Downloading pictures to iPhoto-HELP

I desparetely need help or clarification.

I have a canon Powershot S200 and want to download pictures to my imac, which has iPhoto 1.0 (without the current update).

How do import pics? When I connect the camera (via wire) to a USB port iPhoto still says "No camera attached".

What do I do??

Please help.

Simon
 
downloading from S200

your camera is not yet compatible with OS X and since iPhoto only runs on OS X I think the only way out is to buy a card reader with USB connection.

they are actually very cheap so that shouldn't be a big problem.

go to PowerShot.com
they have a USB Mounter for OS 9.0-9.2
but I can't see how this may help you since iPhoto is on OS X

anyhow....have a look yourself 🙂
 
If or when your camera is compatible you may still run into this problem form time to time.
a - pull out the USB cable for a few seconds then reattach it. OR
b - turn the camera off and then turn back on. OR
c - restart the computer or log out and back in.

My camera is compatible and I still have to try one or more of these pretty often.
 
Thanks for your replies,

But hold on, from what your telling me then I am not able to import my pics to iPhoto??

Thats sucks...

There must be another way of doing this.

AHHHhhhhh.

Ok, here is a simple question.

Does anyone know an OS-X compatable CompactFlash card reader??

Thanks

I use the SanDisk ImageMate for my CF card - plugs right ino my keyboard. Cost about $20 at Circuit City. Not sure how it does with iPhoto, as I haven't tried importing photos yet, but it works just great with Image Capture. HTH.
