Camera attachment says No photos to import

I bought one of those camera attachment devices for my ipad 3, but all 7 SD cards I have from 3 different cameras can't be read - it just says No photos to download. I've pushed the slider back and forth to no effect,, I even reformatted one SD card and took some fresh photos at different resolutions - no deal!
I get no better response using the USB connection direct to the camera either. The 2 compact cameras connect and the 'Photos' folder opens, but again, No photos to download. If I try connecting my Canon EOS 5D it isn't recognised at all - nothing opens at all.
Is this an iPad thing or the camera attachment that is at fault?

When you plug your SD cards into your comptuer what do you see? the CCK only sees photos and videos are are located in a folder named DCIM, and then only if they have names that are exactly 8 characters, IMG_2345 etc. If your camera doesn't follow this strict naming convention then the CCK won't see it.
One way to eliminate that as an issue is to look on your computer and see how the files are named. I've honestly never tried plugging my camera in, I always use the card or I've also gotten a card reader and 32 gig CF card to work.
If your names are right, then another option is that your CCK is bad - which has been known to happen. If you know someone else with an iPad you can try it on theirs and see if you get the same result.

  • When i use the photo transfer kit with the sd to upload photos i used to have on my phone the ipad say 'no photos to import' but i know there are 300 pictures on the sd card why is it not recognizing the photos?

    i want to upload through the photo transfer kit not through itunes and the computer. Thanks

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Why is photo booth giving a message saying no camera attached when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?

    Why is "photo booth" giving a message saying "no camera attached" when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?  

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work.  Can you help?

    I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  Can someone help?  I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

    What version of iPhoto. iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.8.3
    Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are downloaded. But they are not. They can't be.
    I fixed the problem somewhat myself by removing the miniSD and manually inserting it. It did not populate automatically. I had to open iPhoto and then it populated only the most recent photos I had taken which fortunately were the only ones I need. No error messages this seems to be a new occurrence.
    Is there a way to just turn iPhoto off and download my photos to the folder of my own choosing?

    Sure - in the iPhoto prefercences set action when a camera is ocnnected to Image Capture

  • IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg).  It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

    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?

  • How to disable the message that pops up every time i connect my iphone "photos in the camera roll of iphone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode"?

    Wrongly posted in iPhoto forum, should probably be posted here instead.
    I want to remove the message that pops up every time i connect my IPhone that says: "Photos in the Camera Roll of "Name" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode.".
    This computer is not one that I want to import photos to (or sync with the iPhone), so this message is just very annoying, and it pops up all the time. I cannot find a way to disable this message. It is constantly appearing. No application is launching, I have turned off the iPhoto launch in the Image Capture app as well as in iPhoto. Thanks in advance if anyone has any information about this.

    Because your computer sees your phone, as it would see any digital camera, as long as you have photos in your camera role. Since you state you don't sync with this computer & have a passcode on your phone, that's why you get that message. The only way to prevent that message is either start syncing with this computer; remove the photos from your camera roll prior to connecting; or first turn off your passcode before you connect. Either that, or you live with it.
    You shouldn't be storing photos in your camera roll anyway. iPhone camera roll is not designed for photo storage. You should be regularly importing them.

  • IPhoto says iPhone Camera Roll files can't be imported.

    iPhoto says iPhone Camera Roll files can't be imported as they are 'unrecognised format' although are jpg. 
    Aperture and Bridge can't import them either so deduce problem is with iPhone Camera or Camera Roll. 
    Can import files to my MacPro from my DSLR and compact cameras - to iPhoto, Aperture and Bridge whether Raw or JPG.
    iPhoto shows 221 imported photos and 357 un-imported photos as grey boxes.
    iPhone software current version.  Have tried restarting.
    Mac Pro using 10.6.8, 8GB Ram and masses of HD space - running very well.  Application software fully up-to-date.
    Ideas?
    Many thanks.

    I saw a process that seemed to work,  in Iphoto , uncheck the " hide photos already imported box" which revealed the unimported photos in the camera roll, then simply select them and import them.

    Hi,
    Does Photo Booth and iMovie say you have no camera connected ?
    Does the System Profiler say you have a camera ?
    (it will be in the Hardware > USB section if it is an internal one)
    There are the first two steps in the link AnaMusic posted.
    The next is to try a different Mac User Login (Create an Account in System Preferences > Accounts if you don't have one)
    If it does not appear in the System Profiler or any App then Reset the SMC/PMU  (link in the Trouble Shooting iSight doc)

  • When I save an image on my ipod touch 3rd gen then go to the photos, the library updates/rebuilds, then I cannot view the picture as it just comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG.  It never used to do this, how do I fix it?

    I go to save a picture (bu holding my finger down on the image, then pressing save image, when the option comes up), and then go to the photos to view the picture, its says updating library and takes about a minute to finish loading and rebuilding/updating the library.  After it has finished updating the library I cannot view the picture I saved because it comes up as a picture of a grey camera that says JPG (I assume this is some sort of file, because if i save multiple pictures only one JPG, gery camera image shows up.) My ipod never used to do this.  Any idea on how to fix it?

  • Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?

    Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?

    If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the used space is still so high.

  • I'm trying to import some Hi8 into FCPX via a Canon GL2.  Although the footage shows up in the import window, it says "Camera not controllable".  The manual import button does activate, but footage is not actually being imported.  Any ideas?  Thanks

    What Tom said.
    Or you may be able to import using a different program - try with Quicktime Player, "New Movie Recording". If the camera appears as an option, it should work.
