ImovieHD 6.03 does not see popular Canon GL2 cam but earlier imovie does

I have found that my Canon GL2 camcorder is not recognized and will not import into iMovie HD. I changed the setting to standard definition, 640 x 480, but it does not work. It works with earlier versions of iMovie. The Canon GL2 cam is a popular cam so I do not understand what is wrong. I have checked the pulldown menu by the camera on the control screen but the only cam it "sees" is the the isight so I can not switch it to the GL2. I have a lot of old movies I want to digitize and I would prefer to do it on my new mac rather than my old mac.

There are a few Canon issues that have been addressed:

I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port. The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

Thank you for your reply. I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years. The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import. Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera. However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing. So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years. I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

My new imac w/ fw800 does not see my canon xl2

I'm trying to connect my Canon xl2 to my new imac utilizing fw800 port. I purchased an adaptor off of Apple's website they recommended and the camera does not show up. The camera is on and turned to VCR mode. Any Ideas.

Have you checked with Canon that your camera is compatible with Macs and has the latest driver?

HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

I imported from an SD card onto my iPad air 2, how do I get them into LR? LR mobile does not see them, only sees camera roll not the rest of my photos. HELP!

Using the import connection to my iPad Air 2 I uploaded pictures taken on my DSLR. I want to get them into LR Mobile and then into LR but LR mobile and even CC does not see them on my iPad. What do I do? Any and all help appreciated.
Thank you.

RAW import is not yet supported. Just guessing that this is what you were trying . - Guido

Updated Windows to 8.1 and now Premiere Elements does not see my Panasonic video camera as source

Is anyone else having issues due to the updated Windows 8.1? I have a panasonic digital video mini casset camera that worked fine using a USB cable to upload video. Now the program will not see the camera as a source. Using a firewire is not an option and was not an issue in the past.

Ical on iphone does not sync with ical on mac, but the mac does it!

My ical on my iphone does not sync with ical on mac using MobileMe, but reverse it works very well.
so typing an new event in ical on my phone will NOT appear in ical at my computer. Typing a new event on my mac, than within 10 seconds it appears on my phone.
anybody know how to resolve this? never had the problem before
problem 2: ical on my iphone seems to duplicate a lot of events. Non of them are duplicated on my computer.
related problem?
thank
Hein

I have solved my problem - don't know if yours is the same. I noticed on iPhone, when I listed the calendars there are two sections: the top line showed "All Calendars ->"; when I click on that I get duplicate entries for everything.
Below that is:
"From My Mac.
"All from My Mac ->", followed by a list of individual calendars. When I clicked on that I got single entries.
This led me to realize that in my Settings ->Accounts I had the old "...mac.com" a/c and new "..me.com" a/c. I had thought it didn't matter.
Once I eliminated the "mac.com" A/c, I had only one set of calendars.
Hope this helps you.

Nano ipod does not work in universal docking station but larger ipod does

My partner has a large ipod and I have a nano ipod. he can connect to the universal docking station and listent o music through the sound system but when I connect the nano ipod using the adaptor supplied with my nano ipod it does not recognise it even though it clicks in place as it is supposed to do. I also can not recognise my tracks on the ipod on the computer where the tracks had originally been transferred from, do you think the connector in my ipod has been damaged and is now not working?
I don't have any problems charging from the computer thopugh or listening to what is on it.
Can anyone help?

I have a similar but not quite the same issue. I have a toshiba tecra m3 laptop with windows xp pro. When I have the "enhanced usb driver" enabled under device configuration for my computer, my ports operate fine with usb 2.0 devices at full speed, but when I plug in my ipod it says that it is unrecognized.
If I disable the enhanced driver, then the ports dumb-down to usb 1.0, my ipod works fine with itunes but is a bit slow and other devices (like an external dvd burner) operate at slow speeds.
Also, whenever I plug in my ipod windows pops a box saying it would work faster if I plugged it into a usb 2.0 port. How helpful.
Anyone else experiencing this kind of thing?

Photos for mac does not see my Canon XT1

Canon XT1, how does one import photo's from this camera into Photos for Mac? No problem with Aperture.....

I have an SD card from an Olympus OMD, in Aperture it always recognized the card at the Import tab, Photos shows this in finder but the folder is grayed out and I cannot import the pictures. I hope this will be addressed soon, it's very inconvenient.

Import does not see photos

Very strange. Last night I imported as usual a folder full of raw files, and only 100 photos out of 147 imported. I then tried to imports the remaining ones, but import does not see them at all. Actually now import does not see any files, even from folders which I previously successfully imported. If I drag the photos from the folder into a project it imports the photos fine, but the names are not changed, which is a big problem. It does not work when I try to drag the full folder full of photos. How come I can't import any more? I restarted the computer but import still does not see any photos.
Message was edited by: Pufichek

Oh my God, how stupid of me. You are absolutely right, I had the "Do not import duplicates" ticked. I must have clicked it by error.
Now I'm not sure why the first time only 100 photos were imported, but it's not important. I'll report next time if I have the same problem importing a large folder.
Thank you so much!

Apple TV does not see other iTunes

My Apple TV and my iTunes get along great. A friend showed up with his iTunes (on an XP PC). My iTunes and his work fine together, we are both on 7.3.1. So I know network, sharing and connections all are fine. itunes is working as it should for both of us.
But the Apple TV does not see his iTunes to stream. It is supposed to be able to steam from 5 other iTunes, but my Apple TV only sees mine (the one it syncs with). Note that it can also stream from mine just fine.
Any ideas?

This may reflect my lack of understanding.
His iTunes does not see the Apple TV at all. It does not show up in his iTunes. There is no "devices" list and no Apple TV.
However, even if it did, if you register the Apple TV with another iTunes, doesn't that mean the Apple TV is now going to sync with that new iTunes? Don't you only want to register the Apple TV with one iTunes? I assumed it would stream with any iTunes on the network (up to five).
But we are not there yet. His iTunes does not see the TV and the TV does not see him.
I double checked, he is looking for Apple TV in his settings.

Installer does not see hard drive, how do I mount

Initialized Hard Drive with current volume and as mac extended and zero'd out memory. This drive came out of a PC that had been out of whack and drive was partitioned wrong in the PC. It worked fine to load mac OS 9.2.2 and has 18 gigs free. When I boot off of the Tiger disc it does not see the hard drive at all. Neither does the disc utility function. I checked the firm ware and it is up to date. Ran disk warrior and it says all is ok. Is it something simple?
I can't figure out what it is I have over looked. Thanks

Try this instead:
1a (If this is the startup drive.) Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu if using Tiger.) Be sure to use the installer disk for the version of OS X you intend to install.
1b (If this is a non-startup volume or external drive.) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
If this is the second drive in your computer, be sure you have jumpered the drive as SLAVE (assuming the original hard drive is jumpered as MASTER.)
