Raw photos corrupted by iPod

On a recent trip to South Africa, I downloaded my photos from my Sony Alpha 100 camera to my Ipod as I was informed it was possible to do, and on my initial attempts it worked without problems.
However, after downloading my 800 photos from my Ipod to my MacBook Pro (I am currently using Apple Aperture trial version), it had corrupted all bar about 10%, and now all have deteriorated beyond recognition.
Can anybody help me as to how I may recover these photos or what I can do to prevent it happening in future.

It's an SL1 but as the photos import fine into other photo apps I don't believe it's the camera. It (and all of my Canon cameras imported fine prior to the last raw update)

Canon RAW Photos Corrupted in iPhoto

Any card reader to transfer Compact Flash Raw photos to Ipod 5G

Hi I have a Canon 10D digital camera and have a 2Gig Compact Flash Card, I would like to know if there's any compact flash card reader for Ipod video (5th Gen Ipods) so I can use it as a Hard Drive and transfer my RAW photos to the Ipod.
Any suggestion o this or tips on this kind of card reader for Ipod.

Hi vchavez,
I've got a Nikon D70, use it with camera connector and the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 15-in-1 Media Card Reader/Writer (model no. F5U249ea) google it!
Works fine, there was a website with a list of compatible card readers, but it seem to have took the article away, the belkin above was the one on the list, thats why i got it!
Happy Shooting.

Photos (thumbnails) in iPod Classic got "corrupted"

I have no idea of how to describe with words, this is a shot of what's going on with my iPod.
http://bdweb.no-ip.com/Images/iPodClassicPhotos.jpg
It happens on some photos in my iPod, they can be viewed as normal pictures by clicking the centre button, but the thumbnail are corrupted.
I've already tried to restore the iPod, which is no good. All pictures were synchronised from iPhoto.
Thanks!

Make sure that all your software (iTunes, iPhoto, and the software on the iPod) is up-to-date.
Then, go through the restore process once more...
Restore iPod
Everything should be deleted off the iPod, and don't put the pictures back on yet. Uncheck the option to synchronize pictures. Let the iPod update with all of your music and eject it when it's done.
Now, go back and reconnect the iPod and put the pics on. See if they load properly.
Finally, does everything work okay in iPhoto? Are there any errors, weird messages when syncing w/ iTunes, etc.?

Corrupted RAW photos in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite) from Nikon D800

Since upgrading to Yosemite (OS 10.10.1) and iPhoto 9.6, all my RAW photos imported into iPhoto from my Nikon D800 appear to be corrupted.
The thumbnails contain pixellated boxes over the image. It appears that if I go into Edit mode within iPhoto and adjust anything (such as Enhance, etc), the pixellated box goes away and the image is restored. That's one way to fix the problem, but in researching I see that others have fixed the problem by removing the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle from the System Library and downloading a newer version (OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support)
The problem is -- the latest RAW Compatibility Update version for Yosemite 6.02 appears to be the one I currently am using (in my System Folder).
In that same article referenced above, my Nikon D800 is listed in an earlier version simply titled "Supported by Yosemite 10.10".
Could it be that the RAWCamera.bundle 6.02 is causing my problem and I need to go back to an earlier version?
If so, how do I do that? The upgrade to Yosemite and the subsequent upgrade to its compatible iPhoto 9.6 was done at the same time - no backup in between.

You could try to downgrade to RAW support 6.01. It helped for the same camera in this case:
Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

Ipod view RAW photos?

Hi there, everyone.
Just wondering if the ipod and itunes is able to view RAW files? I shoot all RAW these days and I'd still love to take my photos with me on my ipod.
Before I could do this with my jpeg photos, just by pointing my pictures folder.
Now my RAW files are in my picture folder (all RAW now)....
So, is it possible to view RAW photo files on my ipod-video?
thank you.

One other thing some cameras save two copies of an image, raw and jpeg, so you may already have jpegs to put on your ipod. But this depends on your camera.

Raw photos are corrupted on import

some of my raw photos are coming in completely corrupted
the original files in aperture are fine and have a backup elsewhere but am wondering if there's anything that can be done to prevent the problem?

There are so many possible problems here, that we'll need much more information.
1. What camera? What file type? Is the camera fully supported?
2. How are you importing? Direct from the Camera? Via a USB Card Reader?
3. What's the nature of the corruption? What's the difference between the corruption in Aperture and the problem in iPhoto?
Any more info you can add will help.
Regards
TD

I have many of those lost photos on my iPod. How can I import those to my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization kicking in and removing them?

I lost rather a lot of photos on a corrupted external storage device. I have many of those photos on my iPod. How can I import those
photos into my MacBook Pro without the iTunes synchronization function kicking in and effectively deleting those photos I want to
import from that iPod? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as those photos now only reside on that iPod...

The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

How can I keep my RAW photo files from converting to JPEG???

Hello briggiebunny
If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Editing RAW photos in PSE 12

you are not doing anything wrong but it looks like the editor preference file is corrupted. You can recreate the settings by doing this:
1) Close everything on your computer that is open and launch PSE to go to the welcome screen like this:
2) Now before clicking on anything, press:
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT with one hand (left hand) and keep it pressed while also clicking on the editor icon (with your other hand on the left mouse click) shown in red box in the above picture . Keep it pressed until you see another window like this:
When you get this window, just click on Yes button and hopefully it should correct itself.
good luck and post back.

Can't download RAW photos from EOS30d

I have just started using a Canon EOS 30d, but am unable to download the RAW photos (.cr2) that I have taken. I have tried downloading direct from the camera, and also using a cardreader but no joy. Had no problems downloading RAW from a EOS 300d, but they were .crw files. I'm puzzled!!
Thanks in advance for your help.

jayne410:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What system version are you using. Tiger does support the EOS 30D as shown here.
You might have to convert them to dng files and use that format. You can get it here: Adobe DNG Converter for Macintosh. It might work on the new cr2 files.
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.

RAW photos are purple when imported

Aperture has just added RAW support for my Olympus E-M1. I took several photos in JPG+RAW. When importing them to Aperture the JPGs were fine but some, not all, of the RAW images became purple. Is this an Aperture problem, an SD card problem, or camera problem? Someone told me to reformat my SD cards because I had been using them on my Nikon camera, so I did. Could this be the problem? Also, when I put the SD card in my MacBookPro again, it showed up in Finder but not in the Import menu. Could this also be related to not reformatting the card before taking RAW photos? I haven't had the problem with JPGs with this camera.
Thank you for any help.

There a a number of different issues at play.
This is the embedded preview extracted using Exiftools. The preview is 3200 x 2400 which is 4 x 3. (I resized it here upload speed).
However, the embedded preview when seen in Aperture, is squashed into a 3 x 2 format image:
When the raw is loaded, this is what is seen.
As well as the purple issue, the file is cropped at the top and bottom and stretched back to 4 x 3 format. Very weird!
Aperture is mis-interpreting the files data, especially the blue channel which is all hunched into the image midtones.
If you add a curves adjustment and use auto (the coloured version) it will get the image a bit closer, I then tweaked the curves (and also used WB and Levels) to get the image closer:
However, obviously, the image is still cropped.
Here are the curves for each of the RGB channels. I added a second curve, to tweak the blue becuse it was hard to work with with the data all hunched up.
You don't need to be concerned about your raws. I checked them in RawTherapee and they seem fine and corruption-free.
I'm convinced this is an Aperture issue, where one of the settings is confusing Aperture (look for a common theme in the affected images, did you choose to shoot in 3 x 2, is it just the long exposure ones, etc).
When Apple releases a fix, your images should return to normal.
In the mean time, you can use Exiftool to extract the embedded previews to have 3200 x 2400 jpegs to play with, or use an alternative convert to create TIFFs for using in Aperture.

Iphoto lost all photos - can i copy photos back from ipod to mac?

Had an issue with corrupt files in my iphoto library. Did a bunch of stuff and upgraded etc....now iphoto is running fine...
lost a bunch of photos.. basically all corrupt and/or missing
I do have them all on my 5th gen ipod... is there anyway i can transfer photos FROM my ipod TO my mac????

Yes and no. If you had the iPod set to copy the photos as originals, then you will get the "original" photographs back (turn on disk mode and you will find them easily enough). If however, you didn't have this preference set then you will not have the "proper" photographs on there. You will just have the small scaled images which you can see on the iPod. However, if you enable disk mode you should balso be able to get these if you so wish. After all, the thumbnails will be better than nothing if the photos were important.

Importing RAW photos into iPhoto 6

I recently upgraded to iLife '06 for the sole purpose of working with RAW photos. I kept getting error message "Unreadable file(s)", so I thought i'd upgrade to OS 10.4.5. Still I receive the same error message. I can click on the file and see it's profile and a thumbnail by using "Get Info", but I cannot import the RAW files into iPhoto 6 at all. Online and phone tech support keeps telling me to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as it may have something to do with deleted RAW photo in the Library. Well, I even tried to import these same RAW photos on a friend's brand-spankin'-new G5, which only had 10 photos in his Library and no deleted photo at all, but sadly this was to no avail. The same error message comes up when trying to import.
Background; the camera used is supported by iPhoto 6 (Nikon e5700), and the files are not corrupted as far as i can tell. I was able to import jpegs from the same camera card at the same time I attempted to import the RAW pix.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Solved: This response has solved my problem completely.
Actually, only Apple's engineering staff can solve my issue, but you answered the question as completely as possible. All that time on the phone and on the chat support and no one could give me that straight answer. Sad to think I upgraded iLife and my OS for the sole purpose of reading RAW photos from a camera they claimed to have supported on their own website. Someone at Apple better get on the stick.

Try using the Create iPod and iPhone Version option in the Advanced tab of iTunes. If that does not work you need a converter computer program such as the free Handbrake program (Google Handbrake video)
