It won't let me import my photos/videos from my cannon SD700 digital camera

It won't automatically try to import when I connect the camera.
It recognizes the camera is connected because I can select "Cannon Powershot SD700 IS"
If I click/select "Import All" or select an individual video I get
"Error downloading image"
"iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image"
if I select one photo image I get the dialog box
" Unreadable Files"
"Unreadable Files 1:"
"The following files could not be imported (the file is in an unrecognized format)"
IMG_1386.JPG"
" OK"
I can look through the images on my camera ok though.
I just updated to iphoto 09 8.1 (415) just before I tried this import.
Dave

have you restarted you computer since the update? if not try it
as to a problem with the iPhoto 8.1 update - I've not seen this specific issue - there have been some (there always are - that is one reason that backing up before an update is important). If your problem is with 8.1 I certainly would not assume that all future updates will have the problem - in fact I would report the problem to apple ( iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback) and assume that the next update would fix the problem (if there is one)
Have you tried the card reader as TD suggested? Also you can try image capture (in your applications folder)

  • IPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera.

    iPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera. What's the easiest way to get the video imported. Also, didn't prior versions of iPhoto accept this format?

    As you don't mention the version of iPhoto, I can only guess that you've been caught in the gap between Apple and Samsung. Somethign changed with iPhoto 11 and it's quite rigid about how timecode is handled in video and there's something not quite standard in the Samsung timecode. Google around a bit for more.
    And, as Larry say, try iMovie

  • HT4108 Will it be possible to download photos direct from a Cannon or Nikon camera to a iPadHD?

    Will it be possible to download photos directly from a Cannon or Nikon camera on to a iPadHD?

    You have to use Apple's Camera Connection Kit. It's best to import from the camera's SD card, rather than connect the camera.

  • Iphoto won't let me import my photos because it has a problem downloading an image

    I need to backup my phone because i'm getting a new one, but it won't let me back it up because i've no space left so since i have over 3000 photos in my photo library, i was going to import it to iphotos, but once i try to import it, i get a notification that it couldn't download an image. WHAT IMAGE? It won't tell me!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • IPhoto 08 will no longer import any photos/videos from my digital camera?!?

    It seems as though after the most recent Snow Leopard update (10.6.4), I can no longer upload any photos to iPhoto on my imac. It seems as though this is a fairly common problem, and I'm wondering if anyone has been able to resolve it? I am honestly afraid to download any further updates from apple - every time something gets updated....something gets broken. I wish I was exaggerating here...since the initial upgrade to Snow Leopard, after every upgrade/update, major problems have shown up on my once-faithful Imac. Wireless networking, printing, third party software...and now iphoto.

    Same here! During the last software update 7/23, I watched the update process and saw "removing files" as one of the last procedures. Did not realize until later that ALL of iLife '08 had been totally removed. A genius at the store told me that Snow Leopard won't work with iLife '08 and yet it was working fine until last Friday. Now instead of loading multiple photos to my MacBook Pro, iPhone will only allow one photo to be emailed or attached to a contact. They told me at the store I can use Image Capture instead, but that doesn't give me the thumbnail photos. Really dastardly update. Any suggestions except to purchase iLife '09?

  • I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

    Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
    and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

  • Elements 12 Organizer won't let me Rate my Photos

    In Elements 12 Orginizer it won't let me rate my photos. I am trying to go through them to rate them from 1-5, but when I click on a photo it says that " The requested operation could not be completed because the catalog is currently locked by another process" Then when this pops up I see little red locks at the top left corner of my photos. What's going on? It's important that I cull my photos. Please help!!!

    Anyone out there can help me with this?

  • I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

    I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

  • I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    Hard Drive:  The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
    Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
    Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
    If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
    What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
    BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
    Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

  • Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6?

    Why After Effects CC won´t let me import an .obj file as AE CS6? How could I solve this?
    Thanks.

    Hi, it's been a long time. I'm sure it was something silly I was missing.  I'll be thinking about it, as soon as I remember I'll let you know.
    Maybe if you tell me what kind of message is AE giving you or something would help me to remeber.

  • Photoshop CS5 Extended won't let me import video frames to layers?

    I've been searching for an answer for a while now, and I still can't seem to make this work. I'm trying to make gifs. I'm using a Mac and I've already switched my CS5 to a 32-bit version, but the video is greyed out even though it's an mp4 and won't let me import the video.
    I've looked through some tutorials, and everything should work. I'm have Quicktime version 10.2, so that should be the latest version?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. CS 5.5. Switched to 32bit. Frames are greyed out in the open dialog.

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.
