Iphoto does not recognise my cameras anymore

Up to a week ago my iphoto 11 running snow leopard worked fine and now when I connect my 2 canonixuis 85 is the computer does not see them nor does it open the iphoto program. 3 weeks ago I got the new Lumix waterproof (i think FT3) and it connects fine though has it's own lead. I tried a different lead for the canons and still nothing.
A little frustrating as have a heap of photos to download onto the computer. I searched last night and they said to go to disk utility and do a repair disk permissions and still nothing (but I didn't have the camera connected nor turned on.
I keep the computer always updated so can't remember if in the last few weeks there was a update that may be causing this glitch.
Any help from anyone would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your help, very much appreciated, but I have identified the problem. Once I deleted the nokia sync software (for photos and videos only), turned off the computer and came back later, turned on the computer and hooked up the 2 cameras everything worked fine.
Just to be a pain to myself I loaded up the nokia software again and bingo the computer no longer sees my cameras - deleted software again and yes the computer and iphoto now see the cameras.
Just for additional info the nokia software allows the the so called sync to happen but iphoto opens but it doe not prompt for photos / videos to be downloaded straight into the iphoto but into a folder on the system via the nokia sync software and then you go into iphoto and imovie to do a import into those programs. What I am guessing is this round about way of getting photos into a location that you are use to is a little painful, and I believe it interrupts with other cameras and since they don't have additional software nor can nokia sync see them the connection sits in limbo land meaning while the nokia software for n9 is there nothing else can be downloaded from other camers.
Solution - delete nokia sync software from the computer and use works computer (PC) to down load the odd photo and video to a usb stick and bring it home.
Hope this helps someone else out there.

IPhoto does not recognise camera since synching with new iPhone

Ever since I've setup my new iPhone, Iphoto will not recognise my camera (Panasonic DMC-FX36); even though it recognises the iPhone camera OK. I've previously used the Panasonic camera without a problem and this has only started happening since synching the iPhone for the first time (not sure if this is coincidence or not).
I can't find anything in iPhoto that suggests any settings have changed... I've also tested an older camera (Canon iX series) and found the same problem.
Most frustrating as I have a heap of photo's of my newborn daughter and no way to share them... and a sinking feeling that I may lose them... any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks, I should have mentioned that I've tried Image Capture without luck...i.e. no device connected. The Camera actually asks for the prompt PC or Pictbridge... I've always selected PC, now the camera just freezes after I select the PC option... I have a card reader in my printer, but same problem, device not recognised.... Do you suspect it would be the camera or the iPhoto app?

Any helpful suggestions to resolved this issue welcome!

Premiere Elements 4 or 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows XP 32 bit.....Yes
Are you set up with a FireWire (iLINK) connection for this DV Data capture?
Yes, as indicated by the 1394 connection statement.
From the screenshot, it appears that you only have 77 GB free space at the save location for the DV data capture. Can you point the Captured Video and Captured Audio to another save location with more free hard drive space?
Have moved to 300GB free space. no success.
Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" for Premiere Elements 4 or 8.0/8.0.1?
worked a few years ago marginally probably on Prem Elem 4.0. Have rolled-back NVIDIA drivers to 296.10 dated 14 June 2012 with no success
As background if needed, please review the following Adobe document on Capture
http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b7 9-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2.html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
Although it targets newer versions, the principles should be applicable to Premiere Elements 4 and 8.0/8.0.1.
Have read, no fixes.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Have removed NVIDIA card and am using on-board DVI port. Prem 8.0 still reports "Microsoft Dv Camera" and not Sony as other programs do. What causes Prem Elem to not report Sony DV camcorder?
Thank you, will keep trying.

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.

IPhoto does not recognise the raw files(.NRW) from my new Nikon camera model P7100,any advice please as running latest version of iPhoto(9.2.1)

Since changing my little everyday camera to a new Nikon Coolpix P7100 iPhoto cannot import any of the raw files(.NRW),says it does not recognise them.
I have updated iPhoto to the latest version(9.2.1) but still cannot open them.
Any ideas please

The raw from the P7100 is not supported at this time.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

IPhoto does not see my camera

iPhoto '09 did see my new Panasonic camera at first, and I could import the images and videos without any issues.
Now - a day later - there is some images and movies on my camera's SDHC card, and it does not see the camera at all. I do see the camera card in the finder. So the card is readable. It is just that all of sudden iPhoto does not see it anymore. I tried hence and forth restarting iPhoto and camera but no luck.
The only thing I did in between was loading of a bunch of images from my camera card (via Camera Connector Kit) to my iPad 3. And removing the images (the iPad 3 does not seem to recognize the videos - which is another issue...) via the Photo app on iPad. I then wanted to load the videos (and some new images I tookl direcfly to iPhoto on my iMac. But htat now does not seem to work.
Any tips are much appreciated!

Try these:
1) Go to Disk Utilities and repair permission -- see if it works. If not go to #2
2) If that doesn't work d/l a program call OnyX. Make sure you get the the specific version for the version of OS X you are running. Run the program and go to Maintenance and run all three options Permissions (reset home directory checked), Scripts (run all, but don't delete logs), and rebuild (check LaunchServices and dyld's shared cache). Then go to Cleaning. In System check Kernal and Extentions and Other components. In User make sure at least Applications and Temporary items are checked. You can check the others if you want - no harm will come, just more time. You will be asked to restart your computer each time, but ignore until you have reached this point. When you have done all of the above reboot
Test again. Your camera shoud show up.

B noir
Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

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.

IPhoto does not recognise my iPhone 4S

iPhoto has stopped automatically importing photos from my iPhone 4S when it is connected. It now doesn't even recognise it is there - yet iTunes does.

Hey mpkrp,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone is unable to import photos because it is not being recognized. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

IPhoto does not recognise my Facebook log in details

This is the first time I have tried to log oto Facebook from iPhoto 11.
After 4 hours I am defeated.
I have checked that my Facebook account Platform is open.
iPhoto icon appears under the Facebook Apps page under the Platform setting.
I have changed my Facebook log in and password to ensure that both Facebook and iPhoto are singing the same tune.
I must be doing something wrong that is really basic.
When iPhoto asks for the Facebook settings - It requires:
email address
password
I am entering the same data in these two fields that I use to log into Facebook.
It appears that I have managed to set up the correct data in iPhoto by using iPhoto Preferences: Accounts: Facebook
But when I go to a photo and Share and Facebook then I get the message "Facebook did'nt recognize the login information you entered for the account (my email address).
Is this problem?
Because my facebook email address is not the name of the Facebook Account. The email address is used to log into the account.
Please help I must be really dim on this one
Thanks in advance
Tony

I have an update.
I control two accounts at Facebook.
One is my personal account and the other is our local village hall.
I have been trying to connect my village hall Facebook account to iPhoto. See posting above.
I have now deleted the village hall facebook settings from iPhoto and replaced with my personal account settings.
Hey presto!
I have iPhoto connected to Facebook.
So, I deleted my personal settings in iPhoto and replaced them with the village hall settings.
Back to where I was before no connection from iPhoto to Village Hall Facebook.
Any ideas out there?

9.4.2 version of iphoto does not recognise duplicate video's...

...... when you import to libary from finder?
anyone noticed this or know how to fix it?

It warns me of duplicate video files. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
