Hello all, I have a MBA and my Sony only has Firewire, so a friend of mine was importing the micro cassetes from my old camera, into his Macbook Pro with iMovie and transferring them to a thumb drive for me to use. The last time he did this was early 2012.
So I decided to get a Macbook Pro myself when I realized I have 10 years worth of recording I need to import.
Simple right? Well no, I ran into an unexpected problem; my MBP is not recognizing my Sony. It does not show up under devices and importing it from within iMovie brings up the Facetime camera.
I took it back to the store, they switched MBPs, switched cables and no luck.
The store MBPs had Lion and I have Mountain Lion. The store version of iMovie was 9.0.6 and mine 9.0.8
Can someone please help, my only pupose in getting the MBP is for the Firewire port for these old videos.
I am very confused what happened to change this in the last 6-8 months.
Sorry for the long winded post.
Much appreciated, thanks
