Can I turn Camedia into iPhoto... or anything?

Back in ancient times (pre-2005) I received a Camedia Olympus digital camera as a gift. I was able to use its software in my Power Mac and had no problems importing the photos. When I bought my iMac I found to my dismay that I could not transfer the software; Camedia currently does not work with OS X.
I was able to transfer some of the photos, though, to the hard drive. Today I wanted to burn them to a disc for printing at the store. I can pull them up on my screen under OS 9. But if I drag them to a CD, they become HTML and are not viewable. I tried dragging them into iPhoto but it couldn't recognize them.
Anybody have any ideas about how to return these photos to the real world?

Import your Camedia photos into iPhoto you can build Albums and order printed books from Apple if you like or print them yourself. I had a Olympus Camedia camera I gave it to my daughter when I bought a new camera and I import photos into iPhoto and print them out for her. I make an album and print them on my Epson Photo printer. I never used the camera software because iPhoto worked so well with digital cameras, and it works as well with my new camera.
All my pictures are hi resolution JPEG photos. If they are JPEG they will import right into iPhoto Library by dragging them there you can drag a whole folder to the Library and have iPhoto sort in your choice by title, date etc. from the iPhoto > View > drop down menu.

    To resolve your difficulties you will need to go to the Language & Text preference pane.  Once there click on Edit List and remove all languages besides English.  You will then likely need to remove and reinstall the trial as the language setting I believe is set during the installation process.

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

  • Can't import photos into iPhoto

    I have a Sony DSC W5 digital camera. For five years I have been able to import photos from the Sony camera into iPhoto. In the last two days I can no longer import photos into iPhoto. I get an "unrecognizable file" prompt. I can drag the photo files onto the Finder and view them there. The photo on the Finder has a .jpg suffix just as all the other photos in iPhoto. Anybody got an idea on how to solve this problem? Thank you.

    get the photos off of the card and reformat the card using the camera format command
    Can you import the photos from disk once you have moved them from the camera to the disk? If not try opening one preview and saving as to create a new file and import that

  • Can't upload photos into iphoto from memory card

    Hi there
    I have been using iphoto for a while now and have never had any problems before. Today I have tried to upload some photos from my memory card (inserted directly into my macbook).
    Iphoto reads the card (all pics come up in iphoto) but the "import selected" and "import all" boxes are greyed out.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks....

    Open the memory card on the Desktkop and drag the folder containing the photos to the Desktop.  From there see if you can import them into iPhoto.

  • Can't load photos into iphoto 6

    Have many hundreds of small Sony Mavica cd-r discs that will not import into iphoto and cannot be read by Preview. Disc is read by external Qfire cdrw drive and files are displayed on desktop but each time I try to open a .jpg photo file it states:"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt of a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." These discs work fine in a Sony Vaio but get the same results in both my new Imac and and older G5 with internal DVD drive. This same G5 connected to the Qfire drive operating on OS9.4 worked fine until I updated it to OS X 10. Any ideas as to why the discs won't open on the new IMac w/ OS X 10.4.9?

    Massbody:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As I remember from posts a while ago those discs and formats are not compatible with the Mac. Do a search fror Sony Mavica here in the Mac forums and see what you find. I don't remember if any solution was found or discussed.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photos - can't transfer them into iphoto.

    I recently lost all the contents of OSX.
    I purchased iPod Photo Liberator to transfer my photos from my iPod photo and the photos are back on my HD - but I can transfer them into iphoto - it won't let me.
    Any ideas?

    Hello! You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto section . You say they are on the hd? Are they on your computer but not in iPhoto? Are you using the "import" command from the file menu in iPhoto? Tom

  • I have taken pictures of items that are linked to a database that I am building.  How can I bypass importing into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database?  thanx.

    I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website.  How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database?  thanx.

    If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
    Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop. 
    If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database.  Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.

  • Can't import photos into iPhoto-- it sees them but won't import

    I've been using iPhoto with my Mac Mini for almost a year now without a single issue (that's the main reason I bought a mac). I believe I have iPhoto 08 (I bought the computer 1 year ago). I have a newer Canon point-and-shoot that I've been using. About 1 month ago I did a software update to iPhoto, so it's pretty much up to date.
    Everything has been fine for almost a year, then all the sudden, iPhoto hangs when I try to import my latest batch of photos. It will pull them into the import preview window (I can see all of them), but when I try to "Import All" it just hangs. I have to turn off the camera just to get the program to unfreeze (after patiently waiting a few minutes). For some odd reason, just 1 of the 70 photos makes it in (there are a few videos, but they won't import either).
    Here's the error message:
    Unreadable Files: 69
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).

    Any ideas? I'm desperate because there's some wonderful picks of our kids on there that I don't want to lose.
    Thanks a bunch

    It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
    Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
    No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
    Why use a Card Reader?
    Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
    Because it saves the battery on your camera
    Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
    Because it’s almost always faster.

  • Can I reimport photos into iPhoto Library?

    Hi, I unticked the Copy photos into the iPhoto Library so the photos are residing in an external folder now. Can I change my mind and reimport them into the iPhoto library and will this affect the albums, photobooks, and slideshows I've already created? i.e. can I rebuild this library with photos inside the library?

    Can you hack an SQL database? If so, this user reckons he managed to do what you want:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3216539?tstart=30
    Alternatives:
    This should work: Set the app to Managed Mode and 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.  
    Failing that: Start over from scratch.
    Regards

  • Can't import photos into word or anything after update

    the iphoto library button is faded so can't select it. iphoto library copy is available but doesn't have the pics I want. Is there another path?

    Can't you just drag a photo from the thumbnail view in iPhoto into the open Word document window? That's how I do it. Then double click on the photo in Word and resize to what size you need.

  • I can't get iTunes into iPhoto Slideshow.

    Macbook Pro 13" OS Lion 10.7.3
    Iphoto 11 version 9.2.1
    Itunes 10 version 10.5.3
    When I go to make a slideshow in iphoto from an album and I try to change my music to my playlist it just tells me to open Itunes so it can populate the list.  I tunes is open!  It has worked before, but not now.  I have tried to do this in iMovie as well and it says the same thing.
    Any suggestions?

    This problem is typically from a defected or broken XML file in the Music library folder. In order to fix this, go to: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml
    Either delete this file (Move it the trash) or move it to the desktop. Either way, iTunes will have to recreate it. First, of course, QUIT iTUNES!
    If an error occurs (which is likely, because it is a broken file) and you cannot move or delete it, try deleting it with the Terminal.
    Be very careful not to delete the wrong file. The Terminal doesn't simply move the file to the trash, it DELETES IT. Here is what you need to do for this:
         Open up a new Shell and type: rm -rf
         Then, to eliminate confusion or accidents, just drag the file to the shell and the exact path will appear after it.
         Voila! It should be deleted.
    Then, go ahead and open up iTunes. Rename a song or something and the iTunes Library will recreate the iTunes Library.xml file.
    This works the same for just about any iLife application! If there is a problem accessing anything in the Media Browser, find the Library.xml file and delete it, then force the application to recreate a fresh, unbroken copy.
    Hope this helps!
