Connect the camera with a USB cable to the USB port on your mac. After a few moments an icon should appear on your desktop or in the volumes folder with the name of your camera's storage disk. If you want to copy the photos to a folder in the finder, simply open the volume and click through the folders to find the photos. You can then drag the ones you want to your hard drive.

If you want to import the photos to your iPhoto library, open iPhoto and connect the camera if it is not already connected. Wait a few moments for the camera to mount. You should see the camera in the sidebar in iPhoto. Click on it, and select the option to import the photos.

First, you'll need a wire that connects the camera with the USB port, or a device that has an insert for the memory card for the camera that connects it to the USB port in the computer. Then, you must open up iPhoto. iPhoto will automatically recognize it after loading the pictures you already have stored in there. It will say 'ready to import (insert number here) items' and then you allow it to proceed, and it will load the pictures and save it into iPhoto.
