Downloading from flash card to iPhoto5

is it possible to download select photos from flash card to iPhoto5?
seems to me every time it wants to download the entire contents of the card, which is frustrating
if possible, then how?--or is there a workaround?

Hi shelby,
You don't have that option with iPhoto, but you do have a choice using Image Capture.
Here is what I do and the reason why.
I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips so I could make easy backups of just the photos and movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • Download from SD card

    I have photos to download from my SD card to iphotos and my issue is that when I insert my SD card into the slot the pictures appear double when they download to iphotos. How can get it to open show just one photo of each? I have a Nikon D80 is that helps.

    Set the camera to shoot one copy - either RAW or JPEG - you are most likely shooting RAW plus JPEG - two copies of each photo

  • Photos downloaded from SD card unaccessible "because the volume on which it resides is currently offline"

    This has happened multiple times such that I can't share any photos except those I uploaded to Aperture from my iPhone. All of my cameras use SD cards. They show up in Aperture and I download them to a new project. The project appears, goes through the download process. Aperture then asks me if I want to delete the files and I do (yes, multiple times I have done this, foolishly not recalling that 2 months prior this happened).
    The files appear and can be rotated but not otherwise edited, not shared, not located, not exported. There are no files on the SD cards. The files however have great resolution on my screen - it's clear they are not just thumbnails.
    Please help! This really *****.

    thanks for this Léonie. at least i'll get the previews. it points to the SD card. unfortunately aperture deleted all of the files on the SD card ... so i'm not sure what it's pointing at.
    assuming those files are irretrievable (you'll be a hero to me if they aren't [??]),
    You only let Aperture delete the files from the card and did not reformat the card in the camera, right?
    Then put the card into a card reader and use a media recovery program to look for image files on the card. I am not sure, if Disk Drill will work for SD cards, but usually it is quite good at retrieving image files.

  • I keep getting duplicate photos when downloading from my card reader.

    In my PSE11 Camera and Card Reader preferences I have checked "Copy new files only".  Yet whenever I download a camera card that still contains photos that were previously downloaded, I end up with duplicate photos in PSE11. 
    I prefer to leave my photos on the camera card as a "backup" in case of a hard drive crash or other loss of data on the computer.  Once the card is full I archive it.
    Why do I get duplicates even though this setting makes it clear that I should not?  It is very annoying having to look through my photo collection and manually delete dozens or hundreds of duplicate photos.
    Thank you.
    Jon

    First, try contacting the developer of the app here >  http://support.aspyr.com/home
    If you do not get a reply within three to five business days, report the issue to Apple here > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support
    Apple's policy states, "all sales are final" > TUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE -TERMS AND CONDITIONS but if you explain the error and you haven't received areply from the developer, it can't hurt to request a refund.
    You're sure there's enough free space on the startup disk?

  • What is the proper way to set up to capture from Flash cards?

    I'm using a 7D for video. This camera uses flash cards. When I choose 'capture' from the file menu the error message says video deck is not connected. Should I plug in the camera to read the video or can I use (preferred) the flash card stuck in a card reader? Obviously just a beginner with this and want to get off to the correct start.

    Yup! If you create a new sequence and place one of your converted clips in it, it shouldn't have to render. If you find that you are struggling with the learning curve of FCE, I would recommend getting one of two training books:
    1. [Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop|http://www.amazon.com/Final-Cut-Express-Editing-Workshop/dp/0240810775/ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240436986&sr=8-2] by Tom Wolsky. This is how I learned the program and I can assure you that it is a comprehensive guide with everything from basic to more advanced techniques. I highly recommend it. Tom is a frequent contributor to this forum, so if you had any questions about a lesson then he'd be here to help you out.
    2. [Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express 4|http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Final-Express/dp/0321534670/ref=sr14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240437118&sr=8-4] by Diana Weynand. Though I can't vouch for it personally, I have heard from many people who were pleased with their experience learning from this book, and I'm sure it is quite good also.
    This is amazing, First: 1.) A clip doesn't have to render if it is imported using those settings? But it will have to render if I make changes to it and want to view it? Every time I edit and then want to see the changes played back, I have to wait for.....ev.......er while it renders again and before I can see it. That much is always a pain but a necessary one - I thought.
    2.) I always struggle learning new things so nothing new there. I do have Tom's book and that is what is guiding me to be where I am now. I am on page 62 studying 'Strategies for Capturing" today. I must say that what you have added here to my understanding is beyond what is included in the book, so I feel reinforced with the basics of set-up now and even the comment you made elsewhere about "M for Mark Clip." I'm furiously writing notes into Tom's book as I go along and accumulate clearer understanding thanks to your added explainations.
    I know nothing about the "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express 4" book by Diana Weynand, but am off on my way to look it up and check it out.
    As evidenced by our discussions here, there are different ways of saying things, and different pieces to every puzzle, so while Tom's book may be complete, I am also getting more by paying attention to the answers I am getting here also.
    Thank You,
    Ken

  • PE 7.0 Ignores Preference to Verify and Delete from Flash Card

    PE 6.0 worked correctly but 7.0 ignores the settings in Edit==>Preferences to verify and delete files after importing into PE.  If you change the setting manually every time you import, it does ask to delete files and does delete them but PE 7.0 ignores the preference and I often forget to delete the pictures manually and have a mess when I have new and old pictures on the flash card and it fills up unexpectedly while I am in the field!

    I had the same issue and launched a support case with Adobe. After a short perioed of understanding the issue I was having, the suggestion was a corrupt psa.prf file. I deleted the file per their instructions and the issue went away. Of course I had to change back all my settings in the preferences dialog, but well worth it to eliminate this issue.
    This is the last part of the the dialog from them
    Thank you for writing back to us at Adobe Support.
    I am contacting you in reference to your case #180979764 dated
    06/06/2009.
    I researched on your issue and found some relevant information. I think
    that damaged preference files might be the cause of your issue.
    Let us try to recreate the Photoshop Elements Organizer preferences file
    to eliminate problems that damaged preferences file might cause.
    I would like to inform you that When you use this solution, the
    Organizer will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom
    settings. However, the file that you rename in Step 2 below is your
    original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is
    not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by
    following the additional instructions after Step 3.
    To re-create the Photoshop Elements Organizer preferences file:
    1)Close the Photoshop Elements Organizer.
    2)Rename the psa.prf file (for example, to psa.old) in C:\Documents and
    Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop E
    lements\7.0\Organizer.
    3)Open the Photoshop Elements Organizer. The Organizer creates a new
    preferences file.
    If the problem continues, then a damaged preferences file is not the
    cause of the problem. To restore custom settings, delete the new psa.prf
    file and restore the original name (psa.prf) of the file that you
    renamed.

  • Downloading from Flash 8

    Does anyone know what action you need to download a file from
    Flash. As far as i know geturl only opens new windows with the file
    opening in that window but how do you set it so that it simply
    starts downloading a file?
    thanks, Peter

    What format is the file?
    Try zipping the file and then make a button with
    getURL("filename.zip")
    Use getURL.

  • Trouble in archiving or importing from Flash Card

    I shoot with a Sony Z5, recording to tape and compact flash card at the same time. When I connect the card through the card reader I can open files in the Finder (I note the native files are M2T files} and view them but when I open FCPX, evoke Media Import and try to 'Create Archive' nothing happens because all the files are showing, but greyed out, and 'Create Archive' is also greyed out. If I try to Import any of these files to FCPX by establishing an Events Folder, I can't because, again, the files are listed greyed out and can't be selected for import. So the question is: What are the steps for importing or creating an archive of files on a Compact Flash card, please? I am running Mountain Lion with a 27" 2.66Ghz, Quad core iMac with 1 x 3Tb, 1x 1.5 Tb, 1x 1Tb plus 1 x 75 0Gb Ext Hds
    Thanks to all who can help
    James

    Thanks Tom - I suspected that the case would be "FCPX does not support files recorded on a Flash card - ah, well ..... back to FCE - or - a new camera
    Thanks for your help.

  • Bridge CC freezes when downloading from CF Card .MOV files

    I have had a consistant problem since using Bridge CC.  I insert a CF Card to the ready and Bridge CC downloader automatically comes up.  The CF Card often contains JPG, CR2 and .MOV files.  No conversion or other edits are occuring accept for name change.and copyright meta data.  When the download comes to the Canon  5D Mii .MOV file it freezes and wont proceed.  I in fact have to pull up the Task Manager and stop the application to close it.  I am able to use Explorer to browse and down load all the movie flies, just not through Bridge CC - Any ideas?

    The same problem is happening to me when trying to access a shared/network drive...
    You mean trying to get .mov files from a network?? Otherwise try starting a new thread for this problem. Also be aware that Adobe officially does not support use for Bridge over a network due to the many set ups that are possible. Some get it to work with great care and understanding, others don't succeed.
    Bridge also by default has user based cache libraries and you also should have the correct permissions for the things you try to access.

  • Downloading from memory card in PSE 6

    I was successfully downloading using the Adobe downloader but now I get a message "Failed to load plugins required to get media from devices." I tried to do reinstall/repair but the install wizard wouldn't recognize that the PSE 6 disk was in the drive and stalled with the message to insert the disk. Any help would be much appreciated.
    (I have a 4 year old HP, 1G of RAM, xp operating system.)

    When I try to download photos from my memory card I get a message "failed to load plugins required to get media from device." I have tried to set the preferences but my card reader is not listed. I can't even get to the photo downloader page to make any changes. The photos will download to my pictures, then I have to import them from there, but I can't get them to download directly to Photoshop elements. I have been fighting this for hours....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • My android tablet won't play videos in a PDF after downloading from flash archive

    I downloaded an interactive PDF and there is a video on the last page that won't play on my tablet, but plays on my computer. I downloaded the latest version of Flash from the adobe archives, as well as an updated reader. Any ideas on what I can do to make the video play?

    You cannot use Flash content in PDFs on Android, even if you manage to install the obsolete Flash for Android from somewhere. It just isn't supposed to work.
