10D not connecting to ImageBrowser

Finally took the plunge and upgraded my D30 for a 10D (last Friday on a trip to NYC).

Not had much chance to compare images from the two, but I like the focussing on the 10D and a few other handling features, so am happy with that side of things.

Just tried to download some images, however, and the camera is refusing to connect.

When I launch ImageBrowser, it doesn't detect the camera on the USB setting. Simply leaves the "Detected Camera" box blank and leaves "busy" flashing on the camera's top LCD.

Have tried all combos of connecting the camera, switching it on etc. Have restarted the Mac (using OS X 10.2.8 btw) to no avail.

The cable and software are OK, I think. I have an Elph 400 and that connects fine.

Oddly, when I first installed the software the camera connnected OK.

Any other ideas before I have to admit that there's a fault on the camera? If I get time I'll try it on a PC too, but am fearing that the USB connector is faulty.

All other functions appear to be working fine.

Thanks in advance for any input/ideas. I'll also try posting on the software forum.

I'd been fiddling with the Communication setting on the camera and changed it to PTP. Of course, I forgot that I'd done this and a line of queries from my other half reminded me!

Switched it back to "Normal" and ot connects fine.

Will now do some reading on exactly what PTP is meant to do...

Hey Murph,

Are you sure you have a 10D or a Digital Rebel?

10D doesn't have the option for PTP only the DR.

With the latest firmware update (version 2) PTP IS available on the 10D
