Love my 1D2n!

Sorry to read about your stolen items, good luck on them returning to you!

I had a $12K racing ATV stolen from me a few years ago, I carried the VIN # in my wallet for about 4 years before i finally set it free... Local sherrif or cops wouldn't do any finger printing or anything, said it wasn't considered grand theft auto because it was an off-road vehicle, not street legal. BASTARDS !!!!

Hey, thanks Tim! State Farm treated me right after that deal, I really can't complain as much as I'd like to. Sorry about your ATV, that sounds much, much worse! Hope you were insured? Did I buy your 100-400 a couple of years ago? Your name looks familiar... If so, still have it and use it pretty much every day.

Cool a new thread! I miss my IIn terribly. I got to get me another.

How do I change the name on the camera?

I'm using a Macbook Pro, hooked up the Firewire cable, opened Canon Imagebrowser, but it does not recognize the camera. If I open LR3 I can shoot tethered so it's connected to the camera and can view the pictures that I've shot.

Help a brother out...what do I need to do?

You know what, I think you did ! haha. glad to here it worked out for ya, I found myself a off brand 300 /2.8 and a couple extenders that are working out for me when i get a chance to shoot anymore. Unfortunately i don't get to shoot as often as i used to anymore. the last year has been CRAZY for me. went from a single daddy in an apartment to being engaged and now having 2 new "soon to be" step daughters, and another one baking in the oven, just found out yesterday, another girl !!! So it'll be me and my son and the 4 women, I guess come Febuary I'll have a darn good reason to knock the dust off the old 1DmkII's, plus i'm also a recent new homeowner. WHEW, the time flies !!!
As far as the ATV, no insurance, since it was a "race bike", i didn't even have the number's on it yet, but just becuase of the work i had done to it, every insurance co I spoke with automatically said, "NO RACEBIKES!"

I tried EOS utility but that didn't work.

Seems like it should be an easy task but can't seem to figure out.

I can't even remember how I did mine but Im pretty sure that it was with EOS Utility on a windows Vista machine, I know that it won't work in windows 7

it probably would if you install it using compatibility mode and set it for xp

It needs to be EOS Utility that came bundled with the 1DII, or you need to download the proper WIA drivers and Utility for this XP era camera..

As mentioned, Windows 7 (or equivalent Mac OS) will not recognise the camera.. Many times Vista will not work either..

What about Windows XP?

XP works fine. I can't remember how I did it, but I'm sure it was a simple as having the drivers and programs installed, plug the firewire in camera at one end and laptop at other open EOS utility and edit!
