Trouble uploading movie from camcorder

Hey,
I have a camcorder and the correct cable to transfer the movies to my macbook but for some reason when I turn on the camera and connect it to my laptop the import window does not pop up. I don't know if it's relevant but my wireless internet is not working right now. If somebody could help me I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I think you're going to need to provide us with more information before any of us can help you. Exactly what brand & model camcorder do you have? Are you using a USB cable? Are you certain it can download movies via USB? Many DV camcorders have a USB port, but it can only be used to download still pictures not movies. What application are you using to import the movie? If it's Apple's own iMovie, you might post your question in the appropriate iMovie forum... Are you using Windows or Mac OS X? (Even that detail is not clear.) Are you up-to-date with Mac OS X and QuickTime?

  • I am having trouble uploading movies from iPhone to Mac

    My wife shot a short (4 minute) video on her iPhone 5 and it will not upload to her MacBook Air. It said it was too large. Any suggestions please?

    You might have to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer it over wifi to your Mac, or use 3rd party software such as PhoneView to transfer it.

    How can I upload movies from Sony pj580v camcorder to use with imovie 11?

    Transfer it to your computer and import into iTunes, make sure it's in a compatible format. Then simply sync with the iPad. If you have a camera connection kit and you know the footage is compatible you can connect it directly.

  • Satellite A350-07C - How to transfer movies from camcorder?

    Hi Everyone. Just wanted to know if anyone knows how I can upload movies from my Sony DCR-TRV19E that has USB and DV iLink slots into my Toshiba Satellite A350/07C?
    My understanding is that Sony does not support USB drivers for Windows Vista and 7 (and why not!?) which leaves me the Firewire which in this case is the iLink (DV) slot on the camcorder. Where do I stick this in the Toshiba? Does my Toshiba have a different look Firewire? I know that in my Device Manager I have something that is called ieee 1394 OHCI Complient. But where excatly is it on my model? Is it the little slot on the left that looks like the DV of my camcorder (it has a lable on the top that says EX on it)?
    Or is it through the PCI card slot that is on the left side (that also says on it EX)?
    Please help me?

    i have good experience with Sony camcorder and I can recommend you to use firewire cable.
    You are right this is this small DV interface. On your notebook there should be the same on the left notebook side.
    It is the first port placed near the USB port.
    Both devices have small 4 pin slot so buy right 4 to 4 pin cable.
    When you connect the cam just switch it and it should be recognized automatically.
    If you need more help let me know.

  • HT1386 I AM HAVING TROUBLE UPLOADING PHOTOS FROM PC TO IPAD.

    I AM HAVING TROUBLE UPLOADING PHOTOS FROM PC TO IPAD. I GET SOME PHOTOS UPLOADED AND THEN TRY TO ADD MORE.. AND ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES DISAPPEAR! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. CANT I ADD NEW PHOTOS ONCE I  UPLOAD ANY!

    If you REALLY want to use the stock Photos (I wouldn't as it has major problems as is also explained both at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/all-one-photo-viewer-roundup-70-price-drop-bes t-image-viewer and in the https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3812013?start=345&tstart=0 thread here - look directly at the first two messages), you need to ceate subfolders in parallel to the original ones. Then, the previously synched pics won't disappear.
    But, again, I do NOT recommend using the built-in Photos. Using third-party apps like Photo Manager Pro is the way to go until Apple fix the issues with Photos.

  • I am trying to upload movies from my itunes to my iphone and it will only upload a select few. Why?

    Help! I am trying to upload movies from my iTunes to my iPhone and it will only upload a select few. Why?

    You are using File->Add File (or Folder) to Library, right?
    Make sure that you also look at the various categories of content stored on the library:  turn on the sidebar (Ctrl+S keys toggle) and click the categories to see if the content shows in the content window of iTunes.
    It could be you are trying to add a video/movie in a format iTunes does not accept because it cannot play it or work with it.  (And yes, if iTunes cannot add it to the library, it should absolutely report an error message rather than leave you wondering and drop the command.)

  • How to upload movies from ipad to computer

    how to upload movies from ipad to computer

    How does one copy movies which appear in the Videos App to a computer?  The article linked in Diavonex's post only describes how to copy videos and photos which appear in the Photos App.  I have movies on the iPad (visible only in the Videos App) which I synced from another computer and I can not sync them back to iTunes on my current computer.  If I try to turn on the Movie sync, it will erase those movies on the iPad and copy the ones on my computer to the iPad.  I do not have the old Mac from which the movies were originally synced, and I don't have the original movie files. These are not downloaded movies, they are movies I created myself and transcoded to .m4v format and synced to the iPad.  How can I copy/ transfer these movies off the iPad?

  • Unable to capture movie from camcorder.

    I had tried to capture a movie from HDV camcorder for the first time since I updated to 10.5,
    and got a green and pink image from iMovie. It looked like signals been mixed or track is off.
    Then I tried with Quicktime and it seemed like working in the beginning but at the end of the clip
    an error occurs saying unable to save the movie. FCP HD crashes trying to do capture either.
    Anyone with similar symptoms? Any troubleshoot check list anyone?

    yes, my powerbook is too slow to capture at full resolution, so I've tried with smaller size w/
    'better' setting, i believe w/.264 encoding, but still i got an error. I don't know why this happen.
    i had no problem before upgrading to 10.5. i checked the mini DV tape for any defect playing
    it back and capture but it's not the cause. I was able to capture same tape with same camcorder
    on my new iMac D2C .1.5.1 at my office. perhaps something to do with G4 or PPC version of OS...

  • Upload .mov from iphone to mac

    I've had trouble getting .mov files playing on my iMac after syncing from my iPhone 4.  They don't play under VLC, Quicktime, etc.
    But now I've found that emailing the movie to my account on the iMac works because I can play the .mov attachment.
    So iTunes must be stripping the file of something...?
    Hope this is useful ...

    Connect your iPhone to the Mac with its cable and launch iPhoto. You'll see the option to import the photos from the iPhone.
    Can you explain why you say the photos got deleted somehow?  What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  What do you see in iPhoto's window when you launch IPhoto?  There's a good chance you still have the photos but the iPhoto library is damaged and is not displaying them.  How big does the Finder indicate the library package is?

    Sounds like you're using WiFi...that will take forever & can produce errors.
