Downloading a Pentax Optio 50 camera
I'm trying to download from a Pentax Optio 50 camera via usb. When the camera is connected and switched on it is not automatically detected and a message 'data being processed' is displayed. The camera then switches off after approximately 5 seconds. Any suggestions other than getting a new camera?
If the camera shoots jpeg then yes, it is supported.
"The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the Avilmporter plug-in"
Remove the AviImporter plug in. This is usually found in one of two Quicktime Folders:
HD/Library/ Quicktime
or
HD/Users / Your Name / Library / Quicktime
If the avi files you import then do not play, try install Perian

Pentax Optio S5N - does not play vid clips on OS 10.4.8. How do I fix?
I have a Pentax Optio S%N and when I download my pics and video clips the pics transfer but the video clips only play sound with no video. I installed Div X player but this did not help.
Any suggestions? This vid clips play on my PC.webber999
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
There are so many different codecs for video that you've landed on one that doesn't have a mac version installed.
First port of call, the Pentax site and see if they have an updated version for Mac.
Second, try install Perian: http://perian.org/ It's a collection of Codecs for QT that might help.

Pentax Optio A10 - Movie Failure
I have a Pentax Optio A10 compact camera. The stills are fine, but the movies don't have sound once imported into iMovie HD 6.0.1 (and other software including Quicktime Pro & iPhoto.)
I (eventually) got an email back fm Pentax which said "Unfortunately DivX playback is not supported for Mac OS." However, the movies do play with sound when using VLC.
Any ideas as to how I can get the files with sound into iMovie? According to camera paperwork file format is MPEG-4 DivX.
Thanks for any help.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Yes I believe I installed the DivX component some time ago. I do not have access to the machine right now but will double-check later to be certain, and will confirm or otherwise. Do you know how I check that it is installed?
Apart from the movie issue, I'm happy with the camera so far, but have to say I haven't actually used it very much yet. On paper, the size / weight / specification combination is great. In terms of actual results, the few point and shoots I've done so far have been nothing spectacular, but not bad either. Forthcoming holiday will test it fully, and will let you know.
Meantime thanks for your response.

Movies from Pentax Optio wg 2 not playing in iPhoto
After importing movies from my Pentax Optio WG 2 camera to iPhoto it does not allow me to view the movie. The movie thumbnail is visible in my "photo gallery", but when I double click on the thumbnail it opens to a black screen. Any imported photos from this camera (Pentax Optio WG 2) are visible both as a thumbnail as well as when I double click on them (to edit etc.)
Yes, when Apple released OSX Mavericks they made some changes to Quicktime 10 (QT 10) and tada; your camera is obsolete! (In 10.8 the WG-2 videos work fine)
The issue is that the MOV container that the WG2 creates is not quite right. If you open the file with QT7 and save it again, QT7 fixes the container and then QT10 will be able to open and play the file (so will iPhoto, QuickView, iMovie, etc.) However QT10 is unable to recognize the problem and just pukes on the file (if you try and open the file in Finder, it will tell you the file is damaged and should be moved to Trash.) I have asked Apple if they will consider making QT10 a little smarter (e.g. "this file needs to be updated/fixed, ok to make the change?"), but so far nothing. You could ask them to help us out, by giving them some constructive feedback here;
https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
If you want to manually fix all your files, you can get QT7 here;
QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later

I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem. All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera. Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library. Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that. To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it. I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth. This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it. If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly). How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?See my response to your other post.

When I download pictures from my camera they use to also downloan in Cannon's Easy Photo. In my new computer they don't. I want them to. How??? Also how do i edit photos in Photoshop and print 4 to a page?
Please study this, then come back with more specific questions

Use of the tools is pretty much the same in all versions of the program.
"Edit" is a menu item in Photoshop Elements Editor. Don't you see this? -
My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer. -
Problems downloading photos from the camera to iPod
Last week I tried to download photos from the camera to my 60 GB iPod.
I had almost near 150 pictures (jpg) but something happened. The iPod (or the iPod Camera Connector) isn't able to transfer more than 60 photos (aprox.).
For bigger amounts, the tranfer speeds up and after finishing, I can't find the photos and I can't transfer photos anymore or listen to music o play videos.
Is there any restriction concerning photo transfer? What could be the problem?
Thanks.As a matter of fact. After giving my camera a complete charge, I have had
no more problems
That is why a card reader is so useful. You do not have to wait for the camera to charge and avoid the kind of errors above. -

Why does iPhoto 9.4.3 not recognise RAW files from a Pentax K3 camera? It does from a K7.
Because it requires Mavericks - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5955

I recently bought a new computer with Win 8.1 installed. When I installed CS6 64 bit, the installation went seamlessly. My problem is that when I try and download images from my camera, it automatically launches the Windows Photo software to download the photos. I would like to use the Bridge to do this for several reasons. If I turn off the Windows Photo program, it takes me back to Bridge but when I click on Download Photos, it causes Bridge to lock up.
If I click on download photos before I turn on my camera, it does not find the camera (as expected) but then I turn on the camera and reset list and Bridge finds the camera and I can download the photos. Then if I try and download additional photos, Bridge locks up and I need to turn off the software and reboot the computer in order to get anything to download.
I have gone to the System Settings and changed the AutoPlay settings to automatically select Bridge when I download Pictures...I also selected Bridge for the Memory Card. Under Devices, my camera is listed and that is set to "Import Photos and Videos"
Any suggestions?See my response to your other post.

I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.
The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there. I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive. The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK. -

I am trying to download pic from my camera to my iphoto. The computer is telling me that I cannot do this because it down not work with this version of OSx
What do I do?
Thanks!
horton05It is not possible to install OS X 10.7.2 on a Mac with a G5 processor.
In order for 10.7.2 to be installed you must have an Intel processor and not a PowerPC which G5 is. Please straighten out your information.
Also the version of iPhoto you are attempt to run would be helpful.

I downloaded photos from digital camera and now I want to delete some but when I hit the photos icon it only brings up pics with the only options being move or slideshow no trashcan or delete options available
You should be able to delete photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing -
I recently replaced iPhoto with Aperture. When I download pics into Aperture they are place in a file that's called "Untitled Project." When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto they were put in a file that was named with the download date (YYYY MM DD). Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?
My apologies.
When I import I have an Applescript that stores the images in a year month day folder-project structure so I haven;t used the default Aperture behavior in some time. When I tested it out to reply to you I was doing it from the file system and it picked up the date from the folder. mea culpa.
Anyway the closest you can get is to have Aperture split the images by date. IN the Aperture preferences set the project split granularity
Autosplit into Projects
and then in the import window set
Automatically split projects.
This will give projects named Month Day, Year (ie: Mar 13, 2012) there is no way to change this
As I said I have a script that runs on import and sets up a structure like:
Of course many here will say not to name projects this way, that Aperture has the ability to sort by date and you're better off naming projects something more meaningful. For them that is true and it might be for you also. For me I like to store my masters this way, it works for the way I shoot.
