mac book pro,Leopard, C1 Pro 3.7.8 and Canon EOS 5D tethered
Hi, i would like to tell of my first experience shooting tethered with a new mac book pro running leopard, C1 Pro 3.7.8 and an EOS 5D, i was using a cable to connect to the mac. Half way thru the shoot i had to change batteries, when i put the fresh batteries in, i no longer had a connection to the mac.I tried everything.. wiggling the cable , trying another cable , closing C1 Pro and starting (which i did 3 times) again as a last hope i booted the mac up , but i couldnt get C1 Pro to connect to my camera, i had to continue the rest of the shoot on CF card to much annoyance. Does anyone have any similar experience and or does anyone know of a solution?
2 days later i re-connected the camera to the macbook and hey presto it worked....but i have a funny feeling that as soon as i get in the studio and start to work it will dis-connect again....this is not a good start for a new system ! and does not give me confidence. I have been shooting tethered with C1 Pro 3.7.6 and lower plus a windows XP note book.for a few years now and have never had a problem. Why now with the mac .....is it leopard?
I must say thou, i prefer the mac version of C1 Pro to the windows (same ) version. is there any reason why they arent both the same?
thanx

Thanx Paul Steunebrink, i took your advice and found a fix, which works.
delete the file “Type8Camera.app†from the /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/ directory.
this works in my case cos i don't use Aperture.
thanx again
Paul
