Trying to tether a Canon 60D to two copies of Lightroom 4 on two different computers

I have a Canon 60D tethered to an Imac with Lightroom 4 and also have Lightroom 4 on a Powermac. When I try to veiw imported images lightroom says it can't do a automatic import over the network. The images are captured every 3 minutes, and I need them to be viewed on both computers and can't find the answer.

You will need to have a third-party software like Hazel transfer from the Tethered Mac to local folder the non-Tethered Mac. Then the non-Tethered Mac will need to do an import by watched folder.

How to activate a purchased standalone Lightroom 6 when I already have two copies of Lightroom CC activated.

I have two copies of Lightroom CC installed and working OK. I've purchased a separate, standalone copy of Lightroom 6 for a laptop. When I attempt to install it, the installer says I can't because I already have two copies installed via CC. Is the solution to install the standalone copy with my CC login turned off, and use a different username, etc.?

You need to install the standalone one using a different Adobe ID. Create a new one for it.

Why would two copies of Lightroom 5 create DNG files with different sizes from the same RAW file? (size is dramatically different, on the order of doubled in size.)

I have a copy of LIghtroom 5 on my office computer and a personal copy on my home computer. I convert my RAW files to DNG with Lightroom when I import them. Files I shoot for work also get imported on my home workstation. I noticed today that the resulting DNG files for the same RAW image are widely different in size. The ones at home are roughly twice as big as the ones from the office.
To the best of my knowledge, things are set up the same on both workstations. Any idea what setting might be causing this variation?

I don't think it's possible to apply lossy compression when importing directly into Lightroom. I know you can do it with the DNG converter and on export but I don't think this is the case here.
In which case we need to determine which set-up producing is the "correctly" sized files. What's the camera and what are the respective file sizes from work and home?

Can you have two copies of a song in different formats?

I have my iMac connected to my stereo, and also use a 30GB iPod with it. When I play my music directly from iTunes into the stereo, I'd likve to use a .wav file format as it came from the CD. However, these are much larger than I'd want to have on my iPod, so I'd like to have another copy of the song in AAC format. That way, I can listen to the .wav version for its resolution on my system, but have the convenience of the storage that the AAC offers.
However, I cannot seem to figure out how to use iTunes to do this. Let's say I import the CD the first time using .wav. If I try to put it in the second time to import as AAC, it asks if I want to Replace Existing, or Don't Replace. I cannot import it again, using the different import setting.
Anyone have any ideas how I can do this?
Thanks,

Okay, so I was a bit dense about this. I just figured out that if I use the "Don't Replace" option, it will import it a second time, using whatever settings I have. It would be nice if iTunes could automatically create a second copy!

Split of metadata across two copies of the photographs

My metadata for the catalouge has become split across two copies of the photographs on different hard drives. Is there a way of recombing the two so that lightroom only uses the photographs at one location? It is difficult to work out which copy of the photo on which disk has the metadata asigned to it. Thanks for any help.

You can copy the metadata from one photo to another, select one, the ctrl-click on the other, and use Sync Metadata button.
It is difficult to work out which copy of the photo on which disk has the metadata asigned to it.
I don't understand, LR shows the metadata on the right in the Metadata Panel.

Normally, I would advise not to have two copies of the same photo imported into Lightroom

Two Copies of iMovie?

I want to run two versions of iMovie.
I created a partition (separate drive) with some private files. I would like to have a separate copy of iMove, so that only the movies I edit on that drive can be seen when I open up that copy of iMove.
Currently, when I open iMovie, it shows all projects, even though I might not want those to pop up when I open the software.
Is it possible to have two copies of iMove that hold different projects?

Works to a bit - Using two User Accounts
But some material will be shared as
• movies in iPhoto Movie Library = iPhoto-videor
most probably same goes for
• iTune - and -
• GarageBand
(still need to be tested)
I prefer the moving external hard disk storage - as it keeps privacy a bit at least.
THIS external HD MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - Nothing else will do for Video.

I have a canon 60D and I'm trying to view images on the Ipad using the sd reader but no luck. Any help or ideas?

I have a Canon 60D and I am unable to view or transfer photos to the Ipad using the SD Card reader. I have been able to view images with a Canon T3i. Are there certain settings I need to set on the 60d or should it work automatically? anythoughts or ideas? thanks

Are the photo's you're trying to view/download in Raw? I've had difficulty downloading Raw files, but have had no issues downloading JPEG files. Also, check a setting in your Canon, called communication. From what I've read (I'm a Nikon D5100 guy myself), communication needs to be set to PTP, not normal. I'm not sure how that will help if the pictures are already encoded?
Well scratch what I've written. I just googled the 60D and supposedly, JPEG and Raw are supposed to transfer through the SD card reader easily. So, I'm clueless. Sorry.......

Using Lightroom 4.2 - Windows 8 - Canon 5D Mark II - trying to tether but will not detect the camera

Trying to get my Canon 5D Mark II to tether. It is on the "good" list. But all I can get is "Camera Not Detected". Computer sees it ok. But LR seems to be oblivious.

Further infomation. Computer see the camera when it is connected and switched on. Shows up as "portable Device". Canera also see the computer as instead of shutter speed in the viewfinder it flashes busy. So connection seems quite fine. If curious camera Firmwear is 2.1.2. Puzzled!

Canon 60D not recognized by iMac

My early 2013 iMac 27" running Mavericks does not recognize my Canon 60D when plugged in via USB.
I've tried Image Capture, iPhoto, Lightroom. Nothing will recognize it. I've also tried plugging via USB hub and straight into a USB port of the iMac. Even tried different USB cables. No luck.
I also have a late 2008 MBP running Mavericks and it reads my camera just fine when plugged in via USB.
I know I can just use a card reader, but that's not the issue here. Why does my MBP read the camera just fine but iMac doesn't? It was working fine last week and out of nowhere it just stopped working. I'm baffled.

                                                                                                                    2014.06.15
Some questions and suugestions.
When did it stop functioning ? If it works on another computer, you at least know that the Canon is OK.
So the Canon works, leaving the iMac as the most likely culprit, but I think you may be looking in the
wrong direction. Go to the Canon web site and see if they have a later driver than what's in your iMac.
I would also send separate emails to Canon and to Apple. I'm sure that both would be interested.
               I hope that this may be of some use to you; when any product fails to function, its' usually
driver related. Other than that, take two asperins and call yourself in the morning. ( lame, but I couldn't resist )

Camera Raw does not read previously saved XMP files (Canon 60D)

Hi,
I want to ask if it is a real problem or just me doing something wrong.
I open RAW files made with Canon 60D (Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw 6.6), then I do what a do (cropping, exposure changes, sharpen ... etc.), then I click the Done button. Camera Raw saves XMP files along with the RAW files. After this I want to do some more editing, I open the RAW files, but Camera RAW does not "remember" what it did just minutes before. I suppose that it is not reading the XMP files that it created.
So is it me or it is some kind of bug?
I don't have this problem when editing RAW files made with Canon 400D.
Thanks for your time!

If I understand correctly the issue is not viewing in Bridge, but rather that ACR doesn't remember the changes.
There is a discussion in the Camera Raw forum about this issue of not always reading the changes after clicking Done in ACR.
But no solution.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4096784#4096784
Yes, ACR doesn't remember/show the changes I made.
It seems that I have the same problem as the other forum member from the link. I tried to recreate the issue, but this time all went well and ACR displayed the changes I made ...
It is strange because I had the issue numerous times on two different windows PC's ...

All clips from Canon 60D come out lagging

I just recently bought both a Canon 60D and Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook Pro. I have since tried repeatedly, in several ways, to upload my shot footage from that camera, and all of it lags and is choppy, at many points, having the frames dropped left and right.
I have tried:
1). Converting my .mov files to Apple ProRes
2). Changing the frame rate
3). Uploading the clips from their converted states off of a 1 TB hard drive into Final Cut
Among many others. The above methods didn't work.
I also tried editing the clips in Adobe Premiere... it lagged on there, too!
Two things though....
1). It DID play on iMovie just fine... along with Quicktime Player and a few other mediums that don't do what I want to do
2). Playback on the camera itself is smooth and clear just like I shot it.
HELP!! I've been trying to figure out my lagging issues for a week now. Help, PLEASE.

If they didn't play back smoothly with Pr or FCPX, I would wonder about hardware issues. Check to se that you have adequate free space on your system drive ~ 20% would be good. What are your system specs?
Also, here you're singling out the DSLR clips. How about HD footage from other sources?

Canon 60d keeps shutting itself off!!

I'm having a major issue with my Canon 60d and I'm hoping you can help me.
I'm shooting a documentary with many interviews. This **bleep** camera keeps shutting off. Not the 12 min shut off during video, it just keeps shutting off.
I read on blogs about the SD card not keeping up. I've used two cards: ScanDisk 32 mb class 10, and Transcend 32 mb class 10 and had the same issue. I'm shooting 1920x1080 24fps.
I'm thinking maybe the camera is getting hot? It will initially record fine for about 20 min's then shut off. Recoding again it shuts off after about 7 min. then 5 min, then 3 then continues at a lower and lower recording time until it shuts off around 30 seconds into recording.
I have found nothing online that will solve this problem.
I am interviewing many well know figures who have been around a long time and have great notoriety, and it's extremely embarrassing to have this happening. Not to mention not getting the information I need for the movie because of camera issues.
Please help!!!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Much gratitude,

It would be very unusual to not get the white and red icons. I suggest more experiments and you might try to reduce your resolution. Have you tried 720P? Also, 32 GB is a huge card size. (I know, I know, they are very cost effective.) You should try a smaller size card. Thirty minutes of 1080p movie should work out to about 2GB making a 32GB card capable of holding about 7 hours of footage.
I guess the bottom line is you should make certain that you don't need a second body to film your interviews; something I think you should seriously consider. One body could cool while the other shoots.
Good luck.

Canon 60D saved footage files in H264...need to convert...is there a way to automatically shoot and save as a different codec?

Hey,
My friend has the Canon 60D. We shot some footage and I uploaded it to my computer and saw that it was H264 codec. I now have to convert it all to ProRez Lite. I'm not too familiar with the camera but - is there a way for the Canon 60D to automatically save the files it shoots to a better codec so that when I upload them to my computer it's ready to go?
My friend only has an 8GB SD card. The stuff we would be shooting would'nt be too too much footage but if there was a way to make it save as something like Pro Rez lite where it can be editable in FC and still a decent file size that would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the replys. Since it's not my camera he was just letting me borrow his sd card, so I wouldn't be able to do the log and transfer thing because I won't have the camera/usb etc. But that seems like the transcoding would take some time regardless since it's still converting.
I usually use the regular Prores 422, but I mentioned trying out pro res lite cause I hear the quality is similiar and less on the file size.
I guess I will have to just deal with waiting to convert footage everytime I want to edit. It doesn't make sense to me why their default is a delivery format on a prosumer product... I can understand iphones being h264 cause they need it small compression on just planning to upload it raw to youtube or something but with a dslr which would most likely be used with editing is in a delivery codec... So is that the standard workflow with everyone to spend hours converting first?
Thanks

How do I view .mov files taken with a Canon 60D on my iPad?

I am trying to view video files taken by my Canon 60D on my new iPad. I copied the files from my camera to my PC, then tried to transfer them to the iPad using iTunes. iTunes displays a message stating that the files were not copied to the device because they are not compatible. The files appear to be H.264, 1080, 30fps which the iPad should support (according to http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/).
Did I try to transfer the files incorrectly or is there another issue that I am running into?

This does not answer the question at all. I don't want to organize it by note, I just want to be able to see the "whole" note. Sometimes the whole note is displayed and sometimes it isn't. I have a calendar event/meeting that was entered in Outlook. That meeting will include information that is pertinent to the meeting. When I look at the meeting on my iPhone, the information in the note, will not display. The first 3 lines might be there and the rest is cut off.
