugged into something comes up but that's about it. Someone told me I might have to "format" it but I don't know what that means and I don't know how to do it. I just want to get my music from the hard drive to my laptop so please help!

I don't know about your first question... I went to finder, preferences, then general but I didn't see anything for the hard drive.
Huh, in the Finder menu, Preferences, you will see this:
Nope, disk utility cannot see it. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but it still won't recognize it.puter that's a Mac...
If DU cannot see it then the preferences is just an academic exercise.
If this is a USB drive then as mentioned above you may need a powered USB hub since there may not be enough power from the USB to run the drive. What else do you have plugged into the USB ports? If there's some stuff you can unplug it then do it and see if your drive mounts.
What do you mean from a Windows machine? It's a Toshiba hard drive and I put my music on it from my home computer that's a Mac...
Which is all I wanted to know, i.e., whether the drive came from a Winows machine. So it's been formatted and created on a mac. Therefore it should mount on this other mac machine. So it most likely is a power problem.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on you MacBook then plug the USB cable into your iPhone 4s.

Where can I get my MacBook Pro Cleaned to be Brand N E W? :]

I wish to get my MacBook Pro, cleaned just about everywhere. Some places specificly I wan't to look new includes the key's, under the keys, on the glass screen, the bottom of the screen where the fan's are, the magsafe adapter port (seems to have accumulated black stuff), the track pad, and the bottom of the laptop. My question is, if I drop it off at the Apple Store, will they help me out? Will they clean it? I assume the least they would do would sell me supplies to do it myself, and that this is a stupid question, but if there is any products out there, any idea if the genius would have it overnight to be cleaned, or any answer at all would be very helpful . . .. .

Kappy- thanks for the heads up.
Does that program give me the ability to simply sync the two computers? and not have to reinstall everything?
Sorry I'm not a techie!
Also- do you know if there is a way to , or does the above do, a copy of my mailboxes from various email folders on my desktop?
So I'm seeing all emails deleted and responded to, etc. across all my platforms?
When I checked the icloud mail option, in preferences, it only set up an icloud email account but does not appear to readjust any of my other desktop emails, (which are not applemails but incoming mail from websites.)
Thanks again.
Nick

How can i get my MacBook Pro to output a 120 hZ signal to my TV?

I have a 2012 MacBook pro and an Insignia 120 Hz television. I would like to watch movies/play games on my TV in 120 hertz. What cables do i need, and what do i have to do to get this to work. It currently shows that the highest refresh rate i can reach in the display settings is 60 Hz. Is this because of the cables i'm using? I currently have the rocketfish minidisplay to hdmi adapter hooked up to a hdmi cable to the tv. I have read other discussions relating to this issue but they got congested with people's personal issues. An approach i saw to getting this to work was by getting the Mini-Display port to Dual-Link DVI adapter. If this is the best means of accomplishing my goals, where do i go from there? And please, no bull****. If you know the answer/could help, help; if you don't know the answer, don't post.
Thanks!

You have to format it first using Disk Utility.

Where can i get the macbook pro (2010) bootcamp drivers for windows 7?

I recently decided to install windows 7 ultimate (32-bit) on my macbook pro (2010 model). However my macbook did not come with installation disks, i know this for a fact and it came pre installed with 10.6. And when i try to download the windows support files through bootcamp assistant, it says that the download cannot continue. So where can i get these drivers from?

All MBP's with Snow Leopard (10.6) came with an installaton disc, and that is where the drivers are, if you don't have (or didn't get) the disc contact Apple for a replacement, there is no downloadable version of BC3

Can I get my Macbook Pro just checked out and tuned up at the genius bar?

I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered. Basically I've had my Macbook Pro for four and a half years, but it's still doing mostly fine. It's just showing it's age slightly I think, with more spinning wheels than usual and odd things like the date is usually set to 1999 when I turn the computer on, but it rights itself in a few minutes. Also most the time when I plug it in it says it's not charging and I have to try multiple times. None of this is a huge deal, it's just that I really need the computer to last me preferably at least another year, so I worry about it a bit. I do take good care of it though. I'm about to move out of the country for a year, so I'd like to get it just checked out and perhaps tuned up a bit so that any problems are taken care of and it's in the best shape before I move away. I'd like to make a genius bar appointment, but the closest Apple store is a two hour drive from my home, so I don't want to go into it not having any idea how much it will cost or if they'll even be able to do what I'm hoping in the span of a single workday. I really don't want to have to drive back later to pick it up or have it sent off somewhere to be repaired, although if it does have serious problems I'd be willing to do that. I'd just like to know going in to it what the price range is likely to be like. I don't want to make the drive to the Apple store and have them tell me it's going to be a few hundred dollars just to have my computer looked over. And I don't even know if they offer that service, let alone if they can do it in a single afternoon. I've tried calling the store and conversations with the automated person really are not helpful. He just tells me to go online and make a reservation, and I can't figure out how to get my questions about cost and service answered.
Also, am I being foolish hoping my four and a half year old Macbook will last at least another year or two? I have no idea what the "life expectancy" is for these things. I know nothing really about computers at all, so forgive my ignorance.
Any help and insight is very much appreciated.

The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have. The diagnosis will be free. Any extensive repairs will not be free.
If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself. Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions. If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.
