My understanding is that iPhoto can be set, in fact defaults, to opening whenever a camera is attached to a USB port (I don't have a digital camera and thus have no direct experience). It can also download the photo files. It is entirely possible, of course, that the iBook and Nikon don't play well together. Steve W.
