Last year I bought a new Apple iMac to replace my 11 year old desktop.   When I tried to download photos, the new iMac would not recognize both my card reader and the cameras.  It sill worked fine on the older computer, so I thought my camera firmware was too old for the new version of IOS.  

 

Today, got over the procrastination, and updated both of the bodies I use.  Neither could be seen by my iMac.  After a couple of calls to Apple (the first was a dropped connection), I learned that my version of IOS only works through an application called Image Capture.  I can now load images directly from the cameras, but not from the card readers.  I suspect a new, compatible card reader may solve that.

Steve,

 

Good luck with your new Apple. I hope you get it debugged soon.

 

One of the things I have come to dread the most is upgrading my home computer. I did so last fall, by buying a new HP with all the bells and whistles. Long story short -- I ended up sending it back after a few days. So I then found Puget Systems, who custom built my new desktop, for significantly more money, but it works flawlessly. Particularly fast with photo processing. I am very happy with it. But moving all the files and programs was still a major PITA. It is all working right finally, but I kind of hope I never need to do this again. As unlikely as that is.

 

I also bought a UPS, which has already helped twice when those brief power outages crop up.

 

Tony

Thanks, Tony!

 

So far that has been the only hiccup, and it was only an irritant.  I hope I can find a card reader that the computer recognizes.  If not, I’ve got several work arounds.

Steve not by and means a expert on this,but do you have a Nikon?

On my Nikon A1000 I use the app Snapbridge to connect the camera to my phone.

 

From the phone it goes to the cloud then the I-mac.

 

Don't know if that app will work connecting to a desktop.I also have Apple products.

Just seeing this Steve and not sure if you resolved it. I have a new MacBook Pro and the C USB card reader does fine. There are time when a 3rd party device needs to be allowed for it to be seen, also the card needs to be formatted for Mac.

Rob, it’s partially resolved, and I suspect I know the other part.  Unbeknownst to me, Apple added a photo downloader to the new iMacs (my old machine was a 2009).  It appears to be the only application that allows image transfer to the computer.  By hooking directly to the cameras,I can upload to a directory, then import into LR from there. Previously, I could load using LR.  

 

My guess is the image capture app is looking for a USB compatible card reader, which I haven’t yet purchased.

Gotcha. I have a few wildlife trail cameras that use cards and I use either a reader for the iPad or the image below is one of the C USB readers.

My Mac imports to the Download folder and I select and drag to the photos app or wherever I want then delete from the Download folder to keep it clean.

 

My Canon has a card and supposedly modern wifi/bluetooth arrangement that is so archaic it isn't worth all the steps (requiring a Canon app then transfer to Mac... not good)
