Connecting camera to Mac
When I connect my Fuji Finepix A350 camera to my Mac to import photographs I get following message " no camera is connected" although it had been connecting OK previously. Can anyone help
John Campbell
The problem media card can most likely be fixed by formatting in the camera - erasing the card using the camera menu option.
Don't try to erase/ format it using the Mac.
iPhoto and Image Capture can figure out a solid media card format (formatted in the camera) but the camera may have problems trying to figure out a Mac formatting - which will lead to problems trying to import.

Problems to connect camera to mac osx

Connect cam to mac book with out 1394
How could I connect Dv cam to Macbook with out port 1394 in this computer?
With out port 1394 and PCMCIA! That's very bad.
perevise model of macbook has all this kind of hi speed port.
Why This model has not at least 1 port?
What is your suggest for Hi speed transfer?
Best
AThe new MacBook doesn't have FireWire, only USB. If your camera doesn't have a USB port then you will need to buy a new camera model. Most new ones all support USB 2.0 instead of or in addition to FireWire.
If you needed FireWire support for the camera then you should have purchased the MacBook Pro or the White MacBook model which does have FireWire.
Intel Macs have never had a PCMCIA port. -
How to connect my camera on mac book?
how to connect my camera on my mac book?
Usually an appropriate cable, and other items are
included in the retail box a camera arrived in, so
there should be instructions by that manufacturer
to most suitably attach the camera to a Mac or PC.
Usually the computer will automatically detect the
camera when attached by USB cable; the Mac will
offer to use iPhoto or another application, to view
and handle image processing; or you could choose
to select a different application, or none at all.
For my Macs and two cameras, I do not have iPhoto
handle the images and I choose third-party software
because I don't make libraries of images in the Mac.
However depending on the computer and the camera
the Mac may already have sufficient drivers already
installed; so a software installation from a CD from the
camera maker may not be needed in order to use it.
Since your question is rather wide and gives no info
as to what you have, the replies are also generalized.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Can't connect my camera to mac
Hi,
I have a Nikon D40x and I can't connect it to my mac. I plug it in, but absolutely nothing happens. The camera says "connecting to PC." but no reaction even after 2 hours. Does anyone have an idea of what to do?HI,
If you have iPhoto installed, launch iPhoto. From the iPhoto Menu Bar, click iPhoto/Preferences and select the General tab. Where you see: Connecting camera opens; click the pop up menu and select iPhoto.
Also, check the Nikon vendor site here to make sure your camera is Mac OS X compatible.

Mac freezes when connecting camera
My camera >>Nikon Coolpix 775<< is listed as compatable to Tiger but I am not having any luck with it! Everything was working swimmingly until I upgraded all my software (Tiger, iPhoto, etc) last week. Now when I connect my Nikon everything freezes up--I have to do the dreaded hard reboot. I've tried creating a new library, checked my camera's card, and looked throughout the discussion boards but am stuck. It's miserable...
Would incompatability to my camera give me such a problem? What could be causing this?
Someone please help!Hi Mate,
dont know if you have got your ipod working yet, but I have just managed to get mine back up and running at last!! I reinstalled my old ipod installer disc, erased the memory, and connected to my mac, it would get up to about 78 tracks then freeze again, really ****** me off, but then I charged my ipod fully and tried again, straight away all my tracks were loaded, I am so bloody pleased, took a gamble wiping memory though but had to try something!!
Hope this helps you,
cheers

"There is no connected camera" error
After updating to 10.9.2, I can no longer access the camera built in to my Cinema Display and connected to my 2009 Mac Pro. It fails to work in all applications I tried, such as Skype, FaceTime and Photo Booth. Typically, I get an error that says "There is no connected camera." I can’t say for sure that the update caused the problem, but I became aware of it shortly after doing the update. The camera in my similarly-updated MacBook Pro works just fine.
Here’s all the relevant diagnostic info I can provide:
• The camera is still listed as “Display iSight” in System Information
• The problem affects all user accounts, not just my main account
• Resetting the SMC had no effect. Restarting had no effect.
• Trying to kill VDCAssistant, either via the Terminal killall command or via Activity Monitor had no effect. In fact, it appeared that neither command successfully killed the two VDCAssistant processes I had going.
• Console is showing a steady stream of VDCAssistant crashes. A key part of the crash report states: “Client is attempting to access a display by index (1) instead of display ID. abort () called.”
• ONE THING DID WORK: If I restarted via a Safe Boot, the camera worked! This confirmed my suspicion that the camera itself (or its connection) is not broken. A software fix should be sufficient. I’m just not sure what to fix.
When I did a normal restart after the safe boot, the camera failure returned.
• I used Cocktail to clear the System Cache. It too had no effect.
If anyone can figure this out, I would be most grateful.Hmmmm.... The camera is working properly on my 24" LED Display connected to my 2009 Mac Pro!
Did you try both:
(1) a restart Mac, repair permissions, 10.9.2 Combo Update, and another permissions repair and,
(2) OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X via the built-in recovery disk?

hi all
im having trouble getting my laptop to connect to my mac using migration assistant. my mac has a code on the screen but my laptop doesnt respond and just says it waitng for my mac to respond.
any idea? pleaseHi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

My Photo Booth is not working. There is no connected camera. Help, anyone?
I have been having this problem for weeks now and I hope some people here will be able to help me.
I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" about 6 months ago and I rarely use it because I still have my old MacBook with me. Recently, my Photo Booth won't work. It says, "There is no connected camera." Can anyone help me? Is there something to do with iSight? Tell me what should I do?
Help is much appreciated. Thank you.Use the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The SMC reset often fixes your problem. Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model. -
PSE 12 don't start when connecting camera
Photodownlaoder don't start when connecting camera or sd card. Even when its started manually, the media won't get imported to harddisk.
I'm using windows 8. Camera is tested on several computers with differnet fot software and funtions perfect. PSE 12 causes me trouble...One more information:
this is my second iPhone that I use on the mac. I gave my first phone back to the dealer because
of some cracks in the housing and I activate this second phone.
Maybe this is the reason, that iTunes doesn´t react ?
Can I control or delete the first iPhone (or must I do this ?)
Where can I look after all my confirmed iPhones and iPods on my iTunes ?
Many questions; I know.... -
Blue cast with connected cameras
When ever I use either my internal iSight camera OR a Firewire connected camera as a webcam I get a blue monochrome image. Using the iSight for one of the iLife apps it works fine. I have posted here because I'm under the impression that it is Quicktime that configures cameras in the Mac OS, but I can find no way of altering the way QT is intergrating with websites and controlling the video. I can move the same Firewire camera to my G4 laptop running the same OS (10.4.8) and have no problems on the same website, so it is a problem with the Intel based iMac somewhere.
Intel iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.8)Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't believe it to be an iSight issue as the problem occurs with ANY camera hooked to that computer and used as a webcam. The same caneras work fine on another computer.

HT1462 my FaceTime says that there is no connected camera? Help Please
my FaceTime says that there is no connected camera? Help Please
If restarting Mac does not resolve your trouble, try all the relevant suggestions (including testing more than one Apple camera application in more than one user account) from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight support article.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
If your Mac's System Information utility still does not recognize your inbuilt camera as a USB device, you most likely have a hardware problem. There are no user serviceable parts of the camera. For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service. Unless you have a current backup, make one now. Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion: "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
Goal
- I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
- These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
- However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
(The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
Attempt
-I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
-I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
Troubleshoot
-So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
-Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
Question
-How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
-I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
-So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
Computers
-PC
-Mac
whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
Thanks!After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.
Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?
