Last night I got my gear connected through a USB hub to my Mac. I got the message included in the attachment. As a result my canon DSLR is having problems getting connected also when I connect it directly to my Mac. I have a Canon 700D DSLR and a ZWO ASI120mini.



Any suggestions what I have to do with this?

This dialog message is to give you a chance to quit PTP Camera. The PTP camera program will prevent programs like KStars from connecting to the camera because the system is using the camera. So KStars gives you the option to quit PTP camera. Yes if you quit PTP camera, then the programs like Photos etc won't immediately claim the camera. You can always start PTP Camera up again after you finish using KStars or you can restart your system and it should start up again automatically. But yes, this dialog gives you the chance to quit the program so that you can actually connect with KStars.

Thanks for the info.

I just checked how it works. Each time I connect my Canon 700D DSLR to my mac the PTP program pops up in my activity monitor. So basically always shut down the PTP program before starting Ekos.

kind regards,
Gunther
