I have purchased a mac os 10.1 since getting my ds6618 digital camera. The cd does not work for my computer. What should I do?

Hi,
PLease download your driver here:

Connect your camera to computer using your usb lead. Go to my computer and you should see the camera (probably disc E ) Double click on E continually until camera files and pictures are shown. Highlight the pics you require and select move to file (move to my pictures) This achieves the transfer to your computer

If your reason for wanting the software is to download pics, just get a card reader and download to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can view the pics or open them in iphoto.

It is not nescessary to have the software either

ou can use the Camera without the installing the software supplied on the software installation disc.

The simplest way to transfer the photos from the Camera to the Computer is to connect it to the USB port of a Computer then follow the following steps:

1. For Windows Computer:
(a) as soon as the Camera is connected the computer recognizes it as a removable drive.
(b) open the windows exlorer by pressing the "Windows + E" key together.
(c) locate the removable drive in the windows explorer that represents the connected camera.
(d) double click the drive to navigate through the files and folders, then double click on the DCIM folder to view all the images.or navigate through other available folders to check if the images are stored in them too.
(e) select all the desired images then copy them by pressing "CTRL+C" then paste them on the hard drive of the Computer by pressing "CTRL+V".

2. For Mac"
(a) as soon as the Camera is connected the computer recognizes it as a "NO NAME" folder and display it on the Desktop.
(b) double click the "NO Name" folder to navigate through the files and folders, then double click on the DCIM folder to view all the images. or navigate through other available folders to check if the images are stored in them too.
(c) select all the desired images then copy them then paste them on the hard drive of the Computer by using the copy and paste operation.


Furthermore, you may use Windows Fax Viewer, Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Movie Maker to view and edit images in Windows and iPhoto in Mac.

Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

If your computer is running a current operating system, such as Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS X, there is no driver available for this camera to communicate directly. The best thing to do is to purchase ($10 - $15) a USB card reader that can read the CF card from your camera. There are programs 'built in' to current Windows and Mac OSs that can read the pictures from the card and load them directly into your computer.

Hi Andy
Why bother? You're using a Mac, use the Macs own software.
Just plug the camera in to the computer and watch what happens.

Here is the site for downloading the applications for the camera.
