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)
PatyPaty
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.

Kodak EasyShare C875 no longer works on Apple?
Until my computer updated, my Kodak EasyShare C875 camera always worked on both iPhoto and EasyShare software.
Now with the new iPhoto version, it will recognize the camera but the thumbnails are blank. When I try to import them, I receive error messages. I have tried to use imagecapture and isync to no avail.
It is not the camera, since when I powered up my old Dell laptop, everything works great. I imported the pictures there. I then erased everything from the camera, and took a new test picture to try again on the Apple. Same story - not working!
It's quite frustrating. My friend's brand new digital Canon works fine on my Apple - so, is my camera just considered too out of date by Apple's standards?
Is there any way to go back to the older versions of iphoto? The camera worked great then!iPhoto 9.1.3
My camera still shows up in the Devices...and thumbnails load without any images. I cannot upload them.
In Image capture I get a couple of images showing in thumbnails (others blank) but then this error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
All of this is a new problem since the computer updated itself to iPhoto 9.1.3
They are regular .jpg images so there shouldn't be a big problem. -

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!
MartyHello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
Resolution
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

I have been trying to update my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 for about 30 minutes and I keep getting the same thing. It says,"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection could not be established." What do I need to do to solve this problem?
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
For error -50: See error 13 and 14:
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. -

Otherwise you have a bootleg copy and are on yur own./ -
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 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. -
Import captions for kodak easyshare into iphoto
I have thousands of photos in Kodak Easyshare on my old laptop and would like to get them into iPhoto on my new one while retaining the caption information. Is there a macro or some assistance for doing this...some code that can read the caption into from an Easyshare backup and import it into iPhoto?
I'm no programmer but I know a bit of UNIX/Linux scripting and I'm happy to say that I successfully exported my captions from EasyShare into the EXIF description field which is used in Picasa. Before you get too excited, this is messy and you need know a bit about UNIX/Linux if you want to try this, but here we go...
The captions are stored in the EasyShare.me file which should be in Library/Application Support/Kodak EasyShare. Copy this file to the desktop. Then go to Terminal, cd to Desktop, and execute this crazy command:
cat EasyShare.me | LC_CTYPE=C tr "\000" \| | sed "s/|0|/~/g" | sed "s/int4/~/g" | LC_CTYPE=C tr '~' '\n' | grep "|JPG|1|." | awk -F\| -v OFS=\| '{print $(NF-5),$NF}' | grep -v "|$" > captions.txt
In order, this command:
changes binary nulls to pipes
changes pipe-0-pipe and the phrase int4 to newline
find only lines with |JPG|1| with some characters after that string
get the 4th from the last column and the last column
get lines where the captions is not blank
saves it all to a file named captions.txt
The key here is nulls are the delimiter in the EasyShare.me file and that the caption is always in a string that goes:
filename
column that we ignore
column that we ignore
JPG
1
caption
0
So we replace 0 with newline as well as int4 which just shows up everyone and makes our lines shorter. Then we searched for lines with the JPG then 1 then something and we know the caption is the last column and the filename is five columns before the last column.
Now I strongly recommend that you manually review captions.txt. The problem with the crazy format of EasyShare.me is that we can get only get the filename without the path and without the suffix. So if you had two copies of the same filename both with captions it will show up twice in captions.txt. Even worse if you have different photos with the same name (i.e. you bought a new camera and it started over with DSCF1000 for a second time) then there is no way to tell which one is which. And the script which is below has similar problems because it updates all photos with the same filename with same caption. If you have this problem, you will need to do a lot of this manually but you can still save a bunch of time updating the photos where you have only one version.
Now we have the captions and the files to update so we need to do the update of the EXIF field. To do this, you must install Phil Harvey's ExifTool from www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool.
Then you can write a shell script to loop through captions.txt and update the description using exiftool. The following script is rudimentary and has no error checking nor logging. I also couldn't figure out the spaces so I just replaced them with ~ and then replaced back later. But it works. If you are a real programmer you will certainly want to improve it.
Good luck,
Cabe
#!/bin/ksh
for LINE in `sed "s/ /~/g" caption.txt`
do
FILENAME=`echo $LINE | sed "s/~/ /g" | cut -d\| -f1`
CAPTION=`echo $LINE | sed "s/~/ /g" | cut -d\| -f2`
find ~/Pictures -name "$FILENAME.JPG" > find.out
LINE2=`sed 2q find.out | tail -1`
for FULLPATHTILDE in `sed "s/ /~/g" find.out`
do
FULLPATH=`echo $FULLPATHTILDE | sed "s/~/ /g"`
if [ -z "$FULLPATH" ]
then
echo "$FILENAME not found"

Hello Apple!

Thanks,

Does anyone know where i can download software for my Samsung NX10 camera for my imac
Im desperate to find the Samsung Camera NX10 software disc for a MAC. I only have a copy for windows and am unable to find any downloads or any help anywhere.
Does someone know where i can get this from??You really don't need any Samsung software to use that camera with the iMac. See > Mac 101: Connect Your Camera
Just connect the camera up via it's USB cable or by putting it's card into a reader and import the photos to iPhoto or other Mac compatible Photo software.

CS3:kodak EasyShare C643 camera mov file glitches
the files are .mov files, 640wide x 480tall, 29frames per second, Data Rate: 8881 kbps, Total BitRate: 9061 kbps , AUDIO: 180 kbps, 22khz, 1 channel mono. The files play pretty decent and I can do basic transitions with very little glitches- but when I tried to make a section play in reverse it glitched real bad and the picture gets blurry and pixelated. I've read that I should set up the project as close as possible to the resolution of the footage Im using- Im not sure why premiere doesnt automatically detect the best settings and ask me if I want the project to be set to it- seems like a very basic concept- or when setting up the project and option to "analyze media file and make automatic settings"- I guess Im lazy- my bad. I've also read there is a plug in I can download- has anyone dealt with this and got these files to work and edit properly in Premiere Pro CS3?
hmmm,
I agree with you that things are kinda confusing re: video and audio editing when first learning about it....so its kinda important to do some reading and studying to get the fundamental stuff figured out. There are good resources for learning on the internet ( you can google most phrases and words to get definitions and explanations ) and in books...and also by searching these forums using the "search" text box....
I personally am still learning about a lot of this stuff and I think I spent almost 8 months - at least 8 hours / day ---just to get the basics down...
MOST of my learning came from this forum and some portion from google..and of course the HELP files from the program....which I printed out on paper and put into a notebook ( reading those pages as I did that helped a lot ).
So, bottom line...you are not going to figure this out without some studying , reading, etc.
That said, there are more easy editing programs around that might do what you want QUICKLY ( without much studying etc involved ) like "Windows Movie Maker" and so on... Just mentioning that in case you feel overwhelmed and need to get your project edited quickly...
As Bill Hunt said, CS5 has the function to create projects by just dragging your video into an icon ( create new project or something like that )...and the program automatically "sees" what the video is made up of and creates the project for you ! Very cool !
If you can't do that then basically what you want to do is match your project settings to the video specs. You can use gspot or mediainfo ( tree view ) to see what your video specs are....and then make those exact settings for new project....
as far as your questions re: pixel aspect ratio, bit rates, safe area ( frame ) and so on...you really need to read the help files and maybe google some of that...as its impossible for someone to go over all that in a thread like this and do it justice...
maybe someone else here will have some links to reference materials and so on..
Good luck ! -

Everyone reading your posts here is just another MacBook Pro user. We're all volunteers, not Apple employees. No one here can speak for Apple.
In my personal opinion, buying Apple products in a country where Apple has no stores and no corporate presence is a risk that the buyer takes knowingly. I don't think it's a wise risk, and I don't recommend that anyone take it. A small percentage of the products sold anywhere are going to have problems, and it makes more sense to buy an inferior product that can at least be serviced locally than to buy a superior product that may have to be sent thousands of miles for repair if anything ever goes wrong with it.
