Can't load photos from SD card or camera

I initially connected an SD card to my iPad with the camera connection kit. It immediately loaded all the photos on the card. I selected a few to save on the iPad and then disconnected the SD card. After that I was not able to load that card with same photos to select a few more or load any photos from any camera, including my Canon 7D, 20D or SD 1200. What's wrong?

I guess I'm stumped.
All my previous tests were with a Compact Flash reader attached to the USB "dongle". Which seemed to work fine with my Nikons importing both raw and raw+jpeg.
I went and tried my wife's Lumix SD card and it seems to work fine. I could import a few shots, remove it then insert and import some more, repeated a third time OK.
According to a post by Rantexan [Here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11389923&#11389923] he got the 7D to work.
Also according to RussW [Here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11460740&#11460740] he got 5D to import.
Both of them were shooting raw.
Sounds like it might be the SD connector??

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.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location".. This has never happened before.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have never had this happen before. I use a MacBook Pro

I also have the exact same issue. New IMac, installed LR, imported approximately 900 photos no problem, across the network from a Windows PC. The import stopped when the network connection was lost. Now I cannot import for the same reason "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have plenty of disk space and i have permission to the needed folders. I cannot even import from a folder already on the IMac.

How can i load photos from iphoto onto camera

Hi,
for some reason I can not load photos from iphoto back onto my canon camera anymore...
situation: canon camera is connected to mac book pro. I have imported photos from the camera into iPhotos.
unfortunately deleted them from the camera.
now i would like to transfer them back onto the camera.
It does not let me drag and drop the photos from iphoto to the camera.
and I can not find a way to more the photos back.
can anyone help?
Thanks.
k.

The folks in the iPhoto community forum wait for questions like this. In any case from iPhoto select your photos. Then select export. Navigate to your USB sick and that's it.

Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?

Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395? The model A1395 is described as "wi-fi only" and has a 30 pin connector for charging.
[By contrast, this is NOT the iPad2 model A1396, which is described as "Wi-Fi/GMS/GPS AT&T" or the Model A1397, which is described as "Wi-Fi/CDMA/GPS Verizon". Nor is it the model A1337, described as "Wi-Fi/3G/GPS (Original)".]
Wi-Fi only seems to me to have an ominous ring to it. I am synching with my iPhone through the iCloud, if that is of any use.
In addition, I should note that the photo files I want to look at in the iPad are large files, a little over 100 MB in JPEG format. The desire is to display the whole image (these are archival photos of heirloom quilts) and then be able to focus in on specific details (by enlrging them so that the stitching and other details can be seen). I mention this because I tthink there may be some 30 MB limit on the size of a file that the iPAD can handle. Would I be able to examine a larger file (but perhaps npot as large as 100 MB) if I had 64 MB memory in the iPad?

WiFi only refers to the fact that the iPad connects to the Internet via WiFi because it does not have cellular capability. That has nothing to do with the ability to put photos on the device.
Sync the photos from the Mac via iTunes.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the folder from which your photos are located in the Sync Photos From Heading. If you use iPhoto - select that or navigate to the specific photos folder on the Mac.
If you use iPhoto, select all of the albums, or events that you want to sync. If you use another photos folder, you can select one level of sub folders within that main folder.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Having 64GB of storage also has nothing to do with the ability to view the photos on the iPad since that refers to storage capacity. However, the larger the storage capacity, the more photos the iPad will be able to hold.
I know of no limit on the size that a photo needs to be in order to be viewable on the iPad.
If you use iCloud, you can sync photos that you shoot on the iPd and iPhone across devices via Photo Stream, but it just be turned on for this to work. Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream on. Any photos that you take on one device after photo stream is turned on, will sync to the other device.

How can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc?

how can I delete photos from my ipad that came in when I connected for the first time to my pc? HELP

Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

I can't load pictures from my card reader into my computer--sometmes

I have version 2 of iPhoto. In the past, everytime I put a card in my reader, the pictures would appear on my screen. This time, nothing happens. I have over 200 pictures in my photo library, but when I put in a different card, which contains a different set of photos, those photos don't appear on my screen. I click on IMPORT; in fact, I click on both IMPORTS, since I don't know what function either serves. Incidentally, I know that the card contains photos, because they can be viewed when the card is in the camera. I have checked the cable connections. One more thing: I added a photo to another card and sent it as an e-mail attachment. Could something be wrong with the card that's giving me trouble?

Niku,
Do you see the icon of the card on the desktop?
No.
you could also go into the applications and look for
image capture.
I went there. In the USB storagage window it said, "Items remaining 11." It also said "Preparing download," but it never progressed beyond where it started. I cancelled the attempt.
Launch it and then connect your card reader. This
might work.
If you should want image capture to launch in the
future when you connect a card, then go to Image
capture> preferences: you will see camera and scanner
preferences. Adjust to your liking. If you do not
want iPhoto to launch anymore when your camera or car
is connected, then set to "nothing"
Where is image capture located?
Personnaly I disabled image capture: I set it to
nothing. I like better opening the icon of the card,
penetrate to the picture level, and then drag & drop
all the needed picture into an empty folder on the
desktop, say called" August 2006". Then disconnect
the card, launch iPhoto, then drag the august 2006
folder over iPhoto window. You will then have a new
film roll called August 2006. Shoot 2 birds with
one stone.
What if there is no card icon?
Then you can delete the folder "august 2006" or you
can place it into another HD as a personal backup
system.
p.s. make sure that you remove your card before
launching iPhoto, because iP will be searching your
card again, to re-import what you just uploaded
manually into the august 2006 folder!
Although you have given detailed instructions, I want to take a different approach. I'm going to delete all photos now in my computer and begin again. I'm going to make a fresh posting, because too many questions in one posting can be confusing. For now, however, I need instructions for removing my card from the reader. I'm told it is wrong to do this without following the proper procedure. Supposedly the proper procedure is as follows: "Click the tiny Eject button next to the card's name in the Source list and then remove the card from the reader". The problem with this advice is that there is no "tiny Eject button," and there is no card name. Would it be okay to just remove the card from the reader?
hope this helps.
michel
Yes, it's helpful, but I think I need to start from the beginning. That's why I'm going to try to delete all the photos from my computer and then try to import photos from at least four memory cards to see if they all act the same way. That reminds me: there are THREE Import buttons (two in the iPhoto window, and one in the FILE menu), and I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to use. One problem I'm having is that I haven't been able to delete everything, but I'll save my questions on that for my next posting. Thanks for your help.

Suddenly can't import photos from SDHC card after installing Snow Leopard

After we installed Snow Leopard, we suddenly can't import any photos from our camera when we use an SDHC memory card. Regular SD cards work fine and importing from our SDHC card onto our MacBookPro w/o SnowLeopard works just fine. Anyone have any solutions for this? Tried my card reader, too, and get same problem. Hook up camera/card reader, iPhoto takes a long time to recognize it, and then I get blank photos. I click import and then get an error message about unreadable files. Only happens when using the SDHC card. We're using iPhoto '08 on both Macs.

I vaguely remember other posts regarding the SDHC card. Have you searched for "SDHC" in the forum to see what other users report and they found a solution?
OT
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

I can't download photos from my Card. Error Code 0x80010108.What can I do?

I can't download pictures from my sim card. Error Code 0x80010108. What can I do?

Try to import from your camera with Image Capture instead of iPhoto. Does that work?
Do you see your camera as a disk on the Desktop?
Can you open the image files from te Finder?
That wizzard-icon is puzzling. Have you used your camera with a PC and perhaps reformatted the SD Card from a different operating system? Then I'd try to import a different SD Card, that has been reformatted in the camera.

Can i import photos from my wifi enabled camera to iphoto over wifi?

I am looking to buy a new digital camera and want to get want with wifi if I can upload the photos to iPhoto without cables.

Hi there. For anyone searching, here are the results of my research and corresponding advice back to Sony...
Thanks, your comments looked correct but did not solve my problem. You may be interested to know after much testing and research, I was able to ascertain that some of the camera's AVCHD settings iMovie cannot see at all (only some, which made it even harder to figure out!). Plus, if you have recorded movie clips in more than one format to the memory card (MP4 or any one of the AVCHD's), iMovie cannot see any of the AVCHD's.
Bottom line - forgo the benefits of AVCHD on the Sony NEX-5N and just use MP4 until Apple makes it easier.

I have a new MacBook air. I can't download photos from either of my cameras.

Does anyone know why the MacBook air won't download photos from either my canon digital camera or my Sony point and shoot cameras. The process starts and then I get an error message.

If you don't get an answer here, you might post this in the MBA discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_air

Can I move photos from Google to the Camera Roll on my iPad?

Just bought my first iPad, I would like to import photos from Google+ and put them into albums and the camera roll...is this possible?

If you are using the Google+ App, you just need to tap on the settings "cog" icon at the top left corner of the opened pciture, and then tap on download.
This will put the image in your camera roll.

Can't import photos from SD card!

I have about 200 photos on a 2 GB Kingston SD card that will not import. I do not have any other software (e.g. from my camera--a Canon PowerShot SD750) other than iPhoto 09 to import my photos.
The first time I tried importing the photos, all the photos loaded, but when I click to "Import All" and after waiting for about and hour, it imported about 10 photos and popped up with a msg. saying that the rest of the photos (which it had listed in numbered jpeg format) could not be imported b/c they were in an unrecognizable format. I have tried importing them using a SD card reader and hooking up my camera via USB cable with the same results. When I place the card back the into my camera, and I try to view the images on my camera screen, I can see them, but it now says "Unidentified Image" underneath them.
I am desperate to try to recover these photos of my family's vacation!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
When I place the card back the into my camera, and I try to view the images on my camera screen, I can see them, but it now says "Unidentified Image" underneath them.
Sounds like there may be directory damage on the card.
Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to move the files to your desktop.
If that fails ry use an app like MediaRecover to get the pics, and afterwards reformat the card in your camera.

Can't move photos from SD card to Trash after download into iPhoto

The past few times I've tried to delete photos downloaded via a card reader from my SD card to iPhoto, I have been unable to do so.
I receive the message: "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. Error code -61."
This problem only started with the last four or five photo downloads I've made.
Any suggestions? Thanx.

Try reformatting your card with your camera. That will clear the card and probably fix the issue as well.
And is a better workflow since it eliminates the possibility of losing photos due to a computer glitch and renews the format of your card every time

Aperture 2.1.2: Can't import the loaded photos from card reader...

All of a sudden when loading photos from a card reader into a folder in Aperture 2.1, I fail to "OPEN" neither a NUMBER of them, nor ALL of them...Any suggestions please....Mamster37+

Hi Tony, thanks again for your readiness to help. Have tried out the suggestion in the second paragraph of your thread, same result as you. That means when first taking the photos from the card reader to the desktop and then IMPORTING them from there into Aperture, there is NO problem. But when from inside Aperture, using Aperture's load/import feature from the card reader, it will NOT work! However, I have found out that the problem seems to be related to RAW-files only (in my case Nikons "NEF-files"), jPEGS open/import fine that way. My possible conclusion: in the light of the rather many recent adjustments/upgrades of various RAW-converters - lately also within Photoshop CS4 - I put myself the question as to whether the latter "Camera Raw-converter" might have overruled the converter of Apples Operating system, or that of Aperture. There seem to be a "collision" somewhere...What do you or other readers of this thread mean about my findings? Oeksen37+
