Mac to camera to TV??

I can't afford an external monitor so I wanted to connect the computer to the camera, then the camera to a TV - which I read will work in another post here. My question is this: I shot my footage in 16:9 format with a canon XL2-Can I use a different camera to make this connection. I have a cheap $200 miniDV that I'd like to use rather than the XL2.
Also, Could I use this cheap camera to capture footage from the XL2 or from any other camera?

Yes to your questions, but the tv has got to be able to display 16x9, otherwise you're going to be looking at a whole lot of tall things.

My 2012 Mac Mini came with a SSD and with Yosemite, can I add a SSHD and also migrate everything from a Macbook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.5?

Hi Apple Community,
Today I received a refurbished 2012 i5 Mac Mini that I purchased via Amazon. The Mac Mini came with a 256gb Samsung SSD only installed. The Mac Mini also has 10.10.2 Yosemite.
I am planing on ordering an "OWC Data Doubler Mounting Kit" to add another drive onto the Mac Mini.
(http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/)
I also plan on getting a second drive which would be a 1tb SSHD Black Western Digital (16GB SSD) 2.5 SATA III (6.0GB/s) 5400RPM drive.
Now here is where I am a very confused and concerned. What I essentially want to do is use Migration Assistant to completely migrate what I have on a 2012 i7 Macbook Pro's 750gb HDD to the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD drive. I want every file and setting to be placed on my new Mac Mini just the way it is on the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is however using 10.7.5 Lion while my new Mac Mini is using 10.10.2 Yosemite.
What makes me confused is, if I migrate everything from the Macbook Pro onto the 1tb SSHD, would I still be able to benefit by having the 256gb Samsung SSD in the Mac Mini? For instance, would the Mac Mini still be able to boot up super fast and use the SSD to write and read programs very fast? Or is it because I am migrating everything from my Macbook Pro's HDD onto the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD, my Mac Mini will not be able to use the speed benefits of the SSD?
Another concern is, will I be able to use Yosemite or will I be stuck with 10.7.5 Lion? I would only like Yosemite. I do not mine if Lion is removed from my new Mac Mini.

UPDATE:
Hi again,
I made more research on raid and now I am considering not to raid at all.
Raid0 seems extremely risky because I do not know how the SSD and SSHD would react together.
And Raid1 seems like it would not be able to function the way I would like to store my files. [The SSD is 256gb and SSHD is 1tb, there is no point in raid1]
I think I will just have to add the second drive and use it without raid. I will mostly save media files such as movies, pictures, and music. And for everything else, save it onto the SSD's storage.

Yes. You will have to reformat it with the disk utility though.

Mac mini camera issue

Hi, Just trying to get a mic camera combo to work on the mini. Any cameras that definitely work? I have 3 that don't. Mic is the problem.

We've used the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac, with camera and mike that works fine. We bought it in 2010, so it may not be available new today (although maybe thru ebay, amazon, or others that still have stock). If I was buying new I would consider the appropriate Logitech version that they sell for macs now, too.

Unable to upload photo to Mac from Camera

Camera is Canon SX160 IS; cannot upload photos to Mac from camera. "Connection of software for another Canon camera, etc.". Yale

Hi Mfyss!
So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know the computer operating system you're using (Windows XP/Vista/7/8 or Mac 10.x). Any error messages or other details you'd like to give will also help the Community better understand your issue.
Thanks and have a great day!

Display is using my Mac's camera... not its own!

So I've got a new 24" LED cinema display and everything is connected properly. However, for some reason, whenever I go to use the iSight camera, it uses my Mac's camera instead of the display's! The USB cord is connected and everything! Ideas? Thanks.

In ichat go into preferences, then go to camera. You will be able to change which camera you want to view (either display or macbook pro). For photo both just click the camera in the menu bar. You will have the same choices as ichat. If neither of these show up restart your computer while being plugged into the your screen.
Hello, Tylko
For clarity to OP and other readers, I offer the following regarding this part of your suggestion:
For photo both ... You will have the same choices as ichat.
That is not true on my Mac.
My Photo Booth ONLY uses the first connected camera it recognizes that is not already in use. Clicking the camera in the my Photo Booth menu bar when multiple cameras are connected results in NO DIFFERENCE from the same action when only one camera is detected.
Even when multiple cameras that work properly with other apps are connected, Photo Booth does not allow a camera choice on my PowerMac G5 no matter where I click.
While it is true that iChat offers a choice of cameras, if what you post is true, there is a major difference between your Photo Booth for iNtel Mac and the Photo Booth that runs on my PowerPC Mac.

Which Mac OS came with each iMac?

Wondering if there is a way to determine exactly which Mac OS came with one of my older iMacs (7,1 Intel Core 2 Duo)
Or for any other Mac released within the past several years.
With 5 Macs here, I find that I am a bit confused about which disk came with which machine.
Thanks

Cannot install updates for CS5 photoshop on Mac, including Camera Raw 6.7

I have been trying to use the update function on CS5 so that I can update Photoshop and Camera Raw so that I can work with RAW files from my camera. Though the files appear to download, I keep receiving error messages that they failed to install and should try later. This keeps happening over and over. I am using a Mac Pro (from mid 2010) and have already updated to OS X Yosemite. Grateful for any help anyone can provide!

Mac Compatible Cameras?

I'm looking to buy a digital camera and hoping to avoid an expensive mistake. I know Casio is not a good choice because of it's video format.
Are there other clinkers to steer clear of?
Are there any that shine?
Bob

Bob,
I have found that the Kodak easyshare series has been a winner for me. The only problem I have found is that the Easyshare printer dock plus no longer works with iPhoto6. To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried any other camera, so I really don't have anything to compare it to, but they work well.

Transfer images from mac to camera

Hi, im trying to transfer images from my macbook pro back to my camera. When i hook up the camera the only place i can see it is in i photo and it wont allow me to transfer in that program. The camera does not sure up on my desktop as a flash drive would.... how do i open the camera in a finder window that will allow me to click and drag photos back to the camera? is this even possible? im using my macbook pro with osx snow leopard
thanks for the help

Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a USB card reader. it should then be mounted on the desktop in the Finder, and you copy images onto it. No bets on whether the camera will display them as expected, though. It's generally safest not to make any modifications at all to the contents of a camera card while it's connected to a Mac. The result of doing so is often that the camera won't be able to read or use the card.

Why did Mac delete camera memory card?

We used a card reader that had been used on a PC, and a camera memory card that had been used on a PC. A pro master GB compact flash. The photos were put on iPhoto. When the card was put into a reader on a PC after that, it refused to let us see the photos. Now back on the Mac, it says the card is not recognizable.
Why does Mac refuse to allow you to use things on a PC? How do we get the photos back and in the future how do we avoid this?

Hi Terence
I just thought I would let you know that I followed your link and the second video where the guy cuts a piece of card and inserts it into the slot worked for me at only the second attempt. This retrieved the HD Card after it was completely lodged in the CD Drive and invisible.
Thank you so much for the link....you have probably saved me about £100 and a long trip to an Apple Store.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Albert.

My Mac G4 came unplugged while running and now when I start it up all I get is a continuous reboot loop.

While sliding my Mac G4 tower out from under the desk it came unplugged. It was running at the time. After plugging it back in all I get is a continuous reboot loop. I have tried the Shift and the Command Option P R boots to no avail. What am I missing here? I have had no problems in the past with this system. I am running Panther.

Are you using an Apple keyboard or something else. It is rather common for non-Apple boards, especially those pulled from a PC, to not respond to the traditional Apple startup key command combos.
Take the computer off wall power again then press and hold the power button for about 20 seconds. Then restore power and try a normal start. That worked for me when I had a similar failure to start with my G4 MDD.
If you have never replaced the internal backup battery ("PRAM" battery) it is, by, now surely extremely dead and it could not preserve the needed start parameters when power was unexpectedly cut. If you get the computer going, consider installing a new PRAM battery so you won't replay today's issues. tomorrow. The batteries are cheap and replacing one is a three-minute at-home job:

Flash Player 10.1 beta 2, MAC and camera access

Anyone else having this issue? If you go to a site that has a swf, which wants to access your camera it gives you the popup but you can't click the popup? Try this site: http://blog.soulwire.co.uk/flash/actionscript-3/webcam-motion-detection-tracking/ or http://coenraets.org/blog/2010/01/creating-a-custom-component-and-skins-in-flex-4/
I am running:
Flash Player 10.1 Beta 2 Debug version
MAC OSX 10.5.8
Firefox 3.5

Hi, Oh, ok. I wasn't sure, some of the users here on the forum install it thinking it will help solve their problems with Flash Player. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.pdf This link will explain where to report issues that end users experience with beta. That would help them. The forum here wouldn't help with that since Adobe already
has a site set up for feedback on the beta. Just thot I would mention that, but you'll see that in that pdf article.
The more feedback of issues from end users the better. Makes for a smooth final release, so thanks for helping. A lot
easier to get all of the "bugs" out now than have to deal with them after the f.r.
Thanks,

Mac to Camera connection problems

I am a professional photographer and having an ongoing problem connecting my Canon EOS-IDS MKII camera to my MacPro (2x3Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) running MacOS 10.5.5 for tethered shooting. I am using EOS Utility 2.4.0.3. I launch EOS Utility and then turn on the camera which is connected via a Granite Digital firewire cable (with LED) so I can tell that the connection is good. I then get an error message that EOS Utility 'Faiied to connect with camera. Check connections'
So far these the things I have done to troubleshoot the problem:
1) downloaded and installed the latest version of EOS Utility
2) tried each firewire port on my mac and the one on my 30" cinema display
3) tried three different firewire cables including a brand new Granite Digital cable
4) taken the camera to the local Canon service center, where they tested the firewire port on the camera and replaced the 'PCB interface' and '1394 connector'
Despite all of this the problem persists... Not sure if this is the best place to post this problem...or even if the issue is Mac-related, but any help on finding a solution would be much appreciated.

cool... I should add that I've been shooting tethered with this particular camera for over a year...without any problems... probably 2 or 3 sessions a week on average...with all the predicable strains on cables/plugs/ports. The connection issue only started to pop up (initially every now and then and then gradually with more frequency) a month or so ago... so on the whole I'd say set up has given me very good reliability/value for money. An extended warranty is definitely worth considering given that inevitably the physical strains on the camera/cable link will take their toll.... depending what you do with it of course...
good luck
