Yosemite and Canon A630 camera

I have a Canon A630 camera which I have been using successfully on a Windows machine. I attached it to a new MacBook Pro running Yosemite and it does not recognize that the camera is attached. Do I need software from Canon or should Yosemite recognize it?

Hello DonHalt,
Based on your post, it sounds as though your camera is not being recognized via USB. I have included an article that provides some helpful troubleshooting steps:
OS X Yosemite: If a USB device isn’t working
If your USB device isn’t working, there are several things you can try to solve the problem
If a USB device isn’t working properly, make sure you connected it to your computer correctly, plugged it into a power outlet if it has a power cord, and installed any software it needs.
Check power and cables:
Make sure the USB device is turned on and its cables are properly connected.
Check for missing software:
Make sure you installed the latest software for your device. Visit the manufacturer’s website for any updates.
If the device is connected to a USB hub:
Make sure the device and the hub are the same speed. Connect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed HUB, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub, and so on.
If the device doesn’t have a power cord and is plugged into another USB device that doesn’t have a power cord:
Try plugging the device directly into your computer’s USB port or into a USB device that does have a power cord. You might need to disconnect and reconnect the other device as well, if it has stopped responding.
If you have many devices connected to your Mac:
Disconnect all USB devices except the device you’re testing, an Apple keyboard, and an Apple mouse. Make sure that the device is connected directly to the computer, and that any hubs or extension cables are disconnected. If you can use the device now, the problem may be with one of the other USB devices or hubs you had connected to your computer. Try reconnecting them, one by one, to your computer. When you find the device causing the problem, review its documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
Verify that the device appears in System Information:
Choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In the window that appears, click Overview, then click the System Report button to open System Information.
In the window that appears, see if the USB device is listed below Hardware in the Contents list. If the device appears but does not work, review the device’s documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
Restart apps:
Quit and restart any apps that use the device.
Restart your Mac:
Choose Apple menu > Restart.
Check your device’s USB connection
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Yosemite and Canon LBP 5200

I cannot seem to find a driver that fits between my updated Yosemite and my new (2nd hand) Canon LBP 5200. I downloaded the latest driver (for OSX 10.5) available from canon's website,
http://search-au.canon.com.au/canon__au_en__au_en/search.x?q=&ie=utf8&cat=0&ct=S upport&pagemax=10&imgsize=1&pdf=ok&zoom=1&hf=category%09zubaken&cf=model_sm%3ALA SER+SHOT+LBP5200&modelName=LASER+SHOT+LBP5200&ref=www.canon.com.au&pid=m8LewQkHc O7RE3irxpChUg..&qid=Em7T1TZvnrHhBHRxt99RWdugVEtFCiFs&d=DOWNLOADS%09Mac+OS+X+v10. 5
but when I go to add the printer, it appears in the list, but it does not show CAPT driver in the Use: box. It wants me to choose a driver, which I then do, and after selecting Select software, a list of printer drivers appear - except one for the LBP5200!!!
Please help

Download Canon LBP5200 NetSpot Device Installer v.3.2.3(r3202) driver
Says it's for 10.6 and it will work better than the 10.5 version.

Yosemite and Canon RAWs - Random "Unsupported File Format"

It all started with Yosemite betas, random raw files in Aperture would pop up with the dreaded "Unsupported File Format" graphic. I tried a lot of stuff, rebuild the library, delete prefs, etc. Nothing work. I tried exporting the raws and neither iPhoto or Preview would open them. Downloaded the LightRoom 5 trial and it opens the files fine. OK, tried Aperture on a laptop with Mavericks, the files open fine there too. So it looks like it is something in the way that MacOS is handling
Any ideas? Now with the final release of Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 trying to open one of these file just crashes the software. I can't really say I like LightRoom but if I have to move on, I guess I will.

What version of iPhoto is it?
The issue is that the OS provides RAW support, but the applications need to leverage it. Aperture 1.5.6 is old: Aperture 2.0 came out in March of 2008 so there hasn't been an update to Aperture 1.5 since 2007-ish. It is unlikely that any cameras that shipped since then will ever be supported in Aperture 1.5.x.
The improvements/advantages to going with Aperture 3.1 over 1.5 are huge (assuming you have a capable machine) and well worth it.

Premiere element 7 and canon 550 camera

I recently bought the canon 550 camera and tried to open the video footage on premiere element 7 but was unable to do so - an error message popped -up saying '...codec not installed.' I have downloaded the latest dng and it works for converting the raw images but not the video. The video footage is currently on my hard drive. Am I uploading the footage incorrectly or is element 7 not up to date with the canon 550 camera?

Video from still cameras like this usually needs to be converted --ideally to DV-AVIs -- before it can be used in Premiere Elements, as we discuss in the FAQs to the right of this forum.

If this video is an MPEG, you can convert it with MPEG Streamclip.
If it is an MOV, you can convert it with Super or Quicktime Pro.

Yosemite and Canon MX310 scanner are incompatible

I recently installed Yosemite OS on my Mini Mac (2011). Till then my Canon MX310 scanned and printed fine. Now it does not scan any longer and I get this message:
Cannot communicate with scanner for these reasons:
- Scanner is turned off.
- USB cable is disconnected.
It prints fine, no problems.
I looked for a possible solution and found that the Canon site does not list version 10.10 for the MX310. Can I thus assume that my printer/scanner is now obsolete and not compatible with my computer. If this is the case I am seriously peeved that I downloaded Yosemite. This is not my only problem with Yosemite.
Question: Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for confirming the connection.
For you to have the Scan button that you previously saw in Printers & Scanners the ICA driver must be installed. Typically this would be downloaded from the Apple Software Update server when you add the device. And this same ICA driver is used by Image Capture for scanning.
The ICA driver is installed in /Library/Image Capture/Devices and will be labelled CanonIJScannerX, where X is a number. I'm not sure what number it will be for this model. You should already have at least one of these packages in this folder. Can you reply with what you do have in this folder and I will check to see if the MX310 is listed in the respective packages you do have.
With MP Navigator/ScanGear also not working I wonder if you have some other software running that could be impacting the operation of the USB port? Ever had another brand of multifunction device installed on this Mac? If so, what brand?

IMove and Canon Video Cam

i just bought the new Canon Vixia HF200. it is Mac Compatible and i have imported the still photos from the flash drive. When i started to import the video into iMovie, all seemed well.
at one point, i wanted to start the import part over again because a few clips didn't import. iMovie stopped recognizing the cam. i have tried zapped pram, repaired permissions, trashed plists, updated all software. no go...iMovie still refuses to see the cam, it sees only my build in iSight.
i can still import photos with no problem...but iMovie just doesn't see the cam.
i am doing this on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

Greetings, Gil!
Here's my initial ideas for your consideration.
I expect that you have already checked to see if anything from this link helps you:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
I see you have reset PRAM, but have you tried resetting SMC/PMU? That, and other troubleshooting tips related to your inbuilt iSight may merit a look at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The other Apple Article I looked at about your problem is:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10331.html
The thing that caught my eye there is that you might be experiencing a conflict with DVD Player (or some other app?). Try connecting the camera, quitting any extraneous apps like DVD Player that might open, and then launch iMovie.
If that does not help, you might restart your Mac and try again with NOTHING but the HF200 connected.
If the problem persists, and if the only problem you experience is with iMovie, you might reinstall iMovie to see if that cures your problem.
If everything fails, we might want to brainstorm this via iChat
and then post the fix here for benefit of others with a similar problem.
Will watch for your status update...

OS X Yosemite and Canon iRC 1021

I had the same issue with a Kodak printer and an iMac at home. Followed this page and everything was working again. Give a shot and it might work for you as well.
http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49527/~/error%3A-filter-failed-message%3A-printi...

On our LAN we have a Canon iRC 1021/1022 used by several Windows clients and two Mac clients. The Mac clients, a MacBook Pro and an iMac, were both running Mavericks. Both have been using the same Canon driver downloaded from Canon USA.
Both Macs recently updated to Yosemite. The MacBook Pro continues to print to the Canon with no problem. The iMac however does not. When the iMac sends a print job to the Canon print queue, it fails stating "Failed - Filter" next to the job in the queue.
The Canon USA site does not offer a printer driver for Yosemite for this device, only a fax driver.
Since the MacBook continues to print to this device after the update to Yosemite, it appears the iMac could also, if the problem causing the failure is addressed. Any ideas on what might be the issue?
Thanks!

I upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer import photos from my camera

I have a Canon Eos Rebel SLR Digital Camera (Model DS6041). It has always worked perfectly with iPhoto on my iMac running Maverick. I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and now when I plug the camera in...iPhoto opens...and it shows the camera listed in the pane on the left but in the upper right hand corner of the main photo window it just continually says "Loading". I plugged it into my wife's Macbook Air which was also upgraded yesterday morning and it did the same thing. In order to make sure it was a problem with Yosemite and not my camera...I plugged it into my dad's Macbook Air which HASN'T been upgraded. It is still running Maverick. His Macbook immediately recognized the photos and loaded them and was ready for me to import. Does anyone know what is going on with the Yosemite upgrade and if it is being looked at? Thank you.

Have you guys tried this?... It worked for me
I called Canon and they said to change a setting on the camera and for me it worked. They said to go to the settings menu and go to communication... on my camera there are two choices... Normal (PC) and PTP. Mine was set to normal and always worked fine. After the Yosemite update...it no longer worked. Yesterday I changed it to PTP and the pictures popped right up. Hopefully you have similar settings in your camera and can try this...

IPod and Canon 350d

Hi.
I'm going to get an iPod Video (30 Gb) to be used as download tool of my camera using the iPod camera connector.
I have a Canon 350d: on the apple site, this model is not in the list of compatible model: any experiences using canon 350d with iPod via apple connector?
Moreover: when I download picture into iPod, Do the iPod save them using the original format (i.e. size) or is going to manipulate them?
Thanks in advance,
Ciao
Roberto
one reason is to have a simple place to download my photo from my SLR-Camera when I'm far from my iMac: so I'm going to take also a travel charger and the iPod camera connector).

Hey!
Roberto,
This is a cut and paste from a reviewer of the Apple camera connector....
"I bought the iPod Camera Connector to use with my 60Gb iPod and Canon 350D camera. Took it out of box, plugged it in and it worked with prompts, downloaded sample of 11 (off) 3 to 4 Mb JPEG photos straight to the iPod and surprise, surprise, I could even view the photos which I was not expecting until next connected iPod to laptop from Appple product information. A good buy and cheaper than extra memory cards for my camera. "

Iphoto will no longer recognize my camera, says it does not recognize the format....they are jpegs? And now it will not even open when I plug my Canon Eos Camera in to download. I have checked everything on the camera and it is working perfectly....

Iphoto will no longer open when attaching my Canon Eos Camera. I have checked the camera and everything is working perfecty. When I open it myself, Iphoto is working perfectly too. But now when I attach the camera, Iphoto no longer opens at all. Yesterday it did open after a really long wait but it kept saying that it did not recognize the "format" of the images....they were jpegs??? Then it flashed on and off and if I hit download at just the right second they would download. But today it won't work at all. Any suggestions.
thanks

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

Hello all,
I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw. My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs? Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Michelle

Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either. I've only run it a few times myself.
If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that. The forum may be able to help you get that working.
I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView). Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
1. Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
2. Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
3. Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
4. Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
5. Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
6. Save new Camera Raw defaults.
Some notes:
Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management. IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
Hope this helps!

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Thanks for your help. I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more

Camera connector and Canon Ixus 50 (Powershot SD400)

Has anybody had success using the camera connector and a Canon Ixus 50, aka Powershot SD400. I'm using a 40Gb ipod photo and when connected together the ipod just says 'connecting'and does nothing else.
I've also read in other posts that you have to navigate to a photo import menu - I don't have, well at least I don't have until the camera connector is plugged in, then it finds the hidden menu and trys to connect automatically.
Is this the normal way?
The software on the Ipod is 1.2.1 (latest available)
The camera uses PTP and has USB2 output.
I recently changed the Ipod to windows format, as i want to use it for data storage while i go travelling for a year, and also to store my photos, and thought the camera connector would allow this, but as yet, no cigar.....
Any help would be much appreciated

The Camera Connector doesn't work with the iPod Classic line.
