IPhoto 6 and Camera Compatibility

I recently upgraded my OS to 10.5.8 from 10.4... I know very late. I had no intention until the upgrade to my iPhone 3GS required it. Regardless, I am running IPhoto 6.0.6 and it has worked fine. I own a Canon T1i EOS Rebel digital camera. Up until the conversion to Leopard, I would plug the camera into the port and iPhoto would open up and transfer the pics without an issue. Today, I tried to upload pictures, the USB cord was secure on both sides and nothing happened. I turned the camera on and off twice to see if by starting it up connected would change things, nothing did. I ensured that the battery is charged in the camera and that the sleep setting was not tampered with thus not allowing it to transfer.
I am suspicious about the upgrade to Leopard causing this incompatibility issue with my camera. When I did a search on the apple website, the page about iPhoto 6 and camera compatibility is a dead link. So a couple of questions if someone would be kind enough to help me out with:
1) Is the import of pictures not occuring because of an incompatibility issue between my camera and iPhoto 6 suddenly? Or is incompatibility between 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6?
2) What is the best solution? Upgrade to iLife '11? Or will that require upgrading to Snow Leopard as well? Or is it better to buy the $129 bundle of Snow Leopard, iLife and iWork for compatibility issues?
3) Lastly, is there a webpage on apple that shows these compatibility issues? For instance, if I upgrade one thing in the future, all the other software suites that need updating as well?
Thanks in advance to whomever can help me.
Cheers,
-Tod

1) Is the import of pictures not occuring because of an incompatibility issue between my camera and iPhoto 6 suddenly? Or is incompatibility between 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6?
Neither. The usual cause for this issue can be a damaged plist file, a setting on the camera or Mac or minor directory damage on the card.
Plist file: Can you access the card with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)? If so, you might try trash the iPhoto plist file, if not try trash the Image Capture plist file as well.
Settings: What's set to happen when you connect the camera? With iPhoto 6 that's in the Image Capture. Your camera has two modes for talking to the Mac: Mass Storage and PTP. What one are you set to? Try the other one.
Directory Damage: Have you tried using a USB Card Reader? Can the Mac see the card in that?

  • Printing from iPad photos, iPhoto, and camera settings

    I am trying to print from my iPad to a photo printer.  I am unable to change the size to a 4x6, therefore the printer will give me an error.  How can I change the photo print size?  I have tried to do through iPhoto and the other apps, but still can not change the size of print. 
    I did email the print to another computer, but that is not my desired sequence as I would like to take a picture and then print from my iPad to a desired size.
    Thanks,

  • Elements, iphoto and camera raw

    Hello
    I have a few problems and hope someone can help me out. I installed Elements 9 (including the camera raw update), iphoto 11, Snow Leopard on my iMac. I did all of this so I can continue to shoot raw in my new camera, the Nikon D7000. I find I cannot import photos using the organizer from iphoto...it says iphoto has no media available to me... I cannot export from iphoto to Elements..I just get a blank screen. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Am I missing something? I can drag jpegs into Elements but really went through all this upgrading and purchasing so i could shoot in raw. I have camera raw 6.6 installed, and cannot even find the camera raw window in Elements. I cannot load straight from the camera or card either... thanks in advance and I really hope someone has some ideas.
    Shannon

    Hello Shannon,
      Let me clarify a few things based on what you have said so far.
      First, the latest version of the Camera Raw plug-in is 6.3. By 6.6, I imagine you are referring to your version of the Mac OS: 10.6.6 (which is the latest version).
      Second, in order to import images directly from your iPhoto '11 catalog into your Elements Organizer 9 catalog, you have to have the 9.0.2 update installed.
      I refer you to the following documentation for further details:
    Use Photoshop Elements 9.0 with iPhoto | Mac OS
    Import media from iPhoto library (Mac OS only)

  • Upgrade to 3.5 and camera compatibility

    I'm debating whether to upgrade from FCE 3.0 to 3.5. My Sony camera is not listed under the supported devices (DCR-TRV22), HOWEVER - it wasn't listed either when I bought 3.0. yeah it's firewire and probably WILL work, but Apple Store will not allow a software return if it doesn't work...
    1) can anyone testify to this camera's compatibility...? (let me hear you say AMEN !!)
    2) are the enhancements in 3.5 with the $99 USD ?
    thanks, all

    The supported devices list has never been comprehensive and never can be. The DCR-TRV22 should work fine but if you have doubts, take it in to the Apple store and try it out. Many people do that before buying.
    In regard to FCE 3.5 yes there are new features, probably the most popular is the ability to fully keyframe effects. Check the FCE product info for more details.

  • Lightroom and camera compatibility?

    I read elsewhere where someone said their new camera was not compatible with Lightroom 2.0.  This struck me as a bit odd but I wanted to double check this before making the purchase.  I know my pc is compatible with 2.0.   My camera is Nikon D80 and I shoot in both JPEG and RAW. Thanks!

    The full list of supported camears can be seen here.

  • Istopmotion 2 and camera compatability

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a copy of i-stopmotion2 for animation and have been searching for a camcorder with a live feed to work in conjunction with the program. This is easier said than done.
    I've bought a JVC GZ-MG330 Hard Disk Camcorder which is compatible with my I-Mac. However, I can't get I Stop Motion 2 to recognise it as a source device. It only recognises the inbuilt webcam. Does this mean that the JVC camera is not compatible or am I missing something straightforward?
    Thanks

    the spec for the camera states it is USB connection only
    iStop requires a Firewire connection to work
    looks like you bought the wrong camera

  • I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

    I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail.   Both iTunes  and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it.  What is going on?

    Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • I recently uploaded some pics and videos from an ipad and a camera. I put them all on Iphoto and backed them up in my personal folder. I then trimmed one of the videos and dragged and dropped that into the master folder(pictures). Its now gone!! HELP!?!?!

    I rencently added all my photo's from my Ipad and Camera. There were photos and videos on both. The import was done through Iphoto and then transfered to my backup in my pictures folder. I then took one of my videos and trimmed it and then addded that trimmed version to my back up(pictures)albumn. It asked If i wanted to replace existing photo or cancel and I hit replace. Now the file plays great on Iphoto but I am unable to share it through any form(facebook, Imessage etc) and in my back up(pictures) it says the file in only 87kb. I dragged and dropped it from Iphoto to the desk top along with another important video, when I hit get info on both of them one of them is a full sized video(50mb or whatever) and the other one(the one I am trying to recover) is only the 87kb. I want this full file avaiable to me how can I get it back?? it is already deleted off the camera??? please please help me.

    Garret,
    is your movie in your backup folder a Quicktime movie? Then probably only have the Quicktime wrapper in your backup folder, but not the referenced media in the file fork of the movie. If you see the full quality movie in iPhoto in QuickTime player, don't drag it from the browser to the Desktop, but use "File > Reveal in Finder > Original File" to show the movie in your iPhoto Library. Select the Movie when it is revealed and ctrl-click it to open it in Quicktime Player.
    Export it from Quicktime Player with "Export to" and share it to iTunes. This way it will be converted to a .mp4 movie that embeds the missing resources.
    You can drag the converted movie from iTunes to the Desktop or share it using to Media Browser to other applications.

  • IPod Nano (5g) and cameras no longer appearing in iTunes or iPhoto

    I've recently been successfully syncing my iPod nano (5g) with iTunes v9.0.1 and two digital cameras with iPhoto '09 v8.1 - all on OS 10.6.1
    However last night my iPod nano was rejected by iTunes (error message I can't remember) and now the cameras are no longer recognised by iPhoto. So when I plug in either the iPod nano or either of the cameras none of them are recognised by iTunes or iPhoto and none of them appear in a Finder window.
    I've had a look at the Discussion boards and repeatedly tried rebooting but am still stuck. Also, plugging these peripherals into different USB ports has not made a difference.
    Another point which could be related... despite repeated attempts to Shut Down or Restart, each time the Shut Down does not quite complete (even after 10-15 mins) and I need to physically power off the Mac using the power button.
    Any ideas? Thanks,
    Simon

    Thanks KT, after following your advice the iPod nano and the two cameras are now visible in iTunes or iPhoto and also in Finder.
    The cameras continue to work consistently with iPhoto but since trying to complete a 'Restore' with the iPod nano I've had a string of error messages and it is now no longer useable. I'll be posting for help on this in the iPod discussion forum.

  • HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

    My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    Again, the photo sync is one way.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
    Not good.  You can e-mail the photos from your iphone.  You do not need to have phoe service for this.  The iphone uses wi-fi.  The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

  • I just downloaded 950 photos on iPhoto and deleted them off my camera and now under last import there is only 4 photos and i can't find the others?? There is a whole bunch of blank events in the library with no photos in them all with todays date? Help!!

    Yes - you need a min of 10 GB just to operate - with just 1 you certainly can lose photos and other critical things - you need to make space immediately - probably by moving your iPhoto library to a volume formatted Mac OS extended -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
