Which cable?

This is so dirt simple, it's embarrassing to ask…but to transfer from my camera to iPhoto MUST I use a special USB cable?
I have many cables, all bought for special reasons, and I transferred photos sev'l weeks ago, but can't remember where "the cable" is. Apple's Help on iPhoto 5 says USB. Plain, ordinary USB is not what they mean. If the on-line manual speaks to this, I missed it.
I've got FireWire for iMovie - and have tried it for iPhoto - but camera does not show up.
Old to Macs, New to iPhoto. THANKS for your help.

Hi songbird,
My canon camera has a cable that is USB on one end and the other end (that hooks to the camera) is a small looking connector. If you look on your camera you will see what it looks like.
here is a link to show you

  • Which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

    which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?

    I totally understand.
    Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
    Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
    Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
    I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.

    You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576  Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
    Quick delivery and willing to help.
    Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
    Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
    All the best

  • HT5299 which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?

    which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?  The port's on the side have changed from my previous Mac.  Thank you.

    If you have a retina MBP use a HDMI to HDMI cable.
    If you have a non retina MBP, use a minidisplay port to HDMI cable.  Insert the minidisplay end in the Thunderbolt port.

  • Which cable to use with macbook air

    I need to do an extensive download.  Right now I'm on our wirless network here at the house.  I need to use a hardwire connection to our modem to decrease download time.  Which cable do I need to connect to the modem?  BTW we are on Comcast.

    You need an ethernet cable, however, the MacBook Air does not have an ethernet port so you will need a USB to ethernet adapter or a Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.

  • Which cable to charge my iPhone 3g in an airplane?

    Hello,
    I need to take the plane for a long trip (10 hours flight). Not sure how long the battery will last (in airplane mode).
    Is there a cable I can use to recharge my iPhone 3G in a plane (like the one I have for my car)?
    Which cable do you recommend me?
    Regards,
    Yves.

    Any airline power adapter with a USB port will work, along with your dock cable. There are also adapters that work using power from the seat headphone port, so they don't require you to be in a seat with power (usually first/business class and select seats in coach).

  • Which cable to connect macbook pro to tv

    WHich cable would I need to connect my macbbok pro to my 5 yr old panasonic viera tv - not HD but has HD ports. Hopefully to get audio without extra speakers.

    I suggest a HDMI to HDMI cable since your MBP has a HDMI port.  This would be the simplest option.
    Here is an example (not an endorsement):

  • Which cable should I use for a MacBook to external VGA monitor

    Hello everyone
    Having just come back to Apple, last having used a Apple 2E way back in the 70's, I've got to get used to non-IBM compatible stuff!
    Please advise which cable is needed to hook up to a standard IBM compatible VGA screen/cable.
    Also, will the same cable do for an overhead projector with a VGA input port.
    Thank you

    Hi and welcome to Discussions and welcome back to the Apple world,
    this are the tech specs of your MacBook http://support.apple.com/kb/SP579 so you need a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter like this one http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NDg for connecting your IBm display and your projector.
    Regards

  • Can someone please tell me which cable is used to connect a Macbook Pro to a TV.

    I want to connect my laptop to the tv but i don't know which cable is used and where to buy it..

    On my 2011 Macbook Pro (and my sister's) mdp does pass audio.
    I seem to recall that some (older?) mdp-hdmi adaptors wouldn't pass audio. 
    The moshi one I have here passes audio, and another one I have does too -- I think it's made by RocketFish.
    I see that the one at Apple Store is moshi -- it lists the digital audio feature:

  • Which cable do i need for dell monitor  Dell Ultrasharp U2713H - macbook 13' retina?

    Which cable do i need to attach monitor to macbook pro for optimum display resolution?
    thank you

    The resolution is supported, whether at 60 Hz, I do not know.
    Here are the Monitor Specs:
    http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/monitors/en/dell_ultrasharp_u2713h _specs.pdf
    In order to obtain the resolution that you require, it seems that you will need a minidisplayport - minidosplayport cable such as this:

  • Equium M50: Which cable can I use to connect to TV?

    I want to hook my computer up to my TV. I went into my local computer shop but they showed me about 5 different cables and I had no idea which one would work best or work at all. Can anybody advise me on which cable would work for my computer the Equium M50-192? Or can I even buy such a cable online?
    Thanks in advance.

    The cable you need is S-Video however not all TV/Video equipment provide full S-Video support resulting in a black and white image. This minor issue can be resolved using a S-Video to Composite adapter such as one sold by Maplin at the sacrifice of quality

    Can you clarify whether you're using a MacBook Pro or a PowerBook?  Your post is ambiguous.  For good measure please tell us when it was purchased new.

  • Which cable should I have for my ipod with video

    Hi I have ipod with video and bought the ipod fw power adapter gen, so I could charge my ipod away from my computer. I bought the wrong cable and sent it back and have received the wrong cable again. Can anyone help me and tell me which cable I should have, the cables I previously bought from apple are thin firewire cable 6-6 pin o.5m gen, and then ipod dock connector to usb 2.0.

    Hi the firewire cable you mention is the one that i bought originally and it does not work with ipod video, the conection to my ipod with this cable is fine but the conection to the other end of the cable does not fit the charger, I checked the link that you both mention and it actually says that it is not compatable. The charger I bought says it works with ipod video thats why I am so confused to know what cable to buy and have made to mistakes already. If you can help me Id be delighted because its driving me nuts.
