Show digital camera as device in finder

How can I show my digital camera as a drive under devices in the finder. When I plug in my camera it opens iPhoto but I want to access the files without going through iPhoto. My camera is a Canon PowerShot SD1100. I checked the menus for a manual option but I couldn't find one.

I would totally expect this on any camera, except a Canon.
On many brands of digital cameras, there is a menu item that lets you choose USB Mass Storage mode. If the camera can be put in this mode, it can show up on the Mac Finder desktop as a volume. Canon cameras are interesting in that they generally do not support USB Mass Storage mode and so there is no way you can mount them directly on the Mac desktop. Nikons and others can do it, though.
This is not a big problem because there are so many other ways to get pics off of a Canon. You can use a card reader. You can use iPhoto or Apple Image Capture in your Utilities folder. You can use the Canon software that you install from the CD that came with the camera. You can use any number of other apps like Aperture, Lightroom, etc. that recognize Canon cameras. You just can't mount them as a disk.

  • IPhone isn't showing up in My Devices on "Find my iPhone" page

    I recently lost my iPhone 4 at an airport (or on the plane). When I first got the phone, I installed the Find my Phone app connected through MobileMe, though I don't think it was installed at the time of losing it. Fast forward to now...
    I've logged into Find my Phone (now hosted on icloud.com) and I can see my iPad listed under the "My Devices", but not my iPhone. The battery is now dead as I've called it, but shouldn't it still show up in the My Devices list on the Find my iPhone page?
    I'm wondering, if my iPhone doesn't show up in My Devices on Find my iPhone, does that mean it has been wiped?

    Thanks, Winston. I thought I'd done that, but as that sounds like a post-iOS5 update thing, I probably didn't. The funny thing is, I don't remember doing ANY of this for my iPad, yet, that device still shows up under My Devices on the Find page. Hmm...

  • Mobilemate usb card reader adapter worked well in Macbk pro. suddenly stopped showing up as a device in finder-it is listed as a device in utilities- how do I get it to show up again?

    Can anyone tell me how to get my mobilemate sandisk usb card reader adapter to show up in the finder as a device? Card is good and the adapter was working fine until my boyfriend tried to get it to work in a photo frame. When I plugged it back into my mac bk pro it is not recognized in the finder.
    It does show up in the utilities as a usb device.
    Does not show up as it had before in Image Capture or Iphoto.
    LIke I said it was working in this computer no problem. light is on as if it is reading. card is not locked.
    thanks!

    I reformated the disk with an applecare rep this morning. it did not correct the problem.
    the card works fine when I insert it directly.
    Just trying to find out why the adapter no longer shows up in the finder when it did previously- yesterday.
    This is a usb device. Device shows up in system profiler.

  • How can I rename my iTouch when the computer recognizes it as a digital camera device?

    I just bought a new iTouch and I named it "Jamie's iPod". When I plug it into the computer, it recognizes it as a digital camera portable device as well. But the name of the digital camera device is different from what I named it, even though I never did name it. How do I change it?
    Even if I right-click it and go to properties to try to change the name, it doesn't work. (I use Windows 7.)
    Thanks in advance!

    On the Pc While your iPod Touch is Connected to your computer . You can go to the Decive Manger  > Portable Devices > Apple Ipod . Right Click and Uninstall ( This will not earse nothing) Then Unpulg the cable from your device and  replug it. Pow it chage to Apple Ipod as how the computer should read it. (becuase it looks cooler. and the computer is like you just plug a Apple iPod Portable Device)

  • Canon digital camera utilities

    I've just got a new laptop with OS X 10.6 on which replaces my old one with OS X 10.4. I need to install the software for the Canon digital cameras but can only find 'updater' downloads for 10.6 which rely on you having the original installed on your computer. I have tried installing the software from the original discs but the computer doesn't recognise the CD, despite it spinning.
    Does anyone know of anywhere I can download the full bundle of software that comes with Canon cameras? I have been to the Canon website, but that is where the 'updater' software is.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I have Canon Camera Utilities running updated on my Snow Leopard. I moved everything over from my previous computer(s) using Migration Assistant and then Setup Assistant on the first bootup of the new Mac. I didn't need to re-install from the Canon Disk, so I don't have any experience doing it that way. Not sure, but it's possible that Disk might be too old for the new Mac to read properly. I know mine was from the 10.3 Panther era. Perhaps if you make sure you have Rosetta installed, the new Mac will then be able to read that Disk which was probably written for PPC Macs.
    One possibility for a workaround would be to connect the two Macs together in Firewire Target Disk Mode and move that Canon Folder in Applications in its entirety over to the new Mac. I'm not sure of this, but there may not be any related files installed in places other than your Home Folder Library, and any of these should be recreated when you install, update and run the Application. I just had a very quick look and didn't see anything. So, moving over just that Folder which contains the Apps might be sufficient. (Make sure you have Rosetta installed, since the old Canon App will probably be PPC. The new Mac will be Intel.)
    Directions for Firewire Target.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    (The new laptop has Firewire 800, which uses a 9 pin Firewire cable and the old Mac may be Firewire 400 which uses a 6 pin cable, so you'll need a 9 to 6 pin cable. Check first to see what the Ports look like. The old 6 pin port is kind of rectangular and curved at one end. The new 9 pin is kind of square.)
    The other possibility would be if you're in the US, you could call 1-800-OKCANON and ask for tech support for this issue.

  • How can "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility" 4.06 be removed so that 4.05 can be installed first?

    App Store currently shows "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility" 4.05 as an update.  When attempting to update the following dialog box appears stating "An error has occured - The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)(-1012)
    After searching found that the pkg files can be installed, However when trying to install 4.05 from a pkg file get the following dialog.
    Any ideas?
    Is it possible to erase 4.06, then install both 4.05 & 4.06?
    many thanks
    John

    after trying to install 4.05 via a pkg get a dialog stating "Alert - A newer version of Digital Camera RAW support is already installe on your system"...  Hence the question about removing 4.06.
    Is there a version of the Digital Camera RAW that contains all updates, like a combo?

  • Nikon wireless digital camera and AirPort Express

  • [solved] Digital Camera not recognized in device-manager

    My digital camera "Canon Powershot SX120 is" is not recognized by the devicemanager. I have read Digital Cameras.
    $ groups
    wheel storage users printadmin
    The "camera"-Group isn't needed anymore and this group doesn't exist on my system.
    The Powershot SX 120 has a  MTP/PTP connection mode (as the manual says). But:
    # mtp-detect
    Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
    Listing raw device(s)
    No raw devices found.
    gphoto succeed:
    $ gphoto2 --auto-detect
    Modell Port
    Canon PowerShot SX120 IS usb:002,019
    A gphoto --summary could be found here
    There is no udev-rule for this camera. If i create one while copying a rule from a similar camera from /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, and store it into /etc/udev/rules.d/69-canon.rules, the device-manager shows up. My udev-rule:
    # Canon PowerShot SX120AX (PTP/MTP mode)
    ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="31e0", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
    The device-manager shows me only the option to open with a file-manager. Doing so will result in an error:
    The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/ do not exist.
    With my udev-rule:

    Device Added:
    udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
    Without the active udev-rule, "solid-hardware listen" produces nothing, but
    udevadm monitor
    monitor will print the received events for:

    Don't know what to do ... is a udev-rule necessary to bring up the message from device-manger? Or is the Camera not recognized as a mtp-device (the Camera has no such settings)? How could i figure it out?
    With Digikam i could import Fotos, but i would do so with gwenview. I've tried to check it out with gwenview_importer:
    $ gwenview_importer --udi '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
    QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
    gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
      (don't care about the different udi, i took this example from a former try) but i don't know, how to find out where the "source folder" is ...

    I have solved this by making an extra udev-rule for my camera. See my adventure on forum.kde.org for details

    SOLUTION:
    Iam pointing t0 windows7 os.
    1) go to control panel
    2) open hardware and sound
    3) In that open Devices and printers
    4)In that u can find Apple Iphone.
    5) now right click on this --> Hardware --> Properties --> General --> Uninstall --> ok.
    6) now unplug and plug in ur iphone again.There u go u iphone name changes to its original name.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do.  It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

    Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do.  This device doesn't have a camera in it.  When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it.  I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all.  Can anyone tell me what to do about this?
