No Camera Detected

Ok I know this has been asked a few times in various formats. All of a sudden, Photo Booth says "No Camera Detected" when I open it. I've tried different user, different applications, SMC etc..... I still get "No Camera Detected". This is so frustrating becasue it was just working a couple of days ago. Any help would be appreciated...

If you hold down the option key and select System Information... from the Apple menu, do you see the FaceTime (or iSight) camera listed under Hardware>USB? Should look something like this:
FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in):
Product ID:    0x8509
Vendor ID:    0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
Version:     5.16
Serial Number:    DJHBCQ05AWDH7HL0
Speed:    Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:    Apple Inc.
Location ID:    0xfa200000 / 2
Current Available (mA):    500
Current Required (mA):    500
If not, try restarting to see if the system can 'locate' the camera. If it still doesn't show up, it's time for a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

[Consolidation-Locked] Nikon D800 - No Camera Detected

Im trialing Lightroom 4 with my new Nikon D800 with the possiblility of purchasing this software if this its going to work. When I connect my D800 it says "no camera detected". Is there a patch or something missing from the software? Can't believe a new Camera like this has an isse. Or is it just me ;-)

I'll take that bet, Butch - I've been in the Capture One club for a long time, and they do take their time with stuff like this.
Bear in mind too that you only get any tethering support if you use the $299 Capture One Pro - the stripped-down (at $99, closer to Lr's price of $149) Capture One Express has no tethering support whatsoever.
And with either Cap One product, you've got to put your hand in your pocket again for a DAM solution.

No camera detected on OSX 10.8.5 running on MacBook Air 2013

No camera detected after update to OSX 10.8.5 on MacBook Air 2013

After the original (flawed) update to OS X 10.8.5 was installed, the internal camera of a 2013 MacBook Air would not work in Skype and some other third-party applications. The flaw was fixed in a supplemental update. However, if you followed some questionable advice that was circulating on this site to hack your system before installing the supplemental update, then it will not restore camera functionality; in fact, the camera won't work at all. The solution in that case, most likely, is to install the 10.8.5 Combo update.
In the future, I suggest you ignore advice to replace, remove, or change built-in system components.

Lightroom 4 with Windows 8 and Nikon D3, no camera detected

I updated my windows 7 to Windows 8 and now as I try to use Tethered Capture in Lightroom with my Nikon D3 camera, there's it that No camera detected. In other computer where's Windows 7 it works very fine. I can operate my camera from computer and, all my pictures appears in Lightroom, as it shoud do. But, no with that other computer, where I have Windows 8. Can anyone has some information what should be done? Or, should I just instal Windows 7 again?
I am very pleased for answers that could help me. Thanks in advanced.

Tethered Capture stopped working –"No Camera Detected"

Windows 7 (64bit)
Lightroom 3.3
Canon 7D – Latest firmware 1.2.3
Yesterday I had Tethered Capture working a treat. No problems at all.
Today I have attempted to use it – exactly the same set up as yesterday and Lightroom refuses to see the camera – it just says “No Camera Detected” in the Tethered Capture pop-up.
Windows can see the camera, and shows the CF card content in Windows Explorer. The Canon utility can see the camera. Even Lightroom can see the camera and can import from the CF card in the camera.
Whenever the USB cable is connected, if I look through the viewfinder and press the shutter a flashing busy light comes up, and no photo is taken. Makes me wonder what the camera is doing? Is it perhaps looking for an application on the PC to talk to?
Yesterday it was running fine with the USB cable plugged into a hub, I tried with it connected directly to the PC but it didn’t help.
I even tried removing power from the PC and restarting Windows – that usually fixes anything :-)
I have Googled and searched these forums but have found nothing that helps.
Is this an Adobe problem, a Canon problem – or am I doing something daft?
Anyone any thoughts?
Many thanks,
RzB

OK - so today I bring the camera and tripod back to the PC today, and hey presto - is all starts working again.
The PC had not even been restarted since it wasn't working yesterday.
Anyone got any ideas why it might not have been working yesterday?
Thanks,
RzB

"No Camera Detected" when try tethered shooting

Setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bits
Lightroom 3.3(just updated to the latest version)
Nikon D700 / D3s (supported according to this)
Problem:
When I connect any of my cameras (D700 / D3s) to my computer and fire up LightRoom and try to do a Tethered shooting, I get a "No Camera Detected" on the tethered shooting bar.
Notes:
- The cable works and the Windows driver works as my cameras are detected by Windows, show up in the devices list and I can browse the CF card content from the computer, so it is not a cable problem. It might be a driver issue with lightroom...
- USB Mode: the D700 and D3 series only have PTP mode, no USB Mass storage (MSC Mode), so suggestions to turn on USB Mass Storage mode are just not going to work.
- Both the D700 and D3 are listed as compatible cameras for tethered shooting in Adobe release notes
Any ideas / fix / suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Initially when I read this I was hopeful. But after following the steps - I still got the same results - No Camera Detected.
Environment:
Dell Core I5 Inspiron Laptop (new)- got it to do tethered capture on location.
Windows 7 home premium
LightRoom 4.2 (just purchased 2 weeks ago)
Nikon D300s
Initially when I connected my Nikon D300s - it worked perfectly with LR 4.2. Weeks prior to that the D300s tethered perfectly to my desktop computer (Windows 7 Home Premium; LR 3.6) as well.
After about 30 photos while tethered to the laptop (all photos transferred to the LR 4.2 on the laptop) - I took a break and disconnected (not positive I did - may have left connected) the camera. Later I re-attached and got the no Camera Detected Message. Tried switching USB cables(to Nikon's supplied USB cable). No camera detected. Tried switching USB ports - same result. In both instances Windows detected the camera and reported its battery life and space remaining on the card.
Found this posting, logged on as Admin and went through the steps, all of the services were already set to Automatic except RPC Locator. Set it to automatic and saved. Rebooted started LR and a tethered connection and connected the camera. Windows detected it as before, but LR was clueless. Realized that I had closed WIA before going to next step. Started Services and repeated steps this time leaving WIA open after opening each service. Set RPC Locator to manual and applied and then set to |Automatic and applied. Went through steps, then clicked OK on WIA. Closed out Services and rebooted. Started up LR, opened Tethered Connection and attached camera. No camera detected. In all cases I tried depressing the shutter button half way to see if it awoke LR Tethered connection.
Decided to try the D300s on my Desktop (with LR 3.6). Got the same results. Windows 7 recognized the camera, and LR was clueless. To me this strongly points to a problem with the camera, except that Windows recognized the camera both times - thus the USB port seems to e working fine. Read through the D300s menu options in case there was a setting there that I had missed. I didn't see anything relevant (plus I hadn't messed with it while Tethered).
So right now I'm up the creek with an on site session looming the horizon!

Nikon D3000 "no camera detected" from Lr 5 tethered capture!

Hi guys, I just installed Light room 5 and try to use the tether funtion from Light room 5. But it shows "No Camera Detected" I checked the USB cable and it is connected correctly. Is there any solutions to fix that? Or Lr 5 does not suport Nikon D3000? Please help!!! Thank you!

Tethered support for the D3000 is not available in Lightroom.

Whether it will be in the future is anyone's guess.

IMovie 3.0.3 and iSight - but no camera detected

So, I have read some posts on trouble shooting getting a camera detected, but to no avail.
Setup:
-G5 Dual 2.7
-running 10.4.2
-have iMovie 3.0.3
-have iSight
other apps see and use the camera just fine (QuickTime, iChat, Grab Photo) - but iMovie does not....
any ideas?

okay -
So, I moved my iMovie, iMovie HD, iMovie prefs and the iMovie Receipts to another drive and archived them (zipped them into a folder to be safe). Then, I tossed all of those originals from the original drive into the trash and trashed them.
I then went to the iLife '05 disk and went to install iMovie HD and this time it was NOT grayed out with the "skip" next to it. So, I installed just that off the iLife '05 CD.
So, it installed it this time.... BUT it still crashes and quits unexpectdly when I try to open it???
any other ideas?
FWIW - all 4 other iLife items work (iPhoto, iDVD, iTunes, GarageBand) - iMovie HD does not open..

When I update imovie to 7.1.2 it gives a "camera detected" message & quits

Just got a new 2.8 imac 24. Imovie works fine with the built in isight. When I nstall the update it trys to detect the cam and quits.

I've also just run the latest up-date of iMovie to 7.1.4 and the same problem happened when I try to launch iMovie. The "Camera - Detected" message appears and than iMovie quits. Has anybody found a fix to this issue?? Please help...

Camera Detected - Scanning Contents then crash!

Just got back from a long 4 day weekend. Eager to import my videos I get this. I have tried numerous times. Starting iMovie first and then turing on camera. I moved the USB from the hub to my MBP main port to no avail. About 20-30 seconds after getting Camera Detected - Scanning Contents, iMovie crashes. I did have one 60 fps clip on the camera so I moved it off the camera card. That means I can see the camera from my mac and the videos. Its just that iMovie is chocking on it.
So what can I do now? This has worked flawlessly before. My camera is a Sanyo Xacti HD1010.
Does anyone have some ideas about what may be wrong or how to work around? Is there a way to tell iMovie not to look for a camera so I can just import the movies via the menu?
--Mickey

I developed my own workaround. Since the content recorded is not true AVCHD, I was able to copy the off of the SD card to my External HD and then I was able to import via iMovie. I still don't understand why I suddenly couldn't pull of the camera. I did have about 4.7 gb of clips. Oh well - will try again after I record some more content.

Camera detected in MAX but not found in Labview

Hello,
I have a Thorlabs USB camera (DCC1645C). I have installed the drivers, and MAX is detecting the camera but when I try to open the camera with NI-IMAQdx, it doesnt appear. I have also tried to open the camera with NI-IMAQ but I wasn't able.
If I try with Vision Express/Vision adquisition, the camera is displayed, I am able to select it and configure the camera adquisition, but when I execute the program there an error: "camera not found".
It would be great some help.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
What is your LabVIEW version, your Vision software versions and iMAQdx version?
Since Thorlabs is using USB 2.0, you can read about the USB 2.0 section of this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4331B4AA3AE95233862574C200539A2F
Check if you have the required iMAQdx driver and its compatibility with your other NI softwares:
