Iphoto does not see camera

I recently ran updates on all iLife suite. When a camera is connected now iPhoto starts up but does not recognize that there are photos on the camera to be uploaded. To make matters worse I cannot find a way within the software to tell it to go look at the camera (import).
I've tried a couple different cameras (low and high end) and a couple different machines, same outcome.
Will appreciate help,
Chuck

It's 6.0.6. I mention the upgrades as we installed all all Apple software updates that were issued since last fall over the summer. We re-image the labs once a year, as as long as everything is running OK do not run updates during the school year.
I've been tinkering and the Adminstrative log in group sees the camera in iPhoto. It's the student groups that have trouble so it has something to do with privileges.
Perhaps I need to post in another forum to get help with that?

  • 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.

  • 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 see any changes after editing a photo in Camera Raw

    Hello everyone ,
    I have some small problem with my iPhoto. I have set up Camer Raw in iPhoto as  External Editor, so when I click on edit in IPhoto,
    automatically opens my JPG in Camera Raw. After editing in Camera Raw I'm clicking on ,,Save image" then destination is ,,Save in same location" When I go back to iPhoto to the same photo, iPhoto does not show any changes I have made in Camera Raw. 
    What could it be or should I set something in iPhoto or in Camera Raw?
    Is there a chance in order to deal with this?
    I will be grateful for any assistance and
    I'm waiting for advice
    Dawid

    Any time a RAW file is edited in any 3rd party editor from within iPhoto it MUST be saved to the Desktop and imported as a new file. There's no other way to do it.  So the photos you've edited and saved are somewhere in the iPhoto Library folder system but cannot be recognized and used by iPhoto.
    The following is geared for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements but might have some info relevant for you:
    Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • Capture / FCP does not see camera

    I just upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.0 from Final Cut Express 2.0. and Upgraded to Tiger. The program does not see my camera attached via firewire, though it is seen in system settings. The program crashes when I chose file/capture. I deleted preferences and capture still won't work. Any ideas?
    Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4)   2 GB DDR SDRAM

    You can't just upgrade to QT7 for some reason..you have to do some other trickery to get it to recognize your camera.
    Again, found by simple search:
    1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
    2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
    3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
    4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCE and see your camera.

  • Skype does not see camera

    Skype does not see the camera any more. I think it was working before - camera works fine with facetime, etc.
    I installed recently ESET - could that be it?
    Any help greatly appreciated. Fedele

    Fedele1965 wrote: ...I may as well use facetime ...
    Understood.  That is what i do whenever I can.  In fact, I always use Apple apps if they can do the job.
    BTW, after I posted, it seems that the workaround link I cited may have been edited or modified.
    If you decide to try to get Skype working again now, corrected workaround info is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/22984254#22984254

  • IPhoto does not see my iPhone 5s

    Hey gang-
    I have a brand new iPhone 5S with lots of new pictures that I wanted to import into iPhoto.  But for some reason it is not recognized by iPhoto and does not appear when connected.  I'm connected directly via USB (not a hub) to my late-2013 iMac running the latest Mavericks.   I've rebooted both iPhone and Computer.
    Note that my iPhone is recognized perfectly by iTunes.   I have the iPhoto prefs set to Open iPhoto on Connecting a Camera.   I also checked in Image Capture and it doesn't recognize my iPhone.   I also tried all steps in this Apple KB article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    I've found some old posts here in the forums about this but nothing very recent.   What to try next?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Hey gang-
    Problem solved and replying to my own post in case this helps somebody! 
    In the many many threads describing this exact same problem, I came upon one that suggested deleting any photos in my iPhone Camera Roll that were not actually taken by my iPhone.   Primarily we're talking photos that were shared via email and saved to the Camera Roll.
    Needless to say this was not a quick process given the 1,300 or so photos in my Camera Roll, but I did it and 'voila the iPhone is again recogized by iPhoto.
    Cheers!

  • IPhoto does not 'see' my SD cards.

    I have two cameras and this problem is common to both.  The SD cards are visible on the desktop but not within iPhoto itself.  I have managed to import some photos by dragging the card icon into iPhoto.  But this has not given me the normal full functionality e.g. the option to exclude previously imported pics.   I am using iPhoto 9. v8.1.2 
    Any suggestons about correcting this would be very welcome.

    I reformatted one card with one camera, left second card&camera as they were.  Repaired Permissions and rebooted. I also emptied iPhoto trash of over 500 pics. Now both cameras and cards are recognised by iPhoto and everything seems to be ok. 
    Pleased that some very important photos are now downloaded and backed up.  But I am a bit puzzled at this outcome.  I have the feeling the problem was with the iPhoto app.  Will keep fingers crossed that it does not happen again.
    Many thanks for your prompt reply.

  • HT4101 Mini i-pad does not see camera

    My camera connects successfully to my i-pad but my mini i-pad does not appear to recognise when I attach the same camera. Any suggestions?

    If your device is not recognized, verify it is configured correctly:
    iPad Camera Connector supports Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and Mass Storage Device protocol. Try both settings.

  • IPhoto does not see my iPhone 3G (since 3.0) on G5 but does on MacBookPro

    I have repaired permissions from start up disk, used Disk Warrior, rebuilt permissions within iPhoto.
    My PPC G5 1.8 just will not see my iPhone 3G since I upgraded yesterday to 3.0. iTunes sees it fine.
    My MacBook Pro iPhoto sees iPhone as normal. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks anyway.

  • 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?

  • IPhoto does not see Sony NEX-5........

    .......on 27" iMac and MBP but DOES see it on 20" iMac when USB connected but all macs see the memory card in Finder Devices.
    Any suggestions to help correct this would be appreciated.
    Joe

    OK....all seems to be working fine now. Started both macs giving the problem, in Safe Mode and then started both normally with the camera USB connected and in On position.
    The camera can be be disconnected/re-connected and be fully recognisable in iPhoto - don't know why unless rebooting macs had some affect. Anyway, go figure!

  • HT201302 i have thousands of pictures in my iPad that iPhoto does not see when the iPad is connected to my computer. Any idea how to import them to my iMac?

    Any idea how to import?

    So you're trying to use your iPad as the way to bring photos from your old iMac to your new iMac?
    Why not bring them to your new iMac from your old one, using Migration Assistant or similar?
    The software probably expects you to have done that, and that's why you only received a selective group of photos from your iPad (only those associated with email).
