Jpeg files on camera are not recognized by iphoto and won't import

Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS is connected via USB and recognized by iPhoto, however none of these files are importing because the files are unreadable and in an unrecognized format. An example file name and ext that is not importing is "100_2327.JPG".
I do not have a card reader and currently the only way I can get photos from my camera onto my hard drive is using the USB cable.
Thanks in advance for your consideration

Had the same problem after ? upgrade (before everything worked well with my Canon EOS 450) Found out that import worked fine when connecting to my wife's iMac - so, it could not be the camera or formatting og the cameras memory...
Problem was definitively located to connection via USB hub build in to Apple Monitor!!! When connecting to USB connector on keyboard, everything works well - connecting back to Apple Cinema Display (connected to MacBook) is reproducing the same error. I assume that the same may happen with other hubs? But not tested!

To keep a back up of original Jpeg files from camera or not?

Somewhat new to Mac coming from PC world. I also have a PC lap top that I have some of my pictures on. I have all of my actual jpeg files from my old PC on the Mac and then have imported copies of them into iphoto.
I have searched these discussions and can't find my question answered so hope I can explain and get an answer.
I think I understand how iphoto works and about the library. I am enjoying using it, but with problems others have from time to time I would think most people would still want a backup of their actual jpeg files stored on DVDs or external hard disk is storage space is not a problem. I can see if you only use a Mac and keep a backup of your iphoto library you would be fine, but if you changed back to a PC this library backup would not work and you would still want a copy of all your original jpeg files to start over on a PC.
Do any of you keep a backup of your original files backed up?

I definitely know not to make any changes in the iphoto library itself.
Good that goes a LONG way toward avoiding problesm
If I understand you correctly is there a way from within iPhoto to isolate all of your orginal files, if that is what you want, to transfer just them to an external in order to then load on a different PC computer i.e. my laptop?
iPhoto does that - all originals are in a folder in the iPhoto library named "originals" - you can copy it for use somewhere else (I do not recommend it but you can and if you make no mistakes it is safe - i make lots of mistakes so sty out of my iPhoto library) or select the Photos you want elsewhere and export with kind = original
I have a 2TB WD external drive I am using with Time Machine, so my iPhoto library is backed up there. Would you also suggest, to be perfectly safe, backing up the iPhoto library to a 2nd external.
I personally do that - it is certainly a personal choice and and be overkill - but I do it
As I add new pictures to iPhoto and backup to this 2nd external would the library file just overwrite the previous backup?
again your choice - I keep about 4 versions plus the current one on my internal drive which get daily cloned to my EHD - essentially overwriting the old so my EHD is never more thatn a day behind my main system (except when I do an major upgrade and turn the EHD off for two to three weeks to be sure the upgrade went ok)
I don't want to sound paranoid, but I just cringe when reading posts of people losing all of there pictures.
Its hard not to be paranoid when everyone is out to get you - and hard to be too paranoid when it comes to backups - bad stuff will happen
But as to reading about people losing all of their photos - that does not happen - in all of the posts I've read here I have not seen a single case of iPhoto or the Mac losing a single photo - iPhoto has lost track of them (mostly due to user mistakes - sometimes computer glitches) and people have had to start over with their originals losing their keywords, edits, etc but no photos actually lost
So the short answer - I like having both a clone and a TM backup plus the other ones I make - it may be too much for you or you may do more - TD adds a web based backup to his scheme for example

I am scanning printed photos into iPhoto as jpeg files but they are not showing as jpegs and I can't move them to another document - any ideas??

Ultimately, I am using these photos in a document I am writing and for some reason, some of the photos I have scanned in to iPhoto are not showing as jpeg files . . . the file type is blank and when I try to move them, I get a circle with a slash through it indicating NO instead of the green circle with a + indicating that the photo can be moved and dropped elsewhere. I am using an Epson scanner and am scanning as jpeg images. I also have an option to scan as a jpeg2000 image but am not sure of the difference in the files so continue to scan as just jpeg. Does anybody have an idea as to why these particular files are scanning in as jpegs but apparently there is something not registering correctly. Could it be that they were scanned without doing an overview scan first? I know it can't be that simple . . any help would be appreciated.

What scanner format settings dis you use? Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images? That could be the problem.
Are you able to open them with Preview? If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name. See if that file will import and work as intended.

Pentax K3 Raw pictures are not recognized by Aperture 3.5. Importing these photos leads to error message. Any tips?

I recently bought the Pentax K3 SLR. Before I used the K5 with Aperture without any problem. Now when i try to import raw images the message is "image not recognized". It makes no difference if I use the DNG Raw or Raw+ or the PEF pentax raw format. Jpegs are no problem but I want to use raw data. Does anybody have any hints?

Each raw support is camera specific - different sensors, different lens.
Apple has been pretty quick with raw support lately, a new raw support release every few month, but it is very hard to predict. Some cameras have never been supported. I am still waiting for the support for my camera after three years.
You could use the camera specific software to convert your raw files to a supported format, while you are waiting, or shoot raw+jpeg, and use the jpeg as originals. That can be reversed, when the raw support is available.

Iphone 4 not recognized in Windows and won't charge

My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped charging via ANY charge medium, connected directly to USB port with adapter, via an iHome-like stereo, nor will it work in a wall charger. Also, neither a Mac (10.7) nor will a Win 7 computer with updated iTunes recognize it. Every time I connect it I get a message "USB device not recognized and has malfunctioned..." I have already changed the battery out (it was already out of warranty) still not charging or being recognized. Any help resolving this would be far more than appreciated!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See it this helps. If still problem, clean port with toothbrush and some Isopropyll Alcohol. Clean especially the pins which are on top of the port mid-rib.

Ipod nano not recognized by itunes and won't charge

Ipod nano is about 3 months old, worked fine before with itunes, but now ipod doesn't start itunes, doesn't show up in finder, and doesn't charge.
I have switched usb ports, reset the ipod, downloaded itunes 6. I downloaded ipod update, but computer doesn't recognize ipod so it isn't updated. I tried "restore", but again not recognized. I tried Isync but it can't find ipod.
Do I need a new cable that attaches ipod to computer?
powrmac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

Fcpx: the video properties of this clip are not recognized.

The original footage is 300fps hi-speed video, shot with Casio Exilim EX-F1. Resolution 512x384, framerate 29.97
When I imported the footage into FCPX, I marked "Transcoding: Create optimized media". So I did.
Now I start a new project, drag the clip into the timeline and I get the message "The video properties of this clip are not recognized." andI can choose to import the clip as 640x480. But I don't want that, and why have I just transcoded into pro-res if FCPX itself cannot recognize the clip afterwards? What am I missing here?
For the record: I also bought Compressor4 and Motion5 so if they are needed for my solution, no problem. I tried importing the clip first into Compressor4 but couln't find a way to export into a FCPX-project.
Short note about myself: long time Premiere user, recently switched to Apple + FCPX.

I can't show you screenshots because I don't have access to FCP at the moment. Take the first clip you want to be in the project. Open it into the timeline using the Open in Timeline function. You can now blade this clip however you like. Cut the beginning, cut the end. Slice it however you want it. The audio will be separate from the video. You can collape it into a compound clip if you want. This only happens with the first clip. Leave the timeline open. In the event event browser, find the second shot you want. Mark In and Out points. Press the E key to append it to timeline. You want to insert a a different shot in the beginning. Move the playhead in the timeline back to the beginning. Find the shot you want in the browser. Mark in and out points. Press the W key to insert the shot. You want to add transitions. Select the clips in the timeline and press Cmd-T. You want to add a timeline. Put the playhead in the timeline wherever you want. Double click the title to put it into the timeline. Add more shots into the timeline. Do you see what's happening? You are editing your program into that first clip's timeline. The dimensions of that first clip remain intact in that timeline. When you export you're exporting that clip's timeline. As I said, it's not ideal, but it's a workaround. Basically FCP only works with standard video formats.

Pictures not recognized by iPhoto

I have just installed Lion and iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5.
Now, when I import pictures they are not recognized by iPhoto. I can see them i Finder.
At first the import seems to work: The import function runs and the event is created. (The name of the event is typed in by me as normally before starting the import).
But when I open the event the pictures aren’t there. When I restart iPhoto the event has disappeared.
Can anyone help?

I have solved the problem my self
Press the Command and Option key. Launch iPhoto while holding the two keys. A dialog box comes up. Put a check mark in “Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions”.

Do you get an error message? What - exactly - does it say?

Just purchased Nikon D610. tried to import 3 images and got this message: The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. How do I fix this frustrating problem. Have been using Lightroom for years also Nikon products without any prior

How do I import images. Have a message that says: The files are not recognized by the raw format suppot in Lightroom. Am using a Mac version 10.9.4. the import is from a new Nikon D610. Am using LR 4.4 Please help Adobe is useless as a support.

Each camera must be supported explicity and your LR version is years older than your camera.
According to Adobe's Camera-support page, you need at least LR 5.3 to work with your D610 NEFs in LR:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
If you don't want to upgrade to LR 5, or can't due to your OS being too old, then it might work to use the latest DNG Converter and create DNGs from your NEFs, which should open in LR 4.x. You can find the DNG Converter here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

.jpg files created on iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uploading them to American Heart Assoc. website?

.jpg files created on Iphone 4S are not recognized as .jpg files when uplaoding to American Heart Association fund raising webpage? .jpg's from Canon camera uploaded without any problems? The website automatically reduces the file size to <100kb.

I haven't contacted AHA about this issue. The .jpg files created on Canon SLR uploaded correctly, but the photo from iPhone which was emailed to my PC using MS IE. The .jpg was browsed to from my desktop and is submitted. It shows up in draft form then when uploading it fails saying it is not a .jpg file or .png file? I have had other issues in the past emailing iPhone pictures. They were not editable after being sent to a PC. I guess we can retake photos with a non-Apple camera.
