Canon Powershot G7 won't connect

When I connect my Canon Powershot G7 to my MacBook (unibody) running OSX 10.6.4, it won't recognize my camera. Using Eos Utility, iPhoto and Aperture won't work. Other cameras do work without any problem. I understand that I can move the card to a reader. Any tips on how to solve this problem directly?

The cable might be faulty, but try looking on Canon's to see if you can find any troubleshooting tips there.

    Try downloading the driver directly from Canon's web site.

  • Canon PowerShot G11 won't mount on iMac, will mount on MacBookPro

    We have a Canon PowerShot G11. It refuses to mount (either through iPhoto, Image Capture, or Disk Utility) when plugged into our iMac (iMac10,1) 3.06 Intel Core Duo. We plug the USBcable directly into the iMac. The iMac is running 10.6.5
    We also have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 (2.4 Intel Core Duo, MacBookPro4,1).
    Plug the camera into that computer and it brings up iPhoto automatically every time.
    Plenty of disk space on both machines. Annoying! Any answers?

    I've seen quite a few posts regarding Canons not mounting on the desktop - I have a Canon myself; I've decided to avoid the issue by simply using a USB card reader (or use the built-in reader if you Mac has one) - solves not only the problem, but saves the batteries.

  • Canon Powershot SX700 won't authenticate and camera keeps giving the message "check settings"

    Help PLEASE! I'm pretty computer savy but I can't figure this out. I'm running on a Mac OS version 10.9.2 and I have downloaded all the software from Canon, I'm connected but the camera says check settings when I go to authenticate the camera....I can't upload any pictures to the Canon Image Gateway....I'm really frustrated with this. It shouldn't be this difficult. 

    So here's what happened....I had everything right; my camera saw my computer and I was registered. It just wouldn't let me authenticate. Canon Support (on the phone) tried everything with me and we couldn't get it hooked up to the online Canon iMage Gateway. Let me say here support was great and I like that but I think that it should be a breeze to connect to...it is with all my Apple Devices. The Canon Tech suggested that I take my camera and computer to a friends house and see if her internet modemn would let me connect....IT DID! Right off the bat. SO NOW I"M HOOKED UP AND AUTHENTICATED! YEA!!! BUT the uploader plugin won't work now and I can't seem to uninstall it....so if you had a "check settings" message- go to a library or neighbor and see if you can connect it through their internet.....good luck.

  • Canon MG 31222 won't connect wirelessly to a Mac book Pro.

    Trying to get a Canon MG 31222 to connect wirelessly to a Mac book Pro running OS 10.6.8.   I've turned off and on both printer and router with no success. In the print and fax dialog box, the printer is not listed, nor is it listed when I try to add a printer. Canon's site is useless. Their FAQs are useless. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work? No WPS button on printer. 

    If you are using Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 -10.8 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Restart your Mac.
    Now reset the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • Canon powershot g11 not connecting after mavericks update

    After update to Mavericks cannot connect my Canon Powershot G11, led ligts blinks green on camera, Preview opens, but not showing photos from camera and window not opens. Whats up?

    Have you tried using the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder?
    You can Import photos to the Preview app from there if you want or another photo editing app you have installed.

  • PSE 11 won't open CR2 files from Canon PowerShot G15.

    I was interested in PSE 11 so I could use ACR 7.x to open the raw (CR2) files from my new Canon PowerShot G15 camera--but even after updating the files, PSE 11 won't recognize my camera!  It's still not listed in the group of supported cameras on the Adobe website(s).  This camera has been out for a few months (at least!), so it's unbelievable that Adobe still won't support those files.  They only go through the G12, not up to G15.

  • DNG Converter won't recognize Canon Powershot S95 CR2

    I've just installed the latest version (6.2) of DNG Converter. When I point it to a small directory (5 files) of .cr2 files from my Canon Powershot S95, it gives me the following message:  “The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.”  It works fine with .nef files from a Nikon D80.  I notice that the list of cameras in the Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Adobe/Camera Raw/Camera Profiles folder includes the S90 but not the S95.  Is there really a difference between the files produced by the two, or am I making a mistake somewhere?

    Thank you.

  • Canon Powershot A75 no longer recognised by iPhoto after 7.1.3 (364) update

    We have been importing photos from our Canon Powershot A75 to our iMac G5 (now running Leopard 10.5.2) for some time.
    This morning an auto update for iPhoto was applied, taking iPhoto to 7.1.3 (364).
    Now iPhoto won't recognise our camera at all. I've tried different USB ports. Made sure it is in photo playback mode. No joy.
    Any suggestions?

    You might try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • HT201317 Can I access my photos loaded onto my iPad 2 from a Canon Powershot on my iMac running 10.6.8?

    I recently took approximately 300 pictures with a Canon Powershot camera during a 2 week vacation. During this time frame I put the photos onto my iPad 2 via an adapter and deleted them from my camera's memory card. Upon return my camera and iPad 2 were stolen. Fortunately I had Photo Stream on and the photos were stored in the cloud. I have since replaced the iPad 2 with the latest iPad and have the photos. I am now attempting to load them onto my iMac and am not able to do it. I am assuming because I have a 7-year old iMac running version 10.6.8 of Snow Leopard I will be able to access and properly store my photos. I am correct?

    Save the photos to the camera roll on the iPad, then connect it to your computer with a USB cable. You can import the photos using iPhoto if you have it or image capture if you don't.

  • Is there a way to import photos from Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    Is there a way to import photos from a Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    I was reading another post yesterday about a Canon PowerShot S40 owner who previously used Image Capture to bring the images into the computer. They reached out to Canon and were returned a response stating that the drivers weren't compatible for OS X Yosemite. The best bet would be a card reader. The JPEG files are still going to be the same, but connecting with a USB cable directly to the camera isn't feasible any more. Head to the nearest Best Buy and pick up a USB card reader and you'll be able to see your pictures in Finder and can then import them to iPhoto or wherever you keep your pictures.

  • Canon PowerShot SX280 HS disconnects while transferring photos

    I have a Canon PowerShot SX280 HS. I can connect it to wifi. It finds my iPhone and works well with the app.
    It finds my iMac and it connects: software starts, transfer of images starts, but then the camera is disconnected suddenly, message:
    "The camera has been disconnected. The software will now close."
    I don't know why it gets disconnected.

    Hi
    I have recieved a responce from Canon, they asked me to download and install this version:
    http://support-my.canon-asia.com/contents/MY/EN/0200234102.html
    Setup instruction
    1. Download "ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz" from the download page.
    Save "ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz" to a folder of your choice on your computer.
    2. Double-click "ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz".
    After decompressing the file, "ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg" will be created.
    3. Double-click "ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg". A drive named "IBXM_INST_11" will be automatically generated on the desktop.
    4. Double-click the "IBX11INST" inside the "IBXM_INST_11" drive.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
    But it did nor change anything, I then disabled my firewall, and after that I could download pictures.
    I have to run wirh firewall so there have to be a differen solution.

  • MacBook Air not recognizing Canon PowerShot

    I just got home from vacation excited to import photos to my MacBook Air (either using Picasa or iPhoto) from my Canon PowerShot SD3500IS.
    For the first time, my MacBook doesn't recognize the camera. I tried connecting to my old camera too and nothing. I tried Googling for the issue and nothing made sense.
    An help?

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Turns out the memory card had too many pictures on it. I cleared some out and everything worked. Sigh.
