Recently unable to download photos from Canon G6 - was fine 4 weeks ago

I used to be able to plug my camera into the USB port and iPhoto would automatically start and begin previewing my photos. Now nothing happens and no matter what I do I can't get my photos to show up at all. It's simply not finding the camera.
I have tried the following:
All manner of plugging, unplugging, restarting, etc.
Tried using a card reader, that's not recognized either
Tried powering down completely and removing battery for several minutes
Updated all software from both Apple and Canon
Wrote to Canon and they have not yet been able to resolve
Since everything was working fine until recently, it must have something to do with a software update? The USB ports are working as a power source.
I am going nuts. I HAVE to be able to download photos for my business! HELP!

Having the same problem, but on my Canon XTi. The computer will only let me DL about 13 out of 100 photos. If I delete some off the camera, then it lets me DL some more. Unlike in your situation the computer does recognize the camera (some times).
I've tried different cables, different cards, and two different macbooks with the same results. Same thing when using Aperture and Image Capture. I was thinking there must be something wrong with the camera body, but I'm starting to wonder if it's an update problem as well. Thing is, my macbook was updated with new updates 2 days ago, and the other macbook has yet to be updated with the same results.

I am unable to download photos from iPhone 4, SD card and SLR camera to iPad 2 using apple accessories. It worked once and then never again. Any ideas ?

I am unable to download photos from my iphone4 , SD card , SLR camera to my ipad2 using apple accessories , please help , it has worked once and then never again.

Plumchunks-
The only accessory I know of that can be used to transfer photos from a camera or SD card to the iPad, is the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The kit consists of two adapters. One has an SD card socket. The other has a USB connector to connect directly to the camera.
I do not think you can transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad unless you first transfer them to a computer. If you then transfer the photos to an SD card, they must have eight character names plus suffix and be stored in a DCIM folder, just as if they came from a camera.
One thing you can try is to reboot the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Rebootting will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Unable to download photos from Panasonic DMC-ZS19 to IPad

I have a first generation IPad and I am unable to download photos from my Panasonic DMC-ZS19. I have tried the USB and the card reader but the IPad does not recognize either. It was successful using the USB with my desktop but I am going on a trip and want to use the IPad to download to. I am using the original Photo app. Do I need to upgrade to another app? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Have you tried a different card or card reader or USB port? Or is the camera directly connected with a cable?
Testing with a different card would check if there is an unreadable file on the card (video image) or if there is a general problem with reading files from that camera.

Downloading photos from Canon camera to computer

I'll try to be brief. I was using iPhoto 1 or 2 and downloading photos without problems from an older Canon SD 400. Unfortunately I can't remember doing anything special but one day, the computer, or rather, iPhoto, did not see the camera. I could see the camera in the System Profiler. OK, so I wanted a new camera. I bought a new Canon SD1100 IS. It would not transfer photos. BTW, I was able to transfer photos from everyone else's non-Canon cameras. OK, I decided to bite the bullet and bought and installed iLife '08. Besides, I needed a newer version of iPhoto to transfer photos to my iTouch. Still no go. After much ado, I even got a new camera from Canon. Now I had also installed at some point, software for my HP camera (don't get one)but before trying the new camera, I uninstalled that software. Several restarts later and I finally had to get a little multi-card reader which shows up in iPhoto as MY CANON CAMERA! Any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure that the camera is set to the correct USB protocol. There are two: Mass Storage and PTP. I’m not sure which is the correct one, but whatever yours is set to, try the other one Consult the manual on your camera for details.
But you are better using your Card Reader for importing. There is no risk of an incomplete import(due to the camera shutting down, for example) and it also saves wear and tear on the Camera ports.

Unable to download photos from camera to iphoto

All of a sudden when I try to import photos from my camera to iPhoto it's as if iPhoto is not recognizing the camera. iPhoto doen't open like it usually does when I plug camera in. Any thought?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Your Signature says you are running 10.4.8. Yet you posted to 10.6 forum. Did you recently upgrade? If not, have you installed anything new since you were last able to read the camera? And are the camera's batteries fully charged, and the camera actually showing it is powered on?

I am unable to download photos from a photograper's website. Why?

Why can't I download pictures from a photgrapher's website on my IPad 3?

Do you mean the ability to press and hold a photo and then save it to the Photos app ? If so, then it's possibly because the photographer has disabled that ability so as to stop people copying his/her photos.

Recently when I download photos from my Canon G11 I get one or two "unsupported image format" This seems to happen when I have taken a photo of the same subject but have zoomed in on it. Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent this?

What can I do to prevent this from happening? I would like to have all my images downloaded from camera to computer and then make my choice as to which one to keep and which to deleted.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

How to: download photos from canon 400d

hi,
my parents has lend me their canon 400d and i would like to download the photos to my macbook.
I don't have the original canon software disc and do not have access to it as it is with my parents abroad.
i thought it would automatically pick up the camera / photos when connecting the camera to the mac? tried to see if iphoto would be able to find them but that doesn't seem to work, neither can i see it appearing when looking in the finder.
can you advise?
only recently got my mac so might be something simple that i'm yet to try... (i hope)
thanks,
oppers

Hi oppers: Try this: Open iPhoto, from the iPhoto drop-down menu select Preferences > General. At the bottom of this window, "Connecting camera opens" select iPhoto.
Hope this helps

Can't download photos from canon camera

Since I downloaded Yosemite, I can't get my Mac desktop to recognize my Canon PowerShot SD1100IS Digital ELPH camera. I've gone into Preview, Finder and Image Capture and it's not there. How do I get my photos onto my computer from the camera?

Same here... I have a Powershot Elph340HS and a SD960IS, I've updated Canon ImageBrowser and CamaraWindow and it just says "no camera detected"... so I used a different usb to make sure it wasn't that, I've tried everything, Preview, iPhoto, even iMovie... all of which worked before for importing from my cameras...
OS X Yosemite (10.10) I'm on a Macbook Pro
please fix this Apple!!!!

Downloaded photos from Canon 20D to iPod

I was not able to get my 20D to downloard to my new iPod. It says unrecognized device. The iPod specs state that Apples Photo Reader Adapter ($35) works with the 20D but I couldn't get it to work. I tried another adapter at the store and got the same result on my iPod and another one at the store. I don't see any settings to change on my 20D so not sure what's wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

I have th canon 20d and ipod 60G video. Make sure your camera is set to PTP you'll find it in the settings menu on your camera then Soft reset your iPod(hold down menu and the center button till it resets), then plug everything back in and it should work. . Make sure you also have the upgraded firm ware for the 20d. it should be 2.0.3 and you could get it from the canon website.

Unable to import photos from Canon 7d

Using Lightroom 4 [814577]
on a Mac (with 16Gb memory)
Mac OS Lion 10.7
When I plug in my Canon 7d and click import, I see a preview of my photos. However, when I then try to import, I get the message "no photos were found to import"
I have the latest firmware on my 7d.
I have tried using a different CF card.
None of this has helped.
I can import via the EOS utlity; but I should be able to do this directly from my camera.
Any help/suggestion greatly appreciated.
Bob

Use a card reader.

Unable to download photos from google plus

I can't seem to download some videos contained in google plus onto my apple ipad2. Is this a compatibility issue or what?

There is still no Google Plus App for iPad, so until one is available, the chances are the video you are attempting to view is Flash based and will not play on iPad via Safari. You could try one of the web browsers, which to some degree, do support flash. Try iSwifter or Photon (the full versions, which you would likely need, are not free) and you may have more success.

I am having problems downloading photos from my camera to iphoto 11

I am unable to download photos from my sony cybershot DSC-W170 and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 to iphoto11. The problem started when the colour wheel started spinning when iphoto opened after I switched on either camera and the programme became unresponsive. Subsequently when ever I then tried to open iphoto the colour wheel span and iphoto didn't respond, force quit the only way out.
After this happened the first time I rebuilt my library from timemachine (not the quickest process with around 9000 images), iphoto then opened okay and I could view libraries again.
I then downloaded the images directly from the camera sd card to my desktop and tried to drag the images into iphoto one at a time this worked but as soon as i tried to import the whole roll, the colour wheel popped up and iphoto became unresponseive again but I could view my libraries at least.
I then read about deleting the library cache which I did and restarted my mac (imac core duo 2ghz, running 10.6.8) I then tried to download from the sony cybershot again and I here am back at the start, with the colour wheel and iphoto not responding, I have just force quit and I can't open iphoto. Help!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

Unable to download photos

I was downloading some pictures yesterday when all of a sudden it stopped working. Is there also a limit on downloading photos?

I have had this problem today too. I've been unable to download photos from Revel on either my Windows 7 using Chrome (also tried IE) and also my iMac using Safari. Once again, I can't accomplish my work because of Revel and I echo the sentiments about Photoshop.com--a much more stable and useful program and one I didn't fear would waylay my entire afternoon of work plans.
