Digital Camera and my new iMAC 17inch

Hey guys, whats up? Anywayz, i wanted to purchase a new digital camera but i really cant decide. I have an intel core duo iMac 17inch and i was thinking somewhere around the Canon or Nikon (Not the professional but the compact one). I was thinking more of the Canon SD630 but i am really worried about the compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 (i have 10.4.6) and it says that Canon is conducting a compatibility test for mac os 10.4 and it for now its not comptible. So, any ideas or recommendations? Thanks.
Cheers,
Ash

I worried about compatability when buying a video iPod with camera adapter. Neither my camera (Panasonic FZ20) or my daughters Konica-Minolta Dimage X20 were listed on Apple's list of suported devices, but both work fine for transferring photos to the iPod. My camera works just fine with OS X 10.4.7 (I haven't tried yet, since updating to 10.4.8 today.) Either Image Capture or iPhoto (depending on which I have chosen to do so) will automatically recognize the camera and allow me to get the photos onto my Mac. These are fairly obscure camera models so I wouldn't worry too much about a more modern mainstream model. On the iPod compatabilty chart it listed one of the following as requirements. If your camera supports either of these you may be safe:
PTP
Type 4 (or Normal)
Mass Storage

Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad using the camera connector

Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad - i have a canon 400d and the new ipad.......

The camera connection kit accepts only SD camera memory cards.
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
Setting up home sharing

HT5219 can i connect my dv camera to my new imac via thunderbolt firewire adaptor

can i connect my dv camera to my new imac via thunderbolt firewire adaptor

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 just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to have a file open in its original file format. Right now my illustrator eps are opening in preview.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new Imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to change file to open in original program instead of preview?

Right-click on one of the files and choose 'get info'. in the info box. Change the 'open with' setting to your correct application. Check the 'always open with' option before OK-ing the change, then click the 'change all' button before closing the info window.

I am using migration assistant with my old MacBook and a new iMac but I'm just getting a swirling bar and spinning wheel. No signs of any progress after an hour. Drive is about 250 gbs.

The old MacBook says "the other mac is ready" and the new iMac says "successfully connected to other Mac. They are connected via Ethernet. Shouldn't there be some sort of indication of progress? It just looks like they're stuck.
Thanks!

You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
(By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X)

My video that was taken with a digital camera and imported into iPhoto plays back at a very fast speed. Any ideas why?

Is it a slow motion video? iPhoto does not understand the slow motion tags created by some cameras, eg.g. the iPhone back camera.

How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

You can use the camera connection kit.

If your camera has an SD card
or the lightening to USB for your videos

(might also work for your camera)
The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie

Digital Camera and Encryption

Hi,
We are using ESM 4.1. I have a policy for most staff that has Storage Removable Storage set to Read-Only (Data Encryption off) and another policy for management with Allow All Access for Removable Storage and Data Encryption on. This seems to be working very well...... however
I have just had a request a from manager who wants to take pictures from a digital camera and download them to her computer. This is usually done by staff so read-only setting is fine. However as a manager with Data Encrypion set to on, ESM wants to encypt the camera which isn't going to work. Is there a way around this?

Unfortunately the RSD encryption encrypts ALL storage devices when it is turned on. Product management is looking into adding a feature enhancement to provide greater control of what devices get encrypted but its not a current feature.

Digital camera and MBP

I just bought a new Canon Powershot S3 IS digital camera.
I haven't used it yet, just opened the box.
It comes with a CD, "Digital Camera Solutions" that they say
you need to install in order to be able to download pictures from camera to the computer.
My question is this: do I really need this program?
Or can iPhoto take care of downloading my pictures?
I don't really want to install something that I don't need.
Thanks!

Digital camera not recognised on iMac

Hi
Yesterday I connected my canon digital ixus camera to my iMac and copied over some photos, via usb, no problem. Today I am trying to do exactly the same but the camera is not seen at all. Nothing has changed, and I have used the same procedure as per many times before (plug it in and get on with it!), Indeed troubleshooting so far:
No new software loaded
Camera has been reset to factory settings
CF card is fine as seen through a card reader
USB cable fine as used with different device
Other external hard drive recognized as soon as plugged in
CF card formatted, and only one photo on it so no "time" issues loading over images.
Camera battery fully charged.
Frustrating (as would rather just be able to plug in camera and avoid card reader) and wondering if anyone else has had any issues with digital cameras (canon in particular) not being seen on Imac, anyone have any ideas or thoughts? Have I missed something glaringly obvious today?!!
Much appreciated i

Hi ynot704
Check iPhoto to see if the Canon's image shows up there. All of our other camera's (Olympus & Kodak) mount on the desktop plus open iPhoto. Our Canon opens, shows up and download to iPhoto just fine, but does not mount an image on the desktop or show up in disk utility.
It's not the iMac, look at this Google Search: [canon not mounting on imac desktop|http://www.google.com/custom?q=canon+not%20mounting%20on%20imac%20deskt op&sa=Search&client=pub-6263300333013957&forid=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof =GALT:%23008000;GL:1;DIV:%23336699;VLC:663399;AH:center;BGC:FFFFFF;LBGC:336699;A LC:0000FF;LC:0000FF;T:000000;GFNT:0000FF;GIMP:0000FF;FORID:1;&hl=en]

Ipod seen as a digital camera, and won't be recognized by Itunes.

Have: Ipod 2nd Generation (2.2.1), Windows Vista, Itunes Ver. 8.1
Problem: Alright here it is, my Ipod and my sister's is not being recognized by Itunes. It is however recognized by my computer as a digital camera. If I shutdown my computer and then plug in my Ipod while its off into the computer while its turning on its recognized. However, it won't sync saying "the ipod cannot be synced. the disk could not be read from or written to." Now it trys to sync but my Ipod doesn't have syncing on the screen. My Ipod though will be recognized by other computers.
Things I tried: All the steps on the apple page, please don't link me to the instructions again. I have uninstalled and installed Itunes soo mny times. Tried restoring it also, but couldn't finish the restore on my computer and had to use another one. Also I have tried plugging it in and out, using differant usb ports, pretty much everything with no success.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I know it is your first post so I'll offer a gentle reminder to start new problems as new posts and not hijack an existing thread. Your problem is different than the OP.
In your case, you need to disable the automatic camera notification. The help article how to that is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1857
The crashing part can be caused by an obsolete/incompatible driver on your PC. You will have to figure out how to update it so it doesn't crash or remove it entirely.

My iTouch is being recognized as a digital camera and cant take out my music from it.

i have an iphone and an ITouch and also a Ipod nano and and i just got a brand new computer cause my old 1 died. i still have music in my ipod iTouch and iPhone. i want to fill my new laptop with music. but since my iTouch and iPhone are both being read as a digital camera i can only take out photos from both. witch right now i dont care about the photos. my iPod nano on the other hand is being read as a storage device meaning i can take out the music out of the nano. i want to make it so i can also take out my misic from my iTouch and iPhone. in need of assistance. tried a bunch of methods but im tired of it. im im going to need professional help.

- It is normal and expected for the iPod to be seen as a camera
- What do you mean " when I put it in hard disk mode"? iPod touches do not have a disk mode.
- Does the iPod show in iTunes? If not try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
