Q: I am trying to upload some old film from my Canon MD101 video camera onto my iMac but iMovies and iTunes won't import the footage even though it appears perfectly on my computer screen. Is there another way I can import this footage onto my iMac?

Hi folks,

I am trying to upload some old film from my long-serving Canon MD101 video camera onto my iMac but iMovies and iTunes won't import the footage even though it appears perfectly on my computer screen. Is there another way I can import this footage onto my iMac? I'm using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.4

many thanks

Have you reviewed http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html

That is a good place to start. If you still cannot import the footage try using Image Capture to download the data and then launch iMovie and import the data file(s). Using a camera with your Mac - Apple Support
