[DigiCam] Sony Mavica CD 400

[Eric Stauffer]

Jack,

Thank you very much for your response. I tried again after your 
advice and my set-up was in PTP. However, I think I was not patient 
enough, I just had not wait long enough. In fact, from the time I am 
connecting the camera to the time iPhoto responds again and tell me 
there are approximately 50 pictures, it takes about 5 to 6 minutes. 
That's crazy, but it works.

I used the process viewer to monitor iPhoto and make it did not crash.

Thanks for the advice,

Regards,

Eric
