Can't download photos from canon camera

Since I downloaded Yosemite, I can't get my Mac desktop to recognize my Canon PowerShot SD1100IS Digital ELPH camera. I've gone into Preview, Finder and Image Capture and it's not there. How do I get my photos onto my computer from the camera?

Same here... I have a Powershot Elph340HS and a SD960IS, I've updated Canon ImageBrowser and CamaraWindow and it just says "no camera detected"... so I used a different usb to make sure it wasn't that, I've tried everything, Preview, iPhoto, even iMovie... all of which worked before for importing from my cameras...
OS X Yosemite (10.10) I'm on a Macbook Pro
please fix this Apple!!!!

I can't download photos from my camera. instead of a camera listed under devices I have a new icon named wizard. help?

I can't download photos from my camera. My camera used to show up under 'devices' when I connected to my Mac. Today it shows an icon called wizard instead. When I turn on the camera to start the download, empty picture frames appear, but no photos to import. Can anyone advise? Thank you!

Try to import from your camera with Image Capture instead of iPhoto. Does that work?
Do you see your camera as a disk on the Desktop?
Can you open the image files from te Finder?
That wizzard-icon is puzzling. Have you used your camera with a PC and perhaps reformatted the SD Card from a different operating system? Then I'd try to import a different SD Card, that has been reformatted in the camera.

Can't download photos from my camera into Elements 9.0

Have Elements 9.0 which I just installed in October. I cannot download photos from my camera . On the ORGANIZE workspace I see no FILE, Get Photos, Help, Edit or even how to download the patches to make it current 9.0. I seem to be missing some critical menu's. I used Elements 4.0 for a number of years and it worked just fine. I've wasted a lot of time and it is not clear to me that the situation I have has ever been encountered by anyone else. Any help would be appreciated.

Good questions and thanks for trying to help me out. I’ve evolved through part of my problem but I know more than I understand. Here is what I’ve done and what I’ve observed:
1. The menus in the top row left side are missing. That is FILE, EDIT, FIND, VIEW, WINDOW and HELP are nowhere to be found. The right side of the top row is OK (Sign In, Create New Adobe ID), Undo, Redo, Display, Home and –?X)
2. I then installed Elements 9.0 on my wife’s new Window 7 computer. It looks just fine. Everything is as it should be.
3. I had an idea a shifted the my computer from medium (125%) fonts to small (100%) fonts. Everything looks fine. I went and rechecked my wife’s notebook and it has medium (125%) fonts. So my Windows computer with 18” monitor will not display PSE correctly at 125% but my wife’s notebook will! It is hard to read, I’m 75, but it works.
4. I have no idea what causes the problem but I can use PSE just fine if I don’t mind straining to read. So it looks like I have a solution to my original problem.
5. I tried to email a photo from each computer and that doesn’t work. Separate problem and I find that others have had the identical problem. At least I can describe the problem well enough to find all sorts of responses on the Internet.
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Can't download photos from digital camera after latest software update

Hi,
since the latest update on the 28.9.08 I have trouble downloading photos from my Canon Eos 400D. I can't use "Digitale Bilder" anymore, nor Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader or iPhoto. I have to use my partners MacBook that doesn't have the update yet. Could it have something to do with the RAW-Compatibility-Update? And does Apple know and do something about it?
Or can I fix this myself?
I'd appreciate help.

Downloading photos from Canon camera to computer

I'll try to be brief. I was using iPhoto 1 or 2 and downloading photos without problems from an older Canon SD 400. Unfortunately I can't remember doing anything special but one day, the computer, or rather, iPhoto, did not see the camera. I could see the camera in the System Profiler. OK, so I wanted a new camera. I bought a new Canon SD1100 IS. It would not transfer photos. BTW, I was able to transfer photos from everyone else's non-Canon cameras. OK, I decided to bite the bullet and bought and installed iLife '08. Besides, I needed a newer version of iPhoto to transfer photos to my iTouch. Still no go. After much ado, I even got a new camera from Canon. Now I had also installed at some point, software for my HP camera (don't get one)but before trying the new camera, I uninstalled that software. Several restarts later and I finally had to get a little multi-card reader which shows up in iPhoto as MY CANON CAMERA! Any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure that the camera is set to the correct USB protocol. There are two: Mass Storage and PTP. I’m not sure which is the correct one, but whatever yours is set to, try the other one Consult the manual on your camera for details.
But you are better using your Card Reader for importing. There is no risk of an incomplete import(due to the camera shutting down, for example) and it also saves wear and tear on the Camera ports.

Can't download video from Canon camera

I have a video in my Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH camera that does not download into iPhoto. I can watch the video (292mb) in my camera, and iPhoto recognizes that it is there, but does not download it. When I click to download the video, the computer behaves as if it is downloading, but the video does not appear in the library when it is done. I've tried looking for it elsewhere on my computer, but can't find it. I've thought about trying to pull it directly off the camera using the desktop, but the camera doesn't show up in the finder, only within iPhoto. How can I get this video!?

I have seen this exact behavior with large video files. You have 2 basic choices:
1) Use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to download the video. In IC you can select "Download Some", see the files on the camera, and select just the ones you want to download. With a file this big I recommend doing one at a time. Set it to Download to your Desktop, and be patient. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to go from 0 to 100 very quickly, when in fact the process has just begun. It may seem like nothing is happening, but wait long enough and it should complete.
2) Canons do not appear in the Finder, as you have observed. Instead of uploading via the camera, use a USB card reader to mount the card. Then you can simply drag the video files to your Desktop. The Finder seems to copy much more quickly than Image Capture, and its blue Progress bar is much more accurate. Another advantage is that you don't have to worry about the camera's batteries dying during the download.
Either way, once the videos are on your desktop you can import them into iPhoto, then trash the desktop copy.
Regards.

Can't Download Photos from my Camera into iPhoto

Hi, I've been trying to download my photos from my Casio Exilim camera into iPhoto. Whenever I do, iPhoto shows me that the photos are downloading, but at the end it shows me an error message saying, "Error Downloading Image: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading the image". I've also tried to access my camera from the desktop, and copy it to another folder, but I had no success with that either.
Thanks.

Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder)? Have you tried a USB card reader?
It sounds like your card format probably is bad - how long has it been since you formatted it?
Once you get your photos off you should use your camera and format it - and in the future do not have iPhoto erase your photos but use your camera to format the card

Can't download photos from Nikon camera

I just bought a Nikon Coolpix L100 and have taken some pictures. Okay, here is the problem: I can't download them. It says that it is compatible to Mac and I have followed all of the directions. I am thinking that the answer is pretty easy, but I haven't found it yet. I am not the most "tekkie person" but do okay. Does anyone know what I am "missing?" Thanks for any help out there. Puzzled.

You must have iPhoto '08 or '09 for RAW support for the Nikon D5000 - you posted in the iPhoto 4 forum
Have you applied RAW update 2.6 - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate26.html ? It is required to support the Nikon D5000 -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475

Can I download photos from my camera directly into PSE Editor?

I am using Mac OSX Lion v 10-7. If I install the PSE Editor from the Apple App store, will I be able to download my photos directly from camera into PSE Editor? I would like to process my photos with PSE as
I have done for many years with Windows, then, after fine-tuning them, place them in a location of my choice. I guess what I need to know is: Is the PSE Editor sold by Apple App Store a stand-alone app, or
is it tied-in some way with iPhoto wherein the user must go thru iPhoto to PSE, then back to iPhoto for display in an album. A last question: does anbody know for sure that Adobe has worked out all the "kinks"
of PSE 10 in re to OS X Lion. Thanks all, from a beginning iMac user.

You don’t get the Organizer with the app store version; so you would be best to buy the boxed product or download the 30 day free trial from Adobe which is the full product.
Otherwise if you are prepared to operate differently to how you did in Windows, you can use the iPhoto Library with the Elements Editor set up as your external editor or simply use the app on a stand alone basis, opening images in the editor directly from folders.

Have you tried restoring your iPad to factory settings to remove iCloud in order to get it back to the before iCloud setup?
I can no longer add photos to my library on any of my devices
What devices would those be and how many libraries do you have?

Can not import photos from Canon camera to iphoto '11

When connecting my Canon to iphoto '11 I click on the "Import photos" button and get the following message:
Unreadable files: 113
The following files could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I've done nothing different that I'm aware of. They are all jpegs.
Any ideas?

I just had the same issue with an S-90 (I also have never had this problem before.) and had to use a card reader (my iMac has one built in) instead of importing through the camera. The built-in card reader worked with no problem.

I can't download pictures from my camera ( Canon EOS 1100D).

Hi
I can't download pictures from my camera ( CANON EOS 1100D) on my Macbook Pro.
I can download pictures on other computers so it's not a cable problem. I can connect memory sticks to the Mac, so it is not a USB port problem.
I did install the software provided by Canon (after I tried to download pictures and noticed it does not work). Why doesn't my macbook pro recognise my camera ? Thanks. Leacoulet

The prompt won't appear if the photos were originally synced from a computer, if they were taken with the iPhone then there are instructions on this page for how to disable/enable the prompt (the page is specifally about disabling the prompt, but it's the same process to enable it).

Can I download photos from my macbook to a Canon Selphy CP760 printer

I have a Canon Selphy CP760 - a nice compact printer. All of my photos are on my MacBook - none on a card from a camera. Can I download photos from my Mac to the little printer? I have tried using a thumb drive/flash drive, but the printer says it is an unsupported USB devise. P.S. I am technically challenged!

That makes more sense...
You can print photos directly from iPhoto to your computer.

When downloading photos from my camera, iphoto will unexpectedly quit. One help suggestion said to try deleting iphoto preferences, but I can't find them.

Iphoto unexpectedly quits while I am downloading photos from my camera. I logged in under a different name and it worked fine, whcih was one suggestion in my handbook. If that worked, which it did, the book suggests deleting iphoto prefences. But where are Iphoto preferences? I have looked high and low and cannot find them. Any other ideas? I have a boat load of photos in this primary user log in, so...maybe I need to increase iphoto's RAM, but how do I do that?

Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto?
How many is a "boatload"? There's no way to "increase iPhoto's RAM"

Problems downloading photos from the camera to iPod

Last week I tried to download photos from the camera to my 60 GB iPod.
I had almost near 150 pictures (jpg) but something happened. The iPod (or the iPod Camera Connector) isn't able to transfer more than 60 photos (aprox.).
For bigger amounts, the tranfer speeds up and after finishing, I can't find the photos and I can't transfer photos anymore or listen to music o play videos.
Is there any restriction concerning photo transfer? What could be the problem?
Thanks.

As a matter of fact. After giving my camera a complete charge, I have had
no more problems
That is why a card reader is so useful. You do not have to wait for the camera to charge and avoid the kind of errors above.
