[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1041088, member: 59143"] First off, do yourself a favor and get a card reader. SanDisk makes a great multicard reader for about $20 It's a 12 in one reader and has served me well for a long time. If you want to do yourself a bigger favor, spend a bit more and get an Firewire 400/800 CF card reader for about $60: [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/446772-REG/SanDisk_SDDRX4_CF_901_Extreme_FireWire_CompactFlash_Card.html]SanDisk | Extreme FireWire CompactFlash Card | SDDRX4-CF-901[/url] Secondly, don't use iPhoto for that. OS X has a wonderful app built right in called "Image Capture". Make sure that iPhoto isn't associated with your camera when you plug it in. Your camera should simply mount as a drive. But you might need to go into your camera's menu system and set it to mount as "MSC" which is mass storage, and not MTP. Then, hook up your camera (or card reader) and open up Image Capture. It's a very self explanatory program, so twiddle around in it for a bit and get familiar. You can set it to open every time you hook up a card reader or camera if you wish, and can tell it to put things in whatever directory you choose. I haven't used it in a long time because I use Lightroom, but it was very good for the times I needed to simply arrange photos and folders within Finder. doug [/QUOTE]
