What cable can I use?

What cable can I use to transfer old VHS tapes from my VHS player to my new IMac and IMovie (VHS to DVD transfer)? And where would be the best place to purchase such a cable? My VHS has only coaxial or RCA plugs as outputs. The IMac has firewire cable inputs.

Fixit2at,
Welcome to the Discussions.
It's more than just a cable you need.
To go from VHS to iMovie requires converting an analog video signal to digital.
Some miniDV cameras have an analog/digital pass through mode. If you have access to such a camera, that may be a solution.
If not, you'll need some hardware, such as this:

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • What kind of cable can I use?

    Hello,
    I recently bought an iMac and I was wondering what kind of cable can I use to connect it to my Macbook Air so that I'll be able to transfer my files faster.
    Any links to a website that has a picture or actually sells the appropriate cable would be greatly appreciated as I currently live Paris and communicating with store clerks is a mission in and of itself!
    Thanks a lot.

    get the usb-ethernet adapter for the MBA and then an ethernet cable to attach the two computers. OR: create a computer to computer wireless airport connection so that the computers can access the N wireless network both are capable of but some routers are not. If the MBA is the more recent revision, you may have gotten the usb-ethernet adapter included in the package; otherwise, it can be purchased from the Apple Store. The ethernet cables are standard and can be obtained from any computer store. No need for anything special like crossover cables, macs connect directly with a standard cable.
    I tried to transfer files quickly via a simple 802.11g wireless LAN I had set up via a router but it was so slow that I set up the c to c network via the menubar airport menu and was able to quickly copy and transfer files via the 802.11n that the airport hardware provides when something else does not interfere with the speed that the macs are capable of wirelessly.

    The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

  • What else can I use beside Compressor?!

    Compressor is now useless to me. Unknown time remaining will not fix. What else can I use? Anyone know?

    Look, we understand your frustration and, since we've been hanging out here a long time, we differentiate newbie issues as separate from actual or legitimate problems by seeking information newbies refuse or simply do not understand how to supply. You've added significant information that will allow us to assist you.
    Compared to the hundreds of thousands of successful and happy Compressor users, "plenty of people" is not significant.
    The next post in this thread suggests your only hope is a complete system wipe and reinstallation. Do you want to try that and report back to us?
    It is useless if it doesnt work and yes I've never gotten to use it. I have used lessons on lynda.com. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing. Try a simpler batch, I was using the simplest of batches. The setting is conventional. I spent time on the phone with 2 different Apple tech people who know compressor. I assure you I have spent the entire day trying to fix this to no avail.
    I've learned that plenty of other people have this same problem with no solution being offered here or from Apple.

  • HT201300 What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch early 2011 model to an external projector so it will display the computer screen image through the projector?

    What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

    You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP.  That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port.  The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.

    i received a ms publisher file what program can i use to open and edit

    There is no program that can open Publisher files except Publisher. It doesn't matter whether you use Windows or a Mac, Publisher files must have Publisher.
    Publisher does not have a Mac version so you will need Windows (and Publisher)

    What program can I use to open documents with; if I am running OSX 10.6.8 and only have Text edit?

    What kind documents of documents do you want to open? Just to read or write too?
    Besides TextEdit, you also have Preview that can display a wide gamut of document types as well.
    As for office documents, may want to download and install LibreOffice to deal with the usual suspects: .doc, .xls, .ppt   http://www.libreoffice.org/
