Mac's don't need a driver to recognize the camera however they usually need a specific program for different brands of photos. You can also try opening up iPhoto as that will usually recognize the camera. If iPhoto doesn't work and you don't want to install a new program you can also get a card reader that'll connect via USB and will avoid needing any program to transfer photos.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.
SOURCE: How do I import videos
When you inserted the memory card your computer added an icon on the desktop, near the upper right corner, for the memory card.
Double-click the memory card and look for a folder labeled MISC.
You'll find the videos in this location.

Hi,yes you are right ,sometimes updating causes such problem..
Unless you cancel the update and continue to use previous version of i-photo ,I have another solution to finalize such picture downloading issues.
WHY DON'T YOU USE "A Memory CARD READER" THAT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR
MEMORY CARD..If your MacBook is newest model it should have "Card Reader" if not you can but an External one .IT
IS ABOUT 5.00-7.00 $..WITH THAT CARD READER-WRITER YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU NEED ..THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO DOWNLOAD YOUR PHOTOS/VIDEOS to PC ..
No more recognizing problem during downloading....
