Can I run a Floppy drive to transfer photos from old floppies

I have some photos that where professionally placed on 3.5 floppys. Can I purchase a inexpensive USB floppy drive ("mac compatible") and transfer these photos to my iMac 10.8.2 to create CD's?
thanx in advance
David

It should be possible. The trick will be finding the floppy drive. Google usb floppy drive os x to see what is out there.
good luck

You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
BTW this is the iPod touch forum.

For windows users, best way to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone

I have a friend who just purchased new iphone and she'd like to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone.
What is the best steps for her to take?
She has a Windows machine.
thanks in advance!!!

Make sure iTunes is loaded on the PC
If all she wants are photos, she has to have the photos on her PC, not just on the old phone. The old iPhone backup doesn't save the actual photos, just the setting pointing to where the photos came from.
If the photos are on her PC, your should be able to sync them to the new iPhone with the Photos tab in iTunes (after the new phone is plugged in).
If the photos aren't on her computer, she can copy them from whatever computer has them (assuming she has access to it).

who to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone5 with out the Itunes Backup

Welcome to the Apple community.
It would be far simpler if you did it through iTunes, however it can be done otherwise.
You need to add all your old photos to your photo stream, which will then sync them to Photo stream on your new device, you can then move them from your photo stream album to your camera roll.

What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

Biron 64 Hello, can you help me? I want transfer photos from PC to i Pad?

Biron 64,
Hello,
Je voudrais transférer des photos de mon PC sur mon iPad,
Merci de me donner la marche à suivre

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I transfer photos to new iPad from old iPad ?

Pad2Mac can do this if you have a Mac based system... not sure they've updated they Windows variant to have this feature.
I had to pull my GF's dad's music off his iPad and wonder worked wonderfully
Obviously, this is if you no longer have a backup of your songs or whatever. Enjoy

HT4623 How do I transfer photos from old iPad to iPad 2?

I have an old iPad without icloud

If you use iPhoto on your iPads, that can transfer photos between devices.
There are also dedicated photo transfer apps in the App Store. One example of such that I have used is PhotoSync.

How do i transfer photos from old iPhone to my pc

I would like to transfer my photos from my old iphone to my pc.

Thank you kindly for your reply. I have read more info about this procedure and need to add to my post. Transfering pictures as you mentioned above works for pics taken with the iPhone under the camera roll folder. That does not work for photos in the folder the photo library.
I took synched photos from an old computer to my phone and then sadly lost all the photos from the computer (the computer is gone...long story). I am trying to get the photos from the photo library not the camera roll.
The above procedure only works for the roll not the library.
I just read on an apple site that you cannot transfer photos where the source was from another computer to your iPhone then back to another computer.

Can I transfer photos from old macbook to iMac and put all photos on a new external drive without losing any photos?

Had to purchase new Macbook so all devices could sync with Yosemite. I use iMAC and Macbook with iPhone, etc. I have many photos over years and do scrapbooking. I want to preserve my pix on an external hard drive and organize them. I am currently using external drive on iMAC and a separate one on Macbook that is outdated. I use them with TM for backup. Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage? I am confused about backup not preserving my photos. Help please me transfer and save my pix and properly set up my external for access. Thanks a bunch!

connie,
I assume you are storing your photos in an iPhoto library, since you are asking in the iPhoto forum?
if you want to store your iPhoto library on an external drive and keep them safe, you need two external drives. One drive to store the working copy of the photo library, that you are using to work with your photos, and one drive for time machine to make back copies of your iPhoto library.

You could simply plug your new drive into the MacBook and copy the library from the old drive to the new. Then connect the new drive to your iMac and use the iPhoto library there.
Make sure, your new drive has the correct file system - MacOS Extended (Journaled) . See this link: iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives

Can I use flash drives to transfer data from one MBP to another at a differ

I've looked and cannot find any info on the use of flash drives. Can I use a flash drive to transfer data from one MBP to another one at a different location? (ie; school Apple and home MBP) Grade tests and papers at home, enter data into home computer, then put it on flash drive and carry flash drive to school, transferring data to school desk top? Are certain flash drives preferrable over others, name brands, size, etc?

Yep, you sure can. Just about any drive will work as mentioned above. But I'm partial to SanDisk and PNY. I've used both and they work great! Currently I carry both a 2GB SanDisk Micro Cruzer and a retractable 2GB SanDisk Cruzer, both really nice. Replaced my oldie but goodie 256MB PNY drive that I've been using since they first came out.
