Digital camera no longer syncs to iMac 10.6.8

Hello,
I have been using a Fuji Finepix E550 digital camera for years and for some reason tonight my iMac (running Snow Leopard) does not recognize it.  I've never experienced this before.  I've plugged the USB cable into the three different ports, as well as restarting several times.  I've plugged in my iPod into the same USB port and it works fine. The camera display states that it is being recognized but the computer doesn't. 
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, try doing both a iMac SMC and PRAM reset, try doing each 2x. If neither work then please restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. If neither work then try another cable and/or camera. If you still don't have luck then I'd recommend using a card reader that plugs into one of the USB ports.

  • Import from digital camera no longer works

    iPhoto 6.0.6
    I suddenly can't import photos from my Casio digital camera.
    It worked fine two months ago, with the same computer and the same camera.
    When I connect the camera to the computer, and turn the camera on, the camera appears on the Desktop, and iPhoto launches.
    At this point iPhoto used to display an "Import" button.
    But not anymore.
    Now iPhoto just displays the photo library with the already imported photos.
    No "Import" button.
    To force the import I tried Shift-Command-I.
    (I have never tried Shift-Command-I before, but I suppose it was worth a try)
    Shift-Command-I gave me a directory dialog box.
    In the directory dialog box I navigated to the camera, found the camera's subfolder with photos, and clicked "Import" in the directory dialog box.
    iPhoto began to prepare for import, but crashed after five seconds.
    Clicking on "Stop Import" had no effect, and I had to force quit.
    I tried all the above several times, and got the same result every time.
    Any ideas?

    Try:
    1- log into another account and try importing into a test library there (do no have iPhoto delete the files!).
    2 - boot into Safe Mode and try in your primary account.
    It you can't import in #3 and can in #2, a reinstall of iPhoto would seem to be mandated.If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    If you can't import in either #2 or 3, then a reapplication of the 10.4.10
    COMBOupdater is suggested. Followed by a repair of disk permissions, of course.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Torch will no longer sync with iMac

    I had set it up to sync with my iMac. And it was working. But now it does no longer work and I do not know why or what has changed.
    I basically use my bbry calendar for everything and I have my iMac calendar which gets updates from my kids' schools' and other calendars. I then sync the two and have a complete set of a calndear on both my bbry and my iMac. But now the two no longer sync.
    Same happens with my contacts which no longer sync.
    Also, when I am in the bbry desktop manager and have the calendar clicked it says: "There are no writebale Calendars available for syncing on this computer. Please launch iCal or Microsoft Entourage and create a new writebale calendar."
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Hey Chamakiotes,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the post.
    Follow the steps in this KB article to resolve the calendar synchronization error: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB20342
    With regards to the contact synchronization, do you get any specific errors?  Are you synchronizing the contacts to Entourage or just Mac Address Book?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Google contacts no longer syncing with iMac

    My Google Contacts no longer sync with my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. Several other threads on this, but no answers that work for me. I know Google no longer supports the exchange style sync and I've tried the CardDAV procedures with no success. Can someone give me procedures that will work for the Mac Address Book?
    Thanks

    Yes I am aware of that and already tried following their instructions. Doesn't work on my iMac. Pretty much every user that has had success with that procedure was using an iPhone or iPad. I'm thinking there is a difference with the Mac for some reason. When setting up the CardDAV with the iMac it states "Address Book couldn't discover the account setting for the CardDAV server "google.com". Make sure the user name and server address are correct, then click Create." I've tried my username is just my username and I've tried it as my full email address. I followed other threads suggesting to clicking SSL and trying a couple different port numbers, but still no success.

  • Since reinstalling Windows 7, I cannot sync my iMac and Win 7 bookmarks.

    Hi, since having to recently reinstalling Windows 7 on my iMac using Parallels 10, I can no longer sync my iMac Firefox bookmarks with my Win 7 bookmarks. My iMac bookmarks remain unaffected, but my Win 7 bookmarks will not sync and show the same old bookmarks as my iMac Firefox shows. I have deleted and re-registered my Sync account and still no different. I have tried adding my Win 7 OS as a new device, but Sync does not show the page for this. It just shows the Manage page and does not give me that option.
    Can you please help on how I can once again sync the two bookmarks?

    Hi guigs2
    Thanks for your suggestion but that hasn't resolved my problem. I have closed down my account, created a new one and still my iMac Firefox bookmarks will not sync with my Windows 7 Firefox bookmarks (I am using Parallels 10 virtual machine). I have noticed that my mobile firefox has sync'd though, so I just need my Windows firefox bookmarks to sync. Have you any further advice please?

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera.  iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode.  Help!

    Since upgrading to Mavericks my iMac no longer recognizes my digital camera.  iPhoto will open, but my camera never appears in the source list or goes into import mode.  Help!

    I found that if you open iMage Capture App that seems to trigger iPhoto to open and thew camera is connected.  At least that happens with my camera.  Good luck.

  • My ipad 4 will not sync my photos i took with my cannon digital camera, it worked 1 week ago and now will not??If in put it under video on the ipad i can not share or email.

    Had an Ipad 2 from Christmas 2011, used a digital camera to record video, a cannon ELPH series, I put the video in my Iphoto on my mac book pro and WAS able to sync them to my photo on my IPAD. The little photo with the camera icon on it was great no problems.!!! Then I was not able to do this any more, I had to drop the video into the video icon on the ipad from my itunes accunt, however you can not send the video to any one from the ipad like you can under the photo Icon, the buffering was also bad.  I got a new Ipad 4 for Christmas and again I was able to sync video when i connected it to my ipad and video i recorded with the cannon camera from halloween showed up GREAT!!! This was stored on my Ipad under the Photo Icon and I can send an email, imessage, etc with the vieo. Fast forward another week put my Christmas videos on my mac book pro and when i plugged my ipad to my mac book to sync in it again did not work, it would not sync the video to my photos, though I JUST did it a week earlier and it worked (those videos are still on the IPAD 4 and work fine). Why can I not do it now, I can drop the video into the video Icon on the IPAD and watch, but you can not send it anywhere as if u had it stored under the photo icon.???

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Can no longer download videos from my digital camera to iPhoto.

    OK people, please help me! I've been a Mac user for a couple of years now but still have no idea how to use it properly!! (having been a PC user all my life). Today I changed the quality on my digital camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ7) to be the lowest quality so I could fit more on my SD card, not feeling the need to read the instructions first. When I came to download to iPhoto, it wouldn't. So resorting to reading my camera instruction book, I needed to download some software that came with the camera which I did. But when I still couldn't download the videos using this software, I read the instruction book more thoroughly and discovered that the software I needed (PhotofunStudio) wasn't compatible with a Mac (PC only) and the software I had downloaded (Arcsoft Panorama maker and Arcsoft MediaImpression) obviously wasn't what I needed. When neither of these would download the video, I deleted the software from my iMac but when I opened iPhoto, it gave me some error messages about files not able to be read (or something similar, I can't quite remember) and a list of file names to which I clicked OK not even thinking about it. What that did was delete all videos from iPhoto I had downloaded from this camera! And now I can't download any videos from my camera to iPhoto!!! The only thing I can think is that it has changed the default download/view to be Arcsoft (even though I've deleted all the files - I think!!) So please, how do I get iPhoto to again download my videos? Sorry for the long winded post but because I am a hopeless Mac user, thought I would give as much info as possible!
    I'm computer literate with PC but definitely not Mac - it scares me as I don't know what I am doing plus it is my OWN machine so don't want to stuff it up (which is exactly what I seem to have done!). I had no trouble previously downloading videos on the higher quality setting to iPhoto. Please can someone help?!

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way

    Here is another

    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • Blue screen at "still digital camera" on first install/sync to XP

    I am trying to sync my new iphone with WinXP for the first time and each time computer tries to install the "still digital camera" driver it goes to Blue Screen and reboots. Phone is updated via another computer. Any help?

    Hi bvearley,
    Does your PC have software for a Logitech QuickCam/Webcam, Lexmark scanners, or a built-in media card reader?
    If it does try uninstalling the software from Control Panel, then testing again, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
    If the issue is no longer present, download updated driver software from the accessory manufacturer.

  • Contact sync seems corrupted. How to recover? iCloud, laptop, iphone work fine. iPad shows some entries in duplicate or near duplicate, and when you delete one, both get deleted. iMac no longer syncs at all though set to sync.

    iPad seems buggy, iMac simply not connected to syncing contacts (and focusing on it, not on Safari bookmarks either)
    iPad example:
    Two entries exist for a contact on iPad, identical or differing slightly (e.g. a space being added before a word or identical in one but not the other). I delete one of the entries and both entries disappear from ipad, iphone, icloud. Entry persists on iMac. 
    iMac:
    iCal syncs. Mail syncs. Calendar doesn't. Bookmarks aren't syncing either: A recent add to Safari bookmarks that has synced elsewhere has not synced on iMac.
    On the iMac, when I go to iCloud in network settings all boxes are checked except Photo Stream, Back to My Mac, and Find My Mac. Account details show my email address, my name and Description "iCloud". The amount of GB available in iCloud storage, which matches what I see on my iPhone.
    iMac: OSX 10.8.5, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Thanks for the suggestion, Barney-15E. FYI I am not running both iCal and Calendar. Just Calendar. Me bad for using the old name and new name interchangeably.
    Tackling the iMac problem: In iCloud network preferences, I unchecked Safari then soon after rechecked it, and your suggestion appears to have worked: a bookmark recently added on one of the other devices appeared in the iMac Safari bookmarks. So far so good.
    Did the same thing with contacts. The iMac took a couple of hours to restore the sync setting, but it finally completed the task. The computer was laboring so I rebooted. Then I opened the contacts application and saw the spinning grey bars next to the "iCloud" heading above my list of contact groups. Some time later the spinning lines were replaced by an exclamation point. I clicked on it and got the message that the operation could not be completed because of a "CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1..". Subsequently, after much spinning of the line wheel, I have gotten either the exclamation point with the CoreDAV message or a lightning bolt icon. Whether exclamation point or lightning bolt, clicking on it provokes a long period of the spinning line wheel. And looking at some telltale contact discrepancies between the iMac and the other machines, nothing seems to have changed in terms of merging the discrepancies.
    Searching for the error message in the support community, I see this has happened to others, and they have had some success in following a list of steps starting with archiving the contacts, which I have done. Don't think I fully follow the other steps, nor am I sure they apply to my situation.

  • I just moved my mobile me account to the cloud.  I can no longer sync iCal with my iMac running os 10.5 (this is an old iMac which cannot upgrade to Lion).

    I just moved my Mobile Me account to an iCloud account and can no longer sync between iCloud and this older iMac. I can post changes to my iCal on my other Mac's running OS Lion, but when I do so they don't appear on this computer in iCal.    I can't upgrade this iMac to an OS greater than 10.5

    Yes,that is the sad case, the only option other than a new Mac is to view iCal via Web on the older Mac & manually add changes to your old iCal.

  • After upgrading to Imac updating Iphone and Ipad I can no longer sync in Itunes

  • Ipad no longer Syncs with my Imac

    Since updating my iPad 1 to software version 5 it will no longer sync with my 18 month old Imac running OS X 10.6.8. It starts trying to sync but after a couple of minutes it tells me that the "Sync session failed to Start". Any ideas. 

    Syncing of data such as Photo Stream, Calendars and Contacts (as opposed to music) using iTunes has been removed in Mavericks (the framework, SyncServices, which enables this has been removed). You are expected to sync your data using iCloud.
    Get Started with iCloud
    Set up on iOS
