Does iphoto hate the EOS Canon Rebel XT?

I have a EOS Canon Rebel XT and recently bought a Mac Pro. When I plug it into the computer, iphoto opens, but it doesn't let me import any of the photos. I changed the settings on the camera back and forth from PC to Tiff, but still nothing is working. Help!!

What sort of erros are you getting? Any dialog boxes etc.?
I have 2 Canons and do not have any problems using iPhoto to import tiffs or jpegs but cannot import Canon or Kodak Raw files. I don't use iPhoto to import any Raw files, I use Graphic Converter to import Raw files to my Mac.
Try this work around by using Application > Image Capture to import your files. Open Image Capture and then plug in your camera. It should start an import dialog, you will need to make a folder to import to and you can simply drag and drop folder into iPhoto.
Good luck, Rick

Is there a patch for Preview and iPhoto for the new Canon RAW format yet?

I recently purchased a Canon 6D, and I was surprised to find out that my Preview and iPhoto does not read the new Canon RAW codec. It's been out for almost 7 or 8 months. All my software is current. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro with iOS 10.7.5 The software that Canon supplied is terribly slow when it comes to importing the CR2 files and exporting them as jpegs. iPhoto can import my Canon 40D CR2 photos and spit out the jpeg proofs super quick. So, does anyone know of any software updates that I may have overlooked regarding iPhoto or Preview. I can't upgrade to Mavericks, as my computer will not support it. I have a feeling I may be SOL, but thanks for any help!

10.7.5 is not an iOS, it is a Mac OS X. And no, it is not current. 10.9.3 is current. As for your 6D, here's the RAW by operating system support:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats- your operating system
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.8
OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.9 support
Turns out the 6D is supported for 10.7. You need the RAW compatibility update 4.0.3:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.03
And the 40d is natively supported by 10.7.

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

How does iPhoto organises the photos?

Dear fellow Mac users,
how are you! Tonight, my parents had a lot of fun taking photos of them using Photo Booth... awww. those love birds haha.. and i made a music slideshows for them. (too bad i dont know how to burn it into a VCD for them to watch on TV). I dont have a DVD RW.
My question is
1. How does Iphoto organises the photos? It seems like there are many dublicate copy of the same photo.... i am kind of confused. (There is .. Original Folder and Modified Folder) and worried that it will eat up my disk space
2. Is it possible for me to burn a slide show VCD?
Thank you soooo much!

StanB:
As PhillyPhan warned, you don't need to use the Finder to locate an image file for use outside iPhoto. You can either drag the thumbnail to the desktop to get a copy of it or use the File->Export->File Export menu route to export the file to the desktop. The second option allows you to resize it if desired. So there's no need to go rummaging around in the iPhoto Library folder to find a file.

Where does iphoto put the library?

where does iphoto put the library?
i thought it would be put in the pictures folder but at least in my case it is not there! the folder is empty.
I can import pictures and they show in iphoto and frontrow but I would simply like to know where on my harddisk they end up.
anybody?
thanks

Chris
No! Don't make anew library it will overwrite your old one.
It's there somewhere, it's just that it's visibility status has changed (why??)
Anyway try the following:
go to http://www.cocoatech.com and download Pathfinder. This is an alternative to the Finder - and it has extra features, among them a View-> Show Invisible Items command. This might help us find it.
Pathfinder is shareware, but you can use it for a trial period without paying.

Iphoto quit working with Canon Rebel T4i

Greetings,
I am running a late 2009 Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 with Iphoto 8.1.2. My go to camera is a Canon Rebel T4i and I shoot in Raw almost without exception. File format is .cr2. I have been able to import my Raw photos without issue for several months until today when I received an error message from Iphoto informing me that the photos I wished to transfer were in an incompatible format and could not be imported. I can clearly see the pictures I want to import in iphoto so the program is at least able to generate a preview but it will not import giving me the above mentioned error message. What am I missing and what can be done to correct this short of updating my entire operating system and iphoto? What can I say, I like Snow Leopard.

Used Image Capture and a card reader still to no avail even with preview. Here are screens of the error messages and views I am getting. They may hold a clue:

Does iPhoto on the iPad support the use of an external editor?

I would like to use an external editor in iPhoto on my iPad, but can't seem to find anyway to do this.
Is it supported?

iPhoto for iOS is not quite like the desktop version. It does not have the ability to directly send photos to an external editor but the photos it shows are simply your camera-roll photos. Any photo editor app should have access to your camera roll and all your photos. When you save out an edited photo you'll simply get a new photo added to your camera-roll it will not repalce the original. As long as the editor app you are using saves out to the camera-roll iPhoto will be able to read those newly edited photos.

Where Does iPhoto Get The Date?

I'm not sure I understand where iPhoto is getting the information for a photo's Date.
Is it coming from the photo's metadata?
If so, which field?
I have scanned old photo and I want iPhoto to show the Data that they were originally taken, not when they were scanned. I've used both Aperture and Adobe Lightroom to change the created date, but iPhoto seems to be using the date the photo was scanned.

I scanned the photo. I used Lightroom to modify the photo, including changing the capture time and date.
When I view the photo's metadata in Adobe Bridge, it shows the correct/new date that I entered in Lightroom.
But, when I import that photo into iPhoto, iPhoto shows the date as today. That seems odd. Today is not the date the photo was scanned. And it's not using the data I modified in the metadata.
That is because
iPhoto uses the date in the EXIF fields - if there is none then it uses the file date
I know I can change the date inside iPhoto, but I was hoping to change the date in the photo's metadata, so that now matter who or how someone looks at the photo it will have the correct creation date.
And this is how you do that
You can change the date in iPhoto using the batch change command (photo menu ==> batch change ==> time/date)
Then export the photo
I don't know how iPhoto's data change feature works, but if it's like the name/title change feature, then I wouldn't want to use it.
That is totally up to you - it is the only way to change the date using iPhoto
my wife renamed a bunch of photos in her iPhoto. Then she emailed them to someone and found out that the file name didn't change. The title changed.
That is correct - you can export the photos using the title as the file name (among other options)
I'm not sure why iPhoto would change a title as opposed to the actual file name.
Because iPhoto is a database based photo manager - not a file manager
Or at least have the option to pick what you wanted.
It does - the export command

How far does iPhoto preserve the RAW file when editing?

I'm trying to get a better understanding of how iPhoto handles RAW photos and hope you'll answer a humble, possibly misguided question:
How far through the editing process does iPhoto preserve RAW data?
Here's what I mean by this: I understand that iPhoto cannot "edit" a RAW file, but there are a couple of ways it look like it was. Let's take a WB adjustment as an example.
Option 1: "Convert on import." iPhoto converts the RAW to a JPG when I import the file (or begin to edit it). Then adjusting the WB will be a filter applied to a JPG file (meaning there wasn't much advantage to shooting RAWs in the first place)!
Option 2: "Fully RAW." iPhoto imports the RAW file and then "processes" it whenever you display or print it. When you edit it (e.g., adjusting the white balance), it keeps track of the new parameters (e.g., WB, or contrast, or cropping, etc.) and then uses these parameters the next time it processes the RAW for display. This would mean, for example, that there would be no difference in quality between
A. Taking a freshly-imported RAW and setting the white balance to X, and
B. Taking a freshly-imported RAW, setting the white balance to Y, closing iPhoto, re-opening iPhoto then editing the picture again and changing the WB to X.
Option 3: "Somewhere in-between." Files are imported as RAW, but then converted to JPG at the end of the first editing. Subsequent edits are treated as JPG edits (including the resulting loss in image quality with each edit).
Can anyone clarify this? How does the answer differ for different types of edits (e.g., WB vs. image rotation vs., expanding the highlights, etc.)? Is the answer different for Aperture vs. iPhoto?
Thanks!
-Mike

How about the 4 th option... None of the above.
Option 3 is closest. As the Help says:
When you edit a RAW-format photo and click Done, iPhoto applies your changes to the RAW image data and stores the data as a JPEG file (the original RAW file remains unchanged).
It can also be saved as tiff is you prefer.
Here's where it's different from your option 3:
Subsequent edits are treated as JPG edits (including the resulting loss in image quality with each edit)
There is no loss of image quality with each edit because of iPhoto's _[Non-Destructive Editing Feature|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/11464.html]_ .
You can, of course, re-process the RAWs if you choose. This will bring you right back to the Original file.
Aperture is quite different. It's at your option 2

Where does iPhoto save the time for each photo?

I copied some photos from the library to my desktop, ran software to add an hour to several at once (forgot daylight savings time), deleted the original photos from iPhoto, and re-imported the new copy with the new times back into the library.
I was very surprised to see the information window on the bottom left side of the iPhoto window still showed the old time. Even more confusing is that if I bring up the main info window (CMD-I), the time indicated there is the time I corrected to.
Why do these times not match? Where is iPhoto keeping the old times?

Bob:
Other users have reported that also. I've used PhotoInfo to change time and dates of file and upon importing back into iPhoto they are reported as changed in both the Source window info section and in the Get Info window's Photo section. Don't know why I can do it and the other users were not able to.
I just dragged the photos from the thumbnail window to the desktop, launched PhotoInfo, went to the File->Open menu and select the file. I then changed the time and clicked on Change button. Upon importing into iPhoto the date displayed as changed. If you didn't use PhotoInfo you might give it a try.

Where does iphoto store the raw photos?

Hi - I have imported all my photos into iphoto and am begining to get the hang of using iphoto to create my events/albums etc. I have been a PC user for over 20 years and all my media/data etc is backed up onto a NAS drive. For a long time I assumed I could use iphotos in Reference Mode and keep everything on NAS but it is painfully slow, eventhough all my computers communicate wired and I have a decent router. So I have given up and have imported all of them.
However, I would like to keep my NAS as a backup for my raw files. I know I can load my raw data twice by going between the PC and Mac, but would rather not. I would really appreciate it if anyone can tell me if the following is possible;
1. Import new photos from my camera into iphoto
2. Use an app on the iMac to just Copy the new raw photos into my NAS drive, without corrupting iphotos. I can't find where iphotos stores the photos.
3. Go back to iphoto and organise my photos into events etc
4. Keep the original files on NAS to import as and when (if I ever need to)
I am going to get a new external drive, formatted for Mac to back up iphotos BUT in the mean time I'd like to do the above. I am grateful for any help.
Regards

iPhoto 09 and iPhoto 11 have exactly the same options for accessing the images. Exactly the same supported ones, exactly the same unsupported ones.

So does *iPhoto* recognize the ROKR as a camera?

I'm really interested in the new ROKR and am slowly pieceing together snippets of info from here and there. I know you can mount the phone on your Mac desktop like any drive device and transfer files (pictures) back and forth. But I haven't seen any mention of iPhoto recognizing the ROKR as a camera. Any one tried out using iPhoto to transfer the phone camera photos into the iPhoto library?

<q>Any one tried out using iPhoto to transfer the phone camera photos into the iPhoto library?</q>
Robert,
Just hit Command-O (in iPhoto) and navigate to the ROKR disk icon>mobile>picture.It's just not recognized automatically, but for the rest it works the same.

IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

Hi,
I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library.
I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo. When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library? I'm thinking the former. Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto. Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer? Will I need to go into TM and restore them? Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
Thank you much,
I'm working with 9.1.2

I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!! What the heck is going on? So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from? Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album! What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what? I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
This is a bug. It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember. And Apple had never done a complete fix. It's an if thing!
And the most frustrating part: Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
Oh, toys are toys. I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won!

Does Mac support the printer CANON MP 520 fully

Hi, i downloaded the drivers available for the canon printer. the printer work fine, its just that i cant get into the printer settings. therefore, i cant actually change specific attributes, for example i cant change the printer to print only black and white only using black ink, so my printer is always using all 4 colours.
does anyone know a solution to my issue? would greatly be appreciated as i hope i don't have to buy another printer.
thanks in advance
jimmy

yea i looked into that, thats normally where the settings for the printer would be. but when i click the little triangle it really only gives me a limited amount of customizable settings. like maybe 20% of everything i can do.
i know because on windows, once downloaded, it comes with an icon that says "my printer" and in there you can change a lot of things. i cant seem to get those printer settings on the mac.
i went to the canon drivers for mac and i think i shows the 'my printer' driver that can be installed but it doesn't have OSx listed as compatible. i find that strange because if everything else is compatible except that particular one, and thats the most important!
any other ideas?

Does iPhoto import the pictures from those miniature cameras you see in sto

Hi,
I have seen the miniature cameras that are sold in a number of stores. They are small and cost $20 to $30.
Does anyone know if the pictures on those cameras are any good and if they can be imported into iPhoto?
Thank you

With those cameras you get what you pay for — really crummy pictures — if you're lucky. If you're not lucky, you get less, or nothing at all. At least some of them require proprietary drivers which are only offered for Windoze computers; Macs won't recognize such a camera or import pictures from it. My recommendation is to avoid the cheapies and buy a real camera. If you have access to a Windoze PC and want your seven-year-old to have a camera, and you won't mind if it's incompatible with your Mac, you're exactly who those cameras are for.
