Canon HV-40 and iMovie '09.  CAN'T IMPORT FROM CAMERA!

Canon HV-40 (USB) and iMovie '09 8.0.3 (802) - (USB Based video editing software) NOT TALKING!!!!
Just bought the camera because my new MacBook does NOT have a FIREWIRE connection.
Now I have three cameras.
Two Firewire ones, and one USB.
Can't work either with iMovie '09, nor iMovie HD 6.0.3 (267.2).
Thank you for helping me...

To import from Tape based cameras, you need Firewire. If you can still return your MacBook, trade it in for the 13" MacBook Pro with Firewire that was announced last week.

  • Can't import from camera-unrecognized format

    I've suddenly and unexpectedly encountered a problem importing photos from my camera to iPhoto.
    When I connect my camera to my computer with a USB cable and iPhoto opens, it attempts to show me the thumbnails of the photos to import.  However, all it shows are empty rounded squares where the thumbnails should be.
    When I click one of the import buttons (selected or all), I get an error that says,
    Unreadable files: [number]
    The following file[s] could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
    [List of filenames.  All JPEG format.]
    I reformatted my camera card, took a picture, and tried again.  Same thing.

    Hi Cory,
    I am having the same problem with my Easy Share Z650 as well.   I would tend to agree it was due to a software update, since  it was working fine until after a recent update. If it was not due to a software update, then I would like to know what else the cause would be.
    Using the card reader built into my MBPro is a nice work-around, thanks Terence, for that tip.  However, I would prefer Apple fixed the problem so I can plug the camera in and not take out the card everytime.   I have heard comments that taking the card out all the time is harder on the camera than plugging in the cable and using USB.
    Regards,
    Hugh

  • Canon Rebel XSi and OSX - How to copy files from camera?

    How do I copy the files from my Canon Rebel XSi to my Mac? I can "import them into iPhoto but is there a simple copy/paste option such as the camera appearing within the Finder?
    On Vista it comes up as a Camera device within Windows Explorer.
    Cheers
    Rex

    You might not be able to mount the Canon on the desktop unless it has a setting in the camera menu to switch it to USB Mass Storage mode. Many camera brands can do this, but many Canon models cannot.
    It's still pretty easy to get images off it, though. In addition to iPhoto, you can use Apple Image Capture to select and download images to any folder, or any other software that supports the XSi like Canon EOS Utility (included) or Adobe Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw. If the XSi doesn't turn up in those apps, make sure you've got the latest versions.
    I don't have the XSi, I have an older model, but according to reviews, the XSi still doesn't have USB Mass Storage support. Without that support I don't think it's going to show up on a Mac desktop.
    You may be seeing it show up for drag-and-drop on a Windows Vista desktop, but the link above says that drag-and-drop in Windows only supports JPEG files, not RAW files. Are you getting just JPEG files on the Windows desktop? If so, and if you intend to use the superior RAW format, then basically you don't have drag-and-drop on Mac or Windows, if the review is correct.

  • IPhoto 9.6 and Image Capture can't import from iPhoto, don't recognize devices or SD cards

    I'm running the latest version of Yosemite on a recent MacBook Pro, with iPhoto 9.6. I recently noted when trying to import photos from an SD card that iPhoto didn't recognize the SD card automatically, and ask whether I wanted to import my photos. I was able to manually tell iPhoto to import, and find the photos by navigating to the SD card on the desktop and finding the right directories on it, so I figured it was just a hiccup and went on with my life. But now I've hooked up my iPhone 5S via USB to my Mac, and iPhoto neither recognizes that it's connected nor imports photos from it. Image Capture doesn't recognize it, either.
    A few further notes:
    - I'm running iOS 8.1 on the phone.
    - My phone is unlocked when I'm trying to import photos.
    - iTunes 12 can recognize and connect with the phone just fine.
    Anyone having similar problems? Is there any help for this issue? Thanks much!

    Hello Nathan,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone is not being recognized as a camera on your computer, please follow the directions in the article linked to below.

  • Can't import from my camcorder into iMovie

    I have a SonyHDR-XR150E camcorder but imovie will not import video when I've connected it to the computer. 

    One thing to double-check when you connect the camera to the Macintosh is to always strictly follow these best practices.
    Get the power adapter for the camera, plug it into the Mains, plug the camera into the adapter
    Reboot the Macintosh
    Power on the camera, place it into Playback/VCR mode
    Connect the camera to the Mac using the USB cable supplied by Sony
    Launch iMovie
    Go File Menu > Import from Camera and see if it recognizes the camera
    These aren't hard and fast rules, but a way to help troubleshoot where in the chain of events things may be going wrong.

  • I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto.  I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past.  How do I fix this?  How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • Lightroom 3.6 update and now i can't import anything

    I've been using LR 3 for a while, really loving it, then a couple of days ago, I was prompted to an update for 3.6.  I did this and now I can't import anything.
    I'm using a Mac, OS 10.7, and I've been using a Canon 60D with great success and results, and nothing has changed except for me updating to 3.6.
    I'm using Camera Raw 6.6 and I updated the DNG converter to 7.2 and still it won't work.  The message i get is that the following couldn't be imported because they could not be read.  It's true for the RAW and the JPEG files, both.
    Help!

    I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

    I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
    I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
    You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
    Here is a link.

    Other things to check:
    Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

  • HT1414 My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to all upon and need the r

    My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

    If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
    The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago.  I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago;  but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
    A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password. 
    I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that.  With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software. 
    Best,
    Craig

  • Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4.  Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

    Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4.  Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

    For future reference, if there is an error message, you should probably quote it in your original message on the subject.
    "Could not be read" indicates that you do not have WRITE permission to the destination directory when you try to import, so change your permissions.
    "not recognized" might indicate the camera card itself is corrupted or the card reader is failing ... or the problem might go away if you change your permissions.

  • I got a iphone yesterday and today I was rearranging the icons and now I can't find my camera or safari icon

    I got a iphone yesterday and today I was rearranging the icons and now I can't find my camera or safari icon any ideas what happen?

    They can't be deleted so one of 3 things happened:
    1) You moved them into folders or to different pages. Reset the home screen layout if you can't find them.  Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    2) You set up restrictions on them. Settings>General>restrictions.
    3) You added an Exchange account for which the administrator has specifically prohibited the use of Internet browsers and cameras on phones.
    The only thing you can do in case 3 is remove the Exchange account and appeal to your IT department to change the policy.

    I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport.  I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't.  What do I have to do to set mine up?  The printer is an Epson R2400

    Is there a cd that came with the printer?
    If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
    If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
    Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
    Make sure the printer is on.
