Imovie HD with Leopard won't recognize my Canon ZR40

I have been making movies with imovie HD with Tiger for a long time. I have just now installed Leopard and 10.5.1. Tried to start a new imovie project and imovie won't recognize my canon zr40 which has been working with imovie fine until Leopard was installed. It says no camera attached when I hook it up and try to import. Any ideas? I know it's a Leopard problem since that;s the only thing that has changed in the last couple of years. Hope Apple fixes this because I'm dead in the water here.

Figured it out. From this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61603
I had an external HD attached by firewire on back of Mac and camera attached on front of mac and I guess this bus conflicts. Unplugged HD and camera recognition worked. I had this before a long time ago with an isight camera but not since then. Weird.

    iMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D

    No drivers are required on the Mac to use the camera.  The Mac will natively recongize the camera.  
    You can install Canon's supplemental software or you can use the Apple provided software or 3rd party software.
    However... when you connect a camera to a Mac and it recognizes the camera, you *can* configure what you want the computer to launch.  By default, a Mac will usually launch iPhoto.  
    If you open iPhoto (do this EVEN if you don't want to use iPhoto) then go into iPhoto -> Preferences and look at the "General" category.  You'll see an option that reads:  "Connecting camera opens:" with a selection menu next to it.  You can use that menu to pick what you want your Mac to do, then close and quite iPhoto.
    When connecting the camera to the computer, do the following:
    Turn the camera off
    Use the supplied USB cord to attach the camera to the computer (some caveats here... I'll mention them below).
    Power the camera on after it's attached.
    About those caveats on step 2.
    The reason I say "use the supplied USB cord" instead of use any USB cord is because if you're like me... you've got LOTS of USB cords laying around.  Some of these come with devices that use USB for charging purposes.  And some of those USB cables ONLY bother to wire the power supply pins and not the data transfer pins.  In other words... it looks like a normal cable, but wont actually allow for data transfer.   You will need to take care to make sure you're using a proper cable.
    Next I should caveat the use of USB hubs.  Whenever you're having a problem with a computer not recognizing a USB device, it's a good idea to disconnect extraneous USB devices that have nothing to do with your issue AND if there's a USB "hub" involved... bypass the hub and connect the camera directly to a USB port on the computer itself.  
    I use a USB hub and this particular hub is reliable... but truthfully I had to buy three different hubs before I found one that worked reliably.  I've discovered there are a lot of flakey hubs on the market.  When in doubt... bypass the hub.  If you find that you can get your computer to recognize your camera on a consistent basis if you bypass the hub then you can direct your attention to finding a reliable hub.
    That's the end of the caveats.  
    I wrote a response to a user with a similar issue in which I detail the steps to use the Mac's System Information utility to determine if the camera is showing up as connected to the camera.  You can find that post here:

  • I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.

    I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.
    Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

    Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
    It sounds like you were using that previously.
    And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

    It often fails to boot with the circle with slash. Tried safe boot (works), tried booting from optical drive with original system disc (won't recognize or eject-tried all of the eject techniques), and ran disk repair in target mode (found nothig wrong). Can't run hardware check for obvious reasons. It does not see external drives connected to FW or USB ports.I am starting to suspect a bad logic board. Any thoughts?

    I can no longer startup from a CD/DVD
    Be sure you're inserting the DVD that came with your Mac Pro. If you are trying to boot from other optical media be sure it is compatible with Intel Macs and specifically the Mac Pro. You are probably trying to boot off a discs that does not have a suitable OS on it.
    or my external FW drive which has 10.4.8 also installed on it (pre-intel)
    Same goes here. Your FireWire drive does not have a suitable OS installed in it. You need to install an Intel version of Mac OS X. Additionally you will probably need to repartition your drive using the GUID Partition Table. Until you do both of these Startup Disk will not let you select it.

  • FCX won't recognize attached Canon GL2 while FW800 HDD is connected

    Heres the problem. I have a Lacie external HDD attached to my PowerBook G4 via Firewire 800 when I connect my Canon GL2 to the Firewire 400 port either on the Lacie HDD or PowerBook and start FCX FCX will not recognize the Canon GL2 as being attached.
    I want to be able to capture video to the external HDD instead of my internal HDD due to space issues.
    Also when I disconnect the etxernal HDD FCX recognizes the Canon GL2 immediately.
    Why doesn't FCX see the Canon GL2 when the external HDD is connected?
    I am running 10.4.9 with FCX 3.0.
    PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    LaCie does not support the use of their drives with Canon cameras as long as they are both on the same bus because of the FireWire protocol used by that manufacturer. Macs only have one FireWire bus, though they may have multiple ports. Using your PowerBook you can add a second FireWire bus putting on into to your cardbus slot. This will give you two separate buses and the computer will be able to address the devices separately.

  • Epson C84, Leopard Won't Recognize

    Tried it all and I can't get Leopard to recognize my Epson C84/USB printer.
    There's a Leopard ddriver for this printer. Does it need to be removed. Does the Epson driver need to be removed? Epson support site is not helpful and email support unresponsive.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jeff D.

    Dudley Warner,
    Hubs are always a place for potential conflict on the USB Bus.
    If removing the hub from the bus resolves the issue here are a couple of tips:
    1. Use a powered hub rated for USB 2.0
    2. Unplug the hub from power, and the USB bus, and let it sit for about 2 minutes, and then retry with the hub. This resets the hub completely.
    However, if it continues to fail, you may be best connecting your device directly to the computer. Several iPod models can use the iPhone's USB cable, so that might be an option.
    Hope this helps,

  • Acrobat Pro 9 and Leopard Won't Recognize Scanner

    Hi, I'm new to this forum.
    I am running OS 10.5.5 on an iMac (intel core duo processor), and using Acrobat Pro 9.0.0. I have an Epson 1640SU scanner, and it has worked fine through all of OS X including Tiger 10.4.11 and Acrobat Pro 9 on my PowerPC (G4 PowerMac). However, I cannot get it to recognize a scanner in Acrobat Pro. When I go to File, Create PDF, From Scanner I get the Acrobat Scan window but there are no scanners available (under Tiger with Acrobat Pro on the PowerMac G4 this window would then allow me to select my scanner). I downloaded the latest Epson drivers, and the scanner works fine with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (IN ROSETTA MODE). Epson had a note regarding CS3 which indicated to set it to operate in Rosetta mode (whatever that is) and the instructions to do so by checking a box in the Get Info command from the Application Finder window. Acrobat Pro does not have any option like that.
    Anyhow, am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else run across this? Is there a solution which allows scanning direct from the Acrobat Pro application?
    My current work around is to scan in CS3 or the Epson Scan application then to save the document and then to open in with Acrobat Pro and then to work on it.
    Thanks for any ideas, information or assistance.
    Barry

    the check mark by the scanner in the system preferences indicates That the driver is active. you wan to uncheck all the scanner drivers except any associated with Epson.
    what you do once you get into acrobat, is choose the scan device. which should show (choosing SANE). Now go to File menu and choose make PDF from Scanner. If everything is set you get a menu of whether you want front page only Both and so on there will also in acrobat 9 be some setting for Optical Character recognition and so on.
    Then choose to start scan after setting everything. Now you will have to wait for the SANE Scanner menu to come up. choose whether color Greyscale or line art and set the slider for the desired DPI. now hit preview. let scanner scan item them you can click anywhere in the bounding box to make it disappear and you can choose the desired portion of document you wan to scan.
    Ok and make sure you down only the versions of the components for the OSX version your using. each is written different according to the OS.

    Hi David,
    - Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
    You may try the following steps:
    1. Reset SMC as per the following article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US. If this does not resolve the issue then go to step 2.
    2. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/System Configuration and remove a file called powermanagement.plist (drag it to trash, might prompt for a password). Restart the mac thereafter. If this does not resolve the issue, boot to safe mode as per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455 and check the issue there. If it works there, you will have to remove the following files to check Macintosh HD/Library/StartupItems, HD/Library/Caches and then restart the mac.
    Let me know if this works.

  • "New" Express (A1084) - Leopard won't recognize

    Hi folks -
    I bought a believed-to-be-working-and-unused Airport Express, model A1084, today. I swapped out an existing working wireless router and plugged it in. The light went solid green. I then went to my Leopard-based MB Pro and went to the Airport Utility, and it can't find the Airport and keeps asking me to rescan. I put the laptop next to the device; no deal. I tried holding down the reset button while plugging it in: it went green, but still no dice.
    Anything else I should try? Really don't want to try to return... thanks!

  • My Bootcamp (OS X Leopard) won't recognize my Windows 7 Installer CD and ejects it. Help!

    Hello, I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my iMac bought in 2008. Unfortunately, when I clicked Start Installation on the Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." The iMac eventually ejects the installer disc.
    Help!

    You need to delete files from the hard drive before you upgrade. I believe Leopard requires 9GB of free space, and then you also want at LEAST 10GB free at all times.
    Is the disc black with a silver X?

  • Leopard won't recognize commercial dvd's

    Hello.
    I first noticed this problem when I first inserted my Leopard installation disc. It didn't show up on the desktop. I then kept the disc inside the machine while I held down the "c" key and restarted. I then got the installation window and went ahead and installed. Whew.
    Things seem to work fine with the OS, but now when I insert a commercial dvd ( TV shows on dvd, a self made dvd, or for instance, a new Photoshop Elements 4.0 install disc, which I had to upgrade to today ) the dvd tray doesn't open and close. It opens well with a hard push on the eject button on the keyboard, but only wants to close with little half-hearted closing motions, or if I ( gulp ) push it in manually.
    I was able to get the PSE install disc to show in the desktop after a few trys and fortunately, I was able to complete the installation. But when I manage to get a commercially made dvd in the dvd tray nothing happens. It used to just open to the dvd screen and remote controls etc.
    I also noticed that when I try to run repair permissions from disk utility, a Sony dvd drive ( looks like the one that came with my power mac ) shows itself on the left pane along with my hard drive. Also, when I try to run repair permissions ( on the hard drive ), the blue and white progress bar just shows blue and white, fast moving and endless waves.
    Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

    Are you using known high quality jewelcase based media that hasn't been written or labelled on?
    Here's a website to find high quality media:
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia/
    Also are you burning at less than maximum speed?
    Are you sure the drive is known to handle that kind of media? Look at the System Profiler in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> Hardware -> Disk Burning, and read the kinds of media known to be able to be burnt.

  • Can't Install Leopard, Won't Recognize Tiger

    Hi - I want to install Leopard on an iMac currently running the latest edition of Tiger (10.4.11 or so?). It meets all of Leopard's tech requirements as well. However, when I begin the process, the Leopard install system says it can't install on my iMac because I'm NOT running Tiger.
    This is incorrect - in fact, the iMac came with Tiger pre-installed, and that's the only OS it's ever run. How can I convince the Leopard install disc of this fact? I don't see any options for communication besides the "OK" button. It's doubly frustrating because when it then tells me I have to restart, and asks which disk to boot from, it shows my iMac RUNNING TIGER as one of the options.
    Is there a way to tell the Leopard OS disk that I DO in fact have Tiger currently installed?
    Thanks in advance -

    I'm most confused - not hard to do on a weekend morning with only one cup of coffee. If you have the retail Leopard installer it doesn't matter what version of OS X your iMac has. I used the same disk to install Leopard on top of 10.3 and 10.4 so something weird is going on. BTW, BootCamp should have nothing to do with it - my own computers had BootCamp beta when I upgraded to Leopard.
    What kind of upgrade are you attempting? Archive & Install or Erase and Install? If you are attempting the A&I what the installer might really be trying to tell you is that there's not enough disk space to perform that installation. Then again, I know that Leopard's installer is able to give that error message properly. The installer might be coming across a weird error when it is checking the drive so run Disk Utility and make sure the drive doesn't need to be repaired.

  • IMovie won't recognize my Canon Elura 85, can't import video.

    Hi there, I'm trying import video from my Canon Elura 85 into iMovie. It only has a USB port and a "DV" port (I have no idea what this DV port is, I'm using the provided USB cable). iMovie says there's no camera attached. I tried using image capture, it couldn't find it either. Everyone else who has an Elura 85, doesn't seem to have problems importing, just seperating takes. I can't even import. Can anyone help me? Many thanks. -A

    Yeah, figured out that that DV out was the firewire cable out. Feeling real slick right about now.

  • Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP800 Scanner

    My MP800 is able to print from my new iMac but it is not even recognized for scanning.  Is this something that will be corrected soon?  It's a bummer to have this perfectly good all-in-one printer/scanner from Canon and now it won't scan.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I already downloaded all the Canon drivers that are available for Mountain Lion.  Still nothing.
    I also tried using Preview ... same story.
    Another writer had this concern with his Canon MP600.

    Assuming you downloaded and installed these from the Canon website:

    Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
    Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan (# ).
    Click your printer in the left pane.
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.Figure 4: Example of the Show Details scanning screen#
    Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .NOTE: Make sure to select either the Flatbed mode or the Document Feedermode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
