My mac doesn't recognize my new Canon Vixia HF R600 camcorder, any ideas why?

I just purchased a Canon Vixia HF R600 camcorder. I'm trying to transfer the video files (recorded in MP4 format) to my iMac (OS X Lion 10.7.5) with the USB cable that came with my camera. After connecting and powering on my camera, I see the words "USB connection" on my camcorder screen, but absolutely nothing on my iMac. With my old camcorder, it would show up as an external device on my desktop/in finder and I could transfer files to my mac and then view them either with Quicktime or import into iMovie. But my computer doesn't seem to know that anything new is connected. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Actually iMovie 10 requires Mac OS 10.9 or 10.10. if you update the OS you can download iMovie 10 for free and iMovie 9 will still be available to use. iMovie 10 is a big change from iMovie 9 and some capabilities have been removed.
I am nevertheless a little surprised that when you connect your camera via USB that it does not appear as an external drive on your Mac (check in the Finder for a volume probably called "Untitled"). I assume you have read the info that came with your camera that might well include how to connect to a Mac.

LR 4 doesn't recognize my new Canon 500mm MK II lens.

Just wondering why LR 4 doesn't recognize my new Canon 500 mm f4 MK II lens?
Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Jim

Sweet lens, DdeGannes is correct. See review here:
Lens Review
No distortion to speak of and Color Abberrations are corrected automatically (under Color Tab), so you just need to correct vignetting. It looks like the Canon 600mm F4 IS profile in LR4.2 will be within .2EV:
Vignetting Comparison
Move your cursor over the small white arrow to compare the 500mm F4 IS II with the 600mm F4 IS.
In LR select the 600mm F4 IS profile, set Distortion to '0' and set Vignetting to 100, then click on Setup > Reset Lens Profile Defaults. It should use this profile as the default for future image imports shot with the 500mm F4 IS II.

My iPad doesn't ring when someone calls on face time. Any idea why?

I have two iPads... both are brand new. When I use face time to call from iPad "1" to iPad "2" everything works fine. When I call from iPad "2" to iPad "1" iPad "1" doesn't ring. The screen lights up with the 'accept call' or reject call buttons, and if I hit accept, it works fine. But it doesn't ring.
Both iPads have the exact same settings. I have turned face time off, powered down, restarted and turned face time back on... nothing. And no offense to Apple's website, but I can't find anything that helps.
Any ideas out there? Or will I end up having to restore the original settings and re-install all of the apps and data?
Thanks...

New Macbook pro is slowing down.any ideas why?

Hi There,
I bought a macbook pro last July and in the last week I have noticed it slowing down, loading webpages takes longer etc.... I updated to yosemite recently but I am not sure that is the issue. Could it be something to do with cache, someone was trying to download movies on it so maybe I have a small virus?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Read my earlier reply about virus.
You can forget about virus
You don't have one
I suggest you download and install EtreCheck from http://etresoft.com/etrecheck

My Mac doesn't recognize my Canon MVX330i

Hi,
I have just joined the ranks of mac users, days rather than weeks, so my question may sound silly. I am trying to import video from my canon mvx330i(tape not card) but my mac doesn't recognize the camera, let alone import it. According to the tutorial, I should just connect to the usb port and away I go, but alas no joy. Am I missing something??

Tape based cameras such as yours require a firewire connection, not a USB connection. The USB out on the camera is used to transfer any digital stills you have taken on the storage card. The video, because of the way DV works, must be sent to the computer via firewire.
If you have a recent Mac, you will probably need to get a firewire cable that plugs from your firewire 800 port on your computer to your camera's firewire port (on Canon cameras I believe the port is labeled "DV").
These cables are available at camera/electronic/computer stores and on the internet.
Hope this helps.

FCE Doesn't Recognize My New Cam

Final Cut Express doesn't recognize my new video camera that I just plugged into the computer. Is there a thing I'm supposed to do within FCE to make the camera recognized? Thanks.

You should specify, what camcorder you try to connect. If it is tape based then there should not be any problem, but with AVCHD you can expect difficulties. If it a new Panasonic HDC-SD9 for example then it is practically incompatible with any editing video software. I checked iMovie08, FCE 4 on Intel Mac and Sony Vegas on Windows machine. All programs crashed on import attempt.
BTW, did anyone find solution for SD9 problem except Voltaic conversion? I searched over internet and did not find even single case of successful direct HDC-SD9 files import.
And no, I do not have Perian installed on my Mac.
Thanks for any suggestions.

10.9.2 doesn't recognize scanner in Canon MX725 after upgrade

10.9.2 doesn't recognize scanner in Canon MX725 (WLAN) after upgrade.
I've reseted the printing system. Printing works fine.
Any Suggestions?

So after installing the ICA driver, did you try removing the MX725 from Printers and Scanners and adding again?
And is the MX725 still failing to appear under the Shared entry of Image Capture?
If it is not showing in Image Capture then open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. The right pane will show information about the MX725. Please copy that information and paste back here for me to check.
You could also try installing the MX725 TWAIN scanner driver via link below. This download includes Canon's IJ Scan Utility, which will install in Applications > Canon Utilities.

Mac doesn't recognize shuffle and opening iTunes with Shuffle crashes Mac

I recently updated to iTunes 7. Now my Mac doesn't recognize my year old shuffle when I plug it in, and when I open iTunes it freezes the Mac.

I have been monitoring this forum on and off for weeks looking for a solution for my shuffle disfunction and this appears to be it.
My shuffle would play songs and recharge on my iMac but would not be recognized by iMac by any of the expected means. This problem started after updating to iTunes 7. Tried uninstalling 7, and any of the other suggestions here that could work with out communication between iMac and shuffle, since the shuffle would not link to the computer.
I had resigned myself to a shuffle that played only the songs currently loaded until it finally died. But, using the 06-06-28 updater worked for me as well, although it was a bit of a quirky process. Once launched, the updater immediately recognized my shuffle (first sign of life in weeks). When I chose the update button, it ran through an update but said there was an error after finishing and that I should disconnect, re-connect, and try again.
Just disconnecting the shuffle mad the updater crash. I had to restart my mac, but when restarted my shuffle launched itunes and there it was. It appears to be fully functional again and I jut cancel when it says there is an update available for my iPod.
Thanks djSTP!

Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
Terribly disappointed!

I am using OS X 10.9.2 and I'm attaching the error message I get. I am
trying to install InDesign CS6 in order to convert my book to Kindle, but
Amazon's plug-in only works with InDesign CS6 NOT with InDesign CC.
I am attaching the Kindle Plugin also.
