Downloading photos from Canon camera to computer

I'll try to be brief. I was using iPhoto 1 or 2 and downloading photos without problems from an older Canon SD 400. Unfortunately I can't remember doing anything special but one day, the computer, or rather, iPhoto, did not see the camera. I could see the camera in the System Profiler. OK, so I wanted a new camera. I bought a new Canon SD1100 IS. It would not transfer photos. BTW, I was able to transfer photos from everyone else's non-Canon cameras. OK, I decided to bite the bullet and bought and installed iLife '08. Besides, I needed a newer version of iPhoto to transfer photos to my iTouch. Still no go. After much ado, I even got a new camera from Canon. Now I had also installed at some point, software for my HP camera (don't get one)but before trying the new camera, I uninstalled that software. Several restarts later and I finally had to get a little multi-card reader which shows up in iPhoto as MY CANON CAMERA! Any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure that the camera is set to the correct USB protocol. There are two: Mass Storage and PTP. I’m not sure which is the correct one, but whatever yours is set to, try the other one Consult the manual on your camera for details.
But you are better using your Card Reader for importing. There is no risk of an incomplete import(due to the camera shutting down, for example) and it also saves wear and tear on the Camera ports.

  • Can't download photos from canon camera

    Since I downloaded Yosemite, I can't get my Mac desktop to recognize my Canon PowerShot SD1100IS Digital ELPH camera.  I've gone into Preview, Finder and Image Capture and it's not there.  How do I get my photos onto my computer from the camera?

    Same here... I have a Powershot Elph340HS and a SD960IS, I've updated Canon ImageBrowser and CamaraWindow and it just says "no camera detected"... so I used a different usb to make sure it wasn't that, I've tried everything, Preview, iPhoto, even iMovie... all of which worked before for importing from my cameras...

  • I downloaded photos from a camera and cannot delete the ones I want as it displays only move and slideshow options but no trashcan or delete options

    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

    You may have to research any newer possibilities in trouble-
    shooting or resolving issues by use of iPhoto Support page.
    Since I don't use iPhoto as a primary editor or storage, the
    details on the topic aren't so good. I prefer ToyViewer editor.

    Hopefully the error is easily corrected.

  • Can't download photos from my camera into Elements 9.0

    Have Elements 9.0 which I just installed in October.  I cannot download photos from my camera .  On the ORGANIZE workspace I see no FILE, Get Photos, Help, Edit or even how to download the patches to make it current 9.0.  I seem to be missing some critical menu's.  I used Elements 4.0 for a number of years and it worked just fine.  I've wasted a lot of time and it is not clear to me that the situation I have has ever been encountered by anyone else.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Good questions and thanks for trying to help me out.  I’ve evolved through part of my problem but I know more than I understand.  Here is what I’ve done and what I’ve observed:
    1.  The menus in the top row left side are missing.  That is FILE, EDIT, FIND, VIEW, WINDOW and HELP are nowhere to be found.  The right side of the top row is OK (Sign In, Create New Adobe ID), Undo, Redo, Display, Home and –?X)
    2.  I then installed Elements 9.0 on my wife’s new Window 7 computer.  It looks just fine.  Everything is as it should be.
    3.  I had an idea a shifted the my computer from medium (125%) fonts to small (100%) fonts.  Everything looks fine.  I went and rechecked my wife’s notebook and it has medium (125%) fonts.  So my Windows computer with 18” monitor will not display PSE correctly at 125% but my wife’s notebook will!  It is hard to read, I’m 75, but it works.
    4.  I have no idea what causes the problem but I can use PSE just fine if I don’t mind straining to read.  So it looks like I have a solution to my original problem.
    5.  I tried to email a photo from each computer and that doesn’t work.  Separate problem and I find that others have had the identical problem.  At least I can describe the problem well enough to find all sorts of responses on the Internet. 
    Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

  • Can't download photos from my iPhone4 into computer

    I don't know what is the problem? I can't download photos from my iPhone4 into computer. Because last week I could download it. Today I've got the error message "Microsoft Office Document Scanning does not support this type of device". How can I solve this problem and this problem is related to my iPhone or my computer?
    Thank you.

    Photos should be downloaded using the scanner and camera wizard and not Office. That will copy pictures into your pictures folder in the My documents folder. This is one of the options that should pop up when you connect the USB cable to your Iphone.

  • 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.

    Perhaps it because you said photoshop 7.

  • When downloading photos from my camera, iphoto will unexpectedly quit. One help suggestion said to try deleting iphoto preferences, but I can't  find them.

    Iphoto unexpectedly quits while I am downloading photos from my camera. I logged in under a different name and it worked fine, whcih was one suggestion in my handbook. If that worked, which it did, the book suggests deleting iphoto prefences. But where are Iphoto preferences? I have looked high and low and cannot find them. Any other ideas?  I have a boat load of photos in this primary user log in, so...maybe I need to increase iphoto's RAM, but how do I do that?

    Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto?
    How many is a "boatload"? There's no way to "increase iPhoto's RAM"

  • I can't download photos from my camera. instead of a camera listed under devices I have a new icon named wizard.  help?

    I can't download photos from my camera.  My camera used to show up under 'devices' when I connected to my Mac.  Today it shows an icon called wizard instead.  When I turn on the camera to start the download, empty picture frames appear, but no photos to import.  Can anyone advise?  Thank you!

    Try to import from your camera with Image Capture instead of iPhoto. Does that work?
    Do you see your camera as a disk on the Desktop?
    Can you open the image files from te Finder?
    That wizzard-icon is puzzling. Have you used your camera with a PC and perhaps reformatted the SD Card from a different operating system? Then I'd try to import a different SD Card, that has been reformatted in the camera.

  • I am having problems downloading photos from my camera to iphoto 11

    I am unable to download photos from my sony cybershot DSC-W170 and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 to iphoto11. The problem started when the colour wheel started spinning when iphoto opened after I switched on either camera and the programme became unresponsive. Subsequently when ever I then tried to open iphoto the colour wheel span and iphoto didn't respond, force quit the only way out.
    After this happened the first time I rebuilt my library from timemachine (not the quickest process with around 9000 images), iphoto then opened okay and I could view libraries again.
    I then downloaded the images directly from the camera sd card to my desktop and tried to drag the images into iphoto one at a time this worked but as soon as i tried to import the whole roll, the colour wheel popped up and iphoto became unresponseive again but I could view my libraries at least.
    I then read about deleting the library cache which I did and restarted my mac (imac core duo 2ghz, running 10.6.8) I then tried to download from the sony cybershot again and I here am back at the start, with the colour wheel and iphoto not responding, I have just force quit and I can't open iphoto. Help!

  • When I try and download photos from my camera, the system automatically launches Photo Viewer in Win 8.1.  This causes my Adobe Bridge to lock up.

    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?

  • Can't download photos from digital camera after latest software update

    Hi,
    since the latest update on the 28.9.08 I have trouble downloading photos from my Canon Eos 400D. I can't use "Digitale Bilder" anymore, nor Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader or iPhoto. I have to use my partners MacBook that doesn't have the update yet. Could it have something to do with the RAW-Compatibility-Update? And does Apple know and do something about it?
    Or can I fix this myself?
    I'd appreciate help.

  • Can I download photos from I pad2 to computer

    Can I download photos from I-pad 2 to the computer?
    Also, how I can check or change assuring on my camera at I pad 2? How many megapixel and what size of photo i'm getting?

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from email/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If you want to copy back photos that were originally synced from a computer then you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    The rear camera is listed as 720p, which I believe is 1280 x 720
