I have Mac 0sx10.6 and until today I have been able to plug my Kodak Z740 into a usb port and download pictures in IPHOTO. All I get now is blanks and it tells me the files are unreadable (JPG. I tried downloading the updated firmware for Mac and it tells me there is no application available and I must pick one. HELP?

SOURCE: fix flash on kodak z740

to try if the flash is working..

*Turn off the camera.
*Install a set of new or fully charged batteries into the camera.
*Turn on the camera.
*Press the Flash Status button to scroll through the flash options until Fill Flash (the lightning bolt icon alone, with no other letter or symbol) is displayed. This forces the camera to use the flash.

If the flash of your camera will not work, refer to www.kodak.com/go/itg for interactive troubleshooting and repair

Fixing your problem could be as simple as cleaning the battery contacts in the camera, or the solution could be a lot more complex and expensive. Here's a link to the Kodak Help Center - it provides a simple Q&A format to diagnose the problem and propose a solution.

SOURCE: is kodak easyshare Z740 compatible with mac

Yes the camera sure is compatible with the Mac. I can only refer you to your manual as I'm afraid I've had NO experience with the Mac. I haven't even seen one for about 8 years. We are all Windows dummies around here sorry.

SOURCE: After upgrading to MAC OS

Hi Bob.

Problem is a well known issue between Snow Leopard and several cameras. You will need to play with installed software and setting. Here different work around.

Temprarily turn Bluetooth off. See here.

Try installing the following: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter

If that does not work, try setting the Mac with camera mass storage in USB mode, I quote a testimonial from this forum:

"I found a workaround/solution for my issue. My camera has two USB modes: "Mass Storage (USB DIRECT-PRINT)" and "PTP (PictBridge)". I've always used PTP with my mac and everything has been fine. But apparently iPhoto on OSX 10.6 no longer likes PTP (keep in mind that Image Capture handles the camera fine in PTP mode). When I switched it to Mass Storage mode, it works fine now in iPhoto."

If still no luck, change preference to image capture, I quote:

"1) ejecting the "camera name" from the desktop. I had to do this step because I had tried to connect to iPhoto and it didn't work.
2) Going to iPhoto prefs and selecting Connecting camera opens "Image Capture" - not iPhoto.
3) Connecting the camera again. Image Capture opens.
4) In image capture selecting from the bottom left hand corner Connecting camera opens "iPhoto"
5) iPhoto magically opened and I could import and delete."

If still no luck, do a new upgrade using a combo installer, see here.

If all that does not work, contact Apple, camera is supported by Snow Leopard and they must find a solution. See: Apple - How to Contact Us.

Ensure that you try all workaround, there is no "one for all Macs" solution for this problem.


If you repute my solution helpful, then please take some times to accept the solution. Providing good repair tips requires time and skills, and your feedback is important for us.

Good luck.

Ginko.

Consider NOT connecting your cameras to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.
