Rebel XTi camera not mounting...

I think it's because I'm shooting in JPEG and RAW format, the XTi allows you to capture in both formats at once. I don't want Bridge, Photoshop, or Aperture to do anything, I want to organize the files myself.
Aperture picks up on the .jpegs right away, and I import them into the library, but I can't view those files using the finder...

Hi Sabbry,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try here first: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=OSCompatibilitySupportAct&keyco de=macdr&fcategoryid=139&modelid=14256
The camera isn't mounting... this may be redundant but make sure Finder/Preferences/General... where it says: Show These Items on Desktop:
Check all three. Otherwise when you connect the camera to your Mac, it can't mount.
And... go to: Image Capture/Preferences. Where it says: Camera Make sure you have your options set properly.
And ... Have you considered Importing to iPhoto 6 ?? Working with photos taken in RAW format in iPhoto 6:
If your camera has a RAW setting, taking photos in RAW format lets you save every bit of photographic detail as part of the actual photo file. iPhoto 6 imports RAW-format photos just like any other photo, organizes them right next to the rest of your shots, and lets you edit them using advanced editing tools designed to give RAW photographers all the options they need to create the perfect image.
Note: To see a list of RAW-format cameras that are compatible with iPhoto 6, visit the iPhoto website http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
The first time you edit a RAW-format photo in the main iPhoto window, the RAW badge appears at the bottom of the window.
When you click Done, your editing changes are applied to the RAW image data and stored as a JPEG file (the original RAW file remains unchanged). You can save edits to a RAW photo as a TIFF file or choose to send unedited RAW files to an external editor. See Related Topics below.
RAW is a reference or "digital negative" format, not a working format. For example, you can't print directly from a RAW file. Also, other programs, such as iMovie, do not interpret RAW.
iPhoto simplifies the RAW workflow by combining RAW editing and JPEG conversion into one step. If you use an expert program like Adobe Photoshop, you have to make your adjustments to the RAW photo, then use a separate process to convert all your photos to a working format, such as JPEG or TIFF. iPhoto simplifies all that.
Note: If you edit the photo again, the RAW badge won't appear because the image is now a JPEG file. To re-edit the original, RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original. If you want to keep your first edit, choose Photos > Duplicate before Reverting.
Hopefully something I suggested will help. That's pretty cool to be able to capture in RAW and JPEG at the same time! It's just way of doing stuff but I Import to iPhoto 6. That way I have my original library available at all times. And I back up weekly.

  • Canon EOS 6D also detected as Rebel XTi camera device?

    In Winows 7 x64 whenever I plug in my EOS 6D, the EOS 6D device plus the Rebel XTi device shows up.
    I used to have a Rebel XTi, but that's the camera I upgraded.  I don't know why Windows thinks the EOS 6D is both a Rebel XTi and a 6D.
    The Rebel XTi device is detected even when the Camera switch is in the OFF position and plugged into USB.  The 6D device is only detected when the switch is in the ON position.
    I installed the 6D software from the CD but I didn't see any prior Canon software to uninstall first.
    How do I stop the XTi device from showing up?

    ddbear,
    To delete the EOS Rebel XTi, you would want to open the Device Manager the next time it's connected.  Then Find the cameras in the Device Manager.  Then you right click on the camera and click Remove or Uninstall.  This will remove the device from within your computer.  Leave your EOS 6D installed to you can still connect.

  • About cameras not mounting on the desktop in Tiger (10.4.3)

    Information for those here who have problems with their cameras or chip readers no longer mounting on the desktop.
    This has happened here too, with a Nikon D50 connected to an iMac G5 iSight 20". At first, I thought it was a lock file problem, caused by me forgetting and disconnecting the camera without first ejecting the desktop icon. But, I now think the problem is more likely caused by upgrading to 10.4.3, since I spoke with AppleCare today.
    I was told that the 10.4.3 upgrade says (somewhere) that due to changes in iSync, cameras will no longer be mounted on the desktop. I made the observation that many users of digital still cameras prefer to transfer images from the camera (or chip) using the Finder. The operator said he would escalate this issue - he didn't know why this might have been changed, but seemed to understand that it would be an issue for a number of people.
    Personally, I'm confused by the whole arrangement, which seems most un-Mac like: image handling prefs are actually set in Image Capture, despite the fact that the default app that launches when connecting a camera is iPhoto. Now, it seems, iSync is being brought into the frame (please excuse the pun!).
    Why can't the action be defined in a General Preference pane, where it would be more easily found? Well, the answer is that it surely could be - and I would suggest that it should be. And I think the prefs should also include an option to have the camera/flash chip mounted on the desktop, for access in Finder too.
    On a final note, the Nikon D50 is, I was told, not in the list of cameras supported by Tiger. Yet, when I checked with Nikon, they do not issue any drivers for the D50 and said that the drivers in Tiger are "D-series camera drivers" and, as such, are compatible with the new D50. Unfortunately, a lot of my time was wasted, because the AppleCare rep repeatedly wanted me to accept that the problem was due to the fact that this model of camera is not supported. This was despite the fact that I advised him of the fact that there are a number of threads here in the discussion forums, with users mentioning that they've had exactly the same issue with a variety of different cameras, of many brands.
    I'll report back, as and when I hear anything further from the escalation of this issue.

    You have tried a lot of things, all correct, but have you repaired permissions since reinstalling Flash?
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
    Also, how much RAM do you have? Some older G4's can struggle with today's streamed flash content.

  • Help! camera not mounting

    Hi. I am having an issue getting my Kodak Easyshare DX6440 to talk to iPhoto.
    Tis is an intermitent issue., I have iPhoto 5.0.4. I have Mac OS 10.4.8
    The camera does not even appear in image capture. I have tried to re-format the memory card but this did not help. Sometimes restarting the computer helps, but this is not acceptable. I have tried to zap the pRRAm and repai permissions.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    From what I can tell:
    1) It;s not a cable issue, I have two cables and they both have the same problem.
    2) the camera mounts right away on a win xp machine I have at work.
    3) I have the latest firmware.
    4) I have the USB cable plugged into the port in the back of my iMac G5. I have tried all the ports.
    5) When I plug the cable into the camera and turn it on, the camera comes on, but the LCD is dark, like it should when it's ready to transfer.
    6) Image capture says no device connected.
    7) Sometime, my admin account lets me see the camera in iPhoto abd get the photos that way.
    8) I don't use the easyshare software on the mac (I doon a Wim 98 box I have), but I pluged the dock in and I have the same issues.
    This has been going on for a bit, but it's real annoying and unreliable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Canon Digital Rebel XTi RAW support?

    I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi and cannot get RAW files to import into iPhoto. I even tried the Image Capture trick (downloading to disk and then importing) to no avail. The file format is listed as CR2, which is supposed to be supported. Is it possible that Canon is using a different variant of the CR2 format for this camera and that I'll have to wait for another iPhoto or OS X update?

    I'm having the same issue - RAW images (both sRGB and AdobeRGB) from the new Rebel XTi will not open in iPhoto.
    It is important to note that the same images will not open in Photoshop CS2, nor with Adobe Bridge 1.0 and even with the updated Bridge 1.0.4.6.
    I would hope that Apple will recognize that there is a significant difference in file format from the Rebel XT and the Rebel XTi - and that Apple will issue an update to iPhoto accordingly.
    For now, looks like Rebel XTi users will need to limp along on Canon's proprietary (and u-u-ugly) software provided with the XTi.

  • Canon Rebel Xti/400D Will not download Photos

    I have a canon Rebel XTi/400D . Up until recently I had no Problem downloading photos from the camera onto the MacBook. I recently downloaded an update OS 10.8.3  and can no longer download the photos .

    testdepth wrote:
    Here is why my Canon camera died.  There was a loose piece I could hear rattling around inside the camera body so I disassembled the body in order to open the body and see what fell out.  When I opened the bottom of the body a small silver screw fell out of the body.  Apparently this happens to be a problem with this model and maybe others.  A screw from the motherboard backs itself out and rolls around inside the camera body shorting out the DC/DC power board and blowing the fuse labeled "P" on the power board. When I placed a meter across this fuse it reads infinity instead of a normal dead short.
    How does a screw located inside of a camera body unscrew itself.  This is not a software issue or a failed electronics issue and this camera would still be working rihgt now if the screw had not backed out and shorted out my camera.  Canon's answer is of course that they no longer service this camera.
    It sounds as though you have two options:
    1)  Admit that it's time for an upgrade and take advantage of Canon's "Loyalty Program" to get a new camera at a good price. The XTi was a pretty decent camera in its day (my wife and I each had one), but more recent Rebels are far better. My wife's current camera, a T2i, is a major improvement, and there have been several new models since.
    2)  Since you're obviously not a newbie, try to do the repair yourself. Look around for an XTi that still turns on, but has a cracked sensor, worn-out shutter, or other fatal flaw (such a camera should be available for a pittance), and re-use its power board. You have nothing to lose but a few hours of your time.

  • My USB CF Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore. It was last week and worked fine to get pictures from my camera. Now it won't mount. I have tried another card reader and the same problem exists. Also tried different cards..

    Hi
    My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
    Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
    I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
    I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
    I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac. 
    I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
    I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
    Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
    If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
    Buy a PC
    Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
    Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
    Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
    Many thanks in advance!
    LIsa

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up.  What gives?

    When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up.   Do I need this software?  Can I just download the pictures to my Mac without using the Canon software?

    When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up
    You need to contact Canon - or read the software specs - it sounds like the software you got form them is not supported by your computer
    Do I need this software?
    Probably not - exactly what about it do you want?
    Can I just download the pictures to my Mac without using the Canon software?
    Probably - if you are shooting JPEG - launch iPhoto and in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to launch iPhoto and connect your camera - iPhoto should launch and you should be able to import
    Some cameras need to be set to mass storage mode - read your camera manual for details and procedures
    If you are using RAW then your camera needs to be on this list and you need the versions of software noted - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757 - for older OS versions you can use google to find the list of supported cameras

  • Problem Importing photos from Canon Rebel XTi -- Iphoto '08

    When I plug in USB cord to camera and MacBook, then turn on my Canon Rebel XTi, iPhoto opens up but will not read the CF card. The status light on the camera just blinks red as if it working on it but it never does show the photos in iPhoto08 and the camera doesn't show up on the sidebar either although it used to but doesn't anymore.
    I know that my CF card is ok because when I use it in my Canon Powershot S400 it works fine, and I'm able to import photos fine.
    Help please?

    Thanks, I'm fairly certain that WILL work since the card works with iPhoto in my other camera fine.
    I don't have a card reader and I'd like to figure out how to fix the problem I have with my Rebel XTi. Any suggestions on that?

  • Windows 7 64 bit canon rebel xti compatibility issue

    I am having trouble to get my canon rebel xti (400D) to work under windows 7 64 bit. You see the canon camera icon in the devices and printers window with a yellow triangle indicating it's not working properly. Did anyone have the same issue and even got an answer to it?
    Thanks.

    I believe I have a solution for you and any other XTi owners who don't have the "Print/PTP" option in their menu.  I was able to get my XTi to function with Windows 7 64-bit last night.  Here is what I did:
    1) Installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera).
    2) I downloaded the updated EOS Utility version 2.6.1 for Windows Vista x64 from here:http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=314&modelid=14256
    3) I installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed and opened without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera to download pictures).
    4) I executed the 2.6.1 EOS Utility update that I downloaded and received the following error: "Installation program of EOS Utility requires administrator priveleges" even though it was being run as an administrator.  Any compatibility options that I selected on the installation resulted in the same error.
    5) When you receive the error mentioned in the prior step, DON'T click the "OK" button.  First, navigate to the follwing path: "C:\Users\admin-user\AppData\Local\Temp\".  Inside this directory, you should see a directory named something like "CanonUPW_000".  Copy this whole directory to another location, then click "OK" on the installation program error on the screen (which removes the directory you just copied). 
    6) Open the directory that you copied in the last step and navigate to the following location: ".\CanonUPW_000\INST\INSTALL\COMMON".  You should find an "Install.exe" file in this directory.
    7) Open the properties of this "Install.exe" file, then select the "Compatibility" tab.
    8) Select the "Change settings for all users" button and select the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
    9) Under the "Privilege Level" section, select the "Run this program as an administrator", then click OK twice.
    10) Execute the "Install.exe" file.  The installation should start and finish succeffully.
    11) The EOS Utility should successfully open after you execute it (following the installation).
    12) The only thing that doesn't work exactly the same as with using EOS Utility with XP.  When you plug your camera in, the program doesn't automatically open.  After opening the EOS Utility, you can connect the camera and download pictures, or utilize the software's remote control function. 
    I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

  • IPhoto + Rebel XTi in RAW

    Recently I changed my camera to shoot in RAW format because of all the benefits it provides. Now the problem is, I have maybe 110 RAW's in my camera i'd like to load into iPhoto. Whenever I plug my camera into the computer, iPhoto opens and says they're trasnfering but after a few mins it's evident they are not (using the usb cable, I don't have a card reader).
    Can iPhoto not read the RAW's i'm trying to transfer? I read somewhere about them having to be in .cr2 format or something.
    Help please, thanks!

    Andrew:
    The Canon Digital Rebel XTi is supported by Leopard so that shouldn't be the issue. Try opening Image Capture, located in your Applications folder, and use it to upload the files to a folder on the Desktop first. Then import them into iPhoto from there.
    Although you don't have a card reader I recommend you do get one as it's a much safer method of uploading from the camera as it saves wear and tear on the camera's port and battery and avoids possible aborted uploads due to a low battery.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Canon Rebel XTI question

    After using a digital point and shoot for the last 5+ years, I have finally entered the DSLR world. I just purchased a Canon Rebel XTI last week. I haven't attempted to upload any pictures to iPhoto yet. Do I need to install any of Canon's software before I upload the pictures or will it work automatically?

    jsanders6,
    My wife has a Canon XTi (and Macbook) and there was no need to download the Canon software.
    I have a Canon D20 (and Macbook Pro) and it too loads directly into iPhoto with no difficulty.
    Apple has a listing of "compatible" digital cameras,but even some cameras not listed may load without difficulty.
    I would not load the Canon software,especially if you plan on using iPhoto to manage your library of photos.
    Good luck,
    Scott

  • PSE7, Windows 7 (64bit) and Rebel Xti

    I upgraded my computer a few months ago and installed PSE7. Everything seems to work fine so far... except for one little glitch with my Canon Rebel Xti. When I connect the camera to the computer to download new photos, the automatic dialogue box that used to come up in Elements when I was using Windows XP doesn't come up automatically anymore. Instead I actually have to open the Elements Editor and manually select "Get Photos". Not a huge deal, just a few extra steps. I thought it had something to do with my settings - either for my camera director or possibly for PSE7, but if that's the case, I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    There is a driver released back in July '09 that supports Windows 7 64bit.

  • Hard Drive not mounting on start up, or not mounting at all.

    Recently, as some of you may know, I've had hard drive problems. I didn't get it fixed, but the problems came and went and I didn't have time to send it away.
    But 2 weeks ago, before I went on holiday, I ran TechTool Deluxe which came with my 3 year Apple Care. It ran, found errors on the drive (something like -38 or -58 errors), so I started repair. It was after 7 hours that I held down the power button, because it just wasn't going anywhere. It had been on the same step and task for 7 hours and kept giving me every now and then the message of "Working...". But that screwed the drive more, as when I turn it on, I get the message stating to restart.
    I'e tried getting at the files using this PowerBook and FireWire, using all the correct techniques, but the drive wouldnt even mount on here. Disk Utility could not mount it either.
    The files, Im sure, are ok as TechTool gave me a number of the total files on the drive, which is correct. But I just cannot gain access to them.
    Please help, thanks,
