Can't import photos from kodak camera, after4 years of successful? importing

I have been using a Kodak Z740 camera for last few years . I now find that while I can see the photos on the camera review, when I import them to iPhoto, I can only see blank thumbnails. Yet if I deep dive into Picture folders I can find them eventually.
I also use iPhone for photos and no issues there.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you read any of the other topics regarding the Kodak Easyshare?
iPhoto no longer recognizes photos from my Kodak EasyShare V803
Just do a search in the form for "Kodak Easyshare" and you'll get lots of posts.

  • Since installing snow leopard I cannot import photos from Kodak camera anymore..

    I recently upgraded from 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Previously I had no problems importing photos from my old Kodak Easyshare camera into i-photo, but I now get an "unreadable files" message when I try to import photos. Is there any way to solve this please?

    This could be your SD card in the camera.  Often, if the SD cards needs to be reformatted, this can occure. 
    You can try importing the images in Image Capture.  If this works, I would suggest reformatting the SD card, or replacing the SD card.
    Try opening the application "Image Capture"
    - you should see the camera in the left hand column - select it
    - the images should load on the screen
    - in the bottom middle menu / "import to" , change to "iPhoto", then click "import" or "import all" or "download some" or "download all"
    - iPhoto will bounce, and display what is being imported

  • Moved my iphoto library to an external drive and now I can't import photos from my camera or iPhone - will only import previously impoted photos - why?

    Anyone else had this problem?  Anyone know how to fix it?
    I haven't deleted my photos of my computer's hard drive yet so can go back to using that if it will fix my problem
    Thanks

    No that is not a problem and no one has reported it here
    to change the library depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the select library command - see if the behavior is the same on both frives
    How did you move the iPhoto library to the external drive?
    What format is the external drive?

  • Using the sd card slot to import photos from digital camera?

    Can't figure out how to use the sd port on my macbook to imports photos from my camera?

    Take the SD card from the camera and put it into the sd port.
    Open the software you use to manage photos and open the card....
    Or copy the photos from the card to the HD.

  • I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

    There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
    When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
    If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

  • 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.

  • HT2498 How do I import photos from my camera without being forced to use any silly mac software?

    I haev a PC as well as a new Mac Mini.
    It has always bugged me that Mac seems to force me to use a silly image managment software (like iphoto) to import photos from my camera when i plug it in.
    On my PC (windows 7) it simply recognizes it as a "removable storage device" and i can access the flash memory as if it was a hard drive and simply drag my photos to a folder on my computer. (this same technique works with my iphone photos)
    However on my Mac it seems there is no way to open up the flash memory and just drag photos off and manually import and manage my photos. I do not like all of the complicated software to complete a simple task like this.
    Am i missing something? if so please fill me in. thanks!

    It does not force you to do that.
    Open iPhoto, go to iPhoto / Preferences and change the setting so no application opens when the camera is connected.
    Whether you change the setting or not, the camera does indeed appear as a "removable storage device". At least mine does:
    And you can double click the camera icon and navigate the contents. The contents are shown exactly as they would be on any "storage device":
    Thus you have the option in iPhoto preferences to let it do it for you, or do it yourself if that is your choice.

  • Iphoto won't import photos from my camera

    My hard drive crashed about 2 months ago and I had a new one installed. It worked great for the first month but then began importing my photos very slowly and now has stopped. It will still import/snyc from my iphone but has since, stopped importing photos from my camera.
    It recognizes that my camera is plugged in and the window pops up that asks if I would like to import duplicates or not. I check the box and then it stalls. I've let it sit for hours and nothing.
    Now, with my old hard drive, I was current with the newest updates. I just realized whoever that with the new hard drive in that I'm back at 6.0.6.
    Would it help if I updated iphoto one by one until I get up to '11? or is there another fix for this version? I wouldn't mind keeping it if it WORKED for me... or is it my camera???
    I'm not computer savvy at all so please give specific instructions as if you are speaking to a child.

    How much free space do you have on your hard drive?

  • How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an album in ipad?

    How can I copy photos from the camera roll to an already existing album in ipad?

    If you are in thumbnail view in the Camera Roll, tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. Tap the photos that you want to add to the existing album. Tap - Add To - in the upper right corner and then tap - Existing Album.
    You can only add camera roll photos to albums that you have created on the iPad. You cannot add them to albums that you synced from iTunes.

  • I cant see how to import photos from my camera

    I watched a video on how to import photos from a camera using Adobe Photoshop, based on this video I have downloaded the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 but the Command G function to import photos from my camera doesnt appear to exist

    Hi Barbara
    I see that this problem with creating a sub folder names as the shooting date has been an issue since 2011 as I found out
    on the following forum
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4055234
    I am struggling to see why this is occurring with purchased software
    Regards
    Danny Dutton
    Hi Barbara,
    Your information has been very helpful and I do appreciate your kind assistance
    I have contacted iTunes and they are going to refund my money which is great.
    I went to store and purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premier (single package) Elements 10 s. I am using a new iMac with OS 10.7.4
    The Photoshop installed OK but she I chose to import photos from my camera and chose to create new folder named as the date shot a new folder is created but it totally shows the wrong date, I am sure we are not in 1970 or 1999 LOL. This happened with both a Canon Powershot and a Canon EOS camera. This problem does not occur with Picasa which works perfectly and does beg the question why I am persisting with Adobe products!
    The Premiere (on the same disk as Photoshop) will not install and I get the following error message
    Exit Code: 7

    i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

    Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
    Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
    Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
    Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
    If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
    Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
    Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
    Highlight your card.
    Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
    Then start the import.

  • Can't import photos from my camera since the update, says file is unrecognizeable

    Since the recent photos update, I can no longer import photos from my Kodak Easyshare camera. Previously all I had to do was plug it into the Mac, turn it on and it would import with no problems. Now it is telling me that the files are unreadable or something. I don't know how to find the camera as a device on the Mac when its plugged in, to go at the problem that way. Not sure what to do at this point. Getting frustrated.

    Then use either of my recommendations above. If you decide to get a card reader (I'd recommend this!) then simply insert the card into it, connect the reader to the Mac and use Photos import feature and import from the card. If you need additional help using Photos please use the Photos forum, you can get there by clicking Photos for Mac

  • 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.
