Video content on Canon camera not recognised - can"t import

Hi, I can't see this problem has been posed recently but I am unable to import video content from my Canon 5D Mk11 camera into iMovie. When I connect the camera to my Mac Appeture opens (which is set as default) and enables me to import the stills on the camera. However, when I open iMovie and click on the import from camera icon all I get is the default of the iSight camera. I have previously imported from this camera but can't recall doing it since I upgraded to Snow Leapard. Can anyone offer any advice? Many thanks.

If you get no better suggestions, keep uploading your Canon still files into Aperture, but try uploading its videos to your Mac's iPhoto. You can import videos into iMovie from iPhoto.

Canon cameras not recognised in iPhoto 11

Hi, since upgrading to iPhoto 11 my canon cameras (Powershot A3000 and eos 350D) are not recognised. The eos shows 'busy' on the screen but does not show up in iPhoto, and the powershot does nothing. The cameras are not showing in System Profiler of Image Capture either, and do not mount onto the desktop (they have never done that).
I have checked the firmware of the eos and it looks as if it has the latest version.
Does anyone have any ideas what to do next?
Many thanks
Lisa

I've been away on holiday so it's been a while since I've bothered to try & sort this... however, today I looked through the related software updates for Canon EOS 350D (http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010192.asp) and downloaded 2 updates just for the **** of it (http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0039362.asp?model= and http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0039378.asp?model=) and I'm guessing one of them resolved the issue, because when I connected up my camera and switched it on, iPhoto swung into action and there was my camera!
Yippee!! Normal service has been resumed!

After the update to Lightroom 5.7, the profile of my lenses have disappeared in the camera calibration, how can I import them again because I gave you mine Extra gespeicher. I'm working on a PC.

Can we see a screenshot that includes the filename you're viewing with its extension and the camera Make list?
What is almost always the case when someone says they are missing most of their lens profiles is that their current image is not a raw file. It doesn't matter whether you shoot raw, it matters what the current images is. Maybe it is an exported JPG or a Edit-In-whatever result file that's a TIF or PSD or JPG.
Here are examples of the screenshot that I'm asking for:
Raw files show 24 items in the Make list:
While non-raw files have only 9 items + None in the Make list:

It sounds like you use Quest as your ISP, or whoever you have as your ISP is being taken over by Quest. If this is the case it is possible that your email server is being transitioned to Quest and you will need to change your email address and server settings.
I am only speculating since I do not have enough information. I suggest calling your ISP or Quest and ask their help desk about this.

Dv camera not recognised pe10

hi cant get my panasonic nv-dx110 recognised by premier elements 10. my sony dcr-tr7000e has no problems. it has full remote etc. but the pano is not recognised at all, i have tried refreshing the device listings in the registry, but to no avalil!!
using w7 64 bit

According to this SITE, your Panny should work just fine.
However, there can be issues:
FW cable - but if it works with your Sony, it should be fine.
FW connector on the computer - but if it works with your Sony, it should be fine.
FW controller, either on the MoBo, or a FW card - but if it works with your Sony, it should be fine.
FW connector on your Panny - try it on another computer, or with other Capture software to test.
The order that you are turning on PrE's Capture module, or the camera. See below).
Plug in the camera, turn it on, and set to the necessary Mode, such as VCR (do not know that camera) launch PrE and select theand test.
Plug in the camera, launch PrE, then choose Capture, turn on camera, and select Mode.
Variations on above.
Some cameras need things done is a certain order, and that order can make a major difference. When you find the right combo, make note of it.
Good luck,

Camera not recognised Premiere Elements - Vista

Just moved to Vista (new PC) and find that when trying to use Adobe Premiere Elements 4 my Sony dcr-pc110e digital handycam is not recognised! This is strange as if I connect my camera (via firewire)and turn it on it automatically starts Premiere...also sometimes it will start the camera running (you leave it in pause mode) but not actually capture any footage. I must have a setting wrong somewhere but I can't see what...the firewire card and camera are recpgnised by windows and do not report any problems...in Premiere itself it says no device detected and device offline..!looked on the adobe site and have been through their solutions but as I said all seems ok in this area...Works perfectly on my wife's XP machine. Tried turning off firewalls etc...no joy...Any assistance gratefully received.
Al

Hi Al & others
I also moved to a new notebook & VISTA around May.
I haven't done any editing for months now.
We bought Pr.El4 so that it would work with Vista.
I by chance also have a SONY PC110E. When I plug it in & press play on the camera it doesn't even start-up Pr.El. Then if I start up Pr.El separately it doesn't see that there is a camera attached.
So my problem seems a bit different to yours but your issue doesn't bode well for helping me.
Do I need to do something to tell Pr.El that the camera is there. I did the set-up for my camera & Pr.El2 on my old computer so long ago that I can't remember if anything is required
If you get any advice from Adobe please let me know
Thanks

Canon scanner not recognised after Mac wakes up.

Hi
I have been using a Canon LIDE 60 scanner since I bought my eMac 4 or so years ago. It's always worked fine.
But since upgrading to Leopard a few months ago I've been having trouble with it.
What happens is that after the Mac goes into deep sleep mode (it's set to have the hard drive sleep too) and the scanner is not recognised after the computer wakes up.
I get an error message when I open up a TWAIN program (CanoScan Toolbox or Image Capture) saying that there is no scanner available.
Sometimes, usually actually, if I disconnect the USB cable and then re-attach it the scanner becomes available again. But sometimes not.
I have what I believe to be the most recent driver for this scanner, dl'd recently from Canon's web site. First I uninstalled the old driver and then restaterd my eMac before installing the new driver.
I'm using whatever version of Image Capture came with Mac OS and I'm using CanoScan Toolbox version 4.9.3.4 (version 5.0 does not work at all).
Any way to get this to stop happening?

1080i video from a Canon HF200 not displaying correctly after iMovie/iDVD

I'm not a technical person, so pardon my lack of technical terms.
I recorded video with a Canon HF200 HD video recorder in 1080i. When I plug the camera into my TV via HDMI and watch the video, it's gorgeous.
When I export the video to iMovie it still looks fine ON THE SCREEN. Same in iDVD. When I burn the DVD and play it, it looks like CACA!!!! The video stops filling up the screen and creates a black band on the top and bottom of the video.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? Would Final Cut Express 4 fix the problem and minimize the workarounds that I need to get HD video to display properly in iMovie?

in iDVD, instead of "Share to iDVD", Share to Media Browser, at the highest resolution, i think they call it "HD". That will import it into a .mov file (that now resides within the iMovie project file). Open up iDVD and open up Media browser then iMovie and you should fine that version there. Drag it into iDVD and make the DVD. The "share to iDVD" option looks like "caca". This version, while hardly HD, looks a LOT better and may be tolerable. DVD by definition, is a compression, I would not dummy down your camera, that could only make it worse. I'm not sure about the black lines. You exported it (from camera to iMovie) at the 16:9 ratio I assume?

Plug-in for Canon iPF8400 not recognised in Photoshop CC 2014. Lost Topaz and Nik Software as well.

I have just updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and lost the plug-ins for Canon iPF8400 printer, Topaz Labs, and Nik Software. I had been asked if I wanted to migrate plug-ins and said yes. I have dropped the plug-ins into the Photoshop plug in folder but they are note being recognised.

Similar problems here with Topaz Labs plug-ins.
Unfortunately I have now uninstalled Photoshop CC so the option of copying them into Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer viable and Photoshop CC 2014 simply does not recognise them.
Waiting for response from Topaz labs

My old DV, CANON DCR-TRV 18E can be imported to iMove09?

I have an old DV, CANON DCR-TRV18E, with the cable 1394 connected to iMove but was not being found(there is only isight in the DV list). Doesn't it support? if not, what can I try? Thanks!

Hi
See if my list can be of help. Your Camera should work - mine DCR-TRV 900E works nicely.
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• 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)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
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)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• 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) ?
*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 Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

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..?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
*No Camera or bad import*
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Camera Raw and Canon S95 Not Recognised

Hi,
I have bought the extremely expensive Photoshop CS5 in summer and I have been waiting Camera Raw opens Raw files shooted with my compact camera Canon Powershot S95 (on the market since August).
Can you please fix the problem or should I wait till the next model of compact camera?
Thank you

Note that there is a Camera Raw 6.3 beta copy available. I don't know whether it understands your camera.

Camera not recognised

I have a JVC Model GZ-MG27-E Video camera with USB 2.0 output (no fire-wire)
This camera type is not on the list of recognised cameras for Final Cut Express HD
1) Is there a software patch available that will enable it to be recognised?
2) Does Final Cut Express HD only work with a Fire-wire interface?
3) Am I stuck with incompatable hardware and software?

The Apple list of qualified devices is not comprehensive, never has been, never will be. Nearly any miniDV camera with FW will work with FCE, with some you might not have device control but you can still capture & print to tape.
FCE works with DV video via FW. Those are the two key specs to look for - DV and FireWire. MPEG-2 and FW don't make it, you'd still have to use one of the techniques I mentioned earlier.
Are you sure the model 37E supports DV and FW ? The spec sheet doesn't mention them, only MPEG-2 and USB, just like the 27E.

When posting a video to Facebook from Camera app, how can I see the upload progress?

Normally I use the ProCamera app to upload photos and videos from my iPhone 5S but I'm having trouble with it lately so I switched the standard Camera app to post a video to Facebook. I know it successfully posted, I received a notification after a while but is there any way to tell the progress of an upload in Camera? ProCamera displays an uploading message at least but I don't see anything in the Camera app.

Did you have 'find my iPhone' activated on it? Because if you go to iCloud.com you can log in there and you can remotely lock or wipe your device. From what I hear, the police won't do anything about going and fetching stolen iPads and iPhones, but if you have find my iphone/ipad/ipod/mac turned on then it will give you a map of where it is.
Just keep in mind that sometimes iTunes does ask you for your password regardless, and only a few weeks ago apple brought in security questions, so everyone had to fill in security questions for their iTunes account to make it more secure If all else fails, ring Apple cusomer support and they might be able to bar your account or something, however you may have to make a new account (the might be able to set it up so you have all your previous information on a new account)
Hope this helps!
