MBA 11" not recognizing Canon camera

My Canon S95 camera is recognized normally on my home iMac and iPhoto opens. However, I am now traveling in Europe with my new MacBook Air 11" and find that camera is not recognized and does not appear on USB device list under Sys Profiler. Have tried resetting SMC and NVPR.
No other problems with camera or MBA.

I have no problem with my S95 and 11" MBA. Could the problem be with the camera's memory card (I use sandisk)?

No luck importing from SonyHandycam DCR-DVD650? I am using USB import to my MacBook that is running OSX 10.6.8. The MacBook is not recognizing the camera. Any ideas what the issue could be?

I am not having any success in importing my videos from Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 650 to my mac book. I am using the USB connection. The macbook is not recognizing the camera. The macbook is running OSX 10.6.8. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2361 There's a recommendation that when using this camera to record in the 'Standard' format instead of VR format. So if you know what the setting was you used to record the disk that's a starting point.
According to this website the camera should be compatible with iMovie '11
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
So here's some steps to take to get the Mac to recognize your camera.
1. Try it more than a few times, sometimes it can take 2-4 attempts to get iMovie to recognize a camera for the first time.
2. Always get the power adapter for your camera out of the bag. Hook it to the wall outlet, then plug your camera into that. Don't run it off the battery.
3. With the camera plugged into the wall, in DV playback mode. Hit play and just let it play video out continuously, then reboot the Mac. As soon as you see the desktop, launch iMovie. Go to File Menu > Import from Camera and see if the Capture window opens with your video playing through.
4. Make sure iPhoto doesn't try to launch itself automatically when it detects your camera has been connected to the Mac. Sometimes it tries to steal the videos off of a camera and 'blocks' iMovie from seeing the camera when it's attached. So make sure iPhoto hasn't interecepted your camera and is not running at all when you launch iMovie
No guarantees, but some things to try

Onlocation is not recognizing my camera

I have a Panasonic HPX300 and im shooting on dvcprohd connected via firewire, and when i turn OL on it reads "no video input found. connect a camera to your computer, or check your cameras connection and power" I have my camera on PC Mode. any help would be appreciated.
thanks

It's not that FMLE is not recognizing your camera.... FMLE is not recognizing your capture device (the iGrabber).
Just because a capture device can capture video as a file onto your computer doesn't mean that the device is made to deliver throughput video as a "live camera" source. There is a big difference between recording to a file, and passing video through as a source.
An inexpensive caputre device that FMLE can see is the Dazzle Video Creator Platinum HD. If you have a FireWire connection on your computer I would strongly suggest using the Canopus ADVC110 capture device (works like a champ -- no issues or errors).
If you change your capture device out to one that allows other software (like FMLE, XSplit, Wirecast, etc.) to see the video as a "source" then you'll be in luck. iGrabber simply does not have that capability. This isn't the fault of Adobe, it simply wasn't designed by iGrabber to be used in this manner.

I'm using a Sony HDR-CX160 with an iGrabber connected via USB. FMLE is not recognizing the camera. Any suggestions?

LR 4.2 not recognizing Canon 5D MK III files

I have LR 4.2 installed. I just tried to import my 5D MK III images for the first time and is gave me a camera not recognized (409) error. From what I can see the 5 MK III was supposed to be supported from 4.1 on. Did the tether fix in 4.2 break the native image support? If not, does anyone have 4.2 installed that does recognize MK III files (within the past week)? I ran the update check and it reported that I had the latest version installed and no updates were available.
Thanks

Lightroom 4.2 should have no problems recognising and importing Canon 5DMk3 files. Actually, I imported around 200 such files late last night. So, there is something else going on with your installation. Have you tried deleting the Lr preference file ?

Mac is not recognizing my camera AGAIN

Can someone, PLEASE, give me an answer?
Image Capture, iPhoto and Aperture stopped recognizing my camera. The camera blinks while connected as always, I can see it in the System Profiler. In About This Mac, under the USB section, I can see that Canon Digital Camera is showing.
The curious thing is that when I turn off my camera, then quickly turn in on I can see it flashing in Image Capture for like 1 second and then "no camera connected" appears again.
What could cause this problem? I once had the same problem, formatting my camera solved it, but this time I tried it a few times and it didn't work.

"when I turn off my camera, then quickly turn in on I can see it flashing in Image
Capture for like 1 second and then "no camera connected" appears"
Once ejected, a disk/camera has to be replugged in.
But this doesn't seem to be the problem. When connected properly
the cam is showing up in Finder and ATMac. I believe the three
apps aren't seeing your pics because possibly the correct camera
storage setting may not be selected in the Finder - although device
itself is connected and present. When my camera connects to the
Mac I always need to select one of several options - I select DCIM
and that turns out to be my pics. Good luck.

IMovie 08 not recognizing Canon Vixia HF100

I have had my canon Vixia hf100 for over a year and purchased iLife 08 (with iMovie 08) last year and had no problems with uploading my videos at first.
However, I am no longer able transfer my videos from my camcorder into imovie 08. It will not recognize the camera, and any time I try to do a manual transfer of the files, it tells me they are not movie files. Why would imovie STOP recognizing my camera that it used to recognize? I'm wondering if something changed with one of my software updates that changed imovie and somehow made it incompatible. I would rather not purchase imovie 09. Any insight would be appreciated.

Sorry I didnt mean to offend with simplicity, but unless you do the right (silly as it may seem) sequence it doesn't recognize the Canon! One thing done out of order and you must start over again! I did leave one step out, sorry! When the camera is turned on, you will get a camera screen to select the "play mode". Use the joystick on LCD display panel to select PC mode and depress select button.
iMovie '08 then detects and lets you download all clips from the camera.
Tip: You must use the Movie folder in your user "parental guidance" ok'd user area. No other folder works!
And I do have all apple software updates on that computer. If this still doesn't solve your problem, I purchased Leopard by DVD from Apple and upgraded Tiger. However my new Leopard native computer did not have iMovie '08, still don't know why! So my success has been on the computer using the Leopard DVD upgrade! Perhaps the system upgrade and the native Leopard misses the boat, which would cause your continued problem.
Sincerely trying to help!

Iphoto and image capture not recognizing kodak camera

Hello!
I am having trouble uploading photos from my Kodak easyshare dx4530 to iphoto 6.0.5. This is a new thing as I have uploaded many times before. The camera is not recognized by iphoto or by image capture when the usb is connected. The camera and usb work fine when connected to my husband's ibook G4.
I tried moving the preferences to the trash (com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.imagecaptureapp.plist) and this did not work. There is only 1 account on the computer and it is the admin account.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

pb35:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the camera recognized by System Profiler? Did you run any updates before this problem began? A first cut would be a reinstall of the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
I'd create a second, non-admin, very vanilla account and see if the camera is recognized there by iPhoto or IC. A second plain account is a very good troubleshooting tool to see if the problem is with what's been added to the primary account.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

Aperture not recognizing Canon G-10 RAW Files?

All of a sudden Aperture is not recognizing my G-10 RAW files. It did yesterday, but not today. I just downloaded the new aperture update thinking that might change things, but no go. Just says "unsupported file format"
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Shane

What is your import workflow? Are you (appropriately) uploading images first to the hard drive before importing into Aperture? Was the card (appropriately) reformatted in-camera before shooting the new batch of pix?
Direct camera-to-Aperture or card-to-Aperture workflows can be problematic, as can using the computer for erasing card images or reformatting cards.

IPhone 3GS not recognized as camera on Windows XP

I connect my iPhone 3GS to my laptop to sync and it is not recognized as a digital camera and cannot download my photos to back up. Rebuilt my laptop in the mean time and it recognized the camera on the phone, but when downloading the photos, it crashes half way through. Any ideas?

Premiere Pro CS3 not recognizing Canon devices for capture

I have used Premiere elements 2.0, no problem. Now with CS3 in the capture video panel it says "device offline". I can capture using windows movie maker, not sure why not my Canon GL2 or my XL2 for that matter, I've tried them both. I am using windows xp.

First, does XP recognize the camera(s), when attached by IEEE1394 and turned on? If yes, we'll get to that. If no, then you likely have a problem with either your IEEE1394 controller, XP, or with the camera(s). With it plugged in and turned on, go to Control Panel>System>Device Manager and see if it appears there, and if there are error messages.
If your XP does recognize the camera, you might try these little "tricks" gathered by Jim Simon:
1.) Plug in the camera, but do not turn it on. Launch PrPro and choose Capture. Turn on camera.
2.) Plug in the camera, but do not turn it on. Launch PrPro, but do not choose Capture yet. Now, turn on camera and then choose Capture.
3.) Plug in the camera, and turn it on. Launch PrPro and choose Capture.
4.) Any other variations of these that you can think of.
It seems that different cameras behave differently, so you may have to experiment to see if one proceedure works for you.
If none of this works, and XP sees the camera(s) correctly, then I am out of ideas.
Good luck,
Hunt

Aperture & Lion not recognizing Canon 1D Mark IV videos

Upgraded the 17" MBP i7 to Lion.
When I import 1D Mark IV photos and videos from a CF card, it takes forever if there are videos on the card. It's fine if there's not. And when the videos come in to Aperture, they're not recognized as video files (even though they're .MOV files). Quicktime Player plays them fine.
Did 10.7 nuke something from Canon that I have to re-install?

The issue seems to be that /Library/Quicktime had a lot of outdated Quicktime stuff. I noticed QT is now mostly in /System/Library/Quicktime, so I deleted everything in /Library/Quicktime and now it seems to work.

Yosemite not recognizing Logitech Camera

Title says it all
Not recognizing my Logitec HD cam
Suggestiobns?
Thanks,

Thanks Brendan. It was a case of trying to swap out some bad drives, reconfigure and update to Yosemite all at once and the cam has been used just fine for several years
It seems that either a connection was loose or it was particular about being in a direct USB port on the Mac Pro rather than an extension strip.
At any rate, swapped it around and everything is now functioning as it should
Thanks agin for your interest

Cannon EOS 40D and a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite.My Mac is not recognizing my camera anymore

My Mac recognized the camera last night and imported the pictures I took. This morning, I cannot upload new photos. (I did drop my camera, but it works fine -THANKFULLY - so I am not sure why that would make a difference). My Mac is not even recognizing that the camera is plugged into it. I went into ulitities and my camera is not showing under the USB when it is plugged in. I have put in a new battery in my camera and rebooted my Mac and nothing is working. I appreciate any idea you have on how to fix this!

The cameras are fairly rugged and can take a few knocks (they're not that fragile)... but obviously there are limits. So if the knock or drop was hard enough, I suppose it's possible that you've damaged the camera. Does the body show signs of physical damage (did it fall hard enough to damage the body?) If you are using the Mac's "System Information" utility to check the devices connected via USB then it is important that you connect the camera BEFORE you start the "System Information" utility. This is because that utility only scans the connected devices when it is started and does not re-scan if devices are connected after starting. There is a menu option under "File" -> "Refresh Information" (or press Command+R) to refresh if the camera was connected after starting. If the utility does not show the device then something is wrong with the connection (e.g. loose or bad cable, bad port, bad hub etc.). I have gone through a number of external USB hubs with my own Macs. It took a while before I finally found a hub that worked reliably. I would frequently have devices that would show up in the device list when DIRECTLY connected to my Mac, but would NOT show up if connected to a hub (even "powered" hubs). For this reason, if you are having any connectivity issues, please make sure that you are connected the camera directly to the computer. Remember, there are no drivers needed for the device to show up -- so if it doesn't show up it is not a software problem. As a backup plan, it is possible to directly import the images from the computer into the computer without using the camera. I think the 40D uses Compact Flash, but you can get an inexpensive Compact Flash reader (I have a Lexar USB 3.0 reader that has both a CF card slot as well as an SD card slot.) This is actually my preferred method to perform imports because direct reading from the card is faster than transfering via the camera's USB connection.
