IEEE 1394 USB on the macbook Air

Hi, I tried to transfer my videos from my Canon ZR960 to my MacBook air with a Firewire (IEEE 1394) port for USB cable, but it doesn't work, my mac will not read the camera and won't be on side windows on the BootCamp partition. How can I fix, how can I transfer the videos (on mini cassette) to my MacBook Air?

It is greatly appreciated.

IEEE 1394 (firewire) to a USB cable

Hi luis098765,

I see that you have problems when you try to import MiniDV video from your camera to your MacBook Air. I see that you try to use a USB FireWire-cable to achieve this. I would suggest that you use a FireWire adapter rather Thunderbolt as a USB connection does not allow you to import the tape media in your computer. More information can be found in the following articles:

    You have two activations and no more. If you need to register a third party, you will need to purchase another package. Yes, the installers can be copied to any media that you consider appropriate.

  • Video of the MacBook Air to accuse by unplugged (current running off battery)

    Hello. I have a Macbook Air from 2012. The Macbook works perfectly fine when it is plugged, but the minute I unplug the unit, some video that I might be streaming suddenly freezes, even if sometimes the audio is not yet. Weird. The battery works, even if it runs in less than an hour. It has a cycle of 657 counter. The battery health is diagnosed as being 'good '. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Thank you.

    Apparently, the MacBook Air is electric rationing of the battery through the

    all of the GPU, CPU, free wireless internet, open, applications and requirements

    Mac OS x itself; so many invisible things are underway in the background.

    Have you looked into the specifications of profile of electrical system and battery

    where the status of the battery is spelled in milli-ampere-hour charge remaining

    and expected full load capacity?

    I imagine that the battery can be replaced; also if SSD drive

    is full of stored content, the effort it takes the system to find the space

    for swap files and read/write then in the storage disk, is your MB/Air tax.

    Maybe an upgrade of the hard drive (SSD) ability is something to check

    in (if it is possible to upgrade) or just be sure to not have much stored on board.

    A replacement may be obtained from the macsales, OWC, among others.

    Also make sure that the MagSafe connectors are clean and free of debris on both sides

    the AC adapter and the DC-in Board (on the computer).

    An Etrecheck report generated when the unit is running under the battery and another

  • Should I buy the MacBook Air 13 (Early 2015)?

    Hello everyone.

    I currently own a Chromebook, product that I hope, I sell to help me get the MacBook Air 13. The purpose of the switch is the requirement for me to have a computer (with an operating system in its own right) that I can use for computer science stuff. However, I'm worried about the MacBook Air 13 (Early 2015; the 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD model) is how obsolete, and its durability. I not looking for a laptop that will last me a year and performance degradation that are present or any downgrade of the user experience. I expect a computer that will give me at least 3 years of service and still work without any problems (excluding the damage caused to the user, but assume that I am a responsible person).

    Any kind of help is appreciated.
