Sony NEX 5n on the new iMac - Videos not there?

Hi folks, can anyone tell me if this is a known issue and if there is a solution to this problem... I bought the iMac for the main reason of having a good powerful machine to view and edit HD MTS Video files taken from my new Sony NEX 5n Camera, which has really good HD Video... my older 2008 mac wouldnt play these unless I installed a plugin from panasonic as given to me by someone on this site which worked very well.
So, I've set up my new mac now, sold my older one and installed the MTS plugin again on this... but when I plug in my memory card and plug the camera to mac directly the video files are no where to be seen, but Ive checked and they are on the memory card and playable when using the camera to find and view them?
Anyone know why this is happening? It's obvioudly a problem with the mac as it's never done this before and they showing up through the PC?

OK, I've tried it and they don't show in Image Capture, but it's showing something in iPhoto, which I don't use...
I've attached a screen shot?... when I import one using this it converts it to a .mov file and looses its quality neither of which I want...
I want to be able to use the raw MTS file...
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks

The New iMac Video

The new iMac video is either missing or damaged. Someone should tend to this.

It plays for me as well but takes some time to load and I have a High-Speed connection.

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
Setting up home sharing

I recently upgraded my old powerbook to an iMac. I've dumped the files of my backup drive into the new iMac. Is there a way to have access to all the files (new and old computers) when logged on as the same user vs. logging in and out to access each?

I am new to posting to this support community but have often referred to it for answers. So thank you all who've contributed; you've been a great help!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

I downloaded a ringdown direct from itunes to my iphone 4S. When I go to settings/sounds/ringtone, the new ringtone is not there! I have downloaded it twice, but still not there. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

HT1539 I have the new imac and it does not have a dvd drive. How can I download digital copy of a movie?

Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?

You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

Can the new iMac be used as a display for a Macbook?

I have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display and I wanted to know if the new iMacs which were announced yesterday will allow me to connect my Macbook to it and use it as a display.
I know the new iMacs are not retina displays but it would be great to have additional monitor space.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, via Target Display Mode.

How do I burn cd's on the new iMac?

I have heard that the new iMac does not have the ability to receive a cd or dvd. How will I burn images onto a cd of the photos of my artwork? I have to do this often when I apply to juried shows, send samples of my work to galleries, apply for commissions, etc.
I am presently on a 2007 iMac which is using Mountain Lion....OSX 10.8.2
Thanks.

I have heard that the new iMac does not have the ability to receive a cd or dvd.
I would purchase this instead. It can be equipped with 2 optical drives, BUILT-IN.

Further, you can change out hard drives in 60 seconds with no tools and have any type of display you wish.

How can a video editor use an NTSC studio monitor on the new iMac without a Firewire 400 port?

Looking at the new iMacs (hungrily) and wondering how I will be able to continue using my Sony DSR-11 and NTSC monitor in the absence of any Firewire 400 port. I suppose there may be cables that will allow me to use the Firewire 800 port and am thinking they may be difficult to locate.

No they're not - they're available from many sources; i.e. I bought a FW 400 > 800 cable when I bought my iMac last August (at an authorized local reseller). Just google Firewire 400 > 800 and you'll get plenty of results. You can also opt for an adapter if you prefer. Both are also available at the Apple store online.

Is the new iMac a step forward for video editing?

Hi,
Do the changes in the new iMacs make them better video editing machines?
Thanks

Faster system, more RAM (which can be added to the previous model) and new graphics system (which won't affect graphics editing much if at all). That's basically what I see. Since I have no complaints about video editing with my year old iMac I'm not rushing out to buy.

Is the new iMac really faster for video coding?

I recently bought the new Imac 27 inches, 3.2 GHz. I mainly need this speed to edit and to code my bluray movies from African safaries journeys
Until last year use an 2008 iMac. Editing was fine but coding was very long (up to 6 hours for 40' with the best performace parameters und 2 passes)- I use Adobe Première.
With my new Imac editing is more convenient but coding ist not much shorter (up to 5 hours 30' for 40' with the same parameters). I was exepecting a much shorter coding time.What the purpose of nice marketing specs like high speed und turbo boost if they cannot really be applied in specific applications like video coding.
Or am I mistaken?
Regards
Patrice

Hi Patrice,
Within Apple’s slim new 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs are NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, based on our new Kepler-class architecture, which helps make them up to 60 percent faster than last year’s models. This follows news in June that Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display uses Kepler GeForce GPUs.
The new 27-inch iMac offers the GeForce GTX 660M as its base GPU, with even faster GeForce GTX 675MX or GeForce GTX 680MX GPUs available. The 21.5-inch model comes with the GeForce GT 640M GPU, with an available upgrade to the GeForce GT 650M GPU.
http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/10/big-imac-news-less-heft-more-kepler/
So, any Apps that use the GPU to assist GPU should be much faster.
Though I don't see it listed here, it may be too new, I suspect it may be supported...

We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.

the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy
