IMovie 06 with Intel iMac not recognizing camera

I am using iMovie 06 and love it, however since I have been using it on my Intel iMac, iMovie will not recognize my Canon ZR 70. I thought that it was possibly not compatible, however at work we have an Intel iMac and are running the exact same version on iMovie and the camera is recognized. It is possible that when I installed iMovie 06 that I forgot to select recognize camera; is there a preference or something that I can toss to allow my iMovie to recognize the camera?

Eric,
I plugged the HD back in and went to Disk Utility....none of the buttons (Verify Disk, Repair Disk etc) are selectable, and the "Mount" button is also not clickable.
When this same hard drive is connected to the iBook, the name we've given it appears on the desktop and we can successfully use the device. On this iMac, the name doesn't appear, for example it shows
149.1 GB etc etc etc
Macintosh HD
409.4 GB Iomega
(name not shown)
Also, and what may be the problem, is that when I select the external HD and click "Info", it says S.M.A.R.T. Status is Not Supported. How can I get this to work?
Thanks

IMac not recognizing bluetooth nor USB mouse and keyboard

The iMac I use has suffered a pretty annoying problem. I typically use a wireless keyboard and magic mouse with the iMac (I could be wrong, but I believe these both use Bluetooth technology). First, the iMac stopped recognizing these. They kept losing connection last Friday and then suddenly stopped recognizing them at all. Yes, they both have full batteries and blink to show me they are on and searching for the iMac.
Second, I tried using a USB mouse and a USB keyboard to get into the iMac and fix the problem. But neither are recognized by the iMac as well. The mouse is a Dell model that has a red light on the bottom, and it glows red for less than a second when I plug it into the USB port before going dark again and not working. So, I can't get into the iMac to fix the problem.
I've read a few other things on the community boards. I restarted the iMac. I unplugged it completely for several minutes and held down the power button for fifteen seconds while the power was unplugged. I've tried multiple mice and keyboards, all to no effect.
Is the iMac not recognizing the USB keyboard/mouse because it's still searching for the bluetooth versions that it will no longer recognize? Is there a way to fix this without setting up an appointment with the geniuses?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. It started happening on my Late 2012 model iMac 21.5" after applying the latest update.
What I found was that nothing seemed to work connected directly to the iMac. However, if you attach an externally powered USB hub, then all devices attached to the hub will work. It seems as if the USB ports are still working, but without power.
After I was able to get my USB keyboard to work, I was able to zap the PRAM (hold command-option-P-R while powering on) and then magically everything was back to working again. Unfortunately, this was short lived as the problem has resufaced again for me today, but you could give it a try anyway.

IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine. Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock. Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you? If so, that won't work. The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection. All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

HT6114 Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?

Hi Mac,
Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?
Thanks in advance,

So to be clear, this issue occurs on any input with the Denon Receiver. Occurs from both HDMI out and MiniDisplay Port out. Goes away when we reinstall the OS and update it to 10.9.2. Comes back as soon as we update to 10.9.3.

Have you been able to use the Mac Mini directly attached to the plasma/LCD/projector with out going through the Denon AVR? Even with 10.9.3 installed?
I have a Pioneer AVR and I have the Mac attached via a HDMI to HDMI and all is working for me. Can your Denon do some upscaling? Some AVR, like my VSX-53 can change the scaling of the input video. Meaning if I still had my Apple TV 2 which outputs 720P only, can be upscaled in my AVR to 1080i or 1080P or even 24fps. Heck, I could even plug in an old style Red, White, Yellow cable and upscale it to 1080P and output it HDMI.
I am wondering if your Denon is able to do that and it might be set wrong. Check the owners manual for such settings. Even the plasma/LCD/project could be doing the upscaling too. So check that too.

New keyboard and intel iMac not working at startup with Leopard. Help?

Hi,
I'm using an Intel Core Duo 20" iMac and Apples' new keyboard. With Tiger, at first the keyboard wasn't recognized by the system during startup. After installing keyboard software update 1.2 everything worked fine.
Now I've installed Leopard and I'm back to where I was: the keyboard again isn't recognized at startup, so I'm forced to use the remote during startup to change to the windows partition , and I'm not able to reset PRAM settings.
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks

Start-up commands are NOT recognized on Core Duos - YET...
there is an expected firmware update in the near future
for all start-up commands - use the old keyboard
ALSO - holding down the menu button on your remote during start-up allows you to select a start-up drive while moving with the control function
+found that by accident...+
Thanks,

Fcpx not recognizing camera!

Fcpx is not recognizing my camera to import footage. I run a canon xha1 with minidv's. I bought a canon hv10 to transfer footage to fcpx on my imac 10.8.2 ,3.2 GHz, i3. Seems like ive tried everything. I am using a rocketfish 800 firewire ( 9 to 4 pin). Is there a sequence preset i have to change?? Its not working in imovie either.

If not try any other brand.

Using built-in iSight w/iMovie on the Intel iMac? Help!

I just got a new intel iMac- and the instructions for using the built-in iSight camera to record video into iMovie 6 are really difficult to find- and most seem to refer to either earlier versions-
Can anyone give me a quick walk through, or point me in the direction of instructions for the built-in iMac and iMovie 6? I'm having a heck of a time figuring it out.
Thanks.
I looked at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61929
& other applications aren't on, etc.-

Welcome, Sheila. For what I know about built-in iSight, see Built-in iSight ( Late 2005 -> ). There should be little problem using your internal iSight to record into iMovie 6 if you have the slider under the edit window set at the "camera" (import) icon rather than the "scissors" (edit) icon.
Your questions are more likely related to using iMovie. If the above link and iMovie > Help on your Mac do not get you going, try Apple's Mac 101, Lesson 13: iMovie HD tutorial. That should get you going.
If you need more help with iMovie 6, try searching or posting in the iMovie HD 6 Discussions area.

HP Color LaserJet Problems with intel iMac

Can anyone give me advice on the following:-
When I try to print from my wife's new intel iMac 20" to our HP Color LaserJet 2550L, it doesn't work and print center gives me the following error message ... "The process "hppostprocessing" terminated unexpectedly on signal 5" .
The printer is connected directly to the iMac via USB. It's not on a network.
I ran the HP Color LaserJet installer from the original CD that came with the printer and when that didn't work I downloaded another (latest) Color LaserJet installer (dated 2004) from the HP website. Still getting the same error message from PrintCenter.
When I look at the HP installer log, it appears that the installer tried several times without success to install plugins into the PPD folder (HD->Library->Printers->PPD).
After trying installation and checking out my PPD folder (above) there is nothing in it.
This printer has been (still) working fine with our older 20inch iMac.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Same happened with my photosnart. Here is part of the email from HP
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
I understand from your email that you are not able to print to your
photosmart 1218 printer from your new imac.
I believe you are correct when you mention the glitch between the new
Intel processor in the iMac.
I have checked the Apple website and noted the pre-installed printer
drivers that ship with this operating system, do NOT include drivers for
the Photosmart 1218 printer. There are Gimp print drivers available for
the Photosmart P1000 printer. They may work, but provide only basic
printer functionality. (see the Apple document listed below).
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057#hpdrivers
I understand that our engineers are investigating the driver issue with
the Intel-based Macs, however, I cannot provide you with an expected
date of resolution. Your printer was manufactured in 2000, and the most
recent drivers are from Aug 2005. These drivers were created before the
Intel based macs were available.

24" iMac not recognizing internal hard drive..

end of '07 iMac 24" 2.4GHz
I have been having problems with this iMac since day 1... I'm kind of fed up with it at this point BUT I would like to get it working at least.
PROBLEM: Yesterday I was working on the ol' iMac and I walked away, the computer fell asleep and when I got back to wake it up it seemed a little off. I restarted and thats when the magic happened. I got the question mark of death. Didn't think it was an issue since I've gotten it in the past. Usually I restart again, maybe reset PRAM, and its fine. Orrrr if that doesnt work I use the Snow Leopard disc or Disk Warrior and it'll work fine. Yesterdays problem was more unique.
Disc Utility, Disk Warrior, etc are not even recognizing the internal hard drive at all. Nothing. Like it doesn't even exist. When you try and set the start up disk, it's missing from the list. It doesn't make any noise, nothing. It worked fine 5 minutes before that.
Any ideas? or is it time for the ol' Apple repair shop? Could it be just the drive or something more serious? Luckily I have a time machine and everything should be backed up incase of the worst scenario.
Any help would be great. thanks.

It sounds like the drive has failed, you can try starting it with the install disc it came with and trying to repair the disk. The instructions for doing that are:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install or Restore disc.
2. Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
3. From the Apple menu, choose Disk Utility. Do this in the first screen of the Installer. Don't click 4. Continue. If you click Continue in a Mac OS X Installer version earlier than 10.2, you must restart from CD again.
5. Click the First Aid tab.
6. Click Repair Disk.
7. After repairing the disk, try to start from the Mac OS X hard disk.
If the drive still cannot be seen then make an appointment with an AASP.
Regards,
Roger

Has anyone got HK iSub v1. to work with Intel iMac?

System preferences does not see the device at all. Have tried different ports with and without USB hubs both through a Series 1.0 and Series 2.0 with no luck. Any suggestions? Or is it time to retire the thing? Pity though it sounds great and still looks good!
Any advice appreciated.
-RG

I had the same problem and got it straightened out at the local Genius Bar! Did you transfer your folders from a previous Mac on your Intel iMac? The prefs transferred over too and may be corrupt.
1) Create a new user and give it admin privledges
2) Under "Library", drag and drop the Audio (which may not be necessary) and Preference folders onto desktop.
Log out and restart.
Log back in as yourself and let it fly! By dragging the Prefs folder onto desktop, at restart your iMac rebuilds the Prefs and overwrites previous corrupted Prefs.
Now I need to figure out why my Sony CyberShot isn't recognized on my USBs! Maddening!

HP Deskjet 990cxi crippled with Intel iMac

Has any one been able to get the above printer to be fully operational with an Intel iMac?
I have lost the ability to print in draft and have not been able to get two sided printing to work although it should(under Layout) using the Gimp Driver.
I have two versions of the printer installed one with HP's Driver 2.7.1 and the other with Gimp's 5.0.0 beta
Have also sent an E-Mail to HP with no reply as yet.
My G4 Powerbook with HP's 2.7.1 driver prints just fine over my wireless network.

According to the above article that I linked, the latest HP driver for the Deskjet 990cxi would have been included with the Tiger 10.4.4 that came installed on your iMac Intel:
"All included printer drivers are installed by default with Mac OS X 10.4.4"
I have the HP Deskjet 6840 and it is on the same list using that same 3.3 driver. When I open Applications>Utilities>Printer Setup Utility and then select (highlight) my printer, wait a few seconds and the "Show Info" button above becomes bold so that I can click on it, the report shows Driver Version: 3.3
I did not install 3.3, it was just there in the OS when I unpacked and started up the iMac.
Also, this list from the HP website indicates that the latest 990cxi driver was built into the Tiger software. I did the same search as you at the HP website and see the same thing you found, that it states that the driver is 2.7.1, however, in looking at the date, it is a 2005 date, so that is old, pre-iMac Intel information that I'm sure HP will someday get around to updating. As an enormous company, selling just tons of quality printers, HP has to closely cooperate with Apple to see that Mac users have available, through Apple, the latest updated drivers and software at all times.

Intel imac not running Canon EOS Software?!

I have just bought a new intel imac G5 (20"). My Canon 'Camera Window' software won't launch when I connect my Canon EOS 5D. Image Browser will launch when clicked on, but cannot see my 5D, or get Camera Window to respond. Camera window is completely unresponsive, does not show any window at all, but needs to be forced to quit as it seems to be hanging invisibly in a state of semi-launched limbo! I am a pro photographer and need this to start working asap. I have been researching the net for 3 days for a solution, updated the Canon software with the latest versions, reinstalled the orig Canon CD's, updated again, repaired permissions etc etc. In a real state and need to know if this will run as it does on my old ibook G3. Is there any way to get it working on the new intel imac's?! By the way, I'm running 10.4.6. Help VERY MUCH appreciated! THANK YOU!

I received this reply today regarding this subject;
Thank you for writing to us regarding your Canon EOS 5D camera. I am
sorry to hear of your experience with the EOS Capture Software and your
Mac ProBook.
My name is Chris Easdon and I am the Contact Center Supervisor for
On-line Support here at Canon ITS. Your latest reply was escalated to me
for assistance.
Immediately upon receipt of your inquiry I contacted our Senior
Technical Support Engineer (TSE) to obtain further clarification on this
issue. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I just
received their response and want to share my findings with you.
According to the Senior TSE, "Yes, Canon USA as well as Canon Inc. are
aware of the problems connecting EOS Digital SLR's to Intel based Mac
computers like the customers Mac Book Pro. It is not a problem with Mac
OS 10.4.6 it is a problem with the Intel based Mac's since the cameras
work fine on OS 10.4.6 when running on a PowerPC based system. Canon
Inc. is working on an update and hopefully so is Apple, but at this time
we do not have any further information. Perhaps the customer should take
this up with Apple since it is their Intel based Mac implementation that
is causing the problem. A card reader is our only suggested workaround
at present."
So, as described by the TSE, your camera's software is fully compatible
with the MAC OS 10.4.6. Unfortunately, there are issues with the
configuration on your ProBook.
As the TSE indicated, using a card reader until a fix is developed would
be the best option available to you at this time.
I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. Please let me know if
I can be of any assistance to you.
