Digital Camera Loading ?

Hi guys
I've Canon PowerShot G9 and whenever I connect it to my MacBook Pro iPhoto Pops up and you know the rest...
but what I want is to be able to copy/move/browse the files/pictures on my memory card. like when you connect your camera to Windows you get a drive in my computer but I don't anything in finder or on my desktop.
PS: I get the drive on my desktop and finder when I connect my USB Flash memory.
Thanks

I think you'll have to have a card reader to browse the files on the card. When I connect my Canon S3-IS with the USB cable directly, it does not appear as a hard drive on my Desktop. But, when I plug the SD card into my card reader, I can browse all the files.

Does anyone else find duplicate photos after loading on to macbook from a digital camera?

Hi there,
I've never noticed this before but whenever I load pictures from my digital camera two copies of the photo go into the "all images" folder in my finder. There is only one copy in iPhoto.
Does anyone know how to prevent this as it will just take up space?
thanks!

Hi, I know its no help, but i have just noticed the same thing... using daisydisk, i notticed my pictures take up just over twice the room on my Hdd than the size of my pictures folder. As this file is 110GB it would be nice to shrink it if possible.
So if anyone has any further help on this, it would be great....Cheers

Why Won't This Digital Camera Movie Load Into iPhoto

I shot 186 photos and 12 movies with my Canon digital camera this past week while my wife and I were on vacation. The photos and 11 movies (all about one minute or less) loaded just fine but my longest one (3 minutes which is the maximum for my digital camera) will not load. Is there a maximum time limit for digital camera movies that I have exceeded with iPhoto?

Hi David,
when you say "will not load" do you meant it won't open in Quicktime or it didn't download into iPhoto?
This is what I do;
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Why does my computer recognise my iPhone 4 as a digital camera? I can't load any audio files. Thanks

I recently bought an iPhone 4 and a month later the Apple Shop installed IOS 5. My contacts have all been backed up but I can't get the phone to load any audio files - no podcasts or music.
Thanks, Colin.

When there are photos/vidoes in the Camera Roll, the iPhone will also be recognized as a digital camera when connected to your computer.

I am unable to load photos from a digital camera

With a new version of iPhoto (9.2.3) just downloaded onto a MacBook Pro runnning 10.6.8, i cannot load photos from a digital camera - - its says loading but nothing happens even after an hour or so when the camera battery dies - It worked fine from an iphone but only after various repairs as suggested on other posts. I have carried out disk repairs and deleted plists. Can anyone help?

Terence
Thanks for your input
I was able to drag all the folders over and tried importing from desktop. This showed that the very first photo file was empty and iPhoto wouldn't recognise it. The rest transfered over again and I was able to clear content of the SD card
(BTW, surely iPhoto should say the file can't be imported rather than hanging up indefinitely, as an older version would have done. Whilst I am a Mac fan, it's taken me around 8 hours to get iphoto loading images, around 3 to get them off an iPhone 3G - with the old version this was never a problem)

Photos loading in wrong order, PASE 3.0 from digital camera

I have PASE 3.0 and a FinePix A303 digital camera. I took photos on a three day trip to the Outer Banks. When I loaded them to my computer I took advantage of the renaming feature and had each picture named "Nags Head 04-06" and then a sequential number. All the photos were imported perfectly except for one thing. They are completely our of order. I.E. picturees #1 - 12 were from April 16, the next few were from April 14, then some from April 15, then back to April 14, etc, etc. When I do a straight copy from the camera I get all the photos, named "DSCF0002.JPG" "DSCF0003.JPG" etc and they are in the correct date/time sequence. Does anyone have any idea why PASE 3.0 is shuffling the pics into some random order before uploading?
Thanks. Bob

I suspect that PSA SE just fetches the files off of the camera in the order the camera provides them. But I'm just guessing ...
Anyway, does it really matter what the filenames are? PSA SE will display them in date/time order for you. If you want to fix their names now, just select the images and use File/Rename.

Error loading iphone 3gs digital camera driver windows vista

I recently received an Iphone 3gs and it used to work when I would plug it in to my Win Vista pc. I know, I know. Vista isn't that bad. I digress. I can not get the digital camera to load anymore. I get the standard answer. Could not load software. I need a download to get this going. HELP!

Have you installed iTunes? The camera driver gets installed as part of the package.

Cannot load pictures from Fuji F10 digital camera onto OSX 10.5.2

I cannot load pictures from my fuji F10 digital camera. The Fuji support site does not appear to have any firmware that would allow compatibility between the two but was wondering if anyone has any ideas. I can't even bring them over using a zip drive because I get an error stating that the files are corrupt. any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

What brand of camera do you have? Perhaps you might take it up with the manufacturer, after all, they are the ones who decide whether to support mounting on the OS X Desktop.
Given the amount of pictures I take, constantly taking my card in and out of the camera puts wear and tear on it,
Using a USB Card Reader is a much better and safer way to transfer your photos:
1. Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
2. It saves the battery on your camera
3. It saves wear and tear on your camera ports - and replacing a worn USB port on a camera is somewhat more expensive than replacing a camera card - and what "wear and tear" is there on a card?
4. It’s almost always faster.

How do I get Adobe Lightroom to load when I attach my digital camera?

When I attach my digital camera, Preview loads automatically. How do I change that to load Adobe Lightroom?

Open iPhoto on your system, and then go to the General section of its preferences. In here you should see an option to set an application to open whenever a camera is connected. Select Lightroom from the drop-down list if it's available.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Ipod touch being recognized as a Digital Camera by PC

This is very bizarre.
I connected my ipod touch to my PC and it gets recognized as a Digital Camera. Windows reads it as, and I kid you not, Apple Ipod Digital Camera. Itunes doesn't recognize the device, but upon connecting my ipod touch to the PC the Cannon EOS photo utility starts up...ready and willing to import my pictures.
Strange as this is, it gets even more weird...
For some odd reason now I can not even go on to the apple site. I thought since my itunes isn't up to date to the latest version that maybe the problem so I proceeded to update itunes but now the apple site won't load. It was working fine the day before. I thought maybe the site was down (I have never known the apple site to be down) so I decided to ask a couple of online buddies to visit www.apple.com and they reported as the site loading and operating fine.
What gives???
I rechecked the minimum requirements and it states that I need xp service pack 2 and USB 2.0 to operate properly. I don't have sp2 installed on my XP, but my 30gig 5th generation ipod states the same requirements (The ipod touch is my 3rd ipod) and it works absolutely perfect each time on the same PC.
Why would my ipod touch have an identity crisis and why would it block it's parent site?
Help anyone? The customer service rep at the Apple store was completely baffled.

Check your iTunes version - although your 5th gen works with older iTunes versions, at least 7.4 is required for the IPT - older versions will not even recognize it.
As for the Apple site not working, there have been sporadic reports of that, no known reason, usually resolved in a few hours.
You could also try updating using Apple Software Update (usually found in Start > All Programs), or from within iTunes (Help menu > Check for Updates).
Hope this helps...

I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

Hello Karen,
If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders. Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs. Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

Whats the right Digital Camera to show video Clips on my new iMac OS X Lion

Hi, Can anybody tell me what Type or Model of Digital Camera (with Video Clip Facility) to purchase succesfully down loading on to my brand new iMac OS X Lion?? I'm new to Apple iMac, found out that my 2 year old Samsung camera when downloading Photos and video clips, only shows the photos but not the video clips in my iPhoto folder. the clips are just shown in a black blank square!! Please HELP...Thank You

Christa,
Have you tried using iMovie for your video clips? If you aren't familiar with iMovie here is a link to the iMovie tutorials. I would think your current camera should be just fine.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Digital Camera direct photo transfer to iPod?

I plan to take a trip where I will take lots of pictures. But I want to leave my PBG4-12" home this time; yet back-up my Kodak DX6440 Photos (on several SD Cards) while I am traveling-- to re-use the cards; but also for safety!!
I hear that there is some type of adapter to an iPod that will allow direct transfer of photos (perhaps not the .mov videos?!)-- If I purchase a new iPod with color screen and video etc.-- can I get an adapter and directly download photos? Where can I get more info on this?
THANKS! Mac since 1989-- maybe join my daughter with an iPod now in 2005? Steve

Stephen,
I had posted a similar question here regarding downloading video from my digital camera. No replies, so I went to the Apple store today with my Sony DSC-H1 with a short video and a few photos on it. Had it hooked up through the "camera connector" accessory to the new iPod and everything was successfully downloaded to the iPod. The photos can be viewed on the iPod but the video is not in a format recognized by the iPod, so you can't review the video but the stored video can then be loaded onto your Mac for editing, etc.
A 1 gig Memory Stick for my camera costs $125.00 CDN, so for the price of 4 I can get 60 gigs of storage. SOLD!
