Putting 8 mm tapes on my computer? Can I?

We have an old camcorder that we play our 8 mm tapes on. I was wondering if it is possible to hook up that camcorder to our mac and download the footage like I can with my DV tapes? There must be a way, but I am not sure where to begin. There is no fire wire hook up on the camcorder. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

littlevish,
"Many photo stores will transfer them to DVD for you."
That's a good suggestion. However, if jkubesh is planning to do any editing in iMovie first, it's better to go the converter route.
DVDs are best suited as a final delivery format. Kind of the end of the line, finished product.
But if jkubesh is just looking to get a DVD version of what's on the old tape, what you propose is certainly a viable (and personal time saving) option.

  • Computer crashed, put hard drive in new computer, can't get all songs?

    Here is the story. Had 700+ itunes songs on hard drive. That computer crashed. Bought a new computer and pulled out the hard drive from the crashed one and put it into the new computer. Got it working but itunes only recognizes 178 of the 700+ itunes songs. Cannot get the library to open in anything other than Internet Explorer. Can someone please provide some guidance on what I might be able to do to fix this issue? Thanks!

    What a nightmare!
    How did you get the 178 songs into iTunes? Have you tried adding the missing ones?
    What do you mean by this?

    All the photographs stored on my computer ended up getting put on my iPhone. How can I remove them from the iPhone?

    Photos synced to your phone can only be removed from your phone the same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Connect your phone, iTunes running, & under the photos tab remove the checks for all albums/folders you do not want on your phone. Hit the apply/sync button & they will be removed from your phone.

    Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If not, nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Was this the first time your iPhone was connected to iTunes on any computer? If so, the first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes for the first time that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or eyeless device to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is not automatic, it must be manually selected.

    If you registered the software when you first installed it then you should be able to find the serial number available thru your Adobe account online.

  • I can't put songs from my other computer on my ipod

    I have 2 computers in my home (the family one and mine) and my computer I have downloaded like 80% of my itunes music from, but the cd-rom doesn't work for some reason. I want to get my cds on my ipod too (itunes doesn't have most of the music I have in cds, so I can't rebuy them... don't want to either. I'm low on money) and the family computer doesn't let me put my imported music on there. When I plug it in the family computer, it gives me an option to keep the songs on my ipod that I already have on there and erase all the stuff that are on my ipod and use only that computer to put stuff on my ipod. If I use the first one, I can't put stuff from the family computer on there. What do I do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!!!
    When the window comes saying "The ...iPod is synced with another iTunes library...do you want to..." Just hit cancel. Your iPod is now set to "manually manage movies and songs"
    Now you can drag and drop whatever songs you want onto your iPod. I would go ahead and set the setting on the other computer to "manually manage..." also in order for it not to erase the songs you put on there from the other computer.
    You can go to Devices>iPod>Settings There are four options toward the bottom of the page. One of those is "manually...." Check that box.

  • I purchased OSX 10.8 can I put it on my wifes computer too even though she has a different apple ID?

    I purchased OSX 10.8 and it is on 2 of my computers can I put it on my wifes computer too even though she has a different apple ID?

    The OS X license states that you can install it on as many computers as YOU own and control. So, technically speaking, your wife needs to get her own license; however, if you both use the same Apple ID......
    FWIW, the license is not transferable, so if you sell/gift your computer, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system (or the buyer will encounter major problems such as not being able to reinstall the OS if necesssary).

    If you registered the product with Adobe the number should be in your account.
    You will need to come here via your web browser

    Then click on the red Adobe logo (top let on the page) and choose manage account. You should then be able to browse your purchase history and registered products.

  • Old computer died, got a new computer, can i put whats on my ipod...

    Old computer died, got a new computer, can i put whats on my ipod now into my library on my new computer?
    I have looked at the "how to" for transfering a library to a new computer but that seems to be how to do it if your old computer is still working and you have the luxury of planning to move the library.
    All I have from the music that was on my old computer is what is already synced into my ipod right now. Can/How do i get this into the iTunes I just downloaded???????

    There's an answer to your question but first it's time for a bit of a lecture - if it makes a difference, I don't feel any better about this than you do. : - (
    I hope you take this unfortunate state of affairs as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
    Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
    Anyways, that's the lecture. You should find a resolution to your problem in this article at wired.com.
    Good Luck! But once you have the music back on your computer, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!
    P.S.
    If you want to get a bit of a "bigger picture" on back-ups, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea and have a look at this article on the PC World web site and this Microsoft support page .
