"Camera not attached" question #5,256,525,951 and counting....

Hi!
I have an imac 800 g4.. OS 10.2.8
Samsung SD353 (Mini DV)
Okay.. My imovie (3.3) and my system profiler are not recognizing my camera. The weird this is that it did one day then literaly the next day it didnt. This is a new camera.. the first day it worked.
My FW ports are fine (isight works when connected and the system profiler recognizes it)
My camera recognizes that there is a FW cable attached, so that port is okay..
I have a 4pin to 6 pin NEW firewire cable...
I have read 3 hours worth of post on Apple.com
I have shutdown..reconnected, unplugged, checked my midi audio rate, even said a lil' prayer..
Please DO NOT SEND ME to: iMovie: Cannot see or control camera. I have tried this and many other fixes.
Nothing has worked.
the thing that bothers me that It worked that one day.. and now..NADA!!
please help me! Ive run out of things
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi slvrpwr
No 1 Please. Try Your camera on another Mac.
It is regrettably to easy to harm the A/D chip in the camera by turning
the FW 6-pin end plug the wrong way around (It should not go BUT it
does). Result. Import/Export doesnt work but You can manuver it from iMovie. (Expencive repair if not a guraranti repair)
No 2 If You use FinalCutExpress or pro the import/export in iMovie
also stops working due to a file collision.

Camera Not Attached

So I've checked out the tips and tricks in as many places as I could find, but I am not very tech savvy so it could be something very simple I am not doing...
I am using a dv camera to digitize an analog signal to pass thru to iMovie but iMovie won't recognise that I have a camera there. The vcr is connected correctly, the cam (canon MV800) is on the right settings and all firewire cable to Mac is connected but nothing! No import. The video digitizes and makes it to my camera fine.
I have set the time correctly
I have my cam set to VCR mode
I have the cam settings switched to av-dv
I have a new firewire cable
All plugs are in right holes
I have switch off and switched on, I have powered down... or up, or which ever way it is.
What am I doing wrong? Please help I have been trying for over a week...

Hi Nanda
Sue is right. Cheque this.
After that my ideas was to role out that the Camera is OK. There is a faulth
that is tricky to find out else than testing the FW-port on the Camera to another
computer. There is an analog/digital chip that can be destroyed and then
You get in the situation You described. Control Camera tape movement but
no picture or sound.
This is a rare condition so if You can find out that the Camera is OK then
it's time to through Your Mac.
the av / dv setting is the one I would toggle on and off to see if it makes
any difference <
My list of what to do if Camera is OK:
Mac:
- hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
◊ Reset PRAM
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
- software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ 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
◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward rep. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ 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).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.
More:
◊ follow advises here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43000
◊ follow Grandmaster Dan's advice for Sony cameras here: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5020.shtml
IT'S LONG and that's why I suggested to role out Camera at first.
Yours Bengt W

Lotus Notes attachment question

I having problems with attachments using Lotus Notes which I'm obliged to use at work. Initially it happened infrequently now it is happening regularly. Lotus Notes appears to be doing some sort of compression or modification of MS Word, EXCEL and jpg attachments so that recipients receive an attachment that their PCs can't recognize. I just upgraded to Notes 7 with no improvement. I have tried all combinations of Compress, PC Friendly and MIME options on Notes, with no improvement. Mac to Mac seems to be ok, but all my customers use PCs.
Thanks in advance
PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Just my 2-cents worth … Lotus Notes technical support (especially for MAC) isn’t worth ___!
Fact is, Lotus Notes for MAC isn’t worth ___!
Unfortunately, some of us in this PC-dominated world are forced to use it at our companies!
Many times, when I have attachments to send, I use my Google account! It always works, but unfortunately, there is a size limitation. Fortunately, 90% of what I send is not too large for Google!

ISight Camera not attached

I am new to MAC . I just purchased an IMAC 10.5 Oct 2, 2007. I can not get the iMovie to work.IDVD, IWeb, & iPhoto all say '08 but the iMovie doesn't. The only option that comes up under the camera is Time Lapse and I don't know how to fix it. I have read the help and tried software updates but nothing seems to work. What do I need to do to fix it?

One more thought, girlfmar.
Because you are new to Mac, you may not realize that Help on Macs can give you a LOT of help.
When you launch iMovie, use the iMovie > Help > iMovie Help command on your Mac for help getting started. You will also save a lot of time in the long run by using the iMovie Tutorial that is offered.
If you have reviewed both of the above and still need more help with iMovie, your next stop should be Apple's Mac 101: iMovie lesson.
You will find lots of other help for other Mac topics at Mac 101, including Switch 101 help if you are switching from a PC.
Enjoy your new Mac.

Mic and cam not working

hi, my unit is hp pavillon Dm4-2070us window 7 OS. i already did system restore, tried also record audio and turn on the cam but the problem still exist, it says cam not detected

I also have an hp pavillon and I am having the same problem with mine. The mic and cam just stopped working. I have tried everything I know but nothing has worked.

Built In Video Camera not working

I used my Video Camera to Skype about 2 days ago. And now I cannot Skype, or use my You Cam. It says things like "Camera not detected." I've updated Skype, and You Cam, and everything else. The white light turns on when I try to use my video camera as well.

@sotrpls2 ,
Thank you for posting back with your notebook information.
here is a link to a video for getting access to the webcam. You are going to have to check the connection cable to make sure it has not come off if it is still connected then you will have to replace the webcam.

My MacBook Pro says camera not detected when I adjust my screen!

i have had my macbook pro for about a year now and sometimes when i am using facetime and adjust my screen my picture will freeze and when i restart the program it will say camera not detected. why does this keep happening and should i take it to a store to get checked out, is this fixable? help!

Sounds like a cable has slipped out of a connector, seeing as they go from "under the keyboard" and up by the display. You should get it checked out. I had a similar problem, but then it was my display that went to sleep when in 45°. I fixed it by just closing and opening the screen all the way a few times. Tried that?

Feedback, NOT a question

Not a question, this is general feedback (and no email available to direct it to):
PLEASE do not force download McAfee Security Blahblahblah when I am merely updating to the latest version of Flash. I don't agree to it, you don't install it.
'Kay? Thanks.

Don't use the GUI updater. Download the Adobe Flash Player "offline" installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Nothing in those but the Flash Player. Bookmark them. They stay the same even when the version updates.

LG Ally "Camera Not Connected" msg

I just tried to use my camera function and now I am getting the messsage "camera not connected" Has anyone come across this and any solution.
Also the battery is not holding a charged. Last night I fully charged my camera and unplugged at 11pm and at 6am the battery was drained down to a 13%. Is their solution to fix this?

Camera not connected?? I haven't seen that error message before. If pulling the Battery doesn't help resolve the problem then I would contact Verizon or LG Support to see about getting the phone replaced...
This topic has been covered in a few other threads, so I would search those as well for help... But for those who are new to Android, this might help.
The Battery not holding a charge? There are several reasons this could be happening.
* If the Ally is new, then I recommend that the first few times, you completely charge the ally, like overnight, and then fully discharge it before recharging and then repeat the cycle. I noticed that on my Ally the Battery life actually got better than it was out of the box, to some extent.
* App/Process management.... This can be a huge factor since the Ally is a multitasking platform and you can have unneeded processes running in the background chewing up battery life and processor cycles. Check that the services like WiFi and GPS are only on when needed. Check that apps like WeatherBug are configured properly so they don't continually update when not needed
* Bad Signal area?? If your phone is struggling to get or maintain a Cell signal or Data signal that it will severely impact your battery life... Check to see how Many Signal Bars you are getting and note if your phone seems to flip flop back and forth between '1x' and '3G' service... this will help determine whether you are in a good location or not
* Finally, it could be a Bad Battery/Phone... Smart Phone battery life is not as good as a "Feature Phone" or Basic Phone but it still should be better than what you are seeing... I would eliminate all of the other potential suspects before looking to replace the battery.
Sorry for going over some basic stuff, but maybe it will help others as well.

External Camera Not working

ok, my problem is that my macbook is not picking up other webcams. the specific one is the xbox live vision camera, but i have tried others and they do not work. i have all the updates, and even have quicktime pro, but nothing will recognize it. any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, bored911
I am not clear on your problem.
(1) Please tell us what software you are using when you experience this problem.
(2) Also tell me specifically whether the webcam your "macbook is not picking up" is one you are trying to attach to your Mac or is one that someone else has attached to a different computer.
(3) If you mean that you are trying to connect an xbox live vision camera to your MacBook and you are trying to use it with QT Pro or iChat AV, it should work.
If that is your goal, create a new user account and check to determine whether the problem is "user-specific".
If that test does not help you, try the following:- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel).
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your webcam again.Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
The Xbox LIVE Vision will not work with iMovie. However, your MacBook's internal iSight should be able to work with iMovie.
Please let us know if this is helpful or post back the answers to the questions above for further help.
Cheers,
Jim

Error message: iTunes can't save to hard disk because disk not attached. (but it is) Does this indicate a real problem?

iTunes regularly post an error message saying it can't save to the internal hard disk because the disk is not attached, even though the disk seems to be functioning normally. Do these error messages indicate that there is a real problem with either iTunes or the disk?
<Subject Edited by Host>

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Ipad camera not functional is only the start of my problems

Greetings,
I have an ipad mini which I bought in September 2014. A few months ago the back camera stopped working, when I click on the camera app it might work for a second or 2 then freeze, or half the screen turns purple and locks up. Maybe after about 20 seconds it unfreezes momentarily then locks up again. Front camera works fine.
Compounding this is abysmal Apple support- I tried to contact Apple support 3 times and they suggested I 'bring in it'... However, the Hong Kong repair centres were booked solid. I tried to re-book a week later and it was booked solid again!
Either way, this is not convenient for me ( I work full time and have a newborn baby) to keep trying to contact Apple or run around to their service centres ( at least a 2 hour round trip for me) even if they could schedule me in.
Furthermore, yesterday in the middle of a presentation my VGA-Lightning adapter stopped working.
Firstly, why am I experiencing so many hardware failures? Is this normal? ( the fully booked service centres in Hong Kong suggest YES)
Is there a more convenient way to get these 2 items fixed? Courier, no questions asked replacements? ( Apple resellers dont want anything to do with broken stuff)
Finally, how long is this stuff going to take to fix? What extra problems can I expect?

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
If all of the above fails to help, don't forget that you have a one-year warranty.
