When i connect my flip cam to my macbook pro, iphoto opens. I do not see FlipShare.

Is driver working, to your download site on your computer

You should have iPhoto on your MacBook Pro. It will download your photos. Open iPhoto and check the preferences where you can select iPhoto to launch when you plug in your camera.

Having gone over three months without a reply to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

connect the camer aand close flipshare if it opened, connect the open the camera as a drive (in my computer on windows, or on the desktop in mac os) and copy the DCIM Folder somewhere you can find it, disconnect the camera, open flipshare, click help, Recover other flipshare files, and choose the dcim directory you copied to the computer(if the video files are in a subfolder, choose that instead)

call apple support

On Windows, if you change your library location and then uninstall and re-install FlipShare, FlipShare will not remember where you changed your library location to and will create a new library in the default My Documents location. To restore contents of your library you should shutdown FlipShare, delete the 'FlipShare.db' file located in the 'My Documents>My Videos>FlipShare Data>' folder, re-launch FlipShare, select the option to 'Browse' for you library and select the location of your library. On the Mac, FlipShare will remember where you changed your library location to.
Or go into controll panel and remove from there

Have the same problem with my Flip Ultra HD on my MacPro! Who can solve the problem??

I think you might need to reinstall iPhoto (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1561?viewlocale=en_US).  You should back up your computer, including any photos, before doing this.
