Iphoto and image capture not recognizing kodak camera

Hello!
I am having trouble uploading photos from my Kodak easyshare dx4530 to iphoto 6.0.5. This is a new thing as I have uploaded many times before. The camera is not recognized by iphoto or by image capture when the usb is connected. The camera and usb work fine when connected to my husband's ibook G4.
I tried moving the preferences to the trash (com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.imagecaptureapp.plist) and this did not work. There is only 1 account on the computer and it is the admin account.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

pb35:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the camera recognized by System Profiler? Did you run any updates before this problem began? A first cut would be a reinstall of the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
I'd create a second, non-admin, very vanilla account and see if the camera is recognized there by iPhoto or IC. A second plain account is a very good troubleshooting tool to see if the problem is with what's been added to the primary account.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

IPhoto and Image Capture does not see the iPhone as a camera

Whether I launch iPhoto or Image Capture, in both cases the iPhone is not recognized as a camera. I am running firmware 1.1.1. I am afraid up upgrade to 1.1.3 because I do not want to lose my pictures. This was working at one point, but now it is not. I have no problems syncing music and video content within iTunes. I recently used migration assistant to move my home folder to my new Mac Pro running leopard. I am not sure if this is when it stopped working. I also tried using the Tiger machine at work, but the same thing happens there as well in both apps. Is there anything anyone can suggest?

This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
"Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
The file in question is under your user folder.
I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

Preview and Image Capture Not Recognising Scanner

Preview and Image capture have stopped recognising my networked Canon MX350 scanner. It seemed to occur after I used PhotoScore to scan some sheet music but that could be coincidence. I deleted the scanner driver and reinstalled it from the Canon website together with the MP Navigator software, and I am now able to scan from MP Navigator but not Image Capture or Preview. I have run Software Update but no updates are available.

Apple's official documentation only provides an information about printing by using this device - scanner is not listed. I would suggest to look for specific drivers on Canon's official webpage.

IPhoto and Image Capture won't recognize jpegs

Ok, yes I know this has been discussed, but I feel the solutions in previous threads were work arounds, not solutions to the actual problem.
I have a Kodak digital camera, and a MacBook pro (with the software up to date). I'm using iPhoto '09. I've used this combination for 3+ years without a problem. In the past when I plugged in my camera, iPhoto recognized the camera, and recognized the photographs, and imported them without a problem. Today when I plugged in the camera, it iPhoto recognized the camera, however it cannot recognize the jpegs on the camera, it gives the error "format not recognized." I have not (intentionally) changed any settings on the camera or iPhoto. What could have changed to make this combination work once before, but now no more?

In your first post you say:
Ok, yes I know this has been discussed, but I feel the solutions in previous threads were work arounds, not solutions to the actual problem.
Correct. They are workarounds. There is no current solution.

Why does image capture not recognise mac camera

When i go onto image capture, it says there are no camera's or scanners. How do I find the original camera that came with the mac (there is definitely a camera on the mac)? Is this possible?

Image capture is for importing/copying images off a camera memory card or from a scanner. It doesn't activate the built in camera. For that open Photo Booth.

Videos taken with iphone 4 imported as jpegs to iphoto and image capture???

extremely annoying problem. When I try to import the videos I shoot with my iphone 4 they upload to my mac as jpegs. ie. the movie file looks like this IMG_0102.MOV and when I click the file a picture opens in preview rather than the movie opening in quicktime.

It sounds like it could be a file permissions issue. Try repairing the permissions of the hard drive from within Disk Utility and rebooting the Mac.
You'll probably find that it's not just the iPad that is affected. If you were to remove the videos from your camera roll on the iPhone you would probably run into the same problem when trying to sync them back from iPhoto.
PS do you have a previous backup of the iPhoto library? If so try setting the backup as your main iPhoto library and then see if that syncs to your iPad.

My iMac will no longer import .jpg files. With either iPhoto or image capture

Can someone tell me why iPhoto and Image Capture say that .jpg is no longer a supported format. I've imported hundreds of photos from my camera before and now I can't. I noticed this after I had placed the SD card in my Panasonic Viera TV to view the photos. Is it possible that the TV screwed up the formating on the SD card? I'm still able to view them on the camera, but unable to import them.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem does not repeat itself in the test library then your current library is the culprit.
If that's the case try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Since upgrade to Iphone ios6 (4S), I can not import any videos to iPhoto or Image Capture

Hi there. I have had numberous problems with my upgrade to IOS6, particularly with the Camera/Photos. Two big ones: The camera does not orient itself properly when taking horizontal photos. You take a horizontal photo and it never rotates properly. So I have to go into Photo Shop and rotate each one manually. Sometimes it does not recognize horizontal from vertial when taking as well.
Also, I can not download ANY videos to iphoto or via Image Capture. The error I get for every video (both new videos shot after upgrade and those that date back to before the upgrade): Import Error An error occured while importing. The item ZZZZ.MOV was not imported.
I have all my software updates on both my phone and computer.
Any suggestions?

I would try restarting you Mac if you haven't already. If you still can't get either iPhoto or Image Capture to work, you could try something else, like PhotoSync or PhoneView.

MAC and FINAL CUT NOT RECOGNIZING SONY V1U Camera

The new Sony V1U camera (out this year) is not being recognized by my iMAC computer (this years latest model) and nor by the FINAL CUT PRO HD 5.1 ...Any suggestions?
I already called Mac/ Final Cut - they had the other models (Sony A1U and Z1U)listed as compatible with FC, but the V1U wasn't listed - I'm thinking since it's brand new, it's just not listed yet. We tried at Samy's camera to get it to work with their MAC/ FC but no go, and I tried different fire wire cable- wasn't the problem either. ANy help is appreciated - Do I need a Sony Driver or will I just have no luck hooking up the camera?

Just got the new HVR-V1U and it worked correctly out of the box with FCP 5.1.2 and iMovie HD on a Mac G5 Quad. IMovie saw the camera correctly right away as HD and captured that way; I set FCP to HDV 1080i60 and it captured correctly.
The camera setting for IN/OUT REC are:
REC FORMAT: HDV 1080i
COMPONENT: 1080i/480i (it auto switches depending on what's on tape)
i.LINK CONV: OFF
DOWN CONVERT: SQUEEZE (nothing happens since iLink convert is off anyway).
Note that the camera does NOT capture in Quicktime "New Movie Recording" unless I put it into DV mode or downconvert mode, but in any of those DV modes, the picture is squeezed regardless of my "squeeze, letterbox, or crop" selections.
The V1U will also capture to FCP and iMovie while just in camera mode: no tape recording, but just whatever the camera is looking at. Sounds like tapeless recording is possible, though there must be a tape in the machine. I haven't tried the HDMI through a BlackMagic Intensity (because I don't have one, and it doesn't work yet with G5's in any case), so I can't comment on the cameras raw performance. Camcorderinfo.com has a detailed review of the FX7 which has similar, if not identical video properties in the default modes.
I did some quicky video recording tests in HDV and captured them on FCP as HDV, then as camera downconverted DV (anamorphic). I then used compressor to convert each of those streams to mpeg2 (4.5 avg, 7.5 max) and the HDV to mpeg2 direct is slightly better, especially in vertical red bleed.
My only grip so far is that Sony did not include a regular mini-stereo microphone plug in, but only the XLR pair. For serious video work, you probably do want to use XLR mics; but it sure would be nice to be able to just plug in my cheapy Sony ECM-MSD1 to do casual recording in stereo instead of recording only mono with the included mic. Oh, well, we can't have everything, can we.

I have iMovie 09 and have successfully used an older Sony Handycam to directly capture and record. Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized in iMovie09. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

Hi jcm2656,
iMovie ’09 does not support the Sony HDr-PJ230 camcorder. See this article for a list of cameras supported for that version of iMovie -
iMovie '09: Camcorder Support
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#1
iMovie ’11 however, does support it. See this article -
Apple - iLife '11 Help - iMovie ’11 Supported Cameras
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
Note that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-60p from this Camcorder.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have a lot of pictures and videos in my ipod touch and I want to put them into my mac book pro. But every time I connect my ipod to my mac, neither iphoto or image capture recognize my ipod. If anyone has a way to fix Iphoto or image capture or has a different way it would be greatly appreciated.

Why does Image Capture stop recognizing Epson scanner after scanning several images? I have to stop and start the scanner in order for Image Capture to recognize it again.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

Updating the camera's clock with "Image Capture" not working

In Mac OS X 10.4 I used the application "Image Capture" to synchronise the camera’s clock with the clock of my Mac.
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.5 this feature isn’t working anymore. I still get the option in the options panel for the camera, but the time isn’t updated.
The camera is correctly set up, as it still works with my Mac OS X 10.4 iBook.
Is this a problem with my Mac or is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.5?
Is there a way to fix this problem?

What camera? I have had the same problem with a Nikon D70. Nikon Transfer has the same feature, and I can't get it to work on Leopard either.
