Importing firewire video to new MacBook Pro
How do I import video that comes over firewire to my early '11 MacBook Pro that uses only USB and Thunderbolt?
Thanks,
Theo
It has firewire?
It's between the USB slot & the ETHERNET slot.

Don't forget if it is a Firewire 400 camera, you'll need a 400 - 800 cable, as they have different plugs on them.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection
Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work -
Tranfer analog video to new Macbook Pro
I have a new Macbook Pro and I would like to transfer old 8mm videotapes to it and burn them onto DVD. I read about Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac, however, none of the articles/reviews/posts are recent and all of the online dealers who sold it are listing it as "out of stock". I tried contacting Pinnacle direct but NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE!!!! (and yes, I called during operating hours)
Needless to say, I am no longer interested in purchasing a Pinnacle product. Does anyone know of a current technology device that I can do this with? I really don't even care about doing any editing. I just want to transfer some old 8mm videotapes and VHS videotapes to digital and put them on DVDs.
Thanks for your help!!!It has firewire?

Which firewire cable for new MacBook Pro and Canon HV20?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from my Canon HV20 camcorder (using FinalCut Express). The Canon instructions say to use a "DV cable" and I've learned that the MacBook Pro only has an "800 fire wire" port. Can someone give me the exact type of cable that I should get (even my local Apple Store couldn't help me).
Thanks!I'm surprised that the folks at the Apple Store couldn't guide you. You just need a firewire cable with the proper fw400 connector on one end and a fw800 connector on the other. Here's one source for both cables and adapters:

How do I transfer the data on my Lacie FW HD firewire to my New MacBook Pro
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro because my original PowerBook was stolen. A few years ago I bought and external Hard Drive with firewire ports. I went to transfer the data from the firewire external HD to the MacBook Pro and discovered that I didn't have the option for a firewire port. Is there an attachment I can buy to connect the firewire on the HD to the USB on the MacBook Pro? If there isn't, do you have any suggestions for getting the data from my external hard drive to the MacBook Pro?
If you can't find the right cable Sonnet make a handy converter you can use with your current cables.

Import video on newer macbook pro
I have a Macbook pro that doesn't have a Firewire 400 input - only Thunderbolt, Firewire 800, and USB
I'm trying to import video from my Canon video camera that has a 4 pin port.
I tried a 4 pin to 9 pin cable, but no avail.
Any ideas on how to import now from my camera?A 4 pin to 9 pin cable should work. Make sure your camera is plugged in to AC power (not batteries only).

3 most important tests for a new MacBook Pro?
What are the 3 most important tests that one should do regularly on a fine machine like the Macbook Pro?
thanks a lot!But in the spirt of tests you do want to use the disk utility to repair/verify the permissions.
I do this prior to installing anything and after...
you know, you really don't need to repair permissions anymore, unless you experience problems. Even after applying an update from apple, its not needed. At this stage of the OS, its more of a myth that you need to repair permissions.

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?
I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import. -

My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video cameras (Canon GL2 or Sony) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable. I've tried two different cables. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Is your DV camera plugged in to AC power (not batteries only)? When you step down from 9 pins to 4 pins, you lose the "power" pins.

You'll have to transfer them from the pc to the mac.

Connecting Canon HV30 to New Macbook pro with firewire 800
I just received new Macbook pro 2.8 that only has 9 pin firewire 800 connectivity. My previous IMac accepted my Canon HV30 HD video through 4-6 pin firewire 400 with ease, the new laptop will receive the video through 4-9 pin cable but the video color is severely distorted and unusable. Is there a problem with firewire 400 to 800 transfer compatibility?
Yeah, FW400 is compatible with FW800. Only need to find the conversion cable with the correct connectors.Try getting that first and connecting the two, to see if the Mac recognizes it and enables capture. Else visit the camera maker's site to check if they are providing Mac-specific software.

Importing iTunes library from old powerbook to new macbook pro
What is the best way to import my old itunes library (from my 10.4.7 powerbook) to my new macbook pro?
Thanks!I'm still having some trouble, can someone give me guidance? Here is what I did:
1. Connected old mac (PowerBook G4) to new mac (MacBook Pro) via firewire 800 and target mode.
2. Located "iTunes Music" folder on old Mac and pulled the entire folder into "iTunes Music" on the new Mac.
3. I restarted.
4. iTunes didn't find the new music, it does find the one song I've purchased using the new Mac. I think this makes sense, because now the folder structure has an embedded "iTunes Music" folder (from the old Mac) in my new mac's "iTunes Music" folder. The structure looks like:
-iTunes Music
----[folder for the one song I've purchased on the new mac]
----iTunes Music (this is the folder from the old mac)
---------[folders of music from the old mac]
5. So I went into the iTunes Music folder I just imported, selected all the music, and copied it one level up.
6. The result is on my new mac, my "iTunes Music" folder now contains all the music from the old mac, plus the one song I've puchased using the new mac.
7. I restarted my new mac. Restarted iTunes, but still the only song that's recognized is the one I've already purchased. The others aren't showing.
8. I've gone into preferences/advanced and confirmed I'm pointing at the right target folder.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?
