Hi, you could reset your SMC.. -> support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Are you trying to Open iPhoto with the Camera? Have you checked our your iPhoto Preference settings?
Which Mac saw the camera?..................L

  • When I choose external editor in iPhoto on my iMac it does not recognize Aperture. When I do the same on my laptop it works? Any ideas?

    When I choose external editor in iPhoto on my iMac it does not recognize Aperture. When I do the same on my laptop it works? Any ideas?

    No idea, but Aperture is not an external editor. Like iPhoto, Aperture is a Photo Manager. It's a database. There is no way to round trip a shot from iPhoto to Aperture and back again like you can with Photshop or an image editor.
    Given that Aperture does pretty much everything that iPhoto does - and a whole lot more -  it begs the question: why not just use it to manage your photos?

  • IMac intel does not recognize Boxlight XP-56d projector

    The intel iMac flat panel computers that we have in our schools do not recognize the Boxlight XP-56d projectors. However, they do recognize the newer Boxlight XP-58Z projectors. We have tried different cables, building back up from install CDs, eliminating preferences, etc. The projector just cycles through inputs. I have made at least 5 calls into tech support with no resolution. I was hoping one of you may have some ideas. Unfortunately, the middle school with the issue has 6 of these rogue projectors.

    Have you checked the manufacturer's site for info or a driver?
    Only info I can find is these were discontinued as of 2004.

  • Imovie 11 does not recognize my panasonic pv-gs150.

    I have a panasonic mini dv camcorder and am attempting to import to imovie 11 via firewire.  imovie will not recognize my camera so I cannot import.  How do import for editing - do I need different software?

    The interface with DV cameras is very flaky. Too much intervening hardware may not work. However, I would assume iMovie could at least see the camera.
    However, if it is an Unknown device, it isn't getting passed to iMovie as a camera.  Try bypassing the Hub and see if it at least identifies.
    I was testing an old Canon DV camcorder to see if I had a problem. I did, but I think it is related to the cabling. I had a 4-pin to 6-pin cable going into an old, portable hard drive, then to a FW400 to FW800 cable, through my daisy-chain of FW800 drives. I got no video, but the controls worked (play, pause, etc.). I then connected directly to the Mac Mini, bypassing the hard drive daisy-chain, but still no video. I'm pretty sure the no-video is a cable problem, so I ordered a 4-pin to FW800.

  • Changed my Apple Password on iMac; iCloud does not recognize new password on iPad.

    I changed my Apple password on my iMac. Now I repeatedly get the message that my Apple password is invalid on my iPad when accessing iCloud or iTunes. I tried syncing my iPad with my iMac. This did not help. Any solutions?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • My iMac/Safari does not recognize I have Flash Player installed

    I have Adobe Flash Player installed - in fact did it more than once to make sure including uninstlaling and redownloading/installing.  But if I go to YouTube, for instance, and try to view a video I keep geting the message I need Adobe FlashPlayer!  YouTube is just an example - doesnt work on any site.
    Any thoughts?

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • IMac does not recognize MacBook Pro over wireless network

    Hi,
    I have an iMac running MAC OS X version 10.5.7. It is connected to the Internet via an Airport Extreme Base Station. I just bought a 13-in MacBook Pro that runs the same version of MAC OS X. I connect it to the same wireless network. The MacBook Pro recognizes the iMac (there is an icon of the iMac in the Shared Section of the Finder window). The iMac, however, does not recognize the MacBook Pro. If you have come across this problem and have a solution, I would be most grateful for your advice.
    Regards,
    MTL

    I'm having a similar problem with an Intel iMac and a G4 iBook (both running Leopard 10.5.7) since the recent replacement of the iMac's hard drive. Occasionally the iMac will 'see' and allow me to connect to the laptop, but often the connection just drops out, and then I can't find the iBook any more. The iBook, on the other hand, can't detect the iMac at all. I know I have all the settings right - before the HD replacement, everything worked fine in both directions. Interestingly, in the 'WINS' settings in network preferences, the iMac's 'name' bears no relation (just a list of numbers and letters) to the computer's actual name, while the iBook uses the first word of its own name. It's frustrating, as I have to synchronise my work between the two on a daily basis. I can't get them to connect via ethernet cable either.

  • My AppleTV does not recognize my iMAC iTunes library

    I have 2 AppleTV 3 connected via Ethernet. I have 2 desktops: one iMAC with OSX10.9 and a Win8. Both are connected to the same Airport Extreme. On both latest iTunes with home sharing is running. Now the wired thing: AppleTV always recognizes my Win8, even if its sleeping. My iMAC it does not recognize even if its not slepping, I do have to start files manually on my iMAC iTunes and send it to the AppleTV in order to be able to watch it. If the iMAC is sleeping (but not turned off!) it does not even recognize the home sharing, if iMAC is awake AplleTC rdcognizes it, but does not get beyond the selection of the iMAC and shows the waiting icon all the time. I went through all the (very poor) Apple support sites, haven't found anything that helps.
    Also the Remote App on my iPhone or iPAD is not connecting to the iMAC, but to the Win8.
    I had simialr problems before, it seems whenever there is an iMAC or AppleTV update it chages whether its working or not.  Anyone having a similar problem plus solution?
    Thanks!!

  • IMovie 6.0.3 does not recognize built in iSight Camera on new iMac

    New iMac, Intel, OS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.
    Built in Camera works with Photo Booth, the new iMovie 7.1.3 and iChat.
    iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 does not recognize the camera. Opening a new project results in a No Camera Connected error. I have tried selecting various options in the video format drop down when creating a new project. I have repaired permissions, tried it under various users, removed the imovie plist, reinstalled imovie (both 6.0.3 and 6.0.4) without success. All 10 of the new computers are exhibiting this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    That is not an option that I can select on the imac's. On my iBook under 10.5.4 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 I can click on the triangle next to the camera icon and select the built in iSight camera. On the new iMacs that does not work. The built in iSight is not listed as an option.

  • ITunes does not recognize password on iMac, but I can sign in to post here, sign in on my iPad, and sync my iPad to my iMac

    If I want to sign in to this message board, I can do so.  I can also sign in on my iPad to download updates, purchase new apps and songs, etc.  And I can sync my iPad to iTunes on my iMac.
    But when I open iTunes on my iMac, it asks for my password and I can't sign in.  What is causing this problem with iTunes on my iMac repeatedly asking for my password when I open iTunes?
    This is very frustrating.  I am also worried that I won't be able to sync when my new iPad arrives March 16.  Help!

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password in iTunes on my iMac that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    What is messing people up is that when iTunes does not recognize the correct password, people are attempting other passwords.  Those other passwords are all incorrect.  The problem, as you stated, is that the password was entered correctly the first time but because of iTunes having issues it does not recognize it.
    People, just keep entering the password you know is correct.  It will eventually recognize it, or at least this works for me.  If this still does not work, reset your password (but then you may still have to enter it repeatedly in iTunes). 
    Apple needs to fix this.

  • I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • IMovie (and iMac) does not recognize device(s)

    Hello and thanks for reading.  I know this topic is like beating a dead horse but this one is unique.  I'm a professional editor and I couldn't figure this out so any help would be appreciated.  Here's the play by play:
    I edit using FCP 5.1.4 and have for years.  I've had the same set up running for years and do high volume editing.
    I have a chain of 4 Lacie drives, all connected by firewire.
    At the end of that string, I have my tape player for capturing footage, a Sony GV-HD700, which then goes on to the TVs, DVD players, etc.
    Also the end of that string, I also have a disc burner for making DVDs.
    So it goes: iMac > Lacie #1 > Lacie #2 > Lacie #3 > Lacie #4 > Sony tape player & DVD burner > TVs, VCRs, etc.
    Yesterday, I was in a rush and the DVD burner was going slow so I unplugged it from the end of the string of Lacie drives and plugged it directly into the back of the computer to see if it would burn faster.
    It didn't, so I plugged it back into the end of the Lacie string.
    At that point, Lacie #4 became unrecognizable to the computer and therefore so was the tape player, which is further down the chain.
    When I plugged the tape player high up the chain, into Lacie #3, it still was not recognized.
    I plugged the tape player (Sony GV-HD700) directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
    I took the Sony GV-HD700 into our other editing bay and it was still not recognized.
    I pulled out my camera (Sony HDR-FX1000) and plugged it directly into the back of the original computer...recognized just fine.
    I plugged Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into the back of Lacie #2...recognized just fine.
    I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...recognized just fine.
    I have a big deadline so I said "Screw it." and was just going to capture from the camera for the time being.
    I reset the Lacie drive chain, plugged the Camera into the back of Lacie #4 (just like the original setup) and BANG: Lacie #4 and the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera was not recognized.
    I plugged the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
    I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...still not recognized.
    I thought it might be a Final Cut Pro issue so I pulled up iMovie and it does not recognize any device connected to the computer even though I'm looking directly at it plugged in.
    The entire iMac has lost the ability to recognize devices that I've used for years.  I've now lost the ability to capture footage and I'm running out of time.  It's almost as if the devices were getting infected by one of the Lacie drives (I think Lacie #4).  Is that even possible?  Has anyone ever heard of something like this?  I don't know if it's something I need to change on the iMac to recognize them again, or if it's a setting on the device to reset the connection, or if somehow the Lacie drive corrupted the devices and made them unrecognizable to iMacs.
    It's very, very weird.
    Thanks for your help.
    27" iMac (2009)
    OS X 10.8.5
    Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
    Tape player: Sony GV-HD700
    Camera: Sony HDR-FX1000
    I've had this setup for years so I don't know what type firewire it is.

  • My iMac does not recognize or see an external drive.

    Ref.: External USB M-DISC DVD+-RW CD RW Burner Writer Drive For Apple MacBook Air Pro iMac

    Thank you in advance.

    The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
    Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.

  • How come IMAC does not recognize my Seagate hard drive that I used to use on my PC...I have a lot of documents on this that I need to use

    Could you help me, I would like to use my Seagate hard drive that I used on my PC on my IMAC but It does not recognize it and I have a lot of documents I need on this small hard drive....

    Please provide more information. Do you mean the drive cannot be seen in Finder or on the Desktop? If it is visible in the Finder sidebar but not the Desktop you just have a setting to correct Finder - Preferences - General Tab and make sure External Disks is checked.
