TIP if you go to preferences on image capture or iPhoto you have an option to set the imagecapture as the default application to handle images in the future.Plug the card reader into the USB port on the side, back or front of the computer (depending on the type of Mac). If you don't have a card reader plug your camera in directly instead.

Do not unplug your camera until you have done the following !

Once images are downloaded, choose Quit from the Image Capture menu.

If you have a white box icon on your desktop (fig.2) you need to Eject that as well - ctrl-click on the white box and select Eject "NAME OF YOUR CARD" (fig.3) or just drag icon to the trash.

If you do not do this, your memory card can get damaged !
