We purchased a Sony HandyCam (XDR XR160) a short time back and now would like to transfer video(s) to our Macs (running OS 10.6.8) for viewing and editing. But reading the manual got me worried, since it seems to slough off Mac users (contact Apple for help...) on the transfer question. The web was not a big help.

There is a 160 GB HD and a chip slot on the C Corder. Can I use USB to make the transfer or do I need some sort of HDMI cable, etc?

Does anyone have a cookbook for this?

Many thanks,

Yep. Did all that and no change. Matter of fact did it to the working MacBook and it is still working fine. The troubled one still does not print. Must admit it has me stumped. Maybe a preference file that is corrupted in the troubled MacBook? Not sure.

I'm not sure, but I looked up your problem on the Apple site, and here is a link to its answer. Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253
Let us know if you find the issue.

Hello to the Group.

I have a perplexing printing problem with only one of my MacBooks. I am running the Time Capsule/Airport for a local network and have been in the past printing wirelessly through this set up with both of my MacBooks. But something changed in one of the Macs.

Recently one of my two laptops no longer can print this way. It can print just fine through the direct USB connection to the printer but not on the network.

I "re-added" the printer via the Print and Fax System Preference panel. Checked "share printer" on network. The printer drivers are up to date and identical with the MacBook that does print via the network. I checked Sharing Preferences and everything is checked correctly.

The symptoms are that the troubled MacBook does not seem to "see" the printer via the network. It can not see the ink level indicators and upon printing it just says "connected to printer" but nothing happens.

The printer is connected to the Time Capsule via an Ethernet cable and or USB cable. Neither works with the troubled MacBook. Both work with the other MacBook. Both MacBooks are running OS 10.6.8. I reloaded the printer drivers on the working Mac and all is fine.

I am thinking the troubled MacBook needs some file Trashed and therefore rewritten. Right now I am at a loss to solve this problem. Any thoughts, help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Question for the group.
I just got the new iPad. I want to put to bed my trusty reliable friend iPad one.
How do I delete it from my profile with my Apple ID?
I know I can just go into the settings and erase all the data. But how do I take it off of my profile?

Thanks in advance.

Bought my Mac for Christmas. My first Apple product was an iPad that I bought a couple of years ago. Love them both. Still have my Dell Computer. It's great to have both and be familiar with both products. Mike

I have both Mac and PC and find a use for both. :-) But, when faced with desirable choices, I always try to choose both.

Good group. Helpful. Welcome.

I bought my first MacBook Pro when I retired in 2008 and wish I had done it years earlier. Glad I found this group.
