Canon 5D MkII not detecting in iMovie and Photo Booth

Background:
Until a few weeks ago we were using a Panasonic N28 Camcorder to take photos via Photo Booth and record videos via Image Capture. We had it connected using Firewire and maybe we also had USB too and it was able to shoot videos via iMovie'11 too. We now replaced this model with a Canon 5D MkII.
Issue:
Our Canon 5D MkII replaced our camcorder and it's connected via usb to our MAC running Mountain Lion and iMovie'11 with the latest update, yet it is not recognised by iMovie & Photobooth. It it unable to be selected and used instead of the iSight camera. It works fine in Image Capture so there is no hardware issues with the Canon 5D MkII. I can import recorded movies into iMovie'11 also.
What is the issue? Is there anything I need to download from Apple? Can my Canon 5D MkII be used in place of my Apple iSight camera?
Please help if you can.

I guess that may be a valid point, the Panasonic N28 Camcorder was of relatively low grade certainly not HD.
So if I want a better camera to use in place of the isight camera, am I best off going with a webcam?
My Panasonic was had a screw mount so I put a very wide lense on it. i also was able to vary the depth of field and achieve really good results. This is why I wanted the 5D to be used, and need an alternative.

Video & Audio out of sync using iMovie and Photo Booth

I just bought a NEW iMac this month and I am trying to record a 5 min clip. during play back in iMovie and photo booth the video looks slow and its not synced with audio until the clip is at around 4:30.
I am using the internal mike and built in camera.
Its a new computer with plenty of space in it and no new programs.
I have looked through the threads on this sight but cant find my issue.
Please Help.
thank you,

Hello G E2
You have made a good start and already considered a couple of the most likely possibilities that could have caused your problem:
• CPU performance settings and
• multiple apps running
re: CPU performance setting: I am not certain, but your MBA may run even faster when it is connected to power that when running on battery, even with the processor performance setting configured for best performance. If you are not already running on AC power, do a test while plugged in and see if that helps.
re: multiple apps: Consider the possibility of background widgets or apps that might be running. If you have not already tested this way, restart your Mac to eliminate possible widgets, quit all startup items, verify that Spotlight is not your indexing disk, and verify that no Time Machine backups are running. Then test video recording again.
If you do not get your problem corrected otherwise, consider the relevant suggestions in this list of possibilites regarding A/V recording sync issues:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7089133&#7089133
Some of them may not be relevant to your MBA, but you may find something helpful there.
If your problem is as bad after any actions you try from that list, when you post back for other ideas, give the details of any new info you found as a result of the additional checks / tests / actions. We will try to offer detailed suggestions in reply to your specific new info and questions.

IMovie and Photo Booth

I recorded a video using my macbook pro (late 2013) using Photo Booth and I then imported it to iPhoto, I am trying to edit it using iMovie (also on my macbook) I can't edit the footage and it just doesn't pop up in the bar where you select which video you want to edit. The only place I can watch it is in Photo Booth where it was originally recorded and on iPhoto where I imported it to after filming. Can anyone help as I need to edit these videos, they were all filmed on the same device and it's as if they don't even exist to iMovie.

Hi
Yes this one is not Straight Forward - far away from the Easy way Apple use to be.
I tried: (Export in Photo Booth ==> Movie Date.gif --- STRANGE) and it doesn't convert in any of my tools
iMovie'11 v. 9.0.4 - NO
MPEG-StreamClip - NO
JES-DeInterlacer - NO
VLC - NO
QT - NO
Then I started to look for where it was stored and found it in:
My MacBook Pro / Macintosh HD / Users / My name / Pictures / Photo Booth
and as a Movie Date Clock.mov file and as this
This file I can Import to iMovie'11 v. 9.0.4 - or just drop into my movie project (BUT THEN I MUST NOT DELETE or Move the original as links then will break)
Hopefully You could be able to follow my way of doing it.
WHY EVER this is not just an Import button in iMovie is totally beyond my understanding - It stupid.

Iphone 4 is not detected by computer and itunes but it is charging

Iphone 4 (IOS 7) is not detected by computer and itunes.
I am the 2nd owner of this iPhone 4. I did all the troubleshooting said in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 but nothing resolved it.
Troubleshooting I did:
1. Used other iphone / ipod devices, it worked but not my iphone 4.
2. Used different Windows OS and different computer, Win7 & Win8, still not detected.
3. Used different USB cables, still not detected. But my current USB cable is working with other iPhone/iPod devices.
3. Uninstall / Install iTunes, still not detected.
4. There is no "X" in the device Manager, and also, portable devices is not showing upon plugging in the device.
5. Made sure that the Apple Mobile Service is running.
6. I only have iPhone devices, so I don't have any 3rd party Software conflicts.
Please help me. Thanks!

I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it. I tried again after downloading iTunes 10.6.1.7 and it said it's not compatible with the XP version.

I would recommend you try downloading iTunes for Windows 10.6.1 from this website for your XP based computer:

Check your system for possible Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
(Do not use your own Anti-virus to SCAN)
Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
To start your computer in safe mode
Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

Messages and Photo Booth not working properly

I've been having a problem with my Messages and Photo Booth applications, as well as a bunch of other Apple applications.
Messages won't let me switch conversations, Photo Booth won't let me click the video recording option, iMovie just won't work and GarageBand won't let me edit compositions. I've tried restarting my computer, but that didn't help (although my computer ran faster).
I also can't close the application without having to actually quit the application instead of clicking the x button.
Help would be gladly appreciated!

You can also try setting up another user account.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

Hello Partii,
It sounds like you may use a POP account for your email. With a POP account, email applications like Mail and Outlook can remove emails from the server, so when another device tries to check the server for new emails, it doesn't see any.
You may need to adjust settings in Outlook so that the emails are not removed from the server when downloaded. I found an article with more information:
When using a POP email account with multiple devices, email messages may only appear on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server once an email client has received it. You can configure your email client (or clients) either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your Inbox.
I recommend reviewing the full article for steps on adjusting these settings; you can find the full article here:

Video on skype not workin only in facetime and photo booth appears to be a common problem amongst user with a recently bought macbook air

Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
Anybody there to give me an advice?
Thanks.

Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.
Best.

I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

Installing a Google Apps mail account as an Exchange cause Camera FaceTime and Photo Booth to disappear from the Deskotp and are not retrievable. A deletion of the mail account returns the functions immediately

Brand ne iPad 3. Installing a Google Apps mail account as Exchange kills my Camera, Face Time and Photo Booth. They disappear from the Desktop and are nowhere to find or retrieve. Deleting the mail accoun t brings them back immediately. I have already full reset the device and updated the software with no result.
Is there a solution?

Yep, Meg, you were right and here are the steps which cure the issue. Disable camera is actually a basic Google Apps setting .
Log in to your Google Apps Control Panel.
Click on your 'Settings' tab.
Under the 'Org Settings' tab locate 'Mobile Settings/Device Settings'
Enable 'Allow camera'.
Save changes.
Re-Install Google Apps E-mail account
It works perfectly fine now.

Backdrops with Sony DV Camcorder in iChat and Photo Booth

Hello I have found the Backdrops will not work with my DV camcorder, I have seen on apple's iChat page that "Backdrop effects when using a DV camcorder require fixed focus, exposure, and white balance". How do I do that with my camcorder (or can it even be done on most?)

Hi,
Do you have an internal iSight as well ? (i.e. not a Mac Mini or Mac Pro)
Do the Backdrops work for that camera in iChat and Photo Booth ?
I have a MacBook Pro and it has an Interanl iSight
I have plugged in an X-Box 360 camera and the current USB 2.0 USB Video Class (UVC) camera I use with my G4 and they work.
Prior to buying the G4 a USB 2.0 Card and a new camera I was using A Dazzle Hollywood DV Convertor with a older Canon UC600 analogue Camcorder (Converting PAL TV signals to DV then via Firewire to the Computer) and this worked to the MacBook Pro as well
With that in mid I am not sure it all about the Auto Focus and White Balance other than those can help get the best pictures.
I would be interested in how the "Video" is getting form camera to computuer ?
What sort of Signal that is ?
Whether Backdrops work anyway ?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011). Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all. I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere. Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431
