Transfer Sony DV Cassettes to Mac

Hi. I have a Sony Digital Video Camera Recorder Mini DV (Tape, not disk) Model DCR-PC105. I am connecting to my Apple Mac (iDVD '08) using a 4pin-6pin firewire cable. I would like to know how I can transfer video from the tape directly to my computer (not burn a DVD) as I want to compile a library of video on my mac, edit and then burn edited portions onto a DVD. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. David

Hi Klaus - Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am unable to import into iMovie as it appears that my tape camcorder is not supported by iMovie 8. Do you know any work around to transfer my tape so that I can get it onto iMovie 8 from my sony camcorder? Thanks. David

Transfer minidiscs and cassettes onto mac

I am using a macbook pro 13" 2009 model and am trying to transfer mini discs and cassettes onto my mac. What programme and leads do I need to do this?

The Apple article listed above is a little misleading for some computers depending on model. The cable required has a miniature TRS (tip-ring-sleeve, just like an iPod headphone) on one end, and splits into two "phono" (RCA) plugs at the other (the one that's Red or a Red Ring is Right channel). You plug the TRS into the MacBook Pro's audio input; it won't go "all the way in"...some have SEPARATE headphone out jack and a combo digital/analog input jack labeled with a circle and two triangles pointing inward.
The best audio quality is if you can plug the RCA plugs directly into the output of the cassette deck (or MD player), then crank up the output level of the cassette or MiniDisc (if it has an output level control) until it's almost at the maximum on the meter on the loudest musical passages.
If you're going through your stereo receiver, its TAPE MONITOR buttons may be turning off the output going to your Mac.

Transfer old audio cassettes to my mac desktop

I have a dozen audio cassettes from 1978-1985 that i would like to transfer to cd or file format to preserve the voices.
My desktop mac is two years old and runs os x 10.9.5.
What is the easiest way to do this?
i read that if my mac has a 3.5 mm line-level input that i could connect a cassette play directly to my mac.
Does my mac have it?
what is the easiest way to transfer the audio cassettes? do i want then in wave format?

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Can I transfer my iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone?

I got a new iPhone 5s recently and unfortunately my backup on my previous phone wasn't up to date. That phone has been wiped clean and is long gone now. I also have a Mac and have all my recent iMessages up to date on my Mac. (All archived) The iMessages that show on my new phone are old and I want to see if there is a way to transfer the iMessages from my Mac to my phone in order for it to be up to date. I understand that backing it up to the iCloud would have been the easiest way to go about it, but I believe that my last backup didn't complete because of a lack of space and I got a new phone before fixing that problem. Any help would be great! I would also like to do this for the Notes app as well.

Sorry, no. There is no way to restore those iMessages or Notes without a backup.

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

Hi! I want to transfer my old mails from mac book pro to iPad 2, Please help me on this.

Did you select the Pages app to sync to the iPad? Do you know how to do that or do you auto sync and rely on that only?

Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.

All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
Good luck

How do I transfer Notes from my Outlook Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6)? I am using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

Hi,
I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.

Finally figured it out...
1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
Anyways... problem solved for now...
ciao...

How do I transfer my music from my mac mini running mountain lion to iPad 2. I have ICloud running, why are they not automatically pushed to the ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I do it without deleting everything on the IPad2?

I have a new MacMini onto which I have installed music files. I want to transfer them to my IPad2 . I have ICloud working properly, or so I thought, so why are these files not appearing on my Ipad2? Do I need to use ITunes? If so, how do I sync without erasing what is already on the IPad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the procedure for syncing music to the iPad.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
iCloud does not transfer the music on the Mac to the iPad unless you download it again on the iPad. iTunes Match may be what you are thinking of and you have to subscribe to that feature for a fee.
You have to sync the music that is already in your iTunes library to the iPad using iTunes. You can turn on Automatic Downloads on both devices for music and when you download music on one device it will download to the other device.
I get the feeling that you have never synced the iPad with iTunes before but you already have content on the iOad and are getting a message that the iPad will be erased if you sync with iTunes. If that is true, you need to transfer all iPad content into iTunes before you sync. This will help you with that.

TS1501 How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

Where are these movies? what format do they have?
You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

How to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it using mac but what happen was opposite!

how to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it few times but what happen was the opposite.

If you want to sync your iTunes library on your Mac to your iPad ....
Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side under the devices heading. Then click on the Music tab - and select the music that you want to transfer. Does your iTunes window look like this - with Sync Music checked and the playlists or albums checked as well like in the photo below?
When you click on the apps tab do you have Sync Apps checked and all of the apps in the window below checked to sync as well?
If you select all of the items under the different tabs in iTunes - music, apps, photos. etc. - when you sync - all of the selected content should sync over to the iPad.

How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

You could email it to yourself or if you are talking about lots of photos:
You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device.
