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?

  • Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
    Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
    If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
    What is your screen resolution?

  • I am trying to download my photos into I photo with my new Nikon S6300 camera and keep getting the message  The file could not be imported the file is unrecognizable format had no problems with my Canon camera

    Trying to download my pictures to IPhoto with my new Nikon S6300 camera keep getting the message the file could not be imported as the file is unreconizable format. I had no problem with my old Canon camera. Please help

    I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
    However today I tried to download six photos.
    None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
    Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
    However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
    (1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
    (1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
    (2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
    (3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
    (4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
    (4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
    (5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
    (6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
    (7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
    Conclusion:
    Not the camera
    Not the cable
    Not the hub
    Must remove bad photo from the card
    However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
    Any idea why this is happening now?
    Thank you

  • There was a problem downloading your video to iPhoto from Nikon D3100 Camera

    Hi, so I have a youtube channel and I've been trying to import my videos over from my camera and it says there was an error and it could not be downloaded, the same thing happens on image capture, i also keep getting a  notification that my startup disk is almost full and i went from 3,000 pictures to 370 and i deleted all of my downloads and it still tells me this what do i do? please help!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • I have a new Nikon S6300 camera and can import photos from the camera to iPhoto without loading camera software program. However, I can't get the photos to go into an event or into the photos part of iPhoto like they have done with my Canon camera.

    Is there are problem between Nikon and iPhoto program as I can get photos to go beyond the "last import" stage.

    If you have imported the photos then they are in an Event or Photos because every photo is in these places.
    Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
    If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere,  just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

  • Nikon D5000 camera and Elements 5.0

    I cannot load pictures from a Nikon D5000 into Elements 5.0 through a card reader.  Elements hangs up and refuses to transfer the jpeg pictures.  How can that be solved?

    I cannot load pictures from a Nikon D5000 into Elements 5.0 through a card reader.  Elements hangs up and refuses to transfer the jpeg pictures.  How can that be solved?
    It would be helpful to let us know exactly how you tried to "load pictures from a Nikon D5000 into Elements 5" (i.e. what steps did you take), the error message that you received, or exactly what happens on your screen when "Elements hangs up and refuses..."
    There should be no problem importing .jpg photos from any camera into Elements, so we need more information to help you.
    Question: are you sure you shot .jpg photos? Is it possible you shot Raw photos?

    but just so you know the camera is a pain, a lot of problems with it, charging, picture quality, it's just easier to get a canon

  • Nikon D90 and CS2

    Now that I bought a new Nikon D90 camera, I started trying to take photos using Nikon's RAW mode (.NEF). However, my Photoshop CS2 cannot open them the .NEF files. I have read on these forums about downloads that are available for different Photoshop versions and different cameras, but don't know which download would apply to my Nikon/Adobe combination. The Nikon D90 is not listed. Your help would be appreciated. (I use Windows XP.)

    Your camera was released long after development for Photoshop CS2 and ACR 3.x had been discontinued. There will never be direct support for your raw files in Photoshop CS2. You would be wise to upgrade to Photoshop CS4, which does support your camera, and ACR is much more robust. If that is not an alternative then you should download the latest version of the DNG converter and use it to convert your NEF files to DNG files. Then you will be able to want to those files in Photoshop CS2 using ACR 3.7.
    I should have known that Ramon would beat me to it. :)

  • Lightroom 4.1 won't recognize my supported Nikon camera and lenses under "Lens Corrections"?

    Develop Module-Under Lens Corrections, Enable Profile Corrections, Lightroom 4.1 won't auto recognize my Nikon D5000 camera and lenses even though they ARE supported.  When I manually choose Nikon in this widow, I can only get 8 of the multitude of supported Nikon lenses to show in the drop down.  Of these 8 lenses, none match any of my lenses.  How do I fix this?  I would like to be able to click the check box for "Enable Profile Corrections" and have it auto recognize my camera and lens.
    Here is my history:
    I shoot in RAW
    This is a new install of Lightroom 4.1 on a new computer with all updates installed.
    I'm running Win 7 64bit
    I previously used Lightroom 3 on a different computer and it worked great with Lightroom 3
    I'm a REALTOR that uses Lightroom to edit my photos, not a pro.  So, please give answers that a non-pro can understand.  I am really hoping there is some simple answer to my problem.
    I did search the help file first and couldn't find an answer.
    Thank you in advance for the help!!

    OMG... I'm such a nit-wit!!  I switched the setting in my camera to try something and forgot to swith it back!
    I've been digging through this for more that an hour and never bothered to check the file setting. 
    Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Nikon D90--What Do I Need to Upload?

    I am considering buying a Nikon D90 camera. The online discussion of this camera with Macintosh computers runs the full spectrum from No Problems to Numerous and Unpredictable Problems. What this tells me is that some D90 owners, and maybe most, are managing OK uploading to iPhoto. I note that the D90 RAW file format is on the support list for 'late model' OS10.5.x and 10.6.x.
    I have a couple of practical questions: (1) Is there a simple setup (my user needs are basic) that will reliably allow me to upload photos that I just shot, into my iMac running 10.6.2? (2) Will this setup allow me to use Nikon's software for in-camera adjustments, or will I not have that functionality?
    My intent--at least initially--is to store and image-edit these photos using iPhoto '09.
    All help and suggestions appreciated! Mainly looking for a hardware setup and procedure that will work every time, and not turn into a vision quest or compatibility nightmare.

    Plug the camera into the Mac.
    or
    Put the card from the Camera into a USB Card Reader and plug that into the Mac.
    Launch iPhoto (If it doesn't do it automatically.)
    Import.
    iPhoto doesn't work with Nikon's Camera Profiles. You can probably get them working with Aperture 3.

  • Why does Camera Raw 6.7.1 w/ Photoshop CS5 not convert raw files from a Nikon D610 camera?

    I just upgraded  my Nikon D90 camera to a D610.  I've been using Adobe Bridge to manage my photos made with the D90, and Camera Raw 6.3 to convert the raw files for use in Photoshop CS5.  The new D610 writes different raw files, so I upgraded Camera Raw to the latest version (6.7.1) which is said to be compatable with the latest Nikon cameras. 
    The D90 files still convert fine with Camera Raw 6.7.1, but the raw files from the D610 cannot be read.  Does anyone have any insight into why not?
    Thanks,
    JoelP

    There will not be another update for Camera Raw 6.x which is the version that is compatible with Photoshop CS5. So you will not have a way to natively open your NEF files from the Nikon D610.  But you can download the DNG converter (version 8.3 RC) from Adobe Labs and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. And then you can use those with the Camera Raw that you already have. Other alternatives would be to upgrade to Photoshop CC, or Photoshop Elements 12, or add Lightroom to your workflow. If you choose Lightroom you would have to use the 5.3 release candidate at this point to have support for your camera. It will, of course, be supported in the final version of Lightroom 5.3 as well as all subsequent versions of Lightroom.

  • Cannot Open Nikon D90 Raw files in Photoshop Elements 7

    Does anyone have advice on how to get Photoshop Elements 7 to read Nikon D90 Camera Raw (.NEF) images? When I try to open one of these Raw images, I get an error message saying that the program does not recognize that file type.

    The D90 was supported as early as ACR 5.1 so you should download the PSE-specific version of ACR 5.6 from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ via the drop-down list at the top, and following the PSE-specific link and instructions.

  • Nikon D90 Updates for Lightroom 1.4 & Photoshop CS3

    Does anyone know when Adobe will provide updates to read Nikon D90 Camera Raw files for Lightroom 1.4 & Photoshop CS3? Based on what I have heard from the Nikon forum Lightroom & Photoshop cannot read the D90 raw files. I was planning on upgrading my camera, but there is no point if I can't read the files.
    Thanks,
    Bevan

    OK, let me see if I'm following along here:
    The D90 produces an new kind of NEF file, different even from the D3 or D300 on which the D90 is (more or less?) based?
    We will have to wait patiently for Adobe to create an update for both ACR and LR2, which should happen within 60-90 days (allowing for 4 times/yr). Could be as soon as October, since Photokina is at the end of September.
    OK, my D80 still works great in the meantime.
    Where I am getting a tad confused though is re: the "DNG" conversion. I understand that is a universal "digital negative" format supported by Adobe, and that NEF files from Nikon DLSRs can be converted to DNG -- that's an option when importing into Lightroom.
    But, if Lightroom can't read a D90 NEF file, how can it convert it to a DNG?
    Thanks,
