IMovie 3.0.3 and iSight - but no camera detected

So, I have read some posts on trouble shooting getting a camera detected, but to no avail.
Setup:
-G5 Dual 2.7
-running 10.4.2
-have iMovie 3.0.3
-have iSight
other apps see and use the camera just fine (QuickTime, iChat, Grab Photo) - but iMovie does not....
any ideas?

okay -
So, I moved my iMovie, iMovie HD, iMovie prefs and the iMovie Receipts to another drive and archived them (zipped them into a folder to be safe). Then, I tossed all of those originals from the original drive into the trash and trashed them.
I then went to the iLife '05 disk and went to install iMovie HD and this time it was NOT grayed out with the "skip" next to it. So, I installed just that off the iLife '05 CD.
So, it installed it this time.... BUT it still crashes and quits unexpectdly when I try to open it???
any other ideas?
FWIW - all 4 other iLife items work (iPhoto, iDVD, iTunes, GarageBand) - iMovie HD does not open..

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Lightroom 4 with Windows 8 and Nikon D3, no camera detected

I updated my windows 7 to Windows 8 and now as I try to use Tethered Capture in Lightroom with my Nikon D3 camera, there's it that No camera detected. In other computer where's Windows 7 it works very fine. I can operate my camera from computer and, all my pictures appears in Lightroom, as it shoud do. But, no with that other computer, where I have Windows 8. Can anyone has some information what should be done? Or, should I just instal Windows 7 again?
I am very pleased for answers that could help me. Thanks in advanced.

I'll take that bet, Butch - I've been in the Capture One club for a long time, and they do take their time with stuff like this.
Bear in mind too that you only get any tethering support if you use the $299 Capture One Pro - the stripped-down (at $99, closer to Lr's price of $149) Capture One Express has no tethering support whatsoever.
And with either Cap One product, you've got to put your hand in your pocket again for a DAM solution.
You lose! ... as of Jul 17, 2012 ...

Keep in mind my reference to C1 was not that it was a direct competior or exact match to Lightroom ... or Aperture for that matter ... but all three apps claim to offer support for tethering ... and thus far Adobe has failed to make the effort and produce an update ...
At this point in time Apple supports tethering for 60 camera and C1 supports more than that spanning five different brands ...
I take no pleasure in gloating I was right on this wager ... rather I am quite disappointed that Adobe (as well as several of my fellow Lightroom users) feel tethering is too unimportant to maintain ... yet Apple (and Phase One) didn't feel my needs were quite so insignificant ...

All my bookmarks were lost and i tried going to library and restoring but nothing came up! help!

i did what the help section said about trying to restore old sessions but it said error.

Thank you very much for your help.
What worked for me was to close down Firefox, delete the "places.sqlite" file and restart Firefox. My bookmarks instantly came back. This file is inside the "application data" folder which is a hidden folder. You must unhide the "application data" folder first in order to delete the "places sqlite" file using windows explorer.
There may be an easier way but this worked for me.
Thanks again

TS3147 installed Canon MF4570dw multifunction printer, it prints and copies but scanner not detected. How do you install scanning function?

Downloaded drivers installed MF4500w series. But software and OS does not setect scan function

First of all you need to set the MF scan components online. Press the Scan button and then select Remote.
Then on the Mac, open the MF Toolbox software, which will have been installed when you downloaded and installed the ScanGear v1.51 software, and select one of the buttons like Save. From the next window that appears, change the Original Placement menu to ADF or Platen - depending on where you have loaded the paper - and then press the Scan button. This action should scan the document to your Mac.

Projects for iChat and iSight

We love having iChat and iSight, but need projects to use in the classroom. We work with elementary, middle and high school students. Any suggestions?

Hello Susan and welcome to discussions,
Your question is a great one. Sadly its not a question for these forums.
See under Terms & Conditions as for why.
That said, I have a couple of ideas that may be of some use. I can be contacted via my profile.

I converted a chart to excel and word but it comes out as illegible gibberish that I cannot use. If this is the best I can get from the converter, I need a refund.

Installed Leopard and macbook internal web cam not working

Istalled Leopard a few days ago and my internal cam (macbook) went dead as soon as it was installed. I have been reviewing discussions across the mac site and tried all of the following.
Updated to 10.5.1 and then 1.1, but to no avail. I also carried out all the other resets (battery out - held power button for 5 secs) and command / option P and R - but still not detecting the camera.
Please don't tell me it is a hardware problem as it was working a few hours before with Tiger and too many people seem to have the same problem.
I would be really grateful for any other ideas? ; o (

Did you do an upgrade? If so I would make a clone of your hard drive and do a erase and install. If that does not work then bring it in to the apple store to see if they can help.

iMovie on your Mac has nothing to do with iCloud storage. Download and use Find Any File to search for your iMovie project. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, packages and system folders. If there a file with your file name on it anywhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.
Do you have Time Machine enabled backing up to an external HD? This situation is exactly what TM is good at. It makes hourly backups so you can go back to find and restore the missing file. All HDs crash at some time or another and having a good backup strategy is the only protection against that.

Hi...
Delete both apps using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
That will delete the apps and all associated files.
Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch

I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch. It says the movie was not copied because it cannot be played on this iPod. My iPod was bought in 2009 and has the latest iOS 4.2.1. I also tried sharing in all the different resolutions but none of them worked.
What should I do?

iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
You have a 2G iPod and the can play/sync only SD videos.
If necessary use a converter app to convert to compatible format. I use the free HandBrake

Hi

I can import my first clip to the video library, but not the second clip. I tried dragging-dropping and using the "E" key, but only the first clip will show up in the library. I use IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5. with no problems until yesterday.

I can drag my first clip from the New Event window into the Project Library, but not the second. I can highlight the second clip in the New Event window, but it won't "drag". The "E" key works for the first clip, but not the second.I've been using IMovie daily and the problem just appeared. No upgrades to the computer and no new software installed. IMovie 9.0.9 and OSX 10.8.5

Thanks victoryhat. I learned some new things from this very clear tutorial. But it didn't answer my question about why the titles don't stay with the video when I export it.
He did mention something that might be a clue however. When he talked about importing a title he created as an image, he noted that he was careful to make the image the same size as the video he was adding it to: 1280 x 720. Since I took the video with an iPhone in the vertical position, my video image isn't the same size and orientation as the titles.
Maybe there is a way I should be setting the screen for this size??? I'll go back and play around. Meanwhile thanks for alerting me to Gary Rosenzweig's MacMost tutorials. Very clear. I'll look for more.
