Canon SD 750 Elph not recognized by iPhoto '08

Hi discussions. This is just an answer to a problem I was having and might be helpful to anyone having iPhoto camera connection problems. First off, I have four apple computers; three running 10.4.11 and one, a new 2.8ghz MacBook Pro, running 10.5.5. The Canon 750 Elph is two months old. From the beginning it has connected to my desktop DP 2.5ghz G5 PPc, my 12" 1.5ghz G4 Powerbook (both running 10.4.11) and now the MacBook Pro. It would not connect to my wife's 17" 1.33ghz G4 Powerbook running 10.4.11. System Prefs identified the Elph connected to the usb high speed bus so I knew that the usb ports were operational. Image Capture stated; No camera connected. As always, all updates had been performed and permissions run. I trashed iPhoto '08 along with its prefs and all iPhoto receipts. I then reinstalled iPhoto '08 and ran permissions. Still no connection. It was time for _+Apple Discussions+_. I followed a thread from some weeks ago to try rebuilding the iPhoto library. I saved and rebuilt. No connection. My apologies for not remembering the user in the thread who stated that a reinstall of the last OSX combo update might do the trick. He was speaking of the 10.5.5 combo update so I figured it should be the same for the 10.4.11 combo. I did not know that you could install an update over the existing OS which has already been updated. I am always learning. BINGO! The Elph connected immediately. Thanks to APPLE DISCUSSIONS, I still have a bit of hair left and a wife who loves me. I hope maybe this post will save the hair of someone else.
Best Regards

Thanks for the feedback. You should mark your post as answered so viewers will know there's a solution included in your post.

Pictures not recognized by iPhoto

I have just installed Lion and iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5.
Now, when I import pictures they are not recognized by iPhoto. I can see them i Finder.
At first the import seems to work: The import function runs and the event is created. (The name of the event is typed in by me as normally before starting the import).
But when I open the event the pictures aren’t there. When I restart iPhoto the event has disappeared.
Can anyone help?

I have solved the problem my self
Press the Command and Option key. Launch iPhoto while holding the two keys. A dialog box comes up. Put a check mark in “Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions”.

Jpeg files on camera are not recognized by iphoto and won't import

Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS is connected via USB and recognized by iPhoto, however none of these files are importing because the files are unreadable and in an unrecognized format. An example file name and ext that is not importing is "100_2327.JPG".
I do not have a card reader and currently the only way I can get photos from my camera onto my hard drive is using the USB cable.
Thanks in advance for your consideration

Had the same problem after ? upgrade (before everything worked well with my Canon EOS 450) Found out that import worked fine when connecting to my wife's iMac - so, it could not be the camera or formatting og the cameras memory...
Problem was definitively located to connection via USB hub build in to Apple Monitor!!! When connecting to USB connector on keyboard, everything works well - connecting back to Apple Cinema Display (connected to MacBook) is reproducing the same error. I assume that the same may happen with other hubs? But not tested!

My Canon EOS is no longer recognized by iPhoto.

I have been using my Canon EOS with my iMac OSX Version 10.8.5 and recently iPhoto stopped recognizing it. I am unable to download photos. I have to copy them from the memory card. At the same time, Dropbox is recognizing them and a window pops up when I plug in my camera and turn it on, asking me if I want to upload to Dropbox.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I get my Canon EOS recognized by iPhoto again?
Thank you.

Get the photos off of the card and then reformat it using the camera's format command and try again

Ipod touch is not recognized by iphoto

When I connect my ipod touch to my macbook, iphoto is launched as well as itunes. It used to be that iphoto imported the photos on my itouch but it doesn't do that anymore. In fact there is no "devices" item in the left column in iphoto. I think this changed when I upgraded to Lion. Does anyone know any way to get iphoto to recognize my itouch again? Music, podcast, & app synching seem to working fine via itunes.

Canon Gl2 Video Camera Not Recognized with Firewire 800 Connection

I have a late 2010 mac with 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 Processor with 12GB DDR3 running 10.8.2 OSX. I have a Canon GL2 video camcorder with a MiniDV tape I am trying to download to my computer. I am using a new 4pin to 9pin Rocketfish Firewire 800 cable. My computer is not recognizing the firewire input from the GL2. As suggested with other support threads, I have tried to turn the mac and computer off and on, as well as check to see if the cable is working. I have also tried both a trial version of Final Cut, and Imovie 09 which is loaded on my Mac, neither of which will recognize the camera. I clicked on the System Information icon and looked at the Firewire 800 status which was:
FireWire Bus:
Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
At least I know it recognized something. I have also checked to make sure the Canon is set to DV-Out on the Menu. Since I am unable to use a USB connector with MiniDV, would there be any other way to either A) Download the video to the computer, or B) get the Mac to recognize the source plugged into the Firewire? Any help with this would be excellent.

I believe that in order to be recognized, you have to start the process from within iMovie of Final Cut; as for your FW port, you can try these two different troubleshooting steps (may or may not work, but won't hurt):
Reset SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
It may that your FW port is defective; it that turns out to be the problem, I hope you purchased Applecare because those ports are an integral part of the logic board, so that would have to be replaced ($$$).
Since your footage is on DV tapes, you do need the FW to transfer it or it will not work. One other (involved) way would be to transfer your footage to a DVD if you have a DVD recorder and then get it on the Mac from there.

Canon 7D MRaw files not recognized by PS Elements 8 on Mac OS X

Canon 7D MRaw files are not recognized by PS Elements 8 on Mac OS X.
After I installed CR 5.6 I can see MRaw files in Bridge CS4, but the files still do not open in PS element 8
Can anything be done to fix this?

Hi again,
I found "Library\Application Support\Adobe\plugins\CS3 (or
CS4)\Fileformats". As it happens, the camera raw.plugin 5.6 was already
installed for CS4 but not for CS3, which I therefore proceeded to do. When I
tried to open a Canon 7D MRaw file in CS 4, PSE opened with the same error
message as before, i.e the file format was not recognized.
However, just for the fun of it I tired to open the same file from CS3 in
PSE 6 and it works! but with the warning that the ACR expires in Jan 2010, I
think
So, there is still something wrong with the CS4/PSE 8, but I think I like
PSE better so I am OK for now - although the irony is that the only reason I
bought PSE 8 was to be able to work on Canon 7D raw files.....
Thanks,
Niels R

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.

Canon Powershot SD400 not recognized by iphoto

I am trying to import pics into iphoto, just like i have done over the past 4 months, however recently my iphoto stopped recognizing the camera. I am connecting via usb, and am sire it is not the connection because it was recognized with the same cord on another mac I have. if anyone knows what could be the problem I would appreciate it.

Merry Christmas Emma,
I don't have the answer to your iPhoto problem but you may be able to get the photos off of the card using Image Capture and then importing them into iPhoto.

Canon S120 RAW images not working with iPhoto. Why.

Canon S120 RAW images why they can't be downloaded to iPhoto and/or when will Apple upgrade iPhoto so they can?

Raw Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. That's Model not brand. The Raw from an S120 is not the same as the Raw from an S110 and so on. This is a pretty new camera, and the makes don't supply the Raw decoding, so they have to be reverse engineered. Then that will be released as part of an OS or camera raw update.
Let Apple know you want this camera supported.

File format not recognized in iphoto

When I try to import photos from my camera's SD card I get an error message that says the files are in an unrecognizable format. I'm not sure what has changed, I was able to do this before without issue and I don't recall making any changes to the files or my computer. Anyone know a solution to get my photos onto my computer?

Create a minimum of 10 GB of free space (yes really) - a simple google search will confirm this (in fact many suggest a minimum of 15% of your hard drive be kept free) - one link is here - http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html
The best solution may be to get an external hard drive and move the iPhoto (and possibley iTunes) library to it -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Why are photos and videos taken with my iPhone 6 not recognized in iPhoto?

My Mac and my iPhone 6 are both up to date but I still can't upload photos and videos to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. It gives me the message that they are in an unrecognizable format. I have restarted my Mac and tried selecting a few photos at a time to see if there were a couple that stalled the whole process but I get the error message every time. What can I do?

Does it happen with all pictures, or just those taken in low light? If its just low light what you are seeing is "noise" in the image, and there isn't much you can do about it. The resolution of the back camera is much higher than the resolution of the screen, so you should not see grain anywhere within the zoom range of the viewing screen - unless you took the picture using zoom. As the camera does not have optical zoom, when you zoom before snapping all you are doing is using less of the sensor, and that can result in a grainier image.

Canon 70D RAW file not recognized in PSE 11

I tried opening a RAW file from my Canon 70D in my Elements 11. It did not recognize it. I read Elements 12 can read it. Can I upgrade to 12 for free? If not how can I get my Elements 11 to open the RAW files?

Elements 12 will open the files if you update the camera raw plug-in to the latest version.
When the version number to the left of the decimal point increases then you have to pay more money. For Elements this is once per year in the fall. Upgrading from PSE11 to PSE12 would be an upgrade-price, which is cheaper than the non-upgrade price.
You can use the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to DNGs and open then with an older versions of the camera raw plug-in.

Canon 7D MRaw & SRaw not recognized in ACR 5.5

Hi,
I was testing the Canon 7D MRaw and SRaw, but ACR 5.5 does not read them. It does read the full RAW file. Will these be supported soon?
Thanks,

The Lightroom 3 public beta, which presumably includes new technology that will also be in ACR 6 (CS5), while only having a beta camera profile for the 7D, can already process mRAW and sRAW from the 7D so Adobe knows how. From what Eric said in an earlier thread, I'd expect the next version of ACR, which would be ACR 5.6 for CS4, to have mRAW and sRAW working along with the proper suite of 7D camera profiles as well as full support for the G11 and other very recent cameras, perhaps beta support for the 5D.4 if it ships soon enough for Adobe to get one in time.
The current drawback of using LR3 for anything is that the luminance noise-reduction is disabled, while Adobe solicits feedback on and perfects the color noise-reduction which is MUCH better, already. As such, high ISO photos look really good as far as color-noise but also have a very fine grain to them, much finer than ACR 5/LR2 conversions even with Luminance NR turned off, so the underlying demosaicking algorithm is apparently different. The LR3 beta doesn't expire until 4/30/2009 so I wouldn't expect LR3 or ACR6 until spring next year, so ACR5 would likely be refreshed two more times unless they release CS5/ACR6 earlier than the LR3 beta-expiration suggests.

Canon G12 RAW files not recognized

The DNG converter V6.3 I just downloaded and installed does not recognize RAW files from my Canon G12. Any idea why?

I read through those linked pages, but they didn't give me any solution.
After nosing around through a LOT of sites on Adobe's site (why aren't pages dated, took forever to find the most up to date or pertinent pages)…I found this one that was slightly related, but worked for me.
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
I had to download this zip, and manually place the plugin as directed, and now, After Effects CS6 will recognize my CR2 raw files from my canon 5D3.
Thank you for the help, it led me in the right direction, but the link above was the actual solution I found that worked!!
