Forgot to eject my camera... now it won't find it

like the title says... i had my Digital Camera plugged into my computer and i didn't eject it.I just shut it off by accident. I got the warning from my computer to not do that and now when i plug my camera into my computer, the camera doesn't detect my computer and my computer doesn't detect my camera. So.. i don't know what to do. I am not that tech savvy but i want to get this fixed. can anyone help? thanks in advance

Probably won't help, but you could try- - in iPhoto menu choose Preferences, then General. Near the bottom it says "Connecting camera opens." Since it has already worked before it probably still says iPhoto, but you could try selecting something else and then select iPhoto again to reset it. And if connecting your camera doesn't automatically start a download, be sure the camera isn't simply listed in the left most pane in the main iPhoto window, but not doing anything. If so, click on it.

  • HT1369 Since we updated our Itunes to 10.7 we've had nothing but problems, first we lost all our music (luckily I was able to recover it) but now it won't find my phone when I plug it in. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Has anyone out there been having any problems with Itunes since updating Itunes.  First it lost all our music (which I recovered), now it won't find my phone when I plug it in. 

    I hate to say it, but Apple is literally infamous for teething problems on new releases. It's usually fixed in two days, though that fix usually gets fixed, too, so sometimes a week, but does means downloading new updates.
    My (experienced) advice? Wait a couple of days, check for updates, try again. Pray (or whatever works for you) that you don't have the "lost Apple Device Driver" problem several people are having.
    I keep an older version of iTunes installer on a backup drive (or just in my downloads folder), just for such events. Worst-case, I've always been able to uninstall iTunes (including driver and user info), then install my old version of iTunes and roll on. Yes, my iTunes folder is on an external hard drive, so I can move it around to my different computers, and then keep a backup of that hard drive on a second external hard drive. Saves me a ton of headaches.

  • How to eject my camera when i can't find an icon for it

    I want to eject my camera from my macbook pro but I can't find an icon on my dock, or in the computor section of my finder.  I therefore don't know how to eject it since i can't drag it into the trash or select eject from the list of options since there is no icon that i can find of my camera on there!  Does anyone know how i can safely eject it?  I also keep on putting memory cards into my macbook pro and then taking them out without ejecting them - is that a bad idea?  If so then I don't know how to eject them either since i can't find them on my computor either!
    My ipod doesn't come up as an icon on my dock either, it just comes up in itunes - is there some way of causing icons to pop up on the dock?
    Sorry - a lot of questions there! It's a new laptop!
    Thanks

  • Filled the hard drive, now it won't find hardrive on start.

    Was recording video straight to Imac hard-drive. Was a bit careless in watching space being taken up and in the middle of day two for auditions my computer shuts down, "BLACKOUT". Power back on the thing with the feeling I filled the HD space. I was down to the megabytes . Ever-since the computer has run SUPER Slow at processing anything for a week now.
    Note:
    Vital Data on Hardrive I need so can't just wipe it clean.
    Attempt 1: Disk repair with OS Disc. There was an inconsistency in file count and repair was sucessful. But computer runs really slow and actually doesn't even start anymore, shows folder with question mark. #fail
    Attempt 2: TARGET DISK MODE Tried copying the files to another mac with Imac in target disk mode but transfer is speed ridiculous. I'm talking about moving 254megabytes and it taking over 15minutes and gets stuck at 10megabytes. #fail
    Attempt 3: Maybe its just overheating due to whatever. Dropped some fans in the area to keep it even cooler. Circulating the hot air away and introducing the rooms AC, lol #fail
    Need help!! Before I bring this thing to be looked at anyone has a solution? Figured I filled the harddrive and messed up vital space the computer needs to operate with.

    Macs need a minimum of 10-15% of the HD space left available to run well, considering you have managed to fill yours up you can either suffer through the offloading some files to an external HD or start over. If you have backed up, then I'd recommend doing an erase and install then restoring from your backup. Then you can start with a clean slate and manage you space better, if you haven't been backing in up and your system is so full you cannot offload files I'm afraid you're out of luck and are in the process of learning a tough lesson.

  • I forgot to eject camera before disconnecting, and  somehow left five file folders on the desktop that have the same name as the device, can't open, delete,eject, or move.

    Forgot to eject device(camera) before diconnect, now have five file folders on desktop(same name as camera) which cannot be opened, moved, ejected or deleted.

    Where do you stand now regarding those folders? Are the photos still on the camera's memory card ( the SD card or Compact Flash)? If so, you could reconnect the camera and use your usual transfer software to perform the action once again. Do you transfer the photos straight to iPhoto? Use Image Capture? The camera's bundled software? We can start the hunt for the files by doing a Spotlight search by typing in the name of the folders (or even just the camera) to see what is already on the internal drive after the unsuccessful disconnect.

  • Safari stops working.  Mail won't work with Safari running.  Now iTunes can't find my phone.  If I restart and do one thing at a time it helps but still not reliable.  All software on my iMac is up to date.

    I have a new iMac and iPhone 4.0.  All software is up to date and I have installed the free beta version of Mountain Lion which let me use iChat on my computer.  Safari intermittently stops working.  Mail won't access my mailboxes if Safari is running.  Now iTunes won't find my iPhone when it's locked and in a dock charging.  If I restart I can do 1 thing at a time, but I can't have Safari running and use Mail.  I've emptied my cache, checked my passwords.  It's none of that.  By process of elimination, there is some kind of conflict between using multiple applications on the Internet at the same time.  Sometimes after I've gone to several Internet sites Safari will stop working properly even though all other applications have been "quit".

    Oops. You installed the beta Mountain Lion on your main hard disk? Usually most people install it on a secondary or external hard drive. Your situation should actually be posted on the Developer web site for Moutnain Lion and not here. All I can suggest here is to run repair permissions and restart. Sorry. 

  • Forgot to eject LaCie HD - won't mount now - can it be fixed?

    Through my own stupidity, I forgot to eject my LaCie external HD before I powered off the LaCie (it was late and I was tired). Now it won't mount on my iMac G5. I tried to repair it using Tiger's disk utility but to no avail. I just get an "exit error" message. Does anyone know if repairing the LaCie thru Tiger's disk utility would fix it? I'm afraid to try. Or is the LaCie now a lost cause?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Eugene,
    Did the same a while ago. My LaCie was dead.
    Using Data Rescue X (from Prosoft I believe) was quite helpfull. You can retrieve data from your 'dead' LaCie and fix the drive once your valuable data is rescued...

    Perhaps the 'testdrive' is all you need...
    Good luck!

  • My USB CF Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore. It was last week and worked fine to get pictures from my camera. Now it won't mount. I have tried another card reader and the same problem exists. Also tried different cards..

    Hi
    My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
    Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
    I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
    I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
    I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac. 
    I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
    I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
    Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
    If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
    Buy a PC
    Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
    Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
    Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
    Many thanks in advance!

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    when I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

  • I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

  • Unplugged LaCie w/o ejecting, now it won't remount

    Let me say right off that I know it's not good to unplug a FW drive w/o enjecting, however the Finder crashed on my computer and wasnt' able to eject it, rather I had to hold down the power button in order for it to turn off.
    So, now it won't mount... any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hello Again! That's odd as I've never seen a firewire ext drive without one but anyway does it have it's own power supply? If so unplug the a/c to it when trying the procedure. If it doesn't have it's own power supply it must be bus powered so removing anything else on the bus might help.Tom
