Camera fails to connect

When I connect my camera (Canon SX200) via a mini-USB lead it fails to be recognised as a USB device. If the SD card is placed in a card reader - using the same lead - it's perfectly readable.
Is this problem caused by:
a: me
b: Canon
c: Apple
?

For some time now cameras connected to our Macs have been slow to be recognized.
My case:
early 2006 core duo iMac updated to 10.6.3
Set to launch Image Capture when my camera is connected.
My wife's case:
1st edition MacBook Air updated to 10.6.3
Set to launch iPhoto when her camera is connected.
Both normally had bluetooth turned off but I also recently added a Magic Mouse and turned bluetooth on for my iMac which clouded my thinking.
Last night I read the following note hinting at bluetooth as the culprit:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20004261-263.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Ma cFixIt
But since my wife's bluetooth is off, I discounted this as the answer in her case.
1. I booted from my external drive which still has 10.6.2 and the problem disappeared.
2. I booted from my internal drive (10.6.3) but logged into a guest account and made sure bluetooth was off, and it seemed OK.
So back into my account and Bluetooth preferences.
I found it trying to keep track of my cell phone bluetooth (which I occasionally use to download photos from the phone.
I also found it trying to keep track of the MacBook Air (which I have connected to in the past via Bluetooth to transfer files).
I deleted both references and on my iMac the problem was gone.
On my wife's MB Air, even though bluetooth was turned off, I found a reference to my iMac in the bluetooth preferences (because of my past connections) and deleted that. This fixed her problem with slow camera recognition.
My conclusion, something got changed in 10.6.3 to do with bluetooth that caused this problem of slow camera recognition. If you encounter this yourself, look to the bluetooth preferences and hope that 10.6.4 will put things back the way they were!

FaceTime fails to connect snow leopard imac

The setup is a home network with ethernet to an up-to-date snow leopard iMac and the WiFi on the same subnet, running off of a Linksys wft54g with the latest firmware. uPnP is enabled on the router.
From a Macbook Air with Lion on a network at work, I can call and receive FaceTime calls to the iPhone on the home WiFi network.
However, FaceTime rings but fails to connect on the iMac.
So, Facetime to/from iPhone is going through the same home router over the same network using the same DNS, etc.. and it works.
But Facetime to/from the iMac does not. I've tried with the firewall on/off on the iMac as well as google DNS, etc., with no luck.
If the Lion MBA is on the same network, all works fine.
Any ideas? What is different about Facetime btw iPhone and snow leopard iMac that causes this difference?
Much appreciated.

HI. I have a macbook air 1.3 ghz intel core i5 / 4gb 1600 mhz ddr3, and i use OS X mav 10.9.4.
Today i tryed to conect facetime either to another same macbook air or iphone 5 and i cant see my camera image.
Facetime opens and i can get audio but no image at all.
Preferences are not available on menu. if i click, it goes gray (notjing shows up) then its impossible to see it.
I have tryed reinstaling os x and also reset smc and nothing worked so far.
I open photo both and image not showing also. open skype and camera preview not showing.
Could it be a problem with my camera? if so, why cant i log in my facetime preferences??
Tks

Ipad2 'fails to connect' to my Wifi.

My Ipad2 'fails to connect' to my Wifi whereas my Iphone 3GS successfully connects and works without issue on the same router. Wifi is WEP encrypted with 26 character code. The Ipad 2 sees the network, yet will not connect. I have tried the 'reset network settings' option and I'm looking for any further suggestions?

The process of checking your router settings depends on the router you have. You will need the manual that came with your router. If you don't have one, you probably can download a manual from the router manufacturer's website.
Basically the process is starting your web browser on a computer that is connected to your network. Entering the IP address of the router in the web address line. Usually the IP address of the router is the same as the IP address of the computer connected to your network except the last number is 1. For example if the IP address of the computer is 192.168.0.132, then the IP address of the router would be 192.168.0.1.
The next question you may have is how do you find the IP address of the computer. If you have a Windows computer, go to Start/Run or Start/Programs/Accessories/Run. Type in "CMD" (no quote marks) and press the Enter key. A DOS window will appear. At the command prompt type "ipconfig" and press the Enter key. The resulting listing should show you the IP address of the computer and the IP address of your router (listed as Default Gateway.) If you have a Mac I can't help you, because I don't have a Mac, but I'm sure someone on this forum would be able to help.
Once you enter th IP Address of your router, you should get a login screen. You will need to log into the router. Note that the login password is not the network passcode. If you do not know the Admin login name and password and you are sure no one has changed the password from the default, the router manual will have this information.
When you are logged into the router you need to consult the router manual to find out how to check the settings. If purchance you have a D-link DIR-625 I can help.

Canon 7D Mark II fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.

Canon 7D2 fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.
The camera connection does work with Canon EOS Utility.
LR sees the camera but fails to establish and maintain connection. See small video clip to view the camera and computer behaviour while attempting to connect.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28457054/7D2%20tethered%20test.m4v
I also have the Canon 5D3 and have no issues connecting with various software (EOS Utility, LR, Helicon Remote) on that computer. I have a MacBookPro mid-2009 running OS X 10.8.5. Lightroom, Camera Raw and EOS Utility are up to date, same goes for the 7D2 firmware.

It usually takes many months and perhaps more than one version of LR before tethering is supported after raws are supported. The first hurdle is for the camera manufacturer to release a new SDK with the camera supported, so Adobe can’t have tethering ready when raw support is because a camera isn’t added until after it is announced. Canon has added the 7D.2 to their SDK about two weeks after the camera was available, so the ball is in Adobe’s court:

Keep getting error message "Failed to connect to the device" when......

Hi,
I keep getting the following message:
(this is an icon in this area of a camera sitting on pictures)
Failed to connect to the device.
-Check the I/F cable connection between the device and your computer
-Please turn off the device once, and then turn ON the device again.
Then try again.
[MTW005] OK (this is highlighted like you can click on it, but nothing happens when you click on it)
I don't have this device even plugged in because I haven't a need for it. Yet the message keep showing up. I thought I would out smart the error message and plugged in the device (ScanDisk 4 in 1 (media card) reader. But I was the one out smarted. Nothing changed. I still have the error message, even after restarting the computer or shutting down and turning back on. All I can do with the message is slide it the edges of my screen display so it isn't in the way. Help, how do I get rid of this problem. This has happened before and then one day the error message disappears for awhile to only come back yesterday to drive me nuts (short drive by the way).

Hello,
Try going to Macintosh HD > Applications > Image Capture > Image Capture menu > Preferences... > General tab > "When a camera is connected, open: " set it to 'iPhoto' or 'No Application'.

HELP: CameraWindow DC "Failed To Connect To The Server"

Just purchased a Powershot SX280 HS. It is fantastic little camera. I have been a Nikon guy for years, but this camera really has changed my mind. I am having a challenge however. I am unable to complete the camera setup through CameraWindow DC, as every time I try to "Set Up Web Services," and Log In, I get the message "Failed To Connect To The Server." I am completely registered, and can log in and access Canon Image Gateway, as well as upload content. WIFi tests out good, and I am able to connect from camera to both my iPhone and iPod. Do you think the CIG server may be down on their end? I am simply trying to complete setup so that I can get the Fscebook and Twitter interface on the Powershot. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem with my ELPH 330 HS and called customer service yesterday. Here's what needed to happen to fix it:
1) In the "Canon" folder under "Program Files" that is created when you install the software, there is a subfolder called "WirelessCameraConnectionSetting". Within that folder is an exe file called "WirelessCameraConnectionSetting.exe". Double click it and go through prompts, if any.
2) Make sure you've already created a user account on Canon's site.
3) Double-check that your camera is listed as registered under your user profile. I had registered my camera before creating my user account, and so even though I had received an email congratulating me on registering it, the camera was not associated with my user account and it needs to be in order for the "setup web access" through CameraWindow to work. In fact, there's an "additional features" selection called something like "use Canon iMAGE Gateway" that needs to be checked on while registering so that you have established the camera and the ability to use it via the web with your user profile.
Once I'd done all that, it worked just fine. I responded about all this in my customer service feedback survey that they emailed me last night. So hopefully, they'll provide a packaging blow-in or a link on their site. But since I found this forum post by searching CameraWindow Failed To Connect To Server, I'm hoping that if nothing else, others will find this before needing to call themselves.
Hope it helped!

Nokia N78 fails to connect to PC via CA-101 USB ca...

Hi everybody.....
Please let me tell the story from the begining..Recently I purchased a China made N78 phone
with firmware ver. 12.046 / custom ver. 12.046.051.1 .When I tried to connect it to
PC via CA-101 USB cable & Nokia PC Suite ver. 6.9 (both are contained in the retail box)
it failed to connect.Although the phone does recognise the connection as a connection
icon appears on the left upper corner of the phone screen and the phone asks me to set
the connection profile e.g. PC Suite to use , while the PC tells me that a problem occured
during installation of a new hardware (the phone) and it cannot be used properly hence no
connection occures. First I factory resetted the phone , then did hardware format by
keys: (* + 3 + m.media key + power on ),then updated the Nokia PC Suite programme to
ver. 7.1 and I updated cable drivers from Nokia website and reinstalled them ,then I
updated the phone fimware using phone device manager to ver. 21.002 / custom ver. 21.002.051.1
and lastly reinstalled the Win.XP on my PC BUT THE PROBLEM IS SAME AND NO CONNCTION in every single step done respectively.On the other side the Bluetooth connection with the PC and Nokia PC Suite
works very fine. I think I checked and fixed every possible issue I could ,and the phone package is brand new and made under the authority of Nokia corp. hence its genuine one and purchased from a registered Nokia distributor in Middle East.So why this problem happens ?! I DONT KNOW , SO PLEASE HELP..HELP...

Did You install PC suite to your computer before connecting? Which mode are you using to connec PC Suite or data transfer? Data transfer shouldn't require drivers but you can get the cable driver just in case. It should be on the disk that came in the box with your phone. If you have installed PC suite make sure it's running when you plug the phone in
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Remote app on ipod fails to connect to itunes 10

After upgrading to iTunes 10, my remote app on the ipod touch 4G fails to connect. I've reauthorized, which times out most times, but eventually when it works, it only continues to connect to iTunes until I close and restart the program. I've disabled all firewalls and still have the issue. iTunes 10/iPod Touch 4G/iOS 4.1/ancient remote.app do not play well together.
Anyone else unable to get the remote app working reliably with this combination?

Hello all,
I would like to get more details from people who are still having trouble getting Remote 2.0.1 to connect. If you are unable to connect, please email me <[email protected]> with the following information:
- A detailed description of the specific issue you are seeing.
- What OS is on the host computer? (the one with iTunes on it)
- What OS is on the affected iOS device(s)?
- A description of your network topology. Please be as detailed as you can, including hardware and firmware versions, if possible. Also please explain how everything is connected.
- Is the base station running default settings, or do you have any non-standard settings enabled? If so, please elaborate.
- Do you have the built-in firewall enabled on the host computer?
- Do you have any other firewall or Internet protection (anti-virus, etc) installed on the host computer?
- Were you able to connect with versions of Remote prior to 2.0?
- If you have multiple computers, can you get Remote to connect to any of them?
- Does Home Sharing work between computers on your network?
- Do you see any messages in Console (in Applications/Utilities) on the host computer that seem to coincide with the connection failures?
Thanks,
Roy

My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
(note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
Anyone had this problem?
Even better has anyone got a solution?
Thanks,
Nick.

Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

On Windows 2012 Terminal Server Outlook fails to connect to Exchange 2013

I have a new install of Windows 2012.  I have two physical servers. One is a W2012 std Domain Controller ("DC"). The Second is configured as W2012 HyperV  ("HV"). Under HV I have
two VMs. One VM is W2012/Exchange 2013 ("ExchVM) and the other is W2012/Terminal Server ("VMTS"). All systems are behind a firewall appliance. Exchange is working via Outlook and OWA internally and externally. The self
created SSL must be installed manually on external machines since it comes up as an untrusted certificate. Once installed remote outlook works and OWA works. I have configured the terminal server and I am able
to login remotely as various users under my "TS group". The problem is when ever I attempt to open Outlook for the 1st time, it fails to connect to the exchange server.   (Open Outlook 2013, click next
on the splash screen, "Yes" Add an Email Account splash screen, click next, Auto Account screen populates NAME and Email Address correctly, click next, Searching for mail server settings..., check on establishing network connection, check on searching
for alias@ domain, then fails the logging on to the mail server) The error reads: "Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The
connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."   I am connected in RDS from offsite, and from the RD session I can access shared folders on ExchVM and DC. I have
tried have verified the server Exchange server name is correct via "Get=ClientAccessServer" command. I have also tried to use the guid via "Get-Mailbox
ALIAS | fl name, exchangeguid. Keep in mind all desktop users on the network are connecting to Outlook without issue.
I would appreciate any thoughts on solving this issue.

Hi,
According to your workaround, it seems that the Outlook Anywhere configuration in Outlook client is not correct when using the Autodiscover service.
Once you connected to Exchange server by manually settings, please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration tool in external Outlook client to check the autodiscover service:
open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar - Test Email AutoConfiguration. Put your email address - uncheck use guessmart and secure guessmart authentication - click Test to check your Autodiscover service.
Please check the Log tab and confirm whether the Autodiscover service is connected successfully. Also confirm if the connection issue happens to all external users when they open Outlook for the 1st time. In Exchange server, please make sure
autodiscover.domain.com has been included in your Exchange certificate which is assigned with IIS service.

Fingerprint reader not working in IE and saying failed to connect to sensor

Hi all,
I bought a Qosmio x500 10t a couple of months back. For the first couple of weeks i had no probs using the fingerprint reader to log in to windows and to log in to websites in Internet exploer.
All of a sudden it would not work on any website stored. The green banner showed accross the top of site and asked to swipe finger but nothing happened when I swiped. I rebooted and it worked again but not for long before failing. This time a reboot didnt work so i deleted my finger prints and websites and started from scratch. That worked for a couple of attempts before probs started again. And on trying to get into Fingerprint utility it says failure to connect to sensor. So, I did a system restore. It worked for a couple of times again and then same probs. So I found the updated utility software, uninstalled the old and put on the new. Same again, worked for a couple of times then failed.
I could not find anything stuck in the registry but to be on the safe side i did a full system clean back to factory setup using backup discs. Hey presto i thought it had worked. Everything going ok for first 24hrs and then same problems start to occur. Only this time it is also prompting me to enroll fingerprints even though i already have. And when i try to get into the utilioty it says failed to read sensor again.
The fingerprint log on to windows always works as long as i dont close the fingerprint utility down before shutting down. If i do exit the utilty i cant reopen it as it just says failed to connect to sensor. And then i have to unistall and reinstall the utility software. Aty the moment it occasionally works on websites stored but most of the time it doesnt do anything.
Please help. Do I need to send laptop back to Toshiba??

Hi,
*I got a solution* for the problem that the fingerprint sensor "suddenly" does not work any more.
When starting the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility, it says "failed to connect to fingerprint sensor".
Is it possible that just before it stopped working there was a new firewall installed, or firewall settings had been changed?
*In my case, the problem was solved by changing my firewall settings* (Windows 7 Firewall Control) to ALLOW all traffic for
the Authentec Fingerprint Sensor Service (AFSS). It is the file "AtService.exe" in C:\Program files
The reason is simple:
The Toshiba Fingerprint utility communicates with the fingerprint sensor service via TCP/IP.
Therefore, any firewall that blocks traffic on the local computer will block the communication.
*After changing my firewall settings, fingerprint sensor works* on my R700 flawlessly now.
