My macbook will not read my camera?

My Macbook will no longer read my camera when I plug it in with the usb. Does anyone know why?

Hi,
Have you tried a different USB cable to connect.
As a quick fix but not a solution to your problem get a USB card reader, take the memory card from the camera and use that to get pictures on your computer.
Hope this helps,
Alan

  • I need help doing a clean install.( keyboard shortcuts?).Macbook will not read any of the disks/ turns off

    I installed a new 'used' Logic board, im my macbook 13.3 and it turned right on!..( i was out of warrenty)
    Apple logo and spiing wheel, then turns off..
    After reading several forums, I went into self mode, did the 2 checks within in and got an error which pointed to the OS software being currupted..
    so I have  inserted the Os disk, the disk-repair disk and a disk warrior disk, but none of them are being read. I hear the Macbook starting to read the disk then the disks are ejected and the systen turns off.
    Is there a way i can do a clean install on the HD? shortcut keyboard shortcuts?
    or force the disks to be read as the first boot device like of that  in a PC's bios settup?
    I have no data on the computer that I wish to save btw.. just want a fresh install..
    thanks for any help in advance.

    Unfortunately the necessary software to reinstall your OS is not located on the hard drive. If your MacBook will not accept the disks you have you are going to need a hardware repair, probably the optical drive.
    If you have access to another MacBook you may be able to install the OS on an external hard drive and use that to boot your MacBook. You may then be able to get any data off of your hard drive.
    Best of luck.

  • Friends MacBook Will Not Read DVD's!

    Hey there I have a friend who just bought a new MacBook before she went off to college and it will not read certain DVD's. I have no idea what the problem is. The first DVD that I tried worked just fine, but when I put in a different one it would just kick it right back out at me. Please Help Thanks!

    Hi,
    I realise you have already tried some of the steps listed below, but it may be worth trying the following procedure from start to finish.
    First, from the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.  Restart the PC.
    Next, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If the drive is not working, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.  Right click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall this, again not deleting drivers if asked. Then open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.
    Reboot the PC and let Windows reinstall the devices.  Check the drive again.
    If it still isn't working, run the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below again.
    Vista
    Next, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Let me know how you get on.
    Best wishes,

  • Lightroom 3.3 will not read camera raw?

    Hi. I recently updated to LR 3.3 and for some reason it will not read my camera raw. I have a Canon E05 Rebel T1i and a PC. The program reads all of my JPG images, but none of the raw. Is there some update available or some setting that I can change? I am not very computer savvy, so any help would be very beneficial. Thanks

    I'm experiencing the same issue with my 7D where LR3.3 will read JPEGs but not the RAW files when connected directly to the camera. I believe it has something to do with the RAW format Canon uses with their DSLRs. LR3.3 has no issue the RAW files (also a .CR2) produced from my Canon G11.
    I''m running Windows 7 64-Bit and both LR and my cameras firmware are upto date. Further the Canon's DSLR RAW format isn't recognized by Windows. If you try using Windows Explorer to copy the files from the camera to your HD, they show up a 0byte "local disks".
    Canon's DPP converts the DSLR RAW file into a .CR2 which can then be imported into LR.

  • CS4 will not read Canon 5D Mark2's CR2 files

    Bought the Canon 5D Mark 2 for christmas.
    Am running Bridge and PS CS4
    They will not read the camera's CR2 files
    The icon of CR2 shows in bridge but wont read the file
    I'm on a Mac
    Looking for a link to download the update.
    Please help!
    Nana

    If from within bridge you go to Help>Update that should find
    the camera raw 5.7 update and install it.
    Here's where you can manually download the camera raw 5.7 update if
    need be.

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    Hi David.  I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help.  I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it.  I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
    You also haven't posted any information about the SD card.  What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)?  This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
    If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you.  In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
    Hope that helps.

  • PC will not read disc which came with N95 8GB Phon...

    Upgraded to N95 8GB. So far so good, then !!!. Came back from hols to link with PC to find that the CD drive and DVD drive will not read the disc which came with the phone. PC will still read other discs but not the Nokia disc. What is the disc format and can I get what is on the disc elsewhere?

    It's probably just a damaged disc. You can download the PC Suite software from www.nokia.com/pcsuite, as far as I know you can't get replacement CDs.

  • IPhoto 11 will not recognize my camera or card reader

    My new iMac with iPhoto 11, on Lion, will not recognise my camera, a SanDisk card reader or, for that matter, my iPhone 4. 
    It means that I cannot put new photo's into iPhoto.
    From other forums and threads there seems to be an Apple issue but no fix.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    The point of using a  Different Account on your Mac is that it will tell us if the applications are sound or not. If the problem occurs in another User account we'll know the issue is systemic. If it doesn't then we know the apps are sound and the issue is something in your account.
    Basic troubleshooting: try the same things using different cables. If the cable is faulty then that's how we'll know. That fact that other features work using this cable means nothing. A connector cable has several strands. One could be damaged.
    Ditto for using different USB ports  on the machine.

  • Macbook Pro will not read CD's.

    My Macbook Pro will not read CD's. They have data on them, but they open up as blank CD's when I insert them into the drive. I know that they are not blank because on another Macbook Pro, they open up just fine. Some CD's will work while others will not. Why would a CD open on another Mac that is just the same?

    I am having a similar problem.
    Mine is a Mid-2009 model that I bought used on Craigslist... and now I notice the problems.
    If I insert a commercial DVD, it spits it out after about 10 seconds. If I insert a burned DVD, it asks me if I'd like to write something to it.
