Difficulty in transferring photos from camera

Since the last software update, why can I no longer upload images from my digital camera to my Macbook using Iphoto ? The laptop does no seem to recognise the camera or memory card.

Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there.  If it works then reboot normally and try again.
If those fail you can use a card reader to upload the photos from the memory card or use Image Capture with the camera connected to the Mac.
Don't let iPhoto delete the photos from the card.  Always do that with the camera.  This avoids loosing photos if the upload to iPhoto goes south.

  • Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why

    Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why?  This happens only on a 5 year old iMac running 10.6.8.  It is a recent developmemt.  All other machines have no problen with the same card.

    I click on the send feedback everytime it pops up with the force quit, so they'er getting it.
    That sends a crash report. Its doubtful that these are ever seen by a human being, but more likely datamined. Sending feedback reaches an actual person.
    My guess from yourdescription is that the portion of the OS (note, OS, not iPhoto) that manages the importing process is what's crashing.

  • Transferring photos from camera with nano?

    I understand that current accessories do not yet exist to transfer pictures directly from a camera for the nano. Does anyone know if Apple or a third party plans to develop something in the next few weeks?
    Message was edited by: MisterSeth

    Apple does make an iPod Camera Connector, but it's not compatible with any generation of the iPod nano. This is a user-to-user forum, none of us work for Apple. We have no idea what they have planned and it's against the Terms of Use to speculate about their plans. However, the iPod nano has been a model for some time now and no camera connector has yet be made for them.
    I might suggest you send Apple some iPod nano feedback and request an adapter:

  • Transferring photos from camera to pc

    I've just got new N95 and the user guide doesn't seem to cover subject. I have tried via my previous (6600) phone's Bluetooth also infrared with the same result. Is there help out there for someone clearly the opposite to a technophobe ?

    There's many different ways you can get the pictures from the N95 to the PC.
    It all depends on which memory you are using to store the pictures.
    In all cases you can use PC Suite to tranfer (but it's slower method). Connect the device to the PC Using PC Suite then Use the PC Suite File Browser to locate the pictures, now just select the pictures and copy to your location.
    If the pictures are in the memory card, You can connect the N95 using File Transfer (mass storage) mode USB to the PC now it will be just like another Hard Disk. Open the File Explorer in Windows and manage your files.
    You can still use IrDA also to beam the pictures using infrared. Open the gallery locate the picture then select Options->Send then infrared. You must have Infrared active in your PC and ready to receive files, this depends on your computer so contact your computer provider.
    You can also Bluetooth the files, use the same method as infrared only have your PC Bluetooth ready to take the files. Or set-up your PC Bluetooth to use OBEX File Transfer. You need to first pair your device to your computer for instructions follow your PC Bluetooth client or contact your PC manufacturer.
    You can also email your pictures or MMS them.
    You can post them to flickr or Facebook directly from the N95 and access them via your PC.
    ETC. ETC. ETC.

  • Transferring photos from ipod photo to mac

    i've transferred photos from camera to ipod using apples cammera connector. how do i now get these onto my powerbook? I've done this before, but have forgotten.
    thanks,
    richard

    An iPod nano is not a camera, so you can't do that with iPhoto. 
    There is a setting that relates to your question.  Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Photos tab.  There is a checkbox there, that says Include full-resolution photos.  If that setting was checked WHEN you synced the photos to your iPod, then the iPod will have a copy of photo files at full-resolution.  To retrieve them, Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab.  Open the iPod's storage as a "disk," and look for the image files in Photos folder.
    If that setting was NOT already checked, then the iPod only has a low-resolution database of "thumbnails" instead of the photos; they are optimized to fit the very small screen on the nano (and save storage space).  They are not in a format that can be used directly on a computer.  There may be third-party utilities that can retrieve the images as individual files, but they would look terrible blown up to computer screen size.  The way they are converted and stored on the iPod, each image is only meant to look decent on the iPod's tiny screen.

  • I transferred photos from my camera to my computer and created a burn folder.  I recorded the burn folder on a DVD but it will not play on my DVD player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I transferred photos from my camera to  burn folder on my macbook Pro.  Made a DVD from the burn folder but it will not play on my DVD player.  What am I doing wrong?

    How did you do this burn? Did you use a program like iDVD?  A DVD player requires that the data on the DVD is recorded in the proper format: MPEG-2.  A program like iDVD will do this.  There are other programs available that can do the proper coding (Roxio 'Toast' for example), but iDVD has the most features and is easy to use.  It is no longer available from Apple, but if you search on Amazon, you can find 'iLife 11', a suite of programs including iDVD.  It will function properly on Apple's current operating system, but it cannot make a High-Definition (Blue-Ray) presentation.  It is Standard Definition only, as are all regular DVD's. One good way to present photos on a TV is to make a slidesow in iPhoto, then export that slideshow to iDVD, where it will be properly formatted for a DVD player.  Or, iDVD can make its own slideshow of up to 99 photos.  HTH.

  • Can't open transferred photos in camera roll

    I transferred photos from my old 4s to 5s using backup/restore but although I can see the transferred photos as thumbnails in camera roll, I can't open them or do anything with them. The photo simply opens for a second then disappears. This only happens with transferred photos not those taken with the 5s. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same thing as well. I click the photos app, I try view the photos I have taken, it just closed out of the photos app and goes straight back to the home screen. There is another way to see the photos you have taken. You click on the camera, then you click on the photos on the bottom left corner, it works for me. I can see all the pictures I have taken.
    I've been having problems with my camera, whenever I take a picture (with/without flash) my photos turn out black, was wondering if anyone can help us out about this problem.

  • Having troubles transferring photos from my Iphone 4s to my computer

    I can't transfer photos/videos from my iphone 4s to my computer since the computer won't recognize the phone as I plug it in. I tried to install new drivers but only tells me that all my drivers are up to date. I cant recall having this problem until I switched to Windows 7. I also tried reading these forums and others for a solution but I have this far been unable to find one. Is there anyone else out there having this problem?
    I also seem to have exactly the same problem with transferring photos from my digital camera.

    Hello there Philipfromswe.!     Philipfromswe
    Thanks for replying to my question! You mentioned that it might be a problem with my computer, what do you mean by that? Is it the hardware, i.e loose cables and such or is it the software that you refering to?
    Great suggestion that I should use Dropbox to transfer my pictures. I already have Dropbox and I have used it to make copies. The problem is that I find the app troublesome to use and I much rather prefer that I can acess the photos as I did before.
    I will continue to try to find an solution to my connectivity problems but I appreaciate your advice!

  • Update on transferring photos from Droid to iPhone

    I'd like to share some information on transferring photos from an old Droid to iPhone 5, a problem I've wrestled with for the last few days.  Even though I got some good tips, and have learned that I'm not the only person with this particular problem, I still had no success making the transfer.  In desperation (thinking I'd get no help) I called 1-800-734-5870, the Motorola help line.  Was bumped up to "level 2" of problem-solving and was told that a possible solution might be to use a USB connector cord specifically made for Motorola phones (I'm not sure the one I've been using is that type).  The rep is sending me a courtesy cord to use to see if that will make a difference -- if no, t I'm supposed to call Motorola back.  My point is that the Motorola people were exceptionally nice, especially considering I'll no longer be using their phone.  I did not get this type of support from the Apple help line.  Will send an update if this simple "cord fix" works!

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Roaminggnome.  I have to say, though, that the answer, while not unexpected, is disappointing.  The iPhone is, like the iPad, a data storage device as well as a cellular phone.  One can store and retrieve music, contacts, documents, presentations in Keynote, videos, podcasts, and a host of things on it.  And one can also store photos, which can be transferred from a digital camera or media card via a computer or iCloud.  So why, one has to wonder, would Apple not provide an alternative, and more direct, way to upload pictures from a camera without requiring the intermediary of a computer, as it does with the iPad?  But I guess that's what we're stuck with.  Puzzling, for a company as innovative as Apple.  Surely they know that folks are asking these questions.

  • Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto

    when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?

    It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
    But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

  • I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

    I had created two photo albums on my ipad, by transferring photos from my hp laptop. I want to make space available on my ipad by deleting these photos, but the same hp laptop is no more with me. How do I delete these photos?

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • Transferring photos from IPhone to PC

    I am attempting to transfer photos from my IPhone to my PC and am having difficulties with pictures that I uploaded to the phone. All of the pics that were in my "Camera Roll" file transferred with no problems. However, the photos that are in two other "albums" will not transfer. My photo software does not recognize the existence of the other albums and therefore will not transfer the photos. I have tried emailing the photos and that doesn't work either. There are some photos on the phone that I don't have anywhere else (due to a computer crash some months ago) and I really want to be able to download them to my computer. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi i wonder if anyone is experiencing the same problems i am having transfereing photos from the 3Gs to a PC. I have plugged the cable in via the usb and the scanner and camera wizard pops up (sometimes), but when you open the advanced user tab there are no photos showing in the window. I have been on to Apple and they have no idea at precent why this is. My mate also has the same problem on a MAC and a PC running XP. The photos are there but i can get them off my phone to a file. ITunes picks up the phone no problem??????

  • I can't send photos from camera roll iphone4 to a email address. It just stopped sending photos.

    i can't send photos from camera roll iphone4 to a email address. It just stopped sending photos.

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    It's only difficult if you get all emotional over tiny things and don't stop to look for answers first. I find Macs very simple to use.

  • Emailing multiple photos from camera roll

    Search threads but didn't find. Can multiple photos from camera roll be sent in an email on the iPhone 4

    In round about way yes.
    Go to photos.
    In thumbnail view click menu item (think moved to top right in iOS4) to enable multiselect.
    Select photos (up to 5 ... sorta) and then you can click share.
    The sorta part is that if you do more than 5 the share will go away, but you can still select more, then choose copy, then go open email and paste in more than 5.
