External camera connected via usb to I mac

Can someone offer some help please, just purchased a 2 in 1 Camera Nest Box - Pc & Usb compatible , connected to I Mac 21.5 inch  I have OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 running, I downloaded CamWiz Webcam Recorder as software as directed and I now have the inbuilt web cam and the Cam Wiz Webcam both working , However the view on both is from the Camera on the Mac, how do I change between the in built camera and the external camera so I can see inside the Nest Box?

This is the FCPX forum. You probably want to talk to the people who made your box or post to the general hardware forum.
Hope you get it figured out.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • How to use an iPhoto library, stored on an external HD connected via USB to a Time Capsule ?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15", connected to a Time Capsule.
    My iPhoto library is stored on an external HD, connected to the Time Capsule via USB.
    I want to sync my photos with my iPhone (iOS 7.1)
    The issue is that iTunes can't display anything in the "photos" tab, within the iPhone section in iTunes.
    The search icon is turning, turning, even for hours, and then impossible to activate the sync between iPhoto and the iPhone.
    What I do not understand, is that it works very well when the same HD is connected directely to my MacBook via USB.
    Why is the sync impossible when the HD is connected to the Time Capsule ?
    I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
    So I would grant the feedback from users that have a similar configuration to mine.
    Thanks
    Stéphane

    I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
    Hmm, well you experience rather contradicts the forums, no? iPhoto is not designed for network access, end of story. If you try use it that way then things fail.
    See this article

    for more. Note the comment:
    “Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

  • Can't See Camera Connected via USB in CS2 Bridge

    I've connected a Canon PowerShot (as previously) via a USB port. When I open "My PC' in WinXP, I see the Canon along with my other drives and can view the jpeg image files. When I navigate to "My PC" in CS2 Bridge, I can see all drives except the Canon. No idea why this should be so. Help!

    Hi again, John.
    I'm feeling particularly dumb these days around PS. Hope you don't mind answering these Help Center questions (or directing me to a good resource).
    OK, so I clicked on PS Help. This resulted in an Adobe Help tab appearing in the bottom bar next to the Adobe PS tab. The screen launched by the Help tab looks exactly like the standard PS screen except all options at the top are greyed out. If I click on Flie/Edit?etc, I'm returned to the standard screen (non-greyed out).
    According to the official PS manual, I should see a Help Center window. I don't.
    I'm stumped. I've used PCs for years and never had a problem with Help features. PS is the first.

  • FCE V4 does not recognize Panasonic  SDR-H20 Camera connected via USB

    I've just got FCE V4 and connected it to my imac and started using FCE V4. FCE says it cant locate my video camera 'Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)'. I chose DV-NTSC in the Easy Setup because that was the default and I don't know what else to choose. I don't have a firewire cable, just the USB. The camera is recognized okay by iMovie. Does anyone know whether I need to:
    1. Get a firewire cable and connect that to the camcorder and imac
    2. Choose something other than DV-NTSC in 'Easy Setup'
    or if this camera SDR-H20 Video Camera does not work with FCE?
    Many thanks in advance
    Peg

    This camera will not work directly with FCE.
    FCE needs TAPE cameras shooting DV or HDV.
    The only other types of cameras that will work are those shooting AVCHD (High Definition).
    You will have to download the video files and convert them to DV with something like MPEG Streamclip:-

    I now have a shared drive shortcut on my desktop from the external drive I have hooked to the EA4500. Is there a way to share this folder to Android phones or Ipads? Looking to backup my phone data to the share (photos)

    Yes there is. You just have to have a software that will enable you to do the sharing from your computer to your phones or ipads. I've read about the Cisco Connect Cloud but I think it's still not available in the market. You can find more info from the cisco website about this application- homesupport.cisco.com.

  • HP Photosmart C3180 connected via USB hub

    I am using an HP C3180 printer connected via USB to a Mac PowerBook G4. When connected directly to the PowerBook G4 the printer works just fine. Trying to connect it via a Belkin 4 port USB (1.1) hub ----the printer is not seen when connected via the hub. Can the C3180 be connected via a hub ? Must it be USB 2.0 if it is a hub ?

    I have the HPC309a, but had the same problem with my airport a while back.
    If you have a password on your airport network and try to print, if this works and you want to put the password back on, you'll have to go through a setup process, that is a pain, but at least you'll know what the hold up is.
    Also: Check your firmware on your airport and see what version you have. The new 7.5.2 is giving people problems. You can downgrade firmware and try that. I am running 7.5.1 and all is well.
    Finally, I dumped all HP downloaded software (uninstalled it all, this did it in the end for me) as Apple has their own. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669

  • Can't see mounted volume of my Canon G9 when camera is connected via USB

    Why can't I see mounted volume of my Canon G9 (with 8GB SD card) when camera is connected via USB. I just want to be able to download the movie files. Aperture does this fine on my other Mac but on my MBP I use Lightroom and it does not automatically download additional files a la Aperture.
    Also can't read via Kensington Multi-SD reader but suspect that's because it is a little older and does not support the higher capacity SD cards

    Digital cameras have several modes in which they can connect to a computer.
    One mode is sometimes called "Mass Store". The camera acts like a USB disk or thumb drive. It appears in the Finder and files can be copied from it. This obviously is what you are looking for.
    Another common mode is called PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). In this mode, the camera will not appear in the Finder. You use special software to select and transfer the images. There are many applications available to do this: iPhoto, Aperture, Image Capture, the software provided by the camera's manufacturer.
    Consult your camera's manual to see if you can select the mode. My Nikon cameras can be set to either of the modes I mentioned. I think I have heard that Canon supports PTP only. I don't have a Canon, so I can't verify this. In that case you could use Image Capture, or Canon's software, or use a card reader. Card readers are usually faster than the camera anyway.

  • Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
    The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    If it works for you, great.
    You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:

    It is supported.....
    This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.
