Also, try this:
Open the Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder) and set the default audio output to 44100hZ. Try the camera again.
If no luck try these:
iMovie: Cannot See or Control Camera

  • Using Video CAMERA with Connect pro

    We reciently purchased this product and were told that it
    would work with video cameras. We have a Panasonic that we are
    using with vista. this camera works with Premiere Pro, and there is
    nothing wrong with it. I know that Connect is not software based it
    is an Internet Application. How ever i know that the OS (vista)
    "sees" the camera because it works with other programs. Sorry i am
    connecting with IEEE not USB
    Has anyone out there in the world has success with getting a
    video camera using IEEE connection to work fully. Audio and Video
    coming through the camera?
    Is anyon aware of drivers for either the camera or the IEEE?
    And if the Connect product does not support this... WTF?
    thanks

    Connect does work with IEEE1394 Firewire Cams, just not with
    all Firewire Cams. (USB cams also are not all working).
    I would suggest to first try out the cam from different
    machines with different OSs (Vista might well be the sole issue
    here), also try if you can get an ordinary USB cam to work.
    If all fails, you can workaround that using a virtual camera
    driver, piping the firewire cam into the virtual cam and in Connect
    you can load the virtual cam with the image of the Firewire cam.
    Not a nice way round, but it would work.
    If you google for "Adobe Connect camera compatibility matrix"
    you get a "slightly" outdated list of supported cameras.

  • My camera wont connect lg ally

    Have you tried pulling the Battery when this happens? Try dismounting the MicroSD card and then launch the Camera.  You won't be able to take any pictures but I want to see if the SD Card is causing the Camera issue...  If the same thing happens you can put the Card back in the Ally.....  If a Battery pull doesn't help, the next step would be to do a Master Reset, which is a pain but would be the last step before calling Service...  If the master Reset down't help then I would contact Verizon Support to see what else they can do to assist you.

  • Ipod and camera wont connect

    I have owned my MacBook 10.5.8 for 2 years. I do a lot of photography and I have a canon digital SLR. I also have an 8g IPOD touch. I have never had any problems connecting these devices until recently. Whenever I connect either of these devices my MAC doesn't read them. It doesn't even show that they are plugged in, but my IPOD will charge when connected. I have installed all the software updates/upgrades, checked many many forums and can not fix the issue. I know that it isn't my USB ports b/c I can see and use my external hard drives and printers in the same USB hubs. I am not sure if there is a certain setting that got changed that isn't allowing my MAC to read and transfer data from these two devices but it is really frustrating. IPHOTO nor ITUNES reads either device, therefore no more pictures or music???? I really hope someone can help? I don't know what changed bc like I said I have always done things the same and all of a sudden I cant.

    Well I figured out the problem with my IPOD touch. I was using a generic USB/power cord for the device for my house and the original APPLE USB for my car. The IPOD wasnt connected to my MAC with the generic power cord, but it does with the apple original cord. This still does not explain my camera problem? I have used it many times before and can't connect to IPHOTO hmmmmmmmmmm

    Hey Bullsaai,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    If you try to press the volume keys on the side of the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone when you're in the camera application, does it zoom in or out?
    When was the last time the zoom was working on this BlackBerry smartphone?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Sony video walkman wont connect with premiere pro#

    the device is a sony vide walkman GV-D1000E, when connected to the pc using moviemaker or adobe on location it connects and functions as expected however when trying in the capture screen  no image appears and its says capture device offline.
    no drivers were released for this device as its always been aimed as a plug and play , now before you say it yes it is old and probably designed to work with older operatings systems but if it works in other programs why not premiere pro?
    thanks for any help in advance!
    Lou

    If i am not mistaken the walkman has dv in and out over firewire.
    Connect walkman to pc with i-Link.
    Turn pc and walkman on.
    Fire up Premiere and open project, make sure its set to dv.
    You might want to set the windows driver for the 1394 to Legacy.

  • Problem with FireWire Hard Drive and JVC MiniDV Video Cam

    I've been running my iMac with a 1 TB WD MyBook Firewire drive and it has been working fine.
    I just purchased a JVC GR D850 miniDV camera. I hooked the camera up to the second FireWire port on my iMac and, initially, the import of the video from the camera into iMovie was ok (video being saved to the external firewire drive). After a couple of minutes, I got a warning that a device had been disconnected improperly, apparently the firewire drive just disconnected itself from the machine. I rebooted everything and once again, as soon as I turned on the video camera the drive disconnected.
    After that, the iMac won't even recognize that the video camera is connected, and when I checked the little bit of video that had been saved on the drive it was unusable. Completely choppy.
    Am I dealing with a problem of too little power/memory on this G5 iMac?

    You don't specify which model iMac you have, but 2 GB should be enough to handle a video download. Can you try connecting the camera to another computer to see if it is faulty?
    Also, have you tried connecting the camera to the port that you have the MyBook in?
    Try resetting the SMU and see if that helps. Please post back with results,

    I totally understand.
    Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
    Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
    Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
    I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.

    You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576  Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
    Quick delivery and willing to help.
    Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
    Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"

  • How do I connect my Sony HD video camera to work as my webcam on a mac-mini

    I have just purchased a 2.5GHz 4Mb mini-mac.  I am using a Samsung HD TV and want to use a Sony HD video camera as a webcam.  I have mini-display port, HDMI port and thunderbolt port on the mini-mac.  The video camera has mini HDMI port and I have mini HDMI to HDMI cable.  I also have HDMI to mini-disply connector.  So far I have tried connecting the TV via the HDMI to HDMI cable and the camera via mini HDMI to HDMI/HDMI mini-display convertor to the mini-mac.  The TV is showing the display but the video camera (turned on!) doesn't automatically appear or show in either Finder or as available when I am trying to set up Skype.  Then tried swapping the two around at the mini-mac with the TV now going through the HDMI to mini-display convertor and the camera going to the HDMI port.  Same results as previous set-up.
    Can this be made to work? Is there a HDMI to thunderbolt convertor that will work?   Is this plug and play technology or are there more complicated set-up [rocedures?  Any help much appreciated.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.
