Mac OS X Server 10.3: Managed Client - iPhoto, Image Capture can‘t find a connected camera

Learn what to do if iPhoto or Image Capture can't seem to find (or import from) a camera when you manage access to applications with Mac OS X Server 10.3's Workgroup manager.
This can happen when managing access to applications with Workgroup Manager. Don't worry. A few easy steps will take care of this:
  1. Open Workgroup Manager (/Applications/Server).
  2. Select the user account, group, or computer list you wish to edit.
  3. Click Preferences, then Applications.
  4. Allow all of the items in /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/.



  5. Enable the "Allow approved applications to launch nonapproved applications" option.
  6. Enable the "Allow UNIX tools to run" option.

The account you selected in step 2 above should now be able to use iPhoto or Image Capture to import photos from the camera. Repeat the steps for other accounts, if needed.
