Canon Powershot A560 and Remote Shooting

I am unable to use remote shooting with my canon powershot. I installed all of the software, but when I click the tab for remote shooting, the actual button to start is 'grayed out'. Is this a software problem, or is it related to Intel or a faulty camera?

I feel like an idiot. lol.
The Canon A560 does not support remote shooting. It's a shame.

  • 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!
    PowerMac G5 single 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    see my posts in another thread on issue of S50 and RAW and iPhoto and Preview.
    submit feedback via iPhoto to Apple and request support script...Apple messed up.

  • Canon PowerShot A480 and Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    A friend and I will be taking some pictures together this weekend, I on my Lumix and she on her Powershot A480. Before she leaves, we want to exchange pics by just downloading them from our cameras to both computers. She seems to think that I need to download Zoombrowser EX to be able to suck the images off of her camera, but trying to find that to download (or ImageBrowser) has not worked. All I have found are updates, so I suspect I have to have the original from her CD first. However, I have a little card reader that works just great with my PNY SD card. Does anyone know:
    1) Can I get ImageBrowser for my MacBook?
    2) Or will the card reader work?
    Thank you very much.
    Banty

    lol, the first thing I managed to do was destroy my iPhoto. Since my computer belongs to my school, I don't have the system disk. I didn't worry about it because I don't like iPhoto. I just copy the images from the memory card into a folder on my computer, then work with them in Photoshop.
    If my card reader can read her memory card, then I should be able to do the same, yes?
    Thank you.

  • The new Canon PowerShot TX1 and the "openDML JPEG codec"

    I like to buy this camera, so I download some sample HD videos.
    This camara use "Apple openDML JPEG" AVI codec, but I can´t configure the finalcut sequence whit that codec.
    I can open the videos whith QT, and no problem, but I can´t edit this videos in final cut.
    I don´t like to convert the videos to another codec, because i lost a lot of time whith that.
    Can you help me?
    Thnak you very much and sorry for my bad english

    Log into another user account on your Mac, create a similar slideshow in iPhoto there and test to see if it stutters.
    By fixes I'm referring to these three:
    FIX #1
    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier) 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
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    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.

  • Problems with Canon PowerShot SD450 movies and iPhoto (6.0.2)

    I recently got a Canon PowerShot SD450 and got a 2GB memory stick for it. I took some movies with the SD450 but am having a **** of a time getting iPhoto to pull movies off the camera that are > 500MB, give or take. Small movies are fine. I've downloaded movies that are 10MB, 50MB, 200MB, all fine.
    When I have a > 500MB movie in the camera, iPhoto will try to download it; The hard drive will spin and grind for a few minutes as it, from what I can gather, downloads the movie and then iPhoto will say import complete, but the movie doesn't show up in the library.
    Anyone aware of any limitations with iPhoto in that regard? Clip size or something?

    Hi Jason,
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • Can no longer play video from Canon PowerShot with QT Pro

    Don't know what's changed. I have played these videos many times before. They were taken by my son who is active duty Navy overseas, so they are important to me. The "Movie Info" from QT says the format is: 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz/MJPG, 320 x 240, Millions. QT "Movie Properties" list MVI_0025.mov, but the Audio Settings and Presentation choices are greyed out. The Video Trach is shown as MJPG as you would expect. I can't "save as" or "export" so re-encoding is out. I'm at a loss here. Why they played before and not now is beyond me. They were added to my Hard Drive via Iomega's Floppy plus 7-in-1 card reader. The actual video was taken with a Canon PowerShot A510 and recorded to a SanDisk 512MB SD Card which I copied to my hard drive through the card reader with no problems. My G4 runs great with no problems. These videos were added to two logins which both fail to play now. Sound is fine. Anyone have any ideas how this could have happened or what to do?

    QuickTimeKirk,
    Fortunately I can boot to OS9.2. The problem is that the OS goes so far back in time that I'm not sure I could figure out where to install a codec that would work. And I'm afraid the bigger problem is, where would I download the right codec? (In OS9 that would be a QuickTime plug-in, right?) I tried Classic, using QuickTime 5.0.2. No good. I get the standard message "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." I guess when I saw MJPG I was really thinking MJPEG and couldn't se why it wouldn't work. I see now that these are very different codecs. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did some digging and I believe the codec needed came with QuickTime 2.5. Also, if it makes any difference, I neglected to say that I use Flip4Mac WMV. I don't see how that would adversely effect a video file with a MJPG format but I thought I should mention it. Thanks for responding!

  • Updated Camera Raw File for CS2 / Canon Powershot G10

    I am still using Photoshop CS2, but unfortunately I need the updated Camera Raw file (v5.6) for use with the Canon Powershot G10, and it appears the unless I upgrade to CS4 I won't be able to view any RAW files shot with this camera.
    Is there an updated Camera Raw version for the Powershot G10 that is still supported under CS2?
    Thanks!

    ACR 5.4 was released last night and it requires CS4.  That is the latest and current version of Camera Raw.
    5.6 probably won't appear until next year.
    If you download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.4, you can convert the raw files from your camera to raw DNG files you can then open in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

  • Canon Powershot images not readable

    I have a client who uses a Canon Powershot A560. The jpgs taken by the camera can't be read on my Mac. I've noticed that others have this problem, too, but I haven't found a solution. I've had the client use the Image Browser utility that comes with the camera to export the images to different formats, but none of those can be read, either.
    What is Canon doing to the images that causes them to deviate from standard file format? Is there a utility of some sort that I can use on my Mac to read them?
    I've reviewed Canon's support areas but can't find a solution. Since I don't own the camera, I can't get tech support, either. Thanks for any tips.

    Rather than blame Canon I would suspect a single dodgy camera. Can these pics be read on any Machine? Mac or Windows?
    Regards

  • 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.

  • On my canon powershot A3300IS the lense is stuck in the extended position and will not close

    I have a canon powershot A3300 IS  the lense is stuck in the extended position and will not close. How can I fix this myself?

    Forneypamela,
    Please remove the battery from the camera for a few minutes.  Then, put the battery back in the camera and power it on again.  If the lens is still stuck in the extended position, the camera is going to need service.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
    To start your repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.
    If 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 unit offered through this program carries a 90 day warranty.  The original non-functioning camera would then be returned to Canon USA for recycling using a prepaid shipping label that would be provided.

  • Iv'e upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now microsoft office 2004 and my canon powershot camera software will not work. any suggestions?

    I just upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8. Now my Microsoft office applications,(word, excel, ppt) and my camera software to transfer picts from my camera will not launch. (Separate apps but all stopped working as soon as I upgraded from 10.5.8). The software for the Canon Powershot is Ver.37.2. Image browser 6.2 EOS utility 1.1.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Also if you could tell me what happens to the individual jpegs that get imported through iPhoto, I would go back to using that instead of the Canon software. I want to be able to go into a folder and see all the jpegs and not have to rely on iPhoto's one enormous file. What happens if that iPhoto file gets corrupt? Thanks, Leesha

    Actually, Microsoft Office 2004 works fine with Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x. However, it does require Rosetta, Apple's app for Classic apps. In your upgrade from Lepoard 10.5.8, Rosetta may not have installed but you can manually install it with the instructions here.
    On another note, when upgrading the OS, some anomalies get resolved by repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
    One more note, there was an issue with Rosetta crashing with OS 10.6.8 in February 2012. Apple released a security update that fixed it. You can see if Software Update (launch from the Apple menu) shows it or manually download Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 and install it. Software Update will also show other applicable apps available for updating for your upgraded system.
    Rosetta is no longer available with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. Then you will need to upgrade MS Office 2011 for Mac.

  • Canon Powershot G16 RAW files and CS5

    I want to be able to work with Canon RAW files shot on my G16 but CS5 doesn't seem to support this. Is there a plug in? or do I need to purchase new/latest software? I really don't want to if I can help it - I have a budget and I'm quite happy with everything else about CS5.
    Nick

    Photoshop uses an Adobe plugin called Camera Raw to read Raw files. Camera Raw must be updated every time a new camera comes on to the market and not all versions of Camera Raw are compatible with all versions of Photoshop.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    The Canon Powershot G16 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    To open Raw files from the G16 in Photoshop, your choices are to upgrade to CS6 or join the Cloud.
    Alternatively, you can download the free DNG converter from Adobe, convert all G16 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in CS5

  • Photoshop Elements 8 and Canon Powershot G15.

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 and a Canon Powershot G15.  I need to download Raw from this camera, which appears to be impossible, although it will download from my Nikon D60.  Do I need a plug in to achieve the result with the Powershot; if so what will it cost and how do I get it?  Thanks,
    brucem

    Hi,
    The G15 is supported in Camera Raw 7.3 (or later) which, unfortunately, is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 8.
    You can either upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 (or later) or download and install the free Adobe DNG converter. You copy your CR2 to a folder and then give the DNG converter that folder name. The converter will then convert those files to the DNG format. the DNG files can then be used by Photoshop Elements 8.
