Thanks for your response and your report that Tiger works properly with Classic on your computer. I wish I knew how to make Classic on my iMac G5 work under Tiger as well as your G4 does. Since writing my first message to this group, I tried the "Change All" command; I only succeeded in making all of my text files created by BBEdit Lite appear now as TextEdit files. Several years ago I found that I could restore the Creator Application as the Opening Application by replacing the preference file com.apple.LaunchServices.plist with an older version of the same file. That remedy worked again today. Without my knowing why, the camera import problem has now disappeared. I can now use Image Capture or iPhoto or Canon's CameraWindow -- they all work properly. All I did was to install the version of Mac OS X 10.4.2 (the original system that came with the iMac G5) on a bootable external FireWire drive, and later booted up with that drive to test the installation. I don't see how this could have affected the system on my computer's internal HD, but it apparently did. So at the moment I seem to be back to where I was before I sent my original message. I hope my system stays in good condition from now on. Thanks to all who made suggestions. I haven't had time, with all the system installations, research, and attempts at repair, to read the iMac list for the past three days, but I hope to catch up next week.
