Unsupported Files error - iphoto 08 (Camera Canon IXUS 80)

Over the last couple of weeks we have been getting unsupported file error when we try and import photo's to iphoto from our camera. The files are jpg's and it has only been happening since 2009. All our other photos (6,000) seem to be fine.
Any advise appreciated.

It means that your other library has some form of corruption.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that doesn’t help:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

Unsupported file error when uploading video file to iTunes U

I downloaded one of my video file and remove the track afterwards. However, when I trying to reload the video files back to the site again, I got "Unsupported File" error for some of them. My files are withing 50MB ~ 500 MB range, codec of H.264 and AAC.
Any suggestions/

Could someone please give some suggestions? I've been stuck with these "Unsupported File" for a week...

Video upload generating "unsupported file" error

Hi,
Today we're getting "unsupported file" error msg at the end of the video file uploads.
We are uploading the same type .mp4 with apple mp4compresson as we have previously without any changes.

I am having the same problem with .MP3 files. I even tried uploading a file that I had already uploaded last week and I got the same "unsupported file" error. The only thing that seems to have changed is the "Upload and Manage Files" interface and now nothing will upload. If there is any Apple people that could look into this it would be nice. I am also posting for a school, Santa Monica College.

New macbook pro, unsupported file error

Hi there,
I've just got my new Macbook Pro, have installed Aperture2 and performed a software update.
I get the 'unsupported file format' message when I import my RAW files. I can see the thumbnail, but no preview is rendered.
I have a Canon 5D MkII camera, for which the RAW update was released months ago, and works fine on my iMac.
The software update only listed the latest two cameras to receive RAW support, a Nikon and an Epsom, if that helps.
Thanks in advance - Chris

How to handle 30.00 fps mov-files shot with a Canon Ixus?

What's the best way to edit this material you think? What project settings should i use? Should i convert the fps somehow to 24 fps or 29.97 fps?

Juri,
Like you I own a Canon Ixus and I agree with you that they produce good enough video for the web. And why not be able to edit all material in your fine adobe product, after all you paid for it.
I have managed to solve this issue by installing the Morgan mjpeg codec.
I downloaded it from www.free-codecs.com/download/Morgan_M-JPEG_Codec.htm where can also find the link to purchase the full version if you should need. (don't know the limitations in the "demo")
I'm using kaspersky anti-virus and I could not detect any suspicious code in the mjpeg installation file however of course you download at your own risk.
Personally I haven't tested it extensively but so far import, edit, and export to mp4 has worked fine.
To edit, create a new sequence, click general and set it up as follows:
timebase: 30 frames/second.
Frame size 640 by 480
Fields: No fields, progressive scan
Display format: 30fps timecode
Sample rate:
Actually not sure, the ixus produces 11024Hz 88 kb/s Mono which is not available as a preset, so I've just set it to whatever sample rate other timelines in the same project uses. 48000Hz works fine for me, that's all I know.
Preview file format:
I've left this on what was the default; "I-Frame Only MPEG"
These settings work fine so far, provided that I have installed the Morgan mjpeg codec.
Hope this is of help to you.

Unsupported File Error??!! Help!

I am making a DVD with photos set to music. The other night, I previewed it before I closed the program... no problem.
Today, when I went to preview it, there was no sound where the first song should be (I didn't get any further to see if the subsequent songs were there or not.) An error appeared that said the song file was "unsupported file type - Video". (They are not video!! ) So, I went to ITunes and changed the song to another. Same message!! What is going on?? I've made many DVDs this way and NEVER had this happen. Help!! - this is a DVD to be played next week at a sports banquet and I have to make 20 copies, to boot!!
I am not very technical so I would greatly appreciate laymens' terms - thanks in advance
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I figured out the problem and thought I'd post the solution in case someone else has this happen (I noticed another poster with same problem, and no resolution...)
Last night, the computer froze while updating automatic software updates from Mac, so I shut it down. It must have been in the midst of the Itunes update. So I completed the updates, and voila, the sound is back with no error message!!

Repeated "Unsupported file" errors

We are currently working with an iTunes site that has +not been published yet+ and have encountered numerous "Error: Unsupported file" messages. The files are .MOV with H.264 video, AAC audio, and range from 200-700MB in size (my understanding is that 1GB is the limit). In some instances, different files that are part of the same video series, and have the exact same compression settings, will produce different results—some will upload and some will not, despite being almost identical. What else could be preventing these videos from uploading?
Please let me know if there is additional technical information that would be helpful in resolving this issue.

Hello. W e are experiencing a similar issue. I have tried to upload a number of .mov files into an iTunes U course, all of which were created using the same settings in the same software (iMovie). I successfully uploaded these to a previous course, but in my new course (we migrated to a new version of our LMS) some upload and others upload most of the way and then show "Error: Unsupported File." The files use H.264 encoding and have a resolution of 320x240, at a bit rate of approximately 196 kbps; audio is encoded as AAC at 32 khz. In my current "group" (tab), I have seven files, all with identical specs, only four of which uploaded successfully; the others fail repeatedly. Here is a link to the feed for that group: https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/su.edu.7654378499.07654378507/ 4D06150C-7BD4-E434-A707-D957F28BFEA5%40su.edu/004dc3056783a9f36e102baa64634e57ed c48337046e354042fce4399bcf62c66f1a278bd4
please advise; need these to be posted very soon!

Help, iphoto and aperture do not currently recognise files from my camera (Canon 5D).

They are J pegs or RAW files and they have been recognised previously). It seems to have a problem since I've shot them together.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Canon IXUS 950 won't import large AVI files into iPhoto

The new canon Ixus 950 IS wont import large (over 50mb) AVI files in iPhoto, why not?
They sit on the SD card and then sometimes subsequent pics and video's don't upload.
If there are say, 3 x 40mb files they dont upload either... After waiting ages the box pops up, unable to import.
I can individually import the AVI files under 50mb
I also note that the hard drive icon for the camera does not appear on the desktop or the finder so I could not 'drag' them in either...
Any ideas?
David

I have a similar problem with importing large AVIs from my Canon A610. iPhoto would import everything else (usually) except the large AVIs, which it claims is unreadable. In this particular case (~470MB file), it plays in QuickTime, I've resaved it using QT (still won't import) and converted it from MJPEG to Cinepak (still won't import). I'm now considering cutting the AVI up into smaller chunks and importing those... but any other options before that?
Misc computer details: Main HD is 120GB with 30 for Boot Camp, 80 remains for Mac OS X, but the iPhoto Library is on an external HD (also 120GB, same model as internal HD except not SATA) formatted to FAT32. Would 10.4.11 make a difference here?

My Canon 5D Mark 3 camera..I cannot download Raw files using iPhoto help please

Canon 5D Mark 3 I cannot download Raw file in iPhoto help please?

You will need OS X 10.7.4 and iPhoto 11 or Aperture 3 for this.
What do you have?

Can't import raw photo files to iPhoto from my new Canon S90

Just bought a new Canon point & shoot, the S90. It allows you to shoot raw, which I did. When I went to upload the image files to iPhoto, I got an error message -- files could not be imported; they may be an unrecognized file type.
I've uploaded raw files from my Canon 40D SLR to iPhoto successfully.
Why the error message with raw files from a new point/shoot?
Greg

RAW support is specific to each camera and until Canon gives Apple the specs and Apple sees enough demand to move that new RAW above the others
See this Aperture thread for a long discussion including several hopeful long term solutions to teh entire issue of each RW being different - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2267766&tstart=0
LN
PS - it took about 10 seconds to fond a google thread indicating that Apple does not yet support the S90

40D raw .CR2 files still causing 'Unsupported Image File' error

I have the most recent version of Leopard 10.5.1 and the newest version of Aperture 1.5.6 (2J2). Often times I open a RAW image shot with a Canon 40D (.cr2 file), I get the red screen "unsupported Image File" error message. Color mode is RGB. These were shot with RAW plus JPEG (not SRAW). It doesn't happen on every image shot at the same time in the same way, just some of the images. Can anyone advise why I would still be having this issue so long after Apple is offering 40D support? I've tried rebuilding my library data base to no success. I've tried reinstalling aperture. What next? Getting very frustrated, thanks!

I use Nikons and sometimes get a message like that. This might not be Aperture causing this. Blow out the connector holes on your memory cards and pins inside the cameras where the card connects. If the error is on the same frames all the time reformat your card a couple of times before using and make sure the card is seated properly. Don't turn off the camera immediately after taking the shot but let the camera finish the process of writing the photo frame onto the card.
Have you opened the frames in Preview to check if it see it?

TS1315 when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an unrecognizable format. It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic.

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.

I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you

IPhoto & Image Capture don't detect Canon Ixus 850 IS in one identity

So, bear with me on this one, it's a long saga:
Canon Ixus 850is doesn't appear as a device to have photos imported from one identity on my iMac, but does work on others.
Symptom: Plug in the camera and it doesn't "switch" into computer mode (preview screen goes blank, card reader light flashing. It does this in another identity on the same computer. System profiler shows it connected to the USB port. Image capture -> Browse Devices shows the camera, but it's not "connected".
Things I've Tried:
PRAM reset
Permission repair multiple times
Removing all the user's start up items
clicking "connect" in Image Capture -> Browse Devices (nothing happens)
new USB cable
different camera -> I take this to mean it's not the camera's problem, but the mac. Another canon isus (different model) has the same problem.
iPhoto library rebuild
Removing image capture preference files
Multiple restarts
All software is up to date (OSX 10.5.7 & iPhoto 8.0.3)
Reinstalling canon software
I'm at a total loss. Any ideas (except for using a memory card reader
Thanks!
Matt

Ah ha! Interesting output. But I have no idea what it means
