Hi,

That's the wrong serial port for a D6i. That is the old D6 cable, and the two are not compatible. This is explained on the main page of the help.

I would check Preferences -> Advanced and make sure you do not have that serial port set. Try clicking Scan for Serial Port, and choosing the right one (if you have the right cable).

Make sure you do not have another cable plugged in to another USB port.

Hi,

I read the main page of the help, but this is an original cable sold by Suuntowith my D6i.
This is the only cable connected at my MBA.
My problem is random
