Does your camera have a menu where you can select how it should operate when it is plugged in? My Photosmart has an option where it can either operate as a flash drive (for accessibility in the Finder) or just as a digital camera (just for iPhoto to open it).
If not, do you have a USB SD card reader? That may be a work around for your problem. :) Matt On Nov 9, 2007, at 10:51 AM, R. D.
