I wasn't totally sure where to put this, b/c I'm having the same problem with my Powerbook G4 running 10.4 and my eMac running 10.3.9. Everything here happens the same for both computers.
I just bought a Fuji Finepix S700. I cannot get the computers to recognize the camera as a mounted volume. The craziest part is that it is using the +exact same+ memory card as my old camera - the computer was mounting this card yesterday, and now it doesn't in the new camera. Image Capture finds the camera, but I don't want to use Image Capture. I want to be able to open pictures in Preview while they're still in the camera so that I can make informed decisions about which to download and which to trash.
I want to be able to trash files without downloading them. I want to move old pictures off my computer onto the card so that I can take it to Target for prints. Etc etc etc, all the things that you can do when it's mounted as a volume. The process PTPCamera shows up in top/activity monitor when the camera is plugged in. No drive appears on the desktop, and nothing appears in /Volumes.
I did install the included software just in case there was a driver on there somewhere that it needed, but it didn't help. Even their software doesn't seem to find the camera - only Image Capture and System Profiler know it's there. I tried reformatting the memory card. Can anyone help me? I don't want my computer to tell me what to do with my camera. If I want to use a download program, I will.
I just want it to show me the disk and let me do what I want. Barring that, anyone know of a good 10-12x zoom camera in the $150-200 range that doesn't have this issue??? This didn't come up in ANY of the reviews.
If its anything like my Fujifilm F30, it doesn't support a direct USB volume mode. As Fuji states: 'FinePix S5700 / FinePix S700 is compatible with PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)/MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). A PTP/MTP-compatible camera is a camera which can recognize the PC and printer automatically when connected.' Annoying, because I had a Fujifilm F10 and it DID mount as a volume.
The way I see it, your choices are: -Use Image Capture. I find it is adequate to preview the shots, and pick selected ones for downloading. No, it can't do file manipulation.Use Fuji Finepix Viewer for these functions.Find a memory card reader and deal with the card directly into the computer.
However, when I tried this (and several others have confirmed problems), PC cards don't seem to work with 1GB and larger xD cards. Hi, Brandy and louie. Find a memory card reader and deal with the card directly into the computer. However, when I tried this (and several others have confirmed problems), PC cards don't seem to work with 1GB and larger xD cards. Using a memory card reader is often the best solution for such problems.
But as louie says, high-capacity cards, especially those in the xD card format, seem to present special problems. Older readers can't 'see' them. Before you buy a reader, make sure its packaging or documentation describes it as capable of reading large-capacity cards.
My daughter bought a Fuji camera a couple of years ago, and we tore our hair out over this problem for so long, buying and trying three different PC Card readers, that she finally just replaced the camera with one from another manufacturer that uses SD cards instead. Only later did I learn that the capacity of her cards (1GB and 2GB) had been the issue all along. If its anything like my Fujifilm F30, it doesn't support a direct USB volume mode.

After finally hitting on the right combination of google search terms, it looks like I should have been looking for a camera with 'card reader mode' if I wanted to use it like this. I just thought a Mac would recognize ANY camera as a mounted volume. Ugh, why would they take away that functionality? Thanks for the tips on the high-volume cards.
This camera takes both xD and SD cards, and I've got a high-speed SD card on order for it (right now using the xD from my old camera), so I'll be sure to look for something that works with my card(s). How frustrating!
Well at least I know what to look for in my next camera. Canon's current cameras ALL prevent the cards inside them from mounting on the desktop of a Mac. This is plainly a conscious choice Canon has made, and in the absence of any explanation from Canon for it, I think it's absolutely dunderheaded. It does prevent people from running their camera batteries down to power the uploading of pictures from camera to computer, but it makes no sense to me to force people to conserve their batteries even when it's inconvenient, and I very much doubt that that's really what Canon had in mind anyway. If Fuji has adopted the same wrongheaded practice across its line now, that's another reason to give Fuji cameras a pass — in addition to their use of the xD card format, which has always been significantly more troublesome on Macs than any other format.
I don't let this little problem get to me if the camera features are what I want. I have set Image Capture to automatically open when the camera is connected. You can get thumbnails of all shots on the camera, and choose some or all to download.
I usually download all shots, then disconnect the camera. Then I use Preview to browse the shots, deleting the stinkers immediately. This is faster for me than iPhoto. Then I rename the folder with these shots and archive them.
For going to the drugstore to make prints, I prefer to burn a CDR with my shots, as the Kodak kiosk I use seems to have trouble with flash cards - maybe something with media formats or file types. After verifying my shots, I just erase/reformat my camera card. I think Fuji Finepix Viewer will do all of these functions. Apple Footer.
