My Mac book Air (late 2010) does not detect built-in camera, can anyone help?

Is the apple tv on the latest firmware? and also make sure it is on (white light is on). I know that sounds stupid, but it will go to sleep if you let it sit long enough and i have seen many cases where you cannot acces it via airplay if it is asleep.

IChat Does Not Activate iMac's Camera and Behaving Strangely

Hello,
I opened up iChat this morning in an effort to place a video call with my father across the country. We've done this plenty of times without issue. We both own new 27" iMacs with built in iSight cameras and have fast internet connections. All software and the OS is up to date. Today, however, we could not connect and it became evident that my iChat application was the cause of the problem. Repeated attempts to initiate video calls resulted in nothing. Clicking on the video chat icon yielded nothing.
When I open up iChat's preferences, nothing happens either. By selecting it a second time, I eventually get the preferences window to open up with a message: "Select a button first!" I can select the General tab, as well as Accounts, Messages, and Alerts. However, when I click on the Audio/Video tab, nothing happens. The application behaves like I didn't click anything and keeps the previously selected preferences tab active.
To investigate the issue further, I opened up another Apple camera app: Photo Booth. Oddly, Photo Booth immediately crashes. Among other things, the report generated says the following: "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+[ compositionWithFile:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x7fff70d91b08'"
When I open up Skype, the camera is recognized and powered on (green LED turns on) and I can have video conversations. Skype works great. So it appears Apple based applications utilizing the built in camera are having issues. Actually, I just tested video recording within Quicktime Player without issue.
Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? I realize my father and I can use Skype to make our video call, but it's the screen sharing functionality built into iChat that we need to use. And for whatever reason, this functionality also does not work within iChat. Selecting the option "Share screen with..." results in nothing- as if I didn't select it. It's very frustrating not to all least get an error.
Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
That is a different one.
Never seen or heard of that.
Summary so I can list what I understand.
Clicking your Own video icon next to your Buddy pic show nothing.
The Audio/Video section of the iChat Preferences is not available.
Clicking a Buddy's Video icon also produces nothing.
Can you say where you saw this ?
"Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x7fff70d91b08'"
Was it in Console and did it have any info on what app or framework was involved ?
This would seem to implicate the com.apple.ichat.plist
(there used to be an Error that would stop the Preferences appearing at all - related to the fact iChat windows never have the top right oblong white Hide/Reveal Tool Bar option button).
However iChat also has a "Software camera" as it is called that does the bit about doing the Screen Sharing.
iChat also uses two files (in this case) about Video production.
One I am sure about (a USB digitiser) and a second (ApplePixelSomething) that I am not so sure about.
I believe the first makes a UVC complaint camera look like a DV input to iChat and Photo Booth.
If you are at 10.6.6 this run this Combo Version of the Installer over the tops of what you have.
The 10.6.7 one is here
Hopefully this will correct any faults with these files (If they have been updated since the OS came out).
You could try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist
This is found in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
Drag it to the Trash and restart iChat if open.
This will recreate the .plist from default held in the iChat app.
It does remove all the settings you have made in the iChat Preferences:-
Font
Font Colour
Background to IM colour
Saved Transcripts
and so on

Computer does not detect my digital camera

I have a Panasonic digital camera and when I plug it into my mac via firewire cable, the image capture says that no devices are detected.
I plugged in my digital camera (Canon Powershot A60) and it was fine.
Help!
It is important that that I have the ability to put video clips into my computer.

Ditto to Deborah, you should try another FW device, like an iPod for example (one who can connect trough FW, that is).
Now, I don't think the Image Capture is able to capture video from a digital videocamera. I think it must be done trough iMovie or QT. In the case of a camcorder, most certainly trough iMovie.
I've been searching the iBook PDF manual and found that when the iBook "senses" a FireWire device for wich it has not a driver, it prompts you to install it or to download it from the internet. So if nothing happens when you connect your DV camera to the FW port, it may be because it is broken.
What is broken?, you ask, one of three things (or the three of them): The FW port in the iBook, the FW cable, or the FW port in the camera. Therefore, you need to check your iBook with another FW peripheral, try another cable, and try your camera with another computer....

WVC210 Device manger does not detect camera driver

Hi, Iam doing a java application project which captures a vedio from linksys wvc210 network camera, the problem is the device manager does not detect the camera as one of the imaging devices or as any, and so the jmf registry editor does not also detect the camera in which i am stuck on how to make java detect it and work on it which is impossible without being detected with the jmf registry so i need windows first to detect it at the device manager which will lead jmf registry editor to also detect it.
note that: the camera installation worked properly and i can access it normally. by the way iam using windows vista.
any help please...

First of all, thanks for ur reply, i will state the problem again: iam doing a java api application using the java media framework (JMF), the application goal is to capture a vedio from the ip camera, the application is done and works with my web cam which is detected by the java capture device manager, on the other hand the capture device manager does not detect the ip camera as one of the captured device in which i can't run my application on it. So the easiet way is to make windows detect it as one of the devices at the device manager so java capture device manager can detect it and my application will work immediatly. any suggestions ?

Photo importer (12.0) does not detect my Android phone (OS X Mavericks) over USB

I am running Photoshop Elements 12.0 on OS X Mavericks. When I do, "File > Get Photos and Videos > From Camera or Card Reader", but it does not detect my Android device (Nexus 4, 4.2.2). On the Android side, I switch between Media Device (MTP) and Camera (PTP), refreshing the list, to no avail. OS X's Image Capture sees the files; Android's File Transfer utility does, too. I've tried multiple USB ports, but that doesn't help.
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance.

That is what I had to do, but I should be able to skip that extra step, especially because I like Photoshop Element's ability to verify the pictures and delete them directly from the source. If this really isn't possible directly from Photoshop Elements, then this issue is a fairly major oversight.

Lightroom 5 does not detect my camera, a Nikon D600, in tethered capture. Can someone assist?

Lightroom 5 does not detect my Nikon D600 in tethered capture. I have tried turning the camera off then on and also turned the computer off then on. I am using windows 7. Anyone have any ideas?

I am having the same problem with both my D610 and my D800. Both worked fine in the past. In both cases, I can import files from the camera via 'Import', so I know the USB connection to the computer is fine, but Neither camera is detected during tether.

Just update iTunes to 10.6.0.40. Now does not detect my iPhone. Tried restart, different USB port. Now what?

Just updated iTunes to 10.6.0.40. Now it does not detect my iPhone (prompt says reconnect, could not detect). Tried restarting and different USB port. What next asside from system restore with my Windows 7.Cannot Sync or get photos. Have 3Gs with os4.

I removed iTunes completely, then reinstalled. Still not identifying phone. When iPhone connected, prompt says "iPhone detected, could not be identified properly. Unplug and try again." Still not working.
Tried by installing previous version of iTunes (10.5.0.142) which did worked. Would not open iTunes because it had been previously installed with a newer version.
Sucessfully reinstalled ver 10.6.0.40 again. Then tried again by removing iTunes, iCloud and QuickTime. Reinstalled iTunes 10.6.0.40 and same problem, detected iPhone but could not identify properly. What next?

Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Some gotchas:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

My imovie does not detect my Panasonic NV GS 35 video camera.

Hi,
I have recently bought an apple computer and tried to import video on imovie but imovie did not detect my video camera. i can upload video on my windows xp laptop so i know that all is ok with the camera and i can upload photos and video using my wife's digital photo camera so i know that other hardware is detected by my computer. I have also the correct fire wire cables which I bought from an apple dealer, who could not help me with this problem either.
Do i need different drivers for an apple computer as the only ones that came with the panasonic camera are for windows? and if so where do i get it as i looked on the net unsuccessfully.
Thanks

Photo Downloader does not detect Thunderbolt connection. Help!

I am using Bridge CS5.1 on MacBook OSX 10.8.3. I bought a Seagate Thunderbolt Adapter which works with 2.5" eSATA hard drives (Seagate Backup Plus). Instead of connecting a 2.5" eSATA to this Thunderbolt Adapter to my Mac, I am doubling this thunderbolt connection as a CF card reader by swapping the eSATA portable drive with a CF to eSATA Adapter instead. Photo Downloader does not detect anything connected through thunderbolt!?
When the CF card or portable drive is connected via the TB adapter, it appears in Bridge and Finder. The Canon's Image Browser (Memory Card Utility) detects only the CF card (not the portable drive) as a Camera and downloads the images from the CF card via the thunderbolt adapter with no issues. I would prefer Bridge to download the images due how the folder names are created by Bridge. (I have been using Bridge for few years now and dont want to change the naming convention. Can't seem to find a way for Canon to name it exactly the same as Bridge. It does YYYY_MM_DD amd I cant get rid of the underscores in Canon's software)
How can I get Photo Downloader (File: Get Photos from Camera...) on Bridge CS5.1 to detect the Thunderbolt connection as a Camera?
Excuse my messy desk, here's a pic of the set up with the CF card plugged into the CF to eSATA adapter : and onto the Seagate TB Adapter. and the TB cable goes into the Mac

It works perfectly well. My issue is getting Adobe Bridge 5.1 to recognise the CF card via thunderbolt in photo downloader.
Despite having bought a MacPro just a few months ago I still have no Thunderbolt connection so i can't confirm this.
I do know Photodownloader has not changed a bit since it was presented long time ago and definitively needs a lot of improvement.
It is very possible that Photodownloader is not capable detecting thunderbolt connections and Canon software doing so does almost proof APDL does not do so.
You can try to dive in the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go and press option to reveal it) and in the folder preferences find and delete the Photodownloader plist file manual.
restart photodownloader and try again.
The other option is to use a USB 3.0 or Firewire (both also pretty fast).
The third option is to use Bridge itself for renaming the files you imported manual. Using the sort order creation date and batch rename use the option for shot date (yymmdd-number or other info) and either organize with stacks or create folders.
There is also a nice app (not free but cheap called 'big mean folder machine" from the same team that offers 'A better finder rename'.
Both offer plenty of options that makes life easier, such as producing folders with specific naming and order in no time

N800 does not connect to USB for OS update

Hi,
I am trying to update my N800 to use the latest OS2008. I already have the file and also the update wizard in my Windows XP SP2. I used this same computer to update this device from the factory Os to OS2008 (Chinook, one of the first releases).
But now it doesnt work anymore. I hold the "swap" buttong and turn the device on, connected to my USB port. The USB logo is displayed on the top right corner but the Wizard does not detect my N800. It searches and eventually it gives up.
The N800 remains in that USB logo mode until I disconnect the USB cable from the computer.
Are there any known issues with the update process? One thing that I am doing different is that I am using my camera USB cable. I dont think this should be an issue though.
Thank you for any help.

I tried the update process with 2 different N800s. No success. I also contacted tech support and they said to reinstall the Update Wizard... I did it even tough I was sure it wouldnt help. No success.
There is something wrong with this update process and we will need to find a different way of doing it.
Anyone with a different idea? Any suggestion is appreciated.

Aperture does not detect CF Card

I am using Aperture 2 with my Canon EOS 30D. I used 2GB Sandisk CF cards and have had no issues ever. Recently I bought a 4GB and 16GB CF card and for some reason Aperture/Mac does not detect these cards. When I connect my camera via USB to my macbook, and click import, it does not show my Canon as a drive available to choose pics from. With my 2GB card it does.
Any ideas?

Does the card show up in the Finder? I suspect this isn't an Aperture issue.

Lumia 1020 not detected via USB on Windows 7 PCs

Hello - I hope you can help.
My new Lumia 1020 is not detected on any of 3 Windows 7 PCs I have access to. When plugged in the phone will begin to charge but the PC does not detect the phone at all - it doesn't appear under device manager in any guise (no portable devices or unrecognised devices).
OS 8.0.10517.150
Windows 7 64 and 32 bit
I have follwed advice on similar threads and been through the nokiatechsupport.co.uk troubleshooter on the issue which took me through the following:
Install Windows Phone app for Desktop
I just get the 'connect your phone' screen despite restarts of both phone and PC. Also tried switching the phone off and then plugging in = same result.
Factory Rest
Same result - phone is not detected, nothing appears in device manager.
I've also tried installing the Nokia software recovery tool but that doesn't see the phone either.
Have tried different USB ports on all PCs.
Any help much appreciated, otherwise next step is talking to my network support I guess?
Thanks
Iain
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the USB cable that came with the phone. Have you always done this?
A device that is under lock screen may not be detected and drivers will not load.
The desktop phone sync program provides nothing that will help the phone be detected.
The phone has to be seen by the PC and identified. When this happens the drivers are downloaded from the internet for the phone. Having the drivers does no good if the phone is not identified by the PC.
If you have access to other Win7 or 8 PC's try connecting to them. If you take it to anybody that is the first thing they will do. This helps determine if it is the phone or the PC.
If you take somewhere use Nokia Care.
One thing I saw today, user having the same problem. On the phone, start an app that connects to the internet, like a news app. Then connect the phone to the PC.
There are phones that won't connect.
You should see it in windows explorer. It should install in 'portable devices' in the device manager.

Zen Micro 5gb not detected w/ USB ca

i just got my new micro and have had no luck getting the usb cable to work.
) i installed all of the spyware-bloated software required to copy music over to the player and found that none of them can detect it. not even the removable disk mode works. (and yes my usb port works - i even tested 2 other computers to see if they would pick it up)
2) after wasting hours of my time going through the forums and reading anything even remotely related to Zen Micro usb problems i finally decided to go into recovery mode and "Reload Firmware."
3) after plugging the player back in to see if it will be recognized by windows and then reload the firmware, it continues to go undetected. (i ran the "Creative Zen Micro Firmware update" with the micro connected through USB and it does not detect it.)
*) concerning the quote about the removable dri've feature
"If you are using a shared computer in school or at the office, and installing Zen Media Explorer is not possible, you can still transfer data files. However, you must enable Zen Micro?s Removable Disk mode when you do this."
since you do not even need any extra software to use the removable disk feature, besides an OS like WinXP, i'm assuming that either the player or the usb cable it came with is busted. in either case i'm planning to get it exchanged for a set that works.
am i the only one who's run into this problem? any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by assman on 09-2-2005 0:50 PM

It would be nice, but they don't have any facility for remote working (I'd have to work from Brazil, my current location). Aside from issues of them actually having vacancies etc. Maybe if everyone sends an email to Sim Wong Hoo.... I'd very much like a job, as getting one here in Brazil is proving impossible for a Gringo like me
Anyway, I hope you get your player replaced ASAP and can get on with the business of listening to music!
