While we are on this subject, an incident occurred the other day that
puzzeled me.
I have both a Nikon and Cannon, and for years, I would just wire the
camara (either one, they use the same cable) to my G4 Mac, open
iPhoto, turn on the power switch in the camara, push the "import"
button on my iPhoto, and the pictures would automatically download
into iPhoto.
That was then.
On my last attempt, I had twenty or so photo in my Nikon, and I went
to download, but for some reason, my iPhoto had been altered, and no
longer contained the "imput" button. I finally managed to download
into the Nikon program, after which I had to move the photos, one at a
time, into IPhoto.
Very time consuming. What am I doing wrong? How did I screw up what
was an easy thing?
I have not downloaded any photos from my Cannon lately.

Hi David,
Yes, trying directly from the camera with a cable. I am planning on
popping out the SD card to see if I can get the images imported from
that. I will also read through the thread you sent me. THanks... I
will let you know how it goes!

Subject: Re: [MacGroup] Problem w/ JPG files in iPhoto
Thanks for the prompt reply. Now, I have a couple other questions...
are you importing the files direct from the camera, via the camera
cable, or inserting the memory card , and reading from that. Also, it
may be the type of JPG file the camera software creates, that the
Canon camera software creates thats not compatible with iPhoto.
The following forum link has info that refers to your issue.... might
help to read through it, as it shows several options to try.

Hi David,
Yes, iPhoto... sorry about that. It is a Cannon Powershot A400. The
message it is giving me is:
Error downloading image.
iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem
downloading an image.
I have also gotten a message specifically saying it cannot download
the JPG files.
It has been pretty weird and frustrating! This is in the latest
version of iPhoto.

Subject: Re: [MacGroup] Problem w/ JPG files in iTunes
Stuart, could you provide the error message info you are getting when
attempting to move the files, and just for clarification, is this with
iPhoto, or as the subject line hints at, with using iTunes. Also which
model Canon camera is it? I have owned several in the past.

Hi,
Well I got the files transferred over, but now, for some reason I am
getting an
error message when I try to import JPGs from my camera to IPhoto. It
is the
latest version of iPhoto and it specifically says that it cannot
import the JPG
files. It is an "older" cannon powershot camera, but I don't know
why that
should matter. Anyone else have this or a similar problem? Is there
a fix? I
looked at Cannon's site and there are no firmware updates for the
camera.
Really need to be able to transfer photos over to iPhoto... Any
thoughts/help
greatly appreciated!
Stuart
