Camera not connecting to Aperature

Hi there-
I have an issue that is drivng me mad. For the first time, I'm trying to set-up my Canon 5D Mark II to tether to my PowerBook Pro (10.7.4). Aperture cannot connect to the camera. When I tried the Canon utilities, it also doesn't connect. BUT when I take the camera over to my desktop computer, it DOES connect via Aperture.
I've uninstalled and then reinstalled both Canon and Aperture. Perhaps there is a leftover preference that I'm not deleting???
Any help!? I'd like to tinker around tonight before my photoshoot tomorrow.
Many thanks...
Kym

Oh, and I'm using Aperture 3.3.

Camera not connected in macbook air ios 10.6.8

Camera not connected appeared in my macbook air when I tried to access camera booth yesterday. This happened in late 2011. I took the macbook to an apple service centre and was told that it was a hardware problem. I delayed sending it for repair and in the meantime in february 2012 there was a camera update which I installed and that solved the problem. Lately I had installed several updates and now I am faced with the similar problem of "camera not connected" when I tried to access photobooth and all the other applications that require a camera. I need help as my extended waranty is about to expire in a few days time. I have not much confidence in the macs as I find that the camera goes missing after updates? Please help! Thank you

You need to take it into an Apple store to be fixed. You should of done that back when it first happened. I suggest you do it before your Applecare warranty runs out.

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.

FaceTime & Photobooth states Camera not connected on Lion

I just upgraded to Lion on my macbook air. FaceTime and Photobooth both stated that my camera is not connected. How to fix this problem?

I had that exact same problem... along with many others. None of my applications were opening properly including mail.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
This fixed everything for me. Facetime worked right away, photobooth hung once, but when i force closed and restarted it is working beautifully again. (Scroll down to the blue links and select the one applicable for you, in this case it would be "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own")
Let me know if it works!

Camera Not Connecting

I have created a 15 minute movie in iMovie as well as in iDVD. Now, in iMovie, I wish to transfer it back to my Canon DV Movie Camera so I go to Share and select Video Camera and get the following message:
Your FireWire camera is not powered on or is not available. This also can happen if you added or removed a device from FireWire. Please try again.
But, my camera is connected, the FW cable is connected....the camera can play other tapes, it is set on PLAY (VCR)...so what am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your asistance.

Isight camera "not connected" but IS in USB configuration

My iSight [BUILT-IN] camera keeps being reported as "There is no camera connected" in 'Photo Booth', though it Does show up in the USB configuration of System Profiler, and most times still functions OK using Google Video Chat. (for the first 'known' time, it did not work for Google this past week)
So far, resetting the SMC has corrected the problem, but only for a few hours.
Is there a COMMAND I can give the MacBook to do what the SMC "fixes"?
Why is it being controlled by "System Preferences - Other - Flash Player"   instead of "Hardware"?? It seems that I Can Not just set it to "Block" because this also asks if I want Google Mail to be "allowed", which is my video chat method.
There are NO other users (a TEST account is set up for when I sent it to Apple last year, but that is Not Used); I simply would like to sometimes run Photo Booth to image the room or do a new profile pic, but this Constant Problem stops that.

MacBook Air - Camera not connected after update 10.8.5

After the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5, which I updated on my MacBook Air, and I didn't read the part about the camera saying it might not work for MacBook Air. So., carelessly, I updated and then when I wanted to Facetime it did not work. Then I realised my camera wasn't working for all of my apps. Are the Apple Company going to fix this? Or do we have to do something ourselves? I need my camera back.

(1) Do this: (If necessary, print this and bookmark the links before starting the process.)
• If you do not already have one, make a backup of your important files now.
• Use the  > Restart... menu command to restart your Mac.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
• Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
• Repair permissions AGAIN immediately following the restart that completes the Combo Update.
• Test your camera to be sure it is working.
(2) If the problem continues, do this:
• Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
• Use "Mac OS X Utilities" there to repair your startup DISK (NOT permissions.)
• Restart your Mac normally.
• Test your camera to be sure it is working.
(3) If the problem still exists, do this:
• Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
• Reinstall OS X. (You will need to be connected to broadband Internet.)
• As soon as the Mac restarts after the reinstall,
use your Mac's Disk Utility (NOT OS X Recovery this time) to repair permissions.
• Test your camera to be sure it is working.
(4) If the camera still doesn't work, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Facetime HD camera "not connected"

Today I opened the FaceTime app and was greeted with the message "There is no connected camera". I found this extremely unlikely, as (lol) I am using a MacBook Pro, and just yesterday the camera worked. If I go to the system profiler, the FaceTime HD camera is listed under USB devices.
Any suggestions?

Isight saying not connected on 2 week old Imac

HELP !!

Try troubleshooting the Built-in iSight > How to Troubleshoot iSight
Then if your iSight is still misbehaving:
1. run the Apple Hardware Test > Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
2. seek support at > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

My camera doesn't work, it says its not connected.

Hi, i got a macbook air, and its been a while since my camera doesnt work,
its says its not connected.

What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
Thanks,
Sean

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.
