In Mavericks OS X iMovie does not detect the camera

Hi,
Yesterday I had OS 10.8.7 and then I upgraded to OS Mavericks, and now when I try to import videos from my camcorder (new camcorder just purchased 4 weeks ago) iMovie does not seem to detect it.
But iPhoto does detect it.
The camera is Sony Handycam HDR-cx220
Is there some setting that I need to set? Or am I screwed?
Thanks!
And if all else fails, am I able to go back to the old OS?

For a list of iMovie '11 supported cameras see http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
Can you see the files on your camera  in the Finder rather than from iMovie (either directly connected camera or via a memory card)?
If yes your camera is acting as a separate volume and you can copy your clips onto your mac with the Finder then import the files into iMovie.  If the format is AVCHD there are some special considerations to take into account.

  • When i connect my philips 170c monitor to my macbook pro 13" early 2011, it does not detect the second monitor?

    help! i've googled around, but none seems to solve my problem
    my macbook pro is early 2011, 13", running lion.
    the philips monitor is vga only, so i have a mini display port to vga adaptor and connecting it to the vga.
    the screen on my mbp does turn blue, but no input is detected on the external monitor.
    any advice?

    If it does not detect the display automatically, try going to system preferences>displays, click detect displays.

  • Captivate 3 does not detect the micro

    Dear Users!
    I have a lot of problems, using captivate 3 on my vista
    installation. actually, the program does not detect the microphone.
    i am using this micro in other applications without any problems. i
    read this problem also exist in older versions of captivate. i am
    using realtech audio hardware. i found a patch for captivate 2 that
    does not work on captivate 3, but i found no pathch for captivate
    3.
    greetings from germany

    Hi Rene
    It should be logical to assume that any patch that corrected
    issues with version 2 would be automatically incorporated in
    Captivate 3.
    To my knowledge, your situation is one I've not seen or heard
    of in Captivate 3. So I suspect possibly a mix of hardware that we
    haven't seen before.
    I would highly suggest you report this to Adobe as a
    potential bug. Please provide them as much detail as you can. You
    do this using the Wish Form.

  • I am trying to import i frame from an SD90 video camera to iMovie, but it does not see the camera. Footage goes to i photo Why?

    I am trying to import video ( i frame) from an sd90 ( listed for mac) but i movie does not see the camera. It imports into i photo. Is this normal ?

    If you quit iPhoto and iMovie (with the camera still attached) then put the camera into VCR playback mode. Then launch iMovie and see if it can see the camera. If not, get out the power adapter for the camera and plug it into the wall, plug the camera into the power adapter. Reboot your Mac and wait for iPhoto to launch again automatically. Don't let it import the clips, just say No, quit the program. Then put the camrea int VCR/Playback mode, launch iMovie and check again to see if it can see the camera. Once iMovie sees it the first time it should be quicker to recognize it in future. But iPhoto does try to race in there and grab everything first.
    To turn this off go to iPhoto Menu in iPhoto > Preferences > Look for Connecting camera opens: (click on the pulldown menu and choose No Application) This effectively turns off iPhoto when you first attach the camera. And it opens the way to iMovie recognizing it quicker.

  • Iphoto 8.03 and it does not recognize the camera

    Just downloaded IPHOTO 8.03, It does not recognize the camera
    Not able to download new photos

    What camera is it? Have you set it to PTP or Mass Storage? Did you check the cable, camera battery, try a different USB port? Have you tried using a Card Reader?

  • I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2.  I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade.  iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture.  IC says there is not a camera connected.  Cable is known good.

    If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
    Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

  • IPhoto does not see the camera

    iPhoto does not see the camera, although it worked really well for two years. Computer has been regularly updated. Please help, thank You.

    Image Capture doesn't see the camera. I have tried with two different Sony cameras, that I have been using for a long time on this computer. It is iMac 27''. Both of these cameras work normaly in MacBook Air, that means that the problem is not in the camera, or the cards. Those are the things I have tried so far. Only difference I created on the computer is that I have, two or three days ago, installed external hard drive WD My Book Studio which is connected to the computer by FireWire 800.

  • Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should

    Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should go to "the Camera Raw help documentation." When I click on the help menu I get a message from my browser stating that it is a dangerous website. Now what

    Unfortunately it was clicking on Updates that brought the “dangerous website” pop-up, but several hours later I tried again for the umpteenth time, and it worked! I am so glad because I am working on a project with a deadline.
    Thanks for replying. Maybe if someone else has this problem they could be told to wait a few hours and try again.
    The main option on the ‘dangerous’ pop-up is a “Get me out of here!” button, which I always clicked. There are options to go to the website anyway, but I am too leery of the web to do that. Now that I know it’s possible to reach the update center without risk I will never consider it.
    Thanks again,

  • My imovie does not detect my Panasonic NV GS 35 video camera.

    Hi,
    I have recently bought an apple computer and tried to import video on imovie but imovie did not detect my video camera. i can upload video on my windows xp laptop so i know that all is ok with the camera and i can upload photos and video using my wife's digital photo camera so i know that other hardware is detected by my computer. I have also the correct fire wire cables which I bought from an apple dealer, who could not help me with this problem either.
    Do i need different drivers for an apple computer as the only ones that came with the panasonic camera are for windows? and if so where do i get it as i looked on the net unsuccessfully.
    Thanks

  • Laptop does not detect the new HDD

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen Gameday! I need help.
    On my laptop broke down the hard drive. According to reports, a lot of bad sectors, SMART. Decided to put a new HDD. Laptop does not see the new hard drive. In the BOOT MENU new hard drive is not detected.
    Old hard drive while still runs in the BOOT menu displays all 3 sections. On the new disk interface is similar to the interface connection on the old disk.
    laptop model: 15-e 051 sr.
    OS: Win 8
    manufacturer of the old hard drive : Hitachi
    new hard drive: seagate.
    New hard drive on another system checked for operability.
    Also, the laptop refused to work with other hard drives: Samsung, Hitachi.
    I am sorry for your Books English. For transfers using Google translator.
    I look forward to qualified support, despite the language barrier.
    Sincerely Sqwosh.

    Hi @sqwosh ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my utmost to assist you.
    First I would like to let you know that the broken English is not a problem.  I understand that Google translation can be a a little rough in the translations.  We  will work together and I am  sure we will do fine!
    I grasp that you are trying to replace the hard drive but it is not being recognized in the bios.
    Here is a link to the HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. please note page 57 for a list of supported hard drives.  It will also provide information on removal and replacement of the hard drive.
    You could also try this.
    Once you have the hard installed and connected and you are at the bios screen, you will notice an option to restore defaults along the bottom. ( I believe it is F5) .  This will cause it to scan for the hardware and hopefully find your new hard drive.
    Please do not hesitate to respond if you require further assistance and good luck!

  • IPhoto does not detect Samsung Camera

    Here's the info: The camera is a Samsung TL500 and I have a MacBook with OS X Leopard with the latest updates. When I plug in the camera into the USB, the camera recognizes that it is connected but no files from the camera appear on the computer when I turn it on, not in the hard drive, iPhoto, Image Capture or Aperture. Looking for it under any name on Spotlight does not work either because it does not show up as a device anywhere.
    I have used my Nikon D40X with this computer and never had problems. I have tried every setting imaginable on the camera to get the computer to recognize it. I know it is a problem with my mac and not the camera because I plugged it into my friend's macbook which has the exact same operating system as mine and it worked. There must be something I can do so the computer detects the camera's SD card as a mass storage device.
    Here is what I have tried:
    Changed the preferences on Image Capture and iPhoto
    Changed different SD cards, both SD and SDHC
    Switching the camera settings (PC Software on, Connect Computer, etc.)
    Deleting iPhoto, Image Capture and Aperture .plist files
    Repairing disk preferences
    Plugged in other USBs (I switched it to different USB ports and also plugged in devices that work, such as my iPod to test if it was the cord. It's not.)
    There is no mac driver for the TL500 and the mac is supposed to automatically recognize it (as it easily did on my friend's). I called Samsung tech support and they said it must be a software issue or operating system problem on my mac, which I believe is what I've narrowed it down to also.
    I know I can just get a card reader, but honestly one less thing to carry around would be nice and since I know it's possible for my mac to recognize my camera I would prefer it.
    Do you have any suggestions for other things I can do on my Mac to figure this out? I have not encountered anyone else with a mac who has this problem with this camera.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Iris,
    You have done some very thorough troubleshooting thus far. If neither iPhoto, nor Image Capture detect the camera but another Mac does (using the same cables and media card) then I can only see 2 possibilities:
    1.) Hardware issue on the Mac.
    __Test this by using a different camera in the same USB port and seeing if is detected. I understand that historically it has worked but things can change overnight. Test it now.
    __If you don't have another camera to test with go to Apple > About this Mac > More Info > USB while the camera is plugged in. If the USB port, camera, and cable are all working you should see your camera listed here.
    2.) Software issue on the Mac.
    __Safe Boot the computer and try iPhoto and Image capture again.
    __If safeboot works you may have a startup item that is preventing detection of the camera. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove everything here using the minus sign except 'iTunes Helper'.
    __Before troubleshooting any further I would suggest testing in a new user: Creating a new user account
    Hope that helps.

  • Lightroom 5 does not detect my camera, a Nikon D600, in tethered capture. Can someone assist?

    Lightroom 5 does not detect my Nikon D600 in tethered capture. I have tried turning the camera off then on and also turned the computer off then on.  I am using windows 7.  Anyone have any ideas?

    I am having the same problem with both my D610 and my D800.  Both worked fine in the past.  In both cases, I can import files from the camera via 'Import', so I know the USB connection to the computer is fine, but Neither camera is detected during tether.

  • IMovie does not see my camera

    iMovie will not recognize my camera. My camera is a Sony DCR-SR47.
    When I select Import from camera, I only see my facetime camera. I tried unplugging cables, restarting camera, changing cables, restarting iMovie and restarting the computer.
    It seems pretty straightforward, but ... no camera shows up.

    According to http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US your camcorder is supported by iMovie '11 (Version 9).
    But, according to http://help.apple.com/imovie/10/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US it is not supported by iMovie '13 (Version 10)
    The reason is Apple  has dropped support for some of the older codecs.
    So I infer you are using iMovie 10?  All is not lost, but you will have to copy the files from you camera to hard disk with Finder and then transcde them into a format that iMovie 10 accepts.  The article:
    http://lauralily10.tumblr.com/post/68120460685/mpg-imovie-mac-how-do-i-import-a- mpg-file-into-imovie
    should help here. 
    There are a number 3rd party apps, some free, that will do the transcoding in fact Quicktime 10 may be the easiest since it converts old codecs before playing and you can save the converted files
