Capture / FCP does not see camera

I just upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.0 from Final Cut Express 2.0. and Upgraded to Tiger. The program does not see my camera attached via firewire, though it is seen in system settings. The program crashes when I chose file/capture. I deleted preferences and capture still won't work. Any ideas?

You can't just upgrade to QT7 for some reason..you have to do some other trickery to get it to recognize your camera.
Again, found by simple search:
1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCE and see your camera.

Capture mode does not see external camera

When I use the capture in iMovie, it only allows you to choose the built in iSight camera, and the external web cam is long listed as a choice. The external works fine in other programs (like skype).
Is iMovie intentionally crippled to only work with iSight in capture mode? Or am I doing something wrong?
THanks

Thanks for your help...
It is a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 using drivers from mac.
It does show up in USB section under apple system profiler.
It is connected through a powered hub (I have tried it directly connected with no difference).
It is recognized fine in other programs, such as Skype (you can change from isight to external web cam).
I downloaded and installed iGlasses 2, but that did not solve the problem. Curiously, if memory serves me correctly, photobooth only works with isight internal, but after iGlasses 2 install, it works (only) with external (when external is available).
Any other ideas on why iMovie does not see the external web cam?

Skype does not see camera

Skype does not see the camera any more. I think it was working before - camera works fine with facetime, etc.
I installed recently ESET - could that be it?
Any help greatly appreciated. Fedele

Understood. That is what i do whenever I can. In fact, I always use Apple apps if they can do the job.
BTW, after I posted, it seems that the workaround link I cited may have been edited or modified.
If you decide to try to get Skype working again now, corrected workaround info is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/22984254#22984254

HT4101 Mini i-pad does not see camera

My camera connects successfully to my i-pad but my mini i-pad does not appear to recognise when I attach the same camera. Any suggestions?

If your device is not recognized, verify it is configured correctly:
iPad Camera Connector supports Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and Mass Storage Device protocol. Try both settings.

Iphoto does not see camera

I recently ran updates on all iLife suite. When a camera is connected now iPhoto starts up but does not recognize that there are photos on the camera to be uploaded. To make matters worse I cannot find a way within the software to tell it to go look at the camera (import).
I've tried a couple different cameras (low and high end) and a couple different machines, same outcome.
Will appreciate help,
Chuck

It's 6.0.6. I mention the upgrades as we installed all all Apple software updates that were issued since last fall over the summer. We re-image the labs once a year, as as long as everything is running OK do not run updates during the school year.
I've been tinkering and the Adminstrative log in group sees the camera in iPhoto. It's the student groups that have trouble so it has something to do with privileges.
Perhaps I need to post in another forum to get help with that?

Reconnecting Media FCP does not see?

I am going through lessons in the book and have copied media and project files from the hard drive. On some macs, everything seems to open fine, while on other macs, some of the media opens fine, however, some clips do not show in the Timeline, even though they appear in the Browser with a red line through them.
When I check the hard drive, the media is clearly on the hard drive.
1. Any idea why it might be doing this?
2. When I control click on the clip in question in the Timeline, and choose Reconnect Media, it works fine after locating the clip on the drive. Is there a way to do this for multiple clips rather than doing it one clip at a time?
Thanks!!!!

in the Reconnect Files window, when you press Locate and get the Reconnect dialog, there should be a checkbox saying "Reconnect All Files in Relative Path" ... if you enable that one it should find all other files in the same path without having to do it one by one

Why does Firefox does not see my Logitech webcam in Ver 4

worked fine in Ver3, does not "see" cam installed in ver 4

I tried all those steps with no luck, but when I restarted my keyboard stopped working too. I powered completely off, then back on and that fixed it.

Aperture does not recognize camera card.

Aperture does not see camera card iin card reader connected to a USB port, although I can see the card both in iPhoto and with Finder. When I plug it in it shows very briefly in Aperture and then dissapears. This is something new as I have used the software, card and card reader for a couple years and had no porblems. Aperture sees all the other components of the system, including external drives, but only briefly (1 second) the card reader.

Hello John,
If after reformatting the card you still have problems to see your camera in in Aperture you may have a problem with the "Preferences" file.
Remove the file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" from the "Preferences" folder in your User Library, as described in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805; don't delete the file, just remove it to the Desktop, so you can put it back, if it does not help, for after removing the Preference file all settings will be reset to their default setting.
Léonie
P.S. How do you delete the images from the card, if you do not format the card to erase them? It is not save to let any imaging software on your computer do that, that may corrupt the file system on the card. Your camera knows best how to delete the images.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good. Has something changed? Thanks!

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

IPhoto does not see the camera

iPhoto does not see the camera, although it worked really well for two years. Computer has been regularly updated. Please help, thank You.

Image Capture doesn't see the camera. I have tried with two different Sony cameras, that I have been using for a long time on this computer. It is iMac 27''. Both of these cameras work normaly in MacBook Air, that means that the problem is not in the camera, or the cards. Those are the things I have tried so far. Only difference I created on the computer is that I have, two or three days ago, installed external hard drive WD My Book Studio which is connected to the computer by FireWire 800.

HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

IPhoto does not see my camera

iPhoto '09 did see my new Panasonic camera at first, and I could import the images and videos without any issues.
Now - a day later - there is some images and movies on my camera's SDHC card, and it does not see the camera at all. I do see the camera card in the finder. So the card is readable. It is just that all of sudden iPhoto does not see it anymore. I tried hence and forth restarting iPhoto and camera but no luck.
The only thing I did in between was loading of a bunch of images from my camera card (via Camera Connector Kit) to my iPad 3. And removing the images (the iPad 3 does not seem to recognize the videos - which is another issue...) via the Photo app on iPad. I then wanted to load the videos (and some new images I tookl direcfly to iPhoto on my iMac. But htat now does not seem to work.
Any tips are much appreciated!

Try these:
1) Go to Disk Utilities and repair permission -- see if it works. If not go to #2
2) If that doesn't work d/l a program call OnyX. Make sure you get the the specific version for the version of OS X you are running. Run the program and go to Maintenance and run all three options Permissions (reset home directory checked), Scripts (run all, but don't delete logs), and rebuild (check LaunchServices and dyld's shared cache). Then go to Cleaning. In System check Kernal and Extentions and Other components. In User make sure at least Applications and Temporary items are checked. You can check the others if you want - no harm will come, just more time. You will be asked to restart your computer each time, but ignore until you have reached this point. When you have done all of the above reboot
Test again. Your camera shoud show up.

I am trying to import i frame from an SD90 video camera to iMovie, but it does not see the camera. Footage goes to i photo Why?

I am trying to import video ( i frame) from an sd90 ( listed for mac) but i movie does not see the camera. It imports into i photo. Is this normal ?

If you quit iPhoto and iMovie (with the camera still attached) then put the camera into VCR playback mode. Then launch iMovie and see if it can see the camera. If not, get out the power adapter for the camera and plug it into the wall, plug the camera into the power adapter. Reboot your Mac and wait for iPhoto to launch again automatically. Don't let it import the clips, just say No, quit the program. Then put the camrea int VCR/Playback mode, launch iMovie and check again to see if it can see the camera. Once iMovie sees it the first time it should be quicker to recognize it in future. But iPhoto does try to race in there and grab everything first.
To turn this off go to iPhoto Menu in iPhoto > Preferences > Look for Connecting camera opens: (click on the pulldown menu and choose No Application) This effectively turns off iPhoto when you first attach the camera. And it opens the way to iMovie recognizing it quicker.

After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see Sony camcorder in iMovie anymore. It still works on MacBook, so nothing wrong with camera or connections.

After upgrading to Mavericks my iMac does not see my Sony camcorder anymore. I tried the new iMovie as well as the old version 9.0.9, which is still in Applications. I checked the camcorder and connections in iMovie on my MacBook (not upgraded) and that still functions properly, so the problem does not seem to be in iMovie, old or new, or in camcorder and connection.
Anybody with the same problem or a solution?
Thanks mbkom
