Fuji X100f wont connect to mac

[GumaRodak]

Hi, i have some issues downloading pictures from my camera. Maybe someone can help me.
I do connect my camera via usb to mac, running on katest public Monterey.
The green camera led turn on.
Then i do power on the camera and the display show usb connection.
And thats all, when i launch image capture i normaly expect that the camera will appear there but even after 10minutes nothing…
No, i dont have SD card reader

Do you have your camera is storage mode? Fujis have a few different modes when connected to a computer, and I think the default is image processing mode, where you use X-Studio to change film sims. You might also need to go to System Preferences, Security, and make sure that the Mac isn’t blocking the connection to the camera.

Yes, the usb connection is set as Card Reader…where to check if mac is blocking anything? I would expect some error message in that case…usb flash storages are working normally

It sounds like when you put a Fuji in storage mode, it presents itself not as external storage, but as a digital camera. You have to use the Image Capture app to get your photos. Or I believe Fuji makes an app to pull down your images, but I don’t recall the name of it.

I paid for Capture One Fuji, but apparently it cannot import from my X-T4. My new Mac Mini 2021 M1 has no SD card slot. I want to get photos from my X-T4 into my Mac Mini for processing. The Mac Mini shows the camera fine as a system USB device. Image Capture starts and there is a link to...

Thats the issue, image capture is not seing the camera

I have maybe found the issue, i am using cable for charging, looks like its not able to transfer data too…

It might be worth buying a USB card reader.
They're cheap and they almost always work...

Yeah, a card reader can make life easier. Also, as weird as it sounds, if the connection is USB-C, try flipping the connector over. It can often make all the difference.

It was the cable..
