Copying from a Canon 8800F to a Canon ip4700

I have a 'scan direct to printer' copying problem on my iMac. This only exists on my user account on my iMac. I set up another user account with admin privileges, and the set-up works perfectly. The set-up also works perfectly plugged into my MacBook. Thus proving that there is no Canon problem of OS10.6.3 system problem. FWIW, support from Canon has been excellent.
I am unable in my user account on the iMac to set a default printer, which seems to be the root of the problem, as the scanning software doesn't then see a printer to print to. After 90 minutes on the 'phone to Apple Support, deleting, editing and substituting various Preference files in the HD and User libraries without success, they are as baffled as me (but are trying very hard, 10/10 for effort!).
Any ideas most welcome.
I know that I can reinstall SL (and updates) without needing to reinstall my apps and data, but SFAIK this OS reinstall will leave all my preferences as currently set, so I guess that it is unlikely to help. I'm due a call-back from Apple later today, so I will ask them the question.
PS I could sort this out in XP in minutes! Grrrr!

  • Is there a way to import clips from AVCHD folders I have copied from my camcorder to my hard disk? With FCE I could import these clips using log and transfer.

    In FCP-X is there a way to import AVCHD clips from an AVCHD file folder I have copied from my Canon hard disk camcorder to my iMac hard disk?  With FCE I used log and transfer with no problem; but, FCP-X doesn't import them. It will import AIC files that have been created in FCE from the original AVCHD files.  If FCP-X will not import these files directly from the copied AVCHD folder, is there a workaround using other software to convert the files? For example, Compressor? (Canon does not provide any AVCHD conversion software for OSX).

    Hi jphil and Tom
    I have exactly the same problem but the answer you (Tom) provided did not help in my case. Trying to "Import ->From Camera" and pointing to the AVCHD folder yields the error message: "(Folder) contains unsupported files or has invalid directory structure."
    Folder structure is
    AVCHD
         BDMV
              CLIPINF
                   .CPI files
              Index.bdm
              Movieobj.bdm
              PLAYLIST
                   .MPL file
              STREAM
                   .MTS files
    AVF_INFO
         3 files (.bnp, .inp, .int)
    DCIM
         101MSDCF
              empty
         MODELCFG.IND (file)
    My question is: Is that not a "camera archive" of the type you talked about in the thread? Is it on principle not possible to import the files in that format/directory structure? If not, since the shots were not taken by myself, what should I ask the guy who shot the movies to give me to be able to work with them in FC?
    I work with a brand new Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 (still very clumsy with it) on an iMac 11,3 with MacOS 10.6.8.
    I downloaded the latest version of codec updates from the Apple support site but no difference.
    Thank you in advance

  • Why Lightroom 4 won't copy pictures directly from my Canon 7D?

    Hi all,
    i have just one question. Why lightroom 4( full version) won't import my photos directly from my Canon 7D, after connecting it to my laptop with USB( Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit)?
    Lightroom won't find any files, even on full CF card.
    Thanks for any help.
    Regards
    Martin

    Hello Martin,
    I have Canon EOS 7D, Win7x64, LR4. Run LR, connect camera, turn it on. Wait couple of seconds/minutes, the camera should appear under Start/Devices and printers as Canon EOS 7D. Now in LR go to File/Import photos and video and you should be able to import the pictures as on the image bellow. Canon EOS 7D does not support USB mass storage mode.

  • I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D.  Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

    I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5.  Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'.  I cannot get past this.  I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto.  I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!  Also I am working on a Mac.  Thanks!

    I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5. 
    Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
    It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
    Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
    Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive.  Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.

  • I'm unable to download RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives. JPEGS are fine. WHY?

    Suddenly I'm unable to download my RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives when just a few weeks ago I was able to. What happened? I can download JPEGS just fine. No error codes, software works like normal, i see the previews and when i go to my flash drives to open the files the dated file is there but it opens with no images. I've reformatted the memory card twice now, so that's not the problem. Any ideas from all my new friends out there. Thank you.

    We may need more info.  What are your flash drives?  What are you using to copy?  What computer/OS do you use?
    Normally a file is a file... a computer doesn't care what type of file it is.  Whether or not any software knows how to hope the file wont impact the computer's ability to copy it.  This makes me wonder if it is being copied, but can't be opened (e.g. if the software you are using doesn't know how to deal with a Canon T2i RAW file (.CR2).
    RAW is more of a "concept" than a "standard".  Every camera model's RAW file will be slightly different.  If you want to open an image in, say, Photoshop... they provide "Adobe Camera RAW" updates for their software and you'd need the update that supports your T2i (btw, when Adobe releases a "new" version of software, they tend to stop providing RAW updates for all previous versions of that software.  So depending on what version of software you use... the only way to get it to work with RAW may involve having to upgrade the software (there are some cumbersome work-arounds.))

  • Why won't CS4 open the CR2 RAW files from my Canon G11?

    I am running Snow Leopard  V6.2. I have Adobe Design Premium with what I thought were all of the most recent updates loaded but when I tried to open one of the RAW files from my Canon G11  in PS CS4 it did not recognize the file type and it and would not open.  Wouldn't CS4 premium update also update PS CS4 with all the most recent files including ACR and the latest definitions?
    What version of ACR would have the latest RAW definitions for the G11 and how should it be loaded?

    What is the correct way of installing the ACR plugin?  Just ru

    This is what is written on that page:
    To open a DMG file:
    Double-click the file. This will open Disk Copy, which mounts the image on your desktop.
    Manual installation on Mac:
    1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
    2. Open the download file and double-click Setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    3. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.
    Is that so difficult?   

  • While will my photoshop elements 5.0 no longer download photos from my Canon T2i camera?

    Just recently my Photoshop Elements 5.0 will not download from my Canon T2i camera.
    - It connects properly, finds and counts the photos on the card, but when I click on "get photos" to download the photos, I get an error message saying it cannot find the camera. That the camera is either not connected, or not powered on. It says this even though the camera is connected to the USB port, and powered on
    - Re-botting my computer and reconnecting my camera also do not fix this issue
    - Looks like maybe others are also having this issue
    Any thoughts or input are much appreciated. Thanks !!

    What OS are you on?
    Is the camera still listed as connected outside of Elements?
    Are you able to copy files from your camera to your hard drive outside of Elements?
    Do you have a card reader and if so, does that work?

  • Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue?

    Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue? I tried to sync them over using iTunes last night but it says that they cannot be played on the device. But they have previously

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • .THM Sidecar Files Not Included When Importing Video Directly From Camera (Canon 7d)

    Lightroom (3.4) has always copied the .THM sidecard files when I have imported video files from my Canon 7d using a card reader.  However I am on a trip and have forgotten my card reader so I have been copying directly from the camera and for some reason Lightroom is not copying the .THM sidecar files and thus I am missing all my valuable metadata such as camera, exposure, focal length, ISO, etc. associated with the video files.  Very frustrating!
    Any ideas?

    Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself.  Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files.  Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

  • TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

    After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"  This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

    You should still use Image Capture IMHO.  If it was my gear, that's what I would do.  No need to worry about software upgrades.

  • Importing footage from my canon hv30 video looks slow why?

    Footage done in canon hv30 HD looks a bit slow audio is ok. I try putting case in none and it looks just a bit better. somebody?

    This camera doesn't actually shoot 24fps. It shoots 24 over 60.
    "You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film." (From the Canon web site)
    This means the tape is actually recording 29.97 with pulldown added to make up the difference.
    Bottom line: the media is 29.97, what iMovie calls 30.

  • FCE capture from my Canon XHA1 captures as one long clip

    I've never had this problem capture using FCE before. I'm capturing from a Canon XHA1 and it's capturing the video as one long clip rather than the many short clips I shot. And unlike when you capture DV, you can't use the "DV start/stop Detect option" when the footage is HD..so that's not a solution.
    I'm using a new Macbook pro and was wondering if that has anything to do with it given that i"m using the newest OSX as well.
    Any ideas? It appeared to do the same thing when I captured into iMovie.
    Or or is there a setting on the camera that I've failed to change?

    Dear Phojo1,
    I also have a XHA1 and am experiencing the same problem. I was wondering if you shot your footage in HD, and what are your settings on your camera for recording and outputting. The first footage I captured I used hd with 1440x 1080 apple intermediate with 29.97 rate. I had no problem. It captured each clip separately. Now I can only capture with dv/ntsc settings. I'm am trying to see where the problem is. By the way this started happening when I upgraded to 4.01. It also does the same in imovie. Thanks for any information.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.
