Canon Elura 80 suddenly no longer recongized by HD express

I've imported a lot of video but last night, no matter what I tried, I could not get my mac to recognize my camera. The only change I know of is I lost the original Canon cable and replaced it with a new IEEEE-1394 cable. I tried two different cables. I unplugged my external firewire hard drive. I unplugged the computer for ten minutes. I used easy settings. I truly appreciate any and all help solving this problem. Thank you!

If this was a recent OS update, try
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
After that, trash your preferences and repair permissions.

Reboot. Disconnect all other devices except the keyboard and mouse. Plug in the camera. Turn it on in VCR mode. Launch the application. Set the correct settings for your media. Does the application see the device? If not, do not proceed further. Check the connection and try a different cable.

  • Canon Elura and Powershot no longer are recognized by 10.4.7

    Looks like others are having this same problem, but there are no answers to the previous posts, so thought I'd add my problem to the queue. I'm pasting in the response I got from Canon when I emailed them. Apparently they recognize that the recent upgrade has created communication/recognition problems with Mac. Obviously their suggestion to use iPhoto to upload pics is not a solution. They state that they are working on it, and I wondered if Mac was working on the problem from their end. Thanks.
    Dear Customer;
    Thank you for your inquiry. We value you as a Canon customer and
    appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
    Please note, with the update of OS 10.4.7, we are experiencing an issue
    with USB communications. You may attempt to download using Apple's
    software iPhoto.
    Currently, our only suggestion is to revert back to Mac OS 10.4.6 if you
    wish to keep USB communication. Our engineers have been notified and
    are currently investigating the cause of this issue. You may also wish
    to contact Apple for possible updates to resolve this issue.
    Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your
    PowerShot A60 and Elura 60.
    Thank you for choosing Canon.
    Sincerely,
    Technical Support Representative G5 Desktop   Mac OS X (10.4.7)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Which Powershot camera are you having problems with? Did you update to 10.4.7 via the Software Update preference pane? If you download and reinstall the 10.4.7 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
    With the camera attached check System Profiler and see if it recognizes the camera. You can try using Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, to download from the camera to the desktop. If will often work.
    Do you Twango?

  • I have a Canon Elura 60. Problem is it zooms in automatically while taking pictures

    My Elura 60 zooms in automatically while taking pictures or reviewing pictures that have already been taken

    Hi boosted!
    Thanks for posting.
    Please make sure the Zoom Lever is centered.  If it is not, try moving it back and forth a few times, leaving it at center.  If it continues to zoom on its own, then the camcorder needs repair.
    The Elura 60 is no longer in service life, so it is no longer serviced by our Factory Service Centers.  However, you have the option to participate in the Canon Loyalty Program instead. 
    The Canon Loyalty Program option allows you to replace your current camcorder for a discounted fee.  The original non-functioning camcorder would then be returned to Canon USA for recycling using a prepaid shipping label that would be provided.  If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department at (800) OK CANON (800-652-2666) seven days a week, 8am to Midnight.  Let them know you have been working with online technical support and the Canon Loyalty Program was offered.  Be sure to have your serial number for your camcorder at the time of your call.

  • How to connect a Canon Elura 50

    I have a Canon Elura 50 (NTSC Digital Video Camcorder) circa 2003.  I know I have connected it in the past to a former version of iMovie, but have forgotten the magic.
    Now that I have iMovie 11 and a new iMac (late 2012) with Tunderbolt connection, can I connect the Canon for A) live video to use with Skype or FactTime, and B) to download movies recorded with this camera?
    The Elura 50 has both USB and DV outs, but when connected via USB the camera appears to be invisible to iMovie, FaceTime and Skype.  I haven't yet tried the DV to to Thunderbolt yet (or to Firewire via a Thunderbolt adapter.
    (In fact, I see no way in preferences to select an experior camera for FaceTime at all.  I also find no controls in System Preferences for adding second cameras to the iMac.)
    Can anyone point me to specific or even general information about the proper connections for a second camera?  Help with connecting my Elura 50 would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I haven't yet tried the DV to to Thunderbolt yet (or to Firewire via a Thunderbolt adapter.
    But that is the way to do it if Your Mac don't have a FW400 or FW800 connector.
    BTW - the FW400 to FW800 converter works BADLY and is not recommended from me.
    Your Camera has
    • USB - to transfere still Photos from it's memory-card to iPhoto (or to Your Mac in other way)
    • mini FW (FW100 - 4-pin) connector - to be able to Export DV movies to Your Mac and iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD or Adobe Premiere etc. There are no way around FW-Cable.

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

    I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    J.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • LR 4 suddenly no longer recognizes files.

    My LR 4 suddenly no longer recognized my memory cards. I am using the same cards and cameras but consisitently get the error message:"files not imported because the files could not be read. they are jpg and nef files...I am stuck without my workhorse! Any advice is helpful. This has never happened in 6 years

    This error message means you don't have write permission to the destination folder (the folder where the files are going to be copied to). One reason this happens is that the folder has accidentally been changed in the Lightroom Import dialog box. Please check to see if the specified folder (perhaps different than the folder you had previously used) has WRITE permission and if not, change the permissions.

  • My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

    One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
    Thanks very much for all your help!
    Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from  system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
    However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
    Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

  • Converting my VHS tapes to a DVD using a Canon Elura 100 camcorder

    I'm new to iMovie and this discussion board
    I am trying to convert my VHS tapes to my powerbook G4 using iMovie 3.03. I've connected the wires correctly, I've tried it with a tape in the camcorder and without a tape. iMovie shows the camera connected, but I do not see the video from the VHS tape on my laptop. I changed the AV DV to "on" like the instructions stated.
    #1 do I need to upgrade to iMovie 6?
    #2 Anyone know of the common problems associated with this? Specifically with the Canon Elura 100
    G4 power book   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Karsten!
    Thanks for the response. Yes, I am able to import from my camcorder/miniDV to my laptop. I've also made sure I don't have any other devices connected except for the power cord on the camcorder and my latop, which shouldn't matter right?
    I have set up my camcorder to my VCR and tried to record on my camcorder, but that did not work either. I did not check in the manual if I had it connected right, or the settings right with this process. I'll try again and check with the manual. Also, I'm going to get iMovie 6 sometime this week, maybe that might make a difference?
    Thanks again

  • Heading style is suddenly no longer applied in RH8

    My colleague has been using a custom header style with no problems.  The other day, the style is suddenly no longer applied in preview.
    The project and styled text appear as they should on my computer, but not his.
    Coincidentally, an upgrade to Explorer 7 was made prior to the new issue, but not sure why that impacts the preview, and the upgrade doesn't impact the project appearance on my computer.
    Does he need to reinstall Robohelp to fix this issue? 
    Just in case, the style is:
    P.01ProcessHeading {
    font-weight: bold;
    font-style: normal;
    margin-bottom: 12pt;
    margin-left: 0in;
    border-bottom-style: Ridge;
    font-size: 18pt;
    color: #000000;
    border-bottom-width: 2px;
    border-bottom-color: #db281c;
    font-family: Arial;
    The HTML of the styled text is:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta name="generator" content="Adobe RoboHelp 8" />

               style="border: none;" width="16"

    I wondered if charset=utf-8 might be a problem - mentioned on another forum topic, http://forums.adobe.com/message/1937722#1937722

    Hi,
    The name of the style starts with numbers. This is invalid CSS and is causing the problems. The best solution is to rename the style (don't use numbers if you can avoid it) and use a find and replace operation to correct the style in your project. (Make a backup first).
    Search for all class="01ProcessHeading" and replace it with class="MyNewName".
    You can validate your css by using the free W3C CSS validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

  • Can't control Canon Elura 100 DV Cam in PPro CS4

    Hi,
    I am comparing Final Cut Express vs. Premiere Pro CS4 trial, and I cannot get Premiere to control and import from my DV Cam, which is a Canon Elura 100. Has anybody been able to use this camera? My system is a MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    If the camera does not have firewire out, you are out of luck.
    Firewire is required to capture.

  • IMovie won't recognize my Canon Elura 85, can't import video.

    Hi there, I'm trying import video from my Canon Elura 85 into iMovie. It only has a USB port and a "DV" port (I have no idea what this DV port is, I'm using the provided USB cable). iMovie says there's no camera attached. I tried using image capture, it couldn't find it either. Everyone else who has an Elura 85, doesn't seem to have problems importing, just seperating takes. I can't even import. Can anyone help me? Many thanks. -A

    Yeah, figured out that that DV out was the firewire cable out. Feeling real slick right about now.
