After I installed Snow Leopard, the computer no longer recognizes my Olympus camera; I can't download my photos! Help!

My camera and Mac have always worked really well together, it was easy to download photos using both Photoshop and iPhoto. But I just upgraded to snow leopard and now the computer says it can't recognize the camera when I connect it to the computer to download photos. I updated the Olympus software, but it still isn't working. I take TONS of photos so this is a major problem. Woudl appreciate any help you can provide.

Does the camera mount on the desktop as a disc?
If so, double-click the icon and drag the pics to a folder on the Mac.
You should then be able to import them to iPhoto or whatever.
I don't have an Olympus, but all my Fuji and Pentax cameras have mounted perfectly well as a disc without using any software from either company.
Mind you, I don't use Image Capture, Photoshop or iPhoto to import anything directly; I want my pics in my filing system not someone else's idea of what it should be.

  • HELP!!!! Aperture 1 won't open after I installed Snow Leopard.

    Aperture 1.5 won't open after I installed snow leopard. Why is it not working?

    Because it's incompatible. You need to upgrade to version 2.1.4 or newer.

  • When i update my ipod the computer no longer recognizes it

    i have a 30 4 button click wheel and i have tried to update it and the computer no longer recognizes it. i then have to restore the ipod and software and everything works fine, but i would like to find the way to have it updated.

    i am trying to update the ipod software with the ipod updater, and to fix this i have to restore the ipod to the factory settings. There is not so much a problem running the older version, but i liked the updates on the ipod very much until i tried to plug it back into my computer.

  • After installing Snow Leopard the speech application keeps quitting

    Hi everyone, I have recently installed Snow Leopard on my 06 iMac, installed all the latest updates.
    I then found that when I try to set up voice activation application: system preference–speech.
    The application opens for a few seconds and then unexpectedly quit. As I'm studying I use Acrobat reader
    to read documents back to myself. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my machine being a 32-bit machine, and Snow Leopard
    is mainly a 64-bit operating system. But I also find that the Read aloud option in the Acrobat reader does not work
    and causes acrobats also unexpectedly quit.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
    Thank you

  • After clean install snow leopard, cant install bundled application(ilife)?

    Hi im new in the world of mac.
    This is the first time i reinstalled(clean install) my snow leopard on my MBP. All went fine but then i inserted the disc for bundled application (which contains the ilife apps) but it keeps failing.
    It says that "the installation failed. the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. contact the software manufacturer for assistance".
    I've also done my research on this matter. I've gone thru a few steps i tried as below without success:
    1)normal install - fail
    2)repair permission - fail
    3)install in safe mode - fail
    4) install using another admin acc - fail
    5) made an image out of the disc and install - fail
    6) used a similar disc(my dad's since we have identical version) - fai
    7)updated my system and install - fail
    8) reinstall the mac - fail
    i cant think of any other solution as im a bit noob when it comes to mac. is there any other things i could try before taking it Apple?

    same "installation failed" message
    i had to manually paste this address into safari search bar: "http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1512".  i found this link on MacRumors after a a search on google.  i could not find it on any search of apple site.  (searched for "AppleSoftwareInstallerUpdate.dmg" on apple site and could not find ANY results for it either)  i'm new at mac os, so the chaos of [apple support] vs [apple store] vs ["app store"] vs [itunes] download pathways all seem needlessly confusing.  using the link above - the download popped up, downloaded, had to restart my second hand 2010 mac mini that i was clean installing original discs - then i was finally able to install "applications install disc" (the 2nd original dvd that came with the mac maini).
    was also very confounded that NOWHERE could i actually confirm exactly what applications are on this 2nd disc until i successfully installed it - at least iphoto + imovie + garage band all showed up on the dock.  not sure if anything else new is on there - i wasnt watching closely enough.  i guess this is "iLife '??".  it sure isn't labelled as such ANYWHERE, not on disc, not in manual supplied, not explained anywhere on apple site that i could find.  but at least  i'm learning to navigate around MacOS a little bit better

  • Can I access my Mail emails after re-installing Snow Leopard?

    I need to reinstall S Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I have used TM to back up, and I want to know if, when I have re-installed S Leopard, I will be able to access all I my old emails in Mail. Currently I can do that just by having the Mail inbox window open when I Enter Time Machine. Also, what about iPhoto images, iTunes tracks?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply. Reinstalling because since installing SL I'm getting a lot of strange behaviour! Photoshop keeps crashing, also Mail, and Airport has become flakey too. Have installed an extra 2GB RAM to 4GB in case it was due to lack of memory, but no change ...
    Have run DiskWarrior too - no major errors showing up, so figured re-install is the next step.

  • Updated to ios6. Now when I try to download apps (ex. Craigslist and song pop) the free button is in light gray aka I can't download it. Help please.

    There are some apps that are in the darker shade of gray, where it says "free" or ".99" etc and I can download them. I purchased this iPad used, it works fine, and I do not recall having any issues with being able to access apps before I upgraded to the new ioS6, although I only used it for a day or so before updating the o.s. so perhaps I didn't have time to have noticed this problem with the old o.s.. In looking at other q/a's about this topic I noticed people saying to make sure there is not an app stuck downloading, I checked and that's not an issue, I also tried signing out of my account and turning the iPad off then back on....that did not solve my issue.

    You need to contact iTunes Customer Support.
    I had the exact same problem and they gave me a full refund so I could download the movies again.
    The cause is at Apple's end and you can't fix it from yours.

  • After installing Snow Leopard I can no longer "save photos on computer" after inserting a memory stick to an HP Photosmart C5180 All in 1                                                                                           Photosmart C5180 All in one

    Hello,
    When I insert a memory stick into my HP Photosmart C5180 All in one and I try to "save photos on computer" the printer reads: "You need to install device software". This all started happening after I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac 10.6.8. Can someone please advise on what I need to do?

    Typically it's a good idea to uninstall any devices attached to the Mac before doing an upgrade.  This prevents problems that can be caused by the upgrade.  Below are the instructions for uinstalling and reinstalling the printer.  I'm also going to include a link to the full feature software and drivers for the printer.  Let me know what happens.

  • After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

    After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
    Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

    Try the following:
    1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
    Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
    2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

  • Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

    My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

  • Suddenly can't import photos from SDHC card after installing Snow Leopard

    After we installed Snow Leopard, we suddenly can't import any photos from our camera when we use an SDHC memory card. Regular SD cards work fine and importing from our SDHC card onto our MacBookPro w/o SnowLeopard works just fine. Anyone have any solutions for this? Tried my card reader, too, and get same problem. Hook up camera/card reader, iPhoto takes a long time to recognize it, and then I get blank photos. I click import and then get an error message about unreadable files. Only happens when using the SDHC card. We're using iPhoto '08 on both Macs.

    I vaguely remember other posts regarding the SDHC card. Have you searched for "SDHC" in the forum to see what other users report and they found a solution?

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

    While done, shut it down. If it restarts again, just shut it down one more time. After this, it will stays quiet until you ask it to reopen.

  • MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

    If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
    The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
    Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

    I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
    Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
    Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
    My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
    My vote is that it's a bug.
