Backing up SD Card

I have filled my 4GB SD card with video and need to shoot more video this weekend. I would like to back-up my raw footage in case I ever need it. I've imported it into iMovie '08 and do back this up; I guess that would be considered a back-up. However, in case I ever want to import the raw footage into another program, I'd like to keep it as it sits on the card in the camera.
If I were to copy the footage as it sits on the card to a DVD, would that suffice? My fear is that the date of the DVD will now be the "movie" date and therefore change the date of the file if I ever wanted to reimport it into an iMovie type program. Thoughts?

I recommend that you create a disk image of your entire SD card. You can mount the disk image and import from it as if it were a camera.

  • 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.

  • Back to school card is not working

    Last week, I went to the apple store, Because my back to school card is not working.
    And the clerk helped me to solve that the problem.
    He said i will receive the mail from apple customer service.
    From last week until today. I did not receive any mail from apple customer.
    Can any one help me ??

    I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. Apart from the fact that this is the forum for people who make podcasts, the entire discussions are user-to-user forums: you're not talking to Apple here, and no-one on here can help you. You will have to take this up with Apple directly.
    If you go to the Apple Store page for your country you should see a phone number in the bottom right-hand corner: they may be able to help or at least tell you how to contact the people who can.

  • I imported some pictures from my cameras memory card to iPhoto and now i want to transfer them back to memory card

    I just got my iMac and I just wanted to copy some pictures from my camera's memory card to my computer. turns out 'importing pictures' meant totaly removing the pictures from my memory card. How can I transfer the pictures back to my memory card?
    More info:
    I used Dynex Compact Memory Card Reader and put my memory card in it to connect to the usb plug
    I have a Canon Camera
    I am using iPhoto

    Hi.
    FYI and future reference, importing pictures does not have to mean removing them from the memory card or camera.
    When you plug in a memory card and open iPhoto to import your pictures, there will be a dialog box that opens and asks if you'd like to "Keep" the imported photos on the card, or delete them.
    Apparently you selected the option to delete them.
    In any case, in order to move them back to the card, you *should* be able to plug the card into your Dynex reader, after which the card should mount and display on the desktop. Then, open iPhoto and simply drag the photos from there and into the memory card.
    You may need to recreate the file and folder structure on the card so the camera can find the files when you wish to view them.
    I hope this is helpful.

  • I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

    You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

  • Has anyone ever had an email from Apple asking them to update their details for their Apple account on IPad? Kinda worried as it asks for my bank details and bank account number and security code on the back of the card. Thanks :)

    Has anyone ever had an email from Apple on IPad asking them to update their account details? The email seems genuine enough as it asks you to sign in with your Apple ID and password and takes you through to the Apple site but am a bit worried as they ask you in the section Update Your Apple account for bank and credit card details and for the security number on the back of the card. Also in the section where it asks for my mobile number it will only take 10 numbers and when ai try to put in the final (11th number) it won't let me. Sorry am new to all this and a bit confused! Any help is gratefully appreciated.....Thanks.

    That is phishing attack

    If it has no expiration date on it, or doesn't mention anything about how long it is valid for, then it never expires.

  • HT201272 How can I use my $50 US Back To School card in Canada?

    I bought an iPad from the Apple Store last summer while on vacation in San Diego, and received a $50 US Back To School card. I just recently purchased another iPad this year in Canada from Best Buy and did not receive a $50 US Back To School card. Since I haven't used the gift card last year, I wanted to make some purchases on my iPad I bought this year but it is saying that I have to use the U.S. storefront. How might I go about doing so, or working around this issue? Help I need the apps for school!
    Thanks :)

    iTunes Gift Cards are only redeemable in the iTunes Store for the country that is listed on the back of the card. A U.S. gift card isn't any good if you don't have a U.S. address and U.S. iTunes Store account. Sorry :\

  • Why did I not get a back to school card with my macbook pro

    Hello,
    Yesterday I bought a macbook pro for university. I showed my university card and was given a discount, but thought I would also be a 'back to school card' to get £70 of apps. I have registered by macbook online but still no mention of the voucher. Please advise. Thank you.

    I actually bought it June 17.  Is it too late to get one?  Shoulnd't they have it on record whether or not they gave me one?

  • HT201209 I recieved my gift card online through email. How do I get the code on the back of the card?

    I recieved my gift card online through email. How do I get the code on the back of the card?

    If you redeemed the card prior to losing it, then the balance is in your iTunes Store account and the card is no longer needed. If you didn't redeem the card before you lost it, then sorry but just like cash, it's gone.
    Regards.
