Canon G2 workaround for Mac OS X 10.1
Canon G2 workaround for Mac OS X 10.1
Peter Kaiser writes: "My Canon G1 worked great on my iMac with OS X 10.1, but I just got a Canon G2, which did not work until I found and applied this hack:
- Login as root user.
- Navigate to /system/library/ImageCapture/Devices/Type4Camera.app.
- Open Type4Camera.app pkg by pressing the control key and select show package contents.
- Find the file info.plist within Contents folder.
- Open this file with text edit (it will say it can't be opened, then use text edit to open).
- Scroll to the last dict entry (at bottom of file paste just before </array>) and add the following code:
(g2 product ID=$3055, canon vendor id=$4a9):
<dict>
<key>product</key>
<string>0x3055</string>
<key>vendor</key>
<string>0x04A9</string>
</dict>
- Save the file.
- Log out as root and log back in under your usual account.
- Plug in G2 and voila...pictures download automatically into picture folder."
