As stated, I am having this issue where the light by the wheel is just flashing over and over. It wont show up on my comp, LR or iphoto...

I've looked into it and haven't found anyone else, but I figured I'd ask.

Thanks

That means its writing to the card or reading of it. Strange...

Yes, just as if it were while it prepares the data... but then nothing ever happens.

Have your tried the obvious

- Cycling the power to your camera
- Removing and reseating the memory card
- A different card
- Does EOS Utilities work?


How about
- A different computer


....the best camera is the one you have on you at the time.

And then buy a card reader and quit using your camera as a download device. Its simpler and you dont have to deal with camera communication issues for a simple file transfer.
