Hi there,

You'll have to use the DV Firewire output to connect your camcorder and import with iDVD.
Kind regards.

SOURCE: Sony DCR-TRV460 not playing back, blue screen

Follow this procedure to troubleshoot if a blue screen is displayed when attempting to playback video from the camcorder.

  1. Stop the tape.
  2. Ensure the tape has been rewound to the beginning of the video recording.
  3. Play the tape.
  4. If the issue is not resolved, stop the tape and remove it from the camcorder.
  5. Clean the video heads of the camcorder using a dry head cleaning cassette.IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions for use provided with the head cleaning cassette. It may be necessary to use the head cleaning cassette more than once per session.
  6. Reinsert the tape into the camcorder.
  7. Play the tape.
  8. If the issue is not resolved, stop the tape and remove it from the camcorder.
  9. Insert a different tape with video footage into the camcorder.
  10. Ensure the tape has been rewound to the beginning of the video recording.
  11. Play the tape.
NOTES:
  • If a blue screen is still displayed, then the camcorder may require service .
  • If the tape plays back correctly, then the first tape may be faulty or there is a problem with the video recording.

SOURCE: Hello,

The supplied software is not compatible with Mac Computer and Sony does provide any software or driver for Mac Computer for this Camcorder.

However, you can transfer the video to the Mac Computer. Refer the link given below for the instruction:

After that you can use any Video Editing Software to edit the video in the Computer.


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: iMovie 09 / Mac OS X will not recognise Sony

mac doesn't support usb streaming so that leaves us with firewire. it should be a plug-and-play connection. no need to install any kind of driver for the camcorder (but try to check if there are any available driver updates for the firewire card).if possible try to check if your computer firewire port is working by using other devices.your imovie software should detect the camcorder once connected.if not, disconnect cam, open imovie, and connect again.if still doesnt,RESET camcorder.if still the same try restarting computer with cam connected and powered on.check if you have a dv in indicator on your screen.check if firewire cable connection is secured.try diff ilink cable if available.if still no go, try a diff computer. if everything fails might also be a service issue.hope this helps.tnx:)

When it arrives next year, Mac OS X 10.7 will bring new several staple features of iOS 4 to Apple's Mac computers, specifically Launchpad, an icon-focused interface that arranges all of your available apps, complete with app folders, just as they would appear on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, on your Mac desktop.</a> Unlike a full iOS interface, however, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion makes the system toggleable, and users will still have access to the dock, desktop, and menus of a full Mac OS. </span><span><br /> <br /> </span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span>Furthermore, apps designed for Mac OS X 10.7 will feature full screen modes that occupy your entire desktop or laptop screen, much like an iPad app, and will support trackpad gesture controls that could easily be applied to a touchscreen interface. <br /> <br /> Primary among those drivers, as Apple chief executive Steve Jobs announced, was bringing to Lion what Apple had learned from its experience with the successful iPad tablet. Like the iPad, Lion will run apps from a similar central app store. A new Launchpad for apps and a Mission Control feature will combine the talents of Spaces, Expos&eacute;, and Dashboard.</span></span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span><span>Jobs announced that Lion would emerge in the summer of 2011, but the Mac App Store will open within 90 days. Another anticipated Mac OS feature is coming along much sooner: Facetime for Mac, which will let Mac users make video calls with iPhone 4 and iPod touch users. It is available now. So it's not part of Lion, but coming already for Snow Leopard.</span></span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span><span>Multitouch support was another much-predicted feature for Lion, but Jobs was careful to state that it wouldn't be in the form the pundits expected. Apple researchers determined that multitouch doesn't work on vertical screens, because of arm fatigue. Instead, Lion's multitouch support will be for larger trackpads. If you want multitouch on an actual screen, you'll have to get an iPad. </span></span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span><span>Over 7 billion iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch apps have been downloaded from the Apple App store, and then the ipad or ipod touch ursers </span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.ipad-to-mac.org/guides/transfer-music-from-ipad-to-mac.html"><span><span><span><span>transfer music from ipad to mac</span></span></span></span><span><span><span></span></span></span></a><span><span><span><span> , Jobs noted that there will still be places other than the store to get Mac apps. Installation will be as easy as it is on the iPhone, and developers will get the same 70 percent of revenue on paid apps. </span></span></span></span><br /> <span><span><span><span>"We think bringing some of these things back from</span></span></span></span><a href="http://www.ipad-to-mac.org/"><span><span><span><span> iPad to Mac</span></span></span></span><span><span><span></span></span></span></a><span><span><span><span>, with some fresh new things like Mission Control, will really delight Mac users," Jobs said. With all the attention bestowed on the iPad and iPhone, it's about time Mac users get to enjoy some of the delight. This was just a first glimpse, but it's promising. We'll be there when it debuts.</span></span></span></span><br /> <span></span><span></span><span></span> <p><span> </span><br />

Canon mf 4018

Hello - Canon does not provide a Mac driver that supports scanning, BUT if you have:

An Intel Mac

and
OS 10.5 (Leopard) or later (including snow leopard, lion, mountain lion and even mavericks)
there IS a fix: Just download the free Vuescan software for Mac, then use it to scan with the MF4018.

Go to: http://www.hamrick.com
Download Vuescan for Mac OS X

Install it, and start the application. It will recognize any scanners attached.
NOTE: If Vuescan asks you to identify your printer, you will not see the MF4018 listed. Choose the MF4010 instead - the 4010 and the 4018 use the same drivers.

3095's won't work with mac lion

The Brother HL-3095CW is a color laser printer that is not natively compatible with Mac OS X Lion.
However, there are a few ways to get the printer to work with your Mac:
  • Download and install the Brother printer driver for Mac OS X Lion from the Brother website.
  • Use the built-in AirPrint feature in Mac OS X Lion to print wirelessly to the Brother HL-3095CW.
  • Use a third-party software such as Gutenprint or CUPS to add support for the printer to your Mac.
  • Use a print server to connect the printer to your network and make it available to your Mac.
It's important to note that this printer was released in 2009 and Brother's support for this device and Mac Lion will be limited. It's recommended to check Brother's website to see if the printer model is compatible with the latest Mac OS version and the support for the printer model.
If you continue to have issues with getting the Brother HL-3095CW to work with your Mac, it would be best to contact Brother technical support for further assistance.
