HP Photosmart R847 Digital Camera
I've been very happy w/ my camera but now it won't come on when I lower the shutter door. I've made sure that it's fully charged, just unplugged it from an overnight charge. I've never had a problem with it until now. BTW, the little blue light is on which usually indicates that it's charged. With this particular camera the froint sides down for viewing on the opposite side, when you slide this door into down position that's when the camera is normally working and you can see the subject you're trying to photograph. In this case, when I pull the shutter door down, nothing lights up for viewing and yet the blue light is on. Please don't tell me to buy a new camera, I really like this one and can't afford another thing at this time.
Hello Lou,
I do not have your model camera so I need to make sure how it works.
The specs say the lens has 3x zoom capability. If so the lens physically extends from the camera when zoomed, correct?
Did this happened after you recharged the battery? Is it possible that the camera was left on causing the battery to die before you recharged it?
IF this happened, the lens did not retract all the way and will not let the camera turn on.
Also, if there is any dust down inside the grooves of the lens, this can also cause the lens to not close all the way.
Take the batteries and memory card out, leave the battery door open and let it sit for at least 20 minutes to fully discharge the capacitors.
Next, carefully try to push the lens back in all the way (Do not push on the glass).
Reinsert the memory card and batteries and turn it on.
If no joy, take the battery and card out again. Try to carefully push on the lens again. You may have to tap the sides a little to get the safety switch to connect with the lens inside.
Also you can cut a piece of paper to insert in around the groove of the lens and swipe around the lens shaft to loosen any debris that may be lodged at the base.
Then re-insert the battery and memory card, make sure the memory door, battery door and lens door cover are fully shut and turn the camera back on.
If none of this works, then I am sorry to say that camera is considered old now and its possible something else inside has went wrong. It most likely won't be cost effective to have it worked on at a shop.

HP Photosmart M627 Digital Camera Software Installation CD Compatible w/Windows 7
I switched from Windows XP to Windows 7 over a year ago, and the HP Photosmart M627 Digital Camera (Model L2420A) and the software CD originally installed was incompatible with Windows 7. Therefore, I haven't been able to upload pics from my camera to my computer to store and/or customize.
I have tried other photography software programs, however, I definitely prefer the software designed to work with my camera. Can anyone instruct on how to navigate the website (HP) to locate the same? Thanks in advance!

HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera driver for windows7

Hello jmitsis,
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand you are looking for Windows 7 drivers for your camera. Unfortunately, there are only drivers for Vista and XP, as indicated here: HP Photosmart R507 Digital Camera Drivers
You can try installing a Vista driver, and see if that works. You can also try running the software in compatibility mode. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

HP Photosmart M525 Digital Camera
Purchased a replacement camera for old M525 , believed I was ordering same exact one. When new camera arrived my old UBS cord doesn't fit new camera. New camera is HP Photosmart M525 / Model : SNPRB-0503 . Could someone please give me suggestion of which UBS cord is compatible with this or an item number of compatible cord. Thank you!
Hi Britney,
All I could find for you was this spec sheet. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00821556
It mentions a USB 2.0 cable for the requirements - so it should fit the standard ones, like the kind you need for a printer. However, just to be safe, I would recommend that you take the camera to a local electronics store, and buy a usb cable knowing for sure that it'll be compatible with the slot
Cheers,

HP Photosmart 945 Digital Camera
The batteries drain very quickly. Using high capacity 2700mAh NiMH batteries with intelligent charger.
Can only take 5-10 shots with flash with fully charged batteries. Earlier I could take more than 50 shots
before the batteries drained.
What could be the reason? Tried several brands of batteries with the same result.
Is there any Firmware update?
Can anyone help?

Please follow the below mentioned URL or link that will assist you to resolve the issue:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00614986&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=90099
However, if that does not resolve the issue, then it could be due to the camera hardware in which case you may have to replace the same. Repairing it usually is expensive and not an economic choice.
Hope this will provide you with some input regarding the issue that you are experiencing.
Sincerely,

HP Photosmart R707 Digital Camera
Hi, I still use the R707 camera I purchased years ago. I upgraded my computer to Win 7 and it indicates I need ADMIN RIGHTS to install the HP software. Is there an HP download, driver or something else that can be installed to override this annoyance? (the Win 7 issue is a big problem and almost unsolvable - tried it many different ways via microsoft).
Thanks!!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. -
Hp photosmart 315 digital camera
I am having trouble opening any album that I saved (.albm) says I have to "enable writing to the file by changing it's properties".....can't figure out how to do that or what that actually means. I now have windows 7. that may be what is screwing things up.
Hi 9gramma2,
I understand you are having difficulty opening your .albm files as you are getting a message that says "enable writing to the file by changing its properties". Try the following:
Click the Windows button in the bottom left corner of your desktop, and then click Computer.
Locate the file or folder you are interested in viewing. Right-click on the file or folder, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab, and then select the group or user you want any changes to apply to.
You will see a list of current permissions listed below. To edit, click the Edit button, and check the boxes to allow permissions for everything.
Try opening the file or folder.
I hope these steps are of help to you. The very best of luck to you. Have a wonderful day.

Hi,
When it syas unsupported card it means unsupported card. What is the brand, type and size of the card ? Can you use smaller capacity card(s) ? Many older cameras do not support high capacity, higher speed card form example the Nikon D50 DSLR camera, it only supports cards to 2GB.

How to make that god damn thing work?If you<ve only got pictures on that memory card, then I suggest trying to use a program like gtkam (if using GNOME) or digikam (if using KDE) or something similar to download the pictures.
I doubt that you could mount your camera as a partition, since the kernel doesn<t recognize a partition table on the device. -
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.

Device Manager had an exclamation point on yellow bkgr for MONITOR. Investigation showed 1187 Error Views, all apparently MS Installer errors, and somewhere I saw something about problems if later than Win 95, so some things must not have been updated with newer models. It says "Contact Vendor", which is HP.
I want to just UNINSTALL the fragment (?) of Photosmart C-20 digital camera/scanner that evidently did install, DON'T NEED IT ANYWAY and seems to be obstructing my 1310 Series (two All-in-Ones) copier/scanner.
Currently my 1310 Series All-in-One prints, but doesn't copy or scan, from the printer control panel, since trying to add the C-20 camera/scanner. My System Restore doesn't go as far back as when I tried to install this digital camera, so how do I just get rid of it and get back to normal? Would I need to also reinstall .NET framework 2.0, and my whole All-in-One? No problem, have disk. Thanks in advance. 10-19-12
This question was solved.
View Solution.My computer is a 2002 Compaq Presario, not a pre-95, XP Home, and sure, I'll share again how the problem was solved in case anyone looking for it missed it.
I have no idea how the WRONG MODEL SOFTWARE got downloaded , during the time period when .NETframeworks were being updated, but someone at CNET XP forum was actually the first to give me a link to clean out all components of the WRONG SOFTWARE, a/k/a a "scrubber". I'm keeping the Icon on my desktop in case this ever happens again.
Running the HP removal program was much easier than you would have thought from the instructions, to run and then reinstall each of "4 stages". I simply had to click FILE, and a long list of components came up which could all be deleted with one simple click! Including the four steps, which were at the bottom of the list.
Then I decided to clean the permanent Contacts on the 1310 Series All-in-One printer, had been using brand new cartridges but was always getting a popup that the color cartridge was incorrectly installed. The contacts just had some ink buildup so that it wasn't being read or recognized correctly. So, I reinstalled the correct software from my disk instead of a new download, in case there might have been some error still in that process. The red blinking cartridge light went off, and the copier and scanner started working again. I'm so happy. Love this printer. Once I received that link, it was all very simple. Hope this helps someone else. And that we elect the right President today. Probably working people need to be at the voting place first, so I'll wait a little while. Everyone have a good day. -
IPod Touch Recognized as a Digital Camera in Windows 7 (x64) - SOLUTION!
Hi guys
After several days I finally found the solution to this with some help from Apple 2nd level support.
Symptom: iPod Touch is not connecting to iTunes. Under My Computer you find the iPod as a Portable Device > Digital Camera
Cause: Windows 7 wasn't able to install the right Driver for your Touch.
Solution:
1. Uninstall all the Apple software via Control Panel:
- iTunes
- Quicktime
- Apple Software Update
- Apple Mobile Device Support
- Bonjour
- Apple Application Support
2. Delete all the directories related to Apple (Including Apple,iPod, iTunes, Quicktime and Apple Computer -if they are there-) under:
- C:\Program File\Apple
- c:\Program Files (x86)
- C:\users\<USER>\AppData\Local
- C:\users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming
3. Restart
4. Reinstall iTunes (Right click and run as Administrator) but THIS IS THE TRICK!! change the installation path to C:\program files\iTunes (Remove x86) !
5. Connect ipod
It will still be a Camera..don't worry..
6. Go to My Computer > right click > Manage > Device Managers > Find your ipod under the Portable Devices
7. Right Click > Update driver > Specific location and browse C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device support\Drivers
8. After succesfully installed this driver you will be able to see your iPod Touch in iTunes
Enjoy !

[solved] Digital Camera not recognized in device-manager
My digital camera "Canon Powershot SX120 is" is not recognized by the devicemanager. I have read Digital Cameras.
$ groups
wheel storage users printadmin
The "camera"-Group isn't needed anymore and this group doesn't exist on my system.
The Powershot SX 120 has a MTP/PTP connection mode (as the manual says). But:
# mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
gphoto succeed:
$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Modell Port
Canon PowerShot SX120 IS usb:002,019
A gphoto --summary could be found here
There is no udev-rule for this camera. If i create one while copying a rule from a similar camera from /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, and store it into /etc/udev/rules.d/69-canon.rules, the device-manager shows up. My udev-rule:
# Canon PowerShot SX120AX (PTP/MTP mode)
ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="31e0", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
The device-manager shows me only the option to open with a file-manager. Doing so will result in an error:
The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/ do not exist.
With my udev-rule:

Listening to add/remove events:

UDEV [5077.693035] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/2-8:1.0 (usb)
Don't know what to do ... is a udev-rule necessary to bring up the message from device-manger? Or is the Camera not recognized as a mtp-device (the Camera has no such settings)? How could i figure it out?
With Digikam i could import Fotos, but i would do so with gwenview. I've tried to check it out with gwenview_importer:
$ gwenview_importer --udi '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
(don't care about the different udi, i took this example from a former try) but i don't know, how to find out where the "source folder" is ...
Last edited by quiqueck (2014-02-26 20:10:25)I have solved this by making an extra udev-rule for my camera. See my adventure on forum.kde.org for details
