  • Sony cybershot videos automatically import into iPhoto on MacBook Pro but not iPhoto on Mac Mini

    This is so weird.  I have iPhoto '11 vers 9.4.2 OS 10.7.5 running on both my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini.  I can hook up the Sony cybershot and import all photos and videos into the MacBook Pro's iPhoto without any problems or special actions.  But the MacMini will only import the photos and never recognizes the videos even being there. 
    As a work around I can then drag the videos from the MacBook Pro's iPhoto window to the desktop, then turn on file sharing and pull them into iPhoto on the Mac Mini w/out any problems. 
    Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's iPhoto: 1920x1080 H.264 29.97 fps
    Once those videos are dragged to the desktop it's a .mov and opens in Quicktime
    Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's Desktop before file sharing to the Mac Mini:  Format: AVCHD 1080i60, 1440 x 1080 (1920 x 1080), Millions  16 bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR) 48kHz  29.97 fps  Data Rate: 83.1 Mbit/s
    What's going on here?  Is there some special codecs or something on the MacBook Pro iPhoto that the Mac Mini's Iphoto doens't have?  How can I fix this so my wife can import the videos straight to iPhoto on the Mac Mini like I'm able to do on my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    Yes and no. It is my understanding that the most direct way will require attaching the script to each of the subfolders. However, the attaching of the script can be done using AppleScript. Those subfolders that are already in existence can have the scripts attached using the following script:
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property WatchedFolderName : "Camera Phone Images"
    property WatchedFolderPath : ((path to desktop) as text) & WatchedFolderName
    property ScriptName : "Subfolder detection.scpt"
    property ScriptPath : ((path to Folder Action scripts) as text) & ScriptName
    tell application "Finder"
    set target of window 1 to folder WatchedFolderPath
    set theSubFolders to folders of entire contents of target of window 1
    repeat with i from 1 to count of theSubFolders
    tell application "System Events"
    attach action to (item i of theSubFolders as string) using ScriptPath
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell</pre>
    and subsequently added folders can be caught by adding a test for folders being added in the folder action script. I am working out the details on that one now.

  • Sony Cybershot No Longer Recognized in iPhoto

    Just did a recent software update that my iBook let me know about this past Saturday. One of those updates I installed involved something to do with importing pictures from cameras. Now, my Sony camera is no longer recognized in iPhoto and I never had any complication with this before the update. Is there a way to reverse the installation of the upgrade or is there a soltuion?

    This sounds more like a software problem than an iBook problem. You might try posting your question in the iPhoto forum where all the smart photographers hang out. They probably have experience in dealing with this sort of issue.
    Good luck!

  • PS CS6 has no sound with AVCHD videos from Sony Cybershot

    System Specs:
    PS CS6, fully updated
    win7/64 fully patched
    16gb ram, 11+ GB free
    ssd scratch drive, 40gb free
    camera:  Sony cybershot dsc-hx30v
    files: *.MTS
    CPU: intel quad core sandy bridge 2600k, 3.4Ghz
    GPU: AMD 6950 2gb
    The videos play fine in VLC 2.0.1, windows media player, GSpot 2.70a (in thumbnail window). An ancient Nero showtime even sort of plays the video (choppy and partially mangled), but the audio is fine. VLC and WMP play smoothly at full screen, 2560x1600.
    In PS, there is no audio. Both microphone icons have sound waves emanating and I have tried all 4 combinations of mute and play.
    I can edit and save them to h.264, high quality, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, progressive *.mp4 file. The video plays on the other players, but again there is no sound.
    GSpot shows LAV splitter -> ffdshow addio decoder -> ac3filter -> default directSound device (see details below)
    When playing in PS, the video is choppy. It will play for ~1/2 second and then stutter.
    Searching for a suitable group with key words (photoshop cs6 avchd video no sound)
    yields 505 groups. Looks like any group to have ever had cs6 in a thread. Hmmm.
    It can't be a codec problem if every other video product I have plays the files. It is certainly not a hardware limitation. It looks like a PS bug.

    Meredith,
    It is perfectly legal to decode Dolby to simple stereo with the licensed codec included with Windows 7. There may be some restriction on writing AC-3 content in 5.1 format. If Adobe wanted to, it could read from the licensed, installed codec and write the edited files in any of the audio formats it does support.
    I do not believe it is a can't; it's a won't.
    "... only a few digital cameras on the market with that encoder."
    There are dozens of digital cameras and camcorders from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic and Sony which use AVCHD and many more are on the way.
    Almost every medium and top-tier video editor also supports AVCHD/MTS format including Avid, Premier, Final Cut, AVS, Blender, VideoStudio, PowerDirector, Windoz Movie Maker, Nero, Pinnacle, Vegas and Openshot.
    Adobe advertises on http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/features.html:
    Intuitive video creation
    Bring Photoshop editing power to your video footage. Easily enhance any clip using the full range of familiar Photoshop tools, and then create movies using an intuitive set of video tools.
    Adobe needs to add a bit of fine print here:
    Easily enhance any clip [1]
    [1] Disclaimer:  Adobe has made a strategic decision to withhold Photoshop support for Dolby sound common on many newer and higher fidelity cameras in order to not cannibalize sales of Premier Pro.  If you have or plan to buy a video device from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic or Sony, you may not be able to edit or even view movies with audio unless you also install Premier Pro ($799) or use a third party tool to perform audio brain surgery on your movie to rip your audio and hack it back into Photoshop in a non-Dolby form. 
    I feel that I was mislead by Adobe. And Adobe is still advertising this "Any Clip" claim even though the Dolby "defect" was reported in March in Beta testing. Please don't advertise what you don't support.
    Disappointed,

  • My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere, and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating to have to locate and then drag pics to iPhoto. Would I reset in the camera menu or in System Preferences?

    My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating and I can't find where to change the settings - camera menu or Mac Preferences. Any advice?? Thanks

    No, not in iPhoto, but instead in Finder (only). I've tried going into the camera menu and making sure it's set on Mass Storage, but no difference. Then I tried Auto - but also no difference.

  • I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto.  Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

    Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto.  Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

    Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo
      for example

  • IPhoto not getting photos from Sony Cybershot

    I have a Sony Cybershot, maybe about a year or two old, and I am now having trouble downloading photos from it onto my Macbook.
    When I used to connect the Cybershot via the USB, it would bring up a volume called NONAME, which would also show up in iPhoto. I could then download my photos from there. I tried several times to rename NONAME with a name that would indicate it was the camera, but was never able to.
    A few months ago, TWO volumes called NONAME started showing up when I connected the camera. But they would both show up in iPhoto and I would just figure out which one was actually the camera, and get the pictures off it.
    Now when I connect the Cybershot via the USB port, I get three volumes showing up on my desktop:
    1. PMHOME, which says it is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT16), Capacity 22 MB, Available 21.6 MB, Used 315,392 bytes
    2. NO NAME, formatted MS-DOS (FAT12), Capacity 51.1 MB, Available 51 MB, Used 131,072 bytes
    3. NO NAME, formatted MS-DOS (FAT32), Capacity 31.68 GB, Available 31.48 GB, Used 199,426,048 bytes
    The last one must be the camera, but I don't understand what the other two are.
    Once the camera is connected, the Cybershot gives me the screen saying it is connecting via USB, and then a screen saying 'Power feed with the USB disconnected.' If I click Okay on that screen, the Cybershot will show me the pictures on my camera, and suddenly all three volumes will disappear from my desktop, and I get a message saying "Disk not ejected properly" on my desktop. During this time iPhoto will not have opened automatically; if I open it manually, it does not detect the presence of the camera. Nothing shows up under "devices."
    Any advice on what on earth is going on and how to fix it? Thank you.

    I guess I am not explaining myself well - although it seems pretty simple and straight forward
    Your only choice is to reformat the card - this erases the contents so if you want the photos that are on it you have to get them off first - the options to do that are
    Use image capture (in your aplications folder)
    or use a card reader
    or use the finder ( most Sony cameras mount to the finder an you can just drag photos off of them)
    Or another computer
    The other computer does not have to be at your house or even a Mac - it can be a PC or at an Apple store or at a friends house - but if you want the photos then you must get them somehow
    and then you must reformat the card

  • IPhoto 5 does NOT RECOGNIZE new SONY Cybershot...

    Hi.
    Purchased new Sony Cybershot recently... using same memory card from previous Sony.
    My issue: iPhoto 5 does not recongnize the new camera.
    My usual protocol for importing photos to iPhoto --> file --> add to library -->select camera icon from browser --> highlight photos from disc folder
    My camera is recognized by the Mac and I see it on the desktop. I'm able to copy files from the camera folder into iPhoto using cut and paste, but it's a bit slower and sort of a pain in the ***.
    Is there a setting in iPhoto which will allow the application to see my camera and show it as an option during "add to library"?
    Thanks.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • IPhoto does not recognize my Sony Cybershot

    I am unable to import photos from my camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V). When I plug in the camera (using the included USB cord) the camera icon doesn't appear in the left colum as it should. Is it because I don't have the driver? The camera is quite popular so I expected the Apple OS to have the driver. I will appreciate any help that will be given.

    Can you access the camera from Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?
    Regards

  • Aperture and Sony DSC-T100 videos

    Hi, I just installed Aperture 3 and imported my iPhoto library but I can't open any video I took with my Sony DSC-T100 camera. The error is "unsupported video format". Do someone know how to fix this problem?

    Have you tried different levels of compression with Adobe DNG converter?
    The footnote on the Raw Support page  http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html says:
    Aperture works with most DNG files generated from cameras that support this format and with DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.
    If DNG converter does not work, use the software that a came with your camera. The manufacturer's software will give you the best possible raw development any, since they do know the camera best.
    It is hard to predict, when the RAW support for this camera will released, you could try to shoot RAW&JPEG while you are waiting and import the files with the JPEG as original. This can be changed to RAW as original, when the RAW support is available.

  • Uploading sony cybershot DSC-T7 movie clips into iMovie

    I can import the movie clips from my Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 into iPhoto, and I can play the movies on my Mac. I can move still photos from that camera successfully into iMovie. That's the good news.
    But every time I try to move a movie clip from my Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 into the area to create a new project, I get the RED flag.
    I even went to an Apple store where they had a session on iMovie to sort it out. The Apple person guessed my inablity to import movie clips from the Sony camera was because my Sony doesn't have the right movie format. Apparently the only kinds of files that iMovie works with are MPEG-4, DV, or .mov files.
    What movie format does the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7? If I can successfully hook up the camera via USB port, and can play the movie clips on my Mac, why can't I import them into iMovie?
    My current backup measure is to take pictures while my movie clips are running, using the Apple-Shift-3 keys to create stills. But, hey, I want to work with the video stream!
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    What movie format does the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7?
    MPEG VX. If I remember correctly, this is a full-frame (VGA) of MPEG-1 with up to 30 fps in fine setting. Muxed formats (like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOD, TOD, MOD, FLASH, etc.) are not editable at the frame level and must be converted to a compression format that contain synchronized instances (i.e., frames) of audio and video data.
    If I can successfully hook up the camera via USB port, and can play the movie clips on my Mac, why can't I import them into iMovie?
    There are basically three levels of QT support for video files:
    1) PLAYBACK ONLY -- these files can be played back by QT applications but cannot be converted or edited.
    2) CONVERSION COMPATIBLE -- These files with play in QT applications and can be converted to "Fully" compatible QT compression formats but cannot be edited at the frame level.
    3) FULLY COMPATIBLE -- these files can be played, converted, and edited by QT applications.
    Your video files are "Playback Only." If converted by a QT Application (like iMovie '06 or iTunes), they will lose their audio. They can, however, be converted to iMovie '08 import/edit compatible files by MPEG-based, third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation ware), Visual Hub (pay ware), etc.

  • Sony digital camera not working with iphoto

    My Sony Cybershot DSC-P100 used to work perfectly with iphoto (version 4.0.3) until my husband plugged it into a PC and downloaded photos. Now iphoto will not import my photos saying they are "invalid format." The cybershot icon appears on the Desktop, but when I try to import it gets "stuck" (beachball and I "force quit") or gives the "invalid" warning. I plan to upgrade my system next year, but need to load photos now. I have 2700 photos on iphoto. I've read that I need to create a "backup" file, but am unsure how to do that either. Photos are family memories, personal use, and (obviously) not professional.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Cluless,
    welcome to the discussion....
    you can try to do a manual upload/transfer...
    You have to quit iPhoto before doing this.
    1- create an empty folder on the desktop.
    2-in the cybershot icon on the desktop, penetrate to the proper level where your pics are.
    3-Select all pics (with .jpg extensions) from the cybershot folder and drag into the empty folder onto desktop.
    Once all items have been copied from the cybershot
    4- disconect the camera, and launch iPhoto, then drag the empty folder onto iPhoto window and they should all import into the iP Library.
    side note: name the folder (say July 10th) prior to dragging over iPhoto.
    It can be done 2 ways. :
    1- if you drag over the pictures area, the pics will be imported to iP, and the Film roll name will become July 10th.
    OR
    2-you could drag the Folder- July 10th- over the album section at left of iPhoto window. This way the pic will be imported, as well as an album will be created named july 10th, and same for the film roll will also be July 10th.
    Step #2 accomplishes more in one step.
    Backup file
    creating a backup file is as easy as copying the entire iP library onto another HD. Not sure what kind of backup system you have. But if you can afford it, and like you said its family memories, get an external HD for $60 or so and it is easier than having to backup to CD or DVD, and having to toss them away when creating a newer backup.... if you need help with this one write back!
    P.s. Do not venture inside the iPlibrary and move ANYTHING out of there....... otherwise you will corrupt you library...and iPhoto will not be able to open it anymore!

  • No audio with Sony cybershot mpeg imports

    Can anybody help? When I import my sony cybershot digital camera mpegs into any video application (ie. imovie, final cut, final cut express) I get no audio. The video clips DO play in quicktime with audio. They also replay properly with web applications. I thought my camera may be corrupting files somehow , but my girlfriends sony videos behave the same as mine. There is no audio track imported with the video clips into Final Cut!

    I believe this might be a proprietary thing that allows Quicktime Pro to open and play the clips, but will not edit it or export it with the audio. In QT Pro, you don't see the edit arrows and exporting it into a DV format does not export the audio with the video. So, it begs the question. Are Sony and QuickTime in cahoots about this, or what? Does iMovie 08 import it properly? I only have iMovie 06 HD. I'm surprised that the Cybershot people I've read in the different forums and the one I'm dealing with do not have an app that will edit this stuff! What are we missing here QuickTime and Sony people. Are Cybershot being clipped of their movie clips?

  • My iBook is not reconizing my sony cybershot camera

    when i connect my new sony cybershot camera, it does not appear on my desktop or in iphoto or image capture. my older model fuji camera works just fine. i am at a complete loss. any suggestions at this point would be very helpful. thanks.

    Hey jmfordham and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    when i connect my new sony cybershot camera, it does not appear on my desktop or in iphoto or image capture. my older model fuji camera works just fine.
    I have to say I was never a fan of the software for any of the manufacturers software for image capture from camera to computer.
    I have much preferred to use a USB or FireWire card reader for the different chips. Then capture to iPhoto or Bridge/Photoshop.
