Upgraded to 10.7 camera is no longer recognized

I guess I can restarting again, but basically I plug in my Nikon 2500 and it doesn't matter if I start iPhoto before or after. The camera never shows up, not in iPhoto, not in Finder, not on the desktop.
I took another picture, it has a specific button for upload/play. It has worked for years. I've had that camera longer than this mac.
Any ideas?

How long has it been since you reformatted your camera storage card? iPhoto does not really see your camera - it sees a FAT32 formatted mass storage device - if that device is corrupted it will not recognize it. A recommended work flow it to use a USA card reader and place the card in it and import your photos to iPhoto, do not have iPhoto delete the photos but put the card back in the camera and use its format command to reformat the care and erase it - this renews your card format each time you use it
For the photos you have on the card now your choices are:
1 - iPhoto (which is not seeing the card)
2 - image capture (in you applications folder) which probably will not work either
3 - The finder if your camera mounts the storage device to the desktop so you go directly into it
4 - trying a different computer
5 - trying a USB card reader (a good investment for the future)
6 - seeing if a recovery program like media recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ - the free trail version will inspect your card and see what you will be able to recover - you will have to purchase to actually recover files
Once you get your photos I recommend that you reformat the card after each use

After an upgrade to Mavericks - my Video Camera is no longer recognized by the system (JVC Everio HD video camera)

I just upgraded to Mavericks (up from Mountain Lion) last week. Today, I tried to upload movies to my MacBook Pro, and it no longer 'sees' the camera when plugged into the USB port. I have tired iMovie, iPhoto, and also direct access, via the hard drive. Nothing works. I have even restarted the computer with the camera plugged in and it is still not being recognized, and I cannot get the movies 'out' of the camera. I have never had a problem before , In fact I loaded movies last week, just by pluggin it into the USB.
Are there ANY suggestions on how or what to do for it to start to pick up on the fact that my video camera is indeed plugged in and has movies that can be imported?
Thanks!

My Sony AVCHD cam is no longer recognized when "logging and transferring"

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
I have some footage on a Sony HD cam. When I connect it to the mac, the drive appears just fine. When I go to "log and transfer" it no longer begins loading itself. When I try to manually select the disk and open it, I get this - "(this drive)... contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
When I try this with my other identical Sony HD cam, it works just fine, like it always has.
When I try to "repair image," it finds no problems.
The only difference between the two, is that the non-working one was plugged into a Windows machine to manually upload a couple MTS files to youtube. No formatting was done.
How can I get my FCE to recognize my camera again?
Thanks!

I FIGURED IT OUT!
I had manually deleted some videos via Finder but remnants of the files were still on the camera itself. So, by looking in the STREAM folder, I could find where there were gaps, locate those files on the camera and then delete them. Once these "ghost" files were gone, my camera popped up in the Log and Transfer window immediately.
Hallelujah.

Upgrade to new Extreme, old Express no longer recognized.

Original setup: 2009 iMac (Mavericks), Airport Extreme (A1143), Airport Express (A1264-extending range). All worked fine, and worked equally well on new iMac retina (Yosemite).
Upgraded to Airport Extreme 802.11ac (A1521) on the retina iMac. Works great, but not quite to the other corner of the house. However the system no longer recognizes either the early Airport Extreme or Express. Where is the problem? Yosemite? Airport Utility? Hardware incompatibility?
Current solution: place the new Airport Extreme in the middle of the house with long ethernet cable. But I’d like to use the Express to drive remote speakers. All devices connected are at least “n” capable.

My camera is no longer recognized by firefox and won't work in websites such as facebook etc. Is this because of a plug in? How do I restore origical settings?

In both my gmail and facebook, firefox does not pick up/turn on my iSight camera when it should, saying there is no camera detected.

I'm having the same problem... just got a new iPhone 3GS in addition to the older 3G model. I need to synch them both with home (music, photos, videos etc. master) and work computers (Contacts, Calendar master).
This worked no problem on the older 3G model, the 3GS synched with my home computer but my work once I get the following message: "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click restore to restore this iPhone to its factory settings".
I've tried re-starting both iPhone and computer, un-installing and re-installing iTunes / QuickTime / Apple Mobile Device Manager etc.; different USB ports etc. and still the problem exists...
Please help.

After Upgrading to IOS5, iPad 1 Is No Longer Recognized by iTunes

Hi,
My iPad 1 with wifi/3G was working perfectly until I updated to iOS5. The update process seemed to have gone fine but at the end my iPad showed up in iTunes as an unrecognized device. Not only that, iTunes then gives the message: "We are unable to complete your activation at this time."
I have tried restarting my computer, restarting the iPad, restaring the iPad in safe mode, etc. Nothing has worked so far. I can't even restore the iPad since iTunes won't recognize it nor activate...
Anyone has any ideas how to resurrect the iPad?
Thanks in advance!
Anna

Sony Cybershot No Longer Recognized in iPhoto

Just did a recent software update that my iBook let me know about this past Saturday. One of those updates I installed involved something to do with importing pictures from cameras. Now, my Sony camera is no longer recognized in iPhoto and I never had any complication with this before the update. Is there a way to reverse the installation of the upgrade or is there a soltuion?

This sounds more like a software problem than an iBook problem. You might try posting your question in the iPhoto forum where all the smart photographers hang out. They probably have experience in dealing with this sort of issue.
Good luck!

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.
