Camera connector not connecting

New 5G IPOD with a camera connector (-: Followed instructions that came with the accessory and the instructions I found on Apple's web site. I am trying to connect to a canon 20d which is on the apple "supported camera list". But, to no avail...all I get when I connect the camera to the iPod is "unsupported device". I know the cable is good since I can connect the camera to my powerbook and Image Capture grabs the images without a problem. Anyone had success with the camera connector, 5G iPod and a 20D....any tricks?
5G 60GB Mac OS X (10.4.3) Powerbook
Mac OS X (10.4.3)
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Well I not sure how official the report was. This is new Apple store and I was talking with a fledgling genius. His first attempt to get me to go home was that the 5G ipods are not compatible with the camera connector. Then I asked if the camera connector section of the manual was a typo. He took a firmer grip of the might mouse and dug a bit deeper on the mother ship computer. After about a half hour of watching him sweat he made the report that this is an apple engineering issue. Not sure if that is admission of an official problem or some other thing going on. I suspect there will be a fireware upgrade soon...I found some other problems with my iPod that they could not resolve involving syncing with an address book. I was able to get past the unsupported device screen via a suggestion made above. But, the iPod did not "see" the images on my camera therefore did not download them. When I set the camera to PTP mode and connect it to my iPod my camera reports being Busy and does so for a long time...hours. The odd thing is that when I simply plug in the camera connector to the iPod without the camera plugged into it, the iPod reports unsupported device. So I read that to mean that the camera connector itself is an unsupported device. Joys of version 1.0! I am sure this will get worked out but, it may take a while. In the mean time I'll just take more pictures and listen to music. Glad the iPod is a multi-purpose device. I just hate paying for something that doesn't work as advertise.

My camera is "not connected"

I am trying to use Face Time in my new MacBook Pro, but it says that the camera is not connected. Can anyone help?

Hey Mate!
Try resetting the SMC of your Machine, In my experience this has solved this issue.
Also, to see whether your Camera is recognised by the Mac, go to  > About this Mac > More Info > USB > Check whether USB iSight Camera is listed there.
If it is, you can usually determine that the issue isn't Hardware Related, which means that it's Software, which means that it can definitely be fixed.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Zet.

Camera is not connected.

How can I make my camera connect for FaceTime and Photo Booth to work? It keeps telling me that the camera is not connected.

MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac OS update

MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac update
I have a MacBook Air OS X version - 10.9.4 . I updated my mac 1 week before but todayI check that my mac in built camera is not working Even I try to check in this thing in all the apps. Please provide the way how to sort out this issue asap.

Use the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
If your problem continues, restart Mac. Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.
If nothing else works, contact your Apple Service provider or Apple MacBook Support for help.

Camera (annoyingly) not connected

Anybody...please!..I'm trying to import my video clips from my canon camera onto imovies and it keeps telling me my camera is not connected or switched on. My G5 is only 7 months old, the very odd thing is it has worked fine before and all of a sudden it's decided not to. This has also happened to my friend, and she has a sony camera. If anyone has any suggestions I would be so happy.

Hi Nikki
Capture/Import problems:
a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
b) dont Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
e) Bad RAM-chips
f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
g) FW-wire cable OK?
h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)

My internal camera is not connected

my internal camera was working fine and then one day i tried to skype, but couldnt find the camera. I uninstalled skype and tried the camera & it was working. today I went to use iphoto and it said that my camera is not connected. my macbook air is less than 12 months old. can someone help.

No.
Sometimes simply restarting Mac gets things working again. Perhap that's what got your camera going again.
However, if your camera's problem continues or begins to occur more often, try Apple's suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 which include the SMC/PMU reset suggestion captfred has already linked.
Always test more than one app in more than one user account.
(Apple has changed the camera's name on new Macs from iSight to FaceTime or FaceTime HD camera, but the same info and troubleshooting applies to all regardless of the name.)
If none of the Troubleshooting suggestions help you, you may have a hardware problem that will require a professional fix. If so, make a current backup of your startup disk and then use the final suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

Camera Connector not working anymore with iPod Video

Hello,
I have a iPod Video 60GB which I bought last year along with a Camera Connector.
The problem I have, is that the Connector isn't recognised by the iPod anymore. Even when the camera is on and connected at the other end. The camera is a Sony DSC-V3 which has worked fine before.
But, I'm assuming the problem is with the Connector since, before the iPod would recognise the connector and show the 'connect device' screen.
The iPod still says, 'connect device', when I go through the menu and choose Photo>Photo Import
I've been tearing my hair out for over a week with this, with no luck.
Any insight as to how I could fix this? Also, has anyone else come across a similar problem?
Thanks and best regards,
Chris

IPad Camera connector not recognizing anything...

Hi,
I have just got a second hand iPad (original). I have also got a knock-off usb connector off ebay.
I want to be able to sync my Canon 40D with the iPad. This should be no problem google tells me. The iPad is running 4.3.2
I plug in the connector & camera into the iPad, turn on the camera - nothing happens.
I put the memory card into a usb memory card reader and connect it to the ipad - nothing happens.
I plug my iPhone into the iPad - nothing happens.
I plug a Apple USB keyboard into the iPad - nothing happens.
Using the same connector I plug the USB keyboard into my iPhone - I get a warning that this accessory is not for the iPhone.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, instinct is telling me that the knock-off usb connector from ebay is the weakest link here but as the iPhone threw a wobbly when I connected it I'm thinking maybe that's actually working and the problem is with the iPad...
Can anyone please suggest any additional troubleshooting here?

Dan-
At least you are not getting the error message about the USB device drawing too much current!
When you say nothing happens, are you running the Photos App on the iPad at the time? I don't know if it is supposed to open automatically, but that is where imported Photos will go. That is where I see thumbnails of photos on the camera's card, either connecting from the camera or using a USB card adapter.
Are you sure there are pictures on the card in the camera? When I made comparisons between different cameras, the card might or might not show up when it had been reformatted.
Did they get there by taking them with that camera? I understand the Photos App requires images to be in a standard format, and inside the correct folder name on the camera card. If you just copied random images to the card, they might not have the right file name format or be in the right place.
What about trying it with a friend's iPad? If that doesn't work, I would suspect the adapter wasn't good enough. If it does, then your iPad may have a defective connection.

OIM AD Connector - not connecting to AD LDAP

Hello,
I'm new to Oracle Identity Management, so it could be some trivial misconfiguration issue.
I've installed OIM on a Windows Server 2003 with AD and Exchange already configured (with several user accounts).
Next, I've installed the AD connector for OIM and configured the 'AD Server' resource as follows:
Name: ADITResource
Type: AD Server
Admin FQDN: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=COM // tested with a LDAP browser - ok
Admin Login: Administrator
Admin Password: *****
Allow Password Provisioning: yes
Port Number: 636
Root Context: OU=HQ1,DC=mydomain,dc=COM // tested with a LDAP browser - ok
SSL Port Number: 636
Server Address: 127.0.0.1
Use SSL: yes
isADAM: no
isLookupDN: no
I then configured the ActiveDirectoryReconTask, using the ADITResource above.
When I run the task, it runs instantly, but nothing actually happens.
In the JBoss console, I get a lot of lines saying:
INFO [ACCOUNTMANAGEMENT] UsernamePasswordLoginModule/initialize : Un-authenticated Identity: Unknown
and then an exception saying:
ERROR [APIS] Class/Method: tcLookupOperationsBean/getLookupValuesFilteredData encounter some problems: The LookupCode 'null' does not exist.
In the Deisgn Console, under Reconciliation Manager, there are no results.
I then tried to set up the ADITResource to not use SSL and connect to port no. 389.
Same results, JBoss console throws the same errors and exceptions.
I also tried running the AD connector test, runADTest.bat, but that didn't work either (it could not create the test user into AD).
With SSL, the runADTest.bat error is:
[OIMCP.ADCS],The error occured in ADClient::connectorToAvailableAD():127.0.0.1:636; socket closed.
[OIMCP.ADCS],Class/Method: ADClient/creatingUser encounter some problems: Connection Error Occur
[OIMCP.ADCS],User Createdfalse
Without SSL, the runADTest.bat error is:
[OIMCP.ADCS],The error occured in ADClient::createObject():LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001CD, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of: 'OU=HQ1,DC=mydomain,DC=COM'
[OIMCP.ADCS],User Createdfalse
Again, the "OU=HQ1,DC=mydomain,DC=COM" is valid.
Any clues ?
Thanks,
Chris
Edited by: user11699987 on Jul 16, 2009 5:31 AM

Right, did that.
Now, the user did not show up in AD.
In the web console, under the user's details -> Resource Profile, I get:
Resource name: AD User
Status: Provisioning
Description: 25
Under Manage Scheduled Task, the Scheduled Provisioning Task ran and now it's Inactive.
Should I look elsewhere ?
Thanks !
UPDATE:
Now it has the 'Rejected' status.
Response: Organisation does not exist.
Response Description: Organization Unit Does not exist in target system.
Now, I know for sure that the target OU is there..

ISight camera will not connect...

...from my network anyway! I have firewall turned off on my MBP, my wireless router settings have firewall settings off AND my ISP (DSL) router firewall settings are off. It works on my network at the office but any time I try to connect (one-way or otherwise) from home, no dice.
Anyone have any tips?

Hi Ken,
In this case the modem itself is routing to your LAN.
This will almost certainly mean that the ports needed for iChat will have to be opened. (See Rj's first post re Firewall and Ports)
By default most domestic devices that route have ports up to port 1024 open. This allows common apps like Web browsing and mail to work "Out-of-the-Box".
iChat uses a total of 29 ports for iChat to work with AIM, Jabber and Bonjour.
They also use two interent protocols as well.
TCP 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298
UDP 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403
More on why and which does which here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page3.html
In your Network Preferences it will list a "router" IP towards the bottom. This should be the default IP to use in a Web Browser to access the modem's set up pages.
This page http://portforward.com/routers.htm may list your device. By clicking it you will come to a list of Applications and Games that you can also click on.
This will lead to a specific set of instructions for that APP.
Currently that site does not have the right ports for iChat (it used to).
However at the top of the page it will give you instructions on how to access the device with default User ID and Passwords as well as the IP.
Next we have to know if the 192.168.xxx.xxx IP that you computer gets is given out from the modem by it doing DHCP.
(you have one level of DHCP to the ISP that by the nature of the modem stops there)
IF the modem is doing DHCP to the LAN then we have to make sure it or the Wireless router are not doing it.
iChat does not like it when two devices on a LAN are doing DHCP (The nature of routers is that they allow the passing of addressing data through. This creates subnets.
Modem to Computer via router
Router to computer.
As the router is "closer" you only see this IP in the Network prefs. In some circumstances you may want to use two IPs, but iChat is not one of them.
If we know the Modem make and Model and the same for the wireless router we could point you at more direct info.
The goal is to have only 1 DHCP server and one instance of NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is how the modem and router move data arriving on one IP number to the number(s) on the other side of the device. There are about 6 main ways of doing this which in iChat's case can lead to problems betewwn either end. Port Forwarding, Port Triggering and DMZ are all use NAT
Now unfortunately differnt routing devices do different things when you change the settings.
Turning Off DHCP in an Apple Airport device makes it a Wireleess Access Point. It allows any addressing from the modem to control the LAN.
Most other devices, if you turn Off DHCP, require that you set Static addresses.
Static addressing limits the data from one device to the next.
To acheive the goal of avoiding NAT being done twice you may need to use Static addressing with UPnP (a non NAT way of opening the port) between the devices.
Modem <-> Router <-> computer
This is two subnets but they are closed and independent of each other.
I know this is a lot of info. It can be shorter if we know what devices you have.
