Mac will not recognise camera

Hello
Just got a new Macbook Pro, 13inch. We want to use it to edit films but so far we cannot get the Mac to recognise the video camera. The camera is a Canon xm1 mini dv and it is connected with a firewire. When we plugged it in it does not even appear in the finder and Adobe Premiere does not recognise it either.... Any ideas?

    Hi Sylvia's iMac,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you need to reset the administrator password on your computer. Please follow the instructions in the attached article for information on how to complete this process. The article has instructions for Snow Leopard (10.6) and earlier, but there is also a link within the article for assistance in Lion (10.7) or later.

  • Skype Secondary - will not recognise camera/audio

    Windows XP.  Since upgrading to version 7.7.0.102 when I start up my Secondary account Skype is not recognising my camera/audio and I get the following message under Tools/Options/Video Settings:
    "Can't start video.  Try closing programs qhich might be using your webcam" Any suggestions and help much appreciated.

    Have just done a system restore to before the new version of Skype was installed.  Now back on version 7.5.85.102 and all is working perfectly.
    Could it be that the latest version of Skype is not compatible with Win XP? Hope that this helps others.

    If that does not work either, you may want to book an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free diagnosis as it could be a USB port problem.

  • PowerMac G4 OS 10.4.11 will not recognise RAW images on a SDHC card but it will see JPGs why?

    Question:
    I have a PowerMac G4 OS10.4.11.  I have recently bought a Lumix LX5 camera and it uses an SDHC card.  My Mac will not recognise RAW image files stored on it either by plugging the camera into a USB slot or by using a USB card reader.  Can anyone tell me how to overcome this problem?

    Thanks for that,
    I downloaded RPP and it does indeed open the RAW files and lets me convert them into TIFFs or JPGs which I can then import into Photoshop to play with.  However I'm still confused about why I can't open them in Photoshop directly.  My other camera is a SLR saving to a SanDisk Extreme lll Compact Flash card and I can open RAW files off that on the same computer with no problem using a Photoshop RAW converter plug-in.

  • Installed Lightroom 5.7 Update and Camera RAW 8.7 But still will not recognise my Canon 7D MkK ll even though this is now on the list

    Installed Lightroom 5.7 Update and Camera RAW 8.7 But still will not recognise my Canon 7D MkK ll even though this is now on the list- what can I do?
    Operating System OSx Yosemite IMac.

    What exactly does "not recognise" mean, Kathy?
    You're on Mac (thanks for providing that detail): are you getting a "could not be read" message? If you are, it's a write permissions issue with the destination. Change the permission, and all should be well.

  • 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.

    Sometimes this happens, because the camera is not properly charged. In that case connect the camera to a charger or use a card reader.

    Turn off your printer.
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
    Turn on your printer.
    Any difference?

  • Mac Book Pro/iTunes will not recognise content of freshly burned cd

    Hi
    So...my drive will recognise bought dvds and burned dvds. It will also recognise the content of shop bought cd. I can also burn cds and dvds. HOWEVER, it will not recognise cds burnt for me from other peoples (apple) machines. It simply says that the cd is blank. This is the same whether the cd is an mp3 cd, an audio cd or a datadisc. I have also tried to open the cd's in Quicktime and VLC but it still will not recognise.
    Can anyone help m with this one? Do I just need to get a lens cleaner and if so are lens cleaners that you insert into the machine safe to use ?

    So...
    It would appear that now:
    I cant burn dvds using toast or dvd studio pro.I can however play burnt dvds.
    I cant play burnt cd's using itunes or quicktime but I can burn cds using iTunes.
    Im so puzzled that any help would be brilliant.thank you.

  • Bridge and Photoshop CS4 will not recognise the images shot in NEF file

    Shot in Nikon D810 with NEF file but the images will not recognise with Bridge and Photo
    shop CS4

    That camera was recently supported for the first time by ACR 8.6, which needs at least CS6 to run.  You will never be able to open those raw NEF files in CS4, as there will never be an update for CS4.
    Your choices are to upgrade, or to use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each and every batch of raw NEF files in order to convert them to raw DNGs that you can open in CS4.

  • My itunes is running really slow and will not recognise any of the 2 iphones 1 "3g" and 1 "4" or my ipod touch ?

    my itunes is running very very slow the rest of my pc is fine.
    i tunes will not recognise either of my iphones "3gs,4, nor my ipod touch4".
    i have uninstalled all apple software and re installed itunes .
    i have checked my iphone at a retail store and it was found.
    i have the latest version of ie "ie9" and itunes "10.2.2.12".
    any ideas what to do ?

    Hi Grant, Thanks for the response, much appreciated.
    I agree that it should not really run slow however I would really like to upgrade to Lion anyway and thought that doing it via the SSD route would be  good way to do it as the SSD should help speed things up once I sort out the underlying issue at present. I also wanted to try and load lion but still have Snow Leopard available on the original drive for the time being till I knew that eveything was working well using Lion but I'm not sure if this is possible and how to do to this.
    I have just clicked on 'Verify disk' on HD1 in the utility menu and there is a problem there. It is asking for me to start using another disk such as the mac installation disc but I am not sure where I have put this. Seeing as I have upgraded to SL would this now be the new installation disc and if so, do I just put the disc in the machine and restart?
    Thanks for your help

    If you used your Leopard DVD then it won't work.
    As ScuseMe said only the OSX Snow Leopard DVD contains the drivers for Windows 7.
