Canon PowerShot S330 doesn't appear in iPhoto '08

Plugged USB cable into camera and Mac. Turned on camera. Opened iPhoto. Camera does not appear in list.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Thanks, TD and Keith.
In reading the Fine Manual, Canon recommends that the camera be powered from the wall, rather than from batteries, while uploading. On a hunch, I exchanged the battery in the camera for a fresh one, and put the used one in the charger.
This time, connecting the camera brought iPhoto right up.
So, add to the list "Use a fresh battery or wall power."
Best,

Canon Powershot A75 no longer recognised by iPhoto after 7.1.3 (364) update

We have been importing photos from our Canon Powershot A75 to our iMac G5 (now running Leopard 10.5.2) for some time.
This morning an auto update for iPhoto was applied, taking iPhoto to 7.1.3 (364).
Now iPhoto won't recognise our camera at all. I've tried different USB ports. Made sure it is in photo playback mode. No joy.
Any suggestions?

You might try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

When I connect iPhone 4S in iMac, photos and videos can be imported through iPhoto, as usual. But, if I change the user account, iPhone no longer appears in iPhoto! If I return to the first account, iPhone simply doesn't appears in iPhoto also. Any idea?

Some more information:
- I have iPhoto '11 and, in iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1;
- I started having this issue about 2 months ago, but I can't associate it with any changes or updates;
- with iTunes, the behaviour is absolutely normal...

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

IPhone doesn't appear in iPhoto - unable to import

I am unable to import photos from my iPhone 3G into iPhoto 8 (v7.1.5).
The iPhone does not appear in the left pane, and no idea why?
Anny suggestions?

I am having the same problem with iPhoto '09.
I wonder if it's caused by MacFUSE cuz I just installed it today.

Canon PowerShot S20 isn't recognized by iPhoto

My CanonPowerShot S20 suddenly isn't recognized by iPhoto. I know that the USB port is ok because it will sync with my iPhoto at work. I tried reinstalling iPhoto but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

You shouldn't need Canon's software.
One easy way to check out your system is to create a new user and try iPhoto there.

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.

IPhoto / Image Capture doesn't find Canon Powershot Camera

Since I upgraded to Lion, my Macbook no longer sees my Canon Powershot SD 1200IS camera. Tried using iPhoto and Image Capture (following someone else's suggestion). No SD slot on my Macbook. Is there another solution?

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?

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)

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.

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.

Uploading Movies from Canon Powershot to iPhoto

I just recently purchased a Canon Powershot A590 IS. I recorded some movies and tried to upload them to my Macbook but no matter what application I use to open it, it stops and the "Application Quit Unexpectedly" thingy pops up. It doesn't matter if I use the Canon program or iPhoto or Quicktime. Also, the videos are in AVI format if that helps. How can I get my movies to upload?? Thanks!

Welcome to the APple user discussion forums
try image capture - in your applications folder.
You also can try a USB card reader and drag them to the desktop with the finder

IPhoto not exporting description for Canon Powershot

iPhoto is not exporting descriptions for photos taken by my Canon Powershot SX110 IS.
I use the camera to take a picture, import the photo, add a description and use File->Export, choosing JPEG, check box for Title and Keywords, check box for Locations. Perform export and view photo in Preview, view exif using Tools->Inspector. All pertinent exif data is there except description, including keywords and location. Specifically looking at IPTC and TIFF data fields.
However, if I export Photos from my wife's camera (a Canon SLR model) or a friend's Canon EOS model, then the descriptions do get exported. Any ideas or solutions on how to export the description for the Canon Powershot?

I can confirm that. I just imported it to iPhoto and no, I can't see the caption there either. But, and this is odd, there are several blank spaces there - for instance, in the shot below I just typed 'this is a test' where the cursor would let me.
So you can see there is some element of recognition that there is *something* there, which is weird. I tried copying and pasting that out but there are only spaces and no actual text that I can find. This is also repeated with Aperture.
There is some incompatibility between that camera and the Quicktime substructure on the Mac... I've simply never seen anything like this before.

Trouble importing photos to iPhoto 6.0.4 from Canon PowerShot S410

I have never really used iPhoto before, and decided to try it. I hooked up my camera properly, using the USB cable that came with it, and iPhoto said, "Ready to import 110 items." I gave the 'roll' a name and some comments, and hit 'import.' After a bit of a wait, I got an error saying, 'Unreadable Files: 110 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)' and a window listing all of the photos currently on my camera.
I checked the camera model on the 'compatible models' list [ http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html ], and it's there. The only support article I could find was for iPhoto 2 [ http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93275 ], and clearly didn't apply to my problem, because the files are definitely photos and there are over 28 GB available on my hard drive.
I can go back to using the other apps I've been using, but would like to try iPhoto, because it works so well with other apps on my new computer, such as iWork, etc. Any suggestions?

Nena_nieve:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder, to manually upload the photos to a folder on the Desktop. Then see if the files will import form there. If not then there's some format issue possibly.
Do you have any video clips in the camera that you took? Or any voice annotations that you made for the photos? They could have triggered the failure to import but shouldn't have.
See how the manual upload goes and report back. You do not need any driver for the camera. It's build into OS X.
Do you Twango?
