Canon 60D not recognized by iMac

My early 2013 iMac 27" running Mavericks does not recognize my Canon 60D when plugged in via USB.
I've tried Image Capture, iPhoto, Lightroom. Nothing will recognize it. I've also tried plugging via USB hub and straight into a USB port of the iMac. Even tried different USB cables. No luck.
I also have a late 2008 MBP running Mavericks and it reads my camera just fine when plugged in via USB.
I know I can just use a card reader, but that's not the issue here. Why does my MBP read the camera just fine but iMac doesn't? It was working fine last week and out of nowhere it just stopped working. I'm baffled.

                                                                                                                    2014.06.15
Some questions and suugestions.
When did it stop functioning ? If it works on another computer, you at least know that the Canon is OK.
So the Canon works, leaving the iMac as the most likely culprit, but I think you may be looking in the
wrong direction. Go to the Canon web site and see if they have a later driver than what's in your iMac.
I would also send separate emails to Canon and to Apple. I'm sure that both would be interested.
               I hope that this may be of some use to you; when any product fails to function, its' usually
driver related. Other than that, take two asperins and call yourself in the morning. ( lame, but I couldn't resist )
                                                                                                  théo de boer

Canon MV830i not recognizing on imac

Hi there,
I have a canon MV830i DV cam. i have a 4 pin to six pin firewire cord plugged into the imac and turn the cam on to VCR and it doesnt recognize it. does anyone have any ideas of how to do it? ive searched all threw the internet and cant find anything.

Have you tried the Guiness solution yet?
Shut everything down
Unplug everything
Go take a walk or get hammered (15min. for the FW port to reset)
Come back and plug everything back in, turn on camera first, then iMac.
Make sure System Profiler sees the camera
Set FCP Device Control preset to DV-NTSC Basic
Try to log and capture
Does it work now?

USB Medical Device not recognized by iMac or Windows through Parallels 7 Virtual Machine

I have a USB Medical device which initially i was using through a Windows based Laptop, I want to connect it to my iMac to use it through Parallels on Windows 7. The device is not recognized by my iMac therefore it is not recognized by the virtual machine. It does not show in the Universal Usb devices or else. It is a Windows USB Device.
Would appreciate your help.
Thank you
Kantu

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get the WD hard drive back up and running using the Disk Utilities application. I tried to fix it using the diagnose / repair option but that failed so I had to reformat and partition it. Now it works great but I lost all the data that was on it. I still don't know what caused the problem and hope it doesn't happen again.

Hi, Jake. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's possible that your AirPort card has fizzled out on you. AirPort card failure doesn't happen very often, but it happened to me once, and it was very frustrating.
We diagnosed what was wrong with mine by my husband swapping his AirPort card with mine. Then my iBook would connect, but his wouldn't, so we knew it was the card.
Will the iBook work on any wireless network? Do you have someone with whom you could swap cards to see if that's the problem?
Possible sources for replacing the original AirPort card (links last checked 8/19/07):

Have you tried using the other USB port? If neither port works, try plugging in a USB mouse to see if it works to confirm that your USB ports aren't damaged.
Have you installed any new software? Maybe a Security Update or something similar? Sometimes that will break functionality of third-party drivers.
You may need to go to the website of the manufacturer of the USB wireless device to see if an updated driver is available.

When did you buy it, Jake?
There is a driver that was released on June 19, 2007.
http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D9050&aid=5925&scid=0
Even if this is the one you have installed, you may want to reinstall it.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Since Jake hasn't posted in over two months, either that driver worked for him, he found the answer elsewhere, or he gave up. Since he hasn't posted back, we have no way of knowing.
What model computer do you have?

Since you're running Leopard, I surmise that your iMac takes the AirPort Extreme card?
May I ask why you don't just get one of those? As I post this, the Apple Store has a refurbished one for $29.00.

I am not running Leopard... using 10.4 and I already own the product. It is suppose to work and there is no reason to purchase another unit. All I need to understand is how to make the IMac recognize the USB device or how to configure the unit. Others have stated in this and other forums that they have used this unit with success.
Thanks for address this specific issue.

Your specifications at the bottom of your post state that you're running Mac OS X 10.5.1?
You may want to post in the Internet and Networking your iMac (Flat Panel) Forum. Maybe someone there can help you out. (You've posted in the iBook G3 Forum.)

I am using a laptop to connect to the internet not the machine that I am writing about. If I could do that I would not need any help. I will check out the other forum but this thread is on topic.
Mac OS X (10.5.1)

The information in your thread references an iBook quite a lot but the title of this post says iMac so I going to assume that you are trying to use this device with an iMac.
It is also unclear what version of the Mac OS you are using.
Let's start by stating the fact that these USB networking networking devices are not inherently supported by the Mac OS. Therefore they need drivers. These drivers are usually fragile and only work with a well defined version (or versions) of the Mac OS. Anytime that you make any upgrade to the Mac you are able to create an incompatibility with the driver and the device.
The Belkin F5D9050 does have some Mac OS drivers available at this link.
You should uninstall/remove the current driver for this device.
Restart your iMac.
Download and install the appropriate driver for the version of Mac OS on your iMac.
Restart your iMac.
If that doesn't work, either get the original AirPort card for the internal wireless slot in the iMac or get an Ethernet wireless adapter. An Ethernet wireless adapter requires no drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device.

Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

Will do. Thanks for the advice.
This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

Ipad not recognized on imac

When I had to reset my IPAD( couldnt remember my password), my iMAC does not recognize my Ipad and unable to sync any music, apps etc.
I have tried everything, what is the next step?

Correct on Ipad assumption; not recognized on my Imac or Mac Pro.
Also, my Mac Pro has Itunes11 installed correctly, still didnt matter.
I have to figure out how to uninstall Itunes on my Imac, somehow its corrupted.
When I move Itunes to Trash, I get the message that ITunes cannot be modified or deleted bc its required by Mac OS......
So, its two problems.
IPAD not recognized and Itunes not loaded to R11 on Imac and unable to uninstall/re-install.
HELP....

Printer Canon MG2450 not recognized in PC

I've acquired a new Printer Canon MG2450. After ingtalling the driver from CD and/or the official site, I see that the HW is not recognized by the PC.
I've installed/uninstalled the driver several times, I've plugged/unplugged the USB cable. Even I've tried with another USB cable, Reset the PC, etc... but when I perform the "Diagnose" from the driver, the printer is not recognized.
BTY: I've installed the pack3 in windows before, as needed.
Do you have any idea how can I do to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot,

If you have an external firewire drive attached, disconnect it and try again using Firewire Basic as the capture control protocol.

HT2948 Canon HV20 not recognized by Mac Book Pro w/Retina Display

My Canon HV20 is not recognized by my MacBook Pro Retina Display using IMovie. Mac Customer support referred me to Canon for resolution; however, the the Mac site indicates Final Cut Pro supports the HV20.
I'm willing to purchase Final Cut Pro, but will it work? Mac customer support indicated if it is not recognized by IMovie, it probably won't be recognized by Final Cut Pro.

You need to be connecting from the camera to the computer via Firewire (iLink), not USB.
There are anecdotal reports of problems with Firewire 4 pin to Firewire 9 pin (FW400 to FW800) cable adaptors. You might try switching cables to see if you get better results - and it appears that a dedicated cable with a 4 pin connector on one end and a 9 pin connector on the other works best.

After clicking ignore the nano is not to be found. I have a G4 running OSX 10.3.9, is that my problem? Is there a fix or not, do i have to update to the latest OSX?

Yes. Refer to the *Mac system requirements* of Apple - iPod nano - Technical Specifications (or on the back of the box the Nano came in) for the minimum OS & iTunes versions you will need.

External USB Hard Drive not recognized on iMac HELP!!

I am currently using a i5 iMac running Lion 10.7.5
I have recently partitioned a Verbatim USB external hard drive and uploaded all my footage from a wedding. This was done with no problems and the QT videos could be opened from the hard drive.
A few weeks later, the hard drive does not show up in my finder. BUT it is recognized in disk utility. Here is a screen shot;
So first I ran "Verify" and it told me to repair disk. After clicking on Repair, I got this;
It is giving me the error message "Invalid B-Tree node"
Here is more info on the hard drive;
Name : Hitachi HTS545032B9A300 Media
          Type :           Disk
          Partition Map Scheme :           Master Boot Record

          Partition Number :           0
          S.M.A.R.T. Status :           Not Supported
Can someone give me a step by step on how to get the hard drive working again? It would mean the world to me as this footage is priceless and irreplaceable.
OR can you refer me to someone (Geek Squad? Apple Store?) that might be able to help me out?
Thanks in advance!

The error message invalid b-tree node size indicates that the directory on the disk is corrupt. The way that it can be repaired is to reformat as disk utiltiy says.
It is recommended that the data be backed up first before either of this solution are done.
Since it is not be recognized by the sytem at all it does sound like you can back it up now.
Do you have a backup?
If you don't there is every chance you may lose all your data.
You can check to see if a data recovery service can recover any data for you. If you go that route you are looking at spending $$$$

External hard drives not recognized by imac

I am a new Mac user and have been having lots of trouble getting my external hard drives to mount. I have a simpletech and a seagate external hard drive both NFTS formatted neither of which is recognized by my iMac. They don't show up on disk utility or system profiier under USB ports. They both work on my PC laptop and a friends iMac (OS 10.6.4) just fine. I have a card reader and flash drive that work perfectly on my iMac. Apple support orginally thought it might be the logic board so they replaced it. The new one is having the exact same problem. Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be the problem?? This is driving me insane.

I'm having exactly the same problem with a new iMac purchased one week ago. I have two Maxtor drives and one WD, all firewire 400 drives, all of which mount briefly and then unmount and will not mount again. I am not new to Macs. The drives work fine on the older PowerPC Mac running 10.4.11. These drives contain my backups and aren't recognized by the new iMac. I cannot believe that 3 external drives are all going into failure mode at the same time since they were all purchased at different times and only used as backup drives, so they weren't on all of the time. Is there an incompatibility between 800 and 400?? I'm using a LaCie 800 to 400 firewire cable. Suggestions??

External HDs not recognized by iMac when using USB cable

I just bought a new iMac & plugged in my two Western Digital 1tb drives using the supplied USB cables and neither of them are recognized by my iMac.
I've been using both of these drives with my other G5 iMac using the firewire cables & have not had any issues. I also purchased an adapter (USB -->firewire 800) and each hard drive mounts ... but neither will mount using the USB connections.
Any suggestions as to how I can get the second drive to work using the USB cable ...
Thanks,
Brent

+do I need to move the contents of the external drive off the unit before the partition?????+
YES! Absolutely! The partitioning process erases the drive, so you need to temporarily copy data onto your old Mac.
+how do I achieve this? I'm guessing there's a piece of hardware that I'll need to connect the two hard drives together and then feed another line into the iMac ... correct?+
All you need are firewire cables (hard drive to hard drive to iMac). See Dennis' link and the excerpt here:
+Question 7: Can FireWire devices be connected in a daisy chain?+
+Answer: Yes, and if the devices are designed according to the FireWire standard, they can be turned on and off as needed. For example, all devices don't need to be powered on to use the last device in the chain. For the best result, and to avoid overstressing the FireWire port, connect one FireWire device to the Macintosh, then add one device at a time to the chain. Avoid plugging in live power adapters into devices connected to the chain.+
And congratulations on your new iMac - you'll love it; I got mine about a month ago.

Canon HV10 Not Recognized By Final Cut Express HD

Final Cut Express will not initialize my new HV10. iMovie has no problem downloading so I do not believe it is my computer, a Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC. Anyone know if this a problem with the software?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Not only Canon HV10,
my Sony HCR-HC3E also has this problem.
The quality of footage after capture is very poor.
When I use iMovie to capture the footage,
iMovie show that it is using the codec 1080i25.
Final Cut Express HD has not provide this codec,
only has 1080i50 and 1080i60.
I have ask about this, the feedback is that there is no
codec that call 1080i25.
How can I do?
There are the samples of my problem.

New IPad 2 not recognized on IMac

I just purchased an IPad 2 and just after upgrading my IMac to Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I connected my IPad 2, for the first time, and the computer would not and still does not recognize it. The computer recognized my new Ipod shuffle, but not the IPad. I connected the IPad to my older Laptop with WIndows Vista (old I know) and it connected fine, no problems..any solutions?

Jason-
Upgrade your iMac to 10.6.8 and iTunes to version 10.3.1, and see if it makes a difference.
