Recognizing my camera in Aperture

I've just noticed that all the projects in the library on my MacBook Pro no longer recognize my Canon 5D Mark IIs (or any camera for images shot by others with Nikon). This is recent...I know it's worked in the past. I haven't changed any setting that I know of but any ideas why it's no longer recognizing them. I get unknown camera and unknown lens in my metadata. Thanks.

I don't know about your other white balance issue, but yes, you can apply a white balance to a selection of images.
Create a set of WB presets (one for daylight, cloudy, fluorescent, tungsten etc.). This takes moments and will be available on any future occasion.
Select and apply your WB preset to an image
Fine tune as needed (since in-camera auto white balance or presets often do not nail it)
Select Lift/Stamp tool
Click on your adjusted image
In the Lift/Stamp HUD, deselect all adjustments except the WB
Select all target images
Click "Stamp Selected Images" button in the Lift/Stamp HUD

Mac is not recognizing my camera AGAIN

Can someone, PLEASE, give me an answer?
Image Capture, iPhoto and Aperture stopped recognizing my camera. The camera blinks while connected as always, I can see it in the System Profiler. In About This Mac, under the USB section, I can see that Canon Digital Camera is showing.
The curious thing is that when I turn off my camera, then quickly turn in on I can see it flashing in Image Capture for like 1 second and then "no camera connected" appears again.
What could cause this problem? I once had the same problem, formatting my camera solved it, but this time I tried it a few times and it didn't work.

"when I turn off my camera, then quickly turn in on I can see it flashing in Image
Capture for like 1 second and then "no camera connected" appears"
Once ejected, a disk/camera has to be replugged in.
But this doesn't seem to be the problem. When connected properly
the cam is showing up in Finder and ATMac. I believe the three
apps aren't seeing your pics because possibly the correct camera
storage setting may not be selected in the Finder - although device
itself is connected and present. When my camera connects to the
Mac I always need to select one of several options - I select DCIM
and that turns out to be my pics. Good luck.

No luck importing from SonyHandycam DCR-DVD650? I am using USB import to my MacBook that is running OSX 10.6.8. The MacBook is not recognizing the camera. Any ideas what the issue could be?

I am not having any success in importing my videos from Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 650 to my mac book. I am using the USB connection. The macbook is not recognizing the camera. The macbook is running OSX 10.6.8. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2361 There's a recommendation that when using this camera to record in the 'Standard' format instead of VR format. So if you know what the setting was you used to record the disk that's a starting point.
According to this website the camera should be compatible with iMovie '11
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
So here's some steps to take to get the Mac to recognize your camera.
1. Try it more than a few times, sometimes it can take 2-4 attempts to get iMovie to recognize a camera for the first time.
2. Always get the power adapter for your camera out of the bag. Hook it to the wall outlet, then plug your camera into that. Don't run it off the battery.
3. With the camera plugged into the wall, in DV playback mode. Hit play and just let it play video out continuously, then reboot the Mac. As soon as you see the desktop, launch iMovie. Go to File Menu > Import from Camera and see if the Capture window opens with your video playing through.
4. Make sure iPhoto doesn't try to launch itself automatically when it detects your camera has been connected to the Mac. Sometimes it tries to steal the videos off of a camera and 'blocks' iMovie from seeing the camera when it's attached. So make sure iPhoto hasn't interecepted your camera and is not running at all when you launch iMovie
No guarantees, but some things to try

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

I want to connect my Orion StarShoot V2 Pro camera to aperture. Can I?

Is it possible to connect ther above astrophotographt ccd camera to aperture?

That depends on wheter the camera supports tethered shooting, see this section of the Aperture user manual:
Capturing images as you work
Your Astro camera is not listed in the list of supported cameras, but if it has an USB connection you might give it a try:

Onlocation is not recognizing my camera

I have a Panasonic HPX300 and im shooting on dvcprohd connected via firewire, and when i turn OL on it reads "no video input found. connect a camera to your computer, or check your cameras connection and power" I have my camera on PC Mode. any help would be appreciated.
thanks

It's not that FMLE is not recognizing your camera.... FMLE is not recognizing your capture device (the iGrabber).
Just because a capture device can capture video as a file onto your computer doesn't mean that the device is made to deliver throughput video as a "live camera" source. There is a big difference between recording to a file, and passing video through as a source.
An inexpensive caputre device that FMLE can see is the Dazzle Video Creator Platinum HD. If you have a FireWire connection on your computer I would strongly suggest using the Canopus ADVC110 capture device (works like a champ -- no issues or errors).
If you change your capture device out to one that allows other software (like FMLE, XSplit, Wirecast, etc.) to see the video as a "source" then you'll be in luck. iGrabber simply does not have that capability. This isn't the fault of Adobe, it simply wasn't designed by iGrabber to be used in this manner.

I'm using a Sony HDR-CX160 with an iGrabber connected via USB. FMLE is not recognizing the camera. Any suggestions?

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

IPhone 3GS not recognized as camera on Windows XP

I connect my iPhone 3GS to my laptop to sync and it is not recognized as a digital camera and cannot download my photos to back up. Rebuilt my laptop in the mean time and it recognized the camera on the phone, but when downloading the photos, it crashes half way through. Any ideas?

IMovie 09 stopped recognizing my cameras

I've been using iMovie 09 with my two cameras Panasonic GF1 and Sony TX10. Recently iMovie stopped recognizing both cameras which it used to recognize properly. The problem occurs to both my iMac and MBP so I suspect that it was caused by some recent updates. As these cameras are shooting AVCHD which is not supported directly by iMovie, there is no way to import the MTS clips unless they are detected and imported from the camera.
Anyone has similar experiences and knows how to fix it?
Louis

Very strange - the problems occured a few days ago and I tried reformatting different cards, the problems persist. However, it started to work again for my Panasonic (both from the card directly or from the image I created previously for the undetectable card. I have not done anything and not even rebooted my Mac). It still doesn't work for my Sony thought (neither from the card nor the disk image). Will buy a blank new card then try again.
I'm thinking otherwise I would try out other softwares like Adobe Premiere Element which supports AVCHD editing and I don't need to maintain a large uncompressed video database.
Any comments on using Premiere Element 10?
Thanks for the tips anyway!

GOES Utility not recognizing 60D camera

Does anyone have any idea why the EOS Utility is not recognizing the camera when connected to PC. All functionality are greyed out.

Hello E092176,

Cannon EOS 40D and a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite.My Mac is not recognizing my camera anymore

My Mac recognized the camera last night and imported the pictures I took. This morning, I cannot upload new photos. (I did drop my camera, but it works fine -THANKFULLY - so I am not sure why that would make a difference). My Mac is not even recognizing that the camera is plugged into it. I went into ulitities and my camera is not showing under the USB when it is plugged in. I have put in a new battery in my camera and rebooted my Mac and nothing is working. I appreciate any idea you have on how to fix this!

The cameras are fairly rugged and can take a few knocks (they're not that fragile)... but obviously there are limits. So if the knock or drop was hard enough, I suppose it's possible that you've damaged the camera. Does the body show signs of physical damage (did it fall hard enough to damage the body?) If you are using the Mac's "System Information" utility to check the devices connected via USB then it is important that you connect the camera BEFORE you start the "System Information" utility. This is because that utility only scans the connected devices when it is started and does not re-scan if devices are connected after starting. There is a menu option under "File" -> "Refresh Information" (or press Command+R) to refresh if the camera was connected after starting. If the utility does not show the device then something is wrong with the connection (e.g. loose or bad cable, bad port, bad hub etc.). I have gone through a number of external USB hubs with my own Macs. It took a while before I finally found a hub that worked reliably. I would frequently have devices that would show up in the device list when DIRECTLY connected to my Mac, but would NOT show up if connected to a hub (even "powered" hubs). For this reason, if you are having any connectivity issues, please make sure that you are connected the camera directly to the computer. Remember, there are no drivers needed for the device to show up -- so if it doesn't show up it is not a software problem. As a backup plan, it is possible to directly import the images from the computer into the computer without using the camera. I think the 40D uses Compact Flash, but you can get an inexpensive Compact Flash reader (I have a Lexar USB 3.0 reader that has both a CF card slot as well as an SD card slot.) This is actually my preferred method to perform imports because direct reading from the card is faster than transfering via the camera's USB connection.

Opening RAW files in Bridge - not recognized as "Camera RAW files"

I would appreciate any help with this as I am frustrated after spending hours trying to figure this out:
I use a Mac OS X laptop
I have a Panasonic (DMC FZ8) camera that I've been taking RAW pictures with. I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera using Bridge (I have Photoshop CS2)..I have also tried copying the files to a folder on my desktop and opening from there. The problem is that Bridge doesn't recognize my .RAW files as actual "Camera RAW" files and the icons remain as the Preview icon and not actually a preview of the image. If I click on it to open it in Photoshop the "Photoshop RAW Options" come up set on 8 bits and when I open it, it's just a gray screen. I have checked the settings for RAW Camera and the Panasonic RAW files .raw is selected. I have also tried selecting "show only camera raw files" in my window that is open and my .RAW files that are there gray out - so the program isn't recognizing them.
I just downloaded the Plug-in 3.7 Camera Raw and had to create folders for it in Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. the only folder I had was Application Support/Adobe so the rest I created.
I'm now lost as to what I should do next. Nothing I try seems to be working.
PLEASE HELP!

>I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
That is a monumentally bad idea. Transfer the closed files to your local hard drive first.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         Drains the camera battery
         Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

IPod touch 5G only recognized as camera in "My Computer", not recognized in iTunes

Hello all, I received a new iPod touch for Christmas and I cannot get it to be recognized under iTunes. It is only recognized as a camera under My Computer in Windows XP. I believe my problems began when I recently upgraded my iTunes from version 10.5.3 to version 10.7 (not ready for iTunes 11 yet) so I could sync my iPod touch with iOS 6. During the installation of iTunes 10.7, I ran into a problem with the drivers for burning CDs with iTunes being missing so I followed the steps in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3299 by reinstalling iTunes and changing the registry settings beginning at Step 11. I solved that problem and now I have a problem with my iPod touch not being recognized by iTunes. Please help!
Also, if this helps, my old iPod 5th generation 30GB is still able to be recognized in iTunes. So what's going on with my iPod touch??

It will only ever be recognized as a camera in "My Computer" because that is what it is.
Install the latest version of iTunes and then try again.

IPod touch recognized as camera

I have an iPod Touch 2gen and I had to reformat my laptop. It is using Windows Vista (ugh, I know). I want to pass the files (apps and music) from the iPod to the computer (The iPod Touch has the latest iOS it can have and I just downloaded iTune so it's also the latest one as well) and I can't because the computer is recognizing the iPod as a digital Camera. I've tried disabeling the action in the Control Panel by choosing "Take No Action" in the Auto Play thing. I've also tried to do it through the Computer Manager on My Computer and nothing. Anyone else has any other way I can fix this? Or maybe another way I can transfer my files from the iPod to the computer?
Thanks in Advance!

Here is a website that I found that was very helpful!
