Importing selected images from a camera on a Mac
If you want to import all the images from a camera iPhoto it is real easy using iPhoto. Just follow the prompts when you connect your camera to the computer using a USB cable. When it comes to a picture that you have already downloaded, it asks if you want to download the duplicates and you can indicate whether or not you want to skip all duplicates. Downloading selected images If you want to get just the last couple of images off the camera, you can do it one of several ways. Image Capture The Image Capture application lets you select images to download from your camera. It does not automatically import them into iPhoto, but lets you put them in any folder of your choice. From there, you can import them into iPhoto or use any other software you like. Use Finder On most cameras, when you connect the camera to the Mac, a new volume is mounted. Open Finder and you can navigate through the folders and find the actual image files. From there, you can drag them to your files on the Mac. Again, this does not import them directly into iPhoto. Memory Card Some cameras store the pictures on memory cards. You can get a card reader to plug into your USB port and read the card from the camera with that - using either Import from iPhoto or Finder. You can purchase the card readers for between $20 & $30.

Mac Software Updates
Keep Software Updates Current Please help EIT by reminding the Mac Users in your office to keep their computer's software updates current. Our Help Desk often discovers pending software updates when they're helping someone resolve a problem. Often the updates contain bug fixes and feature enhancements that would stop the problems from occurring in the first place. So the next time that software update window opens on your desktop, please take the time to do the update. You'll be happy you did! Upgrade to Firefox 2 Have you added any software to your system yet? If not, here's a suggestion to start with. There is a wonderful, newer version of Firefox. Firefox 2 has an abundance of updated features, including a spell checker that works within web based forms, including the county web site application! Read about the new features and download the update from: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features.html Here are the installation instructions: 1) Download Firefox from the above web site 2) Quit your current version of Firefox, if it's running 3) Double-click on the disk image (.dmg icon) to run it 4) Drag the Firefox icon to your Applications folder 5) Replace the older version with the newer one 6) Drag the disk image and disk icon files to the trash If you have any questions, please contact your IM Agent or call the CES Help Desk at 919-513-7000 or email ces_help@ncsu.edu.
