Hey All,
I did a search before posting, and a user named Proxy had the same problem, but nobody could answer him.

I'll try again, and hopefully someone can answer.
My PowerShot A70 does not mount to the desktop in Panther. I can't find the device in the terminal or by Go -> Go to folder -> /Volumes either. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to get this camera to mount? If not, can anyone here claim that they can mount their PowerShot A70 in Panther? Thanks in advance.

Yesterday (or thereabouts) a poster "solved" that problem
by applying the 10.3.5 combined update. His camera had previously
worked via USB.
If you're trying for the first time, try various combinations of
have the camera off when connecting the USB wire, have it on,
make sure the camera is set to play (as opposed to take pictures),
that sort of thing.

Of course. If I didn't have it set to play or do any of those other things, image capture would never detect the camera, which it does.
Also, I've had 10.3.5 installed for quite some time now, and that hasn't made any difference.

iPhoto works fine. I have no problems getting photos and/or videos out of my camera. The problem is that I can't mount the camera to the desktop. I have 512 MB of memory in my camera, so I'd like to use the camera as a storage device, which I used to do (I believe I could do it before the Panther installation, but that was so long ago that I frankly don't remember). I also tried looking for the device via the terminal, but I can't find it there either. Maybe I don't know where to look. Any pointers?

Wish I could remember which Panther update, not that it matters, but it did change the mounting icon on my CyberShot Sony camera. It is totally different than before. Just for fun, if you are close enough, would be to walk into an Apple Store and plug in your camera. I've done that in the past to play with some of 'their' software and they did NOT care. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I just tried mine, A Nikon, empty 256mb CF, and transfered some files from the desktop to the card and back. Maybe a system glitch? Try permissions repair, run Onyx, restart and see if that works. Also sometimes having a really clean card makes a diff. Do a reformat of the card in the camera.

Have the same problem with my G5 Canon on both my G5 PM and my TiBook. Prior to 10.3.4 the camera would mount on my desktop and since .4 and now with .5 iPhoto will open up the camera so that I can retrieve the pictures, but not the movies. So now I have to plug in my CF reader and do it that way. I have tried every thing I could think of to fix this as well.

-Macpaul,
Thanks for posting the card reformat idea. Never thought of that, and hope the original poster will return with some good results and the fix .. if any.

So how do I reformat the card? Through the camera? Obviously I can select the pictures and delete them one at a time, but I don't know how I would format the card.
Goldenlager,
You can download video from image capture. It's very easy.

I'd have to be there. Try going to sys. prefs>cd's&DVD's and where it says insert Picture CD, click 'ignore'. Maybe that will make it mount. Also, after you have it hooked up, go to disk utility and it should show up there. You can highlight the card and click mount in the menu bar.

This is probably a duplicate post, but after you've connected your camera(iPhoto off), then camera switched on, if it doesn'tshow on the desktop does it appear in Disk utility? If so highlight it and clik 'mount'. good luck! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
