I just upgraded to Snow Leopard last week and I am still having growing pains.
When I plug in my camera I expect that it will show up on the desktop. (Like a hard drive shows up.) I expect that I will be able to interact with the media on the camera.
Unfortunately the camera does not show up on the desktop. I Can get the photos through iPhoto, but this is not what I always want to do.
(My camera is a Canon PowerShot A480. I am connecting it to the computer with a USB plug.)
How can I make my camera show up on the desktop like a USB stick or external hard drive?
Has it worked like this for you before? I've never seen that work with any of my Canon cameras. You could always use "Image Capture" and disable iPhoto from automatically starting. It's much more lightweight than iPhoto. – EmmEff – 2010-11-10T03:25:41.127
My old camera used to show up on the desktop before I upgraded to snow leopard. Changing two variables here so isolating the problem is a little bit tricky. – sixtyfootersdude – 2010-11-10T11:51:49.667
Use Image Capture in Applications. No need for iPhoto. – None – 2010-12-05T19:50:59.417
