View your system log and console log with Console.app. Plug in the camera. Note what messages appear in the logs. They will indicate what the problem be. >[Please, no comments about the perils of using an old version of Mac >OS X -- for almost three years, camera imports have been >trouble-free under this OS.] Given the number of security vulnerabilities that have been fixed over the years, 10.4.6 -> 10.4.11, plus those in the layered products (QuickTime, Safari, etc), plus the various security updates... "trouble-free" is a sad excuse. This is the equivalent of driving down a highway at 80mph with no seatbelt, high on scooby snacks, and justifying it because you haven't crashed yet. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
