Using a sony hd with a mac

i have a sony hdr xr100 cam corder, apple store told me to get final cut express to use it
now the computer, macbook is telling me i dont have the NTSC 720x480 firewire
what do i do?

Your camcorder is an AVCHD model and connects to your Mac via USB, not FireWire.
In FCE you should be using one of the AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec easy setups *(FCE > Easy Setup menu)* - choose one that matches the settings you used in your camcorder when you shot the video (1080i60 for example). I suspect that you currently have it set for the DV NTSC easy setup, which requires FireWire.

  • How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac?

    How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac? I just bought this webcam on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJE0ISS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1 and I want to use it with my mac. Is there an adapter or any software to make it compatible? Thanks.

    Your amazon link states, in part, that this webcam is:
    Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7,Vista, XP, 2000
    Use a Mac OS X Compatible Webcam like one of those shown in the linked article instead.
    For best compatibility and security, also update your OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) to the current OS X version by restarting Mac and then downloading and installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

    do I need to create another account with a different email account
    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

  • Anyone using Brother HL-2170W with their Mac?

    Anyone using Brother HL-2170W with their Mac? I read some reviews at newegg and they are not bad , but at the apple store the reviews are not that good at all. Is this because it is not working well with Leopard as most printers don't or what?

    Verizon informs me that Windows is only needed to download and install some form of authentication and that the free wi-fi hotspot service can be used from then on from the Macintosh side. Even though it's a Windows program, I'm assured that the authorized status will be detected when the Mac laptop is used under OS X

  • Is it possible to use creative cloud online with both Mac/windows system (on the same computer, bootcamp) without paying twice ?

    Hello, I work with a Macbook pro, divided into mac and win 8 (with Bootcamp), is it possible to use Creative Cloud subscription with both system without paying twice.
    Bonjour, J'utilise un Macbook pro partitionné Bootcamp mac et windows 8, est-il possible que l'abonnement à Creative Cloud en ligne fonctionne indifféremment dans les deux systemes (sur le même ordi), sans payer deux fois.
    Merci,

    Your subscription allows for two functioning installations (normally on separate machines, but I imagine you could install the two as you indicate).

  • Has anyone ever used a livescribe smartpen with a Mac?

    I am about to purchase a livescribe smartpen which will record handwritten notes and audio and store them to a computer. Most of the promotion about the smartpen describes its use with a PC. How does it work with a MacBook Pro?

    You may not get an answer here.  I took a look at the Amazon reviews for the Lightscribe, and there were very few that dealt with the Mac, and the best review was decidely negative.  Not good.

  • Using an Ipod Nano with a Mac OS X and a PC on Windows XP

    Hello,
    I have a MAC OS X at home and a PC with Windows XP at work. I have been using my Ipod Nano at home for quite a lon time, but I have tried to use it at work for the first time.
    However, when I try to see the music content on my PC, it says that my Ipod is formatted for MAC and that I need to reformat it if I want to use it with the PC.
    The problem is that if I reformat it, I will lose all its content and I am afraid to be obliged to reformat it when I want to connect it to my MAC again.
    How can I do to be able to use my Ipod with my MAC and with my PC?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Pentium 4   Windows XP  

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC. Strictly speaking using a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac isn't supported however many people use one without any issue. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac; however, Apple currently only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

  • Thoughts on using a Sony Vaio with CS5 for HD event video projects?

    Basically I would need to use my Sony Vaio F12 laptop to edit HD  wedding videos on CS5. I wanted some opinions on my equipment so i will  be able to edit a long project(about an hour to 2 hours) smoothly with  no dropped frames, errors, system crashes, etc. So I would basically i  need a setup that can keep up.
    Specs: Sony Vaio - Intel Quad Core i7 1.73 Ghz(Mobile version), 6 gig  ram, 500 gb 7200 rpm HD, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M(1GB dedicated video  memory)
    I know I would at least have to use an external HD from the video and  audio. I have a 1TB Samsung Story external USB and another 1 TB one  that is eSata but am having problems with the esata port on the Sony.
    Would this be adequate or would their be some obvious areas that you could see causing problems? I'm thinking the USB external might cause a bottleneck for one.

    The assumption for why there is negligible performance gain is incorrect. If they changed the speed of the CPU and had an understanding how CUDA works they would probably have seen that. The GPU can only perform as well as the CPU allows it. What this means is the CPU has to process the threads before sending the appropriate data to the GPU for processing via the System ram. There are many factors that effect CUDA and especially performance with the MPE. The biggest though is the processor. If you set a GPU monitor utility, you can monitor the activity on the GPU while the CPU is at stock speed and then at overclocked. You will see a sizable difference in performance/usage on the GPU and GPU ram based on the speed of the CPU. What this tells you is that the GPU may be the best performing you can get but it will sit more than 90% idle if the CPU is taking to long to process the data it requires. CUDA sends threads to all available CUDA cores and is not limited at all like CPU threading. It literally just throws threads out there to the cores in simple terms. The assumption is incorrect in the link you reference.

  • CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY MAC BOOK PRO

    CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY 13"mac book pro

    Your 2014 MacBook Pro should have 2 Thunderbolt ports and 1 HDMI port.  We need to find out what plug your Cinema Display has.
    Does the Plug look like this:
    http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/dvi-cables/dviiplug.jpg
    If so, then its a DVI connector.   And you would need a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port to DVI adapter.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter
    If not, look on the underside of the Display's frame or base/stand, there should be a model number there.

  • Can i use a dvd player with my mac

    Hi,
    I would like to know which external dvd/cd would be best for my iMac
    Many Thanks
    dormouse48

    Any external optical drives will work with a Mac.
    The faster transfer drives are the ones that either use the new USB 3 standard, FireWire 800 or Thunderbolt connection.  While USB 2 and FireWire 400 drives will work, they will have slower data transfer speeds.

  • Using a Dell 2407WFP with two Macs at the same time?

    Hi ... I have a Dell Ultrasharp 24" WFP display that I was using with my old G4. Connectivity isn't the issue ... it works beautifully on both the G4 and my new Mini. I've read that I can put the VGA cable on the G4 (no biggie -- it's what I was using before) and I have the DVI on the Mini.
    What I want to know is: Can I (and is it wise to) have both machines running at the same time and toggle the display between the two or should I keep one machine off when the other is on? There is a button on the display for toggling between a variety of displays.
    I've activated file sharing, etc. on the old box, but there are some things I still can't do unless I'm on the G4 desktop -- mostly my graphic apps. I've been holding off from swapping cables around, but now it's getting to the point that I need to get back on the G4 because of apps that I don't have on the Mini.
    I haven't put the VGA cable back on the G4 yet. It seems like it -should- work -- I just need some verification that it will or won't futz up something. I think what I might be most concerned about is that the monitor isn't powerful enough to run both machines at the same time, but I could be wrong.
    The info at the Dell site is somewhat dated.
    TIA!

    I use a KVM switch with a Dell monitor that has DVI and VGA inputs. I only route the K an M portions (keyboard and mouse) through the switch. The computers connect directly via VGA and DVI to the Monitor, and then I use the monitor's switch to make the video switch. Works fine. Don't worry about taxing the monitor.
    I'd suggest buying the KVM switch from a vendor with easy return policies, since it can take a few tries to find a model you like.
