Problems w/ camera connector/importing pictures

Whenever I try to import photos to my iPod and then try to view them after, they disappear. Then I have to reset it, turn it off a few times, play a song, stop it, go back to the main menu...just to have the pictures show up again. Also, sometimes it doesn't import all of the pictures on my sd card so then I have to redo it. I could almost deal with all of the hassle except I went overseas recently and had to use my iPod to store all my pictures so I could reuse the cards, and several times I thought I had lost all of my pictures. It's really starting to drive me insane.

I am having the exact same problem! I "import" the pictures and they are there. Then I get out of that and go back in to look at them and they are gone! Help1

I'm facing a problem with my ipad3 importing picture from ipad to my windows PC,my pc says port problem..What should I do?

my ipad is 3rd generation+cellular. ios7.1.2 .storage capacity 13.2 GB

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

IPod hangs when importing pictures using camera connector

Hi gurus !
I've got a camera connector to load my pictures from my
Nikon D-70 to my iPod video.
Once connected, the import started ...
There are 92 pictures and after picture 50, the iPod has
hanged and nothing else than reseting the iPod could I do.
I decided to start over again, and after reseting the iPod,
I did it again with the same result, now on picture 58.
Could anyone tell me about anything similar to this and how
to sort this out ?
Thx. Javi.

Had kind of the same problem (sony a-100 camera, about 600mb on the memory card). But my ipod would go crazy: would no play music or videos, would not download again (said that there are 0 pictures in the camera).
Frustrating since I was on vacations, without a computer... In the end I just used a pc, and avoided using the camera connector... I'm trying to figure out *** happened (did hapen 9 times...

I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format" They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD. What is the fix to this problem?

I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem. Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem? It will only accept import from a CD.

CANON 350D with Apple camera connector problem !

Dear all,
Can somebody help me out with the following problem:
When I connect my 350d to my new Apple video 60GB via the original Apple camera connector I get the message device unknown and it simple will not import any images stored on the 350 D
Hope you can help since i'm now on holiday with a lot of phot

I just got one of the camera connectors today and got it to work with the A620. My iPod froze the first time; I think because I plugged in the camera before turning it on. I've only transferred a few pictures so far. I'll probably fill up my 512MB card this week and see what happens. I'll repost if I have any problems.

Viewing photos imported with camera connector

Hello,
I just purchased a camera connector and was immediatedly able to import photos from my camera with no problems. However, the manual states that I should be able to view the photos by (1) Choosing Photos > Photo Import, and then choose the roll I want to view and (2) Choosing Browse to display my photos.
The problem I'm having is that after I choose my roll it only shows the roll info (11 photos, size 17.3 MB) and options for Delete Roll or Cancel. There is no Browse.
I'm using a 60 GB Video iPod with version 1.2 firmware.
Any help would be appreciated. I've already searched the discussions and didn't see anyone with this exact issue.
Thanks.

False alarm I guess. I didn't change any settings on the camera or iPod, but now I can browse through the imported pictures. Curious.

Crash during picture transfer with Camera Connector

I searched on various places and have found some people have similar issues but I have not seen a solution.
I have a Casio Exilim EX-Z4 and a brand new iPod Video 80Gb. For my holiday, I borrowed a Camera Connector from a friend of mine and briefly tested the combination with a couple of pictures on the SD card of the Casio camera. This worked fine.
However, it did turn out not to work well. As the SD card contains approx 100 pictures, I left the iPod alone during the copy. After a while, it appeared to have finished. But looking at it, only 30 or so pictures had been copied. And even worse, the iPod did not work as it did before. It could not play any media anymore.
A reset did the trick, but it did not solve the Camera Connector problem. Next import, the same happened but then the pictures could not even be seen on the iPod. Had to reset again. I tried several times, different SD cards in the camera, all the same predictable result.
Coming home, iTunes suggests a firmware update to 1.2.1 so I hoped this would solve the problem. Unfortunately not, I am still unable to use the Camera Connector and have to reset the iPod when I try to do.
Is there any solution to this?

I had the same problem with an 80GB Ipod and a Canon s50. I found that the only way to get back the ability to play the media was to drain the battery completely, and then recharge. Things would work then. When I went to look at my photos, I noticed that the "difficult roll" had only transfered 49 of 500 pictures, and you couldn't view any of the transfered pictures. I deleted the roll but was never able to successfully transfer the pictures from the card - I tried 3 times with the same result. I'm actually returning the camera connector and the Ipod.

Problem with ipod camera connector

i am trying to use the ipod camera connector. there are 3 recurring problems.
sometimes, the ipod says that there is no picture in the connected camera. in the apple support website, it says that i have to reconnect the camera connector but that does not help.
recently, altough all pictures are still on the ipod in the same files as before (i have checked by using the ipod as an external drive), the ipod said that all rolls were empty.
finally, when going on the "photos" part of the ipod, it sometimes does not even show the "import" menu and therefore does not allow viewing the existing pictures altough they are on the ipod.
any help welcome

I have the same problem as you but after reading through all the posts I found this worked for me "Ipod reset (on hold, off of hold, press menu and centre buttons for 6 seconds) then after it has rebooted unplug then replug your camera connector (at this point it may well work but if you still get "Unsupported device" or no card inserted then power cycle your camera, a bit long winded but this is the only way I could get my Canon 20d to work!

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as 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?

Camera connector problem

I have a Fujifilm F10 digital camera, iPod 4G with click wheel and camera connector. I have once successfully managed to transfer 6 photos from the camera to iPod with the connector. I just plugged them together and it did it automatically. I have now taken a lot more pictures and a few short videos. I tried the same again and it keeps saying "Card not inserted". I have checked the card is working in the camera and that all of the leads are tightly together. Any idea what the problem might be? Could it be due to the video clips?

Make sure the 30 pin dock connector on the USB adaptor isn't damaged or dirty, if that isn't the case, plug the camera in, and then the adaptor. If that doesn't seem to work the adaptor may be defective.

Photo Transfer Problem From Minox Dcc M3 to Ipod via Camera Connector

Hi,
I have a minox Dcc M3 digital camera,and i recently purchased a 5th generation ipod with the intention of downloading images from my minox camera direct to the ipod, so that i could delete the images from my camera and carry on taking more pictures without having to carry my laptop around with me, The camera only has a 32mb built in flash memory and will not download direct to the ipod via an ipod camera connector,I have tried other cameras that only have built in flash memory and none of them will download direct to the ipod, Has anyone out there come across this problem before,according to apple the ipod supports the following image transfer protocols:- PTP
Type 4 (or Normal)and Mass Storage.Could anyone tell me if there is any firmware update for the ipod or camera that would make the ipod compatible with the cameras flash memory and allow me to download my images to my ipod.

I don`t think there is an option to turn on or off any transfer protocols,on connecting the camera to windows xp it connects staight away and viewing/downloading photos is no problem,it works the same as my other camera no problem.I have followed apples procedure of connecting (ie:-turn on ipod/connect camera connector/turn on camera and connect usb cable) the camera then shuts off immediately,i can turn it on again but all i get from the ipod is the message "ready to connect".It seems to me that the ipod does not even know the camera is connected?,looks like maybe this camera is not compatible with ipod,but i cannot help but think that other camera makes with built in memory would suffer from the problem.

Problem for import picture of sony nex-5 with lightroom 5

I have Lr 5 on os X and I don't understand when I import picture of Sony NEX-5, my pixel size is 4592 x 2576 instead of 4592 x 3056.
So the picture render is cut only on lightroom and is good on mode preview on Mac
Thanks for your help

Thank you e2photo.
Yesterday I found a similar post about the same issue with a new Canon camera. They fixed the problem by copying the files from the camera to a folder on the computer. Then they loaded the files into AP3 from the folder. Great news; it worked!!
Thank you for your thoughts on iMovie as I had not tried to download movie content yet. You prompted me to do a little trial. No problem. iMovie 08 read the ACVHD movie and it looks great.
Kind regards,

Camera connector, nikon 3200, 0 pictures

I have a fifth generation video ipod, 30 GB, software version 1.1.2 and tried syncing pictures from my Nikon 3200 using the camera connector. It has worked fine for two imports of a few (50) pictures but on the third import, it seemed to stop during the import (full battery) and disconnect the camera. Since this has happened, I cannot see any of the previously imported photos and cannot import new ones at all. When I connect the camera, it will show 0 pictures in 0kb and trying to "Import" tells me that "an error occured". I have tried to remove the foto folder (103APPLE or 103IPOD or so) from the ipod, I still cannot see any of the picture scrolls that are still there. Any idea what I could do? If resetting the ipod would mean I lose all pictures and music then I couldnt do that now as I am on vacation already... any other ideas what I could try to "reset" the photo import?

Your pictures might be "on the ipod" but not "there" in the sense that you do not see them under "Photos"; at least it was like that for me. What I did was connect the ipod to my computer, use it as harddisk and copy the "DCIM" folder contents to my harddisk - that way I got all the pics that are there. Then I deleted the DCIM folder and reset the ipod, which is like rebooting it; that seemed to help. I could play music again and with the camera on "PTP", the photo import worked as well - this time I just jogged the clickwheel from time to time, I wonder if this made any difference with the energy-saving or so? After the import of 127 pictures, the pics were on the ipod but not shown under "Photos"... again I connected the ipod to a PC, copied the pics (not deleted them) and after disconnecting the ipod, the pics were suddenly there as "Roll 1"... shrug fsck knows why.
So, deleting the seemingly broken DCIM folder and "rebooting" the ipod seemed to do the trick for me, your mileage may vary... good luck!
hm all together I am a little disappointed by the not-dependable performance of the camera connector even my camera is "supported", I have the newest firmware for ipod and camera. No idea why sometimes the pictures just imported do not show up...

I am trying to import pictures to IPAD 2 via Ipad Connector. Use to work now it does not. Any clues?

I am trying to import pictures to IPAD 2 via Ipad2 Camera Connector (Flash). Use to work now it does not. Any clues? I am a neophyte to Apple products...

If you are using a flash card, as opposed to an SD card, then I assume that you are using a third-party card reader with the kit ? If so what error, if any, are you getting e.g. a 'requires too much power' error ?
Also how are the photos getting onto the card ? If you are adding them yoursefly then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
