No camera shown on import

I have this weird problem, I have EOS 400D camera, it always used to work fine with Aperture 2, but when I click IMPORT on 3.x, only "MacBook Pro" is shown, no camera. I always have to turn it on/off to finally get it shown on list and be able to import. Am I not doing something right? I have everything installed like it should be, camera works fine on other machines/software. Help?

Upgrade to Lion broke iMovie 08 - iSight Camera - No camera connected - To import video, please connect a camera - error message

I recently upgraded to OSX Lion. My MackBoo Pro is fully patched and updated. I can launch iMovie 08 but when i try to record or import video from camera it get the error message. No Camera Connected - To import video, please connect a camera.
All my other applications work fine with iSight including iChat, Skype, PhotoBooth. So why would a specific upgrade to Lion break iMovie 08?
I looked at the other posts on this topic and no one has a really solid explination or fix.
help please!!

That is odd. When logged into Discussions, the Profile tab on my personal Apple Support Communities > People page includes the following screen-shot from immediately below the big avatar picture:

If you want to fix your problem, it is time to reinstall and updated to the most current iMovie '08 version.
If you did not buy iLife '08 separately, perhaps it was included in the Software Applications disk(s) that came with your Mac.

Has your colleague reinstalled and updated iLife after upgrading to Lion?
I am using iMovie '11 (version 9.0.4), so I cannot test your specific version. iMovie 9.0.4 is properly working for me after I restarted it one time.
However, depending on individual system configurations, Lion compatibility may be version dependent. For example, this forum post contains reports of iLife '08 (and even older) working with Lion. Moreover, as shown in this screen-shot from the roaringapps listing, it is the newer versions that may have problems:
Your version 7.1.4 should work with no trouble if all your Apple software is up to date.

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT3481 Panasonic TZ40 camera, single video import problem

Connecting my new Panasonic TZ40 camera by cable to my iMac (lion OS- iMovie 11) uploads stills OK but video is a problem, the camera format is AVCHD. A single video uploads 9 separate files - see below - and without the audio sound track.
.MTS .CPI .CPI .MPL .TDT .TID .BDM .BDM .DAT
The .MTS has a big memory (the others are very small) and will play in VLC player I have on my Mac, but without sound. I tried running it through a video convertor software which converts it successfully to AVI without audio, as you would expect because the original has no sound in the .MTS file.
I was aware that Mac did not readily support AVCHD in the past but was assured by the Camera shop that it was now OK - which it plainly is not. Is there an easy workaround without losing the HD quality, or would I be wise to take it back to the camera shop and choose another camera manufacturer that is more compatible with a Mac, if so what make would other members recommend.
My previous camera was a Samsung which recorded AVI files which I uploaded and was able to import into iMovie without any problems.

I have sorted the sound issue, it was an unrelated problem to the Panasonic TZ40 recording.
However, I think there may be a misunderstanding of the importing of the video/movie from the camera. I import the camera stills and video/movies directly into a computer folder through the Adobe Bridge 'Get images from camera' icon. I do not want to import video/movies directly into iMovie as I do not always need to edit them imediatly (if at all sometimes) and I prefer the originals to be in a folder. I have tried settings of 50 and 50i but still get the same results.
I have converted the .MTS file to a .AVI (and other formats) which iMovie successfully opens, but the .MTS file at 100MB is reduced to 50MB in .AVI and others. My concern is that one of the reasons I bought this camera was for its HD1920 video/movie, if the pre edited conversion is going to reduce the quality then the camera does not do what I asked of the seller.
Basically if I cannot make use of the HD1920 facility in this camera then I need another make which will import an HD1920 video/movie in a format that Mac can hold in a folder and iMovie can import at that quality. If anyone has any recommendations I would be glad to hear them.

Filming on a Panisonic 24p camera but I imported it into final cut with a Sony HD camera. Will this mess up the quality of of my shots when I ad slow motion? I have noticed that the slow mo is a little chopy. PLEASE HELP!....

24p is captured with your standard "DV-NTSC" easy setup, whereas 24pA is captured with the "DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown" easy setup. Correct me if I'm wrong I still have yet to work in 24pA.

Has anyone else found that Sony XAVC 4K files are flagged as camera files in Import?

Has anyone else found that Sony XAVC 4K files are flagged as camera files in Import?
It sems that because they are being seen as a camera it is not possible to leave them in place on import?
I have already backed up the camera files onto Thunderbolt drives and therefore I don't want them to be moved again!!
Can I force FCPX to see the Ext HDD as a volume not a Camera?
Thank you
Jules

Hi Tom
Thank you for your reply,
Surely all files originated from a camera? If I back them up to an external drive and clone them onto another drive for editing with FCPX, I don't expect them to be seen as camera files which FCPX then copies again just so that I can edit them. I just want to leave them in place, but FCPX doesn't give me that option.
It seems that FCPX has failed at the first hurdle. It is forcing me to have to buy extra storage just so that FCPX can copy them on import. Surely, if FCPX can handle them natively then why does it have to move them?

IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera

iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed

I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

Files from camera won't import into iPhoto Library

I have a problem that came up just recently. Whenever I try to import .jpg and .mov files from my camera (Kodak EasyShare), only a few or none of the files are imported into my Library. A window comes up that says, "The following files could not be imported. (The import failed.)" Also, if any files do upload, it takes a very long time. I never had this problem earlier this year, and I've been importing files for a year or so. Please help! Thank you so much!!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
Are any of the movies long (ie large files)? iPhoto sometimes does not like large movies imported directly from the camera but will import them from the desktop
Things to try
1 - will your camera mount to the desktop - if so you can import directly into iPhoto using the File menu ==> import to library command or can drag the photos form the card to a desktop folder and then import them from there into iPhoto
2 - use image capture (in your applications folder) to import to a desktop folder
3 - a USB card reader

My macbook pro recognizes my sd card on the desktop, but when i go to the imovie importer it goes straight to isight camera. Ive imported via this method before but now i dont know whats going on.

Use iMovie > Help on your Mac or here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2153
Treat the "sd card on the desktop" as a connected hard disk.

Will Apple Camera Connector Kit Import .PDF files?

Will Apple Camera Connector Kit Import .PDF files? I need to import large (60MB plus) .PDF files created in Powerpoint to my iPad. They are too large to be practical for e-mail.

Open GoodReader on the iPad. Click on the wifi icon in the menu bar at the bottom of the app. A popup window will open up giving you your local URL. Open Safari on the desktop computer and place that URL in the address bar. A page will open up with directions on how to send a file. The file will be send over the wifi connection to your iPad.
To add a little... In Safari on the desktop computer. Select file to upload: Choose file--->Navigate to the file on your desktop computer---> Click on the Upload selected file button. There will be a red warning box in the popup window on the iPad. When that disappears the the transfer is complete. If you get a warning can't find page in Safari you don't have the wifi connection in Goodreader turned on. Just click on the wifi icon button in Goodreader to fix. You can bookmark the URl in Safari fir later use.

Lightroom removes the camera metadata on import.

Lightroom removes the camera metadata on import. It started I think when I turned on the option for finding locations through GPS data. I have since turned it off but it still wipes camera data on import. Please help.

So I don't know what happen but my photos were being put into an auto-upload folder when synced before I sorted them out. Occasionally I would start editing the photos here. At some point during that process Lightroom had asked me about auto looking up location data off the gps data. So now under metadata right where I found the camera, lens and all that information I was to find empty gps data listed. I tried removing and re adding that folder and resyncing the metadata but nothing worked. I turned off the gps setting which I thought was causing the problem but it didnt fix it. So I reloaded the photos onto my pc and put them in the proper folders and loaded them into lightroom that way. Bingo! Camera data! I dont know what really happened but I think when I changed that setting permanently caused a problem with my auto-upload folder. I will try again to load photos into Lightroom via the auto-upload folder and see if it is missing data. I will respond when I have tried that. Thanks for all the responses.

Every picture I import changes from one simple photo to 16 pictures when I try to move them to a folder. Why? I can import from my iphone or my camera and they import fine but then I can't move them anywhere without this crazy page of 16 photos appearing

When I import pictures from either my camera or my iphone via photo stream then attempt to place them anywhere; in a folder for instance, the picture appears in the new folder as 16 small individual identical pictures. The tiny pictues are like a kalidescope and there is no way you can see them or work with them. What is happening? Why are they changing in this wacky way? I'm not very familiar with iphoto or Mac's in general but I'm not doing more than clicking import to import and dragging them into folders.

If you want help with what you are doing you have to tell us what you are doing, how you are doing it and what you have.
iPhoto does not modify anything during import - it makes a bit for bit copy of the original
What version of iPhoto and of the OS do you have? What camera? What mode are you shooting in? (I have an older Sony camera that do this in one mode)
How are you moveing photos and to where (in iPhotoi it is not possible to have photos in folders - folders only hold other folders or albums)
In short we can not see your or your computer and we can only work with details you provide - and they must match iPhoto language
