What happens when you connect your Canon camera to your iMac?
What happens if you launch iPhoto first and then connect the camera?
Have you done all the necessary software updates for both Lion, now 10.7.2, and for iPhoto?
Does software update show anything when you run it?

I upgrades my iMac when Lion was first available. It is a 2007 iMac with 4 Gb RAM. I can not connect my Canon XTi or my Canon G2 to Aperture 2.1 or iPhoto. Both worked before I updated the OS. Canon does not have any new drivers and states that no drivers are required. I am having to use a Windows machine to get my photos. Any ideas??
