Fuji S700 digital camera on USB connection unnoticed

Just given Fuji Finepix S700 dig. camera. Trying to import pictures to my MacB. Plugged USB cable from camera to MacB, & turned camera on, as instructed. It doesn't show up in Finder. The cable is plugged directly to the computer, not a hub or extension.
I have installed FinePix viewer as instructed. Owner's Manuel says: "In Mac OS X, you must set the automatic setup when the first time you connect the camera to your PC." [sic] I don't know what that means, & haven't found any help on the computer.
System Profiler does SEE the device, but that apparently doesn't help me import anything or otherwise deal w/ the camera.
Thanks for your help.

Try going to your Applications and launching 'Image Capture', then plug you camera in and turn it on. That camera should set itself to USB mode regardless of the dial position you choose.

  • Recognizing digital camera via USB

    I recently recently reinstalled 10.3 on my iBook using the 'Archive' option. Since reinstallation, my iBook will not recognize my digital camera that is connected via USB.
    I have verified permissions and zapped pram. The USB ports work fine with my printer.
    Any idea how to proceed to get the camera recognized?
    Thanks for any help - direction.

    I understand your frustration.
    Does Apple System Profiler see anything connected to your USB port? With the camera connected and turned on, click "About This Mac" at the top of the Apple menu, then click "More Info" in the window that follows, and "USB" in the ASP window. When you click on each of your two USB ports in the upper right portion of the ASP window, what is shown below for connected devices? If there's nothing there, some sort of hardware problem would seem to be indicated — and the fact that your ports work with other devices suggests that if there's a hardware problem, it's in the camera or its USB cable. The fact that both were working before you reinstalled the OS doesn't absolutely guarantee that both are still working, though the temporal coincidence of a failure in one of them with your OS reinstallation does strain credulity a little.
    ...the camera was recognized by my computer before I reinstalled the OS.
    That's why I initially surmised that the current failure to do so might be due to software (a driver or extension) that was deactivated when you archived your old OS. But it could instead be because of some software setting or preference that was selected before the reinstallation, archived with the old OS, and now needs to be selected again. Unfortunately, I can't think what it might be. I hope someone else will come along with a bright idea for you.

  • Cannot load pictures from Fuji F10 digital camera onto OSX 10.5.2

    I cannot load pictures from my fuji F10 digital camera. The Fuji support site does not appear to have any firmware that would allow compatibility between the two but was wondering if anyone has any ideas. I can't even bring them over using a zip drive because I get an error stating that the files are corrupt. any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    What brand of camera do you have? Perhaps you might take it up with the manufacturer, after all, they are the ones who decide whether to support mounting on the OS X Desktop.
    Given the amount of pictures I take, constantly taking my card in and out of the camera puts wear and tear on it,
    Using a USB Card Reader is a much better and safer way to transfer your photos:
    1. Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
    2. It saves the battery on your camera
    3. It saves wear and tear on your camera ports - and replacing a worn USB port on a camera is somewhat more expensive than replacing a camera card - and what "wear and tear" is there on a card?
    4. It’s almost always faster.

  • Mini mac will not register my digital camera. It connected the first day and I was able to upload some video; however, I pulled the USB out--there was a bad message--and I cannot get the mac to register that I plug it back in.

    Have you downloaded everything that is on the camera? If so format the SD card on the camera (will erase everything on the card).
    If you have not downloaded everything can you see stuff on the camera? If you have a card reader you could try putting the SD card in that and trying on the mini. If your mini has a SD card slot you could try that.
    In any case format the card on the camera before taking more pics.
    Next time be sure to eject the camera from the Mac properly and turn the camera off before disconnecting.
    EDIT: You might also check the camera's USB Mode is set to PC.

  • Sony dsc-wx150 digital camera doesn't connect in iPhoto

    Just got a Sony DSC-WX-150 digital camera. Already have a Mac Mini, OS 10.7.xx latest updates, and iPhoto 11 with latest updates. When I connect the camera with the supplied usb cable and turn it on, iPhoto doesn't respond or show the mounted device. The Finder sees it and shows it in a window as a memory stick. Any idea why it doesn't show or what I can do about it? TIA
    Jim

    Thanks, Larry. Why couldn't that be in the Troubleshooting section or on Sony's web site? I'm sure I'm not the only one with a new memory card.

  • Digital camera/printer-scanner connection to iPhoto

    I recently purchased an iMac with iPhoto 08. I have an HP R707 Photosmart digital camera that iPhoto won't recognize. I followed the instructions in the iPhoto tutorial but iPhoto will not recognize the camera as a source and, in fact, freezes up. I have to Force Quit the application. A friend suggested getting a card reader. I looked on the Apple site and the first thing that popped up was an HP Photosmart printer/scanner with media readers. Well, I already have one connected to the iMac. The HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-one. I open iPhoto and insert the digital medium in the HP slot and try to download to iPhoto, but the HP tells me I need some software. What software? Why won't my camera connect? I'd actually prefer to use the printer/scanner since you can do more with it. Any assistance will be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You'll have to contact HP to see what software it requires. A card reader is, IMO, the optimal method of uploading from the camera to iPhoto as the method works with any camera that has a removable media card.
    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.

  • Missing photos when importing from a Fuji s602zoom digital camera

    I noticed that when I import the photos from my digital camera (as above), sometimes there are some missing. No error messages displayed and the import seems to finish OK.
    This makes life difficult as I cannot now trust iPhoto and have to check every import.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Neville:
    On those occasions where the camera drops some photos are there any movies on the card?
    A workaround is to use Image Capture to upload either to a folder on the Desktop first or directly into iPhoto. It's not recommended that you have iPhoto erase the card after import as there have been too many cases, yours for one, that have incomplete uploads and complete erasures.
    Do you Twango?

  • I saw a video of someone using a iPhone with a iPad camera kit usb connected to a Midi keyboard

    Is it possible somehow to use an iPad camera kit usb with an iPhone ?. I saw someone using it in a video with a M-Audio keyboard with iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.1

    It is not supported, no. If someone has gotten it to work with specific equipment, great, but there is no gaurantee it will do so.

  • Digital Video Camera with USB connection

    If anyone can help me please let me know. I own a Sony Digital Video Camera that's 3 years old. It connects to my iMAC through a USB port. I can not figure out how to load my videos to iMovie. Is this camera too old? When I connect the USB port nothing happens; nothing appears on my desktop.

    George,
    i'm not sure if you can download Image Capture from the Apple Website separately or if it comes as a total download of a specific version of OSX. If you have the original system discs that came with your computer, maybe that would have it, or worst case, an option to "Restore Software." Since you camera records to a DVD, you have another option: Do a Google search for MPEG Streamclip and download it (free). Basically, MPEG Streamclip will convert the files on the DVD back to DV files for editing in iMovie. I don't have any first-hand experience with a DVD camera, so you might also need to download Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple's site) if the video on your DVDs is in MPEG-2 format. Come to think of it, I downloaded some MPEG movies from my digital still camera (it takes simple movies) using Image Capture and I still needed to use both MPEG Streamclip and the Apple Component to get it into iMovie, so maybe skip Image Capture and go for these two programs. I know it should be easier to do than this, but unfortunately getting video back off of a DVD is not what Apple wanted you to do. They setup their movie edit programs to accept DV files. The movies on a DVD are already highly compressed, so you actually need to reverse the process and get these compressed movies back to DV. Most PC computers allow, and even suggest, that you import MPEG movies for editing, but that is toally backwards. That explains why the PC discussion boards are filled with toally frustrated and confused people. Most PC computers still don't come with Firewire. They just don't get it.

  • How to achieve image using digital camera of USB-type interface through IMAQ PCI-1424 board.

    1.Is it doable?
    2.How to connect USB-type interface with IMAQ PCI-1424 board.
    Thanks!

    See the Developer's Zone (www.ni.com/zone) for specifics on USB (search for "USB").
    "1.Is it doable?"
    - In short "no".
    - USB is similar to FireWire (IEEE 1394), and no framegrabber is required. We offer an IEEE 1394 IMAQ driver to interface FireWire cameras with LabVIEW & CVI.
    "2.How to connect USB-type interface with IMAQ PCI-1424 board."
    - You will need a USB driver for the camera. The 1424 is not required.

  • View image instantly on monitor from camera with USB connection

    Hello,
    What I want is to see my image instantly on monitor when I am taking a picture from example a portrait or a painting in the studio. The camera is connected with USB to the computer.
    Help!!

    So I was shooting teathered the other day with the following:
    Nikon D100
    USB to Powerbook G4, 1.25 Ghz 2GB Ram OS 10.4.8
    Nikon Capture to Hot Folder
    Hot Folder to Aperture
    My issue was that sometimes for reasons I could not work out my
    Camera would lock-up after a couple of frames shot. I was also syncing
    to a couple of dynalites but I dont think it was a light re-cycle thing.
    This became embarrasing as my subject was standing there and my shutter
    would be locked up.
    Was this an issue with maxing out the processor on the Pbook?
    Or perhaps writing the file to aperture?
    Would it be better to have the image display in Nikon Capture and worry bout importing into Aperture later?
    After finally de-teathering and shooting normaly I never ran into the problem again.
    Any thoughts appreciated.
    TIA.

  • JVC Digital camera not fully connected

    I have a JVC GR-DVM70 and I have a Mac mini / SuperDrive that won't capture video from it. It does rewind it and start it playing but after 10 secs it stops saying no video captured. When I plug it in I do not get a Connected message. Anybody been through this before, I sure could use your help?

    Same problem here with JVC GR-DX37. With iMovie it works fine but One Step DVD in iDVD stops with 'no video captured'.
    Has anybody worked this out yet?
    Thanks

  • Connect Digital Camera to iPhone (3G)

    Can I directly connect my digital camera (with USB) to iPhone? If yes, how? If not, why not?
    I don't want to have my Mac with me on holiday to get my photos on my iPhone to send them to my friends...
    Thanks!

    If you are taking pics with your iphone you can email from there, but using a digital camera is better for quality. You can take the memory card to any walgreens or wal-mart and have a photo cd made and then make copies of that.

  • IPhone connect to Digital camera or Eye-fi

    Hi. Can I connect the iPhone to digital camera? If it is not possible, can I connect an eye-fi card to the phone? Thanks

    I do not know of a way that iPhone and digital cameras can be connected (directly) at this time. However, Eye-fi has an application for the iPhone that will take iPhone photos and upload them over the internet to your computer. It works very well.
    Eye-fi transfers photos wirelessly from the camera/SD card to your wireless router, then over the internet to an Eye-fi server and then down to you computer. This process works well, too.
    Eye-fi comes with a USB adapter so that you can take the card out of your camera and "import" the photos to your computer
    Eye-fi will transfer photos to iPhoto but you must select this feature thru your Eye-fi "account".
    I wish Eye-fi connected directly to my computer over my local wifi network, but I could not determine how to do this.

  • IPod Touch not travel friendly - can't connect digital camera to it.

    I thought the iPod Touch would be perfect for any trip... Until I went on a trip with it.
    Why doesn't Apple design a USB interface for the iPod Touch that plugs into the bottom of the unit, allowing digital cameras to to connect via USB through PTP? Just like if you had connected it to a Mac? Then you could upload pictures and videos to Flickr and Youtube from the iPod Touch while you are traveling! All I want to take with me on my trips is my iPod Touch, and my digital camera.
    By the way, many hotels don't offer wifi, only ethernet! How about an ethernet adapter for the iPod Touch???

    They did do for some previous iPod models. But maybe it wasn't popular enough to continue development.
