IPhoto '09 GPS-ready cameras

Can anybody find a list of GPS-ready cameras that will be able to send its data to the new iPhoto? I can only find the Nikon used in the demo. BTW, they need to create an iPhoto '09 Forum.

Google gives very few results leading me to believe most cameras don't have the capability.
In regards to the forum...In my opinion, in makes sense to have an iPhoto '09 forum right now because people may be making decisions about cameras etc. right away based on the future iPhoto. If it is feasible for me to find a camera with GPS, I'll hold off on my purchase. If this is just a gimmick for very few users having pricey cameras, I'll go ahead and buy the one I've decided on. I've already seen at least 3 posts about iPhoto '09 based on decisions people are making.
BTW, the demo says "many cameras currently offer GPS info gathering" or something to that extent. A bit misleading if I can't find any.

Iphoto doesn't see camera under different logins

iphoto recognizes my new Nikon camera when I am logged in (administrator) but does not see the camera when one of my kids is logged in. They can access and use iphoto and the usb sees the camera with system profiler when they are logged in, but i photo does not. Image Capture is also set to open iphoto when a camera is connected. Any ideas on what to try to get iphoto to see the camera when they are logged in? I even tried putting iphoto in the shared folder with no luck. It's driving me crazy. Thanks.

IPhoto not recognizing the camera

I'm in MacOS Lion and using IPhoto 8.1.2. Just bought an Olympus C7070 with no software disc. The website-provided download for Mac cannot install. Is there a way to get IPhoto to recognize the camera without the software?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhoto won't recognize camera for new user

I recently set up a user account for my daughter with "Some Limits" selected. She has access to almost all apps, including iPhoto 4.03. When she connects our Canon PowerShot SD100 camera neither iPhoto nor Image Capture recognize it. When I'm logged in as an administrator the camera is recognized and works fine with both apps. The iPhoto Library is in the Hard Drive\Users\Shared folder. "Look for Shared Photos" and "Share Entire Library" preferences are selected in iPhoto in both my daughter's and my admin accounts. How can I get iPhoto to recognize the camera when my daughter is logged in?

Neither would I. Remembered a problem with a limited account similar to this. Then looked it up in SUPPORT for iPhoto

What update are you referring to? If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras.
So far there's no known fix. The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?

I have an older imac with os10.4.11. Will it transfer images from newer digital camera using my iphoto when on the camera box it specifies a mac os of 10.5 or above?mo

I have an older imac with OSX 10.4.11. Will it transfer images from newer digital cameras on to my computer via my iphoto program when the camera box states that the required mac OS is 10.5 or above or is that only if you wish to load the camera manufacturers own image processing program?

Which camera are you speaking about?
Why are you on such an old version on OS X?
With the information provided, I am inclined to say, no.

Is it possible to upload pictures from iPhoto to my digital camera?

Anybody know if it is possible to upload pics from iphoto to my digital camera? I have a Canon ixus.

Yes it is, but you'll need a USB Card Reader. Canon Cameras don't mount in the Finder. It's a "feature" of the brand. So, take the card from the camera and pop it into a USB Card Reader. Now it will appear on the Desktop like any disk. Then simply export the pics from iPhoto (File -> Export) and copy them to the Card.

How to send from IPhoto to GPS coordinates?

how to send from IPhoto to GPS coordinates?

Do you wish to locat a photo using Lat/Long? See iPhoto Help
Add places to your photos
If you have photos that don’t have GPS information, including print photos that were scanned to a disk, you can still map your photos in Places.
https://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/help/index.html?lang=en#
Watch the movie (about 2 minutes)
View and organize photos using Places
iPhoto matches recognizable location names you enter, such as “Seattle” or “Milan,” to a mapping database. When you add a location to a single photo or an entire Event, those photos are marked on the Places map.
Or, if you have latitude and longitude information for the place where you shot your photos, you can use that information to add the location.
Important: You must be connected to the Internet for the Places feature to show photo locations on the map.
Show
To add a place name:
Hide
To use latitude and longitude to add a place:
Select the photo or Event you want to add location information to.Tip: If you select an Event, the location is added to every photo in that Event. But you can add locations to selected photos without adding locations to them all. To do so, select the photos you want, move your pointer over them, and then click the Info button. Skip to step 3.
Click the Info button to open the Information pane.
Select “Assign a Place,” and then type the latitude and longitude, separated by a comma.For example, you can type “24, -110” or, if you prefer, you can use a longer format, such as “24.15988731, -110.50838234.”It’s important to always put the latitude first.
Look at the map to confirm the location, and then do one of the following:
If the location is correct, continue to step 5.
If the location is incorrect, retype the latitude and longitude, or drag the pin to a more exact location on the map.You can use the plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out, and drag the map to center it on a better spot.Note: You can move marker pins only in the small map that appears below Places in the Information pane. You can’t drag marker pins on the full-size Places map.
If you want, you can view the location marked on the full Places map by clicking the arrow next to the location name.

How do i sync photos from my iPhoto to my iPhone camera roll?

I want to sync my 'last 12 months' album only iPhoto into my iPhone camera roll. But whenever i try it makes it a separate album.

You don't.
Camera roll is temporary storage for pics taken with the iPhone. You should be importing these to your computer regularly.
When you sync photos from your computer, they go into the Photo Library under the folder name that you chose to sync.

IPhoto 09, Nikon D90 Camera and GP1 GPS unit

I own a Nikon D90 camera, and have just ordered a Nikon GP 1 GPS unit to use with it. I was wondering if there was anybody in the forum with this setup already, and what experience they are having using it with iPhoto 09. I have written Nikon, and am going to write Apple, with this question, but was hoping there might be somebody that already had the answer and experience in the forum. Any help would be appreciated, thank you, Jim C.
Dual 1 Gig G4, 2 X500 Gig HD, 1.5 Gig Memory Mac OS X (10.5.6)

I am using Jobo photoGPS ( alias Geotate Kato) together with Canon EOS450D with to my great satisfaction.
It works with any camera having a flash-shoe; very small unut, excellent battery life.
Raw GPS data is recorded; you need a PC(now on the mac too) to match photos and GPS-data which is then written into EXIF. Diffferent from other units, the clock on this one does not need to be exactly synchronised with the camera.
Importing these photos into iPhoto'09 works without any problems: they are automatically placed in the correct location.
On the other hand, I have enormous problems with loading the maps; they're loade only partly, extremely slowly or not at all. The longer I work in iPhoto, the worse it gets up to complete blocking.
Looks to me very much like a memory-leak. I already contacted Apple: no response.
Restating the Mac temporarily solves/betters the problem.
Any clues?

IPhoto and GPS

I am considering the purchase of a Sony GPSCS3KA "Image Tracker". This device writes GPS info to the JPG files on an SD card or Memory Stick. Unfortunately I don't have those cards in my camera.
The software that comes with the device is "Windows Only". I will be running the Sony software within the Parallels Desktop or Bootcamp which will write the info to the jpegs files that I import.
My question is this: Will the Geotagging information written by the Sony windows software be recognized by iPhoto places?
A bit convoluted but there you are.

Mike:
The metadata is stored in the database file and is not written to the image file until it is exported out of iPhoto with the option to include keywords activated. Then it has to be imported into iPhoto for it to be recognized. A good feature to suggest to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
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. 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.

How do I disable iPhoto from switching to camera on launch?

Right now, iPhoto defaults to switching to the import view when it launches if my iPhone is already connected to the computer. (I've already set the "Connecting camera opens" setting to "No application"... doesn't help... anyway, that's not the behavior annoying me.) I would prefer the default behavior for it to show me my library, or the last photos I was viewing, when I launch the app if a camera is previously plugged in... or to at least let me choose what to do before trying to load all the thumbnails off the camera. Is there a way to modify something to change this behavior?

Afraid not.

Photos not showing up in photo stream after being imported to iPhoto from a DSLR camera?

I have a DSLR camera and for the longest time, I would import photos from a shoot to iPhoto and after about 20 minutes they would have all shown up in my photo stream on my Mac and my iPhone. But recently, the photos will not show up on either photo stream and trying to share a new photo stream with myself never works. Help?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

IPhone 4.0 GPS and camera

Hi,
I have two questions about the iPhone 4.0. I would like to get input from users.
1 - GPS
I read that the iPhone 4.0 has the same GPS chip than the iPad. Is it a stand alone GPS? I mean... if I have no phone data link and no Wi-Fi, can I still use the GPS? Or is it like older models where it uses triangulation with the 3G?
2 - Camera
Ok, there is a flash on the iPhone 4.0 for photography. My question is the following: can you change the aperture or shutter speed with the built-in application for taking photos or a third-party app?
Thanks.

Yes, really.
The iPhone includes a dedicated GPS receiver - always has, and also uses A-GPS or assisted GPS. The assisted part via cell tower location or wi-fi helps to speed up the initial GPS acquisition only.
When you use a GPS system and you turn it on, it needs to find orbit and clock data for the relevant satellites, this in turn results in what is called TTFF, or Time To First Fix—how long before you get your location pinpointed. This initial TTFF is often called a “cold start” and on SiRF III systems (the latest GPS systems available), it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes to acquire a signal. That time is dependent on your location, amount of interference and horizon information: open fields are faster than canyons or urban environments where buildings can interfere with the satellite-receiver line of site.
But when you use assisted GPS this whole process is much faster. Very often cellular network towers have GPS receivers (or a base station nearby) and those receivers are constantly pulling down satellite information and computing the data. This data is then passed on to the cellular phone (when requested) and acts like a “cheat” since the relevant satellites to your location are already identified and all that GPS computations is handled by 3rd party computers.
Maps data is not stored locally with the Maps app included with the iPhone. An internet connection is required to download the maps data for a particular location. If you don't have cellular service, the GPS radio will work but the initial acquisition will take longer and unless you are using a GPS app with maps data stored locally on the iPhone, you won't have maps data available.
