Macbook doesn't see my camera

I have a Macbook running SnowLeopard. I recently purchased a Canon Powershot SX30. I can remove the card and use a card reader but can not get the Macbook to recognize the camera when I plug the USB cord from the camera to the computer. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • My laptop and itunes is not seeing the ipod. the ipod is charging, so it sees the macbook. But the macbook doesn't see it. HELP.

    My laptop and itunes are not seeing my ipod classic. the ipod is charging, so it sees the macbook. But the macbook doesn't see it. I have the most recent itunes loaded. the usb connection is fine. I've rebooted the laptop, I've rebooted the ipod. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

  • What files do I need to download iPhone photos to a thin client (HP)? Apple Mobile Support gives 4 dll files to enable the iPhone to be detected and charged but the thin client doesn't see the camera or hard drive.

    The iTunes Installation files include 4 driver dlls that I can install on a Windows thin client to enable the iPhone to be charged.
    The iPhone hard drive or photos are not detected.  I guess I need scanner driver support to cope with the camera.
    Can anyone tell me which files from the iTune installation set are needed.
    It is not practical (or even possible?) to install the whole iTunes package.
    I've seen this question asked by a lot of people but never seen an answer. 
    Please, can someone help... 

    Thanks for the reply. 
    A thin client is used to connect to a Terminal Server, or in my customer's case, a Citrix Server.  I need the thin client to see the iPhone as a camera and pass it to the Citrix Client so the photos can THEN be either stored on a network storage device, or e-mailed.
    Because the thin client doesn't even SEE a camera (i.e. the iPhone) it won't be able to connect to iCloud to do anything useful. 
    I think the question I should be asking, is how do I give the thin client Camera Support.
    I've just seen a 2008 forum comment that said the iPhone DOESN'T handle photos through iTunes, but the PC (Scanner support) or MAC (iPhoto) handles them directly.  I should be putting the question to HP.
    This is still a good place for THIS question, because I've seen so many iPhone users asking it...
    If I get a satisfactory answer I'll post it back here.

  • Macbook doesn't see my network connection

    My Macbook Pro (bought July 2012) doesn't see my wifi network at home but see others available. When I join other networks in different country (I travel a lot) and come home I can see it but when the mac goes to sleep I cannot connect again. Tried to find the help online, nobody seems to have the same issue. PC sees the network just fine.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • IPod doesn't see digital camera

    Just bought a 60gb photo iPod. iPod didn't see my Canon DCS W-7 camera with the iPod camera connector inserted. Turned out it was the membrane case I had the iPod in prevented the connecter from being fully inserted. Lesson here is make sure the iPod camera connector is fully inserted into the iPod.

    hey,
    I had the songs I wanted to have on my ipod in the itunes library, and dragged from there into an explorer window as 'G:/removable hard-drive' (my ipod)
    that should be correct?
    still, it doesn't work
    btw I found out something.. it sais the file type of the new songs I tried to add to be 'm4a'.. whereas it calls the ones that do work 'mp3'
    how can I make sure files in the library I transport will be mp3?
    thanks in advance

  • Built-in isight camera: system profiler doesn't see the camera

    Photo Booth displays the "no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application" message, and the System Profiler no longer lists the isight camera under the USB device section.
    Also, the green light doesn't turn on during any of my attempts to use the camera.
    I've "Repaired Permissions" from the Disk Utility, to no effect. I've also rebooted a number of times.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi, Kieran,
    I would suggest trying a PMU reset, and if that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd call AppleCare, since your MacBook should still be under warranty.
    I had the exact same issues with mine and tried everything you listed. I also tried a PMU reset, and that worked once, but when I turn my computer off for the night, the camera stopped being recognized again the next day. I called AppleCare for help, and my computer is currently with them having this problem repaired.
    Sorry I'm not anymore helpful than that, but it's always good to know when someone else has the exact same problem.

  • Time Capsule set up and wifi network OK but MacBook doesn't see capsule as airport device.  Do I need to do a hard reset and start again?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and sucessfully set it up in accordance with the instruction book.  The home network and guest network seem to work fine but my MacBook cannot find the Time Capsule wirelessley.
    Initially I set up the time capsule connected to the MacBook with an ethernet cable.  The Time Machine got 30GB way through a 60GB initial back up and then stopped for no obvious reason.  Since then the capsule has not been visible to the MacBook.  I have tried to reconfigure through Airport Utility but even after reperated rescans the capsule remains invisible.
    Any help would be extremely welcome.

    1. i would restore the express to factory defaut by holding the reset button on the unit with a paperclip while you are powering it on
    2. if it restored, you should be able to see it in your wifi icon at top of screen as "airport express"
    or you can see it in airport utility
    3. then if you want to connect it wirelessly to your time capsule, you would choose "extend network" and put in relevant security and password....this would make the express a wireless access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)
    if you chose to do it wired which is a better way if you have access to ethernet port at wall, you would choose "create a wireless network" and then under the "network" tab you would choose "Bridge Mode".....this would make the express a wired access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)

  • Log and Transfer doesn't "see" my camera

    I just got back from an afternoon of recording the kids -- plug the camera into the computer, launch FCE and go to the log and transfer screen -- -and nothing. Panic now sets in. There seems to be nothing to be done, to get FCE to recognize the folder structure on my Canon Vixia FFS10 camera. What's up with that. (Why it needs a folder structure is strange to say the least)
    It's not like the .MTS files aren't there. there's about 6GB of content that I'm anxious to get started transcoding. Is there something i'm missing on the log and transfer screen? The No Name disk is on my desktop, and using finder I can see the MTS files -- why FCE can't is strange.
    Suggestions?

    I don't think I changed format on the SD card, although I can't be 100% sure, since I didn't format the card before today's shoot.
    What I ended up doing, is copying the MTS files from the card to a scratch drive, and convert them to AIC using Voltaic, which I'm guessing is all the log and transfer does anyway.
    Having done that I formatted the card, using the camera, then shot of a clip, and sure enough now the camera (which is no longer called no name, but rather called canon) is recognized by FCE and it looks like all is now working.
    Is there a way to sending feed back to apple for future versions. It still seems to me that Log and Transfer is a bit too particular, when it comes to AVCHD.

  • My Computer doesn't see iPhone camera roll.

    Hey everyone!
    This is my first time posting here and I'm in a bit of a pickle so I hope someone can help me!!
    My problem: I have an iPhone 3G and I noticed that after upgrading to 3.0 and then 3.0.1 that My Computer (I run Vista) can't see my iPhone camera roll thus preventing me from copying any pictures to my hardrive. iTunes works fine - but I have to manually sync when the program is loaded. I've tried reloading everything, going back to older versions of both iTunes and the iPhone OS but with the same result - no iPhone icon in My Computer.
    Any suggestions???

    Might be driver problem. Try "update" the driver for Apple Iphone in Device Manager. Choose update then choose driver file from "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
    If that's not working. Unplug your iPhone. Then try uninstall Apple Iphone driver from Device Manager. After that, reboot, and plug in your iPhone. Vista now should start install 'new hardware' driver. Voila.

  • IPhoto doesn't see my camera, but Finder does. Sometimes works, sometimes not.

    Sometimes, when I connect my camera to my iMac via a USB port, iPhoto does not see the device. Normally, iPhoto starts automatically when the camera is connected. The problem occurs whether or not iPhoto is not running and is initiated manually, or is already running when the camera is connected. In all cases, Finder sees the device and shows it in its list of active devices.
    I have been using this camera and this iMac for a few years without any problems. This problem has only starting occuring in the last two weeks.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    John

    In response to a similar problem reported, it was suggested to repair disk permissions using the disk utility. I did this, but it had no effect. However, after restarting my iMac, the problem was resolved. So, don't know if repairing disk permissions had any effect, or whether simply restarting cleared the problem. Next time it occurs, I will simply restart to see if this is all that is needed.

  • One Year Old MacBook Doesn't See 5GHz Time Capsule

    My son's MacBook (13" 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, Machine ID MacBook4,1, running Mac OS X 10.5.7) seems to be unable to connect to my first-generation Time Capsule that is configured to operate over 802.11n on the 5GHz band (the 2.4GHz band is very crowded here).
    His MacBook has a AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88) card by Broadcom (firmware BCM43xx 1.0 5.10.38.35) -- the same version of firmware I have on my MacBook Pro (which has no difficulty making the connection).
    Question: Shouldn't that generation MacBook work with the 5GHz 802.11n TC?
    Does anyone have an idea as to why it isn't working and/or a suggestion what to do about it? Are there specific frequencies or channels to be avoided (I use Automatic, but that was by default).
    Thank you.

    Thanks forks for the posts. To reply to your questions in order:
    GD, the Time Capsule does put out 5GHz -- and it is currently configured to "5GHz (only)" mode.
    BT, the password is unmodified, the MacBook has been power cycled (as has AirPort) on numerous occasions. The network is currently configured as "Closed," though that can (and will) be toggled for testing purposes. I'll let you know.
    I will also try setting the frequency manually (on a high channel, then a low one, etc.) instead of using "Automatic." I learned, from related reading, that some 802.11n radios cannot acquire all the specified frequencies, so maybe "Automatic" landed on one that this MacBook can't deal with.
    I'll report back on the outcome of testing later today.
    Again, thank you.

  • HT2801 I have a 2009 MacBook with an optical drive built in. It has "spotty" performance lately, so I got a USB super drive for Christmas. Unfortunately, the MacBook doesn't "see" it. Any solutions?

    I have a 2009 MacBook with an optical drive. It is becoming unreliable, and as a result, I got a USB SuperDrive for Christmas. Problem, neither my MacBook, nor my iMac (2008) recognize the drive.  What's the issue? I thought I could get a few more years out of my MacBook by using an external USB optical drive.

    The USB SuperDrive is only designed to work with a few Mac computers.....specificaly the ones that do not have an internal Optical Drive...

  • My mac doesn't see my broadcast dv camera either in final cut or imovie

    Trying to take video we shot on professional panasonic camera and load it on the mac using imovie or final cut express. Imovie acts like it's importing but the file is empty (no media attached). Tried to move the files to drive but the macbook pro doesn't see the camera in the finder (using firewire or usb). HELP!
    Final cut express doesn't show the camera at all as a source.

    Lara,
    Without specific details we can't even begin to help you.
    What make/model camera shot the video? Are you trying to use the same camera to capture the video with iMovie or Final Cut Express?
    Exactly what codec/settings did you use for shooting the video?  DV? HDV?  AVCHD?  1920x1080i60?  1280x720p30?  Something else?
    Have you ever captured video from this camera before?  With this Mac before?
    If you are using a different camera for capturing purposes, what make/model is it?
    How are you connecting the camera to your Mac?  USB?  FireWire?
    Cameras generally do not show up in the Finder; but if you look in System Profiler you should see it listed under Hardware > USB or > Firewire depending on how it is connected to your Mac.
    What versions of OS X, iMovie and Final Cut Express are you using?
    In Final Cut Express, what Easy Setup are you using?

  • IChat doesn't see my isight camera

    My isight camera shows up as a connected firewire device on the system profiler, but ichat doesn't see a camera connected. Neither does the isight updater, when i try to run it. this is an old camera i used to used with an imac; been sitting in a drawer for years.

    Welcome to Discussions, Wide Bob
    Previous Discussions posts on the topic show that it is not unusual for people who store external iSights for long periods, particularly inside the plastic shipping case or in places like briefcases or desk drawers that move, to find that their iSight has stopped working and requires professional repair. (There are no user-serviceable parts inside iSight.) Based on these reports, I never put my iSight back in its case for transport or long storage without a fresh desiccant pack and some way to cushion the camera.
    At this point, test your external iSight using the suggestions from this link:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html  
    If you still want to use a webcam but nothing there helps you get your iSight working (with any Apple apps in any user account you test), I can offer two alternatives:
    (1) A new Mac compatible webcam: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
      (more details in User Tip: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211 )
          - or -
    (2) Check whether your external iSight can be repaired.
