robert_hooper1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 <p>Can you download images directly to a MacBook 13 via USB cord without installing Nikon software? I have read that the computer will not recognize the D90 as a hard drive like most other Nikon bodies without installing the accompanying software.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_fassman Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 <p>image capture can be set to open Aperture or iPhoto, or any app you use, as the default image app. The Nikon sw is a demo for the Nikon app, which is extra cost.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohanmike Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 <p>Yes, iPhoto (free with your Mac) will import directly from the camera. First launch iPhoto, then click the iPhoto menu, choose Preferences, click the General icon, then choose iPhoto in the Open with choice.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_hooper1 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 <p>Thanks folks. That is a few more steps than the auto launch of iPhoto after plug in of a Nikon body I'm used to, but at least I won't have to install Nikon software. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_waddell Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 <p>I have a MacBook Pro and a D90, and previously used iPhoto and now use Aperture without any problem importing from the camera. However, I take the SD card out and use a card reader plugged into the MBP to import the images.</p> <p>Works like a charm!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
