Can't connect my GoPro

How are you attempting to connect it? USB cable? What are you trying to do with it once you have it connected?
Attempting to connect via the GoPro USB cable. I tried iMovie and the GoPro Studio software. Nada to both. My computer doesn't see the camera. Once connected, I'd like to d/l the video I've taken onto my computer for editing.
Oh. Well it might not occur to everyone. Didn't occur to me the first time.
I'm assuming it doesn't show up in finder then too?
No worries! And you are correct sir, it's not in Finder either. Thats the first place I looked once the GoPro software didn't see the camera. Re-d/l the software, went to their page, followed the trouble shooting guidelines.......nada.
However, my iPhone sees it, controls it and I can play back the video on the phone via the GoPro app on the phone. I'm stumped!

You might try taking the microsd card out and plugging it in if you have a microsd to sd adapter.
Just to be clear on the definition of on, you are trying to use it when the screen is on, not just when the red light is on.

It's appears there's a compatibility issue with OSX...

I guess your only solution is to transfer using the go pro app then transfer from your iPhone to your computer unfortunately.
I did some more research and this is actually because of a software update that recently happened. If your go pro is running the latest software then this is normal, unfortunately. I just take my microsd card out of my go pro and put it into my computer. It's easier that way and plus I get faster transfer speeds.
so they are on GP v 5.0....lamest user experience ever.......EVER.....Seriously!
Every other camera developer on the planet is plug and play....EVERY ONE ..... GP no so much..... not that hard of a dev effort - (worked at Adobe, Cisco, Avid........and many others in M&E)
