Do I set the picture quality format in my Canon 60D menu or in Magic Lantern menu?
I want Raw + L settings and I think I have to set that in the Canon Settings

Thanks Peter

What speed card should I get for Video. SDHC 10 400? or just 200x?
Or San disk exteme pro ?

Okay I've got it working. My son thought the reader was old and used his iMac to transfer the 2.3 version to the SD card.
Easy to install.
Thanks  Peter

I can see the icon in Disk Utility on Snow Leopard, this is the info I have

I followed official instructions and got this when I installed my exter reader plug into my Mac Tower

The disk inserted was not readable by this computer
Initialize - Ignore - Eject

I tried on Snow Leopard  same problem

Maybe its the external reader

Thanks , I have portable card reader.
So when you put yours into the Mac you don't have to initialize,maybe that's a mountain lion thingy
Ill try leopard

Hi Francis. thanks for replying so fast.
I did a low level format as per the YouTube videos suggest on my 60D.
But when I put the card into my my MAC it requires that I initialize the card first on the Mac.
So I cant transfer till I initialize, what do I do?
Im using Mountain Lion
I found this info

It would be great to be able to connect the camera to the Mac and transfer and install rather than putting the card in the Mac to install.
Thanks
Peter

Hi still learning how to install MagicLantern
When I insert my SD card into my Mac it says. 'SD Card initialize?
Will that screw up my install on the Canon if I initialize the SD card?
ALSO
The card is class 6 100x Lexar platinum 6 Is that ok for video using ML v2.3
ALSO
Do I need to copy all those files including PDFs
Thanks
Peter
PS Is it better to install on Leopard or MountainLion 10.8.3

Somebody told me that once the camera was shut down I would have to reinstall again.
Sounds crazy, tell me that aint so?
Thanks Peter

Thanks for the info
Im not sure how Im going to transfer ML files to the reader, Im going to unzip and put into DropBox. I will try to drag the folder over the card.
Sounds like the card reader is the cheapest way and easier on the brain

I have a card reader that works with an iPad.
I have a SDHC 16 gig card 100x
Thanks
Peter

Hi I have a MAC tower and no SD slot. Can I use an iPad to install ML software on a SDcard?
I assumed I would just connect the camera to the tower by cable and no SD Card, further research on YouTube video suggests using a laptop.
Need a little clarification on install instructions using SD cards. Also is the software Mac compatible? this should be mentioned in the instructions.
Thanks
Peter

Hi there! Is a SATECHI WTR C1 model Compatible with ML software for a Canon 60D?
Its a wireless Digital timer remote control, no wires.
Before I try the ML software I thought I had better ask.
Thanks
Peter
