Digital Camera Canon EOS D40 and Ixus 990

Hello,
My two Canon Cameras don't appear as an external drive in the finder when i connect it via USB to my 27" iMac. But the Cameras are shown in iPhoto and Aperture.
How can i make the cameras appear in the finder as an external drive?
Thanks

You can't.
This is a "feature" of Canon Brand cameras.
The only thing you can do is pop the cards from the cameras into a USB Card Reader.
Regards

I have done a course in photography with my canon eos 1000D and have taught me to handle the raw camera

I have done a course in photography with my canon eos 1000D and have taught me to handle the raw camera , but not to install and funciione with .cr2 photos. I downloaded the trial version of photoshop cs2 and installed the latest camera raw ( 8.7) and even so will not let me open it. I tried to update photoshop with updates and has not served .

Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of Photoshop. DNG is just like CR2 with no loss of quality. (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I am unable to download my picture from my camera canon eos 70d to my computer.

I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD MY PICTURE FROM CAMERA CANON EOS 70D TO MY COMPUTER. I HAVE INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FROM CANON EOS SOLUTION DISK 28.2.

"...The question then came up whether repeated removal/insertion of the card (in the computer and camera) might eventually wear out the contacts on the card, or worse the camera..."
Yes, there will be wear and tear over time. It also is possible to force a card into the slot crooked and damage the socket.
Are these much of an issue?
In my opinion, no. I change memory cards fairly frequently (mostly Compact Flash, which are probably the most easily damaged), sometimes use 12 or 15 memory cards in a day's shoot and have been doing that shooting digitally for ten years... And have never had even one card wear out or managed to damage a card or socket myself.
Note: I have pulled a card out too quickly, while it was still writing, and lost about 1/3 of the images on the card... Once! I also have had one "bad card" right from new, from a major manufacturer. Three other identical cards are working fine.
I do have one older DSLR with a "bent pin" in the Compact Flash socket.... But I bought it that way for $15 in hopes of fixing it. Unfortunately I think the particular pin that got bent managed to short out some of the other electronics in the camera, so it's probably not practical to fix (makes a nice paperweight). I've seen other cameras, particularly those using Compact Flash memory, with bent pins. Some were pretty easily fixed. Others needed a new socket or more.
Just looking at the posts on various discussion forums, I suspect it's a much more frequent issue for the USB cable or the USB socket in the camera to wear or get damaged. Plus camera batteries are only good for a certain number of charge/discharge cycles (I've heard 400X is typical, but don't really know).
So personally I'd be more concerned about directly linking the camera with the USB cable and leaving the camera powered on while downloading.... Feel better just pulling the memory card and using a card reader.

Ik kan in Bridge mijn foto's via photodownloader niet openen omdat RAW bestand van camera (Canon EOS 650D) niet ondersteund wordt, ook niet na updates?

Beste,
Ik heb Photoshop CS6, maar blijkbaar wordt mijn camera Canon EOS D650 niet ondersteund.

I can't download pictures from my camera ( Canon EOS 1100D).

Hi
I can't download pictures from my camera ( CANON EOS 1100D) on my Macbook Pro.
I can download pictures on other computers so it's not a cable problem. I can connect memory sticks to the Mac, so it is not a USB port problem.
I did install the software provided by Canon (after I tried to download pictures and noticed it does not work). Why doesn't my macbook pro recognise my camera ? Thanks. Leacoulet

The prompt won't appear if the photos were originally synced from a computer, if they were taken with the iPhone then there are instructions on this page for how to disable/enable the prompt (the page is specifally about disabling the prompt, but it's the same process to enable it).

Canon EOS 60D and Log and Transfer in FCP

I just got my Canon 60D and tried to transfer video from it to FCP but the Canon FCP EOS Plugin did not see the files. I had the SD card in a card reader and even tried the hack for the Rebel, but none worked.
Then I came across a forum that mentioned the Canon EOS Plugin on the Canon European website saying it worked for them. I down loaded it and it did work.
Here's the link to the Canon EOS FCP Plugin that works for theEOS 60D
http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0039308.asp
And unlike the American Canon website it does mention that it works with the 60D
Hope this helps someone else.

I can think of 2 things to check.

I am getting error 99 on my camera - Canon EOS Rebel XSi

This camera is used for the past 4 years. Never faced any isses. Suddently started getting the error 99, "Shooting not possible. Turn the power switch to <OFF> and <ON> again or re-install the battery".
the following are tried:
Removed the battery, fully charged it again
Changed the SD Card
Changed the Lens
Removed the battery, lens and SD card and kept the camera idle for 20 minutes just clicked with out SD card.
No changes.
these I did not try
Change the battery pack to see if it helps, no back up battery with me
Did not update the firmware since I bought the camera in 2009. I do no know if it is available for my model.
Any help/suggestions are welcome!!
regards
Anil Krishnan

I agree... the first thing you should try is a fresh battery. A four year old battery might be on it's last legs (probably depends upon how many times it's been recharged.... and how deeply it was discharged in between charges).
If possible, it would be good to also try a different charger. Sometimes they go bad.
Does your camera have a separate replaceable date/time battery? If so, it might be a good idea to replace that, too. Those types of batteries usually have roughly a five year lifespan.
Wouldn't hurt to update the firmware. If' it's never been done, very likely there is a newer version. Even if it's not an update, it might be a good idea to reinstall it.
HOWEVER, before you attempt to install a firmware update, you must have a reliable, fully charged battery. You don't want to have a camera shut down halfway through a firmware installation. That's almost guaranteed to "brick" the camera. So sort out the battery first, to be certain you don't have problems there.
The reason for replacing the firmware is it might have become corrupted. It's essentially an operating system for the camera, which is essentially a computer... and "stuff" happens, as we all know, to computer operating systems! Sometimes a reinstall or update will correct problems in the software.
Canon's and ebiggs instructions above about "rebooting" the camera are a good idea too. In fact that's the first thing I'd try, since you don't need anything to do it. The reason you "reboot" is to clear any lost data strings from the memory, that might be interfering with the camera's operation. Again, it's a lot like a computer.
A little more about rebooting the camera... If your camera has a date/time battery, in addition to the main, rechargeable... remove both of them. Rather than letting the camera sit, another method is to turn the camera on without any batteries, and press the shutter release button once. It won't fire, of course. But this should drain any remaining charge from the circuit immediately and is faster than waiting for the residual charge to drain off slowly.
Once you have done this (or let the camera sit for 20 minutes or several hours without the battery), go into the menu and see if the date/time needs to be reset. If so, you got a proper reboot.... If not, try again.
In addition to trying a different memory card, always formatted in the camera, also inspect the slot the card fits into carefully. Look at it with a flash light, to see if anything looks damaged, shorted out or if there is any obstruction. Probably not something you can fix yourself, if there is a problem.
I agree about cleaning the lens to camera contacts. I use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on a clean, lint free cloth. That's to remove any oils (finger oils, or lubricating oils from inside the lens or camera). Just keep off the mirror in the camera and the lens optics.
You also might use the same to clean the battery contacts both on the battery and on the charger (unplug it) and inside the camera. Wipe down the date/time battery, too.
None of the above is certain to fix the problem, but all are fairly easy and free or relatively inexpensive to try.
If none of the above works, then send the camera in to Canon and have it checked.

I have a Canon EOS 70D and Photoshop CS5. I have already downloaded the DNG converter 8.2.

I still can't see my RAW files. Please help!!!

You've posted to the Photoshop Elements forum, which is a different product to Photoshop CS5 but, for this question, the same answer will apply.
As you probably know support for the 70D was added to ACR 8.2 which requires CS6 or CC. But the DNG Converter can convert the files to to the Adobe RAW DNG format that CS5 can then open. However installing the converter does NOT give CS5 the ability to open the 70D RAW files directly. After installation you have to run the converter and point it at your 70D files where it will convert them to new .dng files that will then open in CS5 Camera RAW. The .cr2 files will never open directly in CS5.
Cheers,
Neale

Ipad2 can not recognize Canon digital camera EOS?

Dear Sir
I connect my digital camera, Canon EOS to Ipad 2 through camera USB kits, and message shows " Cannot USE Device The connected USB device is not supported" on iPad 2 screen. Is it a known issue? I thought the camera kits should be good for all type of digital camera. Any suggestion? Thank you

Yu Chun-
The first article Allan provided includes a note about the format of the card in your camera. If the card was not formatted in the camera, an error message like yours might be generated.
I have an EOS camera that appears to be compatible with the iPad's Camera Connection Kit. I also have another Canon, two Sonys, a Pentax and an old Olympus camera. So far, all appear to be compatible.
If Allan's links don't provide a solution, your best bet may be to use a Compact Flash - to - USB adapter with the Camera Connection Kit. I have one that works, but also have a "universal" multi-card adapter that draws too much current. To use it, I have to connect it through a powered USB hub.

Canon eos 6d: dark images

Hi,
I was shooting in manual with my camera (canon eos 6d) and a friend was shooting the same subject at the same time on the same settings as me (iso, shutter speed and aperture), but her images appeared much brighter on her viewfinder - any ideas why?
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your help!

When you look through the viewfinder, you see the image through the widest aperture of which the lens is capable; and the wider the aperture, the brighter the image. If your friend was using a lens with a wider maximum aperture, her images would appear brighter. The settings at which the picture will actually be taken have no effect on this.

My canon sd 630 and printer ip 1600 do not appear on my computer

My digital camera canon sd 630 and printer ip 1600 do not appear on my computer anymore. They worked fine before and lately they don't work. It's not the cables because my ipods and other USB peripherals (flash drives, scanner) work just fine.
Also, I have a MacBook Pro with the same version of iphoto (6.0.6) and the same Mac OS X (10.4.9) and they work fine with with the MacBook!
Has anyone had this problem before? Can anyone help? Thanks!

LeoF:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. With the camera connected and the printer turned on are either recognized by the System Profiler?
Try the following;
1 - run OnyX and clean out the user caches and run the maintenance scripts.
2 - download and run the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility.
3 - remove the printer driver with Print Center Utility and then reinstall.

Computer does not detect my digital camera

I have a Panasonic digital camera and when I plug it into my mac via firewire cable, the image capture says that no devices are detected.
I plugged in my digital camera (Canon Powershot A60) and it was fine.
Help!
It is important that that I have the ability to put video clips into my computer.

Ditto to Deborah, you should try another FW device, like an iPod for example (one who can connect trough FW, that is).
Now, I don't think the Image Capture is able to capture video from a digital videocamera. I think it must be done trough iMovie or QT. In the case of a camcorder, most certainly trough iMovie.
I've been searching the iBook PDF manual and found that when the iBook "senses" a FireWire device for wich it has not a driver, it prompts you to install it or to download it from the internet. So if nothing happens when you connect your DV camera to the FW port, it may be because it is broken.
What is broken?, you ask, one of three things (or the three of them): The FW port in the iBook, the FW cable, or the FW port in the camera. Therefore, you need to check your iBook with another FW peripheral, try another cable, and try your camera with another computer....
