Lightroom doesn't see photos on Canon EOS

I'm trying to import photos from a Canon EOS 30D into Lightroom 1.4.1 running on Vista.
When I click on Import I get the option of choosing the source -- either the Canon or a "choose files.." option. But when I click on the Canon I get a Warning message saying "No photos were found to import". If I select "choose files..." I can navigate to the Canon, but Lightroom doesn't see the files on the camera.
If I navigate to the camera using a My Computer window then I can find the files and drag them onto the PC and then import into Lightroom using the import from disk option. But it would be great if someone knew how to import them direct from the camera. Any ideas? Thanks!

2nd solution : as the EOS generally don't have mass storage mode, buy a card reader for a few bucks, and read your CF card in it.
It will be wayyyyyy faster and more convenient (battery drain, among other problems) than the camera/PC cable.

Lightroom Doesn't See Images on SD Card

Hi
Just come back from a photo trip and tried to import my images into Lightroom from my SD Card and Lightroom doesn't see them, all it see's are the images I took on Saturday.
Today I arrived at my location to photograph Pasque Flowers, I took 1 image then realised I hadn't deleted the images from Saturday so I used the 'Delete Images From Card' in my camera's menu and then proceeded to take a few hundred images. During the day I reviewed my images several times, so I know they were definitely saved to the SD Card.
When I got home I tried to import my images in to Lightroom and all Lightroom saw on the card were the images I took last Saturday.
I tried closing down Lightroom and opening it again - nothing, just the images from Saturday!
I tried using the SD Card reader on my iMac - again, just Saturday's images were found.
I then put my card back into my camera and all I could see were my Pasque flower images from today.
So it seems my camera see's todays images yet Lightroom only sees the images from Saturday I had deleted via my camera's menu at the start of today.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards

Sandisk 16GB Extreme Pro SD Card

Hi Brett
Things have moved on today.
I have a long conversation with Canon and finally got the images off my camera by connecting it directly to my iMac and using Canon's EOS Utility to download the images. The EOS Utility saw both yesterdays images and the ones taken last Saturday.
I have to say it took several attempts to finally get all the images off the card and a similar number of attempts to get Lightroom to import them - but it has been achieved.
Interestingly the chap at Canon said that they (Canon) believe there is a problem with Lightroom's Library (not quite sure how I go about proving that). Anyway I have tried formatting the offending SD Card and none of the images are deleted which leads me to suspect, as you do that it might be a faulty SD card.
All the relevent serial numbers, invoice and photographs have been sent to Sandisk and I await their reply. Thankfully I purchased the card through Amazon UK who are the official retailer for Sandisk, so hopefully I should get my card replaced IF it is found to be faulty.

I can't open RAW photos (new canon eos 5.1) in bridge (cs5.1)- just get the logo

Why can't I can't open RAW photos (from an new canon eos 5.1) in Bridge (cs 5.1)- just get the logo, no thumbnail, works in Finder.

Ah ha!
At long last, do we now know the true identity of "Yammer"? Keith Nuttall?
Hope so. With all the experience and intelligence shown in Yammer's previous posts it would make total sense.
I for one cannot understand why people do not post under their real names. And I'm not prepared to say why. I'll let you guess.
If it is you Keith, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting the community know who you really are. It would give much more weight and authority to your posts for the casual forum participants who have not had a long-standing familiarity with your previous very insightful and helpful contributions.
Just my 2 cents. Don't care tuppence whether or not anyone disagrees with me.

RAW Photos from Canon EOS 7d imported into Aperture still not working...

I have just purchased a new macbook pro with the most current operating system and have updated Aperture 2 to the most current version and my Canon EOS 7d RAW files are still showing up with a red box message "Unsupported File Format"......WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?! I've been waiting for months for this to work and finally they say it will work with the update and it it doesn't. And I read about the "~" issue and I checked and don't have that condition in any of my folders. PLEASE HELP!

In addition to the above comments, make sure you have run "Software Update" (if you're new to the Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner then select "Sofwtare Update..." from the pull-down menu).
The EOS 7D, being rather new, requires that you have +Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.7+ installed. This is an update to Mac OS X (not an update to Aperture.)
If unsure, open "System Preferences" -> "Software Update" -> "Installed Software" and view the list of updates to ensure that you specifically have that update already installed.

Photos from Canon EOS 300d crash iPhoto'11?

Hi everybody,
I need help with iPhoto: iPhoto closes when working with photos or after import of photos (jpg AND crw) taken by Canon EOS 300d. No probs with other cameras (panasonic, iphone, Canon 450d, ...). Error occurs after installing the last raw update 3.8. Before everything worked fine (pics from 2003 on)!
Nothing helps:
- new library
- new library with new user
- deleting iphoto and reinstalling
Any ideas?
Thanks and greetings,
Thorsten
edit: pictures are on HDD (local / NAS).

I suppose is NOT cameraraw 3.8 but something in Faces/iPhoto.
Did you already backup the Library?
I am not a specialist in iPhoto, so we wait for a specialist coming in.
Second rate advice from me:
reinstall iPhoto,
download a program to recover a corrupted Libray and run it, there is something in another thread about this- this last week).

IPhoto doesn't see photos from my iPhone

This problem just started happening a few weeks ago --
First, the hardware --
An older MacMini that is NOT upgraded to Lion because it is single core (and hence is not connected to iCloud)
iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1
iPhone 4S with OS5.01
Now, the problem --
iPhoto is not recognizing any new photos I take. The photos are on the phone in the camera roll and are uploading to photostream but that does me no good since I don't have iCloud on my computer (because I don't have Lion). And iPhoto is recognizing that my iPhone is connected via USB -- it just says there are no photos (new or old) on it. Image capture is the same -- sees the device but doesn't see the photos.
When did this start? I'm not sure -- either (a) when I upgraded from my 3GS, which was running OS5, to the 4S OR (b) when I upgraded the 4S to 5.01.
In any event, I really want to get my photos from my phone to iPhoto -- after all, one of the selling points of the 4S was how great the camera is. Well, if I can't download the photos to my computer, what good is it?
Help anyone?

Computer sees the iphone, it just doesn't see the photos. This happened once before and I spent more than an hour with tech support fixing it - a real pain..... I'm hoping there is a quicker fix.

Appletv doesn't see Photos app library, why?

After updating to the new Photos app from iPhoto my apple tv doesn't see my computer's photo library. iTunes doesn't see it either to choose which folders to share for home sharing.
Is this a drawback to the new Photos app?
Thanks

iTunes is up to date, I don't even see the Photos library in the pull down on the home sharing prompt. Is it because my photos library is on an external drive? iPhoto had no problem seeing this. Do I have to go back to iPhoto or will Apple week this?

Lightroom doesn't stack photo with original back to lightroom when finished editing in photoshop

Hi, hope someone can help.
My lightroom isn't broken, just an annoying thing is happening.
When I used to edit in photoshop, I would finish, photoshop would ask if I wanted to save changes, I would, then when I went back to lightroom the edited photo was right there next to the original raw (a tiff).
Now it doesn't show in lightroom.
I can get the tiff into lightroom by going to import, finding in the folder where the original raw file is and importing.
I have checked under settings, and the 'stack with original' is checked.
Just wondered if I had messed a setting somewhere.
Thanks for you help
Paul

Thanks for your help 007.
I got it working, I reinstalled lightroom and it was still the same, no re-imports of edited photo's.
So here's what I did. I changed the file type when editing in photoshop to PSD (in preferences), and that worked. So I changed it back to TIFF and that works now too.
Cheers
Paul

Lightroom doesn't see a .jpg in a folder with a .dng

Hi,
I exported a .dng file to a folder. I imported this .dng file into PS CC and exported the processed image to the same folder as a .tiff. I then converted this .tiff file to jpeg and saved this to the same folder. All files had the same name apart from the .type change. I could import the .tiff & .dng to Lightroom but it could not see the jpeg file. When I deleted the other 2 it could see it.
Any thoughts why?
Alan.

Change the setting on the General Tab of the Preferences menu....you need to check the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos".

IPhoto doesn't see photos in the library

Hope someone can help. The external hard drive holding my iPhoto library accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto. Now, iPhoto does not see any photos in it, even though that library shows up as a choice when I reconnect it. Finder shows there are hundreds of gigabytes of data in the file, so I know the photos are there (I hope). But every time I try to switch to that library, it doesn't show up in the left column like it used to, and iPhoto gives me the message -- to get started, connect a camera or import photos. How do I get iPhoto to see the pictures/files again?? I'm on iPhoto 9.6 with OS X Yosemite on a macbook pro. Thank you!!
Evelyn

Backup your iPhoto library and depress and hold the option and command keys and double click on the library on the EHD - keep the keys down until the first sid window comes up - rebuild your database

Iphoto on macbook pro doesn't see photos on iphone--how to move them off??

Hi,
I have an iphone 5S (updated to latest version of iOS) and a new macbook pro (retina), also updated. I have plugged my phone into iphoto (version 9.6) and it says all pictures are downloaded but there are over 1000 photos on my phone and 140 videos, too. How am i to bring these into iphoto if iphoto doesn't even see them???
Thanks,
A.

It should look like this:
But if you are seeing cloud icon beside the device name, you cannot delete the photos from your iPhone using your Mac. The delete button will be missing.
As to the number of photos and videos you are seeing on your iPhone.
In which albums do the photos and videos appear in the Photos.app on your iPhone?

ITunes doesn't see photos from iPhoto

It used to work OK, but now when I connect the iPhone (3G), iTunes launches (iPhoto too), starts syncing (uploads all the music again!), but the photo section says that the albums I have selected do not contain any photos.
I deleted albums, created new albums (in iPhoto) rebuilt the library in iPhoto, but still no update in iTunes.
Both iTunes and iPhoto files/data are held on an external file server, but I can see all files in each application.
This seemed to start happening after a full reset of the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Adam

This could be a problem with the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto Library Folder. Quit iPhoto and remove the file from the iPhoto Library Folder, then launch iPhoto. It will recreate the file.
If that doesn't work:
Remove any non-ascii characters in Keywords, Album or Photo titles - basically anything that's not a- z and 0 - 9. This includes &.
If that doesn't work then read this thread

IMovie doesn't see photos in my iPhoto events

I opened iMovie to work on a new project.
1. Can't see how to create a new iMovie event.
2. iMovie sees my iPhoto events but shows only a few photos in an event that has 200. What's up with that?

Don't know about #2, but to create a new event in an opened Library go to file menu and select new event. Also option N works.

Iphoto 9.4.2 doesn't see photos on camera

There are six photos on my card, but iPhoto tells me there are none. It previously said there were 27 others that I had deleted. I have tried accessing the photos with my cable and with a card reader.

Can you see the image files on the card in the Finder when using a card reader? If so upload to a folder on the Desktop and then reformat the card in the camera. Then try again.
