Import photos from SD card into iPhoto

Santa gave my wife a new camera for Christmas and I am trying to load photos from the SD card using the SanDISK MicroMate (plugs into USB port) that came with the card. My daughter also got a camera, a Digital Blue Disney micro that uses a cable to attach to the USB port. Neither will show up in iPhoto, Image Capture, Windows Media Player, or in a finder window. Both do show up (with correct information as far as I can tell) in the Apple System Profiler. The Digital Blue website states that they do not have Mac software, but that Mac users can plug in to the USB and drag and drop as a "mass storage device". With our old camera, I used a compact flash (CF) with a compact flash reader that plugged into the USB port and never had any problems. The CF always showed up in iPhoto and the finder windows. Any ideas out there. I will probably be upgrading to a 2.4 GHz iMac soon, but would like to solve this before that happens. Thanks for your help.

The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

  • Cannot import photos from SD card into USB card reader after 10.4.10 update

    Prior to the 10.4.10 update, I used a USB media card reader to import photos from my Canon camera's SD card and it worked fine. I just tried to do that for the first time since I installed the 10.4.10 update, and now the memory card doesn't show up in iPhoto as a disk from which to import photos.
    I'm back to transferring pictures through the cable, which is a bit of a pain and a waste of a new media card reader. Is there a way to restore this ability to use the card reader?
    Note: I switched from Windows to Mac in February 2007, and except for having to hunt for media card readers that work with the Mac and a few kernel panics due, I think, to a problem with my Logitech mouse drivers, it's been pretty painless.
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   C2D 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive

    This problem is not generic to 10.4.10 -- but it is specific to Intel based Macs. I have the same problem with a Zynet 8-in-1 USB-2.0 card reader. It fails to mount on 10.4.10 Intel based Macs but works fine on 10.4.10 PPC macs (and on 10.3.9 PPC too)
    It is very annoying because connecting through my phone is very slow, especially when updating 2GB of MP3s.
    The reader, with card inserted, is recognized, but no storage media is seen and of course it does not mount as a disk device like it should:
    USB Storage Device:
    Version: 1.00
    Bus Power (mA): 500
    Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
    Manufacturer: Generic
    Product ID: 0x3260
    Serial Number: 20030903213338562
    Vendor ID: 0x0aec
    There are no relevant error messages.
    I hope Apple's reading these posts -- this sounds like a major, but all too common, FUBAR in the driver code. A fast fix would be very much appreciated!

  • Import photos from SD Card into a library with referenced masters

    I have the following problem:
    I would like to migrate from Aperture (that I used for the past couple of years) to Photos for OS X. (Well, let's say I feel kind of forced to  by Apple's decision to abandon Aperture and since I do not like to switch to Lightroom (which I fear will soon be available via Adobe's Cloud system!)). I successfully migrated my Aperture library to Photos. My library is a 'referenced library', i.e. a library where the original photos ('masters') are NOT inside the library but stored in a separate location. In my case the original photos are stored on a NAS. Photos recognizes all my photos and by right-clicking on a photo I can select the 'Show in Finder' option and Photos correctly shows then the location of the corresponding photo on the NAS. So far so good.
    The  problem arises when I want to import new photos from the camera (or its SD card). I plugin the SD card into the Mac and fire up Photos. Then I click on 'Import'. I do not succeed in importing the photos from the SD card in a way that the original files (masters) are copied to the NAS (the place where I keep my masters). In fact when I import then everything (also the master files) are copied into the library (which is located on the Mac's internal SSD.) This happens despite I have deselected "Copy objects into photo library" in the Photos app Preferences.
    (Another problem is that, with Aperture, I could import photos from the SD card in a way that the originals were copied to the NAS, renamed appropriately (e.g. <date>-<time>.JPG and put automatically in an Aperture-created folder structure (year/month/day). I fear that the only way to keep on working with 'referenced' masters will be by NOT using Photos' Import function directly for the import from the SD card, but first to copy 'manually' (using the Finder) the photos from the SD card to the NAS (after having created year, month, day folders manually) and then to use Photos Import function. Is this really the sad truth?
    Another problem is: When I delete a photo from the library, it will NOT be deleted from the masters! :-(
    Has anybody experienced the same problems?
    Cheers
    Rainer

  • Importing photos from old iPhone into iPhoto

    I've just upgraded an iPhone and am trying to get the photos off the old one onto the computer. Using iPhoto because that's what I've used before. The iPhone is connected via USB and iTunes recognizes it but iPhoto doesn't show it at all, so there's no chance to import anything. Any ideas why the device is not showing up to iPhoto, even while it does show up to iPhoto? Be advised, I have not backed up to the Cloud at all so Photo Stream is not enabled.
    And a secondary question: why in the heck would iTunes be set up, under the Photos tab, to import photos FROM the computer TO the iPhone? That's all I can get it to do at least. Why in the world would I want to move photos in that direction, if the iPhone is the camera and the comptuer hard drive is the storage device?

    So you can view pics from your computer on your iphone.  For most, then iphone is not the only camera they ever use.  In fact, it is likely not the main camera you would use.

  • Problem Importing Photos from Aperture 3 into iPhoto '11

    I store my photos in Aperture 3, but import them into iPhoto to create calendars, cards, etc. I usually work with RAW or high resolution JPG images in Aperture. However, when I import these into the new iPhoto '11, it automatically converts my RAW images into very low resolution images (e.g., 100-200k instead of at least 1-2MB). I cannot seem to find an option to change this. This was not a problem with the old iPhoto. To import, I start in iPhoto, then click "Show Aperture Library", then drag my photos/folder. I would like to have an option to import images as RAW files, or just high res JPGs.
    I know I can export my Aperture images to the desktop, then import them into iPhoto for a temporary fix, but that is such as hassle, especially since iPhoto and Aperture are supposed to work well together. Thanks for any suggestions!

    Aperture creates preview images that contain all the adjustments you've made to the master image. These previews are what is shared with other apps such as iLife or if you drag and drop an image out of Aperture to another app or the Finder.
    The size of the previews is controlled in Aperture Preferences. Open Aperture Preferences and click on the Previews icon at the top. In the bottom of this dialog there is a popup menu titled "Photo Preview". This is the setting that controls the size of the image Aperture shares with iPhoto. Change this setting to the size you want.
    But wait, you're not done yet. Changing this setting does nothing until a new preview is created in Aperture. If you right click an image in Aperture there is a menu item near the bottom named "Update Preview". But what you really need is "Generate Preview". Right click the image and then hold down the option key and you'll see "Update Preview" change to "Generate Preview". Choose "Generate Preview" and a new preview will be created using the new size setting you made in Preferences. You need to do this for each and every image you wish to share at the larger size. You can select multiple images before selecting the "Generate Preview" command to speed things up.
    Now when you share an image from Aperture to iPhoto the new larger file will be used. The advantage of smaller previews is your Aperture library will also be smaller but the trade off is what you get in other apps that are using your images.

  • Importing photos from Nikon D5000 into iphoto

    I just got a Nikon D5000 and cannot import my photos directly from the camera to iphoto using the USB cable supplied with the camera. I have no trouble when I use my D80 camera - plug it in to the USB and iphoto starts importing automatically. What am I doing wrong? I even tried using the Nikon Transfer software that came with the camera, but no luck there either. I have already made sure the connections are tight, camera is on and in play mode. I don't know what else to try. Very frustrating...grrrrr.

    Lisa, attach the camera to your Mac, and then launch Image Capture. See what is set as the default whe this particular camera is connected.

  • I imported video from a card into IPhoto and it plays in slow motion.  Any suggestions? Would importing into IMovie help at all?

    Hello
    I am importing video and pics into Iphoto and the video plays in slow motion.  Would importing in Imovie help or does it have something to do with the type of camera or file the video is in?

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Problem importing photos from iphone 4s into iphoto

    With iphone 4s, the phone syncs fine with our imac.  All photos on computer sync onto the phone with no problem.  However, iphoto will not import any photos off the phone onto the computer.  It seems like it is hung up on two images (1 a video) that we ended up deleting off the phone yet iphoto.  It was working fine until iphoto tried importing the video.  Now, all later photos taken with phone will not import.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Get the PhotoSync app in the app store and it will easily send your photos to your computers (and viceversa).  It's a highly rated app and works great.  Here's their webpage: http://www.photosync-app.com/photosync/en/home.html.

  • Why can't I import photos from my CannonZR70 into iPhoto 08?

    Since updating to Mac OS X 10.7.3 I can't see my CannonZR 70 in iPhoto so I can import my Project Linus pictures. I have iPhoto 08. I cannot find the Source so I can check to see if my camera is supported. Help!!!
    Do I need to update to iLife? (I was able to take a picture with my iPhone 3G and import it... but want to use the Cannon)

    It worked just fine until I did the update to get to 10.7.3.
    I am using the card option on the Canon when I take pictures of the blankets.
    When I go to the VCR setting, usually the import operation would come onto the screen in iPhoto 08. Now nothing happens.
    I have always had one end of the cable hooked to the DV port on the ZR70 and the other to the firewire port.
    Thank you for any advice or assistance,

  • IPhoto hung importing photos from SD card and is now not responding

    Importing photos from SD card (canon raw format) and iPhoto hung and is no longer responding have to firce quit to get out of it.  Suggestions on reinstalling iPhoto. or?

    I was able to resolve the issue through forcing the image capture program to quit through the activity monitor and reboot the machine and everything seems to function fine now.  Imported the pics, all 240 of them in RAW format.

  • Imported photos from sd card not showing in events

    iPhoto 9.6: after importing photos from SD card, they do not appear in Events nor Last Import. They DO appear in Photos and Last 18 Months. How can I get them into Events?

    they are  in an event - every photo is - you are not finding them
    Photos and events are simply different views of the exact same photos - anything in one is also in the other
    Most common causes are a bad sort of events - fix using the view menu ==> sort events and set your desired sort
    Or  --  a bad date on the camera - to fix set the camera correctly and select the photos already imported with the bad dates and use the adjust time/date command to fix
    You also can right click on one in Photos and select who event from the resulting menu to see where it is

  • I can't import photos from microSD card.

    I can't import photos from MicroSD card. I have an Android phone and it's getting too full. I have to import the photos into iPhoto ASAP. First I tried using the Android Transfer Files app to transfer the photos directly from my phone and it didn't work. So I inserted a microSD card into my phone and transferred photos onto that. Used a card reader through USB and still nothing. iPhoto shows absolutely nothing loading using either method. I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. My phone can't take anymore photos. I've contacted AT&T, Apple, Pantech, and Android and not a single person could help me. A guy from Pantech actually told me I should have got an iPhone. I told him if I could have afforded it I would have. NEED YOUR HELP PLEEEEEASE!!!  Thank you so much for any help you can give.

    Copy the photos from the card to a folder on the desktop. Then import them from there to iPhoto. If that works you can delete them from the card.

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Window 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD card into Organizer

    After installing Windows 8.1, I am no longer able to import pictures from SD card into Organizer as Elements simply stops working after Import from Card reader is selected. Obviously I am shutdown from importing pictures.

    Windows 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD Card in card reader into Elements Organizer. The Elements Program goes to a blue circle and the program times out.
    I have:
    Tried different SD cards
    Tried different card readers,
    I can import off files or folders. However card reader does not show up on this menu within Elements.
    There is obviously some workaround that could be contemplated BUT Elements Organizer cannot import from SD card in card reader and this is a very inconvenient situation.  It worked fine in Windows 8.0.
    I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.
