CRW supported? JUST sort of. Depends on the camera

Apple's page about Aperture's specs in http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.html broadly states support for the following RAW formats: "CRW, NEF, TIF, CR2, OLY, DNG"
Just so it is stated somewhere (which Apple should BTW), I will say it here. CRW is not a universal format. Canon tweaked CRW for each camera it released shooting RAW in that format and as of Mac OS X 10.4.3 and Aperture 1.0 not all them are supported
If someone wanted to use Aperture with a Canon PowerShot G2's CRW, you cannot. Canon PowerShot G2's CRW is not supported. Time for you to leave a note at http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
Surprisingly Apple's iPhoto but not Aperture's page (or so I think) points to a list of camera's the RAW files of which are supported (seemingly) by all Apple's apps, not just iPhoto:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2.5 GB RAM

There may be some hope for older camera support, like the G1. I have a G2, which is also not supported. But the G3 is. Turns out there is a system file that you can edit to "add support". It's described here :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=262930
I tried this for the G2, and sure enough, it worked. I do not know how significantly different the RAW file format between the G1 and G2 is, but if they are not too different, you may find that changing the G2 to a G1 in this file may work for you. You may be able to get other Canon RAW file types to work by changing the G2 to the model number of the camera.
Note that while this 'hack' seems to work, I'm not convinced that it is the optimal RAW converter for the G2 (or G1). I find the conversions a bit on the dark side, but these can be compensated for through later adjustements.
Until Apple adds more formal support for these older cameras, you may want to give this a try.
Sure wish someone knew what all the numbers meant so we could tweak the parameters and improve the Raw conversions. But, they are not too bad for my G2.

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I get the camera button and it opens there is a black border around the screen and the screen is small and I don't know what I did to cause it or what to do to make it go away anyone help

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I opened the camera there is a big black border around the screen causing the picture itself frame to be smaller I don't know what I did to cause this or what I can do to make it go away can anyone help/

First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

Importing just a few pics from the camera, not all

Hey guys,
I'm brand new to iPhoto and i want to just bring in a few pics from my camera but right now I can only bring in all of them (200 pics). Does iPhoto really not do this?
Thanks

Jordy:
There are two ways.
1 - use Image Capture, located in the Applications folder. You can preview the thumbnails and upload selected photos to the desktop from where you can import into iPhoto.
2 - once you get the camera mounted in iPhoto hit the Return key twice. The Edit window will come up with the thumbnails in the photo bin at the top. However the thumbnails will be blank but you can see the photo in the main edit window where you can drag it onto the Library icon or an album icon to import. You can only import one at a time and see one at a time. It works but is very slow. #1 would be my choice and it would be quick and you'd be much less susceptible to auto-shutdown by the camera due to a low battery which can have bad results.
Do you Twango?
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.

Can I upgrade the Camera Raw support in PSE 11 to version 8.3 or 8.4, so it supports my Nikon D5300?

I just upgraded my camera - and the Camera Raw support in PSE 11 is not able to support it. Can I upgrade the Camera Raw plugin, or is Adobe going to force me to buy an upgrade to PSE 12 or another of their products?

You'd better complain to Nikon... Just like other camera manufacturers who issue new raw formats for each and every new camera. Adobe and all other software companies have to reverse engineer each new format. Those manufacturers could use the open and public DNG format (a few do).
Adobe answer to that problem is to provide a free software, the DNGconverter which can batch convert a folder of raw files to the universal DNG raw format which your old Elements version can read.

HT5192 has anyone else foud the security bug of the camera in the lock screen after the update to 5.1

Hi
has anyone found that you can get into an iPhone from the lock screen with the camera option. I have just upgraded and now have the camera option on the lock screen. you can go into the camera without the need of the pass code and then when in it press the home button to get into the phone. this is a big security problem, or am I alone of thinking this.
thanks
ally

I have tried that a few times. Also I can only get the phone to lock out someone after using the camera shortcut on the lock screen if the passcode is required immediately. If it is set to 1 minute you can still get into the phone and use it without the passcode.

Please make the camera available on the single-click lock screen.

It just makes sense. People want the camera readily available. Having it on the double-click lock screen is good. Having it on the single-click lock screen is better.
It's that simple.
Also, double-clicking the home button is hit-or-miss at best. At worst, it just plain *****.
Please put the camera on the single-click lock screen.

Hi Dan,
this forum is for users. If you want to make a suggestion to apple you can write an email at http://www.apple.com/feedback/. In my opinion this settings makes sense since you would have a lot if unwanted pictures while carrying your iphone in your pockets

My camera app won't work, all the buttons are grey when I open the camera

when I open my camera, all the buttons are grey so that I can't take a picture, turn on flash, etc.
I can view my pictures taken but that's it.
have restarted it numerous times, no success.
thanks for your help.

Hello there, Johnmr88.
You might want to close out all apps first and foremost:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then it might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should that not resolve the issue.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the Camera app is still showing greyed out then you may want to try restoring the iPhone.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Morning alex navarro,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Hope this helps,
Mario

Just got a Canon G7 x only to find that lightroom 5 and PS6 don't support the camera RAW that it produces. Tried the Camera raw 8.7 and that didn't help. Will there be an update that includes this camera?

I'm sure there will be support for the camera eventually. But Adobe never announces that information in advance. It's possible that it could be added to the 8.7 final release and to the next update of Lightroom. But that depends on the timeline and if the engineers were able to get the camera in time to create profiles. You'll just have to wait and see.

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But wont work anywhere now

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Also, I want to sort my music in the way I used to with iTunes. How can I do this with just these two devices, i.e. NO Computer? Can the iCloud help?

You can change the email address of one's appleID...
I'd recommend changing moms email to yours to get a good backup on the Mac
Then switch mom's back to hers
Then change your account to the same email you used.
I've done something similar when I needed to update my Apple account (one ID changing email addresses and phone)

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.
