IMac does not recognize digital video camera plugged into USB port

Hi Everyone,
I received a Kodak Zi8 digital video camera as a gift recently. I was told it was compatible with macs. When I plug the camera into the USB port of the mac it doesn't recognize that it is there. I read on one discussion board to turn the camera on and off if necessary. I have done so and it still doesn't recognize it. Does anyone have a solution they could recommend? Thanks in advance.

With the Zi8, you have to manually import the video into iMovie.
Launch iMovie. Go to File - Import Movies. Find your camera volume (it may be called KODAK or NONAME), navigate into the folder structure, find the DCIM folder and import the .mov files you find there.

  • Blackberry Desktop SW does not recognize the device is plugged into the USB

    Hi! Hope someone can help!  I have been syncing fine for years.  Then all of a sudden, my BB Desktop software says 'Connect Your Device".. but is is connected via the USB.  I click the link that says Troubleshoot your connection, and verified each one of the items.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled the BB Desktop Software, same issue.  The phone is charging fine and the sound is made each time I plug in and unplug the Bold 9900 to the USB to the computer.  I have tried all the differnt USB ports, and differnet cables.  I use WIndows 7 Professional, SP 1.
    Can anyone help??  Thank you!

    No. Never had this problem.
    What kind of an adapter are you using?  Your Apple supplied charger is multivoltage. All you need is to use a plug that will allow the charger to fit into the UK plug.

  • IPhoto 11 does not see thumb drive when inserted into USB Port, 9 did.

    I updated from iphoto 9 to 11 and updated to OSX, Previously when a usb thumb drive was inserted iphoto would see it, now irt does not, anyone have any hints for me?

    Well here's the first problem:
    The drive is in MS-DOS (FAT) format (a 500Gb Lacie).
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos. So, get the Library onto an appropriately formatted disk.
    If you're thinking of reformatting that disk, remember that doing so will erase it, and so make sure you back it up first.
    I would try open the Library from an appropriately formatted disk. If the issues persist them try the rebuild with Library Manager again.

  • Just reinstalled software and migrated data from Time Machine, now iMac does not recognize printer or camera

    Under the direction of Apple Support, I recently erased my iMac (Intel) hard drive, reinstalled and updated software and migrated data from an external hard drive via Time Machine.
    Now, after clicking on "PRINT", the print dialog box says "printing" then says "no pages found", and finally says "stopped"; and when I plug in my camera to download photos, the camera is not recognized.  Both printer and camera are connected via USB.
    I checked connections, verified printing and iPhoto preferences, turned printer off then on again, unplugged and replugged USB connections, and checked and followed directions in the Help menu.

    Thanks very much, I'd just tried rkaufmann87's suggestion and entered "This solved my question" when your suggestion popped up—you deserve a "This solved my question" too, though I saw only an option for "This helped me".
    Before I got rkaufmann87's suggestion, I repaired disk permissions and that resolved the camera problem.  Both of you nailed the solution.
    Thanks again!

  • IPnone 4s not recognized by Envy dv7-7333cl rnning Windows 8 when plugged into usb port

    Laptop does not recognize iPhone 4s when plugged into any of the 4 usb ports. All usb drivers are up to date. All Win 8 and HP udates have been installed and are current. Ports do recognize memory sticks so seem to be working. Is there a special driver needed for iPhone?
    This question was solved.

    Hey texasbootz,
    I'll have to get you to answer a few questions to understand what is going on exactly:
    When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it charge?
    When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it show up in device manager?
    Is iTunes installed?
    If it is not charged when plugged in, it is possible that the cable you are using isn't functioning properly, and you may need a replacement. Or, the iPhone itself is having some issues.
    In any case, since other devices are working in all of your USB ports, it is possible that its either a software issue (with the iPhone's drivers) or an issue with the iPhone case. You'll have to contact Apple for support on either of those issues. I'd suggest trying to re/install iTunes, see if that fixes it, then to contact Apple.
    Hope this helps!
    I am an HP employee.

  • InDesign does not recognize Digital Publishing.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in

    When I try to open a specific file, or just launch the program, InDesign will open a few seconds, freeze, and then crash. The first few times, I got the message:
    Startup Alert
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize Digital Publishing.InDesignPlgin as a valid plug-in. Please reinstall the Digital Publishing.InDesignPlugin plug-in and restart InDesign.
    Show this alert again? Y/N?
    I've tried searching for what this plug-in is, or searching other forums for a similar problem. No luck. I tried uninstalling InDesign CC and reinstalling. No luck. I tried downloading and installing something called "AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch-CC-27.0.0.dmg." No luck.
    Let me know if you know how I might fix this. Like I said, I am running InDesign CC on Mac OS X (version 10.8.4).

    Hey Hank,
    I tried both deleting my preferences the way you suggested, as well as doing another uninstall, and checking "Remove Preferences"... and neither worked. InDesign is still opening, freezing, and then crashing.
    I even found the Digital Publishing plugin, and tried removing it from the Plugsin folder. That made the error message go away (which started reappearing after I reinstalled), but it didn't do anything related opening or creating a file.
    Sigh.
    Any other ideas?

  • My imac does not recognize an external hard drive

    I have bought an USB external drive but my Imac does not recognize it,
    the external hard drive does not appear in the desktop neither disk utilities.
    characteristics of the disk
    toshiba, 1TB, USB 3.0
    thanks

    The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
    Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.

  • IMac does not recognize all photos in iPad photostream

    My new imac does not recognize all the pictures in my ipad photostream.  I have over 800 pix in my ipad photostream and imac will only recognize 300 when i have it plugged in to import.  Any ideas? 

    Nevermind, I just spoke with my wife who imported the pictures last night just from that event. She did not delete them after importing either. I guess next time this happens I will uncheck the box that says "Do not import duplicates" to troubleshoot.

  • TS2570 iMac does not recognize wifi keyboard and track pad... cursor stays in top left corner under apple ?...

    iMac does not recognize wifi keyboard and track pad... cursor stays in top left corner under apple ?...

    Phillip,
    I had this problem recently with a 3-year old Mac Pro intel, which was eventually replaced by Apple due to myriad other problems. When the frozen mouse happened, there was nothing I could do. Very frustrating to have the screen boot and the cursor is up there stuck, on the top left corner of the screen. Frozen. I called support several times. They were amazed. At one point they had me buy a cheap USB mouse (I was using a wireless mouse from Logitech and they thought there might be some kind of conflict). The USB mouse didn't work, either. Neither did an Apple mouse when I went out to buy one.
    I ended up driving 70 miles to take the Mac to an Apple Store. I think they reinstalled the (Leopard) system in some secret way, because when the mouse was frozen so was everything else and I couldn't open the disk drive to put the OSX disk in there.
    Why I'm here right now is that the same thing happened today with my NEW 3-month-old REPLACEMENT MAC PRO using its brand new wireless mouse, and I was hoping to find some insight. Again, a frozen cursor after the boot. Same top-left corner of the screen. Unlike you, when I click the mouse nothing happens -- no drop down.
    Luckily, when I hard-rebooted by holding the button in, the mouse cursor came back. This time. Now I am afraid to turn my computer off. Been there done that before. Anyone have suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

  • My iMac does not recognize external hard drive

    My iMac does not recognize my external hard drive.  Disk utility recognizes it and a test of the hard drive does not review any error.  I use the hard drive as a back up for the time machine.  This problem comes and goes.  It comes when I turn off and turn on the computer, with the hard drive attached.
    Please help.

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.
