Lost EZ Share photos

Ok, finally got back to this: imported pictures again. same thing happened.

All I'm doing is hooking the camera to the Kodak cable and telling it to "share." The pix all go into iphoto and show on the screen. But after it finishes all of them, they disappear. So, I don't know if the problem is the camera or the 'puter...or the person doing the importing.

Pictures from PhotoBooth do not normally, by default that is, go into iPhoto.
From your use of the term "telling it to share" I think that you are not using iPhoto but are using the Kodak software that came with the camera. Use of this software is not necessary to get your pictures onto your Mac.

Do this:
Launch iPhoto. (NOT the Kodak picture software)
Go to iPhoto Preferences (Menu bar > iPhoto > Preferences)
Under the General Tab, make sure that the option "Connecting camera opens" is set for iPhoto.
If it is not, then change it by using the drop down menu.
Close preferences
Quit iPhoto.

Connect the camera and iPhoto should launch, detect the camera and go to the import screen. It should also show you all the pictures on the camera.
Click Import All (or just Import) and allow the camera and iPhoto to do it's thing. Once finished DO NOT delete the pictures from the camera.
In iPhoto, in the left hand pane, click on Events (Pictures if you have an old version) and you should see all the just imported pictures.
You will also see them under "Last import"

Do the above and let us know how you got on.

Sounded good. Tried it. Same result.

The camera is called an "EZ Share" and supposedly, all you have to do is hit the "share" button, and the pix get loaded. This time, I followed your instructions, hooked the camera up to the Mac, and turned on the camera and waited. Same thing. The pix all downloaded, then poof, gone.

Did iPhoto launch?
If it did, and you imported the pictures into iPhoto using the Import button and NOT the SHARE button, then the pictures should be/are in iPhoto.

Where is this "share" button and did you use it this time?

Yes, iphoto launched. The "share" button is on the camera. I didn't use it this time.

The photos went into iphoto, just like they did the other times. It showed all of the pix as it was loading, and showed a # of # running tab as they loaded. Then, when it was all completed, they disappeared. I'm going to contact Kodak, but that takes time and is a hassle.
