Do you have a memory card reader? Or, can you borrow one from a friend? I would try that and see if the card mounts in OS X. If it does, maybe try a different USB cable for your camera. If not, it could be a problem with your card. Try a different card, and plug in your camera to your macbook and see what happens.
I highly recommend getting a cheap USB SD card reader instead of always connecting your camera-- much easier. Although, if your card is on the fritz it won't help.
i did all of above but it still wont read it. anyway thank you very much i will buy a a new card reader cus the one i have stoped working too.
Maybe there is something wrong with the USB port? Did you try plugging everything in some other USB port?
Hi everyone!
I also have a Nikon D3000 and a macbook,
For me the solution is to use aperture (or iphoto)
And going to:
Preferences> Import> 'when a camera is connected, Open:'
Then choosing iphoto, aperture etc.
If it does not work strait away I leave my 3000 connected by usb + on, then restart and open aperture and the photos are there!
Hopefully this works for you!
(it's basically trial and error or a restart solution, it never seems to be too long before the two talk to each other
)

For these situations and others, Image Capture is your friend. It will recognize cameras that other apps wont and allow you to download. Iphone too. Then you can set it to recognize, which will bring it up in Aperture etc...
