QUICKTIME 7 and KODAK EASYSHARE CAMERA - Incompatibility

Hi, newbie so sorry if already covered this.
My KODAK camera (V610) plays .mov files perfectly on quicktime 6 that came with the camera. I had to install Quicktime 7 to get my IPOD to work and now the .mov files dont play (get sound but no picture). Have tried to uninstall and reinstall but no joy. HELP

kodak support is very helpful, did you ask them if their software has an update?

Iphoto won't import photos from Kodak EasyShare Camera

I have alsways been able to import photos from my canon camera directly into iphoto. I just purchased a Kodak Easyshare Camera. When I hook it up to my computer, it won't import the photos. The camera does come with it's own EasyShare Software - but I really don't want to import it into my computer. I want the photos to import directly into iphoto library. My Canon Camera still imports into the library. Help.

sunnydays:
Does System Profiler recognize the camera when it's connected? What version of iPhoto and Quicktime are you at. If not the latest then I suggest you update to 6.0.0 and 7.2 respectively. I'd also update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you have iPhoto erase the memory card after each upload? If so, I strongly recommend against it as I've seen too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete erasures. It's safer to have the camera reformat the card after the upload.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

What update are you referring to? If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras.
So far there's no known fix. The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

Importing photos from Kodak EasyShare camera

I am attempting to import photos from my Kodak EasyShare CX7300 camera into iPhoto. I have uploaded photos from this camera onto the computer before, but for some reason, I am no longer able to do so. I have checked the cord connections of both the USB port and the camera, and both are fine. When I plug the camera into the computer and turn the camera on, the green light on the camera flashes and iPhoto opens, but the import process does not begin. I have been unable to find a way through which I can manually import the photos into iPhoto. I cannot install the EasyShare software that came with the camera because of restrictions placed on the computer by my school. Any suggestions, other than a new camera or a better computer? :-D Like I said, I've imported photos from the same camera to the same computer... why isn't it working now?????

Jamie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A workaround until the reason for the problem is found is to use Image Capture to manually upload from your camera. It came with the Mac and is located in your Applications folder.
Have there been any software updates run just before this started occurring? What version of iPhoto are you running?
As a first step run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.

IPhoto and Kodak EasyShare software

I find myself using Kodak's EasyShare software a lot more than iPhoto-- especially since I can click on the slide show and see both photos and videos in the same slide show--
BUT with both programs, my photo/video folders are getting huge-- over 25 gb. How can I put "8000 of my photos" (out of 9000) into another folder on an external hard drive and keep the last 1000, but then at a later time access all the photos (combine them again on 1 hard drive) without having the software show a "?" on the photo and thus having to relocate each photo individually... i.e.--> how to backup the folder, but then add new photos to the smaller "new" main folder, then recombine these without having lost any pictures or information...
This must be a concern of others-- any comments on both iPhoto and if possible Kodak EasyShare as well-- THANKS!

Stephen:
You can do that with iPhoto 6 but not V5. iPhoto 6 has an option to import just alias files into the library and leave the full sized files where ever you want. Then you can change the preferences back to normal and import the full sized image files of those you want on the boot drive into the library. OR, keep them all on an external HD. Here are some Tutorials describing how to convert to an alias based system.

IPhoto 6 and Kodak EasyShare 5.2.2

Is anyone using the excellent software from Kodak called "EasyShare"? Latest version for Mac is 5.2.2 although version 6 is out for windoze and "soon" for Mac.
I like EasyShare because since Feb 2004 when I got my first Kodak Camera, I could import videos from the camera and stills and show both in the same slide show. iPhoto could not do that-- not sure if it can in version 6.
What I'd like to hear is the pros and cons of both if anyone out there has used both. I'm not sure I want to switch 9700 photos at 25 gb of size (including videos) from EasyShare to iPhoto-- but it may be an advantage to do this.
Thanks and regards,

Stephen:
I don't know if easy share can use keywords or manage the photos in subsets like albums, etc., but if you already have your photos in a pre-defined folder system and would like to keep them that way you can use iPhoto in it's alias mode (see iPhoto's Advanced preference section) and keep your original files right where they are. Any edits done on a photo will create an edited version, leaving the original untouched. One downside is that if you delete a photo from iPhoto's library it does not delete the original source file. That must be done by you via the Finder. Here are some Tutorials on using iPhoto's alias mode that may give you an idea about it. With iPhoto's alias system you can use both EasyShare and iPhoto on the same set of source files. But if you edit a file from EasyShare or the Finder it will not update the thumbnail in iPhoto.
Also check out the iLife/iPhoto page at Apple's site to get a good idea of the many organizational virtues of iPhoto. As I said I'm totally unfamilar with the Kodak application so can't compare the two. Good luck.

Kodak digital camera and iphoto

Hello
I have a Kodak digital camera. When I connect it to my imac (osx 10.3 ilife 05) I photo comes up
Asks me if I want to import, and everything works fine except it never mounts on the desktop. I want to dome editing , copy back to the camera and then print photos on the Kodak printer.
Thanks fred

I have that same camera but iPhoto was able to recognize it after downloading the firmware and Kodak EasyShare update. Does the computer recognize your camera at all, through another program like Image Capture? If so, then you might just need to go to iPhoto's preferences and check off the box about opening iPhoto (or any image application you prefer, like Photoshop) when the camera's plugged in. Good luck!
I seem to have the opposite problem on my system-- iPhoto now thinks my camera is always connected, even when it's unplugged and sitting in my bag.

Help with Kodak Easyshare v1253 camera

I am a new Mac owner and I recently got a new Kodak Easyshare v1253 digital camera. iPhoto doesn't seem to recognize it. I've tried installing the Kodak software and the firmware for the camera with no luck.
Does anyone know if this camera is compatible with iPhoto '08? Does anyone have one who could tell me how to get it to connect? I'd really like to get my pictures off it!
Thanks!

I am unable to import photos into I Photo from my Kodak Z700 camera. any solutions?

I have tried over and over again to import photos from my Kodak Z700 camera intoI Photo. I keep getting the essage that the format is incorrect. Any Solutions?

There has been a problem between iPhoto and Koday EasyShare cameras for quite a while now, since Snow Leopard. It appears to be something Apple can't fix so the problem lies with Kodak. See the topic at the right under More Like This.
The workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card from the camera.

Software for Kodak EasyShare C875 Camera - To Install or Not?

I just purchased the Kodak EasyShare C875 Camera. It came with a software disk.
Should I just plug the camera into my Mac and let it do the rest and ignore the software installation disk?
Or should I install the Kodak software before connecting the camera to the Mac?
I tend to let the Mac do the deciding for me. I'm not using any video from the camera, only still images. And I use iPhoto 6 exclusively to store my images.
iMac (early 2006) 17-inch display Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Then why bother with the extra software?
Plug in the camera and see if iPhoto sees it okay. If it does, then there's no compelling reason to install the extras.

Camera connector and Kodak camera

Hi all,
will my Kodak DX7630 camera be compatible with the iPod Camera connector? It doesn´t show up in the compatibility list, but perhaps it will although work...

The Camera Connector is a USB adapter. If your camera can unload via USB to a PC it should probably work. Haven't tried mine yet but it looks slick.
Actually I just did. Hooked up my Sony T1 docking station to it and it works great. Perhaps a little slower than to the G5 but very acceptable and potentially very handy.

Looking for some way to convert these kdc files to jpeg or any format that can be read with photoshop elements.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

kelly,
If the information on this site is correct, Irfanview may open the file for you.

If it works, then you can save as JPEG via Irfanview
Irfanview is a great, free, program which you can down load.

I recorded 1 hour and 6 minutes of footage on my Kodak Zi8 Camera in WVGA mode. When I connect it to my Macbook Pro, the .MOV file that it creates is only 59 mintues. I can still view the full footage on the camera itself. I just can't export it. HELP!!!!

So it is cutting off the end at 59 minutes? How large is the file that is being exported? You may be running up against a file size limitation.

Kodak DCS Camera Manager and the Mac Book

Hi,
I am new to this, so please forgive any errors in this post.
I cannot get my Kodak DCS camera manager software to work with my new Mac Book via the Firewire connection. The camera manager software searches for a camera when run but cannot find the camera I have connected to the Mac Book's Firewire port. I am using a new Firewire Cable. I know the camera is Ok because it works fine on our PC Laptops.
Any other photographers come across this problem? Any help greatfully received.
Thanks.
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi All,
As an update to this post, I have been in contact with Kodak regarding the problems outlined in this thread. Kodak confirm that the DCS Pro Camera Manager is not compatible with Intel based Mac's. Kodak also confirm that no further development will be undertaken with the software.
I feel this is a very poor show considereing the cost of the DCS Pro14n camera body bought 3 years ago. I also understand that it is still possible to purchase a Pro 14 camera even though Kodak have stopped production.
This means that photographers could purchase a camera which will not offer the camera manager facilities on the latest Apple equipment. Companies such as Kodak should offer some form of contract with their equipment stating that support will be available for a 6 year period from the date of firat release - a resonable lifetime for such equipment.
As a company we have decided, after contacting Kodak, to replace all Kodak equipment we use with another make and we will not make any further purchases from Kodak in any form.
Again, thank you to all who read and replied to the original post.
Regards,
Mike.

Suddenly iphoto freezes and stops responding when I connect my cameras to download both photos and video. I've never had a problem downloading from these cameras before today. I have both a Nikon D700(SLR) and Kodak HD Zi8(pocket camecorder).What to do?

I've tried checking for updates (none necessary), running v 9.1.5
Everytime I open it and connect a camera I have to force quit because it stops responding and won't upload.
It's uploaded from both these cameras before with no problem.
How can I fix this?

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?
