Can't import photos from a particular camera after upgrades

Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 and iPhoto 9.6 (910.29), both current as of this writing.
I have a Canon EOS 10D (older DSLR). I find that when I connect the camera and start iPhoto, iPhoto shows that I have the camera connected, but I never see the photos. iPhoto hangs displaying "Loading". The same happens with Image Capture. And, oddly, nothing at all happens when I connect the card from the camera using an external card reader.
Your help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What can work is to try the card at a different machine, or even a Windows one. Sometimes that will allow you to get the photos off the card.
Riskieer: reformat the card and then try recover the shots with MediaRecover or Picture Rescue

  • I can't import photos from iphone4 to Aperture after Yosemite upgrade, aperture is up to date

    Aperture stopped recognizing my IPhone4 when I try to import photos.  This happened after I upgraded to Yosemite.  My phone does show up in ITunes, and I have tried unlocking phone and shutting it off/on.  My Aperture is up to date.

    I went to Yosemite help page, and found an answer to another problem I was having after OS X upgrade.  I was seeing duplicate iMacs under devices (I was checking to see if my phone showed up which it didn't).    The fix for that problem took care of the problem I was having with the iPhone import into Aperture.
    This leads me to believe the problem was due to the upgrade and some bugs that are still there.   Now it's working fine.
    Thank again for you help.

  • Can you import photos from time machine backup after clean install

    I had to do a clean install of Mt. Lion.  So now I have all my photos on the time machine backup.  Is there a way to get those photos in to my library?

    When I go back to the backup it does not let me go back to the previous backupprobably because the last backup was Lion and I am on Mt. Lion now.  don't what to do another backup if that is going to mess up the old one.  I can access it though by just going to it.  So i am putting that one on my desktop and I am going to rename it and see if I can open in Iphoto.

  • After downloading yosemite, can't import photos from camera to iPhoto

    After downloading Yosemite  10.10.1 to my Macbook Air, I can't import photos from camera to iPhoto. Had no problem before. It recognizes camera and says loading, but it never does load photos.

    That's the latest version.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

  • I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • How can I import photos from camera to computer?

    The "Get Photos" selection has disappeared from my Elements 9 screen. How can I import photos from my camera to my computer?

    Yes, the entire top bar disappeared. I no longer see the place to click to
    initiate the import, and I don't see the place to select the camera from
    which to import or the place where I used to select a file or create a new
    file in which to save the pictures when they are imported. I clicked
    Organize when I entered the program, but everything looks slightly
    different. What can I do. I certainly don't want to jeopardize over 3,000
    photos installed.
    Thanks.

  • How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

    I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

    Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
    If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
    Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
    you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
    "Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
    right size for a thumbnail.
    If you do a search for the image name, both the
    actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
    the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

  • HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

    how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Iphoto won't import photos from Kodak EasyShare Camera

    I have alsways been able to import photos from my canon camera directly into iphoto. I just purchased a Kodak Easyshare Camera. When I hook it up to my computer, it won't import the photos. The camera does come with it's own EasyShare Software - but I really don't want to import it into my computer. I want the photos to import directly into iphoto library. My Canon Camera still imports into the library. Help.

    sunnydays:
    Does System Profiler recognize the camera when it's connected? What version of iPhoto and Quicktime are you at. If not the latest then I suggest you update to 6.0.0 and 7.2 respectively. I'd also update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
    Do you have iPhoto erase the memory card after each upload? If so, I strongly recommend against it as I've seen too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete erasures. It's safer to have the camera reformat the card after the upload.
    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.

  • Since the new downlaod, I can't import photos from my Kodak C813. I get an "unreadable file" message. What to do?

    Since the new Photo download, I can't import photos from my Kodak C813. I get an "unreadable file" message. What to do?

    See if Image Capture will let you upload the photos from the camera to a folder on the Desktop.  If it will then check the photos by opening them up with Preview to make sure all of them are good.  Then import the folder into Photos.
    If that goes OK reformat the memory card in the camera, take some test shots and see if Photo will import.

  • Importing photos from Kodak EasyShare camera

    I am attempting to import photos from my Kodak EasyShare CX7300 camera into iPhoto. I have uploaded photos from this camera onto the computer before, but for some reason, I am no longer able to do so. I have checked the cord connections of both the USB port and the camera, and both are fine. When I plug the camera into the computer and turn the camera on, the green light on the camera flashes and iPhoto opens, but the import process does not begin. I have been unable to find a way through which I can manually import the photos into iPhoto. I cannot install the EasyShare software that came with the camera because of restrictions placed on the computer by my school. Any suggestions, other than a new camera or a better computer? :-D Like I said, I've imported photos from the same camera to the same computer... why isn't it working now?????

    Jamie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A workaround until the reason for the problem is found is to use Image Capture to manually upload from your camera. It came with the Mac and is located in your Applications folder.
    Have there been any software updates run just before this started occurring? What version of iPhoto are you running?
    As a first step run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.

  • I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says  iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • Can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 after upgrade to 10.5.1

    I can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 anymore after upgrade to 10.5.1.
    It used to work great...now this. Sad, sad, sad I am.
    I tried the "FIX" of refreshing phone and sync history, but it DID NOT WORK for me. HELP!
    Please help, somebody.
    Saint Podoreo

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.

  • Can i import photos from my PC to iPhone?

    Can i import photos from my PC to iPhone?

    You can send photos from a PC to an iPhone several ways. One is to use a USB cable and iTunes: Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    Another method is via 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com/
