Sony TG3 / ADVHC / Memory stick / Disc Image

Hi there!
I have a Sony TG3 (love it!) and iMovie 08 happily converts the ADVHC files. Of course once converted the files are HUGE so I am going to start deleting the originals after I've burned the movie to DVD. The thing is I want to keep the original Memory Disc files in their original format and after reading that I could simply save the Memory Stick as a Disk Image I tried this and it worked a treat!
Here's the problem; the mounted Disc Image is seen by iMovie and allows me to import just as if it were the original Memory Stick (great!) but the Disk Image is simply called 'Untitled' and I am unable to rename it. What I would like to be able to do is to have all my Memory Sticks backed up as Disc Images on a hard drive but I will of course need to be able to identify them. How do I rename the Disk Image, or is this something that I need to do when I am creating the Disk Image? If so, how do I do this?
I also realise that this entire situation could be simplified by using 4GB Memory Sticks and backing the Disc Image up to individual DVDs but I have a couple of 8GB and 16GB Memory Sticks too, and besides I think it would be neater to have everything on one drive.
Any help appreciated, and many thanks!

After much fiddling I have worked out that I was trying to save the mounted Disc Image instead of the .dmg file (silly mistake!). Turns out that I can bung all the .dmg files on a seperate drive and rename them anything I want as it's just the mounted image that calls itself 'Untitled' by default. I can live with that though.
Would you advise me to use 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo cards in my TG3 instead of 8GB or 16GB? From a back up point of view I am guessing that the 4GB is easier since it could be backed up to DVD but I welcome any thoughts from other users.
Many thanks!

Director programs on memory sticks/discs?

Interested in hearing any good or bad experiences with
running Director apps from USB drives /memory sticks? Any specific
issues relating to autostart procedures, performance, etc.

As far as the computer is concerned, its just another drive.
You need to
be concerned about the speed of the stick. They're not all
the same.

How I can download my pictures from memory stick pro duo to my mac?

I purchase my first iMac a couple months ago and bassically everything is new for me.
I want to start dowloading pictures and videos to my iPhoto but I notice that my video camera memory card fits in the reader I purchase iVI to be able to transfer all my videos to my mac and honestly really hard and lots of steps but now from my sony camera, the memory stick pro duo doesn't fit in the reader so I purchase a Tangus adapter and the memory card fits in it but when I connecterd to the USB port noting happend, do I have the right adater? Which is the best way to do all the downloading video and picture process easier...
My question is: How can I start downloading all my pictures from my memory stick pro duo?

Have you tried connecting your camera directly to the iMac using the correct cable? If you provide more information about the camera you are using we can provide recommendations on which cable to use if you don't already have one.
If the Tangus adapter is working then you should be able to open a Finder menu and see the memory card listed in the left column under the 'Devices' section. If you click on it the files should show up. If you launch the iPhoto application it should see the memory stick and give you the opportunity to load the images. Depending on how your preferences are set, iPhoto will automatically launch whenever you connect the camera or a memory stick that has photos on it.
In order to find out whether your iMac sees the Tangus adapter pull down the Apple menu and select 'About this Mac...' When the new window opens click on the 'More Info...' button, then click on the 'System Report...' button. A new window will open listing all of the attributes for your system. Click on the 'USB' section in the Hardware column located on the left side of the window. This will display the USB device tree which includes all of the USB devices connected internally and externally to your iMac. Do you see an entry for your Tangus adapter? You can click on each device to obtain more detailed information if you aren't sure which device is which. If the Tangus adapter isn't visible then the adapter may be bad. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the adapter to a different USB port, then press the command-R keys to refresh the USB device tree. If the adapter appears then you may have had a bad connection or a problem with the port. If it still doesn't appear then test the adapter on another computer or take it back to the place of purchase to exchange the adapter.

How do you import photos from a disc on to a memory stick

HT204384 Can I use a memory stick pro from sony with the SDXC slot?

Is it possible to use the Memory Stick Pro from Sony in the SDXC slot on the MacBook Pro?

How could anyone "take it wrong"? Anyone can see at a glance that you're raging mad, shouting at the top of your lungs and ignoring the terms of use you agreed to abide by in posting here, all because you haven't read the guide that came with your computer and you're trying to make it do something it can't. Your SD card slot is for SD cards.

I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot. I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

Thanks Eric for responding.
I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death).
One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
Thanks again.

Sony memory stick pro duo

I recently purchased the HP dm4-2070us. Does the multimedia port work with the sony memory stick pro duo? The adaptor does not lock-in or read the card? Thoughts?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It does not read Memory Stick card family and the Card reader on the Notebook supports only the following digital card formats -
MultiMediaCard
Secure Digital Card
Secure Digital High Capacity Memory Card (standard and large size)
If you still want to read a memory stick pro duo, just buy a USB memory card reader which are available for very cheap in market which would would serve your purpose.

You can drag and drop (this will result in a compressed JPG) or hold the alt key and drag and drop (this will copy the original). You can also select the pictures and choose Export from the File menu.

How do i import photos/videos from sony memory stick pro duo stick to my imac

I want to import photos from my Sony memory stick pro duo to iMac. My imac has SD card reader but not sure whether it reads photos from memory stick pro..
i bought this iMac in May 2011. I believe this model doesn't support Memory stick pro..can some one clarify ..thanks.

The short answer is.. No.
You need one of these...
... Or if your Camera allows for it, you can connect your camera to your Mac via mini USB cable. iPhoto should open automatically once it detects that a Digital Camera has been connected.

IPhoto Pics - Sony ProDuo Memory Stick Problem

I have a Mac mini. Using a Sandisk Micromate Reader to plug a Sony 4 GB ProDuo Memory Stick into the USB port, I transferred ~200 jpegs from iPhoto to the memory stick's DCIM folder and could see them just fine via my computer after the transfer. But when I mailed the memory stick back to my son, he not only couldn't see any of those pictures I'd downloaded--but also could no longer see the pictures he'd taken and sent me. He says the memory stick appears empty, but I know it's not. What does he/I need to do so he can see them both on his Sony Cyber-Shot camera and a computer? Thanks.

This is not an iPhoto issue but a general operation issue or a Sony issue
In general camera's require a very specific format for their memory and if there is some small error in that the camera does not see the photos - If you want to send photos to him I suggest taht you simply export those photos to a desktop folder and drag that folder to a cleanly formatted memory stick = he should be able to load those onto his computer -- he will not be able to see them on his camera - to do that you need to work with Sony support to get the required format exactly correct

How can i insert sony memory stick duo sd,sorry for my french.

I can not insert my merory stick duo in my macbook air 13"

The current 13" MacBook Air provides an SD card reader that reads SD type memory cards.
The Sony Memory Stick is an altogether different form of flash memory that the MBA is not designed to read directly. You will have to use a USB Memory Stick reader, purchased separately, and insert it into the USB port.
