Jul 14, 2012 9:49 AM in response to Kverlinby a brody,★HelpfulJust because it supports the RAW formats, does not mean the USB connection will work. Most digital cameras data transfer work better if you just connect the media card to the Mac via a media card reader, and then you don't waste the camera's battery reading the photos. Current MacBook Pros have SD card readers. I don't have time right now to lookup your camera, to find out if yours supports SD. If it doesn't, there are plenty of card readers by Sans Disk and/or multifunction printers with card readers that support other formats.

Jul 15, 2012 12:50 AM in response to a brodyby Kverlin,Ok, thank you. That worked! Still I am very surprised that I can't work with my camera as simple as it was on Windows.

Jul 15, 2012 12:58 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Kverlin,Canon does not make operating systems and computers. Apple does. As far as I remeber Win7 can mount my G10 camera without installing any software by hand. I'm not offending, I'm just a little bit surprised about this usability pitfall.

Jul 15, 2012 10:43 PM in response to Kverlinby Jeffrey Jones2,You don't have to install any software. Image Capture can access the camera. (So can iPhoto and Aperture.) The camera is not a disk, and it will not act like one in the Finder. Image Capture gives access to many more features than a mass storage device in the Finder would -- for example tethered shooting and synchronizing the camera's clock (assuming Canon supports those features).

Jul 16, 2012 9:30 AM in response to Jeffrey Jones2by Kverlin,It does not show up in iPhoto and Image Capture either. The only way to retreive photos is to insert SD card into card reader.

Jul 16, 2012 6:17 PM in response to Kverlinby Jeffrey Jones2,That's not normal. It should show up in iPhoto and Image Capture. If not, something is wrong, probably with the camera or the connection. Check the cable? You are turning the camera on, aren't you? (some people forget...)

Jul 17, 2012 4:32 AM in response to Jeffrey Jones2by Kverlin,I've tried different cables and different order of (plug in / switch on / open iPhoto) and still no effect. Win still recognizes camera with all my cabels, so I assume that camera USB port and camera software are ok.
Anyway - I am happy with cardreader. I've never used it before so I was a little bit worried about it's reliability, but it works perfect, so I have nothing to complain about at the moment .

Jul 17, 2012 5:05 AM in response to Kverlinby a brody,It is a big problem that has existed with digital cameras since the beginning. For whatever reason, they fail to use the HID standard properly, or test for its compliance. Apple uses this standard with all its devices. Image Capture may be a little more forgiving than iPhoto in terms of seeing the camera, so you might want to try that, with its variosu preferences.
