Transferring images from camera or flash drive

Hi,
I am having problems with transferring images. When I plug in a flash drive or my camera to the USB port,nothing pops up on my desktop. I checked System Profiler, and it appears that the computer is recognizing the flash drive. So it must be a problem with the drive talking to the software, right?
I went into Image Capture and set the preference for iPhoto to open when a camera is attached, but no go.
This is a new problem - I have transferred images many times since getting the computer in March.
Help!!
Thanks,
Codymae

When you make a User choice - such as 'Open iPhoto When a Camera is connected' it's recorded in the preference (or plist) file. That's what those files are. Trashing them will return the app to the default state. You can then re-select your choics. Corrupted plist files are a common cause of all sorts of issues and one of the basic troubleshooting steps for any app.
Regards

  • HT4106 Will the camera kit allow you to view images from a usb flash drive?

    Will the camera kit allow you to view images from a usb flash drive?

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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 do I export images from aperture to flash drive

    How do I export the whole album from Aperture to flash drive.?

    The same way you would export to any file system:
    Connect the flash drive and once it is mounted you can export to it in the regular manner.

  • Images from scan on flash drive. Can female- female USB adapter be used to input to ipad?

    Can female- female USB adapter be used to input images from scans to ipad?

    You have to use the camera connection kit adapter, which precludes the input of power at the same time. Most newer USB flash drives don't use too much power. You can also put your pics into a DCIM folder on a camera SD card and use the camera connection kit. Haven't seen any posts about an SD cards using too much power.

  • Trouble in transferring files from Mac to flash drive

    I can transfer files from my flash drive to my Mac but am having trouble transferring files from the Mac to the flash drive.  I also tried to install the NTSF 3G software as recommended by some people. However, it did not work either. The flash drive could not be mounted after I installed the NTSF software so I ended up uninstalling it. Please help! Thanks.

    Why does the flash drive need to be formatted NTFS?
    If you have no valid reason for it to be formatted NTFS then reformating might be a simpier solution.

  • I want to copy images from a external flash drive to my 'images'

    Mount the flash drive on your desktop, drag the images to your desktop and then drag and drop them onto your Images file.

  • How receive image from camera with PCI-bus

    Hello all
    Please help
    me.
    I have LV 7.1.1.
    I wont
    watch two and more images from cameras at the same time.
    I have capture
    card (PCI-bus) with 4 video-input.
    What kind
    of data must be transfered from this capture card  to LV?
     With respect
    Aleksandr.

    Hello Aleksandr
    please provide more information, what type of video card do you have?
    Have you configure the card so you can watch an image with MAX?
    I suppose the card has the ability to capture more than one image at a time is that true?, however most of the cards that I know of, have several inputs but you can only display one image at a time, you can swith between them and capture and image from another input, to capture more than one unit at a time you would need to open/close sessions with the instrument/card such that you are switching from one input to another

    Hi BLG,
    If you haven't already done so, please update your software for Windows 7.  Here's how.
    Just click here to access the software updates for your camera.  Once there, just enter your operating system, then the version of the operating system.  Now click on "Software" to show the software updates.
    Click on "ZoomBrowser EX 6.9.0a Updater".  Installation instructions are on the next page.  Also, please download "CameraWindow "DC 8.8 for Windows" to your desktop.
    After accepting the required disclaimer, please download the program update to your desktop.
    After downloading all the software you choose to install, please install ZoomBrowser last. This will allow it to link to the other Canon software on your computer.
    Since you've installed an older version of software, you may now double-click on the program update to install it.  If not, just put the CD-ROM in your computer's optical drive and stop any installation program that starts.

  • How do you Automatically Copy Images From Camera?

    I would like to create an AppleScript that will run when I plug in my digital camera. Here is what I cannot figure out.
    How to make it run when the camera is plugged in.
    How tow to copy images from camera to a designated folder.
    Thanks!

    You can do all you requested - without 'AppleScript'.
    01. Connect your camera launch 'Image Capture' ('/Applications/' folder - if it does not automatically launch.
    02. Select the 'Image Capture, Preferences...' menu item.
    03. Click on the 'General' tab.
    04. From the 'Camera:' 'When a camera is connected, open:' pop up menu - select the 'Image Capture.app' menu item.
    05. From the 'Devices' menu select your camera from the menu items list. A window will appear with the title of your camera.
    06. From the 'Download To:' pop up menu select where to save the camera's photographs. You can select any folder anywhere on your hard disk drive(s).
    07. Click the 'Options...' button, and from the drop down sheet click on the 'Connection Options' 'Automatically download all items' check box - to add a check mark. There are other options you may have be interested in.
    08. Click on the 'OK' button.
    09. If you want to download the photographs now - click on the window's 'Download All' button. Or, to test the above setting changes - quit 'Image Capture' and disconnect your camera. Then reconnect the camera - and watch the above setting changes take effect.
    Note:
    The above automatic action can also happen if the storage device of the camera were inserted into a USB digital camera card reader. So long as apply the Steps above, and you select the USB digital camera card reader from the 'Devices' menu's menu item list in Step 05 above.
    'Image Capture' is not scriptable; but, may be control-able via 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "Image Capture" ....
    When a camera is connect to the Mac, the storage card of the camera is mounted onto the 'Desktop' and also listed, as an alias, in the (invisible) '/Volumes/' folder.
    Now that you know the name of the storage card ... you can create a 'Folder Action Script' (an example is presented below) and save it into the '/Library/Script/Folder Action Scripts/' folder,
    Open the '/Volumes./' folder (in 'Finder' via 'Go, Go to Folder' - enter '/Volumes/').
    Perform a right button click ('<control> - click, for single button users) on the 'Volumes' folder's window, and select 'Enable Folder Actions' (if not already).
    Rpeat the right button click (<control> click) and select 'Attach a Folder Action...' - selecting your script ('Volumes_FAS.scpt' as shown below).
    Below is a 'Folder Action Script' example - where you will have to substitute 'NO NAME' with the name of your digital camera's storage card's name.
    -- --- Save code as a script with the name 'Volumes_FAS.scpt' --- --
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    set myStorageCard to "NO NAME" -- The name of my 1 GB stroage card. The name of your card may differ.
    repeat with i in added_items
    tell application "Finder" to set tName to (name of i) as string -- Obtain name of mounted storage card.
    if (tName is equal to myStorageCard) then my handle_card(i) -- If my storage card, continue processing.
    end repeat
    end adding folder items to
    on handlecard(localVolume)
    set folder_Path to ((path to desktop folder from user domain) as string) -- Path to 'Desktop' folder.
    set download_Folder to "NO_NAME Photographs" -- Name of folder to store storage card's items (files and folders).
    -- create download_Folder, if it does not exists.
    tell application "Finder" to if (not (exists folder (folder_Path & download_Folder))) then make new folder at (folder_Path as alias) with properties {name:download_Folder}
    -- Duplicate all the items (files and folders) of the storage device to the '~/Desktop/NO_NAME Photographs' folder.
    tell application "Finder" to duplicate items of local_Volume to (folder_Path & download_Folder) as alias
    end handle_card
    -- --- End of code --- --
    Review 'Finder's dictionary (in 'Script Editor') for the various ways to incorporate 'duplicate ...'.

  • I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

    I bought  mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
    I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
    So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
    Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
    and there is no 4 choices window.
    I don't know what to do.

    How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
    As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
    At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

  • Why can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive?

    Why Can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive? I scanned them into a desktop pc, copied them onto a flash drive, imported them into iphoto. Once I remove the flash drive I'm unable to edit them. Says it can't find the original...or something like that. I appreciate any help you can give me! Trying to get a slide show ready for a funeral, therefore I have an approaching deadline, eek!

    Copy the photos from the drive to your desktop import then again and delete the images. If the same mistake appears, there is something wrong with your import settings into iPhoto - > may be you didn't imported the original files to your iphoto library.

  • Booting a DMG from a USB Flash Drive?

    Is there anyway I can boot from a USB flash drive? I don't have a DVD burner to burn the image onto, so I have to resort to this. I'm running an Intel iMac (late 2006) on Tiger.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If you mean boot up your Mac then the answer is no. If you mean open a .dmg file then the answer is yes.

  • HT5172 Glad to have USB capability on my new iMac.  Been in Mac world all of 2 days now.  Question - I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and am wondering if flash drives have to be ejected the same as on a PC?  Can't find how to do it.  Thanks.

    Been in the iMac world now all of 2 days.  I'm glad to have USB capability.  I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and now need to remove the flash drive.  Do you eject flash drives on iMacs as we did on PC's?  Can't find an answer in the support area.  Thanks...

    Yes. All external drives regardless of how they are connected must be ejected before they can be unplugged.
