Cannot import from Canon Powershot pro1

I've always imported my photos with iPhoto simply connecting my Canon Powershot Pro1 to the Mac with a USB cable.
About an year ago I started to have problems: I had to shut down the Mac, connect the camera and then start the Mac again. Connecting the camera to a "turned on" Mac didn't work: I could only see the thumbnails but after clicking "Import all" I got an error message.
Now, switching from iPhoto to Photos, this trick doesn't work anymore and there's no way to import the photos. When the camera is connected, the thumbnails appear successfully in Photo, but I'm unable to complete the import as the following error always occurs:
Unreadable files: 3
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)

IMG_9496.JPG | The operation couldn't be completed (c...
IMG_9497.JPG | The operation couldn't be completed (c...
Help please

PS cannot find anything like "PTP Communication" in my camera menus and I would like to avoid using an additional card reader

IPhoto 6.0.5 can't import from Canon PowerShot A540

iPhoto 6.0.5 has a problem importing photos from a Canon PowerShot A540. The Import display comes up, then disappears then reappears, etc.. This error message appears every time on the console:
PTPCamera(271,0xa000cfc0) malloc: * Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0xa1b1c1d3; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug
Anyone else see this?
20" iMac, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Here are some questions for you about your situation:
Do you get an icon on the desktop when you plug the camera in?
Do you have a USB card reader you could try in an attempt to isolate the camera as the cause of the problem?
Have you tried this on another computer?
Have you tried this on another user account on your computer?
What brand SD card do you have in the camera? (knock off brand memory can sometimes be problematic)

Cannot import from Canon Digital Camera

I've recently bought a Canon SX20IS and it has HD video recording capability.
I've recorded several videos and I cannot import the videos. I've tried importing it manually (from wherever I've saved it, be it: iPhoto, my documents, etc). The videos are saved as .mov files and can play easily in Quicktime. They also save into the iPhoto library easily enough.
iMovie begins to imports. Starting (everytime) importing fast, 3 minutes...2 minutes... then it slows down when it reaches the 1/4 done mark and starts going up (i.e.) 3 minutes... 4 minutes... 7 minutes...30 minutes... 47 minutes... about an hour... 2 hours... and I've left in on several occasions for more than an hour and yet it's still in the same place. When I force quit the application, there seems to be no "not responding" message correlating to iMovie. So I do not understand why it can't import it.
An example of what I've been trying to import is a 2minute 45 second long clip, 485.3MB
PLEASE help, it's driving me INSANE!

I was directly connecting the camera via cable. My work around was to download with Canon Utilities, then I imported the RAW files from the hard disk into AP. Temporary solution as best!
I don't believe this to be a "temporary solution" at all. I do this routinely, except that I use Bridge for doing the download/import. I then import the files to Aperture. The up side, in my mind, is that I now have 2 copies of each image, in two different places and I always know where the original is.
Come on APPLE!
I think there are lots of other issues Apple could improve. For instance, making it easy to re-save an image once edited in Photoshop back to Aperture.

Want to choose which photos to import from Canon Powershot

I used to be able to see all the photos on the camera and choose which ones to import. I had a hard drive failure and everything put back on but the iphoto 6 isn't showing me the photos its only letting me import all of them. Ho do I get it to do this again? the camera is canon powershot SD630.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
iPhoto 6 has never provided for selective downloading - iPhoto '08 and later do and image capture does - if your iPhoto library is working then you must have been using image capture - it is in your applications folder - you can launch it and see - and in its preferences you can set it to open when a camera is connected

Epson all in one printer - compatible with 10.9.5? Cannot import from scanner in Preview

Got a new Epson printer. Set up is fine; wirelessly connected. Downloaded and updated all drivers. Still cannot import from scanner into Preview. Anyone else? Seems like this was a problem in 2013 as far as I can see from other forum discussions. Any advice? Scanner works manually so it's the set up, compatibility or...?

What do you mean "import from scanner to Preview?"
Does the scanner actually scan, if so what file format (jpg, pdf, tiff, etc...) are you scanning in? Once you have successfully scanned simply open Preview and open the file. Another method is selecting the scanned file, right click and select Open With and select Preview.

Importing From Canon Vixia HF M30 to Final Cut Pro

Hey there, I have been trying to import to final cut with some success. Importing From Canon Vixia HF M30 from my sd card.
I used the easy setup.
FORMAT HD
USE HDV APPLE INTERMEDIATE CODEC 1080I60
I go to log and transfer select the clips I need and click add to que.
So perfect there are my clips in my bin, I bring them to my timeline and a green line appears above my video, uugggggh. I know this is a rendering issue but why.
Please help does anyone know why this is happening.
This is very frustrating, I have been trying to read the other discussions I didn't see anything on it let alone the info on the net, trying different things just not working for me.
Thanks Gang

Your camera records AVCHD. Convert to prores 422 or prores 422(LT) on log and transfer and make sure your sequence matchs your footage.

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4. Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

Running LR 5.6 on OSX 10.9.4. Can't import from Canon 7D. Any ideas?

For future reference, if there is an error message, you should probably quote it in your original message on the subject.
"Could not be read" indicates that you do not have WRITE permission to the destination directory when you try to import, so change your permissions.
"not recognized" might indicate the camera card itself is corrupted or the card reader is failing ... or the problem might go away if you change your permissions.

IPod Video and camera connector with Canon PowerShot Pro1

Does anybody have a new iPod video with a camera connector and a Canon PowerShot Pro1? I'm having trouble downloading images to my iPod?
Every time I connect the camera to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod screen that says "no card inserted".
I've tried 3 different memory cards in my camera with the same results.
HELP?
Jason

Don't know about the Pro 1. My Canon XT works fine. In the menu for the XT, I have COMMUNICATION: My choices are A)Print/PCP and 2)PC Connection. Print/PCP must be selected for it to work on mine. Check the menu of your Pro 1.

When importing from Canon XL2, audio is delayed by 5 seconds

When I import from Canon XL2, the audio track is there, but it is off by a few seconds. At first it was only about 1 or 2 seconds, but when I re-imported it got worse. It's fine when I import through iMovie, but I lose my multiple audio tracks.
I know I can re align on the timeline, but that's not the point!
Thanks for help

You may have nearly filled up your hard disc.
1 hour of DV is about 13GB. Trying to capture a 2nd hour would take you up to about 26GB of space used up on your hard disc.
It's better to capture to an internal disc, or to a FireWire-connected external disc, as USB - even USB 2.0 - can't necessarily keep up with the constantly sustained data throughput speeds which DV needs.
A Mac needs about 10% of your total hard disc space to be empty, to allow for its internal 'housekeeping', log files, virtual memory files, etc. So if you have an 80GB internal disc, with, say, 13GB of operating system & programs, plus, say, 20GB of pictures, plus, say, 13GB of documents, and you add 13GB (1 hour's worth) of video, that's 59GB, and you'll need about 8GB of free space, that's 67GB accounted for, leaving about 13GB empty for your 2nd hour.
But that spare 13GB of spare space may be scattered around the disc, and not all in one sequential region, which may be why you're getting stuttering.
Not only that, but there may be 'dropouts' on the tape (brief signal disappearance) which may not show on the camcorder (..because many camcorders substitute a previous frame of video for any damaged frame..) but may only show up when you try importing. This may happen if, for instance, you recorded at a slower than normal speed, e.g; LP speed instead of Standard Play speed.
So check, first, how much empty space you have on your internal disc, and see if your external disc can be attached by FireWire, instead of the - what's becoming almost ubiquitous - USB connection.

No import from canon XF100 anymore?

Have you tried to import .mts files? For me they just show up in the import window like any other file. It may depend on the specific of the file. .mts doesn't tell you much.

Cannot import video from Canon Powershot G9

We just bought a Canon Powershot G9 and have had no trouble importing photos taken on it into our iPhoto (7.1.3). But we cannot import the video taken on the camera at all: every time we try iPhoto crashes and shuts as it starts the import process. We've saved the .avi files to a folder but even when playing them in VLC we get sound but no video. We're using iMac with OS 10.4.11.
Can anyone help in how to get the video from the G9 into iPhoto? We've also tried the Canon software and iMovie but neither worked.

Hi Terence,
Thanks for your promt response
I didn't move the file to the desktop because mp4s from my camera are imported by default to iphoto. Recently though, they have been corrupted or just not appearing at all in iphoto or anywhere else.
But I thought about it for a while and wondered if I could import them to (yes, you've guessed it) imovie HD!
I've gone for months looking everywhere for a solution to my problem, but not only was there no help in my mac, neither was the web any use. Consequently, I lost loads of precious little movies, (grandchildren, etc.) thinking the files were corrupt and not worth keeping.
You've obviously realised that I am not a computer geek, but thanks to 'lack of simple knowledge' being available on the net; thanks to you (indirectly) I managed to solve my problem.
I can't help wondering why on earth Apple doesn't admit that iphoto will 'baulk at importing anything that's too big', and simply suggest that newbies to Macs should import movies to imovie.
Thanks again for your clue to sorting out my problem.....now solved.

Is there a way to import photos from Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

Is there a way to import photos from a Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

I was reading another post yesterday about a Canon PowerShot S40 owner who previously used Image Capture to bring the images into the computer. They reached out to Canon and were returned a response stating that the drivers weren't compatible for OS X Yosemite. The best bet would be a card reader. The JPEG files are still going to be the same, but connecting with a USB cable directly to the camera isn't feasible any more. Head to the nearest Best Buy and pick up a USB card reader and you'll be able to see your pictures in Finder and can then import them to iPhoto or wherever you keep your pictures.
