Mac OS X not recognising my camera

[Yixian]

I have a Fujifilm S5500. About a year ago I used to it to take photos and download into iPhoto on my macbook pro. I got it out again today to use but now the same laptop isn't picking up the camera, not in the finder, not in iPhoto, not in Image Capture... nothing!

Any ideas?

Is iPhoto completely updated?

Is it showing up under System Profiler under USB?

I'm not trying to be a smart-@$$ but are you turning the camera on? Also my Canon 720IS wouldnt get recognized until i downloaded the newest software from canon.

Canon does not support USB automount, but Fuji does. Canon may require that the user install its own software, but Fuji cameras should just work.

Yeha it's on, and I've tried having it connected while on each settings: playback, camera etc.

Nothing works.

Almost a year on and I still can't find a solution

Why not get a cheap SD/XD USB card reader and use that? That way it doesn't matter what the camera is/does, you just copy the photos from the card.
