After updating Camera Window DC, camera lens will not open

[footlooze]

I had been for a few years using with no problems my Powershot SX100 IS with the software provided at the time of purchase on an earlier Macmini. I would connect the power cable and usb cable and was able to take macro photos of coins etc.

I recently switched to a new Macmini and installed the software from CD (solution disk ver. 31.1) that accompanied the PowerShot when purchased. I did notice not everything was able to install as previously. So I updated from the software on your site to  include Camera Window 8.9.1.5, but now my PowerShot SX100 IS lens will not open while connected to my Mac.

The software installed is as follows: ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz, psx-upd-3-2-6-28-r8-u03-9l.dmg.gz and cdx-inst-8-9-1-5-u01-9l.dmg.gz.

What can I do?

Hi footlooze!

Thanks for posting.

What version of the Mac OS are you running on your Mac Mini?

Hello Mike, Thanks for your reply. I'm currently running OSX 10.9.1 and think that the original canon software on cd will not allow me to use the remote shooting feature as when I was running OSX 10.3 something. Please advise.

footlooze,

Because of how new OS 10.9.1 is, there is not a version of CameraWindow DC that is officially compatible yet.  I recommend that you continue to visit the website as new updates are made available in the future.
