When I plug my Canon Digital Rebel XTi into my MacBook, nothing comes up to let me transfer my photos from my CF card to my computer. I also have an Olympus E-500, but I have no problems transferring photos from my Olympus to my MacBook. When I put the CF card in my Olympus, everything works just fine, but when I try to transfer from my XTi, nothing happens when the camera is plugged into the computer.
Can someone please tell me what I should do to be able to transfer directly from my XTi? Try opening iPhoto/Aperture and see what options for import are available. You may just need to seek out the camera. If the camera doesn't show up as a device plugged in, that may be an issue. Point and shoot cameras need to be on the 'review/play' setting. Not true for DSLRs however.
Sometimes, and this sounds weird, USB devices need to have some force in how you plug them in. For example, you can often plug in a USB flash drive slowly and the computer won't see it. Plug it in quickly and it is recognized.
Maybe try unplugging and quickly/forcefully replugging the USB cable.
All of us Nikon fans are going to say 'D40x', of course; and all of the Canon fans are going to say 'XTi'. I think you would benefit by going to a camera store and holding both, seeing which set of controls feel 'right', etc. They are both great cameras. If you go Nikon, and you don't think you'll be buying additional lenses for a while - I'd suggest you look at the D40x package that comes with the 18-135mm lens rather than the 18-55mm, which I think is the default. But definitely, whichever way you go, get a lens that is 18mm at the wide end.

This is the equivalent of (roughly) 27mm on a film camera, which many/most people want available. Click to expand.Much better? I am a Canon shooter and comparing it to ISO 1600 images from my frenemy's D40x, it's pretty much a draw.
Comparing it to D40 is not entirely fair since D40 has 6 MP image sensor (vs. 10 MP on D40x and XTi). I will tell you this much, he much prefers D40x's grip and I much prefer XTi's less rubbery controls (donno what but D40's knobs feel cheap to me). But ergonomics is highly subjective so one needs to audition them both in person. There are number of reasons to choose XTi: better lens selection (especially in terms of focusing and image stabilizer), minimalist no nonsense UI with quicker access to important settings out-of-the-box (D40/D40x requires customizing to change ISO speed with 1-click for instance), 9-point auto focus, self image sensor cleaner, RAW+high JPEG option (IMO, D40x's RAW+BASIC is useless), and generally faster operation to name a few. Of course, D40x has sufficient number of lenses to choose from (although they tend to be more expensive), better kit lens options, better grip, better metering, etc.
Frankly, I think D40 is a better choice than D40x. Do you really need 10 MP? The price difference may buy you a better lens and/or other accessories and unless you are heavily into cropping or very large prints, all you will get are larger file sizes. All I can do is echo the sentiment here - go to a store and handle them. Shoot some test photos. A month ago I walked into our local camera store intent on buying a Rebel XTI and walked out with a Nikon D80 - In my case, after playing with the different options, the Nikon felt much better in my hands, I liked its low light focus better, and I thought it had a significantly better kit lens (the 18 - 70). And yes, I know XTI - D80 is an upsell, that's the danger of actually playing with them Its very much personal feel - I'm sure that had I bought the same level Canon my pictures would be just as good (or bad.).

It DOES have a cheaper feel than the rest, but the images that come out of that camera are quite good. A while ago, when I was looking at getting a DSLR, I was also set on getting a Canon (so far my family has owned 5-6 Canon point and shoots), but the Nikon D50 simply felt better in my hand.
It wasn't just the uncomfortably small size of the grip on the Canon Digital Rebel line that I didn't like. It just had a lower quality 'feel' to it. I get the same thing when holding a Canon 30D and the Canon XTi. The 30D feels like a 'real' camera while the XTi feels like a fake knockoff that just happens to take really good photos. I went with Nikon because even at the low end, I didn't feel like I was getting a cheap toy. Admittedly though, The K100D feels better than the D40, and I'm sure the photo quality will be around the same as the Canon XTi and Nikon D40, particularly when shooting RAW.
