Transferring images from Sony DSC-F828

Hi
I'd like to buy the iPod 5G. I'm just not sure yet about 1 thing. I'd like to use it to transfer my images from my Sony DSC-F828 when I'm on the move. I've seen that compactibility list, quit short list I would say. There are a few Sony cameras on it, but not mines of course. I saw that some people have a camera that isn't on the list and they say it works perfectly. Can somebody tell me if my camera would work on it.
I'm also planning to buy a canon EOS 400D or even higher. Does anyone have any experience with it and the iPod.
If there is no compatibility, is there another way to transfer images to it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Keith is absolutely right. There have been too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete deletions. It's not the camera but the situation, low battery, connection or power interruption, etc. that might trigger such a disaster. IMO it's just not worth the risk.
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's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac in Photoshop CS5 and have camera raw 6.7.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

Bruce,
When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com
I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com
I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
Good luck,
Rob

Not deleting images from Sony DSC-W120

iPhoto imports pictures from the camera just fine, but does not delete them from the memory stick, even when told to delete originals?
Ideas? Camera side perhaps?
It works fine with an older Sony Cybershot dsc-s600.

Open Camera Raw Images From Sony DSC-RX100II in PE12

No joy. Please help.

What version of the Camera Raw plug-in do you have in PSE12? Use Help / About Plug-in / Camera Raw in the PSE Editor to find out.
According to this list of supported cameras, you need at least ACR 8.2 for the RX100 II:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Using Help / Updates in the PSE Editor is the usual way to update to the latest ACR; however, the most current ACR is only compatible with newer OSes, so another question is what operating system do you have on your computer that is running PSE12?

Iphoto 7.1.1 slow to import from sony dsc-w80

Anyone experience similar issues when importing pictures from sony dsc-w80 into iphoto? Sometimes it just spins and spins and spins. Is there any way to fix this?

Yes, same problem here. I have a Sony DSC T50 that worked fine on IPhoto 6 and Tiger. Upgraded to Leopard and iPhoto 7.1.1 and it's unusable with a Sony DSC Camera and my PPC Mac. Takes 30 seconds per image to import. Takes forever to read the 900 images on the camera.
Since the DSC worked fine with earlier versions of Apple OS and software, I have to blame Apple and not Sony for this problem.
If you are having the problem too, please use the Send Feedback menu in iPhoto to report the bug to Apple.

Download and play .MTS (HD pix from Sony DSC-TX10)in my i-Mac

Hi everyone!
I got stuck with this one.
Is there any apple app I can use to dowload HD (.MTS files from Sony DSC-TX10) so as to be able to visualize them on my i-Mac?
Many thanks!
Daniel

ddominguezp, if you want to also edit the .mts videos you may need to 're-wrap' the raw .mts files to get back all the folders and other files that would have been on the memory card when you first recorded your HD video clips. A lot people attempt to pull the video clips out of all the folders surround them and that causes problems for iMovie. iMovie by itself will not recognize the .mts files but needs all the pieces that would have originally come with the .mts file to work. I'm providing a link below to a discussion started by Karsten Schlüter that covers all the bases trying to get a .mts file back into iMovie. What you are trying to do in the end is 're-wrap' the .mts files with all the folders and files that are now missing.

Download images from Sony NEx 7 to lightroom

Anyone familiar with downloading raw images from Sony NEX 7 to lightroom.

This is the list of currently supported cameras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5371?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Nex5-R is not on the List and so that Raw format is not supported at this time.
Note: The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:

The monitors of on location CS3 not showing image from Sony FX7

Dear Sir, Many many thanks for your very detailed answer everything works just fine. I'm not sure wether I should reply to your answer elsewhere please advise me if this is the case.

Subject: the monitors of on location CS3 not showing image from Sony FX7
Breezley,
OnLocation CS3 used Direct Draw to create the video window. In Vista, you may have noticed that OnLocation CS3 would disable 'Aero' themed desktops as they did not support Direct Draw. Windows 7 does not have this functionality, so you must disable the Aero theme manually to see the video in OnLocation CS3.
To do this, right click on open desktop and choose Personalize.
This will display available Themes.
Scroll down to the 'Basic and High Contrast Themes'.
Choose any one of the basic or high contrast themes.
Restart OnLocation CS3.
This should bring your video back into view.

Importing into iPhoto 6 from Sony DSC-T1 crashes the application

Until I updated to iLife 06 I never had trouble importing photos into iPhoto from my Sony DSC-T1. Now, within seconds of clicking on the "import now" button the program crashes, and I've sent the obligitory bug report to Apple, but now the card is full and I don't know where to turn...
12 PB Mac OS X (10.4.6) iLife 06

Strange. Sorry to hear about your problems. Rather than importing via iPhoto directly from the camera, why don't you try getting the images off the card in the Finder? When you plug in the camera an icon for the memory card will appear on your desktop. Quit iPhoto if it automatically comes up. Create a folder on your desktop. Double click the memory card icon, and browse its contents until you find the image files. Drag them to the folder you created, and wait for the copy to complete. Then launch iPhoto and drag the folder of images into iPhoto.
Hopefully Apple support will be able to help you with that camera import into iPhoto. Is it on the iPhoto supported list?

Downloading stalls from Sony DSC-S90

I am having trouble downloading from my Sony DSC-S90 digital camera to iphoto. The camera has two short video clips (with audio) and about 30 photos on the memory stick.
When I connect to iphoto, it'll download the first 5 photos, then it hits the video clip and stalls. One time it skipped over the two videos and loaded the photo right after the videos, and then stalled, leaving another 24 photos stranded on my camera.
My wife has another model of Sony digital camera, which also takes short video (without sound); with that camera, we can load everything onto iphoto, even the video clips.
I tried loading onto imovie with this camera, but it has a USB rather than firewire connection, and it won't work.("camera not connected" shows on screen.)
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks-Remulak
G3 ibook Mac OS X (10.3) using external memory

Go into Image Capture, Preferences. Change the camera settings from iPhoto to Image Capture. Now try to download all the images to a convenient folder. If that works, you can import the images into iPhoto manually. Go back to Image Capture and change the camera settings back to iPhoto.
This sounds a bit like a memory card that needs formatting. Once the images are safely on your Mac, find the format command in the Sony menu.

Transferring images from a PC to a Mac

Fist of all, please excuse me if my questions appear elementary but I am a recent convert to Apple and to digital photography. I have a PC desk top computer and a just-purchased MacBook Pro. At the moment all of my images are on the internal hard drive of my PC and the drive is filling up fast. I need a short term solution to my diminishing internal disk space that will tide me over until I learn enough about workflow to invest in a longer term solution. I want to view and edit my images on the MacBook Pro. I realize it's not the best way to edt but it will have to do until I replace my PC with a desktop Mac which I intend to do. But in the meantime I don't want to clog up my Mac unnecessarily with thousands of images. So, my questions: 1)) What is the best way of transferring my images from the PC to my Mac? 2) If I transfer my images to an external hard drive from my PC will my Mac have any problems reading them? 3) Can an external hard drive be formatted to read both PC and Mac files? 4) Rather than get an external drive for my PC (since I don't intend to edit on the PC, am I better to get one for my Mac? 5) Can someone suggest a good on-line tutorial on this topic so that I don't need to trouble all you good folk. Any advice would be appreciated.

There are many solutions: Your first stop is www.macwindows.com, and read everything in site re: formatting ext HD's to run on both,your best solution. There are apps that allow macs to read/write/ drag & drop to /from Fat 32 & NTSF partitions, and visa versa, read about networking and remote controlling PC's and Macs, as well. A simpler but time consuming solution is internet backup/ syncing via Sugar Sync or Mobile me.
*maybe you can help me: I'm about to get my first PC to capture digital dental xrays. I'm told that the imaging sensors drivers only work on a PC/xp or Vista, 32 or 64, though they are written in 32. I want to network (automatic syncing of dental image files and practice mgmt files from the imaging app & mgmt app) the PC to an iMac, either booted in Vista 64 or running it in emulation. The PC Imaging app (Apteryx) and the PC Mgmt app (Dentimax) works either way on the iMac. How do I:(1) set up a wireless network, (2) that onlt auto syncs the 2 dental apps files, (3) on a Vista booted iMac, or ($) on a Vista emulated by Fusion, iMac????? Thanks! I assume a V booted imac is a PC to PC setup, but I have no idea how to do this? I also find it hard to believe that the sensor drivers wont work on a V booted iMac!

My IT department transferred images from my Blackberry to my Iphone, they are in "Photo library". there is 1500 images, many are duplicates and when I hit edit, delete is not an option. how do i delete the duplicate images?

my IT department set up my Iphone and transferred the images from my Blackberry. I have over 1500 images showing in "Photo Library" and lots of them are duplicates (same image). When I hit edit it will not allow me to delete them, delete is not an option shown. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
In Photo library, when I hit edit the only avail options are share or add to. Please help, i dont want 1500 images on the phone.

Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
You delete these pica the same way you put them there. The sync process. Deselect them in itunes and sync.

Hi, Marek,
