Installing Canon photo software

I am tring to install Canon's photo software that came with the Canon SLR I bought. I can't load the software on my 10.3.9 OSX Mac. When I click the Canon EOS Digital Installer icon, it says it's preparing to install the ImageBrowser (I guess that's the first program in its list) and comes back and says Not Authorized to Write to this folder. So I can't load any of the software.
Canon support says I have to disable security (not the most helpful help). I didn't know I could do that. Any ideas?

You probably don't need to install any software from Canon to use your camera with your computer unless you want to. When you plug the camera into the Mac, does it see it? Likely it will offer you some options on what to use to access the photos on the camera.
My personal preference is to use Image Capture and not iPhoto since I don't like programs controlling my photos. Instead I use Image Capture to download the photos to my hard drive and I use my own folder system to sort them.
But anyway, back to your question. Is the account you are using on your Mac the administator account? Do you have multiple accounts on the computer? If not, try restarting the computer and hold down the SHIFT key until you see the SAFE BOOT screen. After it boots up try installing. Safe Mode simply loads the operating system and not any of the auto loading applications that might be starting up with your computer.

How do I install canon camera software on my macbook air?

I recently bought a canon dslr, but I can't install the editing software that came along with it because I do not have a cd drive (macbook air). Can it be installed through Remote Disk?

Good question. The Remote Disk is used mainly for installing software. It does not work for watching movies.
From the document referened:
Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
DVD movies.
Audio CDs.
Copy protected discs such as game discs.
Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
Burn a CD or DVD

I have iphoto 4.0.3. Should i install canon a630 software?

Hi. I have the new digital camera Canon a630 that has its own software that claims to install pictures in the pictures folder. Should I install this soft ware or just use a media card reader...in order to keep iphoto as thephoto organizer of choice on my desktop. I haven't upgraded it as it has all I need!!
Thanks in advance.
Lisa

Thanks SMTR! I did get the image browser on the softward CD - and I've never had a camera that does the videos so thanks for the great tips!
Either of yours or EWWs answers really did address my question but eww got there first so I said he solved it! I always worry about "hurting things"!
original ? > Lisa,
If you like iPhoto, I do recommend using a card
reader for importing directly into iPhoto. It makes
things so easy. I've read that iPhoto 4 can choke on
video clips from newer cameras, so you might want to
import them separately from your photos with a
different application ( Image Capture or the Canon
software).
Did your camera come with ImageBrowser? I have a
version of that. It's a file browser, so mostly
incompatible with iPhoto (since you are not supposed
to mess around with the files in the iPhoto library
folder). However, I keep it for occasional, specific
uses. I like how it plays video clips right in the
main window. And it has a really cool utility called
MovieEditTask that can stitch together video clips
and do light editing. It lets you rotate a video clip
90 degrees, which iMovie does not do. I have used it
for light video editing before importing into iMovie
and was pleased with the results.
Anyway, I agree with eww- it's free, it won't hurt
anything, so you might as well give it a whirl.

Canon photo software

Is there a version of PHOTOSTITCH and or ZOOMBROWSER for Mac [Snow Leopard]?

Check the software websites. System requirements should be listed.

Canon Printer Software 2.3 from Apple: now lists two printers

ISSUE:
I recently ran Apple Software Update, and it installed *Canon Printer software update 2.3*. I now have 2 Canon iP4300 printers in my printer list (System Prefs/Print & Fax) and in all print dialogs.
Is it OK to delete one?
These are listed:
Canon iP4300 (original)
Canon iP4300-1 (newly added and now shown as the "default" printer)
*_2nd QUESTION: EVERYTHING THE SAME EXCEPT..._*
Everything prints as usual without problems (regardless of which printer I choose), and the options and features of both listed printers appear to be the same. But there is one minor difference I want to check. In System Preference/Print & Fax, I click the "Options & Supplies" button to give me more info about the selected printer.
Canon iP4300 (the original) shows this:
Queue name: Canon_iP4300
*URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?serial=A2BD20*
Canon iP4300-1 (the newly added printer) shows this:
Queue name: CanoniP43001
*URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?location=26200000*
Does anyone know what these URLs signify and why are they different?
Thanks so much.
+P.S. I had installed all the latest drivers for my printer from the Canon web site BEFORE installing Canon update 2.3 from Apple.+

The previous driver version was 10.26.0.0, which I had downloaded from Canon. (The Canon Canada Downloads site does not show a 10.26.1 for this model; the most recent is 10.26.0 -- honest; I just double-checked it today.)
The 10.26.1 driver was included with the 10.6.3 (build 10D575). Canon Australia is also only showing 10.26.0 also so I'm not sure where the .1 update came from. The vendor supplies the files to Apple so it seems that Canon has not updated their driver links to show even the latest 10.30.3.0 driver they have supplied to Apple for this model, although they have done so for other models.
Anyway, let me remedy my omission by showing all that is listed for each printer's info (System Prefs > Print & Fax > Options & Supplies > "General Tab"):
*Canon iP4300 (the original) shows this:*
Name: Canon iP4300
Location: LAB's Computer
Queue name: Canon_iP4300
Driver version: 10.30.3.0

*Canon iP4300-1 (the newly added printer) shows this:*
Name: Canon iP4300-1
Location: LAB's Computer
Queue name: CanoniP43001
Driver version: 10.30.3.0
URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?location=26200000
Thanks for the extra information. I would say now that due to the different URL of iP4300-1, the Mac believes that it is connecting to two physically different printers, hence both printer queues being present. However I have never seen a USB connected device show its URL with "location=". I have always seen it as serial for USB connections. Do you have some other device connecting between the Mac and the iP4300, such as a USB hub?
Given that both queues work and are both using the latest driver, then I suggest it would be safe to delete the iP4300-1 print queue. Although there is every chance that it may return automatically after a restart of the Mac or printer.

Trouble installing Digital Photo Professional and other Canon software

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install several software programs on a new iMac without any success. My machine is the 20" Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X 10.4.8. I am attempting to install Canon's Digital Photo Professional version 1.0 and the EOS Digital Solutions version 7.0 (original equipment with my 1D mkII - will upgrade after installation). During the installation of DPP the process will stop while "configuring installation". I then receive a message that "There were errors installing the software. Please try installing again."
When operating the Canon EOS Digital Installer on the Solutions disk I receive the message "Not authorized to write to this folder".
As I am attempting to install this software under the administrative account, the error message for the Solutions disk puzzles me.
Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem is or where to begin troubleshooting?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kevin

You may need to download the latest version (2.2.2).
It runs fine on my iMac C2D. Version 2.2.2 is also Universal Binary.
The only hitch you may have is the upgrade checks for an installed version. I'm not sure if it will accept the CD as an upgrade.
Where did I download it from? That I'm not certain of! I did a long search on Google & finally ran across a Japanese Canon site that had it.
If you can't install to upgrade, try installing it on a PPC Mac, install the update, then drag & drop the installed file to your new Mac.

After installing the last software update, my printer (an Epson Stylus Photo R1800) immediately ceased to function. How do I fix this?

Try resetting the printing system.
Reset Printing System
Network printer or attached to the computer?

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
Get it from:
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i- SENSYS_LBP5000.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:13-920158&os=OS%20X%20v10 .9&language=
It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

Easy-Photo software will not save file!

Help! I have been using Canon Easy-Photo software for several years now, but in the last few months it has developed a problem where it will no longer save my files. When I finish and print a DVD, then SAVE, it comes back with the error "Failed to Save the File."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times, but this does not solve the problem. I just today installed it again (after uninstalling), this time from the disc that came with my new MG7120. Same problem! I went online and downloaded what should be the latest version (4.5) and installed that one - still won't save.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OOOOOhhhhhh! The problem must have arisen around the time I updated to WIN 8.1 - not that the program has problems in 8.1, but because I finally got around to changing my normal user profile into a non-admin type profile. If I run the software as an administrator, I can save files.
Well, maybe the problem will happen to someone else and this will help them!

Can't launch Canon camera software or Image Capture

New Macbook Air. Used migration from a Powerbook G4 that had 10.5.2 installed on it. I now can't launch my Canon CameraWindow software - I get "No camera attached." I also can't get ImageCapture to work. IC will open and seem to download the photos to the desktop but they don't appear on the desktop. I can't find them anywhere. Both software apps work fine on the G4 and also on my regular MacBook. The ImageCapture sees the camera and even tells me how many photos are on it. System Profile sees the Canon attached to the USB.

Be sure your Canon software runs on Intel platforms. You were using a PPC before. Most, if not all PPC software is not Leopard compatible. You need all new apps for these things when you run an Intel-based system.

N97 unable to install nokia photos

Hi
Im having a problem with installing nokia photos on pc. tried it from a cd and by download neither worked
i also have that microsoft framework needed as they say but still nothing Any suggestions ?
thx very much

Error code 1722 is an indication that some Windows Installer custom action failed to run. Could you download http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/nseries/phones/software/NokiaPhotosMultilingual.exe and run it with command line: NokiaPhotosMultilingual.exe /V"/L*v C:\Setup.log" ? Analysing the log file should give us a hint which custom action failed and why.

Is Snow Leopard compatible with Canon camera software?

Since I loaded Snow Leo some time ago, now the Canon Camera Window software gives me 'failed to initialize program', so that I can't download pics from the PowerShot A1000 IS. With Leopard, it worked the first time and fine. I have upgraded from the Canon site, done the TS suggested by Canon, to no avail. They say no drivers needed. Help! Thank you! Mark

Wow, you have no idea how helpful this answer is! After my upgrade to SnowJob, my Canon camera software wouldn't work. This in and of itself was not a problem, since I don't want any "help" with downloading, viewing, and organizing my photos. All I wanted to do was get them from the camera to the system, which is exactly what Image Capture does. Thanks!!!!

Can't install canon pixma mp 980 for wireless printing

I've installed the canon pixma software for the mp 980 and ran the connection test and got a very good connection. When I try to add the printer , I've clicked on "More Printers" and it scanned to look for drivers and didn't come back with any results. I can't get the printer to show up in the list of available printers.
My Macbook is connected to the LAN wirelessly and the printer has been set up to print wirelessly. I have a Windows machine on the network that can print to the printer.
Any suggestions?

It could be a WPA key issue but I have never had such a problem with my MP980 to confirm this. You could try temporarily disabling the encryption and then seeing if the printer can be found. Note that you will have to reconnect the printer via USB to set the changes in the machine.
If disabling the encryption does not help, then I would ensure that you can ping the IP address of the MP980. If you don't get a reply, then it would indicate that something went wrong with the network setup and this is why the device is not seen in the More Printers > Canon IJ Network menu.
If you do get a response, then there could be something blocking the advertising of the printer, such as the internal firewall of the Mac. This has to be set to 'Allow all incoming connections' for the printer to be seen.
