Nikon Coolpix S6 - iPhoto Compatibility

I'm looking at getting the new S6 from Nikon - it has wireless capability, but I was wondering whether I could use iPhoto 5 (or 6 if it turns out I need it) to transfer photos from the camera.
Nowhere specifically lists mac support, but then again most products are ignorant of mac requirements.
And could I use the wi-fi into iPhoto? Or would I need to use Nikon's own (PC only) software?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Original Images are all in color. When Working in the editor, they appear to be ok. Then, when I escape back to the event, the image appears but the size immediately goes from the original to zero. When I go back to the editor, the image becomes all black and only reappears intact when I choose "revert to original". Bottom line appears to be that I will have to upgrade my system. Oh well.

Nikon Coolpix vs. iPhoto: Photos Black Out After Editing

Photos imported from Nikon Coolpix retain image but show 0 MB once they are edited in iPhoto. This happens more often than not, and there appears to be no consistency as to why and when it happens. This does not happen with other cameras I use, and appears to be independent of the memory card used.
I'm less concerned as to *why* it happens and more concerned to find a solution to the problem.

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
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 <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.

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.

IPhoto can't find my Nikon Coolpix S5 camera

iPhoto can't find my Nikon Coolpix S5 camera. It will not mount on my desktop. What do I do? I have used this camera for a few years and now it will not work any more. Is it the new OSX 10.5.3?
Thank you.

Ok
Does the same thing happen when connected to any of your three computers?
Is this being plugged into a usb hub or straight into the computer?
could It be the cable?
You can buy an SD card reader that is usb for less than $10 at your local Fry's
if none of the above works.
If it connects and says the pics aren't the right format, plug your camera into a peecee
and see if that works.

What is the "iPhoto transfer APP?". You use iTunes to sync your iPad and use PhotoStream to move photos

Using iPhoto with Nikon Coolpix 5900

Hi does anyone know why my camera Ive just purchased, a Nikon Coolpix 5900 is not compatible with iPhoto? Ive looked at the list on the Apple iPhoto website and its not on there.
Ive been supplied with a Nikon application called PictureViewer but Id much rather be using iPhoto. Is there anyway I can get my iPhoto to recognize my camera?
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Matt
It might be a stupid question, then, sorry for have asked it: Have you already tried if it works or just read about it?
If you have tried: Did the camera icon appear in the finder window? it should be there like an external drive or CD/DVD.
I have the same camera and haven't had any problems. just connected it and it works properly.
Usually, i start iPhoto firstly. Then, i connect my camera. After having connected you have to start your camera. after several seconds, iPhoto should recognize your camera.
actually, it works also when the camera is connected firstly and then started. in this case, iPhoto starts up on its own (or can be started manually).
Important point is that you start up your camera after having connected. the screen of the camera will be black but the telephoto will open. that's normal.

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.

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

IPod and Nikon Coolpix S2 compatibility?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying the ipod 60G but want to make sure it's compatibile with my cameras. I have a Nikon Coolpix s2 and a Canon PowerShot G3. Is it compatible with those?
Thanks!
Custom Windows XP

I really would wait till someone contacts you that has already taken the plung and physically tried it with your camera type as I checked the Ipod compatability webpage and my camera is listed but having bought the camera connector I cannot get it to recognise my Canon 20D, If you can get to a Apple shop I would take your camera and try before you buy!

HT4757 I have a Nikon CoolPix P80. Am I correct that this is simply not a sophisticated enough model to be covered by the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Updates? It is never listed. Thank you.

Raw is the raw data from the camera sensor, before it is turned into a jpg. From what I can tell looking at the specs for the P80, it does not have Raw mode. Therefore it will not show up in the compatibility table.

I can't see RAW photos (from Nikon D3100) in iPhoto...

Hi!!
I am trying to import photos from mi Nikon D3100 to Iphoto 11, but there is a problem: I can't open the photos; the files are located in the folder of Iphoto Library, but it can´t be open by Iphoto. The extension file is.raw, but i have updated Iphoto to get compatibility with this extension file.
What can I do?

I had import the photos from NikonD3100 with Iphoto; after finishing, appears a message "photos have been imported ok"or something similar. But the events created are empty, there are no photos inside. Then, I thought that the problem was in the import, but I looked for the photos in the Iphoto Library with the finder, and the files were ther. I think that the problem colud be related with the .raw extension file (but I have all updated...)
Thank you for your help from Spain
Regards
Alex

Nikon Coolpix S570

Got some help from the Geniuses at the store today. It appears that the software on Nikon Coolpix S570 cameras is not compatible with iphoto. When uploading, there is an error message saying that the files are unreadable. However, when using a universal media reader, there is no problem uploading them. The upload from the camera onto a PC works fine, but it doesn't appear to be compatible with the Mac.

If you're certain that your camera was shipped without any Mac software at all, I'm astonished. A Mac version of PictureProject is listed among the things included in the package on Nikon's web site for the 5900. The current version can also be downloaded here.
Apart from installing PictureProject, which may or may not function as a driver, all I can suggest is that you buy a USB card reader and transfer your pictures through that — if you can. If the card can't be mounted or read that way (with the camera entirely out of the picture), the card itself is corrupt, and you may want to try using PhotoRescue or MediaRecover to salvage the pictures off it. Then reformat the card in your camera — not through the Mac. It's safest never to format or erase a card or, in fact, to edit its contents in any way while it's connected to a Mac. Tinkering with their contents on a Mac is probably the most common way cards are corrupted.
After reformatting the card, test again to see whether connecting the camera to the Mac works as it used to.
