Canon CameraWindow not working in 10.6

Yes, that would be a good start 🙂


Do you have iPhoto configured to ignore your camera?
You may also want to connect the camera, then open image capture.

if either of those will see/retrieve from your camera, then it's a good bet the Canon software needs to be updated.

Ok.

At least you have a workaround with imagecapture 🙂

I'm having a similar issue with Snow Leopard & Canon's Camera Window software (vers 7.0.0.12). After I plug in the camera USB cable, It detects the camera, starts up then hangs, I dont get the start up window, where you click "Transfer images". Image Capture works, but I like the CW software better, it has a better interface. I reinstalled the Canon software, no difference....nothing helpful on the Canon website.

This issue is not "solved." Using Image Capture is a work-around, not a solution.

When doing a series of image transfers from my PowerShot SD1100, Canon Camera Window remembers previous transfers and only downloads new photos. Image Capture does not remember, so each new image must be marked for download. Otherwise all photos transfer, resulting in duplicate files. That is a more complicated work flow.

My Camera Window is the most recent version, but continues to hang with the "failure to initialize" error message.

Either Canon or Apple should fix this soon.

I think it's a Canon issue. Canon has not updated its software since the release of 10.6...looks like the devs need to pull their fingers out!

Hi Ed Slater;

You might not think it is solved but the OP does so that is all that matters. This thread is now solved by him so be it.

If you feel there is more to discuss, start your own thread then you have control over when it gets marked as solved.
