Fuji finepix communication error mac

Hey Sharon.Dose the error appear when you directly connect the USB cable to the pc and try to download the photos on the camera?

Having gone over a month without a reply to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Use a card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as iPhoto.

Best use Memory Card Readers, F10 is USB 1.1 so moving data is quite slow specially if you take 6MP photos. Just get a XD card reader whihc is USB 2.0

Try connecting the camera to another computer. Is the camera reading the same error? If not, it's a computer issue.
If the camera is reading the same error, see if there's a way to restore camera back to the factory settings, and try all over again. Good luck :)

It would be helpful to know which operating system you have on your iMac. If you are running OS8.6 to OS9.2.2, then you may need to install drivers for the Mac to recognize your camera. If this is not the case, you may new a new connection cable. A work around for this would be to use a memory card reader instead of connecting the camera via a USB cable.
