I have a communication error on my camera when trying to sych it to my mac-book pro. first time in a few years. Is there too much info on my memory card? is it my cables

  • kakima Apr 18, 2011

    Have you considered 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 iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.

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

Why does my Canon G12 Communication has an error message when uploading to my mac

Probably your memory card is full, you should erase some pictures from the camera and it will work. It happened to my Canon G9 . I erased some old pictures from my memory card and the message Communication Error disappeared.

Communication error

I had this problem with my Canon Powershot S90, had a really full memory card, deleted a few photos, turned camera off & on. Plugged back into mac and it worked. Assume something to so with limited space left on the memory card did not allow comms to be established.

I plugged my FujiA303 usb into my new MAC Book Pro

do you have a sound cards in your camera where you can take out the card and put it into a computer. try this buy a card reader and put the card into the reader and hook it up to the mac, (which I have ) and maybe they will show up. you have a program on the mac called i photo and thats how i do my pics, but if it doesnt show then yes u prob lost them but try this. it may work good luck.

I just hooked up my gigaware 1.3 megapixel camera w/mic, what else do I need to do to converse live with my daughter's Mac book pro?

You will need a software that does the communication between the two computers.

The easiest way is to install Skype on both computers and you will be able to talk and see each other. Of course you need an internet connection....

Skype is a free program ( I use it since 5 or 6 years), very easy to setup ans will recognize your camera automatically. It can be downloaded for Windows, Mac and Linux from here:

Mac version

Windows version

Linux version

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

...and enjoy talking!
