Please Help, Very Frustrated - iPhoto 11 & Canon Raw(.cr2) files

I recently started shooting raw(.cr2) with Canon 6D (on the list), while on vacation of course.... while there I loaded all my images to my Ipad to save room, due to only having my 16gb memory card with me, yesterday I decided to take them off the ipad and store them in iPhoto where all my work is stored and back it up to my external harddrive, I have tried for 4 hoursto figure out why it won't upload to iPhoto 11, nothing works, it acts as if its uploading and then after 30 mins it says unrecognizable format(see screen capture below).
I have read several other different forums and similar questions all the way back to 2005 and nothing seems to help, I tried making a smart album, updating the software, but iPhoto will not recognize the pics. I did find one forum that said use Image Capture and do it that way, It worked to move them off the ipad but only to my extrenal hard drive with no image preview, saying it cannot open the file, all I eally want to do is have them load like all my other images into iPhoto which I use almost everyday and not have to go back to shooting jpeg along...PLEASE HELP any suggestions??

Thanks everyone...I tried and even downloaded the specific software released from Canon specific for Mac for my camera a Canon 6D... Nothing worked... IPhoto never would recognize the images....
BUT ..... in case someone else has this problem... I had to jump through hoops to figure it out... but finally with the help of several forums on here... I figured out a way to save my images and have them in a jpeg format to save for my memory folder for my daughter....so I did figure out a way to make it work...
If you transfer for images from camera(in raw format .cr2) to your ipad...... and cannot load them to iphoto like me....here is how to do it....
1. I searched my Mac, it comes with a software installed called "Image Capture" find it and load your pictures on
          your ipad to a folder on your desktop for easy finding.
2. Search Google and Download Program Called Rawker....
3. Open Rawker... go to File
                              a. Select Batch - Select source Location - Select your file you saved your images in
                              b. Select File Batch - Select Source Destination - either make a file on your desktop or
                                        select where you want your newly converted RAW/jpeg images to be placed
                              c. Select File batch and Start Batch...
4. After its done with the convert - you can import that new .jpeg folder of images to your iphoto
Bunch of crazy circles because I was told it was better to shoot in Raw .cr2 ... NOT ... It might be if you have the right program but I guess none of the ones I tried worked....
Until I find a better way I will just go back to shooting in jpeg fine.
Thanks again Everyone

HELP! Cannot open Canon RAW (CR2) file in PP5.5.2 (Mac)

Hi folks.
I cannot import RAW (CR2) files (Canon 5D2) files into premiere pro 5.5.2!
I can get them into After Effects (through cameraraw) but PP does not even show them as a "supported file type"
If I drag and drop from the finder I get "unsupported file type" error
My understanding is that CR2 files are supported in CS5.5
Any ideas
MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
For the rest, everything seems to be "normal"
Thanks in Advance
Tom

To use Camera RAW, you will need to process the files through a Camera RAW converter. With the proper ACR module, PS, and Lightroom will handle that processing, as will the Canon utility. With Adobe ACR, make sure to update to a version that handles YOUR camera's RAW files - mfgrs. tweak those model to model, so keeping the ACR module current will insure that you can handle the particular Camera RAW files properly.
I agree with Stephen's rec. to NOT use JPEG, if ultimate quality is of a concern. In PS, I just process my Nikon, Panny or Canon Camera RAW files to PSD. I would assume that the Canon utility would have the option for TIFF, as my older one does - there is no option for PSD in it. Do not know about the newer Canon Camer RAW processing, but TIFF should be just fine.
Good luck,

After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
killall iPhoto
followed by the Return or Enter key
It might take more than one go for it to take.
Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down. Reboot and try iPhoto again.

Activation problems with Cingular. Please help very frustrated

Ok, here is the deal, I live in Orlando, FL most of the time, but I am in Michigan and I bougt 2 iphones today, that was 1000 bucks, plus 200 in security deposits. I went to cingular, payed the deposit, and now that im at home, i cant register the product. I have been on the phone with cingular suppost getting different reasons why i cant answer but i still want to check it out here. Im getting an address verification problem. The guy is saying that when we payed the sucurity deposit, we put our florida market address on file with the Pre Approved Credit Check Number. THere saying our sim cards are michigan sim cards, and its not letting me register because of the sim cards are not in the same market as the credit check number. I tunes keeps giving me an error of address though. Is anyone receiving this same problem? The error is saying that they cannot verify the address on file, as the address that im typing in, even though it is the same address. We tried changing everything to michigan, and still got the same problem. We changed the address on the credit check number, and the address that im trying to register in michigan.
Please Help
Rodd,
Thanks guys
You can only imagine that im upset not being able to even power the thing up. It wont let you go past the emergency call feature since its not activated.

Heres what you have to do Rodd...I used to be a RSM for Cingular.
First you need to cancel your first activation because your sim cards have been set up with activation in Michigan you will get a Michigan area code, prefix, etc. If you did not set it up with the exact are that you paid the deposit in, then you will not be able to activate it.
Ex: if I live in Texas, but want a California number, I have to go to Cali and set up my account, and then come back to Texas and I will have my Cali number while living in Texas.
If you tried to set it up wrong to many times it flags your account.
Either go back to the store you got them in and pay the security deposit again, or go to the closest ATT store in the area you would like to have your area code, prefix, etc. in.
Example: if you want a Michigan number, then go to Michigan..and set up your account all in the same place that you want your number....Billing addresses can be different but the activation address will be where the iPhone number is given from.
Hope this helps..God bless

Canon Raw (CR2) files seem to get corrupted after some times

Hello
I use a fully registered Lightroom 5.3 with my Canon 5D Mark III, and I have this kind of corruption on some of my CR2 files from times to times. If i reimport the .cr2 file in another catalog or even on another the resulting file is still corrupted.
The wierdest thing is that the original import was successful and I successfully exported it several times correctly. The corruption should have happens afterward:
Do you have any idea where does this comes from? This is absolutely inacceptable from a professional software.
PS: I had this kind of curruption with an old version of Lightroom with my previous pentax K7d, but I though this was past
Thanks you very much

Yes, -failing hardware (typically disk or ram).

The software is not corrupting them, it's just revealing existing corruption. (yeah, I know some apps can still display the jpeg preview without revealing the corruption, still... - Lr is a raw editor..).

Please help, very frustrated how to keep quality

ok my question is a concern i have with HD video. My goal is to import the footage into FCE, edit and then finish the project and burn to a DVD with or as close to the same quality i shot in.
I shot HD footage using an HVX200 on a p2 card. The settings were 720p 24fps 16:9.
the method of burning i was taught was to export the FCP session as a quiktime then use IDVD to burn.
Some issues i have had in the past is stretched picture,bad quality too compressed.
I just want to see if there are anyways that worked for you guys i can go by. Thank you so much for your help, first time poster long time reader.

Hey thank you very much for the reply. I was alittle lost in that thread because it went to talking about putting the file on a USB then to HDMI etc. I got lost cuz that's not really what i am asking.
The one part i get is that you can't burn HD because there is no such thing as HD DVD.
What i am asking is to keep as close as i can, is there anything i should know before importing my footage info FC like session settings etc and what are the settings i should use when exporting to quick time. Actually maybe i should mention the purpose and how the video will be used. I will be using it for high quality facebook video, and high quality youtube.
My main goal is to have it 16:9 without it looking stretched just fitting to whatever it's being viewed on?

Canon raw CR2 files are 1.33 underexposed in LR3. Why?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to lightroom and have mainly used it for some workflow with JPG files.
I'm trying to do some work with CR2 raw files from my 30D and the RAW files appear approx 1.33 stops underexposed in Lightroom 3.6.
I have compared with the camera jpg in LR3.6, the camera jpg and CR2 in canon DPP software / Breeze Browser Pro / Picasa.
I can't understand it. No presets. everything I can see is off.
In Develop > Set default settings ...I see it recognises that it is a canon 30D
Any ideas?

Hi,
I take your point... it has been good working through things.
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you what the original settings were as I deleted the files and re imported. Maybe I just clicked on something I shouldn't have! as the import was better.
But after investigation I think it may have been auto tone appplied. I found out how to remove it from import and later applied auto tone to some images and where the exposure should have been increased by ~ +.33 LR was in fact reducing Exposure AND reducing the Brightness setting too. So it was double wammy!
There is no real EXPOSURE difference between the picture styles in LR once the exposure is right for one.
I took the shots in RAW+jpg, Portrait picture style with saturation +1 (under studio lights with camera calibrated with an expodisc, and the light is also metered).
This gives me a good starting point from which I wanted to use LR to vignette, add some cool effects to multiple images and create some printing packages. For School Photos.
The LR match to DPP (Portrait > Saturation +1) appears to be roughly: Reset > Exposure + 0.33 > Saturation +10 > Process 2010 > Profile:Camera Portrait.
The image doesn't jump out quite as much but the sharpening is better than DPP.
I am finding you can do a lot more with LR than DPP but it's not always intuitive and the historgram is not as much help as the rgb output histogram on DPP which helps me get my print exposure spot on 99% of the time with ease and clinical precision - in LR its more by eye unless I'm missing something? If you use DPP you'll know what I mean
Thanks ssprengel!
OH... I re read your post camera portrait vs camera standard = no exposure difference BUT ADOBE STANDARD IS LOWER EXPOSURE and camera faithful / camera neutral is lower still.
And I think I noticed my original imports had both auto tone and adobe standard profile so that would make it about 1.33 exposure difference from DPP!!!!!!!!!!!

My iphone keeps crashing and turning itself off.....even though battery life is fine...as soon as i plug charger in it comes bcak on....help very frustrating...3g

absolutely that is frustrating. if the battery life is fine there could be two things software or hardware. to find out if your back up your information in itunes and import pictures and then restore the phone as NEW then you can test it out. if it is still shutting off it is hardware related
