Digital camera won't load...

Not sure if I am in correct forum...but I'll give this a go. I have a Mac OS X 10.6.3 that I purchased last week and today I tried loading pictures from my camera, but nothing pops up on the Desktop or anything stating I have photos. I've tried using iPhoto as well..but nothing. I have a Canon Rebel xSi and I don't know if it's compatible. Any help would be appreciate please.

Canon cameras work fine with Macs. I have several and mine are set up to work with Image Capture and an SD card reader rather than a direct camera connection. You first need to set up how and where you want to upload your pics. If you use iPhoto, go to iPhoto Preferences and under General, make sure that "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to iPhoto. Then connect your camera, turn it on, set it to view pictures rather than shoot pictures, and iPhoto should then open and upload your shots.
Again I don't use iPhoto for that but use Image Capture with a card reader instead so my setup is different.
Anyway, see if that works, remembering to turn on the camera and set the switches on it to whatever you do to view the shots you took.

  • IPad mini camera won't load, what's wrong?

    I click my camera button and the camera won't load. It's hard to describe, but just the lense-like black shutters show

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    Then try the camera again.

  • Digital Camera Won't Mount

    Hello, I have a Canon Powershot SD630 digital camera. Whenever I connect my camera to my computer via USB, iPhoto opens up normally and I can download the pictures to my computer fine. Although the camera will not mount on my desktop in order to see the contents of the SD memory card. Can anybody help me?

    Another option would be to invest in an inexpensive card reader. If you put your camera's card into the reader, iPhoto will still open, but the card will mount on your desktop, too. I also use a Canon camera, so I know this works. HTH.

  • I can't seem to fully load apps like Candy Crush, Plants vs. Zombies, and now my camera won't load. Any ideas on what the problem is?

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Candy Crush and Plants vs. Zombies 2, but no luck.
    I've recently tried using my camera to take a picture, and it won't fully load as well so I'm stuck not able to play games, or take pictures.

    CORRECTION: I can download it as everything else besides a PDF version. I'm able to download the document as a Word, Pages, and ePub document but not a PDF which hampers obviously our printing capabilities. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Premiere 12 won't load media

    Why won't my premiere 12 add some videos from my digital camera but will load other videos from the same camera?

    We have Windows 8.1.  My camera puts out MTS video, but it fails with these as well as MPG video that I convert.  I've always been able to hit add media and highlight several sources and they would load for the project.  Now I'm lucky if one will load. I am adding video files to the project.  I press add media. I choose the files and folder option and then I see my videos listed.  I highlight one and the add media box showing the video loading appears.  At this point about 90 % of the time it seems to freeze and show no progress on getting the clip over.  I have walked away and given it over an hour and yet nothing loads.  I will then hit cancel.  At this time I get a message that it is not responding and the program crashes. So I begin again and try one video file at a time and it will work for a couple and then crash.  I'm caught in a perpetual cycle.  I'm not loading huge videos.  I have been adding two and three second clips.
    Thanks,TLB

    Glholland,
    Try reseting the camera. Here are the instructions that are taken from this Kbase article:
    http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=2&sid=2544
    "Turn on the camera and then press the Snapshot button ( on the top, right hand side of camera) and the Operation Mode button simultaneously for more than two seconds. This deletes all files from the camera "

  • 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 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.

    What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

  • 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
