Connecting a new camera to iphoto

I've used iphoto with my Canon camera for a year now. This weekend I had to shoot with a Nikon camera. After uploading I noticed all my other pictures disappeared and only the new ones were there. I shut down walked away and came back today and my old pictures are there but the new ones are not. Help, why did the old ones disappear, why did they come back, and where are the new ones? Help!

I have used iPhoto with three different cameras, with no difficulty.
Did you just plug the camera in or do something else?
It sounds like you created a new library, instead of adding pictures to your old one.
Search in your Photo's directory for more than one iPhoto library.
You can use one of the iPhoto library management programs to merge the two libraries if this is the case.

Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8. Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340. Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms. Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8). Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
thanks.

Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera. I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix? (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.7

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have foud you having looking for an answer to a problem i have had. re: New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3 and the answers listed for it the problem has been occuring on my 3 Macs, all running OS 10.4.7 and firmware on the new 20D at 2.0.3. The camera would not connect to the Mac with any software.
Canon told me to make sure that the connection mode is set to normal (which didn't work) but today they tell me to change it to P2P and iPhoto recognised the camera and downloaded. Still can't use the canon software (camera not connected / recognised) but they have said that a senior technition will be contacting me so i will keep you up to date.
All the best.

I have an update from my telephone conversation earlier today:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.
From the information supplied it would appear that the update in operating system is the cause of the problem. We can confirm that Canon are currently investigating compatibility with the recent update of the Apple Macintosh operating sytem OSX 10.4.7. If any software updates are neccessary they will become available from :

I'll update with more.....

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

If FW is the only connection the camera has then yes Thunderbolt Firewire adapter is correct. It's available from a number of sources including Apples own online store, in the USA the link would be:

I connected a digital camera memory chip with approximately 100 photos on it. The photos showed up in iPhoto. I believe I deleted the photos from the memory chip before importing them. Is there any way I can get the photos back?

Terence, thanks that site is a gem...have to explore it more fully at home as it drove security here crazy
Looks like just the ticket for saving mistakes.

New camera for old iPhoto

We've been intending to buy a new camera for a bit, nothing fancy, just something a bit better than our now antique Canon (PowerShot A10) (yes, really!) and that can shoot some brief video. Just as I was about to buy, I wondered whether all the new cameras were in fact compatible with iPhoto 6. Of course, all of the links to the "compatible cameras" pages within the iPhoto6 help app are broken (indeed, why would Apple keep updating them at this point?).
Then I am just learning about RAW format, because of course with our ancient camera I have no idea what it is. I suppose we should choose a camera from this list to get full capabilities from it, which does rule out a number we had looked at.
I just discovered that they offer the new iPhoto as a standalone in the App store, and maybe it's worth the measly $15 for it.

Thanks -- as I looked into RAW, I realized it was far beyond our needs (and the cameras that do take RAW format pictures far beyond our price range).
So any camera, even a new model, would be fine, huh? I think I was fooled by googling up old web pages when this was not yet the case; and it doesn't help that the iPhoto 6 help app has a (non-working) link to a (no longer applicable) list of "compatible cameras."
Thanks again.

IPhoto doesn't find movies on new camera

Hi there,
have just bought a new camera (Canon Powershot SX20). iPhoto doesn't recognise that there are movies on it, so won't download them. Have tried image capture and same issue. No problem with image files though.
Camera takes HD movies so wondered if my slightly antiquated software doesn't know what these are.
My old camera used to show on the desktop so I could quite easily drag/drop files from the camera to a file on the computer. New camera doesn't show. Is there a way to change this?
Thanks for your help

Sorry, maybe didn't make myself clear. Its a stills camera which has the usual facility to do short movie clips (in HD). When I use my other camera iPhoto will just download the photos and movies from the camera in one go and will show photos and movie clips in the library.
Would like to be able to do the same with new camera.
However, I can't seem to get anything on the computer to recognise that there are movies on the camera. iMovie doesn't recognise that the camera is attached (presumably because its not a camcorder?). image capture will quite happily let me download the photos but also doesn't see the movies on the camera.
Other ideas? Just give up and buy a card reader?
BTW - very useful "feature" for it to not show on the desktop!!

My albums and slideshows disappeared from the left column when I ejected a Canon camera after a download. My version of iPhoto '08 (V7.1.5(378)) had just crashed when I first connected the Canon camera to download. I restarted iPhoto.....

My albums and slideshows disappeared from the left column when I ejected a Canon camera after a download. My version of iPhoto '08 (V7.1.5(378)) had just crashed when I first connected the Canon camera to download. I restarted iPhoto.....successfully downloaded 22 photos, and ejected Canon camera, upon which albums & slideshows highlighted blue and disappeared from the left column. The photos still seem to be under the EVENTS and PHOTOS in the LIBRARY. Any thoughts?

Restore from your back up.

I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it
No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8
You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
Bear in mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too.

How do I prevent iPhoto from starting every time I connect to a camera card?

Every time I put in a camera card iPhoto starts. Is there a way to prevent this short of deleting iPhoto from the applications?

In the iphoto Preferences disable "connecting Camera opens" - set it to "No application".
If that does not suffice, do the same in Image Capture:
In Image Capture - with your camera card inserted- click the disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the window to reveal the menu to set the preferences for the device:
Then set the option to "Connectiong this ... opens" to "No application"

Connecting digital Camera and iPhoto 4.0

Is there a way to prevent iPhoto 4.0 from automatically opening when I connect my digital camera to the my BW G3 ? Thanks

This setting is covered in the Preferences to Image Capture, in your Applications Folder.

What is best way to connect new camera to iMac.

I just got a new camera - canon PowerShot sx40 - I want to connect it to my iMac to down video. It does 1080 dpi. My computer was from feb 2010. It has 4 USB and one FireWire 800 port. No thunderbolt. What cables do I need.

The camera shoud have Firewire 400 cable (arrow looking port), all you need is a Firewire 400/800 (boxy looking port) adapter.
This will allow the camera to stream video to the computer and transfer at the fastest speed.
If you only have USB on the camera (may be USB mini port), then it's really for transfering, your Mac only has USB 2 ports, so find out which ones are the USB 2 (as some are USB 1 which is slower)
Newer devices may have USB 3, but it's backwards compatible with USB 2 and 1, just slower.
