Error Mac :Connection software for another Canon camera is already running

Hi,

 

I have just bought a Cannon XS 260HS and have no end of trouble with getting the software working with it.

 

Basically the camera can never connect to the Mac (Lion) 10.7.5

 

 

Whenever I plug in the Camera and turn it on I get this message from "CameraWindow DC 8"

 

Connection software for another Canon camera is already running. The software cannot be launched.

 

 

If I just click ok the error goes away... but nothing happens.

 

If I try to run ImageBroswer sx the program works.. until I try to import from camera... where I get the same error.

 

I have googled and discovered that this error is quite common (mostly on Mac's)... yet to find a good fix although someone did say that by rebooting their Mac every time it *seemed* to work... I am in no mood to reboot my mac every time I wish to plug in my camera (assuming that works).

 

Latest version of all apps installed (from the CD and then from the internet).

 

Help..

Hi rastus

 

If you are having the same problem then use Image Capture. It worked with my Canon Powershot sx510 hs.
