Kodak 4530/software problem
Greetings, all. My apologies if this has been addressed before; I
don't see it referenced specifically. I recently bought a Kodak 4530. Love the camera. However, when trying to download the photo files to my computer, there's a problem. I plug the supplied cable directly into the computer's USB port, then into the camera (I don't use a dock), then turn the camera on. The cute li'l green light blinks at me for awhile (about five minutes or so), then the camera times out and shuts off. The picture files are not transferred to the computer. The software that I loaded onto the computer never launches, the computer never acknowledges that the camera is there. I'm using a Mac, system 9.2, a gig of RAM. (I don't like OS X, so that's not an option.) The EasyShare software is the most recent, according to my research. Of course, one of Kodak's "brags" is that all I need to do is connect the camera and turn it on -- the software should do the rest. That ain't happenin'. Anyone have any suggestions? (Aside from buying a card reader?) Shane |

Kodak 4530/software problem
You need to ensure that you have the software Version 1.4 as we discontinued
support for MacOS 9 after that release. That software is on the disc with Windows EasyShare 3.2 or earlier. Starting with the V3.4 disc and with the upcoming V4.0 disc the legacy Mac client will no longer be included. What system? Are you able to talk to anything via USB? That's the most common problem that we have run into using the legacy Mac client, the USB is not enabled properly. "Shane Glaseman" wrote in message m... Greetings, all.

Well, there are two possibilities he 1. you're referring to my reluctance to upgrade to OS X; 2. you're referring to my buying a card reader. If it's no. 2, I've already got one; just want to make sure I've tried everything getting the software to work. If it's no. 1, then you're to be dismissed as yet another yo-yo who believes that which operating system one uses on a computer is actually an important life choice. It works, okay? And I used and dismissed OS X as viable option back when it was called NeXT. Now that you've gotten your cookie from your mental masturbation and treated us all to watching it, is there anyone out there who's actually more than five years old who can address my question? |
