Camera Window pops the message "Cannot detect Camera, Check connection to camera, then retry"

I have installed Camera Window in my Windows 8.1 laptop. The moment I invoke Camera window, there is a popup which shows . "Cannot detect Camera, Check connection to camera, then retry. I do not have this issue in my iPAD though. Has anyone come across this issue..?Thanks

zebah_alfred,
Please make sure you have the latest versions of the software installed by downloading them from our website. Please click HERE to go to the download page.
1. Are you connecting to your computer with a USB cable or over Wi-Fi?
2. Are there any other devices connected to your computer other than the camera, aside from a keyboard and mouse of course?

Why won't iMovie recognize my DV camera any longer?

I've been using a Sharp VL-SD20 mini-DV videocamera for several years. Worked fine with iMovie. But I recently upgraded to Leopard (now OS 10.5.5), and now iMovie will no longer recognize/control the same camera. I've cycled the power/replaced batteries/reset the date on the camera, etc. Can't get iMovie to 'control' the camera any longer for shares or uploads. ideas?

Hi
My collected ideas.
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Start GarageBand. Play some notes. Close it and hav a re-try with iMovie.
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

Skype not detecting camera

Skype is not detecting my camera, even though it is working just fine. I tried using my camera with webcamtoy and it had no trouble at all. I have also used this same camera before with skype, with no problems, a long time ago (about 1 year and a half), but for some reason it is not working now. My laptop is an Asus K53sv, and the camera is the one that comes integrated with it, a 0.3 Mega Pixel Fixed web camera. Can someone help me please? I would like to be able to use video calls without having to buy a new camera...
Solved!

Camera can't be recognize… Which version of Skype should i install??? Please, help me...
Unfortunately there is no Skype version available that will work with video on your computer. You have an old CPU without support for the SSE2 instruction set. SSE2 is now an absolute requirement for video being enabled on Skype.

Cannot load Yahoo any longer. Why not?

I can no longer load Yahoo with the latest Firefox version. It hangs forever on the l.yimg.com prompt and when it does load the formatting is missing. I am running system 10.4.11 on a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo.
I have cleared all of the history, cache, etc but to no avail. It also happens in Safari as well.

Hello, Creswell Vandal.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what you mean by can't sync any longer. However, if your device is not recognized in iTunes see the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

"Project view" : cannot organize projects any longer (Aperture 3.4.3)

"If you organize your projects in folders in the Library inspector, you can group your projects by the folders they reside in" (Aperture 3.4 manual, p. 45, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Aperture_3_User_Manual.pdf)
—> doesn't work any longer by me (nor the "by-year organization" of the projects)
"Year" and "Folder" buttons are ineffective by me (though not greyd)

We seem to be talking at crosspurposes - with removing the preferences I meant exactly the files you are asking about below - what did you remove instead?
Couldn't the problem have something to do with :
- the com.apple.Aperture.plist and com.apple.Aperture.plist.lockfile files in the User/Library/Preferences folder ?
And to remove the presets in /Library/Application Support/Aperture, look at the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics,
- the Database folder files in the Aperture Library package (DataModelVersion.plist file for instance) ?
I do not think, that might help, since repairing and rebuilding the library did not help, and you are having exactly the same problem with other libraries, as you are saying.
- Same problem from another user account
That suggests, that removing preferences and presets in your account will be useless.
How did you test in the different user account? WIth a new Aperture Library and all user settings as the system default setting? If yes, then this looks like a system wide problem.
Have you installed any Aperture plug-ins that might be interfering? Any haxies, contextual menu items?
If not, then I'd suggest to reinstall Aperture - I'd start from the original installation media and and upgrade immediately; how to reinstall on different platforms is described here: Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating

[Solved] Cannot detect camera with udev, only with HAL.

I have removed HAL as I realize it is being deprecated and HAL also created issues with frequent 2-3 second HDD access. I have managed to get udev and pcmanfm to detect and mount pen drives using the udev wiki and new rules.
However, my digital camera is not detected, nor even assigned a device name (unless I use HAL).
Output from "tail -f /var/log/messages.log" after insertion of camera:
Jul 31 15:49:02 eagle kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
Note udev does NOT assign even a device name. The camera is also not detected via "lsusb". Therefore, without a device name I cannot use:
# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n [device name])
to even begin writing udev rules.
EDIT and PS: I have copied the /lib/gphoto ruleset file to /etc/udev/rules.d and restarted udev to no effect as well.
EDIT(2): This problem is now "partly" solved. I can detect the camera using "gphoto2" command line, but only as root, so the problem appears to be a udev permission problem, which for some reason HAL did not have.
EDIT(3): Added myself to "camera" group, copied permissions line to libgphoto rules in /etc/udev/rules.d as per camera wiki and problem solved.
It seems that changing over to udev at the moment is not exactly straight forward. I still cannot get automounting of CDROM drive either - but will get there eventually. (I hope udev becomes more user friendly than HAL, because at the moment HAL wins on that front!).

IPad cannot get mail any longer

I setup my iPad (3) and iPhone to access my ntlworld and gmail email accounts about 2 months ago. Everything worked fine.
Suddenly this week, I get the message 'cannot get mail' the mail server imap.ntlworld.com is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account into mail settings.
I ONLY get this message on the iPad - I still get my messages on the iPhone ... Even when they are next to each other & both using the same wifi.
I still get my gmail messages with no problem (on both). I am able to send emails from both ... I just cannot receive!
I have made no changes to settings - nor has my mail password or account been altered by the ISP. I checked the settings on the iPad against the iPhone - there is no difference between them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

What exactly is your currently installed Skype version? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

Looking for a reason to stay with Verizon as my monthly plan cost has increased dramatically in the past year. Forced to change plan at last upgrade, and lines that used to be $10/mo are now $30/mo. I cannot afford this any longer.

When I last upgraded, I was told that my current plan (unlimited data was no longer an option) was obsolete. I had to go with the family plan and choose a data plan. Also, the non-smartphones on the account are now $30/mo rather than $10 as they used to be. The cost of service has increased dramatically in the last 18 months. Why, when other services are offering unlimited data and less expensive monthly lines, does Verizon not offer this to at the very least, long-time, loyal customers?

RC like myself do not work for Verizon wireless.
We are customers like yourself.
However his reply was 100% spot on. You may not like his answer but not liking it does not change the accuracy of it.
If you purchased at full price the unlimited data would have stayed.
But when people say upgrade they normally mean a free phone or greatly reduced phone with a two year contract.
The plan change was not necessary unless you purchased smart phones. If you were buying clam shell basic phones only then no plan changes should have been done.
You had 14 days to back out of the deal. Because you did not do so does not mean Verizon did not explain all your options.
You can port out and have Sprint or T-Mobile refund your early termination fees. I read this morning AT&T is also doing this on a limited basis.
Or you can go to Boost mobile or Net10 or Cricket prepaid all you can eat unlimited talk, text and data.
Also look at consumer cellular they may be just what you need.
They range from $10 to $50 check them out.
Good Luck

Has anyone else had this prblem suddenly? I have the iPhone 5 (the one before last weeks release) and last week I upgrades to IOS7...Now all of the sudden I get this message when I try to reply or send a new email on my business gmail account.

Thanks!
