i want to put a few pictures back onto my cameras memory chip that i have on my computer how can i do this?
 
i have a Canon SD1000 and when i plug it in only iPhoto shows thats its connected there is no image created on my desktop
 
All Canons in the last few years use a method for file transfer that means they do not show up as removable disks. You need to use a memory card reader...
 
If Bluetooth is supported on your camera, setup your Mac and camera to talk to each other wirelessly. People forget Bluetooth is bi-directional so you can "browse" each device independently and put/send files between each. Just another way of doing it, slower than Firewire, but it's an idea.

That depends on the device: it has to implement the correct profile. Even if the device has flash storage there is no guarantee that this is possible: see the iPhone for example...
