Canon 30D and iPhoto 6

I just switched to a Canon 30D from a Nikon D70S. When I plug the Canon in there is no recognition of it on my desktop screen. I can, however, import into iPhoto no problem but can't "safely" eject the camera. Do I just yank the USB wire when finished? With the Nikon there was a recognition on the desktop and I would be able to "eject" and then disconnect the camera. Thanks in advance for any answers! Cheers.

I am having the same problem with Iphoto not recognizing my camera, but I switched from Kodak to Nikon D70. I can import, but then just have to pull out USB cord. I get an error message that a device was improperly removed. Is there a way to get my D70 to be recognized.
Thanks in advance.

Canon 30d and iphoto 6...will not import RAW

I'm a bit confused with iphoto 6, I know it supports Raw and my 30d... but everytime I import(or rather attept to import) RAW format it gives me an error message?????
however jpg. are no problem....what am I doing wrong?
thanks

I have the same experience with Iphoto5, although Preview seems to be able to open the 39D .cr2 files. I don't think Adobe has released the patch for the Canon 30D which will allow it to handle Canon's version of Raw.

Canon Powershot S50 and iPhoto issues

After doing some major searching of the discussion pages I am posting in order to get some help with my Canon S50 and iPhoto 5.0.4 (263).
When importing into iPhoto or from Canon's image viewer or from the card reader built into my printer (HP photosmart 7760) I have problems.
When using iPhoto to import I get an error message telling me that iPhoto can't read the files because they are either corrupt or in a format it can't read
Using the card reader or image viewer, I can get the files onto the computer, and can view previews of the files, which look fine. However when I try to open them in preview or any other software the photos are distorted and color "bars" cover the photos.
I try importing the same files using a 12 powerbook and it worked fine.
Please help me!

submit feedback via iPhoto to Apple and request support script...Apple messed up.

IPhoto choking on canon 30D raw files

Tried to run a pro shoot through iPhoto but it appears to be choking on Canon 30D raw files (.cr2 extension). I'm getting an assortment of odd problems (missing or oddly rendered images, saves that never finish, sliders that take 30 seconds to move; times when moving the white balance slider has no visible impact on the photo) that basically have left me scratching my head about iPhoto (at least with Canon 30D raw). I was using features like Duplicate and saving edited raw files as TIFF but those are all documented features and so I would expect them to work properly.
Is anyone successfully using iPhoto with 30D raw files?
I have Aperture and it works great with the same set of raw files but iPhoto is so quick and easy (which saves time but also means that it's easier to get other team members involved in the workflow) that it's tempting to use it at least as the front-end for selects and preliminary development. Or maybe iPhoto is just for jpegs at the end of the day even though it does seem to have a fairly capable raw converter?

Tried to use with Lieca Raw also errors.

Is there a patch for Preview and iPhoto for the new Canon RAW format yet?

I recently purchased a Canon 6D, and I was surprised to find out that my Preview and iPhoto does not read the new Canon RAW codec. It's been out for almost 7 or 8 months. All my software is current. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro with iOS 10.7.5 The software that Canon supplied is terribly slow when it comes to importing the CR2 files and exporting them as jpegs. iPhoto can import my Canon 40D CR2 photos and spit out the jpeg proofs super quick. So, does anyone know of any software updates that I may have overlooked regarding iPhoto or Preview. I can't upgrade to Mavericks, as my computer will not support it. I have a feeling I may be SOL, but thanks for any help!

10.7.5 is not an iOS, it is a Mac OS X. And no, it is not current. 10.9.3 is current. As for your 6D, here's the RAW by operating system support:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats- your operating system
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.8
OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.9 support
Turns out the 6D is supported for 10.7. You need the RAW compatibility update 4.0.3:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.03
And the 40d is natively supported by 10.7.

Canon PowerShot A620 fully compatible with OS 10.4.6 and iPhoto 6?

I am about to buy my first digital camera... the Canon A620 looks like the one, but I'm a little confused about whether it's fully compatible with iPhoto 6. The Canon website says (implies, really) that it is, but I've seen some reviews by people who had different experiences. Does anybody in these discussions have this camera? Does it work ok with iPhoto 6?
Thanks. I don't want to make an expensive mistake.

I expect it works perfectly fine. I suggest you use the Canon software to download the pictures from the camera and them import them into iPhoto. You can get the software and the manual at www.powershot.com. The software at the Canon site may be newer than the CD that comes with the camera, too.
In my experience, iPhoto doesn't 'remember' which images you've already downloaded from a camera or a memory card reader. Each time is downloads all of them and then you can pick whether you want to "ignore duplicates". The Canon software shows you thumbnails of all the images and there is a mark on the images you've already downloaded -- you can select just a few images and it only grabs them (and tags that they were downloaded). On my USB 1.1 iMac the latter method is much faster.
Using the Canon software doesn't load the pix into iPhoto -- they're put into a folder and you import into iPhoto afterwards. You might choose to back all the images up to CD from the folders and just import the better photos into iPhoto at this point.
Another route is to use "Image Capture" on the Mac to download the photos. It puts them into a folder, like the Canon software, and it lets you choose just the images you want from an 'icon view'. Again though, it doesn't 'remember' which shots you've already downloaded; only the Canon software does.

Slight bands using Aperture and Canon 30D

Hi guys,
I have some problems using Aperture, developing/converting RAW files from my Canon 30D.
Unfortunatly I have bands in my pictures. Means that there are slight differences in the brightness of the files, which will give horizontal bands.
We already tested these files in other RAW converters like Capture One, RAW developer and Adobe RAW Converter.
Only the Adobe RAW Converter doen't show these bands in the RAW file, so we think that these are probably are errors coming from the camera chip, which Adobe already knows and fixed by their converter files.
I only see these bands on my concert pictures using ISO400 to 800. This will probably explain the errors coming from the chip.
So my question is, does anyone of you saw the same things in your pictures?
I have and developed image where you can see the problem. I also can send you the original RAW file to check for the problem.

Tiger and Canon 30D support

Hi,
I am wondering when the new Canon 30D (RAW) will be supportet within the new OS ?
We know that Apple do periodically updates and implement new cameras into the OS - but I need to know if there already plans or timeframes ?
Thanks and cheers

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I have the Canon Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D) which uses the .CR2 file format as well. Preview opens photos taken in .CR2 from the Rebel XT just fine. I know that the Canon EOS 30D uses .CR2 as well so I suppose it would just be a matter of Apple adding the EOS 30D profile. Maybe it can already open pictures taken by the EOS 30D... Keep in mind that this camera was announced just a month ago.
Hope this helps.

HT4757 Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1? Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1? Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

First Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

Check the settings on your camera to make sure you're not shooting Raw and Jpeg pairs or shooting bursts.

the screen shot does not display (a Forum bug ) and if it did it does not answer the questions
Seriously we can not see you and if you refuse to answer simple questions we can not help
Need information to help
what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8 as you state correct for the OS? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked? Will Image Capture ( in your applications folder) import the photos? How are you importing - USB to the camera? USB card reader? built in card reader?
Any other clues that would help a total stranger who can not see you or your computer assist you?

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

Canon Elura and Powershot no longer are recognized by 10.4.7

Looks like others are having this same problem, but there are no answers to the previous posts, so thought I'd add my problem to the queue. I'm pasting in the response I got from Canon when I emailed them. Apparently they recognize that the recent upgrade has created communication/recognition problems with Mac. Obviously their suggestion to use iPhoto to upload pics is not a solution. They state that they are working on it, and I wondered if Mac was working on the problem from their end. Thanks.
Dear Customer;
Thank you for your inquiry. We value you as a Canon customer and
appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Please note, with the update of OS 10.4.7, we are experiencing an issue
with USB communications. You may attempt to download using Apple's
software iPhoto.
Currently, our only suggestion is to revert back to Mac OS 10.4.6 if you
wish to keep USB communication. Our engineers have been notified and
are currently investigating the cause of this issue. You may also wish
to contact Apple for possible updates to resolve this issue.
Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your
PowerShot A60 and Elura 60.
Thank you for choosing Canon.
Sincerely,
Technical Support Representative G5 Desktop Mac OS X (10.4.7)

aspi5:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Which Powershot camera are you having problems with? Did you update to 10.4.7 via the Software Update preference pane? If you download and reinstall the 10.4.7 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
With the camera attached check System Profiler and see if it recognizes the camera. You can try using Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, to download from the camera to the desktop. If will often work.
Do you Twango?

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.
