I need help connecting my HDV 1080i to my Macbook Pro

I bought a Sony HDV 1080i, and I cannot get it to record onto my 2011 macbook pro.
Serial # HDR-HC1
I have a firewire cable, but when I connect my camera nothing shows up...
I really want this film on my computer.. If anyone could help id be more then thankful!
Thanks,
Miranda AND Seamus

Let me see if I can answer these questions. I’m somewhat new to wireless networks.
Do you mean you've assigned a fixed IP based on AppleTV's wireless MAC code?
I assigned the IP address from the Apple TV to my list of accepted IP’s on the network
What sort of 'security' are you using to stop it connecting?
Just simple WEP.
When you secure the network does AppleTV still see it but give an error?
Yes, it sees it fine and the signal strength is FULL.
Any peculiar characters in the password or SSID?
None
Have you manually entered the settings in AppleTV too incuding the IP address?
I tried both Automatic and Manual.
On both the prompt says it's connect to my network however; it will not connect to Itunes, Youtube, etc…

Hi everybody, I am in Turkey on a long assignment, I need help solving a big problem on my macbook pro os 10.9.3. The other week my wife visited some website and now we have a redirect virus of some sort, and every other time when we click on a link or anywhere on the page we are redirected to this casino web site, https://casino.7bets10.com/tr/?from=hy9yKXD43jSC-8Oxbw4femNd7ZgqdRLk-dHJpeG9uaXR l. Its the same whether on Chrome or Safari. Does anyone have a solution, thank you!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

I need help regarding resetting my mail accounts on macbook pro

What kind of accounts do you need to reset? IMAP or POP accounts using one of the many web-based messaging systems? An Exchange server account? Were they working and now just not working any longer?
You're going to have to be a little more specific in what you need...

I need to connect a computer monitor to my MacBook Pro but have found that when using the mini display port to VGA adaptor the screen display on my macbook is very small font. Please what do I do to correct this?

I need to connect a computer monitor to my mac book pro, using a mini display port to VGA adaptor. But have experienced a drastic reduction in font size on my
Mac screen even before I have managed to check the result on the monitor screen. Please how do I compensate for this and restore my mac screen appearance?
Many Thanks Alangium in uk

Hi alangium,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Resetting your computer's PRAM should restore your Macbook Pro's screen appearance.

18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....

HT202549 I need help with my messages app on my macbook pro.

I'm trying to send/receive messages to/from my son who recently switched from iphone to android. I have a 4s running ios 7.1.2 if that matters. When I try to send him a message through the messages app on my laptop, it says "(his number) is not registered with imessage." But my daughter who has an iphone 5 says that she gets his messages on her macbook pro and can also send messages to him from the messages app on there.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Let me know if you need any more information.

Hi WT13,
You can do that too but not with the current configuration that you have. To get SMS messages on your Mac, you would need to have iOS 8 on your iPhone and also be running OS X Yosemite on your Mac. Once you have that set up then you can enable SMS messages to have them forward to your Mac.

Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
Cheers

Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

Need help on reinstaling OS X on my Macbook Pro after formating it!

Hey! I hope someone can finaly help me with my mac problem. I have a macbook pro that I think might be from 2011. Well the thing is that I have formated my macbok and when I got to the os x utilities screen I went for the option to reinstall OS X, everything was going fine until it asked me to introduce my apple id and password. I did it and what happened next was that I got this message: "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later". So now i´m stuck at this point, i can´t reinstall any os x. I´m guessing the problem with mountain lion is that it´s an old version of os x that isn´t available anymore for free downloads. So what shoud I do?
I´ve been reserching on internet for any possible solutions and nothing. I just came upon that many mac users have had this problem and some found the solution but doesn´t share it with the rest. Right now im living in peru therefor I cant go to an apple store to get my problem fixed.
Can some please help me? I´m really despreate!!

"This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later"
That message can also be read as "Mac OS X in not available to the Apple-ID you provided".
You need to provide the original Apple-ID that was used to register that Mac, or an Apple-ID that was used to purchase (even for $0) some later version of Mac OS X.

Need help reinstalling OS X on my used Macbook pro

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but anyways:
I'm totally new to the macbook, but my company does iOS apps and I want to broaden my knowledge base. So I bought a mid 2010 macbook pro on ebay last week. When I got it I realized the previous user still had files on the device. I also realized that she had left the screen lock password protected and I didn't know it. I decided at this point to wipe all the data on the hard drive and start fresh. At this point I then tried to reinstall OS X Lion. I follow all the steps and it asks me to enter my app store id and password. When I did this, a popup tells me "This Apple ID has not purchased OS X Lion". Fine, I need to buy a license, fair enough so I buy a license from the App store for Lion. Two days later I get the encrypted pdf with a redemption code and here's where my problem is, I have no way to redeem the code. I tried to download the OS again and got the same error message. I assume this is because I didn't redeem the code. But how do I redeem this code if the macbook doesn't have an OS on it to run the mac app store? Anybody have any suggestions?

Ask the person who sold it to you for the original disks, or phone AppleCare and order replacements. Once you've installed 10.6.3, update it to 10.6.8 and redeem the code.

I really need help dual-booting Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro

Hi. I am totally lost in dual-booting Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro. I got rEFIt, but I don't know what I need for the Windows 7 part. Do I put an .iso file on a flashdrive? Or can I just do it easier with a physical disc of Windows 7? If you could, please have somewhat indepth steps, as I have no knowledge in this field.

You don't need rEFIt. But you do have to start with an unpartitioned startup drive. You create the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder. Open BCA and click on the large button to print out the documentation. Then read it carefully before proceeding. You will need a bootable Windows DVD, not an ISO file. You need to use the computer's optical drive because Windows will neither install nor boot from an external optical drive.

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

Howdy sprinklemk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
Cheers,
-Jason
