Still having problems - FC does not recognize HD camera!

Camera: Sony HVRA1U. Final cut does not recognize it.
Audio/Video Settings are:
Sequence Preset: HDV1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: Sony HDV (I think)
Camera menu settings:
VCR HDV/DV: HDV
iLink Con: Off
Nothing. Just does not recognize the camera. Now, it does on iMovie. So what's the deal? I've restarted all systems, unplugged every cable, etc. Done everything possible.
To top it off, it HAS recognized it before. Now it's just stopped.
Also, I'm not exactly computer savvy so I'll need a step by step approach on how I could possibly solve this. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
A workaround would be to use Image Capture to upload from the camera to a folder on the desktop and then import into iPhoto. Or you may have to use a card reader, drag the image files from it to a folder on the desktop and then import (a preferred workflow IMO).
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Iphoto 8.03 and it does not recognize the camera

Just downloaded IPHOTO 8.03, It does not recognize the camera
Not able to download new photos

What camera is it? Have you set it to PTP or Mass Storage? Did you check the cable, camera battery, try a different USB port? Have you tried using a Card Reader?

Multiple Problems: iTunes does not recognize, no music, and odd click

I went to update my iPod, and after I updated it, I went to go listen to it, and it said I had no music, no videos, no photos, nothing! But if I look at the summary of the iPod, it says there is still stuff on it, however it is now orange instead of blue, before it was blue, because of all the music.
It is also making an odd clicking noise now.
Also, iTunes does not recognize my iPod. I have attempted the 5 Rs, but I cannot restore, because my iTunes does not recognize my iPod, and I attempted the steps suggested if iTunes does not recognize the iPod, and still no luck.
PUH PUH PUH PLEEEASE HELP!!

i think im having the same problem, and its bull. i cant find any answers, just this 5 R stuff that definitely solves nothing. First i would plug in my ipod classic into my computer and a message would pop up saying that something has malfunctioned and i need to hook up my device to a 2.0 usb port, even though thats what it was plugged in to, so i reinstalled the drivers for the usb ports. that stoppped happening and now when i plug it in nothing happens, it turns on my ipod but itunes doesnt see it and neither does my computer! HELP!!!

After installing latest Yosemite update (10.10.3) Mac does not recognize my camera

Did latest Yosemite update yesterday, and all my USB ports are having issues with storage drives, etc. Most frustrating issue is my late 2012 mac mini does not recognize my 2014 Cannon DLSR.
I have tried to connect camera through WIFI and USB ports. I have also tried the most recent Cannon drive update.
NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE. As a designer and artist I use this camera and mac for work constantly.

Iphoto locks up, and does not recognize our camera consistently

Greetings, All,
We have two iMac computers, V10.6.8, and on one of them, iphoto continuously locks up and freezes. We have to use a key command to escape this situation. Also, sometimes, this same Mac does not recognize the Nikon camera which we've always used on it. How do we remedy these problems, please? Do we need to completely uninstall iPhoto, then reinstall it from Time Machine? Thank you for any and all help you can send our way! God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc

Good Morning, All,
No ideas on how to take care of this situation, then? Guess a trip to the nearest Mac store will be scheduled, and see if they can help us figure out why these two things are happening with iPhoto. If we get it fixed there, I'll post a note here, so other who might be experiencing the same problems can learn the fix. Take care, and God Bless!

IPhoto 05 does not recognize my camera

Installed iLife 05 last spring. Dug out my SONY Mavica CD300 camera this winter and 05 does not recognize it. The previous version (03, I think--came with computer) did recognize it. SONY support was no help; they suggested Image Capture, which didn't recognize it either. Now what should I try?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You could try to rule out a hardware problem with the camera's USB port, USB cable, or your Mac's USB port. Open your System Profiler (Applications > Utilities > System Profiler) and see if the camera is listed under Hardware > USB. If the camera shows up there, a hardware problem is unlikely. If it does not list there, try a different USB cable, different port on the Mac, or try the camera in another computer.
Regards.

Since switched computers, does not recognize HVX100b camera

With the new iMac, it will not recognize an HVX100b video camera in iMovie... since I switched from a Macbook...
System profiler does not see it either... the firewire cable.

Photos does not recognize my camera when I try to import

When I try to import I keep getting an "error -9937". Tried using image capture as a possible solution but it also doesn't recognize my camera. Went back to iPhoto and now it no longer recognizes my camera. It worked perfectly fine until this recent update. Any ideas? I don't want to use the Cloud.

I have seen quite a few similar questions, but none was solved:
com.apple.imagecapturecore error 9937
AFTER UPDATING UPDATE OS X 10.10.3 IMAC NO LONGER RECOGNIZES JPG AND CANNOT DOWNLOAD FROM CAMERA
And all were for Canon cameras. Is your camera also a Canon Powershot? If that is the case contact Canon for help.
As a work-around: Try to read the photos from a card reader and not directly from the camera. It is less bother and you avoid problems, if the batteries in the camera are low.

OS X does not recognize DV camera in still photo mode.

Using iMovie, I can import DV movies from my Samsung SC-D453 mini-DV camcorder over a Firewire connection. But when I switch the camera to photo mode, OS X tells me there is nothing connected to the Firewire port, and I cannot import still photos from the Mini-DV camcorder. The camcorder has a USB 2 port, but I do not have a USB 2 port on the G4 so I cannot connect the camera over USB. USB is what I use with my Olympus digital camera to import still photos. Works fine. Any ideas on how I can get still photos from a mini-DV camcorder over a Firewire connection?

Welcome to the Discussions.
USB 2.0 is often backward-compatible with USB 1.1.
They also use the same connector cables.
You could try using your Mac's USB 1.1 ports.
It might work, but will be slow.

HT204053 iCloud says there is a problem and does not recognize my Apple ID or password.

A message box asks me to enter my password. I did (many times, and each time it makes a noise as if clicking an option is not available). I even created a new password and the message still will not go away. My new password works to log me into this community site as well as iTunes. It says my iCal and Contacts and Messages cannot connect to iCloud. iCloud will not let me signout, get support, or enter my "new" correct password.
Thus, I am not able to shut down my computer.
Please help me!
thank you,
Tiffany

Apple TV has a software bug.
Apple TV asks for your mac ID but in reality it wants your registered email address (not a .mac email but your alternate email address you used when setting up your itunes account.
I could not purchase any apple tv movie content because it kept saying my email address was wrong when logging in under my .mac account. There are a few issues with this...
#1) Why can't I enter a space in my apple ID on Apple TV when I can in iTunes where I can use that ID to purchase content?
#2) As mentioned above... do not use your apple ID when you login on apple TV... use your email address and password used to setup that first .mac account.
#3) Credit card info or pay options must be setup in advance on your computer to be able to purchase content from the Apple TV menus.

ITunes does not recognize password on iMac, but I can sign in to post here, sign in on my iPad, and sync my iPad to my iMac

If I want to sign in to this message board, I can do so. I can also sign in on my iPad to download updates, purchase new apps and songs, etc. And I can sync my iPad to iTunes on my iMac.
But when I open iTunes on my iMac, it asks for my password and I can't sign in. What is causing this problem with iTunes on my iMac repeatedly asking for my password when I open iTunes?
This is very frustrating. I am also worried that I won't be able to sync when my new iPad arrives March 16. Help!

The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password in iTunes on my iMac that I know is correct. For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac. I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
What is messing people up is that when iTunes does not recognize the correct password, people are attempting other passwords. Those other passwords are all incorrect. The problem, as you stated, is that the password was entered correctly the first time but because of iTunes having issues it does not recognize it.
People, just keep entering the password you know is correct. It will eventually recognize it, or at least this works for me. If this still does not work, reset your password (but then you may still have to enter it repeatedly in iTunes).
Apple needs to fix this.

IMovie 6.0.3 does not recognize built in iSight Camera on new iMac

New iMac, Intel, OS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.
Built in Camera works with Photo Booth, the new iMovie 7.1.3 and iChat.
iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 does not recognize the camera. Opening a new project results in a No Camera Connected error. I have tried selecting various options in the video format drop down when creating a new project. I have repaired permissions, tried it under various users, removed the imovie plist, reinstalled imovie (both 6.0.3 and 6.0.4) without success. All 10 of the new computers are exhibiting this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

That is not an option that I can select on the imac's. On my iBook under 10.5.4 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 I can click on the triangle next to the camera icon and select the built in iSight camera. On the new iMacs that does not work. The built in iSight is not listed as an option.

Thanks for the reply.
Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.
