After upgrade to 10.5, computer doesn't recognize camera when attached

I recently upgraded from OSX 10.3 to 10.5 and ran Software Update. I don't know for sure if it's related, of course, but now nothing happens when I connect my camera to the computer; it used to automatically open iPhoto and go to the import window. Now nothing, not even the clicking in the hard drive when I make the connection. I've checked the USB cable to make sure it's securely in place at both the computer and the camera, and made sure the camera is in the correct mode. I've also tried your troubleshooting basics (Repair Permissions, deleting the plist file, and creating a new system account) none of which worked. I'm ready to try a reinstallation of iPhoto. Is that what you suggest? If so, do I need to uninstall anything before running another installation? And do I run it from the iLife disk? Do I do a custom install of iPhoto only? Or do I run it from either my original system disks that came with the computer or from my new Leopard disk?
Also--I know this is perhaps off topic, but I mention it in case it might be a related problem. Since installing Leopard, my keyboard button that normally opens and closes the disk drawer does not work at all. I'm having to open it by restarting and holding down the mouse button.
Thanks for your time. Sorry if too many questions.

I don't think 10.5 will install on your machine. Check if you have enough MGHz or RAM or some of that stuff smarter people than I talk about.
I have had to stop with 10.3.9 on the iMac. Please let me know if you can install 10.5

After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod.

After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod. Screen lights up when it's plugged in, but it doesn't get to the "connected" state and it doesn't show up on my computer, in the /Volumes folder or in iTunes. This has only started happening after I upgraded to Mavericks.

I should also note, that I have restarted my computer and ipod multiple times and have attempted restarting the SMC on my mac, as per
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
all with no luck.
Also, I have updated to the most recent version of iTunes and have checked that the USB ports are being read correctly through the System Profiler. I have also plugged the ipod into the same ports that worked with my keyboard and mouse, with no different results.

IMovie doesn't recognize camera when external hd is connected

I can't import a movie from my camera into iMovie6 when a external hd is connected.That is,a 400gb LaCie tripple interface or a freecom classic sl hard drive400gb.
When a LaCie Mini 80gb is connected there is no problem.
When one of the above is connected with firewire iM doesn't recognize the camera at all.
When connected with usb2 it does see the camera,but only imports for about two seconds and that quits.
Any suggestions?
Jacqo

Thanks Karsten.
Yes, my camera is a Canon,but not one of the models mentioned in that tech note.
I've solved it now.
Reading your reply gave me a bright idea.
If that is true why can I import with the smaller LaCie hd connected?
Look at the type of firewire cable Jacqo.
Yes,that is a different type of cable;connected the 400g with the cable that came with the 80g hd and eureka,it works.
So it was just a matter of the right type of firewire cable.
Why didn't I think of that earlier.
Again ,Thanks Karsten.

Nano hangs on apple icon when turning on. After several restarts, still will not go past Apple icon. Computer doesn't recognize Nano when plugged in.

I tried to connect iPod Nano this morning to sync Podcasts. Keep getting error that device not found.
Restarted Nano and the screen hangs on the Apple icon & doesn't progress.
I restarted one time and looks like I got into a diagnostics program.
Tried to restart while plugged into computer, still doesn't go past Apple icon.
Any idea on how to get Nano to come up fully and connect to computer via iTunes?

Restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

After upgrading to Yosemite my mac doesn't shut off. The off button doesn't work

After upgrading to Yosemite, my mac doesn't shut off. The off button no longer works. I want to shut the thing off.

Jehreth,
On my Macbook Pro you have to hold the power button down a moment till a little window pops up and asks what you would like to do. Also you can go to:
(  ) Menu > Shut down ...
to shutdown your Mac. Or are you saying that these options do not work?
Hope that helps,
Weston

Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

Hi, Grafiti.
Thank you for the question. Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

Latest iTunes update: computer doesn't recognize DVD drive

I updated iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize my keyboard and my DVD drive.
I was able to get the keyboard back by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I had to do a system restore to get back the DVD drive.
I don't want to reinstall the update until I'm sure this won't happen again.

After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC

After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC
Before that, I can see an botton said my ipad. And then I can click it to operate my ipad

Try this
Go into the control panel. Add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
There seems to be a glitch with a recent update and one way to overcome it is to just start over. If that doesn't work there are more in depth things you can do.

My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and it shows up the apple and nothing is working. What can I do ?

My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and now my iphone displays the apple and I can't use it. What can I do ?

First, try to do a hard reset of your phone. (Hold down the Home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for about 10 seconds. When the screen flashes and the Apple appears again, release the buttons.)
If that doesn't work, then you may have to put your phone in restore mode.
Power off your phone and disconnect it from the USB cable.
Close iTunes.
Then press and hold the Home button and while keeping the Home button pressed down, connect the phone to the USB cable.
Continue to hold the Home button pressed down.
After a few seconds, you should see the display prompt you to connect to iTunes.
After that, you should be able to restore your phone from iTunes.

My computer doesn't recognize my iPod and therefore will not sync my new music

When I plug my iPod up to my computer, my computer doesn't recognize that the iPod is plugged in. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and this iPod has synced with this computer before.

Hy there,
In order for you to solve this problem you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is right under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple ipod and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
If these doesent work try restarting your device and then see what happens.
Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.
