A. The Canon MVX10i is a standard definition video, consumer grade, camcorder that records low compression, high quality video to miniDV tape.

This is the English version.
It behaves like any other miniDV tape based camcorder (with one exception form JVC that I will not address here).
Camcorder OFF. Connect a firewire cable (not USB) to the camcorder's DV port (not USB) and the Mac's firewire port (not USB). There was no firewire cable in the box with the camcorder. You did not tell us which "cord" you connected to your Mac - but if it was the USB cable that was in the box, that will allow transfer of stills from the camcorder's flash memory only. It will not transfer video from the digital tape. You *must* use a firewire cable.
See page 9 for the location of the camcorder's DV port. DV, firewire, IEEE1394 and i.Link are all the same thing. They are not USB and are not interchangeable with USB. USB-to-firewire cable/converter/adapter things will not work.
The camcorder's DV port is a 4-pin firewire connector. We do not know which Mac you are using. Older Macs all had a 6-Pin firewire port. More recent Macs either have no firewire port (MacBook Air, some versions of MacBook) or a 9-pin firewire port ... and most new Macs have a Thunderbolt port that will need a Thunderbolt-to-firewire adapter tail/cable from Apple (about $40) that provides a 9-pin firewire port. So... without knowing which Mac you have we don't know if you need a 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable or 4-pin to 9-pin firewire cable.
Assuming you correctly connect the camcorder's DV port to the Mac's firewire port, and the Mac is on, *now* you can turn on the camcorder and put it into "Play (VCR)" mode. See the power/mode switch on page 10 of the manual. LOCK the video (there is a small tab on the back of the tape - it should be "open" to be locked). Rewind the video in the camcorder.
Launch iMovie. It will been in the Dock or in the Applications folder of the Mac. Name the file and set the destination of the video files for storage. Under File, select Import or Capture and the video should start importing.
ALERT: If the miniDV tapes are full, that is 60 minutes of video. This 60 minutes of imported video will consume about 14 gig of computer hard drive space when imported to iMovie. 14 gig x 20 tapes = 280 gig of computer hard drive space. We don't know how much available space there is on your Mac's hard drive. Consider using an external drive (connected using USB) for the videoeidinting project file storage.

How will my life change after having a second baby?
Q. My first born is one year old. We want to have another baby by the time she is three. I'm just curious about specific things that might change once we have our second child. (Life situations, Daily routines, motherly expectations.) Please feel free to share your experiences. Thanks!
A. I nannied two boys 2.5 years apart, and now I have twins.
I don't find 2 kids to be very difficult. It is easier IMO if they are closer in ages, since they can do the same things at some point.
2 kids fit into a standard car, there are lots of double strollers out there.
The worst ages for nannying were when they were 1 and 3. The 3 year old had no self control, and the 1 year old was mobile so would go up to the 3 year old.
By 2 and 4 the preschooler had more self control, and the 2 year old could defend himself. It isn't that you want them to bite etc. but it is useful when trying to keep your big brother from beating up on you! Of course I broke up most fights, but that encourages the older one to start things when you are not looking. Once the younger one can defend himself and chomps down on the older one a couple times the older one learns to respect him, even when the caregivers back is turned.
Also by 2 and 4 it was in many ways easier to have both of them, since they played together. I could watch them play, instead of being the sole playmate.
I prefer 2, so was REALLY glad I had twins. :D My guys are 9 months old and already play peek-a-boo on their own with each other, while I sit back and catch it all on camcorder.
They fight sometimes already to, but as much as possible I try to let them work it out themselves. At least they are equally matched!
Most of my experience is with 2 of course, but I find 2 is better than 1, except for that 1 and 3 stage. That's a bad one. Helpless baby who is mobile and menacing sometimes jealous toddler.
It was nice when I had the 1 year old to myself, when the 3 year old was in preschool, but by age 2 it was really nicer to have both boys together. The important thing IMO is to make sure they love each other. There are things you can do to help that along, and avoid rivalry, and that will make your whole family a lot more pleasant. I would think about getting a book or two on how to get siblings to get along. My brother and I fought like cats and dogs, and maybe if my parents had helped us with it we could have gotten along better. We were 6 years apart though, which can be a lost cause for siblings!
I'm a big fan of early scheduling and routines, so would definitely consider that with a second baby. It would help your first a lot know what to expect when, and help the new baby sleep longer earlier.
