(very cool video iChat gadget, fun and useful) I unloaded them in order, restarted then plugged the camera in again to see if it was still crashing. There were several third party binaries near the top of my list. Below the listing of threads are the components active at the time of the crash. Below that are some details about the application and a thread-dump of the crash. Scroll up from the bottom until you see a line of asterisks, these are the beginning of the last crash report. Use that path to navigate through the log listings in Console.Ĭrash Reports are 90% meaningless unless you wrote the application. These confirm that MassStorage had crashed and show the location of the log file.

Because Process IDs count up, whatever launched next would appear at the top of the list. To try and figure out what was preventing the camera connection from working, I opened Activity Monitor, made sure “All Processes” was selected at the top (I always have that option selected) then sorted the list by Process ID descending. First, I confirmed it wasn’t hardware the camera worked fine on Michelle’s nearly identical PowerBook. It took me a bit of sleuthing to determine that Flip4Mac was causing this. Before figuring out the following I was afraid my camera was broken or the xD card was defective. I was also having all kinds of trouble sharing my iPhoto library and movies downloaded from the camera would play until the last frame, which was inexplicably all white and would crash QuickTime player. Plugging in my Fuji F10 would immediately crash the Mass Storage component of the Image Capture thingie. Same problem using the camera as a reader or my little thumbdrive adaptor. IPhoto and Image Capture suddenly stopped importing from my digital camera.
