10.4.6 problem...digital camera

I am a photographer, using a new MacBook Pro 2.16 for tethered capture with a Canon 5D SLR. I'm using a new Release Candidate of PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro software. (v.3.7.4).
My MacBook Pro worked perfectly with the new software, under 10.4.5, but when I upgraded to 10.4.6, the camera (which connects via USB) would not connect. Not once. The computer knew the camera was there, because it attempted to make the connection, but it just kept spinning, and would keep spinning indefinitely unless I quit the software.
I restored the MacBook back to 10.4.5, and reinstalled everything, and it worked fine again. This was before I saw the firmware upgrade, which I haven't installed.
I realize this is a VERY specific circumstance, but does anyone have any idea what might be happening? I'm willing to try the firmware upgrade and then see if it works, but I'd like to find a good backup utility that can easily take me back to my previous 10.4.5 install if it doens't work again. any suggestions?
Thank you,
greg

Dave,
Get an external Firewire hard drive and Prosoft Data Rescue. This will let you extract information from your otherwise unbootable system. Once that is done, then you can attempt to repair it with Alsoft Disk Warrior. If that won't repair it, then replace the internal hard drive.

Zen Vision:M, Mediasource transfer problem and Digital Camera

It used to work. Norton 360 has made a mess of lots of things...
I can no longer transfer via Mediasource to my Zen Vision:M 60gb. I can view, play and rename files from Mediasource and I can transfer to the Vision:M via windows explorer (of course you don't get the benefits of gracenote or other tag modification programs). I have also noticed that on my XP "My Computer" the device shows up as both MY Zen (digital player) and and as Zen? DVP-HD004 as a Digital Camera. Is the digital camera piece related to the problem and/or normal?

The 60GB has a USB host feature for transfering pictures directly to the player that the 30GB does not have.Since the motherboard is not the same that makes sense.Have you tried turning off your Anti-Virus when you need to transfer files?

First, try disabling the camera notification for the iPod. See this article for details on how to do this.

Iphone shows as Digital Camera on XP Pro. Problem?

I'm on my second 3G S because of problems syncing (disk cannot be found, read from, written to messages). I just noticed under My Computer that it is listed as a Digital Camera, not as a hard drive or as removable media.
Anyone think this could be the cause of my syncing problems?
Anyone know how to change this?

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) to my iPad, this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before. Is this problem due to the IOS 6 update? How can I fix it?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Problem with Aperture 2 and Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1

Has anyone using Aperture 2 experienced problems with the Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1. It may be purely coincidence but, since downloading this on March 3, I get the dreaded red screen and unsupported image format on my previously downloaded and edited RAW photos. I use a Pentax k-7 with which, once set up, I have had no problems until now!
Please - any help would be very gratefully received

That probably explains why any checks that your computer did to see if the Camera Raw update was okay to apply didn't stop it. You should probably contact Apple and explain that they broke something that was working fine previously.
A few people have reported backing off Camera Raw 3.1 and going back to Camera Raw 3.0 for now. This note is one of the ones I've found describing how to do that, if you wish to try that. Or, you could head down the path Apple means to lead you on and upgrade to Aperture 3.

Problem importing still photos from digital camera. Any help please?

I wanted to put together a little Premier Pro CS5 project using 20 stills from my Sony digital camera. When I go through the various options to import them
into my project (Import, Import through Bridge, etc) I get 20 different file names in the Project panel but instead of 20 different photos (as expected) I have 20 copies of the same photograph.
Wow, that is frustrating. The closest item in the support logs I could find was this one (see below), but that work around is both over my head and very time consuming.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/730233
I found another discussion along these same lines and it appears that no solution has been found.
I hope I am not asking too much of my $1,000 software program to say, "Please pull in these 20 pics so I can work with them in the timeline." I just want to hit import and go.
I am using a Win7 computer with a Sony camera taking 3 mega-pixel shots. Again, all looks to be going well (all 20 filenames in project panel are different) but when those files are opened they are all the same picture.
I've rebooted, opened and close PrPro, tried renaming the pics from the standard dsc123.jpg convention to something else - all to no avail. I would find it hard to believe that a program this powerful could struggle with such a simple chore - am I doing something incorrect?
Thank you for any help!

More info about the issue. This is also a hit-and-miss error, as once you find a way that will appear to work and you say to yourself, "Finally! I figured it out!"
But once you go to the next photo to pull it in and get on with your project you find that you are pulling in multiple copies of the same picture as the one
you just pulled in.
This same problem occurs if you attempt to import using the Media Browser, and as an interesting footnote, the Media Browser window has a drop down
list. When you click each of your different file names, there it is - the same picture. I've invested 1.5 hours in attempting to find a work-around by importing, renaming, saving, right-clicking, using context menus - everything my 43 years of computer use can muster - but still no luck.
The last time that I created a project similar to this (a mix of video and stills) it worked just fine so that is even more of a head-scratcher for me.
I even went back and re-imported the pics that worked fine into the project that I am struggling with and they came in fine - no duplication. But vacation pics are the only copies I have and I just need to import these 20 shots and get to work on them.
I would be willing to let someone get my IP address and connect directly like my IT folks at work do so they could see what is going on with this.
Thank you again for any assistance!

Digital Camera Connection Problems With Leopard

Hi Everyone,
I'm having a big problem with connecting various digital cameras to my macs. I have 3 different machines (a G5 iMac, 2 MacBook Pros) all running 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 and none of them will recognize my canon Powershot SD800 or my SD1000. I haven't had a chance to test it out with my Digital Rebel yet but I'm suspecting I may run into the same issue.
I've read through all the tech notes in the iLife section and various articles on the web and from what I can tell Apple has a problem with usb device connections in Leopard. I've tried all of the fixes (deleting caches folder, resetting PRAM, updating all applications, etc) and nothing works. The cameras were working fine under 10.4.11. I was really hoping Apple would have fixed this in 10.5.2 but it is still not working. Does anyone have any ideas if Apple is working on this? For photographers like myself this is a major deal. I can get around the issue right now using an external memory card reader, but that's extremely inconvenient at times and I'm just not impressed that something like this has gone months without a fix from Apple.

And I'm not having any problems with Leopard mounting my Canon PowerShot Pro or Rebel though I typically don't connect them, choosing to use a card reader instead. (Saves camera battery.) This is true on the 4 computers I use at home and work as well as my wife's MacBook. Two came with Leopard pre-installed the other 3 I installed Leopard using Archive & install.
We can talk about how you upgraded to Leopard or what you have installed that might be getting in the way, or you can buy an inexpensive card reader and be done with the hassle.

Connecting to Digital Camera - Problems

When I connect the fifth gen ipod to the fujifilm digital camera it downloads the pictures with no problem, I copied 4 compact flash cards to the ipod. I then connected a Sony digital camera to the ipod it said it had finisheddownloading the pictures but when I checked the ipod all including the fujifilm pictures had disappeared!!
Now when I connect the ipod to the camera it says there are no pictures on the card when clearly there are! The only way around this is to format the ipod!
Has anyone come across this problem?

Reset Your iPod and try again, you've probarbly just had a glitch!

Problem uploading from Sony digital camera

I have iPhoto 2.0.1. I've never had problems with this before, but today this happened:
When I try to upload photos, I connect my Sony MVC CD 400 digital camera and switch it on. iPhoto opens automatically as usual, but, I get a message "No camera selected."
Any help for me?
Thanks so much,

I can't transfer movies from iphoto to imovie taken with my sony cybershot digital camera. Is there a solution?
Sony CyberShot digital camera store their clips as MPEG VX (MPEG-1) files which are not edit compatible with iMovie '08 or conversion compatible with QT/QT applications. Use a free third-party, MPEG-based converter like MPEG Streamclip or iSquint to convert the files to an iMovie "edit" compatible compression format. MPEG Streamclip can convert to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 formats and iSquint only to MPEG-4 or H.264.

Since Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.03 Aperture no longer supports by 20D CR2 images. Is this a known problem? And when it going to be fixed?

Has anyone else run into this problem since the update?

The Raw support for Canaon EOS 20D is built directly into the Mac OS X, since Mac OS X Lion, see:
OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371
This is independent of Aperture. What is the problem? Do you get "unsupported image format" error messages?

Ive been to the ipod store multiple times and they seem to fix my problem every time while im there but once i get home its still there... the problem is that i connect my ipod to the computer and it shows up as a digital camera but wont show on the compu

so my ipod is not operating properly and im tryin to fix it and ive been to the genius bar twice now and when im there it seems like theyve gotten it to work but once i return home my ipod is unable to connect to itunes, the computer picks it up as a digital camera and i can not connect it to itunes... now honestly all i want to do is put some music on there, but the computer wont allow me to do that at all so any ideas?

- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification

- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

Digital camera SD card problem

I have a fujifilm digital camera and I got it two years ago, the usb cord went missing long ago because I always plugged my camera's blue SD card into my HP computer instead. Now that I've had a macbook for a year, to get pics on it I have to put the SD in my HP, transfer them onto a thumbdrive and plug that into my mac...now my HP computer decided to keel over and die so..l and I wanted to know if there's SD card adapters for macbooks??? I've wanted one for a while but now I really need it because there's no way for me to transfer my pics onto my computer without a memory card slot!! And it's obvious my mac doesn't have one..sooo any insight??

The common USB card reader for SD cards should be adequate.
Some of these card readers may require you to put the Card into
the Reader, then plug the reader into the computer's USB port.
Others may do OK if the reader is first attached to the computer
and then the card is put into it. (I have both kinds; and prefer to
put the card into the reader, then plug the combination into Mac.)
Also, replacement cords for the camera to connect to computer
should be available. Depending on the type of port in camera body,
the replacement cord may be a common one with small plug on
one end and standard USB2.0/1.1 plug on the other end. ($6.?)
My Panasonic digital camera uses an SD card for image captures
and I've used a card reader specific to SD cards successfully w/ it.
The card reader I have looks like an adapter, with USB2 plug on
one end and a slot for the two most common SD cards in the other.
(But most often, I use a standard USB camera cord and power-on
the camera to transfer images; works fine if battery life isn't an issue.)
Some cameras have a small round USB data port in them, while others
have the USB Mini small port which takes a semi-rectangular shape plug.
Both my Panasonic & Nikon D70 use *Mini 5-pin* kind of USB w/ small end.
Your camera may require a different end cable; but probably not uncommon.
The big end is a standard A end USB cable, to go into the computer.
Of the Card Readers I found in a simple online search, some of them offer
support for three kinds of similar cards: USB2.0 SD/SDHC/MMC. The basic
ones do not have slots for every card made; they are SD specific. While I
also have a card reader that can accept 11 different cards, it doesn't always
see the camera's cards correctly. I prefer to use a USB cable to the camera.
Between USB camera cords (with images) and USB card readers, these
should be an easy find online via search; you could match the kind of
shape the ports require for cable ends to match, & also get a card reader.
Good luck in this matter!
