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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Flash drive won't mount on iMac but mounts on all other computers

    I have two new PNY 8GB flash drives and both work on a Windows 7 laptop and two different Macbook Pro computers.  One Macbook is running 10.6 and the other is running 10.7.  Two other flash drives work just fine on the iMac but these PNY sticks do not.
    I have restarted the iMac with and without the sticks plugged in.
    I have tried all USB ports.
    I have tried Disk Utility but I do not see anything on the left.
    I have look in /Volumes and I don't see the USB stick.
    What am I missing?  Why won't it work on the iMac but works on the Macbooks?

    My other USB memory sticks, an iPhone, and two iPods work normally plugged into the USB connectors on the iMac.  It is just this one brand of USB sticks that don't work on the iMac BUT the same sticks work on two different MacBook Pro computers and even a Windows 7 computer.

  • Canon PowerShot G11 on linux

    Hello.
    I've been trying to use my digital camera (G11) as a removable storage device through the USB interface on a laptop computer that doesn't include a built-in memory card reader. So far I've had little success: plugging the camera into the computer and turning it on only freezes the camera's embedded operating system, no automounting dialog or anything. There's also no record of this ever happening in dmesg, which I find rather weird.
    Anyone know if this is actually possible on linux? Is there a special driver / hack I can try?

    Have you tried using gphoto2 to download your pictures?

  • MacBook will not mount CDs but will mount & read DVDs

    This MacBook is used mainly for surfing, email and word processing. Very few other programs are installed and/or used. Recently it stopped mounting and reading CD's. It continues to mount & read DVD's. When I insert a CD (commercial or home burned) the drives sounds like it is trying to read it and then after awhile it ejects the CD. I have other Macs & PC's which can read the rejected CDs.
    All software is up-to-date and disk permissions are in good shape. AppleCare had me reset the PRAM. Would appreciate any other steps I can try to fix the situation. In several weeks, I will be traveling to a city with an authorized Apple repair unit where I can have the computer looked at. I'd rather fix it myself if possible

    If your computer is covered by warranty or extended Applecare they will probably replace the drive.
    In many cases, though, these sorts of problems can be simply overcome using a drive cleaning disc.
    Certainly worth a try if you are out of warranty (Apple have said that they don't like cleaning discs in the past so you may not want to use one if you are still under warranty etc. I have personally used cleaning discs for many years in Apple slot load drives without the slightest problem however, and they have instantly "fixed" drives that would otherwise seem to be beyond redemption!).

  • I'm purchasing a Canon PowerShot S80 Digital Camera...

    I'm purchasing a Canon PowerShot S80 Digital Camera... Will the pictures taken on this camera import into my iPhoto? I own Mac OS X v10.4.7 and iPhoto 6.0.4.
    While I'm at it, does anyone know if this will work with iMovie and iChat AV? I have iMovie HD 6.0.2 and iChat AV 3.1.5.
    Thank you so much.

    Thank you! I have one more question (Sorry!)
    I ordered the camera, and it won't come with a battery or charger, so I'm purchasing these:
    http://www.keybattery.com/productinfo.php/productsid/11377/ad/google
    http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=13438887&search=cb2lw+batterycharger
    Will these work with my camera? If not, can you tell me what I need to get and preferably at the cheapest price? Thank you so much for your time.

  • Iv'e upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now microsoft office 2004 and my canon powershot camera software will not work. any suggestions?

    I just upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8. Now my Microsoft office applications,(word, excel, ppt) and my camera software to transfer picts from my camera will not launch. (Separate apps but all stopped working as soon as I upgraded from 10.5.8). The software for the Canon Powershot is Ver.37.2. Image browser 6.2 EOS utility 1.1.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Also if you could tell me what happens to the individual jpegs that get imported through iPhoto, I would go back to using that instead of the Canon software. I want to be able to go into a folder and see all the jpegs and not have to rely on iPhoto's one enormous file. What happens if that iPhoto file gets corrupt? Thanks, Leesha

    Actually, Microsoft Office 2004 works fine with Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x. However, it does require Rosetta, Apple's app for Classic apps. In your upgrade from Lepoard 10.5.8, Rosetta may not have installed but you can manually install it with the instructions here.
    On another note, when upgrading the OS, some anomalies get resolved by repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
    One more note, there was an issue with Rosetta crashing with OS 10.6.8 in February 2012. Apple released a security update that fixed it. You can see if Software Update (launch from the Apple menu) shows it or manually download Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 and install it. Software Update will also show other applicable apps available for updating for your upgraded system.
    Rosetta is no longer available with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. Then you will need to upgrade MS Office 2011 for Mac.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • LaCie external drive won't mount on iMAC

    Hi,
    My external LaCie external drive won't mount on my iMAC running 10.6.8 but will mount and show up on my PC as working fine, however I am not able to read the information on it as it was formatted for my iMAC. Therefore it leads me to believe this is a software issue.
    I have reason to believe someone had changed the permissions and prevented the mounting of this external drive (which belongs to me)  so that the contents won't be found on my iMAC.
    How to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Cait

    Cait,
    Please try a SMC reset, it may take 2-3 attempts for it to work. Look over the instructions below carefully.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • 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.

  • After installing canon camera window 8.8.0.10 "No camera found". My Powershot G11 worked fine before installing OS x lion

    "No camera found" messagers have occured since installing OS X Lion. I downloaded latest software Camera Window DC 8.8.0.10. Still the software cannot find my Canon Posershot G11. Software and OS Snow Leopard worked fine since I got my camera.

    stefan, try using a different usb port.  i had the same problem and when i changed usb ports it worked.  not sure if it's because one port on my mbp is powered and the other isn't...?  when i changed to the powered usb port camera window worked, it recognized my g11 right away...then it worked on the other port afterwards...i can't explain why this would happen.  anyway, good luck i hope this helps.

  • 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.
