2. Successful Connection to Apple Mac

 

  • The Apple computer makes use of "extensions" and "control panels" to extend system functionality. Installing the Coolpix and D-1 software  Nikon View and Nikon View DX will add new Extensions and Control Panels to your system folder. Other third party hardware and software can also add these system components and from time to time unforeseen conflicts can arise when incompatibilities occur.

    When an Extension or Control Panel conflict occurs, the Coolpix or D-1  may not be able to communicate with your Macintosh. In this case you should use the "Extensions Manager" control panel to disable all Extensions except the base operating system set and those  required for the camera.
    Save this set as a new profile under a new name (e.g. "Base Set and Nikon") and restart the computer. Your camera  should now connect successfully.
    You can then re-enable the selectively until you find the conflict.

    If you need to retain the conflicting Extensions and/or Control Panels , you will have to use two Extensions profiles for when you need to use either your camera,  or the hardware/software that the conflicting Extension or Control Panel supports.
  • Disk doubler, RAM doubler and Anti virus software are likely to cause the computer to freeze or hang when an attempt is made to connect the camera to the computer.
  • Other devices which make use of the serial port such as Wacom™ graphics tables and Palm Organisers™ may also block communication resulting in an error message stating tha the camera cannot be connected.
  • Tip:Disable Apple Talk on the Serial Port that you are using.(reason: Apple Talk blocks connection to the camera.)
