Camera not visible in Finder

Just installed 10.5.1 and iPhoto update.
When I connect my camera to my iMac, iPhoto opens....but the camera is not visible in the Finder !
Any suggestions ? Or is this a new bug?
Best regards,
Roeland

You are asking about iPhoto on your Mac, right? And not about iPhoto on your IOS device? This is the iPhoto on IOS forum. I have asked the community hosts to relocate your post to the iLife iPhoto forum - you will get more help there.
What is your iPhoto version? Assuming you are having iPhoto '11, you'd should see the photos in the iPhoto Library package using the Finder, if they are there; but dont move them, only browse them, if you can  find them.
Reveal your iPhoto Library and in the Finder; it is probably in your "Pictures" folder, ctrl-click it, select "Reveal Package Contents". In the Finder window that will pop up, select the "Masters" folder. This scores the original images, organized by the date of the "Import Session" o f the event.
If your images are still there, I'd copy - not move! - them to a folder on your Desktop and then try to rebuild the iPhoto library. Make a backup of the iPhoto library, then hold down the key combionation option-command and select "rebuild database" from the dialog that pops up.

  • Yosemite: Thumbnails not visible in Finder

    I ran into a strange problem immediately after updating to Yosemite.
    I have a 2014 mbp dual-video, 16 gb ram.
    In any folder on my drive icons are not visible. They are there, I can drag and copy-paste folders and files, but the finder only shows a blank white window. Everything looks normal in List, Columns or Cover Flow modes.
    I did a safe mode boot and restarted normally and everything went back to normal, including visible icons. But now I have the problem with an external ExFat drive. Anyone know how to solve this or what's going on?

    Here's my problem, that continues with newly created folders. You can see that this folder has 5 items in it, with one selected. But they are not visible when Finder is set to icon mode.
    Also, when I drag a corner of the Finder window to make it bigger, i get some "dragging" visual artifacts that are not visible in the screenshots but appear on my screen.

  • Applications not visible in finder

    I loaded Mountian Lion on to my Macbook Pro and now my applications subfolder is not visible in Finder?  I can't seem to find it anywhere?  Any ideas where it went to?
    Thanks!

    Your Applications folder should be in Macintosh HD/Applications.
    Not sure what you mean by a sub-folder?
    Can you launch your apps from the Dock?

  • Internal Hard Drive is not visible in Finder or Desktop or anywhere

    The problem first and then the details.
    I cannot see my systems hard drive, No icon shows up on the desktop, and it is not visible in the Finder.
    It does however show up in Disk Utility.
    I have repaired permissions and repaired the disk, both from within the OS and also from the install disc during a reboot.
    Not here are some details. This is both a fresh install of the OS AND a brand new drive. I just had it installed today and then reinstalled the OS.
    While going thru the process of reinstalling all my software, something froze for no good reason, and I eventually had to force quit the finder and when the system wouldn't shut down, I had to physically power it off.
    Upon rebooting, my systems HD is no longer visible.
    I suppose I can try and reinstall again, but I feel like there has to be a smarter way to deal with this.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you confirmed that in Finder > Finder menu > Preferences > General and Sidebar tabs that the boxes to show hard disks are checked?
    Assuming they are checked, you may a victim of the 'invisible drive' problem. See Francine's helpful tutorial for the fix:

  • External hard drive not visible in Finder or Disk Utility

    Hi everyone,
    My Wester Digital 2TB external hard drive has disappeared, so to speak, with all my photos. I work as a freelance photographer. Mostly on Lightroom 5.6
    When I plug it in, with firewire, I can feel the disk rotating normally however it does not appear in finder or disk utility.
    I've tried using a USB cable, restarting my mac, forced restart, changing firewire ports (HD has 2 ports), plugging the HD into a different laptop and nothing.
    Ive also searched Finder prefrences and visibility is enabled.
    I have no idea what could have caused this as I was using the HD the night before. I didnt pullout without properly ejecting. Maybe the HD is full or almost, but I dont think that would the cause of these troubles.
    I'm using a late 2011 Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.4
    Any suggestions??
    Thanx

    An update for anyone who can help me:
    I have tried the external hard drive in other computers (mac and windows), each time I get the same problem above.
    I have removed the HD from the enclosure and purchased a docking station for it (3.5" SATA). When I plug it in to the laptop it disconnects itself straight away before it is visible. With the windows computers it installs the drivers and says that the device is ready to use, then disconnects before it shows up.
    As the HD is not visible there is no option to re-format or anything.
    This is very frustrating as I was using the HD with no issues and it randomly disconnected and I have not been able to access since.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • External hard drive not visible in Finder, but is operating

    iMac, 2 Gb RAM, Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
    It has 4 external USB drives attached through a powered hub. All of a sudden, after about a year, one of them no longer shows up in ‘Finder’. However, all four drives have an icon on the desktop. The drive is visible and verifiable in ‘Disk Utility’. Double clicking the desktop icon opens the drive and I can copy a file from it. iTunes can see it. From a Macbook’s ‘Finder’, over WiFi, I can see and copy files to and from the drive. Finder Preferences shows nothing amiss. I’ve shut down and restarted the iMac several times with no change. The drive just does not show up in Finder on the host iMac.
    Searching this forum has not helped. Any suggestions?

    Well, this is embarrassing. A suggestion from an older thread on Macrumors.com called "Hard Drive does not appear in Finder / Desktop", solved this problem. Simply drag the missing drive icon from the desktop to Finder! Perseverance and different search wording AND reading a lot of stuff pays off.
    If other's problem is not solved with this fix, you might benefit from this 10.5-based thread. They also mention an Apple 10.5 fix. Both URL's below.
    The op's problem was that the drive did not appear in Finder OR the desktop but was operational. There was a lot of in-depth information with this fix embedded.
    Thanks for the interest and suggestions.

  • My new folders are not visible in Finder

    New folders (generated by a application, SABNZB+, that runs in the background as a web service) will only show up in Finder once I have run a search in Finder and are not visible before. I have tried a disk repair and a permissions rebuild.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Yes they do, no problems there.
    I am starting to believe it might have to do with the fact that the folders are created by an unarchiver that reassembles files after they are downloaded from my newsgroup. The strange thing is that there never used to be a problem, it started somewhere around the second update to mountain lion. But it could also be a new version of the application SABNzb+, I am not sure.
    What is also weird is this: I can find the folder when doing a search in Finder, then open the folder, all files are there and the folder is then visible normally.
    Edit: The files are reassembled by the unarchiver on the main Macintosh HD, then moved to a different volume and deleted from the originating volume. 

  • USB/directshow camera not visible in max/imaqdx

    I've got a Chameleon USB2.0 camera from Point Grey and I'm having problems getting it to show up in MAX.
    I'm running a fresh installation of labview 2012, MAX 5.3.3f2, IMAQdx 4.0, IMAQ 4.7 on a windows 7 x64 lenovo T420 laptop.
    I'm aware of the problems with registering the DirectShow filters for the Point Grey cameras:  http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7DF278AF77461951862579AD0063B9AD
    I've tried all of the various driver versions from Point Grey, and currently have installed the v2.4 x86 version
    The camera is visible using AMcap, a lightweight DirectShow viewer, so it seems that the camera is operational and the DirectShow interface is functional.
    I had an older version of Labview installed, and the camera was visible in MAX.  I wanted to upgrade versions but didn't use the NI update service and just downloaded the various files from the website.  About the time I upgraded MAX to 5.3 the camera disappeared from MAX.  I assumed some problem with the upgrade, so I completely uninstalled both Labview and the camera drivers and tried a fresh installation, but I still can't see the camera in MAX.
    Any ideas about how to get my camera to show up in MAX?
    Thanks!

    Did you find anything?  I have two Mightex USB cameras hooked up and believe that I might be having the same problem.  
    I can actually get both devices to show up in AMCAP, but the 2nd camera that I have hooked up to the computer doesn't show up in NI-MAX.
    I have spoken with the camera manufacturer and they have verified that these DirectShow drivers have worked on old versions of LabVIEW.  Please get back to me if you know anything regarding this error.

  • "Home" folder not visible in Finder

    My "Home" folder is not anymore visible in Finder under "Users". This affects some programs that cannot find my files unless I copy them to the "Shared" folder.
    If I list folders in the Terminal application, I can see my Home folder under /Users.
    Any hint?

    Paste this command into Terminal and press 'return' on your keyboard.

  • My profile files are not visible in Finder (OSX 10.10 & previous). Can I fix this?

    Mozilla help site instructions often start with locating the Thunderbird profile files. I can see these from within Tbird and with a Terminal command, but not with Finder. Why not? I believe I have message index corruption, but I cannot delete the index file as directed.

    When you select Help/Troubleshooting Information and click 'Show Folder', does the profile folder not open in Finder?

    Instead of deleting the index msf files, you can rebuild them by right-clicking a folder in TB, Properties, Repair Folder.

  • Files on time capsule not visible in Finder window

    I copied files to my time capsule.  The time machine app works fine but only if it is running can I see the files I copied to time capsule.  I would like to use this disk for media storage for iTunes but if it is not visible a lot of the time then it isn't useful for that purpose

    The Time Capsule is for your backups.
    Three things....all bad...happen when you try to move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule disk.
    1) Access to media becomes much slower....typically 15-20 seconds before you will hear the song that you selected.
    2) The iTunes Media Folder tends to get lost, so you will have to manually reset the path to the folder frequently.
    3) When.....not if....the Time Capsule disk has a problem, you will lose all of your iTunes data.....because you have no backup of the ITunes Media Folder.
    I've learned each of these things the hard way. If you still want to do this.....here are the instructions:

  • PC thinks my iPhone 3GS is a Digital Camera, not visible in Itunes

    Hope someone can help
    I bought the 3GS iPhone 32gb today and went to register on my PC and when connected to the uSB ports it was detected as a camera and only gives me the option of Photo Shop etc
    It is also visible in 'My Computer' as a camera
    I tried various USB ports as I believed only half where USB 2.0 the same happened after each restart, so I bought a new PCI USB 2.0 card and tried it through that with the same issue.
    The Iphone works normally on another PC but obviously I want it to sync to my PC and Music
    Latest version of Itunes installed
    Restarted comp several times
    Closed various security software on my PC temporarily
    Any help much appreciated

    This is normal; it IS a digital camera, and this is how you get photos off it.

    Open Task Manager (CTRLSHIFTESC), click on the Processes tab and the Image Name column to sort on name. Then look for AppleMobileDeviceService.exe (AMDS). If it is present then your problem is most likely a USB driver problem; try updating the USB drivers. If it is NOT present go to Control Panels, Administrative Tasks and launch Services. Find the entry for AMDS, right click on it and choose Start.

  • Date stamp from mDV camera not visible on viewer  , nor recorded.

    Though the data code is pressed till the date and time stamp is visible on the camera Display,
    it is not received by final cut pro.
    For some projects they want some time and date stamped , sequences.
    Can anything be done ?

    Date stamp data is not something read by FCP ... try iMovie,
    Alternatively, check the camera's output options, it may be possible to output the data burnt-in on the s-video or some such ... if you have the requisite i/o hardware you could then digitize from that signal path
