My macbook 2009 will not recognize my nikon camera

I have a macbook and I have been using it just fine with my nikon l120 camera up until now. I have a bunch of photos and videos from a trip that I need to upload, today. Now when I plug in my camera...it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer! It does however show that it is charging because it blinks when it is connected. What has happened, and what can I do to fix it? Please Please Please help me.

If you start up Image Capture (it's in your Utilities folder), does it show up?
Also, check the settings menu on the camera itself. There might be a setting there for the transfer method (I forget exactly what it's called). I think it might have choices for PPTP or USB Mass Storage. If one setting doesn't make it show up, try the other. It is possible that the setting got changed.

My macbook pro will not recognize my WD external hard drive 1tb

My macbook pro will not recognize my WD 1 tb external hard drive that I have as my time machine backup. I worked just fine for a long time now The only way I can see it is through Disk utility. And when I try to repair the disk it say it cant be repaired, and i need to back up files and reformat. All my backups are on the hard drive. How do I back up the back if I cant get it recognized? Uggghhhhh I have several years of info on the hard drive .. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi cterry66,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to reset the user account password on your computer but do not know the original password. If you set up your Apple ID with that user account, you can use that Apple ID to reset your OS X user password. Please use the information provided in the attached article to complete the process.

Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro. I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive. When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine. So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did). Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all. First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive? It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

My hard drive is now connected. But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one. Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

Server on I-Photo on macbook pro will not recognize my ID, password combination?

Server on I-Photo on my MacBook Pro will not recognize my ID/Password combination

Details help - is this trying to sent email? What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
The general answer is
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Since I installed the last Mavericks update, my MacBook Pro will not recognize my Nook ebook reader

Since I installed the last Mavericks update, OS 10.9.2, my MacBook Pro will not recognize my Nook ebook reader. Maybe it's a coincidence; maybe not. Any ideas?

Check the Barnes & Noble or Nook websites to see if there are any Nook driver or software updates for OS X Mavericks.

My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD. It will play a music CD

My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD or boot up from either TechTools Pro or DiskWarrior. I tried to just install these on the computer with the computer running and it will do the same. When pressing the C key to start from the disc, it still does not accept it. It will cycle several times then reject disc.
It will play a music CD.
OS 10.6.8
CD/DVD Player.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Fijim

Thanks for the reply!
I had set up an appointment at my local Apple store previously so they could reinstall Mavericks, so I just went in a little early, showed them the error message, and they determined that it just needed to be reformatted. I didn't have anything on there that I needed, since I hadn't accessed it for a few years, so we wiped the drive, reformatted and now I have my back-up.
I appreciate the suggestions

My new Macbook Pro will not recognize my iphone in itunes...

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

You can post in the iPhone forums:

They handle that issue on a daily basis.

My Macbook pro will not recognize external devices

My MacBook Pro will not recongize external devices such as hard drives

I know that is of no help, but I have the same problem with a Toshiba harddrive. My wifes Macbook Air recognizes it. No problem with the hd I guess. But my macbook pro won't show it in the Finder, About this mac or disk utility - even though it is running. I would also be glad to get a solution to this.

My new MAC 10.10.3 will not recognize my Canon cameras or my Kodak camera. Help from the Geek Squad was useless.

My iMAC 10.10.3 Yosemite will not recognize any of my two Canon cameras or my Kodak camera. What's the solution?

Can you temporarily connect some other USB device to verify that your PowerBook's USB ports are in working order? Do you have another computer to which your camera can be connected to verify that a working USB connection is being made from the camera?
If we can somehow eliminate a hardware issue, then you can focus on software. Have you tried creating a new admin user account? If the new account recognizes your camera, it would narrow the problem down to something within your regular user account.

PC will not recognize my iphone camera.

My PC (xp os) will not recognize my iphone as a camera in camera and scanner wizard. The wizard asks for a driver disk. Any suggestions.

If you don't already have the latest iTunes, get it, if you do have it, try a re-install...the driver comes from the iTunes install.

update, after another reformat and reinstall of the drive and OS, the macbook is running (not shutting down anymore) but only on A/C, and still does not recognize the battery. I installed Snow Leopard, checked to make sure I had latest firmware updates (did) then updated to the latest Snow Leopard version, about a 1.26 GB download, then used my USB install key for Lion and upgraded. No shutdowns during all of this, looks like a clean Lion install, but still does not see the Battery.
Any of you experts have any ideas?

Macbook pro will not recognize startup password

my macbook pro ( one month old)is running the latest yosemite and suddenly will not recognise my startup password. after trying a few times it does not give me option to use my apple id to change the password. It just jitters and doesn't start up. How do I recover.

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

After updating to Yosemite, it will NOT recognize my nikon D7000

I am trying to tether to Lightroom, which I could do before updating to Yosemite. Now my computer DOES NOT recognize my camera.
Help?

It says at the top: This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID (b*****@hotmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this ipad.
I can't see the full email but what is shown my email begins with a "b" and is through hotmail. I got on my computer and logged in to my Apple acct. with no problems with my email ID and password.

My macbook pro will not recognize my Seagate external hard drive.

Last night it was working fine, but I noticed that every time I plug in my hard drive there is a bunch of files in my trash bin. I tried to delete them and my trash bin goes into the negatives and never stops. I tried dragging those files from the trash bin into the shredder on mackeeper, but that did not work. I then gave up on trying to delete the files and went to bed. I woke up and now my hard drive does not work. It still glows but nothing comes up on the screen. I plugged it in my brothers computer which is windows and it recognized it (It started to install the hard drive on his computer, so I stopped it). I also recently removed programs/ applications like ichat, garage band, and other applications that I never used on my computer. Just wondering what I need to do to get this to work because all my school stuff is on the hard drive. And I tried a new cable and it still does not show up. Please help.
I guess never mind, literally 25 seconds after I posted this message, all of the sudden it recognized my hard drive. I hope it does not take this long for it to recognize it everytime I use my computer.

I suggest you delete Mackeeper and do not use the Mackeeper uninstaller. Look at some of the discussions on this forum and you will understand that it is at best a nuisance and at worst malware that has a negative impact on the performance of your MBP. Here are instructions that you may use to get rid of it:
