Iphoto locks up, and does not recognize our camera consistently

Greetings, All,
We have two iMac computers, V10.6.8, and on one of them, iphoto continuously locks up and freezes. We have to use a key command to escape this situation. Also, sometimes, this same Mac does not recognize the Nikon camera which we've always used on it. How do we remedy these problems, please? Do we need to completely uninstall iPhoto, then reinstall it from Time Machine? Thank you for any and all help you can send our way! God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc

Good Morning, All,
No ideas on how to take care of this situation, then? Guess a trip to the nearest Mac store will be scheduled, and see if they can help us figure out why these two things are happening with iPhoto. If we get it fixed there, I'll post a note here, so other who might be experiencing the same problems can learn the fix. Take care, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc

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?

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Fixed by resetting my password to Apple's new protocol! In my case, I had to add a capitol letter.

Changed my email address, confirmed my password. The App Store still has old address and does not recognize my password.

Easy fix... it's a refresh issue. Sign out and back in with changed name.

I had a very similar problem. Eventually I figured out it was related to Quicktime. I installed the latest Quicktime and Itunes suddenly worked.
I had tried installing, repairing, removing, reinstalling, etc of both Itunes 11 and 10.7.

Still having problems - FC does not recognize HD camera!

Camera: Sony HVRA1U. Final cut does not recognize it.
Audio/Video Settings are:
Sequence Preset: HDV1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: Sony HDV (I think)
Camera menu settings:
VCR HDV/DV: HDV
iLink Con: Off
Nothing. Just does not recognize the camera. Now, it does on iMovie. So what's the deal? I've restarted all systems, unplugged every cable, etc. Done everything possible.
To top it off, it HAS recognized it before. Now it's just stopped.
Also, I'm not exactly computer savvy so I'll need a step by step approach on how I could possibly solve this. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
A workaround would be to use Image Capture to upload from the camera to a folder on the desktop and then import into iPhoto. Or you may have to use a card reader, drag the image files from it to a folder on the desktop and then import (a preferred workflow IMO).
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto 05 does not recognize my camera

Installed iLife 05 last spring. Dug out my SONY Mavica CD300 camera this winter and 05 does not recognize it. The previous version (03, I think--came with computer) did recognize it. SONY support was no help; they suggested Image Capture, which didn't recognize it either. Now what should I try?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You could try to rule out a hardware problem with the camera's USB port, USB cable, or your Mac's USB port. Open your System Profiler (Applications > Utilities > System Profiler) and see if the camera is listed under Hardware > USB. If the camera shows up there, a hardware problem is unlikely. If it does not list there, try a different USB cable, different port on the Mac, or try the camera in another computer.

After installing latest Yosemite update (10.10.3) Mac does not recognize my camera

Did latest Yosemite update yesterday, and all my USB ports are having issues with storage drives, etc. Most frustrating issue is my late 2012 mac mini does not recognize my 2014 Cannon DLSR.
I have tried to connect camera through WIFI and USB ports. I have also tried the most recent Cannon drive update.
NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE. As a designer and artist I use this camera and mac for work constantly.

After updating to the ladtest OS my iPhone most time goes blank when I unlock it and does not recognize my finger print not show the passcode to enter. Screen just brightens up and stays blank.

after updating to the latest operating system on my iPhone 5s, often my screen goes blank and I am unable to unlock my phone. The phone becomes completely non responsive . Since I have the soft touch home button enabled I will either call Siri and ask to open an app which solves the issue or if I don't have Internet then the only solution is to switch off and then switd

Hello there, Prashanthds96.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iPhone not turning on:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Aperture imports the raw images from my new Olmpus e-p5 as .orf files and does not recognize them. What can I do?

Is there another way to convert the .orf files that are not being recognized ?
I used a card reader.
The Olympus Viewer software reads the raw images just fine.
Thanks

I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras, sorry.
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
The Olympus Viewer software reads the raw images just fine.
Does this program have an otion to export the photos in a different format? Then it would be the best way to convert the image files to a supported format.
Or check, if Adobe's free DNG converter supports your camera: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
Aperture can import DNG files with the right settings.
You might also simply import raw+jpeg and work with the jpegs as original files, while you are waiting for the raw support to be released.

Since switched computers, does not recognize HVX100b camera

With the new iMac, it will not recognize an HVX100b video camera in iMovie... since I switched from a Macbook...
System profiler does not see it either... the firewire cable.

Photos does not recognize my camera when I try to import

When I try to import I keep getting an "error -9937". Tried using image capture as a possible solution but it also doesn't recognize my camera. Went back to iPhoto and now it no longer recognizes my camera. It worked perfectly fine until this recent update. Any ideas? I don't want to use the Cloud.

I have seen quite a few similar questions, but none was solved:
com.apple.imagecapturecore error 9937
AFTER UPDATING UPDATE OS X 10.10.3 IMAC NO LONGER RECOGNIZES JPG AND CANNOT DOWNLOAD FROM CAMERA
And all were for Canon cameras. Is your camera also a Canon Powershot? If that is the case contact Canon for help.
As a work-around: Try to read the photos from a card reader and not directly from the camera. It is less bother and you avoid problems, if the batteries in the camera are low.

Itunes will not open and does not recognize ipod, required itunes component is not installed 42404

Itunes was first getting required itunes component not installed. Click ok and could go to itunes. Determined itunes was not recognizing Ipod, computer does. Itunes diagnostics show problem Ipod not found. Now Itunes is not opening. Have installed Itunes again with repair option, then uninstall/install option.
Then manually unintalled Itunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and Application Support. This is a Windows 7 Toshiba PC. Has anyone had this happen or have any ideas?

hi bummed! (you do realise that you're stuck with that alias for the forseeable future, don't you?)
B was asking another user if iTunes.exe was appearing and then disappearing in the Task Manager. I am having the oposite issue in that I cannot End Task in the Task Manager on iTunes.exe. What is up?
hmmm. if that's going on, then we'd better check up on these two possibilities first:
