Digital Camera compatability!

So far...I love the computer, it just won't acknowledge my Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera. The problem is that I am running a Logitech Wireless Keyboard & Mouse and every time I plug in the USB cable for the camera to download pictures onto the computer, it shuts off the unifying receiver for the mouse & keyboard. I've tried the receiver in every USB port on here and then try plugging in the camera's USB cord again...I get the same result. I've taken a few different flash drives and plugged those into different USB ports and there is no trouble at all with the receiver. I am currently using 2 of the ports...1 for my printer & the other for my external hard drive and those are recognized & visible on the C drive. So...to the best of my knowledge, there is no trouble with the USB ports themselves. I was told that it may be a signal interference issue and to try using a powered USB hub. The hub is recognized as when I plugged it in and checked it in device manager, it now shows 10 as opposed to 6 USB ports. The camera is 5 or 6 years old & the computer I previously ran it on was a Dell/Windows XP machine...never had any troubles there at all. My question is, is it a driver issue or is it not compatible with Windows 8.1 somehow? I checked Sony's website & it says that my model is but...I still have troubles. Is it time for a new camera? Any suggestions??

Hello Tommy,
I was curious when this happens, have you went into the windows Device Manager to see if there are any errors reported with those USB devices? If so, what are the errors?
If you don’t know what that is, I can try to explain how to navigate to it or you can just Google how to use Device Manager. Let me know
Also, when you plug the camera into the port, does anything automatically pop up asking what to do?
If so, perhaps turning off Auto Play for that media device will have an effect.
You can update the chipset drivers for your model computer, but I doubt it will have anything to do with this.

BTW: I noticed there is an RF remote control driver update for your system in that link also.
I wonder if you have such a driver installed already, if it turns off the mouse when a remote is plugged in? IF this is so, perhaps when you plug the Sony camera in it thinks the remote is plugged in instead, turning off the RF signal of the USB Dongle.
I could be wrong, it’s just a thought. IF I’m right, that might point back to turning off that feature in Auto Play settings I mentioned above or uninstalling that feature.
Finally…
Even though it feels annoying that this isn’t working the way it should, I never recommend anyone connect the camera via usb to transfer files. ALWAYS pull the sd card and insert it into the slot on your PC. Connecting the camera drains the battery unnecessarily and risks the chance of a malfunction that could corrupt the files.
The pros always use the card method for a reason so perhaps that should be a heads up.
It’s just a suggestion though, the choice is yours.
I hope this was helpful in some way.

Digital camera compatibility

I hope this is an appropriate forum. I know I have seen, somewhere on Apple's site, a list of cameras that are Mac compatible. I have been searching and searching and can't find it. This website can be very frustrating at times. Can someone point me to this list? Thanks!!

Hi Stephen,

Mac OS X 10.5: Digital camera RAW formats supported
Mac OS X Compatibility List
Personally, I've used an Olympus digital camera for years on 3 different Macs without any problems at all.
Just make sure when you purchase the camera that you read the "minimum requirements" to be used on a Mac. LIke... Tiger or Leoaprd.

Digital camera compatibility with MAC OS9.x

Some of the new digicams claim to be compatible only with versions of OS 10.x. Does this imply that pics cannot be downloaded and read properly in OS9.x, if read from a camera card thru a [compatible] card reader? Assume it means the downloadable software that comes with the digicam is incompatible with OS9.x, but is that really important for downloading from a card reader, working with [Photoshop], printing etc? I know Canon's new digicams, for example, are not OS9.x compatible according to Canon, and I'm sure there are others.
I hesitate to go the new OS10.4 route as my logitech webcam is only compatible up to 9.2.1 and some versions of 10.2 and 10.3, I believe. Not sure about my Microtech i700 scanner compatibility either. I've still got 8-9GB space avail on my G4 cube, but know photos can sure eat that up fast.

James,
USB card reader (or PCMCIA card adapter for laptop users). Best things I ever, EVER bought.
Trying to get the pictures off the card whilst in the camera, is slow and eats camera batteries - I can't get all the pictures off a 1Gb or 4Gb card over the USB connection, whilst the card is in the camera, without the batteries running out (so I use PCMCIA for big cards).
Stick with OS9.2.1 if you want. You can also go fishing for OS9 compatible software on all the camera manufacturers websites, Kodak still supply OS8 & OS9 stuff - of course, the licence agreement says you have to have a Kodak camera to use the stuff. But check all manufacturers.
When in OS9 I still use their (Kodak) software - 8 years old now - even with my newest cameras (strangely, same with the battery charger, the 8yo Kodak charger is 10x better than the Olympus, Minolta and Nikon efforts I've picked up in that time).
Let us know if you find anything good.

Best Digital Camera For Macbook

Hi,
I want to know whats the best digital cameras that support the Macbook and is under $300?

There's little reason to worry about digital camera compatibility with the MacBook. If the camera uses compact flash or any of the other multitude of memory card media available today the additional purchase of a memory card reader makes any camera compatible even if it doesn't play nice when connecting the camera to the computer directly. (I hate doing this anyway because it uses up the battery)
Everyone has their own favorite camera manufacturer. Once upon a time I was a Kodak color film fan because their film had superior skin tones and color saturation. But then Fuji Film pushed ahead. Digital cameras don't use film obviously, but each camera has its own color rendering qualities. I particularly like Canon and Fuji cameras for their color accuracy. Kodak's are pretty good too but in low light situations tend to have more noise than others and greys tend to be washed out. (Yep, I'm a camera buff.)
If you intend to take action shots look for cameras with low shutter lag, which tends to be a big problem with digital cameras. A couple summers ago my wife took lots of pictures of where the whales were just a second ago.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 and later can not be installed on OSX 10.6.8.

Hi
I bought a new Canon EOS 5D mark 3 and noticed that my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 can not handle the new raw files.
Searching google shown that I need Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 or later.
So I tried with 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14, but all failed during installation with error: "Dieses Update unterstützt nur Aperture 3 und iPhoto 9."
Hmmm
Checking iPhoto ...
About IPHOT shows "Iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)"
So I've updated Iphoto with version 9.2.1 (which I found matching my OSX after stepping down from highest version down ..... Apple is here not really supporting users here .......)
Unfortunately this is only an update.
So I need to install first a newer Iphoto version.
Iphoto 11 I can buy in the app store, but I can not install it on OS/X 10.6.8 .....
Lost!
How do I get my raw files of 5Dm3 visible in OSX 10.6.8 ???????
Any help welcome
Thx
Wolfgang

I maintain up to date my system, yet I have from time to time when I take RAW picture issues in iPhoto not reading them. Today, looking for another issue I came across this update and I was hopping it would resolve my issues with the RAW photos from my Pentax K-30.
The error:
Installer quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the app again. Click Report to see more detail information and send to Apple.

This laptop cannot be upgraded further without hindering its performance. Hence, I need to keep the version of iPhoto that I currently have.
Thank you for your response.

Canon EOS 100D is listed as compatible in Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.01 but when I connect my camera a message appears telling it's not compatible with the operating system?

Canon EOS 100D is listed as compatible in Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.01 and when I have checked for software updates there are none available. I've downloaded the Canon software, connected to my mac via the cable and followed the instructions in the manual. Sadly I just get a message saying it's not compatible with the operating system. I've tried inserting the memory card into the mac to and it doesn't seem to see it. Can anyone help please?

Camera RAW ≠ Camera driver, the RAW update is for the .CR2 canon raw image file (in your case) compatibility.
What happens when you try to import photos using Image Capture or iPhoto?
Can you take a screenshot of the error message?
I always prefer and recommend using memory card import over using the camera.

Now available: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.0.6

          Canon EOS-1D C
          Canon EOS Rebel SL1 / 100D / Kiss X7
          Canon EOS Rebel T5i / 700D / Kiss X7i

Nah. There will be a new camera announced in the next week and it will again be a crisis that Apple is not professional because they take more than 4 days to support a new camera
What about a camera released a year ago? Should I get at least a bit upset fo the lack of support? Hope wit will come out soon.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01 for Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11

Those of you who have already imported "unsupported" photos into Aperture (i.e. Nikon D600) photos, simply choose Photos->Reprocess Original after installing this update (and restarting Aperture), and the photo will then show up.
Aperture Expert has a little summary too:
http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2012/10/24/digital-camera-raw-compatibility-u pdate-401-for-aperture-3-a.html

I cannot fathom why a RAW update is not compatible with all versions of Aperture 3. This is forced redundancy in my opinion. Not happy...
I understand that this is annoying for you, but it is part of the redesign of MacOS to make it more efficient and not to waste disk space on redundant installations.
The recent raw update - as I see it - is an update to Mac OS X 10.8.x, not to Aperture. Since Mac OS X Lion Apple has started to migrate the raw support directly to the OS, so they do not need to install the raw support as update to many different applications. I have not checked yet - is this update included in Lion as well? I sincerely hope so.
Send feedback to Apple that you need this upgraded raw support also available in Snow Leopard.

Problem with Aperture 2 and Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1

Has anyone using Aperture 2 experienced problems with the Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1. It may be purely coincidence but, since downloading this on March 3, I get the dreaded red screen and unsupported image format on my previously downloaded and edited RAW photos. I use a Pentax k-7 with which, once set up, I have had no problems until now!
Please - any help would be very gratefully received

That probably explains why any checks that your computer did to see if the Camera Raw update was okay to apply didn't stop it. You should probably contact Apple and explain that they broke something that was working fine previously.
A few people have reported backing off Camera Raw 3.1 and going back to Camera Raw 3.0 for now. This note is one of the ones I've found describing how to do that, if you wish to try that. Or, you could head down the path Apple means to lead you on and upgrade to Aperture 3.

Camera not in list for Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.11

Do I need this update if my camera isn't in the list of supported cameras?

45 views and no replies? Isn't there anyone that can answer if I need this update or not or is my question not clear? Does anyone else have a similar question relating to the Digital Camera Raw compatibility update 3.11?

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6, Nikon NEF, ICloud & QuickView issue

Since a few weeks (maybe more) it appeared to me that my Nikon D7000 Raw Files went as plain black pictures on my IOS devices (Iphone or Apple TV running latests IOS releases).
Summary of the situation
Camera to Aperture => Fine
Aperture to ICloud photostream => ko
After some tests based on the discussion bellow
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
it came clear to me that the key issue is related to Digital Camera Raw Update Compatibility Update 6. I made some tests using QuickView, iMessage & Aperture :
Test 1 : uninstall Digital Camera Raw Update Compatibility 6 and install version 5.07
Aperture => non supported format
QuickView (space bar) on NEF file => fine
Sent to my IPhone using IMessage => fine
Test 2 : reinstall 6.0.3
Aperture => fine
QuickView => plain black (after a time, I think QuickView is using first the camera preview before decoding RAW data)
Sent to my IPhone using IMessage => plain black
Did someone experienced the same ? Any solution ???
Kind regards,
Jé

Dear Torreypines,,
thanks for your reply. However I quoted the discussion "RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)" to illustrate my test method (uninstall and install an older Digital Camera Raw Update Compatibility).
I do run the latests Aperture Update (updated directly from the Mac App Store).
To illustrate, here is a screenshot of an IMessage discussion.
Action : drag and drop a Nikon D7000 NEF file to the discussion and send it to an IPhone
- Test 1 : Yosemite, Aperture, Digital Camera Raw... up to date => plain black
- Test 2 : Older (5.07) Digital Camera Raw => picture ok (unfortunately, Aperture ko)
This illustrate also what appends into ICloud. All NEF files uploaded since a few weeks are plain black into photostream on IOS Devices (Iphone and Apple TV).
Kind regards,
Jérôme

How can "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility" 4.06 be removed so that 4.05 can be installed first?

App Store currently shows "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility" 4.05 as an update. When attempting to update the following dialog box appears stating "An error has occured - The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)(-1012)
After searching found that the pkg files can be installed, However when trying to install 4.05 from a pkg file get the following dialog.
Any ideas?
Is it possible to erase 4.06, then install both 4.05 & 4.06?
many thanks
John

after trying to install 4.05 via a pkg get a dialog stating "Alert - A newer version of Digital Camera RAW support is already installe on your system"... Hence the question about removing 4.06.
Is there a version of the Digital Camera RAW that contains all updates, like a combo?

How do I reboot my MacBook Air? It says software is being installed; digital camera RAW compatibility and safari

I am trying to get rid of this "Installation Alert" window. I tried to force quit all and reboot, but it says "Your computer can't be restarted now, because software is being installed." Below that it says "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update and Safari are being installed. Interrupting the install Amy damage your computer. You can restart when the install is complete". It has a progress bar below showing it being 80% complete, but it just hangs there. Now safari is going crazy.

Then try holding down the Power button for 5-10 seconds until your computer shuts down. Wait one minute then:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Is Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.06 Affecting My Drivers?

After installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.06 and booted in windows 7, I can hear the windows startup sound but there is no display. After rebooting using the last good know config, I was able to login into windows but my ethernet and bluetooth are not working. In the device manager,
Ethernet and bluetooth device status: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

Maybe. I don't know. I was able to use my ethernet before the update. After the update, I am facing these driver issues. My ethernet adapter cannot be found in the list of network connections.

Digital Camera compatability!
