Windows 7 - no idea.<br>
<br>
Ubuntu - I run Debian and see a similar message. If you un-mount
the camera (go to the file explorer and click the up arrow next to
the camera) then try again in DigiKam it should work. It is
possible to set it up so that you don't need to do this, but I can't
remember how off hand.<br>

hello.<br>
<br>
i don't know what to do. i am a photographer and used to have an
old xp computer, which has been replaced by an ubuntu 12.04 and a
windows 7 machines. on windows xp i used the canon software with
no problems. now none of the two machines will do the job. (the
windows 7 machine has a problem with drivers that it doesn't want
to install and i am fed up with it, because i cannot find a
solution anywhere. i even have purchased drivereasy to install the
missing drivers, but even these program will not do it. if someone
could help me out with this i would appreciate it a lot.)<br>
<br>
the ubuntu machine recognizes the cameras same as digikam, but as
long as i want to access the image-files in the cameras, it pops
up following message:<br>
<br>
<meta name="qrichtext" content="1">

to connect to the camera. Please make sure it is connected
properly and turned on. Would you like to try again?"<br>
<br>
i have a canon eos 500D and an ixus115 HS. i have the same
problems on both cameras on both computers. i have already tried
it out on a third windows 7 computer. on this machine the
computer recognizes each camera and installs the correct drivers
automatically.<br>
<br>
i am not a computer-geek, but i am far enough to know that
windows is everything but a user-friendly system, which has made
my life more difficult for the past 20 years. about ubuntu i
know that it is a much better and reliable system, however only
if you know the technical background...<br>
<br>
i am new with ubuntu and fed up with windows, nevertheless most
of the programs i use work just on windows. therefore i am
looking forward to be able to use all the alternative linux
programs, but since i don't understand most of it, i feel like
stranded. i really need these applications to work as they
should. i am really desperate. i hope somebody can help me out
with this. <br>
<br>
looking forward for a reply from your side<br>
kind regards<br>
