Macbook won't read card from Canon G10 in USB port

I can't copy Canon G10 RAW files from an SD card via a USB card reader onto an aluminum MacBook. I tried using Adobe Lightroom (the way I usually do this on another machine) to import the files but it couldn't recognize them. I tried to copy the files into a folder on the Desktop but I got a insufficient priveleges message. It seemed to copy the file names but tnot the files. When I tried to remove the card I got a "File is in use and can't be removed" message.
The card reader and the card work fine on a 24"Intel iMac.
Another USB card works fine in the card reader on the MacBook, too.
I'm puzzled.

Some added info, i CAN boot the bricked machine into Safe mode, but at reboot I get stuck in the same cycle again.
Oh, and in SafeBoot, the Macbook still tells me that no Airport card is installed, even though I know it does (and it's not knocked loose or anything).....

  • Cannot print from Canon MF4412 through USB port of Time Capsule

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently purchased a new Canon imageCLASS MF4412 and cannot print while connected to the USB port of the time capsule. I can print and scan perfectly when connected directly to the mac.
    This is the exact steps I took:
    1.After connecting the usb cable to the back of Time capsule, I go to the sys pref pane to add a printer.
    2.It shows up as a 'Bonjour' and I had to manually select the driver.
    3.It added fine and I thought everything was setup.
    4.However, when i go to print something, there's an error. "Canon URF II Printer Driver"
    "Cannon communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again. Then, if the Print Dialog box has a [Printer Info] button, acquire the printer information: 10322"
    Anybody know of a solution?
    Thanks.

    I got a similar problem on MF4412, the canon 4412 is connected the newest airport extreme , it get configured. But I got same problem described about on my leopard, lion, even worst on iOS, it does not find the printer. But I got a Windows 7 starter NetBook ...haha it works, I can print it from Windows. what is the problem then,it works on Windows but not Apple's OS??????

  • I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your reply.  I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years.  The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import.  Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera.  However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing.  So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years.  I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

  • Aperture can't find photos on SD card from Canon XSi

    Aperture 2.1.1 can't seem to find any photos on an SD card from a Canon Rebel XSi when I try to Import from the card, which is in a USB card reader. I could swear that Aperture 2.1 was able to find the photos no problem.
    I had to manually drag all the photos into a folder and import from the folder.

    Ok, I finally figured it out: it's a bug present in both Aperture 2.1 (on a Powerbook G4) and Aperture 2.1.1 (on a 4-core Mac Pro).
    If a) Aperture is not currently running AND b) Aperture is selected as the app to run when a camera is connected AND c) you connect a camera, THEN when Aperture opens, it will go into Import mode, and the GUI will be pointed at the camera, but Aperture will in reality be pointed at some random folder in the file system. The tagline at the top of the window will read: 'Import from "a folder" to a new project.' when it should read 'Import from "Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi" to a new project.'
    No pictures will be shown for import. A file system column view will be shown, but it will be empty. This is what made me think that the card couldn't be read.
    This bug can be worked around. Moving the "Import" GUI bar to the file system section, then back to the camera, will fix things and allow the camera preview images to start appearing. Also, if Aperture is already running when the camera is first connected, the problem does not occur.
    I don't know if it matters, but I still have the Aperture "splash" screen enabled, which allows you to pick an activity (Import from Camera, Import from Folder, Just start using Aperture, etc.) before the main GUI comes up. This may or may not affect the appearance of the bug.
    I tried the same test with a Nikon P5000 point-and-shoot, and saw the same behavior (i.e. the same bug), so it doesn't appear to depend on any peculiarities of the camera firmware. It's just an out-and-out initialization bug.

  • My early 2008 MacBook won't wake up from sleep

    My early 2008 MacBook won't wake up from sleep periodically. I will have to hold the power button down and then restart when it acks up. It did this twice yesterday & once today.

    Try resetting the PMU (power management unit).
    Remove battery and power adapter.
    Hold down power button for 10 seconds.
    Reinstall battery and attach power adapter.
    Hold down Command-Option-P-R, a total of four keys, and press power button. Don't release the keys.
    Continue holding the four keys until you hear the startup sound twice, then release.

  • Macbook won't always wake from sleep

    Occasionally my Alu Macbook won't wake up from sleep. The keyboard backlight comes on, but the display won't wake. Sometimes the machine is quite hot and the fans are blasting too. Only a power cycle will fix it and then there's a message about OS X restarting unexpectedly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Interesting how a common thread I see on these failures is 4GB ram upgrades. I too have a 4GB aftermarket RAM kit in my late 07 black MB. No issues with this machine, having this exact hardware / RAM configuration for 1+ years. My problems started about the time I ran the 10.5.6 upgrade, which may or may not have included a firmware update.
    I would be inclined to think memory timing issues or undervolting the RAM during sleep which causes it to corrupt. Perhaps the OEM RAM modules are looking for different timings / voltage than Apple provided RAM modules.
    All said, I am VERY confident this is not a hardware defect but instead firmware related. It doesn't appear to be OS related as none of these failures are making it into the console logs - the machine is asleep, deeeeep sleep. For all intents when it starts it is as if it lost complete power and starts from hibernation file (or starts from scratch if you didn't have a hibernation file...

  • Macbook won't read disks!

    my macbook won't read disks, it justs ejects it immediately after insertion.  It's a software based issue because I have my hard drive partitioned with linux mint, and on the linux os all disks work with no problems.  It might be a red flag but I ran an executable file earlier labeled nocd.  On the other hand though acouple days ago I inserted a disk for an apple tech utility and it just ejected the disk immediately as well which was the first time this happened, but i didnt think anything of it because I assumed the utility just wasn't compatible with my computer.  I work at a help desk for a university so i thought maybe because it was not a university owned computer, I don't know, i'm not sure what my logic was there. but reguardless what i've tried was to kill backround processes involved with disk mounting and letting them respawn, there don't seem to be any unusual processes running on my system over all, after I killed those processes my home directory couldn't be located, I'm not sure if what I killed had anything to do with it, and don't really believe it did.  I know the superdrive is not dirty or anything of that sort seeing as it read the disk fine in linuxmint.  Any suggestion?  thanks in advance for any replies

  • IMovie won't read all my Canon HF100 files.

    I have a Canon HF100 camcorder. I record in FXP or 1080 HD video mode, 60 frames. My PC reads and imports the video just fine.
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" intel cpu machine with iMovie 09. When I use one of the memory cards to import video it works fine. When I use the other memory card to import video it doesn't even see the camera. It will import pics from it into iPhoto and mounts the camera so you can see the files but iMovie won't even recognize it.
    The cards are both formatted fat 32, all video on both is recorded in the same format, both cards had pictures on them as well as the video. I have tried everything I can to get iMovie to read the files, everything suggested on the forums and researched the heck out of this. It won't recognize one of my cards, even though everything else on the mac will. I have 14 gig of HD video to import and am running out of options. I don't have the money to buy another program just to get THIS program to read the files. iMovie 09 was supposed to be HD compatible....why doesn't it have native .mts file support? these cameras have been out for over a year or two and are some of the more popular ones around now. Please help if you can!!!!

    well, it seems that the card is bad from what you say. Are you plugging the camera directly to the mac? or using a card reader? what type of card? (guessing MMC/SD card?) how big is the card? if you can get it to show on the desktop then make a folder and manually drag the files off the card and into the folder a few at a time. You will probably find one or 2 corrupt and wont move over so don't try and do them all at once because it'll just bog down. do the smaller ones first!!
    you may also find that very large files SEEM to be not seen but it's just the USB/Firewire/system need a LOT of time to transport and convert the file into mac.. (not really what it's doing but give you and idea)
    As was stated you may need to reformat the card because its got bad data areas/blocks. From what you are stating it's more than likely the card, not the computer/software.
    I have had issues with a friends camera importing to Imovie. My camera and his both record in AVI format but mine I can import directly where his I have to run it through Quicktime Pro and convert to MOV files.. why? no clue but it works.
    I would love it if it was just a bad card but check this out. The files are all perfectly fine. They can be copied to my mac no problem. I imported them all to my Windows PC and they play / edit just fine. I'm working with a free file converter to change them into what, mpeg4? I really really don't want to buy VoltaicHD just for a memory card worth (albeit 16 gig of video) of video. I DID find this on Canon's website....
    +Issue: What is the Mac compatibility of my camcorder?+
    +Solution: The digital video solutions disk is compatible with Mac OS 10.2 up to 10.4 for stills only. No video related software is provided.+
    +The video connectivity of the Canon DVD and Hard Disc Drive camcorders provided by the software bundled with them is designed for use with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Microsoft Windows Vista only. The Sonic Roxio My DVD software included with some models is only compatible with the Windows XP SP2 operating system when combined with a computer supporting the USB 2.0 specification.+
    +Macintosh OS10.4.3 and up users may be able to view the contents of a finalized disk or files recorded onto the hard drive (for hard disc drive models) on the computer when it is connected to a USB port on the computer. With a finalized disk loaded into the camcorder the camera should show up on the desktop as a mounted drive and files may be copied (dragged) from the disk using normal procedures. Any desired editing, playback or other features may require additional third party software.+
    +Note: Proper operation is not guaranteed.+
    Now I already have reformatted the card and put the files back on it, still no dice. I've tried everything I can think of, I have no other codecs on my machine but QT native codecs. From what Ive read on the forums and such it seems that iMovie and the lack of support by Apple for .mts and .m2ts file formats in general is the main problem. It seems people have random problems with HD camcorders. Some people it works fine for and some it doesn't..I am one of the unlucky ones with intermittent compatibility. Fun. I have spent SO much time on this problem I almost took my mac back. This is my first Mac and while I love it to death, I am getting real tired of the unsupported crap and having to download other programs to get it to work right when it was supposed to do so in the beginning. I'm not trying to rant, just really frustrated at all the extra expense after having paid 2400$ for what was supposed to do it by itself. From what Canon said on their website, apparently there ARE issues with mac compatibility and it may or may not work. yay. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck paying for more 3rd party software.
    Also, yea, I cannot import AVI files into iMovie even after I installed divx...good stuff.

  • IPhoto 09 can't import RAW file (.CR2) from Canon G10 Camera

    Every time I try to import a RAW image on my G10 camera (the file extension is .CR2) into iPhoto, the program says that the file is in an unrecognized format. Yet the OS and I believe iPhoto supports RAW from the Canon G10. I have updated my software. Does anyone know why I cannot import this file?

    Since the G10 support came with the 10.5.7 update download and reapply 10.5.7 COMBO Update again followed by a repair of disk permissions. See if that will jump start the import.

  • Error importing photos from Canon G10

    I am using Iphoto 08 from one year, I import thousands of photos from my Canon G10 without problem until today.
    I imported 25 pictures from different dates, the first import was perfect, the second appears in the beginning and not in the end according to date and when I click in the event I can not see the pictures, an exclamation black symbol appears.
    I also tried to move my pictures using finder and I could not.
    Please HELP!

    Your database file has been corrupted.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Buy MacBook Pro using credit cards from Argentina

    Hi! Im from Argentina and I want to buy a MacBook Pro using my creditcards from here...
    when i am doing the check out, the form asks me my billing address zip code.. is it possible to do this? or Apple isnt accepting anymore non US credit cards?.
    Thanks!!

    You need to keep the MacBook Pro for other uses, forget getting a overheating "you can't change anything but the RAM, cost you a arm and a leg to fix it" iMac and get yourself a Windows tower where you CAN upgrade the video card time to time, and CAN tweak things and CAN switch out the monitor, the keyboard, add surround sound cards and tons of other things for your 3D gaming experience.
    I know this sounds like blasphemy on a Apple site, but it's the god honest truth.
    Your clearly in the "competitive" aspect of 3D gaming and all the newest, most powerful video cards are on Windows as there are more users on Windows, thus a larger market for buying upgrade cards.
    3D games only really need a dual core processor as all their "work" is really video card (GPU) related.
    Windows towers are also a heck of a lot less expensive than a MacPro, and all the "games choices" are on Windows.
    Mac's are ALWAYS significantly behind their Windows cousins when it comes to 3D games and with laptops your restricted by battery or heat issues, unlike towers with their massive cooling.
    MacPro's have trouble getting new video cards, back in the PowerMac days it was easy as they thought the "Mac is back as a 3D gamers machine" until the Intel swtich that is, it's like now you only get what comes with the new machine and god forbid if you went cheap.
    Windows 7 is not that bad actually, it's a lot more "pleseant" and secure than before, you can install the free Microsoft Security Essentials and it will protect you from most casual malware. Sure enough just using it for gaming isn't going to bother you much, you'll hardly see it or use it, just long enough to launch the game.
    Just don't go treating it like you would a near immune Mac and you shoudl be fine.
    I'll let the Cinebench score show you what your missing.

  • MacBook won't wake up from sleep / boot up.

    My MacBook has trouble waking up from sleep, and sometimes booting up from a normal shutdown. When I open the clamshell after I put the computer to sleep, the indicator light doesn't blink, but is lit up, and the screen is completely blank. Pressed all keys, and still it won't wake up. I've had the same problem with booting up the computer from a normal shutdown as well. I've tried holding on to the power key and doing a hard reset, but nothing seems to work. However, I can't seem to pinpoint the cause of this problem, it seems to be completely arbitrary. Sometimes, it wakes without a problem, and sometimes it just stays in "zombie" mode for .. extended periods of time.
    I've also resetted the PMU, and the NVRAM as well. I'm not sure how this could affect it, but a few days ago, my CD drive broke. When I tried to boot up, the CD drive seemed to be turning to find a CD, and couldn't boot up. So I took it to the Apple guy and got the CD drive removed completely. I took the MacBook back to him with this waking up problem, and he says it's fixed, but it really isn't.
    Help! I can't

    I can't boot up MacBook and I,m wondering if you tried SafeBoot. I went through the process, got the progress bar, then nothing. Just more blue screen and gear spinning.

    I have a MacBook 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    I've solved my problem.
    I have reset my MacBook's PRAM settings.
    It's very easy: link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
    Hope this helps
