Sony digital camera software?

I have a DCR-HC21 and lost/misplaced the cd that came with the camera. I'm a recent convert to the mac and am lost as to how to load my video. Sony wants me to pay 69 Bucks for a new software cd. Is there another way?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

The Sony DCR-HC21 is a MiniDV camcorder. Have you tried using Apple's iMovie which is included free with all recent Macs? Apple has great video tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html.

1.8Ghz G5 (late 2004) can not recognise my sony digital camera

My PowerMac G5(Mac OS X 10.3.9) can not recognise sony digital camera,but my friend have same model G5 with no problem,what shell I do?

Did you use the very same camera on either Mac or just the same model? When my Mac (also G5 1.8 Dual, though the earlier spring model) had problems recognizing my Sony, it was a question of setting the USB mode on the camera: E.G. my camera allow to set its USB mode to either Normal or PTP, the PTP setting caused problems at times, though its too long to tell, of which nature they were. May be woth a try

Camera Connector Kit and SONY Digital camera MP4 files

Using the Camera Connector Kit I am able to copy SONY Digital camera MP4 files. I am unable to play it on the iPad. I have tested this on 4.2 and 4.3GM of iOS.
With more and more people using iPads this type of functionality should be working.

I agree. Why not formally suggest it to Apple since Apple really does not read/use posts from this forum.

Sony digital camera

dear all
I want to know if the sony digital camera package(W230 and W220) includes battery recharger or I have to buy it alone
thanks alot

Does it use lithium ion or AA batteries? (no time to look up that model atm)
If Li-Ion - I've never seen a unit that didn't come with a charger.
If AA - Most units come with a set of nonrechargeable batteries and that's it, at most. If AA, I strongly reccommend a GOOD Ni-MH charger such as the MaHa MH-C9000 or LaCrosse BC-900 - worth the money.

Sony digital camera wouldn't work with macbook after OS 10.4.7 update

I am having problem with the my sony T-1 digital camera, after I plug it into Macbook, it will not show that the camera is being connect at the USB port.( with OS 10.4.7)
The guy at Genius bar told me that there could possibly be some problems with the software and ask me to reinstall the OS X software that came with Macbook. I did. I erased everything and reinstall the whole OS X. Right after that my Macbook was able recognise the digital camera that was plugged into the USB.
However, after I updated my software to 10.4.7. Now it would not recognise the camera at USB port again...
What should I do now, please help. Thank you.

USB and Firewire Zip and Jazz drives exist which work with Mac OS X a lot better than SCSI. I would suggest selling the old SCSI one to someone who can better use it, and get yourself more up to date drives:

Sony digital camera as web cam?

I have a [Sony Cyber Shot|http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=1000 1&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=1004881] digital camera, which uses USB2. Can this be used as a web cam? I tried using [macam|http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net>, but unfortunately it didn't recognize the camera. Is there any other way? Or do I need to buy a mac-compatible web cam?
Thanks,
Domenic

Thanks sig and Roger. According to the specs for the camera, it includes some software for the mac. Something to do with music transfer, which I haven't yet had a chance to check out. Other than that it mentions nothing else. When I hook it up to the computer, iChat doesn't recognize it. When I try using macam, which is suppose to support USB web cams, it too doesn't recognize it. So it looks like I'm probably out of luck. The iUSBCam looks interest...

HP Photosmart M627 Digital Camera Software Installation CD Compatible w/Windows 7

I switched from Windows XP to Windows 7 over a year ago, and the HP Photosmart M627 Digital Camera (Model L2420A) and the software CD originally installed was incompatible with Windows 7. Therefore, I haven't been able to upload pics from my camera to my computer to store and/or customize.
I have tried other photography software programs, however, I definitely prefer the software designed to work with my camera. Can anyone instruct on how to navigate the website (HP) to locate the same? Thanks in advance!

Sony fix camera software for z1 ,z1s,z1 compact and bring z2 camera stuff

the camera software makes the exposure and iso to its highest settings most times so it produces bright pictures and the algorithm for low light is really bad fix it sony

I do not understand why Sony does not pay more attention to the camera if it is in the foreground put her trump card as being in charge, I found the example application čameringo .... which is much more better than Sonny supplements camera has options for temperature image contrast image and then obtain a realistic view as the very sonijava camera with a bright color that you can not reduce, why Sony does not have in its application to the camera?

Canon digital camera software

I just purchased a Canon SD 850 IS digital camera. It comes with Canon's Digital Camera Solution Disc. For Macintosh, it includes ImageBrowser 5.8, PhotoStitch 3.1, and EOS Utility 1.1. The manual says not to connect the camera until the software is downloaded.
Do I need to download the software, or will Iphoto be sufficient? Is there any disadvantages to downloading the software?
Thanks.

Hi there!
You don;t need to use the Canon software to upload your images to you Mac and there is no disadvantage downloading the software.
If it were me, I would go ahead and download the Canon Software. The main reason would be the use of PhotoStich, there are no Apps you have on your Mac that can do some of the things PhotoStich is designed to do. You can read more about Photostitch here: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/panoramic-software.htm
If you do decide to install the Canon software, you will also need to decide whether iPhoto or ImageBrowser should handle the downloading and indexing of your images. You can make this choice by opening Apps > Image Capture, open preferences and pick which one should open.

Digital camera software opens on iPhone sync, incompatible, how to stop?

Every time I sync my iPhone, my digital camera's program opens up but is incompatible with my iPhone. Is there anyway I can disable this program opening when I connect my phone? I can still sync my photos through folders so I don't need an outside program... Thanks for your help.

Your computer recognizes the iphone as a digital camera.
Therefore, your photo management software (Olympus Master) opens.
Apparently you have either your computer set to open Olympus Master when a digital camera is connected, or you have Olympus Master set to open when a digital camera is connected. As I am not a windows user or an Olympus user, I don't know where the settings are located, but you should be able to find them.

Failure to install canon digital camera software

I'm unable to install the software from the disc provided and the update from the Canon site. I have run a disc repair and still unable to install. The camera downloads to another iMac and the software installed to a Dell. Also I tried installing an earlier version that works on second iMac but cannot get that to download to primary iMac (G4 10.4.8)
Any ideas about what to do next?

Hi bluebee,
It is not your iMac. I just purchased an iMac G5 Intel and I also have a Canon Digital Elph (with the Canon software installed on my eMac G4) wondering the same thing. There are some aspects of the Canon software that I prefer over iPhoto.
But before installing, I came across the following on Canon's homepage:
"Canon is conducting compatibility tests for the current versions of Canon digital imaging software with the shipping versions of Mac OS X 10.4 [Tiger]. Results will be posted soon. For now, Canon is not claiming compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4"
Hope this helps,
Steve

Problem uploading from Sony digital camera

I have iPhoto 2.0.1. I've never had problems with this before, but today this happened:
When I try to upload photos, I connect my Sony MVC CD 400 digital camera and switch it on. iPhoto opens automatically as usual, but, I get a message "No camera selected."
Any help for me?
Thanks so much,

I can't transfer movies from iphoto to imovie taken with my sony cybershot digital camera. Is there a solution?
Sony CyberShot digital camera store their clips as MPEG VX (MPEG-1) files which are not edit compatible with iMovie '08 or conversion compatible with QT/QT applications. Use a free third-party, MPEG-based converter like MPEG Streamclip or iSquint to convert the files to an iMovie "edit" compatible compression format. MPEG Streamclip can convert to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 formats and iSquint only to MPEG-4 or H.264.

Sony Digital Camera Import

How can I import digital movies from my Sony Handycam DCR-SR68?
iPhoto will not recognize them.

Greetings Dave,
How can I import digital movies from my Sony Handycam DCR-SR68?
iPhoto is an image management program. It's primary function is to import, store, and organize still images. While it does import movies from digital still cameras, it is not designed to import movie footage from a video camera (Two different types of devices. Still cameras and movie cameras). That is what iMovie is for.
Your Sony Handycam DCR-SR68 is on the supported camera list for iMovie so you should be able to import your footage into iMovie: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290
Once the footage is off the camera and in iMovie, you can then export it out of iMovie and put it back in iPhoto (although I'm unclear why you would want to store movie footage in iPhoto. Of the two programs, iMovie is the best place to keep large amounts of movie data.)
iPhoto will not recognize them.
Your camera records it's movie files in MPEG2 format. This format is not natively compatible with iPhoto as it is not usable by Quicktime (Which is what drives movie compatibility to some extent in iPhoto.) without additional software. The Quicktime manual lists the compatible formats: http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/QuickTime7UserGuide.pdf (Page 9).
iMovie has a built in convertor that will convert those MPEG2 files into a usable format when you import directly from the camera into iMovie.
Hope that information helps.

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!
