I have a Canon Powershot S500.
I'd like for it to appear on my desktop as a disk (my old camera did this) so that i can retrieve movies I've shot with it.
However, everytime I connect it to my computer, it opens iPhoto and nothing else.
For the life of me though, I can't remember where to tell the computer how to handle a camera when connected...so help me out please.
thanks

I think whether the camera mounts or not is related to the type of memory card. My olympus mounts but my (girlfriend's) cannon does not. However, the cannon came with a lot of software and everything you need to get the images and movies as well as stitch together panoramas was there on a CD with OS X versions of the software.

yeah the thing is I'm at school, and those CD's are at home. And it's not software you can download from the Canon website. So, back to my original question: is there any way to mount a camera as a disk?

Not sure about mounting it, but you can retrieve movies with Image Capture - use the Download Some button to browse the files on the camera - (should already be in your Applications folder). Also from the Image Capture preferences, you can set what OS X does when a camera is attached, if you do not want iPhoto to open automatically.

Beautiful. Thanks, I knew it had to be there somewhere...
