OS X 10.6.4 won't recognize Canon Powershot sd1000

I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on a Macbook pro, and it won't recognize my Canon powerbook sd1000 digital camera. I've updated the software, to no avail. Other cameras work too. I understand that I can move the card to a reader or another scanner; any tips on how to solve this problem directly?

I had the same problem at first. There is a switch on the back right side of the camera that selects camera, video, or playback. Switching it to playback caused it to be recognized by OSX.

IPhoto '08 won't recognize Canon PowerShot

first use of iPhoto '08 on MacBook Pro. Previous import of photos from old computer went well. iPhoto does not recognize PowerShot SD500 digital camera as a camera. Recognizes it as an iPod. The computer does recognize the camera as a camera, though. Cannot import photos from camera. Cannot find camera via iPhoto to select it and import photos. Link to compatible cameras http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/devices.html is broken. Thoughts? Anyone?

I've not tried upoading from the camera to my MBP but you might try using Image Capture. It will show you the photos on the camera and you can then upload to the desktop and into iPhoto.
As for the broken link, it's probably being updated now that Leopard is being released in 8 days.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

DNG Converter won't recognize Canon Powershot S95 CR2

I've just installed the latest version (6.2) of DNG Converter. When I point it to a small directory (5 files) of .cr2 files from my Canon Powershot S95, it gives me the following message: “The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.” It works fine with .nef files from a Nikon D80. I notice that the list of cameras in the Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Adobe/Camera Raw/Camera Profiles folder includes the S90 but not the S95. Is there really a difference between the files produced by the two, or am I making a mistake somewhere?

Thank you.

After installing 10.9.3 computer won't recognize Canon SD 1200 IS camera: get message "a camera was not detected". Any suggestions?

After installing 10.9.3 computer won't recognize Canon SD 1200 IS camera: get message "a camera was not detected". Any suggestions?

I have an older Kodak which they have stopped supporting and I have to take out the SD card and put it in the card slot to download pictures. I read other threads where this solved similar problems for others. Some have a separate card reader but I just use the one on my imac. Wish it was more convienent to get to it though.

Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does. I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

Aperture 2 won't recognize Canon G10 CR2 RAW files

The Canon G10 just came out and I got one!! But Aperture will not recognize the CR2 files that it makes. Any idea how to make this work?

If you can get your hands on a copy of Canon's Digital Photo Professional it may include the proper converters that you can use for now.
For EOS utility to run the camera must be connected and running and I'm not sure the P&S cameras are recognized by that utility.
I'm having trouble with G9 CR2 files on Aperture 2.1.2. When I import them they come in at 1:1 aspect ration meaning the preview is forced to fill the preview screen so all images look a little wide and verticals look really, really stretched out.
When I go in and selected Apple -- Camera Default in the adjustments palettes it pops into the proper 4:3 ratio.
Any way to get that as the default? I've tried selected all and hitting the Camera Default but only one image at a time is updated. Driving me crazy

Bridge won't update past 6.01 and won't recognize Canon 6d

I purchased a canon 6d and it was not recognized by Bridge 5.
I signed up for CC two days ago. I had all programs updated yet Bridge still does not recognize camera. The version of Bridge still shows as 6.01. I am getting frustrated.
Please help/

Check Photoshop / about Plug ins / Camera Raw
inhere it should show one version of ACR and at least 7.3 (but when updated possibly 8.2) because 7.3 is the first version to support your camera.
Bridge is at version 6.0.1 at this moment so also check PS updates for having the correct ACR plug in active.
But there seems something else bothering you because ACR 7.3 is already available in CS6 that has Bridge version 5. This combination should also be able to provide you the correct previews.
Like Curt stated, can you provide more details about your computer (RAM, VRAM, total- and free disk space) OS system version and how do you try to view the files (card reader, cable to camera)

MacBook Pro won't recognize Canon MP800, even after reloading print drivers

Time Warner Cable updated servers. We had to update the DNS address for the MacBook Pro to maintain internet access. After doing this MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the Canon MP800 printer - shows no print drivers for Canon IJ Network , even after reinstalling printer software and downloading print drivers from Canon website - MPNavigator 2.0 keeps saying print driver has not installed. The MacBook is wirelessly networked with the printer and an EMac. We haven't updated the DNS address for the EMac because it still recognizes the printer and prints; however, we now don't have internet access with EMac as a result.

If printing wirelessly check your printer sharing settings - System Preferences/Sharing
If printer is connected directly to your computer, check your printer connections, read the troubleshooting section in your printer manual and check the printer manufacturer website for drivers you may need to update.

Imovie '11 won't recognize Canon Vixia HF10

I have been trying forever to get my Computer to Recognize my Vixia. I was a little disappointed because supposidly the canon is supposed to be very compatible. Every thread I read says to connect the cam into a power source and connect it via USB and Imovie should automatically recognize it. It does not.
I should let you know I am trying to get clips off of it's hard drive.
I have tried import, Movies, selecting the camera and all those files are greyed out.
Any Ideas? It will not pop up automatically I don't know what to do.
Thanks
Emily

Sometimes the order in which you launch iMovie and connect the camera can make a difference. I always recommend going the extra step of having the camera attached to the wall, connected to the computer, powered on, then put into playback mode. THEN, start the computer up...
Launch iMovie once you see the desktop appear then go to the File Menu > Import from Camera...
Best practice for connecting the camera is usually to have it powered up and playing back before you even launch iMovie at the least.

OSX 10.5.8 won't recognize Canon iP2702 printer

I just used the installation disc that came with my Canon iP2702 printer to install it on my Macbook w/10.5.8.    Canon says that the printer is compatible with Leopard in all of its literature.
I installed the driver that is on the disc, with the complete installation package. I followed the installation instructions to the letter.    The printer was not listed when I tried to print a document.
Then I went on Canon's site and downloaded the latest version of the driver. I installed it, but still the printer was not listed when I tried to print.   Nor was it listed when I tried to add a printer.
I rebooted the computer after the driver installation.   Still nothing.
Am I missing something?
Any tips greatly appreciated.

Adobe DNG Converter 5.7 won't recognize Canon T2i files (.CR2)

Just downloaded Adobe DNG Converter 5.7. I have a Canon T2i and my camera raw files (.CR2) are listed in the Converter but are faded and can't be selected. Does anyone know what is going on or have a similar experience?

Remember that the DNG Converter works on FOLDERS, not on individual files. If you are in the File > Open dialog box, make sure you're targeting the folder, not individual files.
Otherwise, use the Finder to drop file icons on the DNG Converter's icon.

Imac won't recognize canon camcorder

I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on my imac, running iMovie 11 ver. 9.0.4. I have a Canon Vixia HG21. It's worked fine for years, but about two months ago iMovie stopped recognizing the camera. The camera shows up on the desktop, but iMovie doesn't open, as it's supposed to and used to, and if I open iMovie myself and try to Import from Camera, it doesn't show up as an option. Image Capture will let me download photos, but I can't get the video off my camera. Any clues?

Does this thread help any:

MB Pro won't recognize Canon i450 Printer

What can I do?

I have this printer and it works fine on my MBP. You have to first download the drivers from here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=DownloadDetailAct&fcategoryid=3 31&modelid=8740
When you access that page, click on drivers and software, then scan down the list to the last one, it's the drivers for the Intel Macs and OS X.
And, then make sure the printer is not connected to your computer,install the drivers, and then after that, connect the printer and it should be recognized. If not you can do it manually.

10.6.8 does not recognize canon powershot SD1100 IS

I have just tried to upload photos from my canon for the first time since I got my macbook pro 10.6.8, also reinstalled canon software, and when I plug in my camera, the machine does not recognize it. It simply says, 'No camera found'
Anyone else have this issue?

It sounds like the issue is isolated to the Mac system since it works on the Windows 7 system on the network.
First, reset the Mac printing system as outlined in this document from Apple.
Next, reinstall the printer using this driver package from Apple. I did check and it does support the Laserjet CP1520 series printers. If you prefere HP's installation package, it can be found here.
These steps will clear any files that are causing a conflict in the printing system and ensure it has the newest software available.
Let me know what happens.

ITunes won't recognize iPod Nano (1GB, 1st generation)

I have been having problems Sync'ing my iPod nano with iTunes, however, the more I read help articles and follow the steps, the worse the problem gets. (I'm on a PC using Windows XP)
I've gotten to the point where I updated my iPod software in Disk mode (up until then it was being recognized only in Disk mode), but when iTunes failed to recognize it when not in Disk mode I preceded to restore my iPod to factory settings, as instructed in the help articles.
Now, up until then, I still had music in my iPod, and I was being able to charge it and listen to my music even though I couldn't sync the iPod anymore. After restoring, I not only lost my music (which I was aware of), but it STILL did not fix my problem. So I started to get annoyed.
I then noticed that my iPod was being recognized by My Computer, just not by iTunes, so I began to perform the steps indicated in the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
I restarted my iPod service - no luck
I removed iTunes - no luck
I emptied my Temp directory and restarted...
That's when iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod altogether, not even in Disk mode. Not only that, but it seems to have affected the iPod itself, since it won't turn off or exit Disk mode anymore. So now I'm scared of going though with any more steps on whichever "help" articles and making the problem even worse than it already is (if that's possible).
The only other information I can provide is that windows is still recognizing my iPod, no problem, and when I connect my iPod, iTunes actually launches... but DOESN'T recognize a thing. So I ran a diagnostics using iTunes and here's what I got (iPod diagnostics):
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

Connected Device Information:
IPOD (H:\), iPod nano running firmware version 1.3.1
All green lights, and as you can see, according to iTunes, NO PROBLEM! Except that it won't recognize the iPod that the disgnistics says exists and reads... ?!?!?!
If anyone could shed some light on my situation, i would be VERY greatful!

My IPod Nano will charge when connected to my computer but it won't come up on My Computer or iTunes. So I can't update the songs. I've already tried reseting the iPod. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.
