Can't see camera on desktop since installing LR3

I need to import some photos quickly, and I couldn't figure out the date file system in LR (I had created separate subject-named DNG and RAW folders to import into, but it kept trying to create date folders within those), so I wanted to just go back to my old way of importing until I can buy a LR3 book. (By the way, what do computer companies have against providing printed manuals these days??? It drives me crazy. The help search field offered me no results when I typed in the term "Convert to DNG" and then just "DNG" to find out exactly what that option did.)
But now my camera doesn't show up on my desktop or in the Finder window for me to do a manual upload. Does LR3 prevent you from accessing your camera without its help?
Thanks.

I figured this out myself. Turns out to have been an Aperture issue. I had recently uninstalled a trial version of Aperture, and since it had made itself the default opening app for cameras, there was no longer an app designated, which resulted in the camera not showing up at all.

  • Can't see folders on desktop

    I restored a backup and computer tells me I can't see files on desktop even after I verify disk permissions
    How do I fix this?

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • MSI GeForce 9800 gt after updating the driver can't see the whole desktop

         I have a MSI GeForce 9800gt, and I've tried to update the driver. After update I can no longer see the whole desktop, I have to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to see the rest, it's like there is a zoom or something.
         The driver that came with the CD works fine, but any other driver give's me the same problem. I've tried with v.191.07, v.178, v.258.96, v.306.81 and a few other. I've also reinstall the windows but with no better results (I'm using Windows XP Pro).
         Please help. Thank you.

    Thanks for the quick replay, so :

    Did you try to set the correct resolution for your screen after updating?
    Yes, I've tried different resolutions, the only resolution where I see the whole desktop is 800x600. I even try to change the refresh rate to something lower then 60Hertz(I've read on a forum that a refresh rate of 51 or 59 might solve the problem) but no luck.

  • Messages can't see camera on osx mountain lion

    ... other applications do (skype does, facetime and messages don't see camera.
    Safari can use the camera (chats through safari with google accounts can use the camera, messages on the same acounts do not see the camera).

    The camera did appear in systeminfo as a usb device. However I manged to get messages and Facetime to see the camera after deleting the the Library/preferences/com.apple.imagt and restarting.
    If the camera is not found at a restart this file gets corrupted and has to be deleted. Messages and Facetime are affected but Skype finds the camera once it is seen by the system.

  • I can't get into certain apps since installing iOS 8?

    I'm not able to get into some of my apps since installing iOS 8. As soon as I try, I get kicked out again immediately?

    Most likely apps need to update to support new OS.  I had this problem too on several apps.  I checked a few of the apps' websites and those listed issues with ios 8 and indicated updates to the apps were forthcoming.  One such app, Cortex Cam, updated today and now it opens and works.
    I would advise checking the websites of the apps in question and notifying them that they need to get their act in gear and provide updates to their apps.

  • Started using iphoto and now windows can't see camera

    I borrowed my friend's digital camera and now he can't use his camera on his Dell. We had gone back and forth before with the same camera, the problem started when I set my Powerbook to launch iPhoto whenever I plugged the camera in. I don't actually remember doing that, but I hadn't been using iPhoto before.
    I also used to be able to see the camera as a mounted volume, but I can't anymore. The only way we can access the camera contents is to import them into my iPhoto.
    He is (shockingly!) annoyed with me because he can't use his camera anymore except on my computer. How do I undo this? I can't even see a way to stop iPhoto from launching automatically when I plug the camera in, and I can't get the camera to mount as a volume on my Powerbook.

    Welcome to Discussions.
    To get Iphoto to quit opening when you attach the camera:
    IMAGE CAPTURE
    Go to the Applications folder and open Image Capture.
    The preferences in Image Capture determine what happens when a camera or card reader is attached.
    Check the camera menu for how it is setup for a USB connection. This may be the problem.

  • Router Can't see My Website Anymore since changing its DNS

    Neither my old Panther G5 nor my new Macbook running Leopard can see my website anymore since I changed its DNS settings (after server failure we had to move).
    I use a Belkin 4-port router FSD5231-4, which sees all other websites on the web now, but not mine. Everyone else in the world, except me, can see http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org.
    when mac is plugged straight into the cable modem it sees the website fine. Only when the router is in the mix, does the site go awol.
    Belkin said I had to download an .exe file in order to reset the MTU settings. After I insisted there must be a way without using .exe, he said to go into Mac settings to reset MTU to 1400 (the ideal range is 1400-1500). When Apple support showed me how to get in to change the setting of MTU, we found it was already set to 1500, and didn't change the outcome.
    Good News Network is still awol.
    I looked on Belkin for firmware updates but my model number (above) returns "No documents found". I think updating would be a great idea.
    Also, I tried resetting w the little hole in the back, but nothing changed (the paper clip wasn't able to push in the back of the hole at all, it seemed).

    You shouldn't need to change the MTU on your router, nor should you need to factory reset it; a simple power cycle of it should be all you need if it's got your old DNS information cached.
    I suspect your Mac may have the address cached as well.
    Try shutting down your Mac, power cycling the router, then booting the Mac and see if that works.

  • I can't see the writing properly since all the changes.    Can i make it darker as its just light grey

    I can't see the writing properly on my iMac iPad mini or iPhone.  I feel like throwing them all out.. or selling them as no point in using them if I can't see the writing is just a light grey.  please can i change this to a darker script

    Hi there Chrisey01,
    You may find the Increase Contrast, Bold and Large Text, and Reduce Transparency options in iOS helpful for making the text more legible. Take a look at the User Guide page below for more options. Note: Reduce Transparency is found with the Increase Contrast setting.
    Large, bold, and high-contrast text

  • Can't click to select anything on the desktop since installing mavericks on my macbookpro retina.

    After installing maverick on my MacBook Pro I can control the curser from the track pad but can't select anything at all. I have tried plugging a mouse in and the same thing happens. I have no control over anything on the desktop at all. Any ideas of how to get out of this situation please?

    Hi Lee,
    Try this,navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Let us know.

  • The Firefox screen lies slightly to the right od the desktop since installing v5, how can I centre it so as not to lose the right hand part of the screen, I have tried dragging it but it wont move

    The FF screen is about 20mm from the left hand edge of the desktop and I can not move it so that I can read the right part of the FF screen

    I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue   Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar.  Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?

  • Snow Leopard install - can't login to my account since install

    I installed Snow Leopard last night, but since then have not been able to login to my own 'account' since them, am on a test account which I setup before, when having problems. The login only goes so far, it stops at the blank background and the spinning wheel spins for ages, machine chuggs, and then that's it. It does nothing, no apps, no hard disc icon, nothing. Just the photo I have on the background. HELP??? Anyone???

    Try Starting up in Safe Mode. (Be patient: Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup.)
    If you can then log into your normal account successfully, it means something in that account is still causing problems, like a login item, bad preference file, etc. If you are lucky, the steps Safe Boot does to remove bad caches, etc. will fix the problem (see What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? for more about these steps) & on a normal restart everything will be OK. More likely, it won't fix it & you will need to do more troubleshooting.
    For that, it would help to know what problems you were having before you created the test account.

  • Can't see Camera in Finder

    My camera (Nikon D90 DSLR) is recognised by iphoto ok but isn't seen in the finder or desktop like normal removable hard drives.
    I need to copy RAW images that iphoto can't import, I've loaded all the camera drivers etc, is it because the camera is just released or is there a way to make finder let me see the camera files.

    Now thats what i've been looking for, many thanks.
    (I want to back up the raw images so that when Aperture is able to handle D90 RAW images i have them stored)
    Thanks again
