CAN'T Open iPhoto

Can you open iPhoto the normal way by clicking it in the dock? If so then just drag and drop the photos from the camera into iPhoto.

Hope this helps

I can't open iPhoto from the dock, or from Apps. I can't get my pics off my camera because nothing happens when I try to unload them from my camera. It acts like it's already open, but I can't see it anywhere.

Yipeeeee
I just figured it out. Somehow it had been tucked down clear off the desk top and almost out of sight. I happened to see the very edge of iPhoto down next to my Dock. Thank goodness I didn't have to re-install. Thanks guys for the quick. I hope this short thread might help someone else who makes this mistake.

MontanaMac: if you are keeping actual applications on your desktop, you are Asking For Trouble.

Put iPhoto back where it belongs -- the Applications folder -- and drag it from there to the Dock to create an alias of iPhoto. Launch iPhoto from the dock.

The NORMAL procedure for cameras to import to iPhoto is to simply plug the camera or card reader in. iPhoto would then launch automatically, read the card and ask if you want to import some or all of the available pictures. Unless you've deliberately turned this off, that's how it is supposed to work.

EDIT: Ah, okay then.

I think he may be talking about an open iPhoto window rather than the app.

Yes, it was an iPhoto window open.
