to save you the trouble of having to edit preferences with iChat... you should be able to set up multiple users on your machine. go to your system preferences and click on accounts (on the bottom left)
yup. iPhoto <i>should</i> auto-recognize your camera when it's plugged in. if not, you should be able to
here's what iPhoto help says:
You can import photos from a digital camera if both your computer and your camera have built-in Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports and your camera is compatible with iPhoto. To see a list of cameras that are compatible with iPhoto, visit the iPhoto website.
To import photos from a digital camera:
1.
Connect your camera to your computer using a USB cable. To learn more about connecting a digital camera to your computer, click "Tell me more."
IMPORTANT: If your camera has a "sleep" mode, make sure it is disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download. For more information, see the instructions that came with your camera.
As soon as your camera is connected, iPhoto switches to import mode and your camera appears in the Source list.
If nothing happens when you connect your camera, check your camera to see if it's turned on and set to the correct mode. For which mode to choose, see the instructions provided with your camera.
2.
Type a roll name for the group of photos you're importing in the Roll Name field.
3.
Type a description for the group of photos in the Description field.
4.
If you want to delete photos from your camera as soon as they are imported, select the "Delete items from camera after importing" checkbox.
3.
Click the Import button.
To cancel photo transfer at any time during your import, click Stop Import.
IMPORTANT: Wait until all photos have been transferred into iPhoto or click Stop Import before disconnecting your camera. If your camera has a "sleep" mode, make sure it is disabled or set to a time increment long enough to allow your images to download. For more information, see the instructions that came with your camera.
After you finish importing your photos, click the Eject button or drag the camera's icon from the Finder desktop to the Trash (if necessary), turn off your camera, and then disconnect it from your computer.
