Help!  Computer will not recognize my camera at all!

Hello, everyone. This is my first post, and I am at a loss as to what to do.
I've had my camera for over a year, and I have never had any problems before uploading pictures from my camera to my PowerBook. However, all of the sudden, last night, my computer decided it didn't want to recognize that I had my camera connected! Both iPhoto 4.0.3 and Image Capture are unaware I have my camera connected. The camera I'm using is a Kodak EasyShare Z730.
Any suggestions as to what I should do? I've tried plugging it in a different USB port, and I've tried restarting the computer.
Any ideas would be wonderful!
Thanks in advance!
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Can you temporarily connect some other USB device to verify that your PowerBook's USB ports are in working order? Do you have another computer to which your camera can be connected to verify that a working USB connection is being made from the camera?
If we can somehow eliminate a hardware issue, then you can focus on software. Have you tried creating a new admin user account? If the new account recognizes your camera, it would narrow the problem down to something within your regular user account.

  • Labview will not recognize Sony camera connected via ethernet.

    I have a Sony camera, model XCG-SX97E, and have been trying to interface it using Labview. I was told that the easiest way to do so is using the NI Vision packadge. However it became quickly appearent that Labview will not recognize the camera at all. It is connected via ethernet directly to my computer. I have tried using NI MAX and Instument I/O assitant, neither of which displayed ethernet or the device as an option. I have never tried to interface a third party device before and am at a loss at how to proceed.  If it helps to know, my computer has only one ethernet port, which is taken up by the camera when connected, and it has an Intel 82479LM Gigabit ethernet network connection.

    After talking to tech support, I have dont the following: 
    1) Uninstalled Sony drivers
               - This allowed the camera to show up in MAX
    2) Created a homemade cross over cable because I do not own one
    3) Disabled my firewall
    Now, when I try to acquire an image in MAX, I get the error 0xBFF69031: "The system did not recieve test packet from the camera."
    I have tried all the suggestions listed on http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4D0ECFAA9AD9FF3E8625792600551A1E and have had no luck. 
    I am now going to try the solutions found in this thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/0xBFF69001-0xBFFF800B-errors-with-GigE-JAI-CV-A10GE/td-p/1742...

  • My computer will not recognize my Ipad as a music device, only as a camera

    My computer will not recognize my Ipad as a music device, only as a camera.  When I connect the cable from my Ipad to my computer, only options that appear are for camera and photos.  Thanks.

  • My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

    I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • My computer will not recognize my 3rd Gen iPod. What to do?

    This just started acting up today. I am able to plug in the ipod to the firewire cable and get it to charge but the computer will not recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes or on My Computer. I have updated iTunes, accessed the device manager to stop and start the ipod service program (as stated in a FAQ), i have restarted my computer. All of these have not solved my problem. Does anyone else have any suggestion? Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did you fix it. Thanks in advance for any help.

  • My computer will not recognize my Ipod

    I am having troublr with my Ipod it will not hold a charge and my computer will not recognize it how can I fix it

    Are you using the same cable that was bundled with the iPod?
    it will not hold a charge
    How old is the iPod?  All iPod batteries will dimish overtime and lose their ability to hold a charge at full capacity?
    Does the iPod not charge when you have it connected to your PC?

  • HT4623 how do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.

    How do I either: 1) turn off comptability feature, or 2) up grade the .exe to be compatable with the iphone  ios 6.0.1 software.  The computer will not recognize the phone.  I reinstalled itunes, but it still does not work.

    What are you talking about? There is no "compatibility feature" on the iPhone, and .exe files won't run on the phone.
    Please slow down and explain exactly what you're trying to do and what happens when you try.

  • TRIED EVERYTHING!!! computer will not recognize IPOD and no charging

    Tried changing cords; tried reinstalling all software; tried to determine if conflicting software; ran ipod out of power and my computer still will not recognize when I plug it in. Backlight initially lights up but ipod does not show up in device manager, itunes does not recognize it and ipod will not charge---ipod will charge on Bose speaker platform though....ANY SUGGESTIONS??????

    If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service so why not take advantage of the warranty?
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.
