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 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.

  • I can not download photos from my camera on iPhoto '09 after downloading iCloud on my iPad

    I have iPhoto '09 on my G5
    There are no updates for iPhoto that I can use because my G5 cannot upgrade to lion
    Since I downloaded I cloud on my iPad I can no longer add photos to my library on any of my devices
    Help!

    Have you tried restoring your iPad to factory settings to remove iCloud in order to get it back to the before iCloud setup?

    What devices would those be and how many libraries do you have?

  • Can't download photos from my iPhone4 into computer

    I don't know what is the problem? I can't download photos from my iPhone4 into computer. Because last week I could download it. Today I've got the error message "Microsoft Office Document Scanning does not support this type of device". How can I solve this problem and this problem is related to my iPhone or my computer?
    Thank you.

    Photos should be downloaded using the scanner and camera wizard and not Office. That will copy pictures into your pictures folder in the My documents folder. This is one of the options that should pop up when you connect the USB cable to your Iphone.

  • How do I go about downloading photos from my camera into photoshop 7

    How do I go about downloading photos from my camera into photoshop 7

    Perhaps it because you said photoshop 7.
    Are you using photoshop elements 7?
    And are you talking about downloading your camera files using the photoshop elements 7 organizer?

  • 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.

  • I am trying to download photos from my camera to iphoto on my mac book (which I have done many times before).  This time I am getting an alert that saysThe photo "IMG_5965.JPG" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.  Help?

    There is a fair likelihood of an explanation of this symptom
    in another ASC discussion thread; see the reply by léonie:

    You may have to research any newer possibilities in trouble-
    shooting or resolving issues by use of iPhoto Support page.
    Since I don't use iPhoto as a primary editor or storage, the
    details on the topic aren't so good. I prefer ToyViewer editor.

    Hopefully the error is easily corrected.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 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.

    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...

  • I am having problems downloading photos from my camera to iphoto 11

    I am unable to download photos from my sony cybershot DSC-W170 and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 to iphoto11. The problem started when the colour wheel started spinning when iphoto opened after I switched on either camera and the programme became unresponsive. Subsequently when ever I then tried to open iphoto the colour wheel span and iphoto didn't respond, force quit the only way out.
    After this happened the first time I rebuilt my library from timemachine (not the quickest process with around 9000 images), iphoto then opened okay and I could view libraries again.
    I then downloaded the images directly from the camera sd card to my desktop and tried to drag the images into iphoto one at a time this worked but as soon as i tried to import the whole roll, the colour wheel popped up and iphoto became unresponseive again but I could view my libraries at least.
    I then read about deleting the library cache which I did and restarted my mac (imac core duo 2ghz, running 10.6.8) I then tried to download from the sony cybershot again and I here am back at the start, with the colour wheel and iphoto not responding, I have just force quit and I can't open iphoto. Help!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • 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.

  • Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os  ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

    Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8.  Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340.  Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms.  Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8).  Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
    thanks.

    Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
    In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
    Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

  • 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

  • I can't import photos from my camera to iphoto

    When I try to import my photos from my nikkon digital camera memory card to iphoto it starts downloading but after about 100 pictures a message appears saying error downloading image - iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. I've tried to import a few at a time and it worked with some but with most the same message keeps appearing. What do you think could be the problem? How can I fix it?

    Make sure your HDD is not near full, my wife is queen of this. Take your un-frequency used photos and move them to an external HDD, you are probably getting too full on your internal.
    Drives are cheap, allows you to keep your priceless photos, avoiding a catastrophic loss. This will be an easy storage trasnfer, which will you free you up to use your internal drive.
    My wife has done this before and now she keeps her HDD clean, which allows her to use her MAC as a trasnfer-station.
    Try this and maybe it will help you out, but, do it soon, before your HDD crashes, and you loose all your stuff.
    Also, spend the smal amount of money to buy a back up drive for your photos/music.
    Also make sure you spend the small amount of money to buy a Timemachine backup drive.
    If you ave plenty of HDD space, make sure you have the latest RAW camera drivers installed, which can be downloaded from the Apple Support site.
    All the  Best

  • 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.
