Traveling - export photo to SD card

Is there a LIGHTWEIGHT hardware solution to export videos and photos from an iPhone to an external device like an SD card, or a small usb drive?
I would them delete them from the iPhone to free some space and get more shots.
ps: traveling; no internet access.
thanks!

Why would you set the devie to manage music and videos manually? This has no affect on the abiltiy to copy pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer.
Simply plug the iDevice in, copy the pictures to the computer or directly to a flash drive. This is assuming that the computer you connect to is not locked down to prevent such things.

Cant export photos to SD Card

I am trying to export pictures from the library to a card for a photo frame. I can’t seem to get them there. I keep getting “unable to create” message. Do all the photos need to be renamed? is there a sharing issue with photos having the same name?
imac

I have a frame also and had problems putting files into the root folder. I was able to finally get them in there by adding a few at a time, particularly after I hit a particular number, in my case it was 79. From there I had to add 1-3 at a time but did finally get up to 102 files. My frame could not view them in a folder.
Do you Twango?

HT201302 When I travel with my SLR I like to transfer all photos to the iPad so that they are more easily edited and viewed by others, using the camera kit. Occasionally I would like to export photos - I have not found a way to do this. Can you help?

I occasionally have the need to export photos from the iPad to an SD card (photos that were imported using the camera kit). This is useful for e.g. to print photos while travelling. So far I have not found this functionality anywhere, including in any apps available on iTunes. Can anyone help?

The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

How to export photos from ipad to sd card

For some reason my ipad doesn't recongize readers attached. Or maybe a better question is how do I know if ipad recognizes reader? How do I export photos from ipd to SD card?

You can only use the kit to copy photos from a card (or direct from a camera) to the iPad's Photos app, you can't use it to copy content off the iPad.
To copy photos to the iPad via the kit, then if you are copying the photos onto the card yourself from your computer then you will need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
To copy photos taken with the iPad, copied to via the kit or saved from emails/websites etc from the iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

How do i export photos to a thumb drive i have a 21.5 inch iMac the thumb drive is a kingston data traveler 512mb. help!!!

How do I export photos to a Kingston Data Traveler 512mb, I have a 21.5 IMAC OSX ,I hope thats enough info?

If you're using iPhoto, choose Export from the File menu and specify a location on it.
If you're using loose photos, drag them to a location on the thumbdrive.
In either case, Mac OS X needs to be able to write to the drive; if it's formatted as NTFS, this requires additional software.

Backing up photos to external hard drive,and exporting back to CF card on camera

iPhoto 5 on Mac Power PC G4, OS 10.4.11
backing up photos to external hard drive (LaCie) My iPhoto Library contains a number of files (such as 'Library.iPhoto' 'iPhoto.db' 'ThumbJPG.data' etc) and a number of folders with dates such as 2005 etc, containing folders within folders, none of which with any contents.
Is there a way I can organise just the photos on their own so that I can select just those to be backed up on my LaCie hard drive, without all those distracting and (apparently) unnecessary extra files and folders ?
exporting edited photos back to CF card on camera I have tried everything I can think of to export photos from iPhoto back to the CF card on the camera, without success. It must be possible to do ?

Edit: Note: It's been a while but the Export command may be in the Share menu on older versions...
1. To back up an iPhoto Library
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
2. To Back up Just the Photos
Use the File -> Export command to export the images to where you want them.
BTW: there are no user-serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library Folder. Rooting around in there can cause damage.
3. Edited Photos to CF Card is a two part process:
Exporting is just File -> Export. Choosing any setting except 'Original' and you'll get the Edited version.
The CF Card? Just drag and drop there.
But a couple of possible problems: Canon Cameras don't show up in the Finder. So you'll need to stick the card into a USB Card Reader for get them on there
Camera Cards are all formatted FAT. That means there's a limit to the number of items on the top level of the card: Workaround: Export the shots to a folder and drag that over
And, of course, if you want to see the shots in the camera, you'll need to put them in whatever specific folder it uses for the photos.

How do I export photos from iphoto to a memory card?

How do I export photos from iphoto to a memory card?

Not using the correct structure. Camera's use a very exact structure and the only way the camera will see photos on the card is for them to be in that exact structure

How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created desktop files for the photos and the card, dragged photos to the card, but when I replace card in camera, it says "No valid photo to display". I just need to get some prints made and have been struggling with this for hours. Thank you.

No one can help you any more than has been done
Your camera is not a general purpuose photo display system - it is designed to take photos, let you look at those photos and allow you to download them to your computer or other places - if you wnat to use it view photos then you have to put the photos in exactly the correct place with exactly the correct names or it will not see them
And this has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto in any way - iPhoto sotres and proecesses yoru photos and allows you to export them - once you export them it is totally out of the picture - you can easily get photo prints by using the iPhoto print service, using an internet print service, burning photos to a DVD and taking them to a print service or putting them on a SD card and taking them to a print service - to view them on your camera you have to exactly reporduce what the camera is looking for - not at all sure what the pirnt even is

Exporting photos to camera memory card-drag & drop won't work

Hi! I am trying to export photos from IPhoto08 to the memory card on my digital camera. In iPhoto, there is an icon showing for my camera under "devices" but when I try to drag a photo to the camera icon, nothing happens; it just doesn't recognize that there is a camera there, even though it shows my camera by name and number. help! do you think it's the brand of card I'm trying to use?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless the memory card/camera can mount on the desktop as removable media you won't be able to move files to the card. Depending on the camera you may be able to change the file transfer mode so that the camera does mount on the desktop. Otherwise you'll need to get a card reader which will do the job.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

Export photos to San Disk

I am trying to export pictures from my iphoto library to a san disk so that I can print them out...I have basically tried to "export" photos to my desktop and then just transfer them to the San Disk. When I put the SD into my camera it says that there are no valid images. Does anyone know how to get around this? Do they need to be in a specific format or placed in a specific spot? Also, if that cannot work, is there a cord that i could connect from the small sony printer to my computer...the printer has a USB port and a smaller port approx 1cm (or a little less) in diameter with 6 sides--looks like the outline of a house with top cut off. Thanks in advance.

Lauren
I just did this very thing yesterday - I now give SD cards out as gifts to family members (is that weird?).
First I exported the photos to another location on my hard drive, to get them outside iPhoto. I don't export directly to the SD card, so that I know iPhoto isn't causing a conflict there.
Then, as Larry said, I reformatted the card in my camera and took one test photo. The card's file structure was then DCIM > Canon### > photo.jpg.
Copying my folder of photos (as a unit) onto the card failed. Instead, I had to select all of the files, then move them into that Canon### folder which contained the test pic. That worked, and I could see the files being written into the folder on the SD card.
Keep in mind that the Mac uses invisible files to generate the thumbnail images that you see in the Finder, and when you write the files to the SD card those invisible files will go there too. The result may be that your camera recognizes the jpegs but not the invisible files, and you may see that every other file is "unrecognizable" by the camera. You can ignore those files, since your photos are on the card. Or you can try using an application that strips the files from the card so that they aren't in your way. (I got my hubby to remove them directly from the card using Terminal, and I still have no real understanding of how he does that. I don't mess around in Terminal myself.)
Regards.
