Ipphotowon't recognize my camera anymore

This isn't an iphoto specific problem, but i thought this was the best place to get help for my unusual situtation.
I have a Canon D400 camera - about 3 months old. I have been using it happily until yesterday when, for the first time in about a month, i plugged it in to download some pics and it doesn't register on my mac...in either iphoto or image capture.
I plugged it in to my Pc and it works fine. The only things i have done in recent times to my mac, since last downloading photos is install Final Cut studio pro and maybe an update for Iphoto 08.
has anyone else comes across this?
Many thanks
Ross

Try repair permissions with Disk Utility. But the Card Reader is a better solution... Less wear and tear on your camera's ports, less risk of corrupted imports due to the camera closing down during transfer...

  • Help!  iPhoto doesn't recognize my camera anymore

    My Pentax Optio S4 has worked great for the last couple of years - when I plugged in the USB cable, iPhoto opened and all went well. Now all of a sudden nothing happens, and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera and neither does Image Capture. Did I inadvertantly DO something, or does anybody know what happened and how to get my seamless importing back?

    Move the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and the "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" files from your user's "Library >Preferences" folder to the trash and reset the Image Capture preferences to recognize your camera.

  • X205-sli1 64bit windows 7 won't recognize sony camera anymore and SLI mode flicker

    I suspect this is more a windows 7 driver issue than a laptop issue, but does anyone have any ideas?
    background:
    so, started with X205-sli1 default a month ago, since then it has gotten... 4gb ram, dual 500gb drives, and a T9500 CPU  (was running at 85c when idle before so as long as I was redoing the heatsink compond I upgraded the CPU, now runs at 40c when idle and faster).... anybody need a T7250 that works? pm me.
    afterwards formated and put windows 7 64bit on it...   since then loaded all the drivers from toshiba website and everthing seems to work fine except it won't recognize the sony DSCW90 camera as a mass storage device like it did before.  The camera still works fine on another system running ubuntu, so I know the camera/cable are good.
    second problem, even with the latest nvidia driver I get a nasty flicker when I enable the SLI mode, seems to be driver related....
    Thanks,
    Robert
    p.s. the instructions lorddethstalker's signature are spot on for how to do the upgrade... thanks.

    I long ago learned when I do an OS install I do a clean one with a complete wipe of the drive... read the instructions and seems about right...
    I seem to recall something from way back with a similar problem when I first got the camera... I just don't remember the solution...
    Clean installs were the way to go in my thinking as well. However, because of some glitches like this, I would mention a couple of things.
    Probably the best way to go, would have been to first have done a full system Toshiba Recovery of your Vista 32 OS, drivers, etc, to your system's factory default out-of-the-box setup. Nice and clean no messy software/hardware updates/installs to mess it up. Then, after that to have done an in place upgrade to Windows 7 32bit. I think you would have had the least amount of trouble from everything I've learned on this forum, and from my own personal experience.
    Next, while I fully understand the hyped benefits of the Windows 7 64bit version, the reality can be somewhat different. First, though it has a 64bit capability, your system was originally designed as a 32bit system, supplied with the appropriate 32 bit OS, and as such, it can only take a maximum of 4GB or RAM. Despite your percieved benefit of seeing/using the full 4GB of RAM, this is probably, at the very least, un-done by the fact that your old 32bit software actually runs faster on Windows 7 32bit. If your system could handle more than 4GB of RAM, and especially if you were willing to invest in new 64bit software, it would have been worthwhile to install Windows 7 64bit. Otherwise, I sincerely doubt that it was.
    The main chipset and its drivers are what handles the USB ports. If you did (re)install those, from the links I gave you before, there's not much else you can do there. While it is not the same problem you are experiencing, the only other suggestions I have is to follow the instructions in Method 3 of this article:
    USB port may stop working after you remove or insert a USB device
    Did you ever try the system reset I mentioned before?
    Good luck.

  • No camera anymore since Mavericks

    Since Mavericks my iMovie 09 doesn't recognize any camera anymore!!
    No isight, no external Logitech Webcam etc.
    I'm running a Mac Book Pro 17' 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM.
    Any Ideas?

    Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then restart Mac and test iMovie again.
    If the problem remains, reinstall iMovie and see if that fixes the problem.

  • I have a Panasonic camcorder PV-GS65 and I used to be able to connect to my iMac and my machine would automatically recognize the camera, rewind the tape, and start the import process as soon as I turned the device on and it was connected.  not anymore

    I have a Panasonic camcorder PV-GS65 and I used to be able to connect to my iMac and my machine would automatically recognize the camera, rewind the tape, and start the import process as soon as I turned the device on and it was connected.  Now my iMac does not even see my device
    Any suggestions?

    You cannot install the apps on the car.
    The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
    If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in.

  • Aperture doesn't recognize my lens anymore

    A couple of weeks ago Aperture suddenly didn't recognize my lens anymore. It has always did before. I use Aperture version 3.2. The lens is Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM, but now it only shows up as "Unknown (174)  135mm". My camera is 5D Mark II. When the lens is mounted, I can go into the camera's menu and read that the camera recognize my lens correctly. So why doesn't Aperture? Is the problem my lens, or is it Aperture?

    Thank you! It was good to hear that it was just a software problem and not my lens. I assume that you have already reported to Apple, but I did it too, so I hope it gets corrected soon.

  • Imovie wont recognize isight camera

    Hi,
    Yes my MacBook Pro ver 1,1 is running 10.6.8
    I have TextExpander set up with the HTML to set the whole Sig bit (pic , iChat Log bit , Date/Time and of course the specs).
    I seem to have remembered to change only part of it.
    Thanks for the Heads up.
    The closest store to me that sells Macs is one called PC World.
    Here that name is part of a group of electrical goods outlets.  (not sure if there is a connection to anywhere else)
    They did not have a Mac Mini on Display when I went with my son to buy his MacBook Pro the other week.
    All running 10.6.7 (but after the 10.6.8 update)
    I did hear one of the Salesmen telling another customer that the lead saleswomen in the area for Macs was paid for by Apple (Black T Shirt and did a demo of Time Machine whilst we were there)

  • HT204135 I update my Mac to version 10.9.2 and now my printer does not work anymore. I did all the software updates and I do not understand why my mac does not recognize the printer anymore?

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

  • IPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

    Hi There!
    The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I don't have a USB card reader. I did try and different port although not a different cable.
    I did remember one additional thing. I plugged my camera in at work to a PC. It was after that, when I came home, that the iPhoto wasn't working when I connected my camera to our iMac/iPhoto at home. I think this may have caused the problem.
    Cheers!

  • We recently updated to Lion, prior to this update we could plug in our Sony Mini DV camera using the appropriate firewire and the iMovie would recognize the camera. This function no longer works after the update to Lion. Any suggestions?

  • IMovie 11 no longer recognizes my camera

    Hi -- I have a SONY HDR-CX580 AVCHD camcorder from which I have been happily transferring my videos into my iMovie 11 (version 9.0.8)  on my MacBook Pro.  A few times it wouldn't work but I've always been able to make it work by trying a few times. 
    Today for some reason that stopped -- iMovie is no longer recognizing or connecting to my camcorder, all I can see is the Facetime HD built in camera.  I've read other forums and tried restarting the computer and connecting the USB cable from the camera to my MacBook Pro in various orders but to no avail.
    I've also followed the instructions to trash the plist files here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061. iMovie is still not recognizing my camera. I'm a little out of ideas at this point.
    I can connect to the camera with iPhoto and download photos no problem.
    Anyone else have this issue and how did you solve it?  Apple tech support people please help!

    Jim,
    Thanks so much for your answer.  I'm trying to avoid that since importing directly makes the video files unpalatable to iMovie... not sure what/how to convert them so I can actually import them into iMovie and work with them.  However I discovered that it's the physical card in my camera that's causing iMovie not to recognize the camera -- I tried another card in the same camera and iMovie immediately connected to the camera.
    So I guess I will have to import the videos from the card and reformat it.  Anyone who's had to do this before I would be grateful for tips on how to transfer from card to computer and then what to convert the videos to so iMovie recognizes the format.
    Thanks again in advance...

  • Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610.  I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in.  How can I get bridge to recognize my camera?  Thanks to anyone who can help!!

    Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610.  I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in.  How can I get bridge to recognize my camera?  Thanks!!

    That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
    Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
    If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

  • My macbook pro doesn't recognize my cameras

    I have a 13 months old macbook and it won't show my fuji S5 pro camera when connected by usb cable. Even after I installed the cameras driver, the macbook still doens't reconize it. It just doens't show on the screen. Now I put my memorycards in a card reader and I bypassed the problem. BUT the other day I tried to connect my SONY handycam model DCR-TRV25E, using the Firewire 400 and guess what: my laptop doens't show the camera on screen. Accoring to the manual my macbook should recognize the camera without installing a driver. Both the Fuji and the Sony are reconized by my PC.
    Now this is the second device that my macbook doens't recognize, what is the matter and can anybody help me solve this problem? Thanks very much!

    I have the same problem did you get the solution and if so what was it Thanks

  • IMOVIE 6 won't recognize DV camera while IDVD is encoding or burning

    I am in the process of encoding and burning a dvd in idvd 6. Given the length of this process, I want to also import some video into an imovie 6 project. However, while idvd is encoding, imovie won't recognize my camera.
    I understand I can stop idvd, but then will I lose the encoding that has already occurred?
    Will imove recognize the camera if I launch idvd after beginning the import into imovie?
    Is there a software fix that will prevent idvd from monopolizing the firewire port when it is just encoding video from an imovie project?
    This is a very irritating conflict given the time encoding takes in idvd.
    Thanks,

    As Sue suggests, it's not surprising that iDVD doesn't want you to access the camera with iMovie. It's not unusual for applications that perform FireWire-intensive functions—as both iDVD and iMovie do—to want to control the device. If iDVD can't control the camera, it may not be able to perform a task you want it to do. (Remember, iDVD offers several camcorder-dependent functions, including OneStep DVDs.)
    While it may be a bit treacherous, you CAN go behind iDVD's back to get it done. The trick is to grab control of the camera before iDVD does. So Quit iDVD after you create, then save the iDVD project, then grab control of the camera with an iMovie HD project, THEN re-open the iDVD project and start encoding. (I tested exporting the iDVD project to a disk image, which is probably safer than burning a physical DVD. Use Disk Utility later to burn the disk image to a physical DVD.)
    The iMovie video looked fine here, but your mileage may vary.

  • My IPad 2 doesn't recognize the camera connection kit

    My ipad2 does nit recognize my camera connection kit. Actually the kit is recognized but when I put the chip or plug in the USB camera cable nothing happens. I'm using a Sony Dsc-Tx10 camera. It worked before but now it doesn't. Please help. I'm trying to upload my pictures to my iPad.
    Thank you,
    Josie

    Check it to make sure the card and tray are free of dirt or dust. (You can blow into the empty slot to clean out any dust.)
    Put the SIM card back in the tray, and slide the tray back into the slot.
