How do i transfer the movie i took to my iMac ? What cable do I need and will any ieee1394 cable work?

Yes, that's the cable; it's also known as firewire. You can find the Elura 100 manual online to identify the cable you need. I got one from Amazon for very little money. To transfer, you need the iMovie program. Any edition (06HD, 08, etc) will work. If you have iMovie, your iMac should recognize your camcorder as soon as you plug it in and turn it on. If you have an newer iMac without firewire ports, people say that you can get an adapter for thunderbolt to firewire.

I think this one should work: Tripp Lite FireWire 800 IEEE 1394b Hi-speed Cable (9pin/4pin) 6-ft.(F019-006)

I have only transferred video fro the camera to a Windows PC and it was using the firewire cable. I guess there must exist some firewire adapter for the mac.

I'm on a Mac, but I had to get a different cable than the one that came with it. Good luck.

This is a common question. The answers are getting a bit old, like the Everio itself, but Google is your friend. I found the question at an Adobe help forum: https://forums.adobe.com/message/3154985 For Mac users, try: http://www.iskysoft.com/convert-tod/tod-video-converter-mac.html

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

Yes - you take out the SD card - and put into your MAC - goes right into iMovie - or iPhoto - whatever you want - but I don't think the cord works with MAC - b/c Mac has moved from Firewire to SD card...so I guess depends on your MAC -

I'm not familiar with the mac. The AV cord allows the camcorder to be connected to dvd recorders/players and TVs. I connect the camcorder to the dvd recorder-player to transfer the video recordings to DVDs which are compatible with my computer and other players. Hope this helps.

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

I am sorry to say. I really have no idea about iMac. This cam is working good with my Windows PC. Thanks

to Science Rules:I also have a MacBook Pro and use i Movie for movie making. My experience with import from a camcorder(I have a sony digital tape camcorder) is that it only sees the firewire connection to import movies. Please explain to me how you get your Mac to see an import from the USB cable connection.thank you,Randal

I don't know how you configured your system to watch movies. I used iTunes to create a library of movies, TV shows, and music on the drive, which is connected via USB to my iMac. I then have an Apple TV device connected to my TV (Yes, I also have a Visio) using an HDMI port. The iMac and Apple TV can converse with each other to play movies through my Wi-Fi system (I have an Apple Time Capsule, but your Wi-Fi could easily be something else). Just bring up iTunes on the computer and select the library on the drive and you're good to go.

Hi Chezron, please refer on the link given below on how to set one of the camera's settings when transferring files using MAC. Please select PTP/MTP so that your Mac will recognize the camera. Hope this helps. -Ely http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSC-W710_W730_guide/eng/contents/07/02/11/11.html?search=mac

I own an iMac from 2009 with 4g of RAM. I have had no problem downloading movies from the camera SD cards directly into iMovie; or pictures into iPhoto. I'm not sure if the camera came with software from canon, but I generally don't use that Canon software since it generally is clunky with the Mac. I've had the camera for years now and it works great.

You'd have to check with Apple - I suppose there is a transcoding device or a different type of firewire cable you might not be familiar with. I'd check with the "genius" bar.

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

What projector do you have? Does your Imac have a place for the SVGA Cable to hook up? I don't think the Imac has a place open for the SVGA cable to hook up..? Dan

If you have VLC player on your iMac it won't matter. I use my MacBook Pro and just slide the SD card in and voila.
