Downloading stalls from Sony DSC-S90

I am having trouble downloading from my Sony DSC-S90 digital camera to iphoto. The camera has two short video clips (with audio) and about 30 photos on the memory stick.
When I connect to iphoto, it'll download the first 5 photos, then it hits the video clip and stalls. One time it skipped over the two videos and loaded the photo right after the videos, and then stalled, leaving another 24 photos stranded on my camera.
My wife has another model of Sony digital camera, which also takes short video (without sound); with that camera, we can load everything onto iphoto, even the video clips.
I tried loading onto imovie with this camera, but it has a USB rather than firewire connection, and it won't work.("camera not connected" shows on screen.)
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks-Remulak

Go into Image Capture, Preferences. Change the camera settings from iPhoto to Image Capture. Now try to download all the images to a convenient folder. If that works, you can import the images into iPhoto manually. Go back to Image Capture and change the camera settings back to iPhoto.
This sounds a bit like a memory card that needs formatting. Once the images are safely on your Mac, find the format command in the Sony menu.

Download and play .MTS (HD pix from Sony DSC-TX10)in my i-Mac

Hi everyone!
I got stuck with this one.
Is there any apple app I can use to dowload HD (.MTS files from Sony DSC-TX10) so as to be able to visualize them on my i-Mac?
Many thanks!
Daniel

ddominguezp, if you want to also edit the .mts videos you may need to 're-wrap' the raw .mts files to get back all the folders and other files that would have been on the memory card when you first recorded your HD video clips. A lot people attempt to pull the video clips out of all the folders surround them and that causes problems for iMovie. iMovie by itself will not recognize the .mts files but needs all the pieces that would have originally come with the .mts file to work. I'm providing a link below to a discussion started by Karsten Schlüter that covers all the bases trying to get a .mts file back into iMovie. What you are trying to do in the end is 're-wrap' the .mts files with all the folders and files that are now missing.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac in Photoshop CS5 and have camera raw 6.7.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

Bruce,
When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com
I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com
I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
Good luck,
Rob

How do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie

how do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie.

First open up Imovie. Then plug the camcorder into the USB port. The computer will search for the camera. It will give a snapshot of what is on there. You can just click on CHECK ALL. It will begin to import. It will also tell you how long it will take. Once it is imported, click DONE. THEN, this is important, drag the snapshots into IMovie on the top to create a new project. You can also click on New Project and name it. When all the pics are in the movie, it will be saved. You can then edit it any way you want. I've done this many times on a Mac. My problem is the internal memory. I have to find out how to get the internal memory videos into my computer. Am currently researching it. BTW, importing from the memory stick is what I did above. Hope this helps.

Iphoto 7.1.1 slow to import from sony dsc-w80

Anyone experience similar issues when importing pictures from sony dsc-w80 into iphoto? Sometimes it just spins and spins and spins. Is there any way to fix this?

Yes, same problem here. I have a Sony DSC T50 that worked fine on IPhoto 6 and Tiger. Upgraded to Leopard and iPhoto 7.1.1 and it's unusable with a Sony DSC Camera and my PPC Mac. Takes 30 seconds per image to import. Takes forever to read the 900 images on the camera.
Since the DSC worked fine with earlier versions of Apple OS and software, I have to blame Apple and not Sony for this problem.
If you are having the problem too, please use the Send Feedback menu in iPhoto to report the bug to Apple.

Photoshop CS 5.1 and raw files from Sony DSC RX-100 -

I am trying to open a raw file from my Sony DSC RX-100 in Photoshop and get message that it isn't supported. I downloaded the update DNG Converter_8_5.dmg and it still won't let me. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Marek,
Unfortunately this is a forum for the CommunityHelp application and not a Photoshop forum, so there isn't a way to get an answer here.
Might I suggest that you describe your problem in a Photoshop forum such as:

Transferring images from Sony DSC-F828

Hi
I'd like to buy the iPod 5G. I'm just not sure yet about 1 thing. I'd like to use it to transfer my images from my Sony DSC-F828 when I'm on the move. I've seen that compactibility list, quit short list I would say. There are a few Sony cameras on it, but not mines of course. I saw that some people have a camera that isn't on the list and they say it works perfectly. Can somebody tell me if my camera would work on it.
I'm also planning to buy a canon EOS 400D or even higher. Does anyone have any experience with it and the iPod.
If there is no compatibility, is there another way to transfer images to it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Keith is absolutely right. There have been too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete deletions. It's not the camera but the situation, low battery, connection or power interruption, etc. that might trigger such a disaster. IMO it's just not worth the risk.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Need help with conversion progrma for MTS video files. Can't download videos from Sony TX-10 camera

Have new macbook pro 13". Can't download videos from our Sony TX-10 camera. I understand I need some kind of conversion program for MTS video files. Need recommendation for a good conversion program to convert the video files.
Thanks, chieftd

Well, sigh, that's not going to work.
I love how I can do months of research to choose the best camera for my needs and budget, which is NO easy task these days, but surprisingly find it on the unsupported list when it's a very popular camera. So, while it seems to support a whole bunch of other AVCHD options from Sony, not the NEX cameras.
The NEX cameras are the latest generation of mirrorless cameras (which, ironically, are great b/c they give dSLR quality still images while actually producing HD video that always records silently and stays in focus b/c it's mirrorless). The NEX 7 was just reviewed as Camera of the Year.
Bleh. Oh well. Maybe someday.
And, for anyone reading, Roxio Toast Titanium did convert it just fine but it took about 20 min or my time to set up a handful of clips and then a couple hours to complete converting them for the quality I was looking for. One was about 10 minutes of a kids' performance on Christmas and it took a long time. It's just not feasible given how many video clips I do with the camera a week - well, feasible when you consider all the cameras where this would be seamless.
Thanks for posting your reply - I appreciate it.

Importing into iPhoto 6 from Sony DSC-T1 crashes the application

Until I updated to iLife 06 I never had trouble importing photos into iPhoto from my Sony DSC-T1. Now, within seconds of clicking on the "import now" button the program crashes, and I've sent the obligitory bug report to Apple, but now the card is full and I don't know where to turn...
12 PB Mac OS X (10.4.6) iLife 06

Strange. Sorry to hear about your problems. Rather than importing via iPhoto directly from the camera, why don't you try getting the images off the card in the Finder? When you plug in the camera an icon for the memory card will appear on your desktop. Quit iPhoto if it automatically comes up. Create a folder on your desktop. Double click the memory card icon, and browse its contents until you find the image files. Drag them to the folder you created, and wait for the copy to complete. Then launch iPhoto and drag the folder of images into iPhoto.
Hopefully Apple support will be able to help you with that camera import into iPhoto. Is it on the iPhoto supported list?

Download images from Sony NEx 7 to lightroom

Anyone familiar with downloading raw images from Sony NEX 7 to lightroom.

This is the list of currently supported cameras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
Note: The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

Converting video from Sony DSC-H1

My Sony DSC-H1 camera produces MPEG's not compatible with Mac. I’ve tried a couple different ways to convert it into a format that can be loaded into iMovie or iDVD, but each step takes SO LONG! My goal is always to get either unedited or edited video onto a DVD so my family and others can view it. Does anyone know what is the best (and least time-consuming) process by which to do this?

If I need to edit, then I have to convert the MPEG 2 from my camera to DV for iMovie, correct? But then I need to transfer it to iDVD in order to copy it to a DVD, is that right? It’s a lot of steps that each take a long time for the conversions...no shorter way?
If I don’t want to edit, say just keep vacation video as it comes from the camera, is there any quicker way to just get the MPEG 2 onto a TV-playable DVD?

I can't upload film onto iMovie from Sony DSC-DVD203E, What do I need to do?

Hi,
I jhave a Sony DSC-DVD203E camera.
I'm trying to upload the things I have filmed onto to my macbook so I can edit them in iMovie.
Upon many attempts. It seems the camera and IMovie aren't communicating. I'm using iMovie 9
What do I need to do? Thanks in advance for your help.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

Not deleting images from Sony DSC-W120

iPhoto imports pictures from the camera just fine, but does not delete them from the memory stick, even when told to delete originals?
Ideas? Camera side perhaps?
It works fine with an older Sony Cybershot dsc-s600.
