I movie 09 on my Macbook Pro isn't recognizing the presence of my Sony handycam dvd201E - nor does it offer options - any advice please?  dave R

I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011.
The new features available in OS X Yosemite like Continuity, Handoff,etc are not supported in this model.
I did upgrade RAM to avoid any possible slowdown.
I found replacing the HD with SSD is  too expensive for  a 4 years old model.
Replacing the CPU/GPU is not for amateurs.
If you think that rebuilding a Mac part by part is a viable option, please go ahead and rebuild it.
Best.

  • I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    1. Insert your DVD.
    2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
    3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
    4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
    5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg  file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

  • Thanks for the help...iPhoto 11 on my Pro isn't recognizing the .nef file extension.  Advice?

    I'm importing photos from a Nikon d5200 in RAW format and iPhoto says it doesn't recognize that file extension (.nef).  The movie files came off just fine.  And when the initial window comes up in iPhoto asking if I want to import all photos or just the selected ones, I can see all the RAW file images as usual.  They just won't import.

    What version of iPhoto? Has this Nikon RAW ever worked with your Mac and this version of iPhoto?
    You need iPhoto '11 version 9.4 or higher for RAW support for the D5200 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4757

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • The track pad on my Macbook pro isn't working well. The scrollbars are there but the only way it lets me scroll is with the arrows. It also doesn't let me highlight anything to delete it nor does it like me double click to open any documents. Help?

    It isn't letting me copy and paste so the question is the subject, I am sorry.

    Hi Miamel84,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If your trackpad is unresponsive, a good troubleshooting step is to reset the PRAM and SMC on your system. The following articles will show you how to do that.  Also see the final article in this post that addresses general issues with jumpy or erratic trackpads.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
    Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).
