Hi Neil The software for my old Canon PowerShot G2 was OS9. I spoke to Trevor at Team Digital, he sold it to me in the Perth Pro days, he said he was sure there was an OSX version. I had failed to find one and so did he.
Trevor suggested a Card Reader and I shall probably get one. In the meantime I located the JPGs for the photos I downloaded in iPhoto, duplicated them and put them in a folder in my system. But I do need to master iPhoto so that I can have photos etc on my iPad. These include my Family History Charts that are in Canvas 3.5 (no substitute in OSX) which I export as JPGs and put in iPhoto. Thanks for your help.
