Camera manager will not recognize the camera if I have a compact flash card in the camera, it will if I remove it,
I haven't encountered this but I've seen it posted in various places as a known bug that Kodak is working on. I just used CM and a 14n to download images to my PowerBook this morning and the camera was recognized just fine with the card installed. It must only affect certain configurations. I wonder if maybe it has something to do with particular brands of cards or how they are formatted. I've seen this issue posted on the Galbraith forums with a response from Kodak. You might want to search that site... or just post a question there. I believe the work around is to connect the camera without the card installed, and then insert it after camera manager is launched and has found the camera. I don't recall seeing anything that said logging out was required.
Don't know if this may make a difference, but I have Image Capture prefs set so that Camera Manager is automatically launched as soon as I plug the camera into the computer. So far this has always worked just fine whether I have a card in the camera or not. Just plug the camera in and camera manager appears. I use Lexar cards and IBM MicroDrives if that makes a difference.
I did get Camera Manager to crash once this morning. I was trying to look at images on the camera LCD while camera manager was downloading and deleting them at the same time. I guess that's probably not a good idea. If I keep my curious fingers off the camera during the download process, all is fine.
