Canon 450D (Rebel XSi) with Tiger 10.4.11?

Hello,
my sister has an old *iBook 14" 512MB G4 (about 1,6 Ghz)* with Tiger (10.4.11). She now wants to buy a *Canon 450D (Rebel XSi)*. I only found on the Apple Support Sites, which Leopard-Version supports the Canon450D-RAW-Files, but not, which Tiger-Versions supports it. So I have some questions
1. Does Tiger support the Canon 450D-RAW-Format or does she needs Leopard?
2. If Leopard is needed, would you install Leopard on the iBook or better not?
3. Or does she needs more RAM? Do you have an idea, how many can be installed in the iBook 14"?
Thanks for helping!

Mr-Orange
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Does Tiger support the Canon 450D-RAW-Format or does she needs Leopard?
She needs Leopard and iPhoto 08
2. If Leopard is needed, would you install Leopard on the iBook or better not?
Does the iBook meet the requirements? http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
If you do install on the iBook, just remember that ot won't be anything very fast...
3. Or does she needs more RAM? Do you have an idea, how many can be installed in the iBook 14"?
It's impossible to know if she needs "more RAM" when we don't know how much she already has... For questions about the iBook, best to post on the iBook forum:

Photoshop Elements 6.0 locks up deleting pictures from my Canon Digital Rebel XSI

I'm a long time user of Photoshop Elements and have never had one issue with it. I just got a Canon Rebel XSi and when I connect it to my PC, PE offers to download the pictures. That works fine. The pictures come into PE. Then it offers to delete the pictures from the camera and this is where the trouble begins. I click "Okay" to begin deleting and then the little dialogue box never goes away and the program just stays hung up.
HELP! What is wrong? Why is this locking up?

It's really not a good idea to let elements delete the photos in any case. Your camera has its own directory structure that the computer doesn't fully understand. It's preferable to just reformat your card in the camera or delete the photos directly in the camera, rather than letting a computer do it for you.

Canon EOS Rebel XSi Software update won't install in Snow Leopard

I tried to install an update to Canon's EOS Rebel XSi camera software using downloaded images from the Canon website. Image loads, but when I start the installer I receive the error message "Don't have enough privileges to install. Log in as administrator and try again." I am logged in as the administrator and have no issues loading other programs or program updates. I tried installing the same software from DVD with the same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm new to the discussion thing and didn't update the entire profile from my last visit. I'm using a Mac Pro and am more concerned about not being able to install/update software because the program doesn't think I have admin privileges. I found the privilege thread in this section so that's where I posted the question.
I know the Canon software works in Snow Leopard because it's running on my laptop.
I'll try the Picasa software option you suggest.

Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

I have this camera model and it has been supported by Adobe products for many years, already, including LR 5.2.
If your XSi CR2 files won’t import into LR, then something may have corrupted the files, or the process you’re using isn’t quite right.
As others have said, please give more details of the process you’re using, any error messages you receive, and if necessary, you can supply a CR2 file for others to examine, by uploading to http://www.dropbox.com and posting a public download link to a reply, here.

I am getting error 99 on my camera - Canon EOS Rebel XSi

This camera is used for the past 4 years. Never faced any isses. Suddently started getting the error 99, "Shooting not possible. Turn the power switch to <OFF> and <ON> again or re-install the battery".
the following are tried:
Removed the battery, fully charged it again
Changed the SD Card
Changed the Lens
Removed the battery, lens and SD card and kept the camera idle for 20 minutes just clicked with out SD card.
No changes.
these I did not try
Change the battery pack to see if it helps, no back up battery with me
Did not update the firmware since I bought the camera in 2009. I do no know if it is available for my model.
Any help/suggestions are welcome!!

Anil Krishnan

I agree... the first thing you should try is a fresh battery. A four year old battery might be on it's last legs (probably depends upon how many times it's been recharged.... and how deeply it was discharged in between charges).
If possible, it would be good to also try a different charger. Sometimes they go bad.
Does your camera have a separate replaceable date/time battery? If so, it might be a good idea to replace that, too. Those types of batteries usually have roughly a five year lifespan.
Wouldn't hurt to update the firmware. If' it's never been done, very likely there is a newer version. Even if it's not an update, it might be a good idea to reinstall it.
HOWEVER, before you attempt to install a firmware update, you must have a reliable, fully charged battery. You don't want to have a camera shut down halfway through a firmware installation. That's almost guaranteed to "brick" the camera. So sort out the battery first, to be certain you don't have problems there.
The reason for replacing the firmware is it might have become corrupted. It's essentially an operating system for the camera, which is essentially a computer... and "stuff" happens, as we all know, to computer operating systems! Sometimes a reinstall or update will correct problems in the software.
Canon's and ebiggs instructions above about "rebooting" the camera are a good idea too. In fact that's the first thing I'd try, since you don't need anything to do it. The reason you "reboot" is to clear any lost data strings from the memory, that might be interfering with the camera's operation. Again, it's a lot like a computer.
A little more about rebooting the camera... If your camera has a date/time battery, in addition to the main, rechargeable... remove both of them. Rather than letting the camera sit, another method is to turn the camera on without any batteries, and press the shutter release button once. It won't fire, of course. But this should drain any remaining charge from the circuit immediately and is faster than waiting for the residual charge to drain off slowly.
Once you have done this (or let the camera sit for 20 minutes or several hours without the battery), go into the menu and see if the date/time needs to be reset. If so, you got a proper reboot.... If not, try again.
In addition to trying a different memory card, always formatted in the camera, also inspect the slot the card fits into carefully. Look at it with a flash light, to see if anything looks damaged, shorted out or if there is any obstruction. Probably not something you can fix yourself, if there is a problem.
I agree about cleaning the lens to camera contacts. I use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on a clean, lint free cloth. That's to remove any oils (finger oils, or lubricating oils from inside the lens or camera). Just keep off the mirror in the camera and the lens optics.
You also might use the same to clean the battery contacts both on the battery and on the charger (unplug it) and inside the camera. Wipe down the date/time battery, too.
None of the above is certain to fix the problem, but all are fairly easy and free or relatively inexpensive to try.
If none of the above works, then send the camera in to Canon and have it checked.

New Canon Rebel XSI, and Aperture won't read the .CS2 files properly??

Hello all,
I have read through the posts but didn't fine one that answered my question. I just bought a Canon XSI and tried to upload my RAW files to Aperture, and first it showed the "unsupported image format" red screen. After messing around I could get it to see the images, but they were the size of thumbnails. It will read the JPG files fine. The Aperture site says that the CR2 files should work. I also tried deleting the rawfile in the system folder and re-ran the installer for 2.1 update, didn't change a thing. My Aperture version is 2.1.1. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Lucked out and figured out the real problem thanks to Mark Olson's blog:
http://markolson.ca/2008/07/17/canon-eos-450d-rebel-xsi-cr2-raw-on-mac/
It turns out that the problem was related to RAW+JPG. Mac does not import the RAW files properly and I should have suspected this being the problem when I noticed the RAW file size was way too small (exact same size as the JPG file).
Luckily I had not deleted the files from my memory card so I was able to go back and import the RAW images again. Now at this point I'm going to ask Steve to cover his eyes because I had to use Vista to download the files!
All seems ok now.

How to open CR2 from XSi with CS2?

I want to know if I would be able to open up RAW files from my Canon Rebel XSi with CS2.
First couldnt even preview the raw images on my computer so I downloaded a codec from Canon and now it shows the preview icons as the pics itself. Then I search and realized I would need ACR in my photoshop. Which apparently I already had. I downloaded 3.7 which is the version for CS2 and replaced it in the file folder it specified. I tried the DNG converter 4.1 at first. Now, this one let me select a folder to convert files from(my sd card in my computer) and it showed all the available files in the folder but when I went to convert them it wouldnt convert any of the files. Then I searched around some more. Downloaded the latest version of DNG and installed it. I tried setting the compatibility for my version. When I select a folder in this version of DNG it shows no available files to convert in my folder.
I just shot my pictures in RAW + jpg(yes the file sizes are quite different, i read a thread talking about corrupt files, so idk) this morning. I dont usually deal in RAW but I had been wanting to try it out for a while now. What I am trying to do is take a picture of a painting I did in a quality(would need to color correct) good enough to print. I figured a RAW image would work best for this.
Is there any way I could get this whole RAW image thing to work in CS2? I use windows vista home edition 64 bit, if that matters at all, which I dont think it should.

It's important to note:
The Select Source Folder dialog is for selecting a FOLDER, so you should not expect to see any FILEs in it. Nobody does. The DNG Converter works on folders.
This is just the way the DNG Converter works. Once you've selected the folder, just press the [Convert] button and you'll find it does the job.

Actually, it isn't quite that simple. On a Windows computer, at least all of the ones I have worked on, the DNG converter will actually see and list the files within the folder.

EOS Rebel XSi goes dead

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XSi. Less than a year ago, I replaced the batteries with new ones (I keep 2 - one as a spare). I am experiencing problems where the camera goes dead after 8 or 10 photos, even though the battery shows a full charge. I swapped to my backup battery, and it took a minute or two to get the camera to turn back on, and when it did, I again only got about 8 or 10 photos and it went completely dead. Everything seems to work fine up until the point that it dies. FYI, the camera is about 4 1/2 years old and has taken probably 10,000 or more photos. Could this be a battery problem, or is it likely something more serious?

Hi captjim!
Thanks for posting!
If using alternate batteries still does not power the camera long enough for more than 8-10 photos, the camera will need to be repaired.
To start the repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.
Since the camera is more than a year old, you may participate in the Canon Loyalty Program instead. The Canon Loyalty Program option allows you to replace your current camera for a discounted fee, plus shipping. The original non-functioning camera would then be returned to Canon USA for recycling using a prepaid shipping label that would be provided.
If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department at (800) OK CANON (800-652-2666) seven days a week, 8am to Midnight. Let them know you have been working with online support and the Canon Loyalty Program was offered. Be sure to have your serial number for your camera at the time of your call.

Windows 7 64-bit driver for Canon Digital Rebel XT

How do I interface my Canon Digital Rebel XT with a computer running Windows 7 64-bit?

You are correct. Canon does not provide a driver for Windows 7 64-bit. You have to change the communication mode in your camera and then use Windows Photo Gallery or other software to transfer the photos. Here is the response that I received from Canon tech support (it works):
"To connect your camera to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, you'll need to change the communication mode.
To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on. Press the "Menu" button. Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab. Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set". This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT Instruction Manual.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on. Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery, or you may use a card reader to download images. If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com."

Canon Rebel xsi/450D: Intervalometer app for ios?

Hi,
Any good recommndation for intervalometer app on ios (preferably free) and what kind of cable do i need to connect with Rebel xsi/450D?
For the purpose of creating Timelapse.
Thanks

That camera is so new that you're just going to have to wait for RAW support. Your option, in the meantime, is to use the Camera Raw conversion.

CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi won't open in CS2

Ok, so I have a powerbook G4 with Tiger Mac OS X and CS2 student version. I am basically computer illiterate so feel free to state the obvious here.
I bought a new Canon Rebel XSi and have been shooting raw CR2 files. I have done this in the past with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and never had a problem... now the error window pops up saying my file is unrecognizable. I did the only things I know how to do which was to check for updates and verify permissions in disc utility - this did not help.
Still thinking it was my computer or the software I backed everything up and wiped the hard drive clean by erasing and reinstalling the original discs and then reloading CS2 and again doing all of the updates - this did not help.
I have spent 3 days reading in these forums and trying to clear caches and download DNG's (by the directions into the right library) and still it does not work. I even downloaded trial versions of CS3 and CS4.
Now I'm sure my computer is a downloaded mess and I still have no access to my raw files!
Please Please Please help me!

You're welcome, Nikki.
 
 >what do you do with the paper with a hard drive icon on it when you download something?
 
 I assume you mean the
disc image file with a ".dmg" extension.
 
 Personally I keep any such disc image file if its contents prove successful and discard it when a new version comes along that also proves to work OK. Otherwise, I delete them right away. It's your choice. I prefer to have the dmg file around in case I have to install its contents again for whatever reason without having to download it again.
 
 That being said, I don't keep anything on my desktop,
ever. I download everything to a "Downloads" folder inside my Documents folder.
 
 Here's what my desktop looks like all the time:

Corrupted Raw Files with Canon 450D

I connect Canon Rebel XSi (450D) DSLR to Mac via USB. Adobe Bridge Launches(updated to Camera Raw 4.5 => ~\Library\Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats). I choose to download all pictures (jpeg & CR2). The download takes place.
Thumbnails appear for both jpgs & cr2s in Adobe Bridge. When any cr2 is clicked on to open, Photoshop Elements 6.0 opens but will not open the raw file -it indicates that file type is unknown.
The CR2 files downloaded from Adobe Bridge are only 2-3 MB, but the originals on the SD RAM card are well over 10 MB. So something is happening to the files during the download.
If the SD card is inserted in a USB adapter and connected to PC, the download works fine and files retain their original size. This problem
only occurs with direct Camera to PC USB connection.
Does anyone have any insight to what could be causing this or any fixes?
Thanks!

>t would be useful in trying to use your Mac's own file browser
Michael means
The Finder, MaryAnn. :)
My advice to you is to
always use a card reader. See this other thread:

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?
66 views on this discussion so far and no replies...
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Arthur

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!

Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

Canon Rebel XSi and RAW

I am trying to import my RAW+jpeg mix files and the jpeg's are fine, but the RAW images give me a message that says they are not in a supported format. I have a friend who has imported his RAW files into Aperture 3.03 from the same camera model with no problem.
I am using Aperture 3.03 with the Digital Camera RAW 3.02.
Thoughts?

I imagine you mean the latest update of Digital Camera Raw 3.2 and you are on the latest software updates for the Mac and the firmware updates for the Rebel XSi:
http://www.canon.ca/InetDD/downloadDriverOs.htm?sessionid=839096DB870DC92BA93594 EC6BA63816&Families=1&Lines=7&Products=0002200420&LANGUAGE=ENG&URL=http%3A%2F%2F canoncanada.custhelp.com%2Fapp%2Fanswers%2Flist%2Fp%2F13%252C498%2Fc%2Fr_id%2F16 6%2Fsearch%2F1rnflag%3DDD&act=&actiontype=&contrl=os#
Certainly RAW+JPEG has been supported since Snow Leopard 10.6.0 so I suspect there’s some setting on the camera that is recording something differently than your friend. I use RAW+JPEG in the Adobe RGB 1998 colour space on my Canon Rebel XT without a problem. Recheck your settings for the camera, ensure all Canon stuff is current, and review the Import dialog in Aperture to see if you are handling the import of RAW+JPEG correctly.
