Cameras not importing using DAE

I'm exporting from 3ds Max 2015 as DAE and importing into PS CS6.
Camera's come in as locked folders and I am unable to select the view.
I found this information on the subject....
The cam_render shows up as a folder because the file contains this "instance_camera url="#"
So there is *no* camera to tie the instance to in the file and it comes in as a group. Nothing can be done in Photoshop as there is no camera.
Whatever exported the collada file needs to write a camera.
There are examples here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenC...
"instance_camera url="#mainCamera"
Does anyone now what this means and what I need to do to get it to fix the issue ?
Using Autodesk Collada, I see this in PS, camera is a folder but the 3d object imports correctly.
Using OPENCollada, I see this...camera IS selectable, but 3d object doesn't import.
I've also tried this using Max 2014 with the same result.
Does anyone know of a tried and tested workflow to successfully get and object with a camera into PS from Max ?
thanks in advance.

How can I see pictures not imported using iphoto within iphoto?

I just got a new iMac and am converting over from a Dell PC. I have thousands of pictures that I copied over. I then synced my ipad and all those pictures imported using iPhoto. I liked the ability to see Events and Faces and ws thinking I might like to bring in all of my older pictures. Is there a way to do that? Would I even want to? Would it recognize the folder structure I established for each event?

As Léonie pointed out each folder imported into iPhoto will result in an Event with the same name as the folder. In the photos mode with Event titles set to be displayed you'll get this:
Once inside iPhoto you can merge Events or drag photos from one event into another.
However if you want to create a hierarchical folder organization you'll need to do that in the left hand pane of iPhoto with folders and albums.
That is create a folder and drag events into it and you will have albums in the folder representing the events. These are only pointers to the original files and not duplicate files. Folders can hold folders, albums, books, slideshows but not individual photos. So you could create a hierarchy like this:

Can Lightroom 3 or 4 be updated still? I just purchased a Nikon d800 but the Raw files will not import using a MAC

As above shows, I might be in the wrong place to ask here? But can any one give me leads to this issue or can anyone share if they had the same issue.

1. You'll know because there's be a Camera Raw update in your Software Update.
2. iPhoto 11 is the current version. It will support it.
If iPhoto - or any app - isn't meeting you needs, of course get another application.

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?

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 using snowleapord 10.6.8. 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?

Camera will not import photos....It used to work immediately...now it just says it's importing but nothing happens....can anyone help

After hooking up cable and starting iphoto the pictures will not import....it says it's loading but nothing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions.
I've made sure my camera's battery was fully charged.

Try Image Capture (in your applicatiosn folder) or if the camera will mount to the desktop drag the photos off - or use a USB card reader (a best practice) - onc eyou get the photos off the card and safely on yor computer and backed up reformat the card using the camera's format command

Mini-DV footage does not import into IMOVIE/ Camera not recognized

Sony Mini DV tapes do not import footage using firewire. Camera is not recognized. I have done all the troubleshooting suggested. unplug, plug in, turn on, off, etc. I have bought new firewires and tried to import with many different mini-dv camcorders, sony, panasonic. It worked before, but not now.
I teach in a multiple mac computer lab and have 20 computers, non of them import, although they did earlier. Student-use film lab. HELP!

Hi Harm,
Yes, that's exactly what I do with my EX3 footage too - ignore the XML error messages. That's a bit buggy in it's own right, well, not buggy but it should really recognise the EX folder/file structure and ignore the XML files - maybe one for a feature request!
The 350 is a great camera - very much more sensitive and lower noise than the EX3.
I still like the EX3 though, as it's small and light (relatively!) - the 350 is very light though in comparisson to other shoulder mount cameras. Nice low power consumption too
Some things I miss from the EX3 - like the joystick menu button and the direct edit of parameters on the VF that the EX3 has. I also like the EX3 picure profile system over the 350 way of storing profiles (more similar to the 700 I believe).
Cheers,
Paul.

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

IPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

Hi There!
The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I don't have a USB card reader. I did try and different port although not a different cable.
I did remember one additional thing. I plugged my camera in at work to a PC. It was after that, when I came home, that the iPhoto wasn't working when I connected my camera to our iMac/iPhoto at home. I think this may have caused the problem.
Cheers!

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.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit. I just want to be able insert my SD card into the Pad and view my photos, not import them.Can this be done and how? Please advise. Thank you.

See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

Can not import photos from camera to iPhoto

When I connect my camera to import photos, I get a message with a red stop sign that has an exclamation mark in the center saying, "The disk inserted was not readable by this computer". It then asks if I want to initialize, ignore, or eject the disk.
I have a Panasonic DMC-FX33 Lumix camera and it worked fine until I updated my Intel Mac Pro to Snow Leopard and iPhoto 09. It still works fine on my Intel laptop that has OSX 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6 (6.0.6).
Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

That is a bit odd.
_Import all the picture off the camera using the other computer (you can transfer them to the other computer later).
_Using the camera, reformat the media card
_Take a snap shot and test with the new computer again
__If it works there was something off in the formatting of the media card

Lightroom 4 would not import images from my camera

I have been importing and editing photos from a Canon Powershot S3-IS and never had a problem until today. This is the first time I've tried it with the latest upgrade to lightroom.
I first tried importing from my camera memory card slot. Lightroom froze. Then I tried using my card reader and inserting that in the USB slot. Lightroom froze. I tried to connect the camera directly to the computer with the USB cord. Lightroom told me that it could not import the files.
I tried importing the images to my computer and then from my hard drive copying them into Lightroom. That worked.
Is the camera too old to use with the latest update from Lightroom. I would think a jpg. file would be pretty standard.
Any ideas on how to import to Lightroom without the extra step?

Perhaps there is a problem with the camera card. But I still believe there is a hardware problem somewhere.
I can think of hardware problems that can cause this to happen, but I cannot think of any software reasons why LR won't read a JPG, except when it is on a hardd isk.

IPhoto '09 not importing Camera Raw (.CR2) files

Recently purchased a new Mac Pro and tried to import my Camera Raw files from a supported camera. iPhoto refuses to import (unrecognized file format) files. Does anyone know the solution? I have over 1,700 camera raw (.CR2) files I need to import.

Larry,
Cameras were Canon 20D and 50D. Until yesterday both were using the sRAW color space - switched them to Adobe RAW today. Problem was the 1,700 pictures with sRAW colorspace taken over the past few years - no issue importing into Adobe Photoshop CS4 (not surprising at it uses its own libraries), problem was only with iPhoto. I had what iPhoto reported as the latest update to Camera Raw, however when I browsed the Apple support pages I found v3.0 which I installed. That fixed the problem as it now has sRAW support for Canon cameras.
Only issue that remains is importing of DNG formatted pictures. iPhoto will not import those, which is hard to understand as it is becoming the defacto cross platform format for RAW files.
I don't recall having this issue on my older MacBook using an older version of iPhoto and older libraries...
Anyway, good news is that v3.0 fixed the problem.
Thanks.
