Problems connecting a CAM to a 2540.

I have CAM installed on RH (Centos) 5.2, the software is from host_sw_linux_6.2.0.13.tar.gz.
The software installed fine. (Slow, seemingly buggy UI, but it ended well enough.)
I can ping my 2540 from my linux box on the out-of-band IP.
When I try to register the device in the CAM web, or using the CLI sscs, the 2540 is not found. In fact, after the scan, the controllers no longer respond to ping commands.
The 2540 still works though the serial interface in that I can set/display the IP, but I can't seem to do anything other than power cycle the 2540 to get the NICs them to respond to a ping, and then they will still not respond in CAM.
What can I do to get the devices registered, or what have I missed?
Thank you!

This is tough to troubleshoot from afar...
Just some thoughts... The CAM software does not like to traverse vlans/routers etc. Typically what I've done is to create a private network using the default 192.168.128.x (controllers are defaulted on 192.168.128.101 and 102). Once this private network was setup, then the CAM software had no problems locating the controllers.
I've plumbing up two interfaces on the host and could never get the CAM software to recognize the second interface as being a route to one of the controllers. And since CAM software requires connections to both controllers before anything fundamental can occur, a private network was the quickest solution.
The serial port on the arrays are always available... the last resort when you screw things up...
Yeah, I agree, the CAM software is screwy... My guess is that its to accommodate the wintel guys who need a GUI to do anything. I've opened cases against CAM...

Problems Connecting My Camera

So I love FCP with all of my heart but lately it's been acting up on me. I'm shooting on a Canon HV 20 Camcorder. This model does shoot in HD which I love, but it has some problems being read by my computer. I have uploaded footage off it before so I know it will work...right now it just doesn't. I know that HDV mode is only supported in 1080i60 format, but it's still not working. Every time I plug my camera in it says, 'HDV/DV Out' but as soon as I click 'Log and Capture' the camera screen reads 'DV Out' and nothing will log. Please help me. Thank You.
-JP

I believe there's a switch on this camera to select DV or HDV mode, did you double check that the right format is selected?
Also JP. If you use the search tool you will find tons of threads about HV20 related issues.
Take a look!
Good luck,
G

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3

I've searched these forums and others but can find nothing about this. Hopefully someone here can help.
I've been connecting my 20D to my 15" PowerBook 2005 (first running OS 10.3.9 and now running OS 10.4.3) since I got the camera two months ago. I have been using EOS Viewer Utility and the supplied USB cable and everything has been fine so far... The camera has appeared as "EOS 20D" in the left sidebar of EVU and I have been able to offload images and connect to EOS Capture.
Yesterday, all of a sudden (that is, I haven't installed anything new on my PowerBook), the camera stopped being recognized properly by EVU. When I connect the camera as I always have, "EOS 20D 1" or "EOS 20D 2" appears in the left sidebar of EVU and, when I click on it to view what's on the camera, I get the message "Cannot detect Camera. Check connection to Camera, then retry." I have un-plugged and re-plugged everything. I have tried an alternate USB cable (from my SD100). I have trashed preference files ("EOS CameraCom Pref" and "CanonEOSViewerUtility Pref"). I have removed and re-installed the EOS Viewer Utility (and all software from the CD). I have re-formatted the CF card as well as tried another CF card that hasn't been in the camera before. (The CF card still acts perfectly fine when used in a card reader.) I have updated the camera firmware to 2.0.3. I have even Repaired Disk Permissions on the PowerBook. Alas, none of this has fixed it.
I tried connecting to another identical computer with a fresh installation of EVU. That computer had never been connected to my 20D... same results.
I tried connecting to an older PowerBook (that had never been connected to my 20D) running 10.3.9 ... and everything was fine & back to normal. Usually this would lead me to believe that OS 10.4.3 was the problem, but I have been connecting to it without issue for several weeks.
Has anyone seen or heard of this before? (especially the "EOS 20D 1" and "EOS 20D 2" showing up in EVU.)
Does anyone know how to get the camera recognized properly again by EVU and EOS Capture?
Might there be a file or setting somewhere in 10.4(.3) that is not "seeing" the camera properly all of a sudden?
Despite years of Mac troubleshooting experience, I am stumped on this one and would love to get things back to normal.
In the meantime, I am able to offload JPEG's and RAW files using Image Capture, but I find EVU too handy to give up for some things. Also, EOS Capture is lost to me until I can get this figured out.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi AJ, Thanks for the thoughts. Here's the results...
New account:
I made a new account and tried the camera there. Got the exact same results. Good idea though, as that does sometimes clear things up or at least pinpoint problems.
iPhoto:
I removed it from our PB's long ago. Found its filing system too troublesome early on and never looked back. I could install it if it would get the camera recognized by EVU again, but I'd be surprised if that changed anything. (I'm guessing iPhoto recognizes cameras the same wat Image Capture does, and IC still works fine, so I'm not sure I'd discover anything new.)
EOS 20D 1 vs EOS 20D 2:
Nope, the camera doesn't have any internal memory. Only the CF card is used to hold images. I'm not sure where EVU gets the 1 and 2 from, but I'm thinking that if I knew that I could trash that pref and the problem might be solved. (Mind you, I've trashed all recognizable prefs so far. I'm wondering if Canon's EVU creates some very cryptically named file to store its camera prefs...?)
Waiting time & number of pics on card:
I don't need to wait at all, since the camera is on when I start Canon's EOS Viewer Utility, as recommended by the manual. The camera is listed when the app's main window appears. (I have tried starting EVU first, then the camera, and it takes about 3 seconds for the "EOS 20D 1" to appear, still inaccessible.)
I've tested the camera-computer connection with anywhere from 0 to about 45 images on the camera's card. I've never had any lag with either my SD100 or my 20D, no matter what app I use to access them or the number of pics on either camera's card.
Any other thoughts anyone?

Problem In Camera Of Lenovo K3 Note "cannot connect to camera"

I bought K3 Note a week ago...it showing "cannot connect to camera" error...I also installed latest system update of 17 mb.What should i do?Plz,I need fix of it.

Yes fully agree... Even the FFC( front facing camera) has its problem. The major problem if you may have noticed is that all images captured appear as mirror images i.e. things on your left appear on your right...mole on your right cheek will be on the left.... Very annoying indeed.. Hope they fix this up too...

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.7

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have foud you having looking for an answer to a problem i have had. re: New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3 and the answers listed for it the problem has been occuring on my 3 Macs, all running OS 10.4.7 and firmware on the new 20D at 2.0.3. The camera would not connect to the Mac with any software.
Canon told me to make sure that the connection mode is set to normal (which didn't work) but today they tell me to change it to P2P and iPhoto recognised the camera and downloaded. Still can't use the canon software (camera not connected / recognised) but they have said that a senior technition will be contacting me so i will keep you up to date.
All the best.

I have an update from my telephone conversation earlier today:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.
From the information supplied it would appear that the update in operating system is the cause of the problem. We can confirm that Canon are currently investigating compatibility with the recent update of the Apple Macintosh operating sytem OSX 10.4.7. If any software updates are neccessary they will become available from :
http://software.canon-europe.com/
I'll update with more.....

Suddenly iphoto freezes and stops responding when I connect my cameras to download both photos and video. I've never had a problem downloading from these cameras before today. I have both a Nikon D700(SLR) and Kodak HD Zi8(pocket camecorder).What to do?

I've tried checking for updates (none necessary), running v 9.1.5
Everytime I open it and connect a camera I have to force quit because it stops responding and won't upload.
It's uploaded from both these cameras before with no problem.
How can I fix this?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Where is problem ?
Thanks for your advice and sorry for my bad english.
Frit
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Frit,
how exactly are you searching for the camera? It is an IP camera, so it should be visible in MAX.
What version of software do you have? Did you update the Vision Acquisition Software ( http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2596/lang/en )?

Hi .i cant connect my camera roll to my hp laptop i have a 5s and i think ever since i upgraded to ios 7,1,1 this problem apeared

why can't i connect my camera roll any more? i have a 5s and recently i cant connect my camera roll to my lap top

Hello!
When you plug in your iPhone something shouldve poped up on your iPhone screen, saying Trust this computer? you may have accidentally pressed "Dont trust" if so it locks all photos on your phone so you cant see them from the computer. I would try another USB port and that same thing may pop up and make sure to press "Trust"
Also, you can try to go into my documents and on the left side you'll see "This PC" press that and you'll see an iphone on the screen, right click on it and it should have an option to "import pictures and videos" this may also work.
If this doesnt work please let us know!!
Best of luck!

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

How to disable iPhoto from starting up when I connect a camera?

I don't use iPhoto, but annoyingly, it starts itself every time I connect my camera to my iMac. How do I disable this? There seems to be nothing in "Preferences".
I have iPhoto 4. One of the gripes that I have, and a reason I don't use or update iPhoto, is that it seems to be impossible to upload just SOME of the photos in my camera. It's all or nothing. Does anyone know if later versions of iPhoto have fixed this?

Odd because when I went to the apple store to talk to their "genius bar" when I had a problem with my laptop they said " you can't change that option"i was like...are you kidding me???? So after all this time I finally find this option in the apple forums. T hank you guys this really helped me. I was sick and tired of it starting up every time i connect my digi cam or iphone.

Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

When my screensaver starts, it gives me an error there was a problem connecting to server

It seems like I'm having a problem with iPhoto. Whenever my screensaver comes on, it just sits on "Loading Photos" and then when I move the cursor to get out of the screensaver, I get a warning saying "There was a problem connecting to server XXX"
I don't know why it's trying to connect to this server. I have googled and searched and tried everything that everyone has said (renaming/deleting plists, removing all login items, clearing iPhoto and trying to start over...) but nothing has helped.
This error also comes up pretty consistantly when iPhoto is open.
I'm not really sure what else to check. I can't find any trace of the remote server, so I'm not sure why this is coming up.
I'm running Mountain Lion and whatever the latest version of iPhoto is.
Any thoughts?

I was able to get it. Apparently there was some old photo in my iPhoto library that was being mapped out to the server that it kept trying to connect to.
Which should have been relatively easy to detect, except the way that iPhoto is setup, there was no real way to find the source for each photo.
What I was able to do to was, under photos, CMD-A to select all photos and then try and move them to an album. It popped up with a notice saying that it wasn't able to find XXXXX.jpg and I had the option to cancel or find the photo. So I renamed another photo on my desktop to XXXXX.jpg, and when the error came up, I selected Find and then used the copy on my desktop to replace it.
After I did that, it let me add all of the photos to an album and I was able to launch the screensaver successfully.
A pretty big pain in the but that would have been easier to resolve if the UI of iPhoto was a little more detailed or customizable. But oh well it worked for me.
Hopefully this helps.

Since installing Lion I keep getting the error message 'there was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:" are not supported"' How can I fix this?

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

IPhoto 6 problem importing from camera

For some reason recently I have had problems importing photos from my camera.
I am using IPhoto version 6:06 and when attempting to load the photos directly from the SD card reader and the camera I get the continuous circle and nothing is loaded.
I cannot remember when I last upgraded the software but it was recent and i would like to be able to drop back to previous version if the current one is causing the problems.
Has anyone had this problem and how can I fix it.
Thanks
Norman

I recently upgraded from OSX 10.3 to 10.5. I don't know for sure if it's related, of course, but now nothing happens when I connect my camera to the computer; it used to automatically open iPhoto and go to the import window. Now I do not even here the clicking in the hard drive when I make the connection. I've tried checking the USB cable to make sure it's securely in place at both the computer and the camera, and making sure the camera is in the correct mode. I've also tried your troubleshooting basics (Repair Permissions, deleting the plist file, and creating a new system account, none of which worked. I'm ready to try a reinstallation, since that's what you suggested may be indicated in your Jan 5 letter to Jarmel. Is that what you suggest? If so, do I need to uninstall anything before running another installation? And do I run it from the iLife disk? Do I do a custom install of iPhoto only? Or do I run it from either my original system disks that came with the computer or from my new Leopard disk?
Also--I know this is perhaps off topic, but I mention it in case it might be a related problem. Since installing Leopard, my keyboard button that normally opens and closes the disk drawer does not work at all. I'm having to open it by restarting and holding down the mouse button.
Thanks for your time. Sorry if too many questions.
