Using mac with JVC camcorder

Hi! i'm new the the world of mac and have just bought a JVC GZ-MG330 camcorder, and am having trouble getting my new macbook to recognise and play the video files. Am i missing some download or something? There must be a way to do it since the instructions say how to save it to a mac. Is there some editing downloads i need or something?? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Have a look at the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1422086&tstart=26 batman's Frog.
The most promising answer there, from "baileybird", is:
"+have an IMAC Desktop 10.4.11 and yes the JVC GZ-MG330 does work with IMOVIE 08, just don't follow the JVC Manual+
+Connect the Camera to the PC as per their instructions+
+Select "Playback on PC" on the camera+
+Then an ICON will appear on the desktop called "EVERIO_HDD"+
+Then open IMOVIE 08 the software automatically attempts to import the files and you get a prompt on the screen to "IMPORT ALL" or the files you wish to import. Follow IMOVIE prompts from there - not the JVC brochure.+"
But there are some other suggestions, too.
Cheers
Rod

    It will input your Quicken PPC data file directly if it was Quicken 2005 through 2007.  If older you need Quicken 2006 or 2007 PPC first to convert your data file; and this update must be done BEFORE you upgrade to Mavericks:

  • OS 10.6.8 idvd version 7.1.2 crash with JVC camcorder GZ-HM30BU

    Has anyone had any difficulties with their idvd becoming non-usable?
    I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 using idvd 7.1.2 and have a JVC camcorder GZ-HM30BU transferring HD video files using a SDHC card.  After importing and editing using imovie, I share using media browser large (960x540).  I then create a new dvd using idvd (DVD-R 4.7 GB).  After the movie is finished burning the 1st copy ejects and then my macbook asks if I would like to create another dvd.  When I insert the new dvd, my macbook pro ejects the blank dvd and states "done" even though the copy was not made.  I must then select "cancel".  After that, I am no longer able to create dvds using my macbook without replacing the idvd application from my backup disc.  Has anyone had any difficulties with their idvd becoming non-usable?

    thanks guys; but the problem is that iDVD does not want to burn a disk now from the original movie-project. i see the movie project on teh desktop and can launch it just fine - even play it through the iDVD application - but when i click burn, it asks for a disk (I insert a memorex DVD+RDL 8.5Gb 240 minute dual layer) and it ejects it a few seconds later. the IDVD progress bar still runs as though it is burning just fine - its progress drops from 18 minutes all the way to "less than a minute" and then it hangs. even if i insert a different memorex disk, it still doesn't start actually burning it. it only burned the very first memorex disk i inserted successfully. i have tried disk utility to burn from a .dmg file copy of the original successfully burned disk, but disk utility can't burn onto the memorex disk either. maybe something wrong with the super drive? thanks for your ideas.

  • If I buy a used Mac with Final Cut Pro and other software pre-installed, will they be updateable?

    I want to buy a used Mac for video editing and there are alot of them with FCPX and other software already installed. If I buy one of these will I be able to do future updates to the software?

    If they were downloaded from the Mac App store, no. In fact, the licenses are not transferable. Technically, it's not legal to sell you the machine with apps from the Mac App store still installed.

  • Using .mac with pages created by other apps

    Is there a way to publish pages created by other applications to .Mac?
    This may seem like a silly thing, but every year I run an NCAA basketball pool (all legal, of course). I have run this on my web site with my own domain, but would like to make the switch to my .Mac site. The software that I use to run the pool creates web files to upload to your site. With my old site, I would just create a page with a link to the pages, and upload everything. Is there a way to add files to your .Mac web folder somehow? Does this make any sense?

    Sure there is...
    Publish your files to a folder, then copy the whole folder to your iDisk/Sites/ folder. To get your iDisk mounted to your desktop, look under the Go menu of the Finder, then select "iDisk", then select "My iDisk".
    For example....if you publish your b-ball pool site to a folder called "bball". Then copy this folder to Sites folder at the root of your iDisk. You can then, access the web pages at the following Homepages URL:
    http://homepage.mac.com/yourdotmacname/bball/index.html (substitute your .Mac username and the appropriate start page name, of course).
    That's it!
    This is different from your iWeb site, but if you ever design pages in iWeb and publish them, you can simply provide a link on those pages to the above Homepages URL.

  • Using .Mac with iphone

    I did search but i could not find the answer. I am currently using the .mac email trial to see if it is somethig i might be interested in buying. I noticed none of my emails have been pushed to my iphone. Is this because i am using the trial and not all features are available? Or is it because .mac does not support push mail? Thanks

    Apple does not provide/support the Push-IMAP protocol - at the present time anyway but a .Mac account provides the flexibility to access the account as IMAP or POP depending on preferences.
    I access my .Mac account on my iPhone (as an IMAP account along accessing the account as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on my Mac) which is my primary account and although Push is not supported with the iPhone, all you need to do is select the account's Inbox mailbox in between automatic checks.
    The free Yahoo Push-IMAP account for iPhone customers cannot be accessed with an email client on another computer or device.

  • Using .mac with mail.app and iphone...problems with mailbox folders i think

    Is it normal in mail.app for my folders to be as follows: Under the heading Mailboxes, I have Inbox folder and Sent folder and trash folder. Then, instead of a junk folder under that, it is below all of that under the heading Chris's Email (obviously my account). Why is this?

    Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
    Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with your ISP's email account?
    Most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the default port for SMTP servers.
    Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
    These restructions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    First thing to try.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below the the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't work, you need to contact your ISP. If you are accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with the Mail.app, in the interim select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

  • How to use Mac with 2 hard drives?

    I have a MacBook Pro that I have been using with one hard drive for 2 years. I am about to install a second hard drive inside of the computer, and I would like to know how use my laptop with these 2 hard drives. The drives I will use will be...
    60 GB SSD (primary)
    OS
    Applications
    750 GB HDD (secondary)
    iTunes library
    Docs, pictures, music, movies, misc.
    Everything else
    Is this possible? Do I need to simply drag and drop the folders onto the hard drive that I want them in?
    Thanks.
    -Grant

  • I got it. Syncing Blackberry Storm using Mac with Missing Sync

    I just bought my Storm Sat and have been trying to sync for days. I have a IBOOK G4 running the latest TIGER OS. I read all you guys post and I think it all helped a lot. Im a new BB user so it took me awhile to figure the phone. Ok, so anyway to the good stuff. As mentioned I followed some of the other threads, installing Pocket Mac and the updated driver. Uninstalling and re-installing. Taking the battery out and all that. None of that worked for me either like some of you. Keep getting the error message. So, I broke down and bought Missing Sync. Still wouldn't work. So, tonight I uninstalled PocketMac and deleted all files associated with off my Mac. Then I brought Missing Sync up on my Mac. On your Storm go to Options then Memory. Click on Mass Storage Mode Support select On. Then when you see Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode I selected Prompt or you could do Yes. Save Changes. Then go to Missing Sync just set what your preferences are for sync and click Sync. Boom- you are good to go. 
    This is what I did. It sync my Itunes and IPhoto and everything else. So, now Im at piece. Hope this will help someone. To everyone else thanks for your ideas cause it did help me with my dilemma, so I guess I will keep the Storm. 

    i managed to get both music and pictures onto my storm from my macbook, and from my storm to my macbook.
    i had to go into options on the storm, then memory, then to "prompt" for auto enable mass storage mode when connected.
    then i disconnected and re-connected the usb with pocketmac open on my macbook and it started synching. at first it synched everything BUT my music and photos. then i noticed when i plugged the usb back into my storm once more, two seperate blackberry harddrives appeared on my desktop, Blackberry1 and Blackberry2. I went into Blackberry1, then to the folder "home", then to the folder "user", then to the folders "music" and "photos" and just clicked and dragged music from my itunes library and photo library into those folders. then I tested it to make sure it worked. sounds great on the storm! it has to be done into the folders on Blackberry1 though, i tried it with Blackberry2 and even though it has the same folder names, when i tried to play the music i had dragged and dropped said it was an incompatible format. it's not the format, it's just the wrong drive.
    hope this helps someone out, it worked for me! 

  • I'm using Mac with OS 10.9.4 and Photoshop CC. I am unable to access "Focus Area Selection". When I go to "Select" on menu its simply not there in the drop down menu. Any help?

    How do I access "Focus Area Selection" in Photoshop CC on a Mac? It's not showing in the "Select" drop-down menu.

    Select > Focus area is in Photoshop CC 2014, not Photoshop CC.  So you must download and install CC 2014 to have access to this new feature.

    Will I just switch out licenses or something? Or is it a complete reinstall?
    Good question. I supsect you'll have to find and delete whatever preference file stores the illegal (if that's the correct term) serial number. Then it will ask you to re-enter next launch. So you probably don't have to reinstall the entire app not that it's a big deal. And if you actually purchase a license, well you could probably just keep working but to follow the letter of the law, delete that file (not sure where it resides, depends on the OS), then enter the purchased serial.

    i use mac with osx.i sync files from my windows pc to firefox mac it synced all accept of a file i had to my pc why?thanks

    Sync isn't a "cloud service" to back up miscellaneous user selected files. Only specific Firefox user data and preferences are synchronized.
    See this for what types of Firefox data Sync is intended to handle.
