The Macintosh doesn’t recognize the camera

Different devices and programs may compete with the camera for the use of a
serial port on your Macintosh. If there’s a problem, a message tells you that
the camera is not responding. Make sure the serial cable is connected
properly, the camera is turned on, and the batteries have enough power.

If you have system software version 7.0.1•, try the following to resolve the
problem:

m

Turn on AppleTalk in the Chooser. AppleTalk must be turned on to use the
QuickTake software with system software version 7.0.1•.

m

Determine whether you have a LocalTalk device connected to the printer
port. If you do, connect the camera to the modem port.

m

If you have a non-LocalTalk device, or no device at all, connected to the
printer port, open the Network control panel and change the setting from
LocalTalk to Remote Only. (If you use an EtherTalk network, leave the
setting on EtherTalk.) Then connect the camera to either port.
