IMovie 7 will not recognize logitech camera

I have iMove 7 and just bought a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro. When I brought up iMovie, it wouldn't recognize the camera. What preference did I forget?

You might try posting to the iMovie 08 discussion. This one's concerned with iMovie 4 and earlier.

IMovie 11 will not recognize panasonic hdc-sd90 camera

I have just shot my first clip with this video camera and am trying to import it into imovie 11 but imovie will not recognize the camera even though the video camera shows up in system profiler ? any suggstions please.

One cable, or an adapter plug for the cable? I assume the former.
If the Sony works, you can capture using that most likely.

You should see the camera identified here:
If it's not seen by the OS it can't be seen by iMovie, regardless of the version you're using.

Labview will not recognize Sony camera connected via ethernet.

I have a Sony camera, model XCG-SX97E, and have been trying to interface it using Labview. I was told that the easiest way to do so is using the NI Vision packadge. However it became quickly appearent that Labview will not recognize the camera at all. It is connected via ethernet directly to my computer. I have tried using NI MAX and Instument I/O assitant, neither of which displayed ethernet or the device as an option. I have never tried to interface a third party device before and am at a loss at how to proceed. If it helps to know, my computer has only one ethernet port, which is taken up by the camera when connected, and it has an Intel 82479LM Gigabit ethernet network connection.

After talking to tech support, I have dont the following:
1) Uninstalled Sony drivers
- This allowed the camera to show up in MAX
2) Created a homemade cross over cable because I do not own one
3) Disabled my firewall
Now, when I try to acquire an image in MAX, I get the error 0xBFF69031: "The system did not recieve test packet from the camera."
I have tried all the suggestions listed on http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4D0ECFAA9AD9FF3E8625792600551A1E and have had no luck.
I am now going to try the solutions found in this thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/0xBFF69001-0xBFFF800B-errors-with-GigE-JAI-CV-A10GE/td-p/1742...

Aperture will not recognize my camera

I am having two issues with Aperture that just started happening.
First... I use to store all my photos on my external HDD. Now, I've disconnected that HDD and am storing my master aperture library on my internal HDD. I've changed my library preferences. That's the only change I've made recently.
#1 problem. Aperture is taking forever to start running. When I click on the icon it easily takes a few minutes for Aperture to load.
#2. When I select File>import it easily takes 2-3 minutes for aperture to bring up the import window and when the import window does load it will not recognize my Nikon D70 slr at all. However, after being connect for, maybe, 10 minutes all the sudden aperture will recognize my camera.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have been using a Nikon 5700 camera for the last five or six years. Aperture couldn't recognixe the RAW files. I have been fiddling around trying to figure out what to do, bought software to convert files, copying, altering preference files, etc. What a pain. I just installed Lightroom and saw my entire photo library for the first time since I got my MAC

IPhoto 11 will not recognize my camera or card reader

My new iMac with iPhoto 11, on Lion, will not recognise my camera, a SanDisk card reader or, for that matter, my iPhone 4.
It means that I cannot put new photo's into iPhoto.
From other forums and threads there seems to be an Apple issue but no fix.
Any ideas?
Thank you

The point of using a Different Account on your Mac is that it will tell us if the applications are sound or not. If the problem occurs in another User account we'll know the issue is systemic. If it doesn't then we know the apps are sound and the issue is something in your account.
Basic troubleshooting: try the same things using different cables. If the cable is faulty then that's how we'll know. That fact that other features work using this cable means nothing. A connector cable has several strands. One could be damaged.
Ditto for using different USB ports on the machine.

Help! Computer will not recognize my camera at all!

Hello, everyone. This is my first post, and I am at a loss as to what to do.
I've had my camera for over a year, and I have never had any problems before uploading pictures from my camera to my PowerBook. However, all of the sudden, last night, my computer decided it didn't want to recognize that I had my camera connected! Both iPhoto 4.0.3 and Image Capture are unaware I have my camera connected. The camera I'm using is a Kodak EasyShare Z730.
Any suggestions as to what I should do? I've tried plugging it in a different USB port, and I've tried restarting the computer.
Any ideas would be wonderful!
Thanks in advance!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Can you temporarily connect some other USB device to verify that your PowerBook's USB ports are in working order? Do you have another computer to which your camera can be connected to verify that a working USB connection is being made from the camera?
If we can somehow eliminate a hardware issue, then you can focus on software. Have you tried creating a new admin user account? If the new account recognizes your camera, it would narrow the problem down to something within your regular user account.

IMAC, iMovie, iPhoto will not recognize iPhone, won't charge either

Hello All:
I just took some video with my iPhoto 3GS, and connected my iPhone to my iMac only to find that:
iPhone is not recognized by either iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie and what's more it won't charge. That is, my iMAC can't detect iPhone as a connected device. I went to the Apple support page and ran through all of the troubleshooting steps (except clean uninstall and reinstall of iTunes.)
As a control, I connected iPhone to my MacBook and all fine: it charges, iTunes recognizes it as a connected device, as do iPhoto and iMovie.
This is a new thing, as when I got the iPhone a month or so ago, I used my iMac to initialize it.
All software up to date, all USB ports on iMAC work, cable is fine.
The ONLY new software I have loaded since I last used iPhone and iMAC together is Snapz Pro X (trial), so I did a thorough (and I mean thorough) uninstall of that...no change.
I live in Spain, so my closest Genius Bar is London, and I'm not flying up with a 24"iMAC under my arm!
Any help?
Steve

Isn't it always the last place you look for something is where you'll find it?
Last night when I made the post I was just too tired to delete iTunes and go through the Libraries to scrub out the files.
This morning, with a Cappuccino I did it.
Reloaded a fresh copy of iTunes...all better now.
Perhaps Apple support on this topic should change "on rare occasions you will need to reinstall iTunes" to "you will need to reinstall".
Anyway, better now.
BTW: the reason all this happened is because I wanted to transfer iPhone videos to my Mac to work on them in iMovie. iMovie won't recognise the iPhone, but, Image Capture does!! Just offloaded the 10 vids from iPhone in .mov format. I'm good to go.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

My Mac and/or iPhoto will not recognize my camera.

So I shot pics in RAW yesterday and when I hook my camera it is not recognized. This happened the other day also when I shot in RAW. What would be the problem?

Did you apply the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.2? If so the following may help:
"Source:http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8142169#8142169
Page Title: Apple - Support - Discussions - Can't import Canon RAW's (400D) to ...
Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 7:26:47 PM
This might work (from Clem who figured it out):
Delete the file: System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle then (re)install the previous version.
Get the previous version here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawcompatibilityupdate21.htm l
Restart your computer. "
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Image Capture will not recognize my camera or iPhone4?

After recent updates the image capture now reads "no camera or scanner selected" when my iPhone 4 and/or digital camera are connected. Why? Help? Anyone else with this problem...please have a solution!

Rebecca have you had the chance to restart or do a SMC reset? If not then please do see if that helps.
SMC RESET

Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

OSX will not recognize my camera

I have a Nikon D70 SLR. It is using a compact flash card to store the images.
I connect it to my computer using a USB cable and Aperture to download the images.
When I connect the camera to my computer I do not get a little Hard Drive icon to appear on my desktop. With other people's camera when I connect the camera I get and icon. Why doesn't it happen with my camera?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

OK.
Thanks guys. While trying to answer your questions I found the answer.
There was a setting on my camera for the USB connection.
It was either PTP
or Mass Storage
I set it to Mass Storage instead of PTP. Do you guys know the difference?
Thanks again.

My mac book will not recognize my camera to upload my pictures

I have no idea how to get or make Iphoto on my mac because i bought my mc used. I also cannot get exe files to run. Does anyone PLEASE know where I can get this stuff?

Marcie, I apologize that I didn't realize that I was talking to the same person on two different threads....I never put two and two together. Have you tried a different USB cable to the optical drive? Other than that it would appear that the drive you bought isn't going to play nice with your mac. Most, not all usb optical drives will work without a hitch, some just won't. Can you return that drive and buy one from a Mac specialist like OWC....someone that will guarentee that their drive works with a mac.

My iMac will not recognize my camera

I have a Nikon and an iMac OS x 10.7.4 For what ever reason my computer quit recognizing my camera. It was working then it was not. I have restated it. I have charged the battery on the camera. I have relocated the USB cable to the back of the computer. I do not see the icon in my device section. Any Ideas out there?

Most likely it is the CDs and DVDs Application System Preferences. If you don't have the Finder opening it, it won't appear on the desktop. This user tip explains how it might disappear in other methods, because any removable media won't be able to be ejected by the Finder unless it knows to show that kind of media in the correct location:

Imovie 11 does not recognize my panasonic pv-gs150.

I have a panasonic mini dv camcorder and am attempting to import to imovie 11 via firewire. imovie will not recognize my camera so I cannot import. How do import for editing - do I need different software?

The interface with DV cameras is very flaky. Too much intervening hardware may not work. However, I would assume iMovie could at least see the camera.
However, if it is an Unknown device, it isn't getting passed to iMovie as a camera. Try bypassing the Hub and see if it at least identifies.
I was testing an old Canon DV camcorder to see if I had a problem. I did, but I think it is related to the cabling. I had a 4-pin to 6-pin cable going into an old, portable hard drive, then to a FW400 to FW800 cable, through my daisy-chain of FW800 drives. I got no video, but the controls worked (play, pause, etc.). I then connected directly to the Mac Mini, bypassing the hard drive daisy-chain, but still no video. I'm pretty sure the no-video is a cable problem, so I ordered a 4-pin to FW800.

IPhoto 08 Will not recognize a Canon EOS 450D

I am trying to download some photos from a friends camera to my Macbook and it will not recognize the camera, can you please help me. Mac OS10.5.7 with plenty of RAM. The camera was purchased in England and I am in Canada.
Thanks.
Liz

Since there is no detail I'll guess - if the photo is in sRAW mode Canon has not released the specs for sRAW and it can only be processed by their software
If the camera is in normal RAW or JPEG then post back
