Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

I cannot upload my new Sony Camera Software onto my computer, help

If you want to import to iPhoto, open iPhoto Preferences and select from 'Connecting camera opens'. After that you can do what ever you like using iPhoto features. There are video tutorials available the will help you get familiar with iPhoto.
If you have specific iPhoto questions, post them in the iPhoto forum. Your chances of receiving good advice will be improved since they specialize in that application.
Ciao.

Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.

I can't find the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro

I can't locate the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro. Do I need additional software?

How & where did you search? I gather the videos are no longer in the cam? Where do you have the videos go when transferring from your cam?
Download WhatSize and/or OmniDiskSweeper to see if you can "see" the videos.

Use of PlayMemory on ipad to read video from a sony camera

how can I read the videos taken from my Sony camera TX10 format TS (AVC)? Videos from a Canon camera appear amonst the photos but not with the Sony camera
I have dowloaded the PlayMemory Mobile application but it is still not working.
Thanks for your help

I have used Canon still cameras for more than 20 years, always with great results. I love my Canon digital cameras. However, I have not purchased a video camera.
I like Canon too.
USB is not a good way to import Video.
USB camcorders use formats that use high compression to store the video files thereby lowering quality. This may be good enough to give you "decent footage" if so, then you won't have a problem using a USB camcorder. However I have never been happy with the quality that a USB camcorder provides (they always look grainy to me).
A miniDV tape cam will give you lossless quality video and is best for any editing purposes (iMovie, Final Cut etc.). So without Firewire make sure you get a chance to try out any USB camcorder before you buy.
Having a tape cam also allows you to always safely keep your original footage, plus make a tape copy of your finished movie by exporting from iMovie HD6 back to your cam. Tapes are far more reliable long term storage media, if stored properly, than any DVD or hard drive will ever be.

How to upload pictures from a Sony Camera

I have a Macbook pro with Snow Lepoard and I have 2 digital cameras, one uses an SD card (not a sony) and I uploaded those pictures with ease. I am having trouble uploading my pictures from my sony memory stick, and have used the adapter and still the SD card slot does not let it in, or does not read it.
I am doing something wrong or are sony pictures just not compatible with a mac
thanks.

You have an SD card slot adapter that takes Memory Sticks?
I would recommend getting a USB card reader for the job. It seems to me that there are at least two generations of Memory Sticks - make sure the adapter you have supports the Memory Stick generation you have.

How do i import movies from my sony camera into iphoto?

When I imported my photos from my sony cybershot into iphoto my videos did not come along with them. I've been using a canon with canon image browser until now and never had this problem. HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, connect the camera and manually upload the movie files to a folder on the desktop. Then import into iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.
