ISight not recognised by iMovieHD

I have an imac G5 with iSight built in. My iMovie HD 5.0.2 does not recognise my iSight. iSight works fine with Photo Booth and in iChat (video preview, I've not actually used ichat for real). The instructions say click on camera mode button and select iSight - what camera mode button? Where is this button. I've reloaded iMovie, restarted the mac etc. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Rob:
No, I believe you need iMovie HD 6...

  • External isight not recognised by 8core

    I want to use ichat again because Final cut pro has the new ichat theatre feature which is very handy for me to communicate with my clients.
    I did not use it for a while. Tried to set it up again but now my 8 core os 10.5.8 does not "see" the external isight.
    I tried all firewire ports on the front and back of the machine. Disconnected all other connections ( motu audio interface , matrox mxo mini 2 ) Tried another firewire cable.
    Resetted p and vram. Restarted my 8 core several times in different situation with the cam connected/disconnected.
    I don t see the green light on the cam when I connect it to my 8core. System profiler doe not see it either.
    The isight itself is ok.
    When I connect it to my macbook pro the light turns green. The cam is seen by my laptop.....
    I am lost ....
    Anything else that I can try to make it work again?
    kind regards

    Thanks ... Is this firewire card a pci card? If so then I have a problem...
    You're welcome, Jane.
    Yes, the FW Card I mentioned (the ones users can add) would be a PCI card for your MacPro.
    To resolve the resulting problem, after verifying that:
      • your iSight actually works with some other Mac using the same Firewire cable, and
      • you have tried connecting iSight directly to each of your MacPro's FW ports, and
      • you have ruled out possible software and hardware FW conflicts in MacPro, and
      • your MacPro's system profiler does NOT show iSight as a FW device, and
      • you have reset your MacPro's Firewire, then
    the solution to your problem is to have your AASP service your MacPro to correct the problem with your Mac's internal firewire circuitry or connections. Because you have no room to add other cards, it seems that your next best choice is for the technician to repair the FW that is already in your Mac.
    Although I am not confident that they will resolve your problem without professional help, if you have not already tried them, and if you believe there is any possibility that your trouble is related to your OS software, here are two alternatives you could try before taking your 8-core to an AASP:
    (1) First, backup critical info. Then use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Next, download and apply the 10.5.8 COMBO update:
      http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    Repair permissions IMMEDIATELY again after the restart that finishes the installation.
    Then test iSight again. Repeat the Troubleshooting suggestions if necessary.
    Although I am not hopeful based on your particulars, properly applying the latest Combo Update has helped some users correct a variety of strange problems. It costs nothing but some time to try the Combo Update before relinquishing your 8-core while it is being repaired, so this may be something you want to consider.
    (2) If the Combo Update does not help you, you can also try reinstalling Mac OS. After reinstalling 10.5.x, you can use the Combo process above to update to the current Leopard version in one update.
    Of course, neither of these options will help a hardware problem. Given your lack of slots to add a Firewire card, an Apple Technician is my best suggestion if nothing else works for you.

  • IChat 5.0.1 will not recognise my ISight camera

    Can anyone help? For some reason IChat will not recognise my ISight camera. Photo Booth and IMovie recognise the camera fine and it appears in the System Profiler under USB. Any suggestions

    Hi,
    I see I asked a silly question that you had already posted info about.
    Sorry about that.
    If a PRAM rest has not done it and it works elsewhere (other apps) does it work in other Mac User Accounts ?
    If iChat works in another Mac User Account then deleting a .plist or two for iChat should sort it.
    If it does not work and you have not got the Disk handy the next option would be to Run the COMBO Installer of the Last Update to the OS that you did.

  • LED cinema display + Mac Pro + Boot camp = build in iSight not working

    Hallo,
    I hope that anybody has the same situation. I bought a Mac Pro and the LED cinema display. Installed boot camp and windows vista. Now I recognized that the iSight camera build in the LED cinema display is not always working. Mostly not. Sometimes the iSight is recognised but as written mostly not . May be the USB is out of specification. I want to give the display back and buy a new one. Before i go this way I want to be sure that normally this configuration is working. Could anybody please confirm this?
    Thank you, Frank

    Thank you for your quick response.
    You're welcome, frankiko
    Is it true that in your opinion it should work?
    No.
    I will try your suggestions ... send back the LED cinema display... it seems to be working with MacOS.
    Your new information is helpful. Because your system, including iSight, consistently work properly when running Mac OS X, your LED cinema display, iSight, Mac, and Mac OS X, are obviously working properly.
    Although I do not use Windows®, the problem you describe must be with your Windows® installation and/or configuration. Therefore, returning the display will not resolve your problem unless you plan to use some different camera that you know works with your Windows® installation.
    Before you return your LED display, you may wish to consider any of the following that may be relevant to the system you are using:
    (1) If you use Mac OS X 10.5 Boot Camp with Vista: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1606
    (2) If you use Mac OS X 10.6 Boot Camp with Vista: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777
    (3) If it is an option in your version of Boot Camp, have you tried repairing the Boot Camp drivers? See your Boot Camp Installation Guide for help on how to repair the drivers and reinstall a specific driver if necessary.
    (4) If you have not already seen this, you may find other help in Apple's Boot Camp Support page.
    (5) After you have any possible Boot Camp issues resolved, and especially if you are having any other problems with Vista, check to be certain that Vista was installed and configured properly.
    (6) If you get no better suggestions here, the last answers in both the Boot Camp 2.0, Mac OS X 10.5: Frequently asked questions and the Boot Camp 3.0, Mac OS X 10.6: Frequently asked questions tell you that you can get phone-based assistance or online support for Boot Camp from Apple.

  • Windows Vista - iTunes not recognising iPod!

    iTunes is not recognising my iPod and the iPod Setup Assistant isn't showing automatically. Can anyone help. I have a new laptop with Window Vista is this operating system the problem? Can help would be appreciated. I can import music into iTunes OK and purchase music from iTunes itself I just can't get iTunes to recognise my iPod!

    Install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home Edit or similar.
    This tool would provide all hardware details about your notebook.
    It would list all devices and chipset name too.
    I think its Intel chipset so you could find the driver on the Intel page

  • Ipod not recognised by Windows, USB device not recognised

    Hi hope someone can help
    I have recently received my ipod back from Applecare who have sent the ipod back in ' working order ' but it will no longer be recognised by my windows. It says USB device not recognised and i cant find, nor will it install drivers that i located on the ipod updater etc.
    I have tried several methods on this forum but none seem to work.
    The letter from mycare says the iPod is formatted for a computer operating Mac OS X. Although i stated wi use Windows. But the leter states this can be changed bu installing the updater, but this wont make a diff as comp still wont regonise the device after i have followed there instructions. Any advice?
    Thanks

    I'm not really up on the complexities of the Windows OS but try this tip I picked up a while back, hopefully it might help.
    "USB Device not Recognized in Windows".
    1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click the System icon.
    3. Click the Hardware tab.
    4. Click Device Manager.
    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    6. Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    7. Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
    8. Click the Power Management tab.
    9. Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
    10. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    11. Restart the computer.

  • Ipod not recognised on either of 2 computers

    My ipod is not recognised by windows or itunes.
    Tried it on my friend's computer, and again not recognised by windows or itunes.
    ipod plays ok, so I assume there's a problem with the USB port on the ipod itself.
    Not found any useful help on the support site.
    I don't imagine this can be repaired - any ideas?

    Success! I reset my ipod (menu + center) and restarted my laptop, and now my ipod connects again.
    Have you tried that?
    THANK YOU! I have spent 4 hours doing everything the website said, including unistalling all of Itunes versions, going into Hardware Update, going into My Computer and "managing" it, emptying my TEMP folder, and finally I had the massive brainstorm to go into the discussion board, and reseting the iPod did it! You are a savior!
    BTW, to the poster who asked if the new version did it. Absolutely. I downloaded it last night and everything gave up the ghost immediately after.

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

    I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
    Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
    I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
    I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
    I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
    Please can anybody help.

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

    Hi all,
    When I plug my iPhone 4S into my Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X Lion  10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.3 does not recognise the device.  The iPhone is running iOS 5.1.1.
    I have read the steps within http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier) and unfortunately they do not help.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you

    Restore the phone as New, and do not reload your backup. If you still have a problem with it you have a hardware problem.

      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
