    What camera are you using - does it work in other accounts? When you insert a camera it should appear on the desktop - my EOS 350D doesn't but it appears in the list in image capture.

    It works on my admin account and accounts with no limitations, the camera is a kodak C340, it doesn't mount on the desktop

    Have you disabled external drives on the account?

    Forgive my ignorance but I didn't think you could do this on the stand-alone 10.3.9 I thought this option was for server workgroups only, I don't think I have cause people are able to use there little USB flash disc fine. But where would I find this option just to make sure?

    Each user has its own prefs for each app - do you have "open iPhoto when camera connected" set in IMAGE CAPTURE Prefs for that user?

    But the camera should appear on the desktop anyway.

    sorry I should have said that image capture doesn't see the camera either

    Some cameras have an option to change between a USB drive, or PictBridge support I think. Check which your Kodak is set to.

    maybe try using the firewire port instead of the usb? I was confused because this happened to me with a video camera. But I'm not very good with computers. But maybe its worth a try.

    There's either a problem with managed accounts or you've disabled something vital to the process. I'm not sure which one it could be.
