Question

Mini wont see my Sony DSC-P73 Camera

It used to but I must have changed a setting somewhere.
I have checked the usb port and it reads my usb stick and other Sony Camera phone fine. SO I know its not this.
I have put the Memory stick from the Camera into a card reader and it still wont see it.
I have put the camera on a laptop PC and it see's it fine.
I have put the card reader on the laptop and again it see's it fine.
When the camera is plugged into the mac, the screen display on the Sony shows a USB connection.
So I know the USB connector works, the camera works and the Mini can see other devices just not the Memory stick. My only conclusion is I have changed a setting somehow but have no idea what!!!! Any help gratefully received.

mac mini, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

First thing to check on the Mac is, open Image Capture and under Preferences for Image Capture, under the General tab, see what the setting is for "When a camera is connected, open:". It could be that you have no application configured.

Once you have confirmed the above setting is correct, if things still aren't working right, I recommend you try reformatting the Memory Stick while it is in the camera. Refer to the camera's user manual if you are unsure how to do this. If you have pictures on the Memory Stick that you want to keep, download them to the PC prior to reformatting. Good luck.

Thanks for that it was the reformating that did it. Cheers
