Ibook not recognizing my digital camecorder

I shot a video for a class project that needs editing, so I hooked the camcorder up to the ibook, and it's not recognizing it, it doesn't know it's connected. what do I do ?

Generally you set iPhoto or Image Capture to launch when a camera is connected. What exactly do you want to happen?

Ibook not recognizing external HD

I have an ibook g4 i.42 ghz and a western digital external hard drive that is only about 2 years old. Recently my ibook began to refuse to start up while the hard drive is plugged in via firewire (the hard drive can operate via usb also, but i need those ports for other things and firewire is faster). This had been going on for a while, but just the other day when i plugged in my external my ibook isnt recognizing it at all, even though its plugged in and the power is clearly on. Sometimes it shows up but i cant access any of the files on it, and itunes freezes when i try to open it (my whole itunes library is on the external for the sake of my hdd). I'm wondering if my hard drive has just run its course and is dead (great!) or if my computer is acting up. Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Hey saturn,
.. western digital external hard drive that is only about 2 years old. .. my ibook began to refuse to start up while the hard drive is plugged in via firewire .. Sometimes it shows up but i cant access any of the files on it, and itunes freezes when i try to open it (my whole itunes library is on the external for the sake of my hdd). I'm wondering if my hard drive has just run its course and is dead (great!) or if my computer is acting up.
Oddly enough I have a WD external FireWire 400 hooked up to my dual 1.2 G4 tower here. It's a 2407A and it's power supply died about a year after I got it. I have it running w/ the supply from an old Mac SCSI external and it's been fine for the last few years but last week it disappeared from my desktop. I looked at the FireWire bus under system profiler and in red letters it said the bus couldn't be read. I immediately pulled all FireWire connections and the profiler went back to normal (nothing connected). I found that the WD was pulling power through the FireWire cable and probably causing that bus to crash. With all cables pulled I shut down the WD external and it's supply. I then restarted the WD external and once it lit up and initialized I plugged it back into the Mac and viola it was there like normal.
So this experience just adds to my negative feelings toward WD and their general wonkyness.
I'd back up your iTunes on another drive.
Also we were talking about this around here a while back and someone said that the average lifetime of a hard drive is 3 - 5 years however a certain percentage of new drives will fail within 3 months. I think the number was 3 - 5%.

Help Ibook not recognizing extra Ram!

Hi, please help, I have just fitted a 1GB ram to my ibook as recommended by the apple genius.
When I click on about this mac it still says 256ram.
Have I done anything wrong? Ive refitted it again and it still doesnt recognize it?
Is there something else I need to do?

bluebubble, Welcome to the discussion area!
Resetting the PRAM has nothing to do with it.
One or more of the following is true:
(1) The RAM isn't installed properly.
(2) The RAM isn't compatible with your iBook.
(3) The RAM is defective.
(4) The iBook's motherboard is defective and not recognizing the RAM.

IBook not recognizing optical drivve

Help! My optical drive quit.
I was at a family reunion, burning a couple of cd's, when it wouldn't mount a blank disc anymore. Now it does not recognize the drive. With System Profiler I get the following for the optical drive:
M@TRHHT@ CD-RW BW,8022:
Manufacturer: M@TRHHT@
Model: M@TRHHT@ CD-RW BW,8022
Revision: BA00
Serial Number:
Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Disc Burning: Not Supported
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal
Obviously Something has gone haywire. Does this mean a new drive or can I force it to rescan or something to get the right info from the drive.
Don

I have heard this is prevalent. My wife ibook 1.33 doesn't recognize the optical drive as evidenced in the System Profiler.
She took it to an Apple store while in warranty and they changed the hard drive?!
I knew that the communication between the motherboard and the optical disk was broken.
A friend has one and claims if you squeeze the case it will work. He put a C clamp on his to make it work.
My wife teaches at a college and she said that other students have the same issue.

IBook not recognizing AirPort Card

i have an iBook G4 800mhz, which i determined would need an AirPort Extreme Card to work with my Extreme Base Station. i was able to order this from an online source, and downloaded instructions from here for the installation, which seemed simple enough. i have now installed the card three times, but when i restart the computer, and open the AirPort utility, it says that I do not have the correct hardware. it also seems like when i reinstall my keyboard, that it does not exactly lie flat. any suggestions?

Are you sure you have a working Airport card?
Have you tried a guide from here?
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/
If you have installed the airport card right, the keyboard should be exact the same as before. Otherwhise you did something wrong.

IBook not recognizing iSight

Hi,
I recently inherited and iSight from a friend, but when I plug it into my iBook, the green light stays on for a few seconds, as if the iSight is starting up, and then it goes off.
However...when i start up with the iSight plugged in, the green light stays on permenantly, but it doesn't come up as a device one my Mac. Even when I look for it under the Firewire part of System Profiler, it doesn't come up.
Since it's not under warranty any more Apple wont replace it.
Has anyone heard of this problem? Is it my iSight, or my Firewire cable?
Help would be....Awesome!!

You're welcome, gavsten
The only way I know to tell which part is causing the problem is to do the tests.
If you cannot borrow or rent other equipment, you can buy it at any computer or electronics store.
If you do not have local access, the Apple "Store" link at the top of this page offers it via internet.
Please post back if you need more info before you can mark your question "Answered".

Ibook not recognizing RAM

ok, so my brothers laptop has the 256 MB built in, then it came with another 256 Stick in it, however, it said that the computer only had 256 (which was the built in), so we replaced the RAM stick with another 256, and it still isnt' recognizing it, still says just 256 built in... what is goin on here?

i know the RAM is good, becuase i bought a new stick for mine (identical laptops) and i gave him my old working one, i just bought a 512 instead of a 256 that it came with, so i am sure that the RAM is good, we don't have a bootable disc, cuz we got em from a school and all they gave us were the laptops and the power adapters. so ya, it isn't really worth it to replace the logic board in them, cuz one of em, the logic board was crap, and so we bought 4 and only have 3 working ones, so, if it is the logic board, consider this question answered.

IBook not recognizing battery

My ibook 366 indigo doesnt recognizes its battery, even when its plugged in, I have Mac os 10.3 and updating it to Mac os 10.3.9. Any ideas?

All rechargeable batteries have a finite life and just need careful disposal once they no longer hold any charge (contact your local council about battery disposal).
I believe that if you buy a battery on eBay the chances are that it'll be the same age and use as the one you have now and hence a con. Go to a reputable seller like OWC.
kind regards

[solved] Digital Camera not recognized in device-manager

My digital camera "Canon Powershot SX120 is" is not recognized by the devicemanager. I have read Digital Cameras.
$ groups
wheel storage users printadmin
The "camera"-Group isn't needed anymore and this group doesn't exist on my system.
The Powershot SX 120 has a MTP/PTP connection mode (as the manual says). But:
# mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
gphoto succeed:
$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Modell Port
Canon PowerShot SX120 IS usb:002,019
A gphoto --summary could be found here
There is no udev-rule for this camera. If i create one while copying a rule from a similar camera from /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, and store it into /etc/udev/rules.d/69-canon.rules, the device-manager shows up. My udev-rule:
# Canon PowerShot SX120AX (PTP/MTP mode)
ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="31e0", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
The device-manager shows me only the option to open with a file-manager. Doing so will result in an error:
The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/ do not exist.
With my udev-rule:
solid-hardware listen
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)
Listening to add/remove events:
Device Added:
udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
Without the active udev-rule, "solid-hardware listen" produces nothing, but
udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent
KERNEL[5077.662572] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8 (usb)

UDEV [5077.693035] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0 (usb)
Don't know what to do ... is a udev-rule necessary to bring up the message from device-manger? Or is the Camera not recognized as a mtp-device (the Camera has no such settings)? How could i figure it out?
With Digikam i could import Fotos, but i would do so with gwenview. I've tried to check it out with gwenview_importer:
$ gwenview_importer --udi '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
(don't care about the different udi, i took this example from a former try) but i don't know, how to find out where the "source folder" is ...

I have solved this by making an extra udev-rule for my camera. See my adventure on forum.kde.org for details

IBook G3 hard drive not recognized

I have a challenge for anyone. I have a ibook 366(clamshell) that is not recognizing the hd. It was working wonderfully one night I shut it down and the next day I get the flashing question mark. I've tried all of the normal stuff: zap pram, reset nvram tried to use command and s but it didn't go to the programmers screen and all the such. I can boot from a cd but none of the utilities see the hd. I have taken the hd out and connected it to a usb to ide cable that allows me to use it as an external drive and it is recognized without any problem on all of the other macs I connect it to and even on a pc (I know I said the bad word.)Does anyone have any clue what could be the issue. Every thing else seems to work fine. Just the hd is not being recognized. I even put in a different hd. I even formatted the drive using one of my macs that I only have 9.2.2 on and installed a os on it and it still didn't work. The hard drive worked fine and the os with all of its components seemed to be fine. I know it's an older system but it's something that I can let the kids play on and not be concerned with losing any of my files.
I appreciate any help
