Didn't realise you had a 350d Neil. That's what I've got, although I don't run it through a mac. My laptop automatically recognised mine without the software being installed. I haven't really used mac's that much. Have you tried getting a software update or done a web search for a remedy?

iPhoto or Aperture doesn't work?

Shouldn't need software, as it's just a mass storage device right?

That's how it recognises mine, yes. As said, I installed the software on my old pc, but never really used it, so I didn't bother when I got my new laptop.

open i photo it will see it then... or should atleast... any 350 i have used wont show up as a mass storage device on a mac... nikons will however...

In Applications - Image Capture, picks up the 350D as a device and lets you transfer it too.

I just use a Firewire Card Reader so much faster.

My 350D has always needed the drivers to be installed before being recognised on a PC!

all i needed to do was reboot the computer...lol

i will look into it as an idea on how the camera should be recognised just on the desktop

That's odd works on all my Macs at home and work with my 350D - camera switched on ?

As Malice said it wont just show up as a disc on the desktop though.

 

[Nafoff]

[Rich]

Got access to another machine you can try it on ?
