Issues with my AVCHD camera connecting to iMovie 08 with upgrade to Leopard

I have 2 Intel Mac's and both experience identical problems. when connecting via USB, the finder mounts and sees the camera (AVCHD hard disk camera) but iMovie doesn't respond. When I click on "Import from Camera" it uses the iSight camera. The camera iMovie 08 and Tiger all got along in harmony. WIth Leopard there seems to be an issue as iMovie can't seem to make the connection. Anyone else experiencing this?
I have tried the usual, unplug, re-start, different usb cable, plugging the camera in with iMovie open then again with the app. closed, connecting the camera with power off then turning the power on, having the power on and plugging into the computer all resulting in the same outcome: Mounts in the finder not in iMovie 08. Both iMovie and Leopard have fully been updated to the most recent versions.

Issue was the battery. I needed to not only plug in the camera but remove the battery too!

  • Camera connection not working with my camera

    Camera connect not working with my Sony boggie camera

    The Bloggie will not work because it draws too much power from the USB port on the iPad.  The solution is to interpose a powered USB hub between the Bloggie and the iPad - connect the Bloggie to the powered hub, then connect the hub to the ipad accessory.  Works fine with my 3D Bloggie.

  • Sony DCR-HC62 camcorder won't connect to iMovie with express card adapter

    I got a Sony HC62 Mini DV video camera but it will not connect to iMovie. Since I don't have a firewire 6 pin on my Mac (only a 9 pin) i got an express card adapter. So I am using 4 pin (camera) to 6 pin (Express card) firewire. I have no other devices to test the express card but i tested the firewire and the video camera that I got and it works fine with a Windows XP computer. I have also talked with sony and I ended up with either there is something wrong with the express card or the iMovie software.

    Well there is nothing there because the express card is listed under a PCI card. The express card is recognized when inserted but that is it will not notice the camera attached to the express card. since i couldn't test the card i went and got the card replaced, but still with no luck.
    Would returning the express card and buying a firewire 4 pin to 9 pin be worth it? (given that i can get one since i can only find one company that makes them and they are a wholesales only) This way i can connect it directly to my mac's firewire 9 pin port.

  • Log and Transfer not working with Sony AVCHD camera

    Hi, I have a new Sony AVCHD camera. The HDR-XR200 120GB hard drive model. It captures in 1920x1080i, and connects to Mac via USB.
    FCP does not recognize the camera when I open the log and transfer window.
    Can someone help me with seq setting and easy set up setting or other setting for it to work.
    I am happy to import footage into FCP with AIC or prores 422. Just want to edit all the footage I have of my so's international soccer tournament held in Australia last week. I also have Final Cut Express on my Mac if that works better. This is very frustrating trying to get it to work.
    Cheers
    Bryan

    I use a Panasonic AVCHD, which FCP doesn't recognise. Anyway I've spent months playing around because this little camera blows my Sony V1 out of the water in sheer quality.
    Best thing is just get hold of a copy of Toast 10, you can then simply drag your .mts files into this and encode to whatever you want, I edit in pro res LT, but Toast will even encode it to HDV if you want to end up on tape(Even this result still blows the Sony HDV apart)
    FCP is very fussy about even noticing the very existance of .mts files, so I wouldn't waste my time, scratching my head.
    By the way, I use Firewire 800 drives, not USB 2 and also in the name of God BACK UP YOUR MTS FILES ON A NEW HARD DISC CALLED "BACKUP OF .MTS FILES!" LOL

  • Will the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit work with my iPhone 4s (7.0.4)?

    The online 'Chat' representative told me the Camera Connection Kit would not work with my iPhone 4s.

    No
    You can look this up in the Apple store.
    It tells you that it is only compatible with ipad

  • Ipad Camera connection kit problem with SD card

    I have a gen3 ipad and have the camera connection kit which consists of 2 connectors. 1 is usb and the other is SD card. The usb when hooked to camera works just fine but the SD adater does not see any sd card I put in.

    The SD reader will only see photos on the card if they are formatted in a specific manner. A top level folder named DCIM and all files need to have a 8 character name.
    Have you tried to take photos on the card then try to read them with the CCK?

  • Will the camera connection kit work with the iPhone 4s and iOS 5?

    I haven't been able to find anything in the forum regarding the iphone 4S / iOS 5 and the camera connection kit; did any of the developers work with this piece of hardware when testing iOS 5, if you aren't allow to answer I understand, I'll just find out for myself on Friday.....

    grrr...i love apple products, but that the camera connection kit does not work with an iphone 4(s) make me angry about some apple philosophies. it is a good example of user restrictions from apple which make me feel like i am in a kindergarten.
    that the camera connection kit does not work with my iphone, makes no sense to me.
    hardware quite the same like ipad, nice screen with balanced colors (iphone looks good compared to my calibrated eizos) and screen size more than enough to do some basic edits.
    would be great sometimes to import and post/email photos from my camera, when i am on the road.
    i do not always want to carry the ipad with me.

  • IPad camera connection kit compatibility with SD cards

    Hi there,
    I am really hoping that someone can help me out, I am going mad!
    I am gong on holiday for 5 weeks and want to be able to get photos from my camera to iPad while away.
    So I bought the Apple iPad camera connection kit. There was nothing that mentioned that it is not compatible with certain SD cards, so it seemed ideal.
    I don't have a fancy camera, just a simple Sony Cybeshot, the card I have is 'SanDisk memory stick pro duo 2 gb magic gate'. The card is slightly smaller than the slot on the apple card reader but seems to fit into it fairly well. However, when I plug it in nothing happens, not even an error message- this lead me to believe that it was a fault with the equipment...or am I wrong- could it be that the card is not compatible??
    I have tried everything, changing the format on the card via the camera, taking cover off iPad to ensure connection is solid and turning iPad on and off again.
    The other thing is that my camera does not seem to have anything to attach a USB cable to.
    PLEASE help me, before iPad AND connector go out of the window!!
    Spec-
    iPad 2 64 GB
    SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 2GB magicGate
    Camera Sony Cybershot
    Version 4.3.5 (8L1)
    Thank you

    An SD card is a Secure Digital type memory card.  SD stands for Secure Digital, not Sandisk. A memory stick pro duo 2 gb magic gate
    is a Memory Stick Pro duo type of card.
    They are different types of cards. the Camera connection kits only works with the Secure Digital type.
