Dates wrong in RAW files imported from Canon Rebel

I recently imported a large number of pictures from my Canon Rebel via my iPod into iPhoto 6.02. There were a mix of JPEG and RAW files, the dates & times for the JPEGs were fine, the RAW files were wrong, some back at Dec 31 1970, others were 21 hours earlier than the JPEG files.
The date and time on the camera were correct and still are.
The same photos look OK in Adobe Elements 4.0, though I can see the same bad dates in part of the EXIF data reported by Adobe. Adobe shows me several versions of dates though and others are correct.
Anyone seen this, know what's wrong?

I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

Can I "cache" large RAW files imported from network drive on local drive?

I've seen discussions similar to this topic, regarding "offline" editing, but not exact answers I'm looking for.
I'm copying RAW files from a shoot onto my network RAID drive in a per-album folder, from where I then import into a new LR catalog (I'm using LR 4.1) on my Windows laptop for that album.
I'm finding that editing RAW files on a network drive from a wireless laptop is awfully slow (not to mention not being able to continue the work offline somewhere else), so I'd like to cache those files on my speedy SSD drive just until I'm done editing and exporting/publishing that album.
I back up my per-album catalog onto the network folder alongside the RAW files since that's my IT-managed master repository. When I'm done editing, I'd purge the cached files and just keep the catalog previews on my limited capacity SSD.
So, is there a way to tell LR to, for one/all files imported from a location (in my case a network folder), look in an alternate location for the identical files? Since I create per-album catalogs in per-album folders, there wouldn't be filename clashing. Either LR can provide this caching behavior on its own or I'd manually copy files from the network folder to a local folder and tell LR to look there first.
I don't really want to make copies of files into secondary folders within LR since then it's a hassle to merge edits on the cached copy to its master copy (I haven't done this, but I'd imagine so).
Thanks for your workflow tips.

Have you tried locating your ACR Raw cache on this SSD drive, also ensuring that the size limit of this cache is large enough, to keep a goodly chunk of these Raw images all in play at the same time?
My understanding is that for performance reasons, LR will be caching your Raw data locally in any case - on conventional hard disk by default. And it will be doing so in an intermediate half-converted form (demosaiced into "sensor RGB space" but not translated into "picture RGB values" - the latter process varies depending on your live Develop adjustments).
So long as this cache has not run short, and reallocated space for something else, LR should (as far as I know) not be needing to go back to the network drive to re-fetch actual Raw content. And keeping that cache somewhere fast rather than somewhere slow, should improve responsiveness.
I imagine, though, that LR will continually check the availability and the unchanged timestamp of the real source file; and wouldn't let you carry on working from automatically cached data otherwise.

Lightroom 4 RC2 won't upload raw files direct from Canon 5d mkiii camera

I can upload to DPP and then transfer the files into Lightroom but when I try and upload directly Lightroom just says, "Files not Uploaded not recognised" and I get an option to save or cancel. Why?, with LR3 raw files from my old camera uploaded just fine, whats going on.

You have a new camera, it is not yet supported in ACR or Lightroom. Most likely it will be supported in the LR4.1 proper, but not yet.
I assume your old camera is a 5DII, that is supported as its an older model.
If you want to use LR4.1RCx and your Canon 5DIII, you will need to convert from CR2 to DNG with the Adobe DNG Converter
link to the download
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html and scroll down a screen or so to find the links for MAC or PC depending on your software.
This will work til Lightroom natively imports Canon 5DIII RAW images

Can't import from Canon Rebel into Yosemite iPhoto.

Updated to Yosemite 10.10, iPhoto 9.6, which recognizes my Canon Rebel T5i and shows a video but won't import because "there's a problem downloading" which tells me nothing. Any ideas?

I had posted this issue in multiple spots so I'll answer in general and paste everywhere for others to learn what's taken me hours to figure out. I've spent nearly a work day dealing with his issue, needed the video for a work project. Anyway, short answer to a known problem, call Canon (or your camera manufacturer).
Turned out my video wasn't corrupt. I had to take the card out of the camera and insert into Mac's SD slot (which is a card reader so you could go the USB card reader route) and imported directly into iMovie. Downloading into iPhoto, Image Capture and even dragging onto my Desktop still wouldn't work for some unknown reason (probably related to my old laptop) but I was able to finally import the video as a .mov file directly from the card.
For newer Canon cameras, there is no communication setting of Normal and PTP in the menu settings as both the Canon rep and another commenter reported. The Canon rep said they are updating their utility to Yosemite OS 10.10, that it wouldn't take 6 months but he couldn't commit a timeframe. You don't need the camera software anyway if you're tethering and importing into iPhoto.
Seems the easiest solution is inserting card into computer SD slot or using a USB tethered card reader. Hope this helps save others some aggravation although I've learned my lesson about early adoption and "upgrading" to new Apple OS. If it ain't broke.....wait, then wait some more.

Issues importing from Canon Rebel T3i after upgrading to Mavericks and Lightroom 5

Hi there,
I just upgraded to Mavericks and Lightroom 5 on a 2008 Macbook Pro.
LR5 is working fine on my photos that have already been imported. However, when I plug in my camera to import new files (RAW and JPEG), the camera does not even mount - aka. does not show up as a possible source at all. I have tried turning off and on, restarting, and using the old LR4 to see if that would solve the problem, but it did not. I also tried importing from the EOS Utility, but that does not recognize the camera as a possible source either. Please HELP!

No import from Canon Rebel XT camera to iPhoto

iPhoto 6 fails to import from my Canon Rebel XT. Nothing happens. I've tried every suggestion I can find on the Apple and Canon sites, and I'm stymied. Canon's said to reinstall their Solution Disk, so I did that. Also needed a EOS Utility upgrade download. The battery in my camera is fully charged. I've followed all the directions I can find! I'm not particularly computer literate--maybe you can tell. I thought this would be easy, but I've spent half a day on it already!

Is the camera set to 'PC connection' in the last (5th) menu in the camera settings. That should do the trick. Another option is to get an inexpensive USB 2.0 card reader. That will work really well also and import the images much faster. Then you just remove the card and put it in the reader when you want to download your images.

IPhoto 09 can't import RAW file (.CR2) from Canon G10 Camera

Every time I try to import a RAW image on my G10 camera (the file extension is .CR2) into iPhoto, the program says that the file is in an unrecognized format. Yet the OS and I believe iPhoto supports RAW from the Canon G10. I have updated my software. Does anyone know why I cannot import this file?

Since the G10 support came with the 10.5.7 update download and reapply 10.5.7 COMBO Update again followed by a repair of disk permissions. See if that will jump start the import.

I cannot open RAW files imported from my Panasonic TZ60 camera. I have downloaded RAW plug-in 8.4. It appears on my download list but PS 11 tells me I still have version 7.4. Help please!

I have downloaded RAW plug-in 8.4 and it now appears on my download list, but PS11 tells me I have version 7.4. This probably is why I can't open the file. Any ideas?

Can't blame you for being confused between Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements, but you're asking in the wrong forum.

Raw file import from Olympus E410

how do I import an .ORF file from my Olympus E410? Is their a plugin I can get?

No, like ACR you have to wait for a new release with new camera upgrades. Does the camera do DNG? if so use that for now. Or use the camera maker's software to get to DNG if you can.

Lightroom 1.4.1 won't read RAW or RAW+JPEG from Canon Rebel Xsi

I use Windows. I started with LIghtroom 1. Technical support said Lightroom 1.4.1 update would let allow me to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files from Canon Rebel Xsi into Lightroom. I downloaded the update. Lightroom still will not recognize RAW or JPEG+RAW photos taken with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Lightroom will read straight JPEG photos taken with this camera. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this (e.g. be able to import RAW and RAW+JPEG files)? Sorry if there is a simple thing to fix to this or if I could have found the solution somewhere else on this site. I am a Lightroom novice and have been struggling with this issue for some time now. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks everyone for all your help! I am now able to import the RAW files. Steve and Don especially thanks so much! I am posting my solution in case someone out there has had the same problem.
In the past, using the prompt generated from within LR, I downloaded the update and ran the install. However using Don's information I realized the splash screen indicated 1.1 and the number did not match the build # provided by Don.
Based on this information, I went to the Adobe site, reran the download via the Adobe site (not LR) and reran the install. Of note, this install process gave different screens from when I ran install from the files downloaded accessed via the LR prompt. The biggest difference is that this time I got Adobe directions for how to execute the update. I next confirmed that I had the update files on the hard drive, opened the file as directed by Adobe and the install updated. However I was still getting the LR 1.1 splash screen.
Based on information posted elsewhere, I determined that I needed to delete the LR icon from my desktop. I moved "LR 1.4.1" from the start menu to the desktop. I now launch LR 1.4.1 when I hit the LR icon and I have successfully downloaded a boatload of RAW files. Thanks All! You are geniuses!

Importing for Canon Rebel XT RAW images fails

I have a rather odd problem. Both iPhoto and Aperture choke on RAW images I try to import from my Rebel Canon XT. It worked fine until a week or so ago when it suddenly broke.
It is NOT the camera as iPhoto on my Powerbook can still import those images just fine.
In iPhoto on the Powermac the import feature simply hangs.
In Aperture it does import the files but then spews out an error message telling me that it can't do anything with the "unsupported file format".
The files themselves are fine, when I import them first into iPhoto on the Powerbook, then export the RAW images and import them from the file system it works.
Anybody encountered this? What strikes me as odd is that both Aperture AND iPhoto have this problem, so does Lightroom Beta btw.

Michael:
Did you run any updates shortly before this started happening? What system version are you at?
Do you Twango?

Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the Canon Sureshot S95

Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
Canon Sureshot S95.
Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

(1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW. Hardly a satisfactory solution.
(I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ).
(2) SUGGESTION- even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting). I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs. So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
JJ
* (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

Canon Raw File Transfer using Canon 7D / Lion / Aperture 3.2

Is anyone finding issues in unloading raw files with a Canon camera and the latest software? I have been doing this successfully for some time using Aperture 3.1 with Snow Leopard. I use a 13" MBP with 8GB of memory and a huge hard drive. I upgraded to Lion and Aperture 3.2 and find that my Canon 7D doesn't transfer all of my pictures off of the camera. The camera is connected via the USB cable that plugs directly into the camera. I have found a workaround by re-importing off the camera and selecting the option to not download previously imported pictures. Depending on the number of photos, I may have to do it up to 10 times to get all the pictures. I have the latest Canon 7D firmware. I'm able to successfully do this using Canon Utilities running on Lion. Ironically, this same issue happens when I import into Aperture from the camera or from the hard drive. After importing onto my hard drive using Canon software and getting all the pictures in one try, I then tried to import from the hard drive into Aperture but faced the same issue. I think I have this isolated to an Aperture 3.2 issue with Lion and Canon 7D raw images. I also thought that it might be due to lack of battery life on the camera or with large photo shoots. Nope. It happens as well with a small number of photos and a healthy battery.
Is anyone else running into this issue? Thanks.

The Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9:

supports Powershot S100, try to download and install this update.

When importing from Canon XL2, audio is delayed by 5 seconds

When I import from Canon XL2, the audio track is there, but it is off by a few seconds. At first it was only about 1 or 2 seconds, but when I re-imported it got worse. It's fine when I import through iMovie, but I lose my multiple audio tracks.
I know I can re align on the timeline, but that's not the point!
Thanks for help

You may have nearly filled up your hard disc.
1 hour of DV is about 13GB. Trying to capture a 2nd hour would take you up to about 26GB of space used up on your hard disc.
It's better to capture to an internal disc, or to a FireWire-connected external disc, as USB - even USB 2.0 - can't necessarily keep up with the constantly sustained data throughput speeds which DV needs.
A Mac needs about 10% of your total hard disc space to be empty, to allow for its internal 'housekeeping', log files, virtual memory files, etc. So if you have an 80GB internal disc, with, say, 13GB of operating system & programs, plus, say, 20GB of pictures, plus, say, 13GB of documents, and you add 13GB (1 hour's worth) of video, that's 59GB, and you'll need about 8GB of free space, that's 67GB accounted for, leaving about 13GB empty for your 2nd hour.
But that spare 13GB of spare space may be scattered around the disc, and not all in one sequential region, which may be why you're getting stuttering.
Not only that, but there may be 'dropouts' on the tape (brief signal disappearance) which may not show on the camcorder (..because many camcorders substitute a previous frame of video for any damaged frame..) but may only show up when you try importing. This may happen if, for instance, you recorded at a slower than normal speed, e.g; LP speed instead of Standard Play speed.
So check, first, how much empty space you have on your internal disc, and see if your external disc can be attached by FireWire, instead of the - what's becoming almost ubiquitous - USB connection.
