Nikon D300 tethered?

Nothing working for me with my D300. Just shows my Epson Scanner - which is not on - as my connected device. Cannot take pictures. Changed USB settings, have all updates and tried on a Mac Pro and a Mac Book Pro. The Mac Book Pro showed nothing tether at all, but I could import the pictures. Between the activation key and this arrrrrrh . . .

I'm having the same problem with a Canon 10D.
When I set the camera's communication setting to "Normal" Aperture identifies the camera correctly, "Canon EOS 10D", however it doesn't import any of the pictures I take nor can it use the "capture" button, even tho its not grayed out. The camera is fully functional, it doesn't go into "busy"
When I set the camera to "PTP" aperture Identifies the camera as "Canon Digital Camera" and the camera goes on "busy". The "capture" button is grayed out in Aperture and I can't take pictures with the camera.

Yes this great feature is working ... luckily I did not switch to LR.
It worked after I switched my camera USB to PTP and highlighted the project into which the images were to be imported.
I went crazy on this tethering and invited my brother (he lives in NY, I live in Germany) to share my screen in ichat. he then pressed the mouse to get my D300 to make images. So Apple gets the communication over the ocean going!

I tried both my D3 and D300 - no problem Tethered - except the HUD window labeled the camera as my Epson scanner. Go figure.

yah its easy i already did it this morning.

just change the camera from mass storage to MTP/PTP under the setup menu under USB.

Make sure you set up a "project" folder. That is what I did, once I highlighted the Tether menu item worked. D80

are you using the cable that came with the camera?

I first tried it with a basic usb cable i already had, didn't work. then i switched to the usb cable that came with the D300 and it worked fine.
