IPhoto and Digital Camera

Ever since I upgraded my iMac to OS 10.6.7, iPhoto does not recognize my digital camera. We did not upgrade iPhoto, which I understand may be the problem. The salesman who suggested the OS upgrade for better internet performance did not suggest that iPhoto needed to be upgraded, too. Everything works fine on my daughter's macbook, which we did not upgrade. Any suggestions? I have heard that the new version of iPhoto runs the risk of losing all my pictures.

What version of iPhoto are you using? What kind of camera? In any case, it is ImageCapture that actually imports the images. You can try running it directly. If worse comes to worse, you can use a card reader to get your pictures.

Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.

Compatible iPhoto 5 digital cameras

My camera was stolen and I need a new one but the Mac OSX Digital Camera support list does not include the new range of Nikon Coolpix cameras. Is the Coolpix P3 iPhoto compatible?

It's not actually answered, and I still haven't found the Apple page which would give me the list. But, hey, the camera I have does work with iPhoto 08 which I've just installed!

Zen Vision:M, Mediasource transfer problem and Digital Camera

It used to work. Norton 360 has made a mess of lots of things...
I can no longer transfer via Mediasource to my Zen Vision:M 60gb. I can view, play and rename files from Mediasource and I can transfer to the Vision:M via windows explorer (of course you don't get the benefits of gracenote or other tag modification programs). I have also noticed that on my XP "My Computer" the device shows up as both MY Zen (digital player) and and as Zen? DVP-HD004 as a Digital Camera. Is the digital camera piece related to the problem and/or normal?

The 60GB has a USB host feature for transfering pictures directly to the player that the 30GB does not have.Since the motherboard is not the same that makes sense.Have you tried turning off your Anti-Virus when you need to transfer files?

Problem with Aperture 2 and Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1

Has anyone using Aperture 2 experienced problems with the Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1. It may be purely coincidence but, since downloading this on March 3, I get the dreaded red screen and unsupported image format on my previously downloaded and edited RAW photos. I use a Pentax k-7 with which, once set up, I have had no problems until now!
Please - any help would be very gratefully received

That probably explains why any checks that your computer did to see if the Camera Raw update was okay to apply didn't stop it. You should probably contact Apple and explain that they broke something that was working fine previously.
A few people have reported backing off Camera Raw 3.1 and going back to Camera Raw 3.0 for now. This note is one of the ones I've found describing how to do that, if you wish to try that. Or, you could head down the path Apple means to lead you on and upgrade to Aperture 3.

New user of G4 - need advice on selection of printer, DV and digital camera

I am a recent convert to mac and need advice from experts on the following:
I plan to use my G4 MDD primarily for home computing, experimenting with digital photography, create DVDs and explore multimedia primarily as a hobby. Please advice me on selection of a decent digital camera and or a DV camera. I am not sure if I have a decent DV camera - whether this will be good enough for still photos as well. My G4 has firewire ports.
Also I am interested in buying a printer that I can use with my mac as well as connect to a two other windows systems. My printing needs are primarily documents and maybe photos.. I think that going in for a laser printer makes sense in terms of reliability .
I am not looking for the highend equipment - willing to spend upto 750 $ on all items. Thanks in advance.

raja,
welcome to discussions.
Digital Camera, DV camera and colour Laser Printer all for $750 ??
I'm afraid you'll have to go for an inkjet printer if you want colour photos. Expensive doesn't even begin to describe Colour Laser Printers. HP make good printers, but tend to be a bit more expensive to run, Epson make excellent photo printers, are are a bit more economical to run, take a look at the iP4000 and iP5000. I still use my old HP DeskJet 1200 (does A3), and a DeskJet 970Cxi (everyday), both use the same cartidges. These are about 7 years old, there are modern versions retailing now at about half of what I paid for these then(always the case).
Digital cameras can be decided by what purpose you intend to use them for. I have an 18 month old Nikon D100 digital SLR. 6M pixel (which was a lot then) but that might not matter, it takes Nikon lenses (and other manufacturer lenses to the same spec), so I can shoot with a 300mm, 400mm, 600mm lens. Nikon has a D50 out now, a cheaper, newer version of my camera. I can print A3 photo real from 6M pixels and with the right lens I don't need to crop my pictures too much. If you want to print photo real A4 (and that's a LOT of ink) a 3-4M pixel camera would be fine. Most cameras now are 5-8 M pixel, this is because the pictures they take have to be cropped drastically because they have an inadequate lens. On top of that my Nikon takes really great pictures, better than any of my other digi cameras (but not as good as my ancient Olympus 35mm muji-zoom compact with 200 film).
So if you're going to take a lot of close ups in well lit areas, product shots, interior shots with flash, ie. "snaps" rather than photography, any cheap digi camera will do. Good points are
- USB / Firewire connectivity,
- non-proprietry battery technology, ie. it uses 4 x recharable AAs instead of a battery that only fits that camera, and it comes with a AA recharger.
- non-proprietry storage technology, ie. it uses Compact Flash or some other that is used by a large portion of cameras, rather than just be that manufacturer.
- digital zoom is worthless.
If you're doing outdoor photography, wildlife, landscapes, etc, you may want something with a changeable lens and SLR technology, a digital SLR. Not all digital SLR cameras have changeable lenses. Same good points as above, but be prepared to sacrifice one of the points for a good camera. Heavy cameras are easier to hold steady with a big lens, so try for a metal case (it'll be coated in plastic anyway).
For outdoors the most important thing is the amount of light entering the camera (indoors you can control the lighting with flash / fitted lighting), digital SLRs can have enormous lenses (my 28mm hyperzoom lens has a 72mm diameter), compare this to a compact digital camera with a 12mm diameter lens, I take 36x the light of a compact. And it shows in the picture quality.
I'm a complete duffer with DV cameras so I won't lead you astray with this, but be aware some do offer the option to take digital pictures. Indeed some digital cameras can take low quality short movies.
Let us know if you have any more questions.

Deleting iMovie and Digital Camera (raw)

I don't do ANY raw digital camera shots or use iMovie. These two programs seem to draw more updates than anything else in OS X. I'm wondering if I can delete them and if so, would I lose any thing other than these 2 programs.

The Raw Camera support is not a separate program but is part of the OS. The file is not really all that large in the scheme of things and removing it might impact the operation of your system.
I would strongly suggest you don't do it. It use to be possible to ignore particular updates, not sure if it is still possible given the whole App Store thing.
iMovie is a different story. It is a separate application and removing it will not impact the system.

IPhoto and digital frames

I bought a Coby 7 in. digital frame for my wife for Mother's Day and have been going crazy since then trying to load photos from iPhoto onto a memory card for use on the frame (it has no internal memory). If I try to export the photos onto any type of memory card (either thru a card reader or by inserting a card into the frame and hooking that up) I get a message that my Mac was "Unable to create /Volumes" If I format the card thru disk utility then the export works (on the card reader at least) but the frame will not recognize the card when I insert it. Any ideas slash/help?

Thanks for the help. Luckily (this time anyway) I have a laptop for work that uses that other OS and the formatting issue solved the problem with the frame reading the card. However, I am still having issues copying the photos onto the card. I set up the temporary folder on my desktop with the images in it but I when I go to copy it onto the card I get a message that says "Sorry operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (Error Code - 50)" Any idea why the images will not copy onto the card?

Lion and iPhoto and Nikon Camera

Hello. I don't know if this is a Lion or iPhoto problem. So I'm posting this here. I have a Nikon Coolpix 990 camera. I took some photos today. When I attempted to import the photos to my iMac (2009, i7) running Lion with iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2, the camera wasn't recognized and I could not import my photos. However, when I connected the camera to my Macbook Pro late 2008 running Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 version 7.1.5, the camera was recognized and the import was successful. I rebuilt my iMac's iPhoto library but I have not attempted to sync my camera to it as I deleted the photos. Why was I unable to import the photos to my iMac?
zoz

The pictures were able to be uploaded to iPhoto using a card reader. Apparently, in Lion, support from Nikon is no longer provided.

IMovie and Digital Camera Recording

I was able to use a digital video camera as a passthrough to burn copies of old family film (VHS). I am running OS 10.9 and iMovie 10.0.1 and can't get any recorded video. It says it is recording, but I am not getting any available clips from it. Please help.

The Raw Camera support is not a separate program but is part of the OS. The file is not really all that large in the scheme of things and removing it might impact the operation of your system.

IPhoto and Ricoh cameras

I'm thinking of buying the Ricoh Caplio R6, now it says on the Ricoh website that the camera is mac compatable as a mass storage device. What i really need to know is. If i connect this camera to my iMac will iPhoto launch and will i be able to import photos straight from camera into iPhoto?

For what it's worth, my Ricoh Caplio GX-100 will download to iPhoto (though iPhoto refuses any RAW images).

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Problems with Preview and Digital Camera

Hi All,
I bought a Konica Minolta DImageX1 camera and the first few pics I took and downloaded them onto my ibook ans view them on Preview everything was alright. However, everytime I now transfer pictures to my laptop and when I view them with Preview it displays the following message:
"Preview cannot display the image properly. The file may be corrupt. Reason: Can't cache file". After this the image is loaded anyway.
But when I transfer the pictures to my Windows PC and I view them there, I get no warning message. And I downloaded an Image Viewer freeware from Versiontracker.com and it gave no warning message as well.
Any suggestions as to what could cause this problem with Preview?
Thank you in advance,
Eder

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.
