Canon to apple

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to transfer photos directly fron my canon 7d to my apple desk top. I cant seem to open them unless I open them in lightroom.

Well, put your SD card in a card reader and then open Spotlight (cmd+spacebar) and type in : Image Capture. If you want to manually manage your photos, this built in application will do the job nicely.
