Nikon D90--What Do I Need to Upload?

I am considering buying a Nikon D90 camera. The online discussion of this camera with Macintosh computers runs the full spectrum from No Problems to Numerous and Unpredictable Problems. What this tells me is that some D90 owners, and maybe most, are managing OK uploading to iPhoto. I note that the D90 RAW file format is on the support list for 'late model' OS10.5.x and 10.6.x.
I have a couple of practical questions: (1) Is there a simple setup (my user needs are basic) that will reliably allow me to upload photos that I just shot, into my iMac running 10.6.2? (2) Will this setup allow me to use Nikon's software for in-camera adjustments, or will I not have that functionality?
My intent--at least initially--is to store and image-edit these photos using iPhoto '09.
All help and suggestions appreciated! Mainly looking for a hardware setup and procedure that will work every time, and not turn into a vision quest or compatibility nightmare.
F. Horne

Plug the camera into the Mac.
or
Put the card from the Camera into a USB Card Reader and plug that into the Mac.
Launch iPhoto (If it doesn't do it automatically.)
Import.
iPhoto doesn't work with Nikon's Camera Profiles. You can probably get them working with Aperture 3.

  • What do I need to upload and how big a website is too big

    I just spent a few days of my life, that I will never get back, trying to upload my site (built in I web08) to godaddy using Cyberduck. I can't begin to tell you how painful it was, and how long it took. Finally one of the people at godaddy suggested I get Fetch, because my website was too large for Cyberduck to handle. I have no stake in Fetch, but I gotta say it was slick, and literally made 3 days of nothing but trouble go away, and the site got loaded. I have asked so many questions, taken so many 3am notes, that I am just confused and need an answer...when I try and reload my website, I am saving it, and publishing it and then publishing it to a folder so I can find it...is that the correct procedure, or have I added an additional step?
    When I just want to change a page or 2, I should just load those pages, right? When selecting those pages from my site do I need to also select the html page as well I have been doing that, but is it the right thing to do?
    Also. my web site is about 30mgs and has 107 files....is that too big for iweb to build?
    www.galleryt.org is the site...if you vist you will see that I can't get all of the links to be active...they work in iweb, all have been brought to the front, but still they don't work...any other suggestions.
    Thanks

    I don't quite understand what you mean by 're-load' my site? Anyway, when you have finished making alterations to your site in iWeb, then just save in iWeb and that saves your domain file. From inside iWeb all you are doing is using the publish to a folder option - if you don't have a MobileMe account, then you don't have the option to publish anywhere else. When you publish to a folder both your Site folder and separate index file will be stored in your User/Sites folder and you then use Fetch to upload your site form here. If you want to alter any pages of your site, then you need to makes these alterations from within iWeb, save and then publish to a folder and then upload.
    If you make changes to a few pages, then yes, you can just upload the changed pages - upload the html pages as well as the folders that goes with them. The folders contain all the info about how the pages are displayed.
    As far as the links are concerned, they all worked when I looked. If you are using the page template nav bar, just make sure that these links are not covered up by any objects or other text boxes - if they are then they will not be displayed.
    If you are having problems with links, you could always re-create them, but this time using a text based navigation bar rather than the iWeb one - go to Inspector and page and then hide the nav bar and create your own using a text box or shapes.

  • What do i need to upload an application

    Hey!!
    i just did an iphone application.. how can i put it on app store ?
    can you help me please to find the steps of uploading???
    thank you,
    Best Regards.

    You need to pay the $99 fee to register as an iOS developer
    which will allow you to upload your apps to Apple for the
    approval process before its posting in the App Store.
    There is also a good bit of "up front" work necessary to
    prepare for the upload.
    As tonefox said, best to get help in developer forum and
    also from the Apple developer site to get the information
    you need.

  • With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
    Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Single App - $19.99/month
    Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
    If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan.

  • I have a new Mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension.  I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

    I have a new mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF.  Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear.  I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one.  Any ideas?

    You do not need to convert to DNG.
    The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
    What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4.  Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
    Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually.  There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page.  You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.

    In adobe camera raw, what metadata field needs to be filled in so that if an image is uploaded to facebook by a customer, your copyright/info shows up?

    Facebook used to but now I believe it includes it. I also read that possible facebook adds metadata to images uploaded to albums but not wall posts. Regardless, what metadata field has to be filled in?

  • What upload speed do I need to upload the XL photo books with over 25 pages?

    I have just recently gotten a new Internet provider and the max upload speed I can get is 1mbps but I am only getting .4 mbps at the most.  When trying to upload an XL photo book with over 26 pages it keeps failing to transfer/upload and the error message says to check the internet connection.  I'm wondering what upload speed I need to upload?  I need to cancel this internet provider before my free month runs out if 1mbps is not going to be fast enough.

    Well I have my first order coming in tomorrow (according to Fedex) and I have my fingers crossed.
    So far I haven't been able to find any local printers that will print and bind the books at a reasonable cost - best I've found so far is $200 (or more) per book.
    Hardly cost effective for my relatively meager budget.
    I've explored Asuka a littoe more, and their quality does appear to be superior at first glance, but it seems I am not able to take advantage of submitting my aperture-generated book directly. According to their templates I have to put everything together manually in Photohop. Great for end-control, but one thing that made me pursue this was the ability to generate a book inside Aperture using versions direct from collection (any changes I made to an original image were automatically incorporated in my book. Had I done it all manually, teh time/effort I'd be putting into the book with be well over 5x greater!
    I've also looked at shutterfly.com so far - and they seem promising, and am wiating for my colleagues order to go through before I get too excited.
    Either way, I hope to have my first printing this week - I'll keep ya posted!

  • Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop.  What do I need to do to fix problem.

    Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop.  There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?

    MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
    Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
    Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
    AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

  • What do I need to do to get my cannon camera to upload pictures into iPad . When I plug it in system comes up connected USB device is not supported?

    What do I need to do to get my cannon camera to upload pictures into iPad . When I plug it in system comes up connected USB device is not supported?

    Use the camera's SD card instead.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • I can't upload film onto iMovie from Sony DSC-DVD203E, What do I need to do?

    Hi,
    I jhave a Sony DSC-DVD203E camera.
    I'm trying to upload the things I have filmed onto to my macbook so I can edit them in iMovie.
    Upon many attempts. It seems the camera and IMovie aren't communicating. I'm using iMovie 9
    What do I need to do? Thanks in advance for your help.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
