Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / February 2005Canon A20, OS X, and connectivity
When I plug the USB cable into my Mac and into the A20, nothing shows up on teh desktop. When I open iPhoto, the app recognizes the camera and I can download the photos. One or two other cameras I've plugged in show up on the desktop as a mounted volume. This happens without installing drivers or any software. Why won't this camera do the "mount" thing, also? Am I doing something wrong?  SignaturePlease, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't ask a question here if I hadn't done that already.

You can't treat Canon cameras as a drive.. For some reason Canon cameras don't support USB mass storage. I have no idea why. A few other brands are like this as well. > When I plug the USB cable into my Mac and into the A20, nothing shows up on > teh desktop.

When I plug in the camera to the keyboard via USB cable, 'Image Capture' opens, and I just download the images to my desktop. Check your 'Image Capture' 'Camera' prefs. It's setting choices are 'Image Capture', 'iPhoto', or 'No Application'. I bet it's set to 'No Application' now. I didn't install any of the software included with the camera... it's doesn't seem to be required. Good Luck!

Ever heard of a memory card reader? > When I plug the USB cable into my Mac and into the A20, nothing shows up on > teh desktop.

Others have given suggestions as to why it doesn't mount but I'd say get card reader. Much faster and for me it's much more convenient. Greg |
