I give the answer and you cut me off? Wow. Have a great weekend.
For everyone else - here is the answer - unless it's deleted for lack of technical response as someone from this monitoring forum just did that on another reply:
1) Go Canon's site for your country...type in your camera model and get the updated software from Canon.
Install; attach camera and all should work.
Certainly not very Apple like....much more like how PC's work.
Iphoto and Image Capture will not work in the new Mac OS with older Canon Cameras unless you install the updates directly from Canon.
Canada is: http://146.184.121.145/inetCA/en/serviceDetail/method/load/id/1/sid/10/mid/00022 00097/type/D/opt/1
2) Once you've downloaded the appropriate software from CANON (which is the Camera Window at minimum and Photostitch and Image Browser if you want them like before in the CD packs that came with the older cameras)...
3) Double click the downloaded dmg (disk image) files....it will not be obvious that anything has happened...but in Finder, you will see that it has loaded as a new device under devices....
4) From THERE, you can install the product (just double-click on the device canon has loaded like an external HD or additional device) and the rest is as you normally would do with windows...just follow install instructions.
5) Connect your camera and the CANON browser opens automatically and voila!
Problem solved.
