Computer does not recognise camera to import photos

I have always imported photos from this camera without any problems, on this computer.
Today it will not import/show up on the computer or iphoto.
I have nearly 10,000 photos in iphoto.
Have also tried image capture, which does not regognise the cam, please help
g4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   iphoto 5

I have a panasonic DMC-LX2.
I seem to have solved the problem.
The power save button was on '5 minutes', when I turned it off the images were able to be imported!
I have been deleting items from my library to cut down on any future problems.
I now have around 8,600 photos.
I am going to remove all to an external Lacie hardrive.
Thankyou so much for your help.
I have found it invaluable finding the site and will continue to search it!!!

    my i pad shows connect to itunes but my computer does not recognise the devise -- it was ok until i tried to do a software update

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Help my computer does not recognise my hard drive

    Hi All,
    Yesterday I turned my computer on to find that it would not start up. I tried following advice etc about starting up in safe mode etc but no help what I have found is that he computer does not recognise the hard drive anymore so when I out the osx install disk in and run system profiler and disk utility it does not show a hard drive. I have not done anything for this to happen. Can anyone help me with this.
    Thanks.
    Paul

    Instead of using older OS X CD/DVD install to a new drive.
    Where is your backup and clone?
    Buy some drives! that is a must.
    Pick up a FW case, you will need it to put the old drive in, and later, so you have an external and off line drive for backups and maintenance.
    A copy of TechTool Pro 4/5 and Disk Warrior (DW first).
    SuperDuper to clone your drives.
    Demo of Prosoft Data Rescue 3 to scan the drive once you have a system and you put the 'dead' drive in FW case.
    Then do backups and preventative maintenance on a very regular basis and have at least two backup sets.
    If you have been doing that, and know and have read those instructions in the past....

  • IPhoto does not recognise camera since synching with new iPhone

    Ever since I've setup my new iPhone, Iphoto will not recognise my camera (Panasonic DMC-FX36); even though it recognises the iPhone camera OK. I've previously used the Panasonic camera without a problem and this has only started happening since synching the iPhone for the first time (not sure if this is coincidence or not).
    I can't find anything in iPhoto that suggests any settings have changed... I've also tested an older camera (Canon iX series) and found the same problem.
    Most frustrating as I have a heap of photo's of my newborn daughter and no way to share them... and a sinking feeling that I may lose them... any suggestions appreciated.
    Cheers

    Thanks, I should have mentioned that I've tried Image Capture without luck...i.e. no device connected. The Camera actually asks for the prompt PC or Pictbridge... I've always selected PC, now the camera just freezes after I select the PC option... I have a card reader in my printer, but same problem, device not recognised.... Do you suspect it would be the camera or the iPhoto app?

  • Computer does not recognise Adobe Acrobat/Distiller and cannot Pdf

    Hi,
    I recently installed a new version of Adobe creative suite 4, just as an unregistered trial, but I found that my computer could not handle the programs, and began to crash any time I attempted to create a pdf.
    So I uninstalled just the Acrobat part of the package, hoping that I would still be able to use my old Adobe 5 to Pdf from Autodesk CAD.
    However now that I have uninstalled, I still cannot Pdf. And moreover, my computer no longer automatically recognises Adobe 5 as the default program for opening Pdf's, it makes me select the program from a list.
    Is there any way to fix this? Would uninstalling and reinstalling help? Pdfing from CAD is essential to my work.
    Any help would be gratly appreciated!!

    The simplest way is to just do a repair (Control Panel>Add Remove Programs ...). For AA5, it will likely show up at change and remove. Select the change and you should be able to fix things. If that does not work, then uninstall, remove the Acrobat 5 folder, and use the MS Cleanup Tool. Then reboot and install. Acrobat and Reader are such that if you install more than one version, uninstalling any will most likely break all others -- exactly your problem. The association problem can be fixed with Windows explorer, but other things may also be broken that make a repair or reinstall a good idea.

    If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

    The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled".  Did you check if it's enabled:

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • Computer does not recognise javac???

    Hi
    I'm from UK, although I've used one for ages I am new to computing itself and very new to programming - in fact I haven't started yet because I cannot get my JDK to work!! I have downloaded it successfully, it is installed and I have verified the version from athe command prompt. I have written a programme as detailed in my Programming with Java book, and saved it with a java file extension and I am sure it is correct. But when I try to compile mit I get "'javac' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
    My book has no further advice on what to do - can anyone on this site offer me any help please.
    Thanks

    Ok, I'll give it a try.
    You're using Windows NT or 2000 or XP, right?
    Your Java version is 1.5.0_04, right?
    The Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04, right?
    OK, then, follow these instructions to set the PATH in Windows.
    Choose Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click System. On NT, select the Environment tab; on 2000 and XP select the Advanced tab and then Environment Variables.
    Look for "Path" in the User Variables and System Variables. If you're the only computer user, the best place to update is the System Variables. If there are multiple computer users and the "Path" is in both places, choose where you want to change - System Variables will affect all users.
    Add this value (notice the leading semi-colon)
    ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin
    immediately following the existing entry without any intervening spaces.
    Capitalization doesn't matter.
    Click "Set", "OK" or "Apply".
    The PATH is a series of directories separated by semi-colons (;). Windows looks for programs in the PATH directories in order, from left to right. You should only have one bin directory for a JDK in the path at a time (those following the first are ignored), so if one is already present, you can update it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin.
    The new path takes effect in each new Command Prompt window you open after setting the PATH variable.
    Open a new Command Prompt window (Start - Run - "cmd") and type echo %path% which will print the PATH variable contents. Verify that your addition is there.
    If so, type javac - version at the prompt, it will tell you the version and a few other things.

  • HELP!!! My Computer does not recognise my Ipod

    I have a 30G 5th Generation Ipod, and it has worked great on my computer since i bought it. Today, when i plugged it into my computer, it began to charge, but the screen did not change to the "Do Not Disconnect" and the Icon did not show up in my computer or Itunes I put it into disk mode, and it still could not be read by anything..... HELP ME!!!

    I actually have the same problem as the first post. I've used my iPod 5th Gen 30gb without any problems for probably close to a year. Now my iPod charges when I connect it with the USB cable but it never goes into "Do Not Disconnect" and it is not recognised in Windows or in iTunes. Because its not in iTunes there is no way to select it and restore the device. I have tried this on two different computers and used two different Apple USB to iPod cables, same result in both cases. I've gone through the 5 R's and they didn't help at all.
    Anyone have any other ideas before I bite the bullet and pay Apple to try to fix it (well past warrenty).
    No offense to the 2nd and 3rd posters but it sounds like you have a different issue because you were able to perform a restore of your device which would require it to be seen in iTunes.

  • When I connect my iPhone and ipad my computer does not recognise them

    I have dropbox and I require my computer to upload files from my devices so i can backup.
    When I plug any of my devices in they charge so its not the cords.
    When I plug a devices in (Ipad or Iphone) should they appear in finder?
    I can locate them in Iphotos to download the photos but this is time consuming as im double handling.
    Dropbox is now also no longer automatically syncing photos from my phone (I have ask dropbox for support also)
    It cant seem to find the devices when I plug them in... When i go into itunes I can sync to my phone but not from my phone... Which it has just filled my phone up with photos from my computer that I now can't delete of my phone at all I have posted this issue already..
    I have just looked up lots of videos on utube on how to fix this but I can seem to find anything. I really want to delete the 1500 photos and videos of my phone but when i go into itunes my itunes looks different to the one on all utube videos...
    Info in about my macs
    Mac os x   (not sure what mac it is its big and its 2012 model)
    version 10.7.5
    I have also got a mac book air (same probelms)
    I am trying to connect a iphone 4 & 4s and ipad 2 & 3
    Ive updates my itunes and dropbox (on computer) today to see if this could be the issue and its not..
    Please help or any suggestions are very appreciated

    No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
    I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
    You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

  • My computer does not recognise my usb key anymore?

    I have spent the best part of yesterday working of some lessons I needed to prepare.
    Happy with myself I stupidly only saved them on a new external usb key which was at the time recognised by the Mac.
    However, when I tried to plug that key on another pc it asked me to format it?? Obviously I did not has all my work was on it. SO  I returned to my good old Mac and inserted the key... guess what? It refused to recognise it either. I could not even restore anything... Where has my work gone??? How can I retreive it?
    Please, I do understand I should have been a bit more clearver and save it in two location but I did not.. I now need some help, if anyone could I would be so eternaly grateful>

    if one remove usb sticks without first ejecting them this can happen
    the data becomes corrupt
    you can try googling for various tools which may or may not be able to recover the data
    salvage corrupt usb stick
    if they can't then there are companys which make a living on salvaging deleted data but of cause that is pricy
