Nikon Coolpix 990 not supported in iPhoto 11 v9.4.2 on OS x 10.8.2

I am running Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard in separate partitions on the same iMac(Intel i3). I can import photos from my Nikon Coolpix 990 camera using iPhoto 11 v 9.2.3 running on Snow Leopard. I cannot import photos when running iPhoto 11 v 0.4.2 on Mountain Lion. The camera shows up in the USB section of the system report. Is anyone aware of this problem and how to fix it?

I removed my photos and formatted the camera's flash card but it didn't help. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple and they couldn't resolve the issue either. The support person is forwarding the problem to Apple engineering.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload onto my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please.

Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload on to my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please. I have never had this problem before.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
You could also try reformat the Card with your camera

I can't download pictures from my Nikon Coolpix 990 to IPhoto6.

I can't download pictures from my Nikon Coolpix 990 to IPhoto6. The computer recognizes it on the UBS port but IPhoto won't. I have tried both direct input and using a media card without success. I think it did work a year ago but I'm not sure. That might have been an earlier version of IPhoto then. Any suggestions?

First try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC) or the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), whichever is appropriate. Follow that by a repair of disk permissions and another reboot.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

"one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".

I have some folders in iPhoto called 'Recovered Folder'. When I try to delete them I get this message: "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".
I don't use Aperture (did install it to try it out), and have deleted Aperture App from my Mac.
How can I get rid of these fodlers?

i finally figured this out:
fyi, iphoto and aperture can now share (i.e., access) the same library. apple details it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
i use both iphoto and aperture, and i suspect something went amiss, at some point, while aperture was accessing my iphoto library.
this is how i fixed the problem:
i launched aperture, then (per the instructions linked above) switched to (i.e., accessed) my iphoto library. i was then able to delete the "recovered folder" and the album it contained. i then quit aperture and relaunched iphoto.
NOTE: at that time, although i expected the "recovered folder" to be gone, it was still present. but this time, i was able to delete the folder from within iphoto without the "contains aperture items" error message.
(Sparky030405, i realize you've since deleted aperture. while i can't say my method is the *only* way to solve this problem, it's the way i was able to solve it. so, you might consider reinstalling aperture in order to delete the folder, then uninstalling aperture, once again.)

IPhoto would import only half my Nikon photos--rest not supported

Hello Out There. I use Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1.
With my Nikon D70 I shot some pics yesterday and shot some more today. iPhoto would only load the pics from yesterday. Image capture wouldn't load them either. In both cases File Not Supported came up.
Any thoughts on how I can resolved this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Terence. I registered for a trial of Adobe Illustrator and uploaded files from there and then transferred to iPhoto.
Many thanks for your suggestion. I don't have a card reader--but I see that they are not all that expensive. I will remember this alternative in the future.
Cheers.

Error message that Nikon D610 is not supported by photoshop elements 12

I get the error message that "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
I have a Nikon D610 and shot in RAW NEF... Don't understand why I am getting this message and what to do to correct it?

Nikon D800 Definitely NOT Supported in ACR RC 6.7 or in Photoshop CS6 beta with ACR 7

It's been my experience that I am unable to view RAW images shot by my new Nikon D800 with ACR 6.7 installed, or with Photoshop CS 6 beta which includes an ACR 7 plug-in. This is true whether I'm shooting in Live View or not.
Anyone else having difficulty with RAW images shot by the Nikon D800?

I use Nikon Transfer in conjunction with a card reader to transfer these files to my desktop, either Windows 7 Ultimate or Mac Lion, latest version.
These NEF files are seen in Windows Explorer as thumbnail images, but do not open up in Photoshop or Bridge or Camera Raw. If I right-click on the Explorer thumbnail and request it to open with Photoshop 5.1, it produces the error messaqge: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw."
My Camera Raw version in "Help" "About Plug-ins" is 6.7.0.319
As I've said, the only time I've been able to open my NEF files in Camera Raw and Photoshop was when I used Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2(This software allows me to shoot my camera from software on a computer), in which, as the shots are exposed, they are automatically transferred to my laptop where Camera Control resides. That laptop runs Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. The two desktops run 64-bit versions of Windows and Mac Lion, respectively.
To add to the confusion, I downloaded a trial version of PhaseOne's CaptureOne which is described as updated to handle D800 NEFs, but no go for me.
I just tried a shot with my Win 7 Desktop, which also has Camera Control Pro 2 on it, the files are automatically downloaded to my Users/My Pictures folder, and the NEF opens up in Camera Raw, and then in Photoshop when I request it. This works whether I shoot in "live View" or not.
Any thoughts?

HT4757 The Fujifilm X-Pro 1 RAW format is not supported by iPhoto 11

I have brought the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 withch has a new CMOS sensor with excellent image quality. But unfortunately the iPhoto does not support the new RAW format of this camera.

As RAW is not supported for the time being, I am taking photos with RAW+JPEG now and hope the RAW files can be used in future. But there is still a problem for me. The RAW files in the SD card cannot be imported into my computer but keep in the SD card. iPhoto and Finder refused to import the RAW files as they are in "Unknown format". The SD card will be full after sometime and become unusable.
The "RAW FILE CONVERTER update (ver.3.2.9.1) for X-Pro1" is capable to view or convert the files into JPEG but cannot help importing the files from the SD card. Since the JPEG file is already done in camera, the RAW FILE CONVERTER seems almost useless.
At least Apple or someone should make a tool to help importing the RAW files from the camera to the computer. Or such tool is just unaware to me?

Nikon Coolpix L1 not seen

This could be related to my other problem of my 7900 not disappearing.
but my L1 doesn't appear in iPhoto 6. It does appear and work just fine on my iBook with iPhoto 5.
in system profiler, I see it show up on the USB bus, but it has Chinese letters instead of the us letters that appear when I connect my 7900.
Apple's website does not list this camera as compatible, but it works fine with iPhoto 5.
Any thoughts?

not really answered, but have new camera and new iPhoto so all seems well.

Movies from Nikon Coolpix don't upload into iPhoto

I've been able to get video off my camera into iPhoto with no problems up until a couple of weeks ago. Now, I shoot some video, plug in, and get the Import button - press the Import button - I don't see a "thermometer" going, but then it says Finishing IMport but the video has not been uploaded. I did disconnect without ejecting a couple of times in the past, wonder if my memory card is damaged?

Robert
How big are those video files? iPhoto will baulk at larger files. The workaround is to copy them to the desktop and then import them.

Ipod photo not synching with Nikon Coolpix 880

Hi all,
Despite all the posts on the subject, synch with camera connector still does not work.
Context: IPOD photo 30G with Photo Import option on and driver 1,2; Nikon coolpix 880 listed as supported on IPhoto site.
Symptoms: Get message "No card inserted"

Heeeeeelp ... pleeeease.

Try this: set your iPod in the hard disk mode (you can do this by connecting the iPod to your computer and then set it in this mode.
If it doesn't work... Let me know.
Are you sure, that the Nikon coolpix 880 is supported?

Well i just got back from the Apple Store.. laid out $300 for aperture... i rarely buy software, but felt like it was worth it.
Got home, pluggin in my D80, and found out that the NIKON D80 is not supported.
Im so furious right now.. does anyone know if i can return it and get a refund? I dont see how Aperture cant support a Nikon DSLR's raw format....
Hello mr. Lightroom.

I found a way to fool Mac OSX into “supporting” raw photo data from a camera which Aperture does not understand. My understanding is that OS X and Aperture will normally only work with DNG files which originate in cameras for which Apple has written its own system-level defaults. These defaults are stored in a file called Raw.plist deep in your System folder. But many of the unsupported cameras have data which match the supported cameras very closely, or exactly. So the trick is to tell OS X how to interpret a DNG from an unsupported camera in terms of how it does it for a supported one.
Don’t worry, it’s not very hard. Here is the process I went through:
1. I offloaded the raw images from the camera, and then converted them to .dng files using Adobe’s DNG Converter (free from the Adobe website).
2. I imported one .dng file into Aperture, and then looked at the Metadata View: EXIF - Expanded. The file has the entries “Camera Make: LEICA” and “Camera Model: D-LUX 3”, which I wrote down. Then I closed Aperture
3. I found a .plist editor on VersionTracker called PlistEdit Pro, which is shareware. If you have the developers tools installed, I believe, you can use the app called Property List Editor. I made a backup copy of the file System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/I mageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Raw.plist, put it in a safe place, and then opened the original file in its original location with the .plist editor.
4. I found an entry which looked similar to my camera. There was a Property List called LEICA-DIGILUX 2, which was just a string, whose value was Panasonic-DMC-LC1. My guess is that this tells the system that if the metadata on the .dng file says that it came from a Leica Digilux, treat that file exactly as if it came from that Panasonic, for which there is a more detailed recipe later in the .plist file.
5. I duplicated the Digilux entry, and then edited the Property List name to be LEICA-D-LUX 3 (following the syntax of the original entries in Raw.plist, i.e. MAKE-MODEL, all caps, and a hyphen between make and model), and I left it as a string referring to that Panasonic camera. (You have a backup of Raw.plist, right? So you can try lots of things without worry.)
6. After saving the .plist file, I opened Aperture up, and discovered that the .dng file I had imported earlier was now displayed more or less properly. I have bad color vision, so I can’t make any judgments about whether the profile for the Panasonic works well. It seems fine to my color-sighted wife.
The applicability of this fix to other unsupported cameras is for you to discover.
A side note here is that I had some screwy behavior in Preview and iPhoto after messing with this stuff until I repaired permissions on my hard drive and restarted the computer. Then everything was back to normal and the fix still worked. I can’t say that I know what caused the strange behavior, but I recommend doing both of those things immediately after applying the fix just to be safe.

CS5 not supporting Nikon D5200

I have CS5 and have downloaded the DNG raw convertor 7.4 but it doesnt convert all the files in a folder and I am in a mess - my new camera Nikon D5200 is not supported in CS5 I was looking to upgrade to CS6 but cant find a genuine product anywhere

Hello!
You can purchase a CS6 upgrade from Adobe directly. Well, you first need to search for CS6, then you need to click on the "full" to see "upgrade" http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?promoid=KFTMT
Are you trying to use the converter directly on the memory card, or better, on a folder on your hard drive?

Nikon Coolpix P2

Does anyone know if the Nikon Coolpix P2 is compatible with iPhoto? It isn't listed with the compatible cameras but I know that there are compatible cameras that aren't listed.

Julie,
I am 99% sure it will be compatible. If you go to Nikon's website and dig around, you can find the page that describes their software:
http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=61&p_created=1029180813&p_sid=BR_kNovi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=& p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0xMDk2JnBfcHJvZHM9JnB fY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MQ* *&p_li=&ptopview=1
Every software product they list has a Mac version. That's a very good sign. They even let you download it from their website, so you can try it out. The specs for your camera say it comes with Picture Project. I had a Nikon 2 years ago, and Picture Project did work in my Mac.
On the othere hand, if you like using iPhoto, chances are that the camera's included software will be of little use. Many people don't bother installing it at all. You can try connecting the camera with the USB to see if the Mac recognizes it and import from it. If it doesn't work without software, then install the software or use a card reader. Remember, Nikon says it IS Mac compatible. It might even have some decent editing capabilities, or some cute templates for greeting cards and such.
If this is the only thing keeping you from buying the camera, then I'd say it's a safe bet to go ahead and buy it.

"Canon SLR EOS 40D" *Aperture and Canon's CR2 RAW files not supported.*

Hi,
I just started playing with Aperture, and with my brand new *Canon SLR EOS 40D* camera. One problem, Aperture is not recognizing the RAW file format. I am using RAW Fine**-L. Even with that it doesn't even see the JPG shots in Aperture. Went to the Canon site and it shows CR2 format. IPhoto 08 sees the JPG files just fine, It also sees the RAW files just doesn't know what to do with them. I know that RAW files are not supported on IPhoto 08. The camera is only been out a few months, but still lost on why Aperture doesn't support the format. Maybe I am missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance....

For some reason or another Adobe Photo Shop 7 is no longer supported in Leopard. When you lunch Photo shop 7 in Leopard. You get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a Program error. Photo Shop will now exit." even if you reinstall the program, still you get the same error. Photo Shop 7 is Not the latest and greatest, but in most cases, that is all you need. Not sure if they plan on a fix, so for now I put that program on a shelve.
Hope that helps
