New SONY and can't upload to iMovie

I have had no trouble uploading from my old SONY (mini-DVD tape) onto iMovie HD, via a Firewire.
Then I buy a new SONY HD (HDR-SR10E) which has a hard drive and looks the business.
But now I can't load up the footage onto my MacBook Pro. There is no Firewire port on the SONY - the only connection seems to be a USB. When connected via USB, my Mac will not see any files to download. The disc that comes with the SONY does not load any software onto my Mac.
I've searched on the web, but no luck. At PC World they were no help.
Anyone know how to get my video from my new SONY camcorder onto my Mac? So frustrating. The SONY instruction manual is next to useless.

  • HT1420 I tried to authorize my new computer and can't find the link anywhere?

    I tried to authorize my new computer and can't find the link anywhere? Also iTunes only recovered the songs I purchased from the iStore, what about the rest?

    If the menu bar is not visible, hit CTRL+B then Store > Autorize this computer
    iTunes Store keeps a purchase history for your Apple ID and allows ypou to redownload purchases. Any other media add to iTunes from outside the store (CDs, etc..) are not uploaded to iTunes unless you have purchased iTunes Match. Those items you will need to add from your backups.

        hibob99,
    Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I know there are to many passwords out there now days to keep track of them all. Are you looking to reset the Verizon.net e-mail address? If so, you would need to reach out to Verizon Communication by calling 800-837-4966. Please keep us posted.

    I got a new iPad and can't get my music or videos from the cloud or iTunes. Every time I download all my music & a video then click on music it says I don't have any music & I can purchase music on iTunes. I go to iTunes click purchased and download again. It shows everything downloaded so I open music and get the same message - no music. The same happens with videos. Am I missing a setting or something?

    I have existing Exchange accounts setup on my iPhone and iPad to access my work email.  I'm trying to do the same on my new iMac and can't get it to work.  I have it setup the same as my iPad and it asks me for my password over and over...any suggestions?

    Hi mwatts18,
    As a preliminary troubleshooting step, you should reference the information in the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    I would especially suggest that you delete the account and re-add it, making sure that you are entering the correct password when you add the account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

    Welcome James!
    For no cost, you can try the open-source productivy suite LibreOffice. I don't have any AW files here to test but there are reliable reports that LibreOffice can open at least some AW files:

  • Ever since the last update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't import my HTML file. How do I fix this?

    ever since the last firefox update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't add my HTML file of my bookmarks

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Profile File Invalid" and can't upload to Youtube form Elements v.4- ????

    Problem with Adobe Premiere elements v.4 running on vista. When I try to upload directly to youtube I get a message" ! Profile File Invalid" and can't upload. I have to save the file to PC then upload. Can you help?

    As Steve points out, YouTube made major changes to their accounts and the handling of those, when they partnered with Google, about the time that PrE 7 was in full-swing. It is likely that they have made more changes, so even PrE 8's direct upload might now be obsolete.
    Now, PrPro has some great (for the moment) YouTube Presets for Export, it does not have that direct link for uploading, that PrE does. Still, either program should be able to do the Export/Share to a YouTube-compliant file, that can be manually uploaded.
    Just be aware that YouTube changes their specs. very often, and that they will also re-encode anything that you upload. I always recommend that a user check the published specs. for files on a monthly basis, just to see if YouTube has made a major change, that might affect the specs. of the files that they want - at that moment in time.
    YouTube is a "moving target," in many ways. They are so dynamic, because they are still defining that niche on the Internet.
    Good luck,

  • I downloaded a new album and can see the photos in it.  But when I try to email one of them as an attachment, my latest downloaded album is nowhere to be found.

    Right after I download pictures into a new album and can go to that album and see the photos, why don't they show up when I try to attach photos from that album to an email?  This has happened twice before and after a week or more they finally show up as a source for an attachment to email.

    Try restarting the computer

    flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    thanks for helping.  I have windows 7, internet explorer.  recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect.  not seeing any error messages.  video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week.  not sure what could have changed .  I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them.  no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload.  the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe.  when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version.  my settings say the player is enabled

    You should be able to transfer the backup of your old computer, however. And if you don't have one before you do anything else go buy an external drive and let Time Machine automatically create backups every hour.
    iTunes sync on an iPhone is one way, computer to iPhone only. You can copy purchased music and apps to your new computer by connecting the phone (after Authorizing iTunes). Don't sync, but choose "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu.
    If you have contacts and calendar make ure you have one contact and one event on the new macbook before syncing or it will erase the information on your phone.
