Help needed to see photos on my USB Flash Drive

How do I view the contents of my USB Flash Drive, on my MacBook Pro, please? Also, can I add more photos to the ones already there?

Your USB Flash Drive should function like any other volume once it's connected to your computer and mounted by the file system. Just drag whatever picture you want to see on top of whatever application you want to use to view it (Preview works well for this). If you want to copy a photo from your Mac, just drag it from its current location in the Finder right on top of the USB Flash Drive's icon on your Desktop.

  • How to save your photos to a usb flash drive

    Hi, I was wondering how I can remove my Photos using a usb flash drive. I know I can save them in the Cloud and prefer not too. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

    You're going to need a computer to do this, no direct way. For instance you could send them to Dropbox, then from there use a computer to download the files from Dropbox to a flash. Or use a WiFi transfer App on the iPad to send the photos to a computer than has the desktop version of the App, and then copy to flash drive.

  • Transferring photos from a USB flash drive to Mac Lion

    I managed to salvage some photos from my old Windows Vista laptop and get them onto a small flash drive, before my laptop pegged out.
    But when I plug it into the USB port on the Mac, I dont see any Icon and no recognition of it. 
    How do I find it and get the photos into Iphoto ? or is it not possible to transfer photos from a flash drive to a Mac ? 

    you open finder it's the dark blue and light blue 1/2 faces
    there you go to the usb drive and mark the photos and copy them to where you wish
    on the mac hd and then add them to iphone should you wish

  • I received our wedding photos on a USB flash drive from our professional photographer. I am trying to get these photos on my ipad 4.

    I have enough room on my ipad for all 600 photos.
    I have tried to sync the photos through iTunes by choosing the USB drive on my computer. The folder appears empty.
    I have purchased a lightning to USB camera kit and nothing happened once I plugged the USB into the ipad.
    I thought since the lighting to SD card reader I've been using with my camera works maybe I'll try uploading a photo or two onto the SD card and use the lighting to SD card reader and do it that way. I see the photo I chose on the camera when the SD card is inserted into my desktop, but once I insert it into the camera kit on ipad it doesn't show up. The other photos I have taken show up but not the ones I copied over onto it show up.
    I wonder if our photographer saved the photos in such a way to prevent me from syncing them? I have permission and the rights to use them so that's probably unlikely. The photos are saved as jpegs.
    My other thought is maybe the photos are too large in size to upload onto the ipad? Is there a limit? Under properties they are listed around 400kb and 1800x1200 in dimension.
    Please help! I'm wanting to make a photo book for the holidays as a gift with one of the ipad apps.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Kat U,
    Many thanks for your question today.
    I am happy to assist you in this process and this method of helping you today will not involve you using your Camera Connection Kit from Apple.
    This method of downloading images onto the iPad requires the following items:
    The USB
    A computer/Mac with a USB Port
    The iPad
    iTunes (preferably iTunes 11, but it won't make much difference if you have iTunes 10)
    Before we start I have based this resolution on the basis that you use:
    iPad 4 with iOS 7.0.0 or better
    iTunes 10 or better
    Mac OS X Mountain Lion or better or Windows 7 or better
    Here are my steps to resolve your issue:
    Insert the USB drive into your computer and then go into the folder in windows explorer or finder where the images are saved on your USB.
    Save all the images from the USB under one folder on your own folder in your document/image folders (not on the USB). On the Hard Drive
    Remove your USB stick from your computer
    Insert your iPad with the lightning connector into your Mac/PC.
    When iTunes pops up click on the iPad icon/textbox - it may say (i.e. Name's iPad). (If iTunes does not pop up open it up manually by clicking twice on the icon on your desktop or Dock Taskbar).
    Click on Photo's Tab and the tick the tick box for: sync photos from
    Click my pictures (located next to sync photos from), then navigate around your folders until you choose the folder where you copied your images from the USB stick to and once you have found the folder click select folder.
    Press sync.
    Go to your iPad once it has synced and log in, click on photos then albums (located bottom right of the menu/screen) then click on the Album of the images - (its name will be what the Album's name was on your computer).
    Your images should be located there.
    If this resolution does not work, you have three other options
    Try the solution provided by the gentleman above using the Camera Connection Kit
    Call Apple - American number is 1800-MY-APPLE (1800-692-7753) and go through to AppleCare for iPad
    Take the USB and iPad to your closest Apple Store and get a Genius to look and possibly fix the problem.
    Many Thanks for your question and allowing me the time to possibly resolve your issue. I hope to hear from you soon regarding this issue.

  • Time Maching backup and USB flash drives problem with TC

    I have a time capsule that is currently backing up my computer for the first time. I want to add a USB hub to the USB port so I can add my flash drives and setup a printer wirelessly. I plugged in one of my flash drives into the USB port and a folder popped up that was titled "NO NAME". Is there any reason why TC isn't recognizing this as a disk and letting me move files to/from the flash drive. Additionally, is there anyway to backup the day-to-day Time Machine files to the flash drives instead of to the TC, or would this not be recommended?
    Thanks to all who can help!

    I have successfully mounted a USB flash drive but had to first reformat and name it using Disk utility. I am also using a USB hub with an external 750G drive attached through the USB hub.

  • Installing Leopard from USB flash drive

    Basically i need to install Leopard from a USB flash drive on my Macbook, but i will sum up my issue: (I'm afraid i'm not a computer-"geek", so bear with me when i try to explain the issue :-))
    My macbook hdd recently died on me, so put in a new, clean hdd. I now need to install Leopard on the new hdd from a DMG-file.
    So, i have an 8GB USB flash drive and DMG-file of Leopard.
    I formatted the USB flash drive to NTFS, and copied the 6+GB DMG-file onto the flash drive.
    I tried booting from the flash drive by holding down the option key, but a blank screen shows up with a mouse pointer. There is no Flash drive or install icon to select.
    Can anyone tell me, what i'm doing wrong?

    Hi Dweepe;
    On top of everything else the other posters pointed out, I would suggest that formatting the USB flash drive to NTFS is not doing you any favors either. NTFS is a propriety file system from Microsoft which the Mac can only read with special software install.
    My suggestion is to replace your optical drive. A new one can probably be purchased for much less then the problems you are creating for yourself in your attempts to work around replacing it.

  • Needs help in creating Toshiba XP recovery cd to USB flash drive(stick)

    Hello,
    I am using a Toshiba netbook 100
    Operating system - XP home Edition.
    No optical drive included.
    There's extra hardrive in netbook
    I need help how to create a
    Toshiba XP recovery CD to USB flash.
    (this file is big-- 7.7GB !!)
    the primary boot order is set to USB Memory
    There is a guide at this link
    http://www.gtkdb.de/index_7_544.html
    but it is for ubuntu Operating system
    and besides it so "techy" for me to understand.
    I will be much grateful for a simplified version
    I have tried to use some applications
    like:
    - IsotoUSB  
    - UNetbootin, Universal Netboot Installer--
    - YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer)..
    - Xboot - Multiboot USB/ISO utility (have not done yet)
    I was not successful in creating a recovery CD to USB
    in ISOtoUSB and UNetbootin.
    YUMI utility, however, has successfully created a USBflash recovery
     but my netbook did not respond.
    By the way, I was able to reformat this netbook by using
    another XP oem--for temprary reasons as
    I cannot extract the XP from Toshiba recovery CD.

    help me how to create a

  • Help needed with the installing from a USB drive

    Hi, My HD failed and will not boot on my A665-3DV. I was able to retrieve all the data from both the partitions to another computer. I copied the data from the HDDRecovery partition to the USB flash drive. How do I use that data to install to a new HD?
    Please help. Thanks!

    It's not really hidden. You can connect the hard drive to an external device like coolmax (Coolmax CD-350-COMBO USB to IDE/SATA Device Adapter) which plugs in to a USB port on any PC. You can view the contents in explorer just as any other external HD.
    Of course it took me a while to make the HD work (I beat the S**T out of it on the sides every time it didn't work). It took me a few days to get all the content out of it. It still would not work if I plugged it back into the laptop. 
    I made my flash drive bootable (http://www.ehow.com/how_5215265_make-bootable-flash-drive.html) 
    Copied the contents of the HDDRecovery partition to the flash drive and I was good to go.
    Hope that helps!!

  • My iPhoto photo library disappeared after I used a SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB Flash Drive

    Hi! Not sure if these 2 things are connected, but I bought a SanDisk Cruzer 32GB USB Flash Drive. I dragged my documents over and copied them on to the flash drive. I didn't have iPhoto open. I didn't drag any applications, photo library folders, or anything else over to the flash drive. I just dragged over 3 file folders of work and personal documents (MSWord, Excel, etc.) over to the flash drive. It took some time to copy all my documents over, so I left it overnight.
    The next day, I decided it might be a good idea to also back up my photos from iPhoto. Interestingly enough, nearly all my photos had been deleted--save for photos from the last 3 - 4 weeks or so. That's right, a decade worth of photos were gone. I went online, Googled the problem, looked through this community and verified that I did not accidentally import one library into another or move (or delete) the backup iPhoto Library folder or anything. I even checked the flash drive. Nothing. Just the 3 folders worth of documents that I'd copied over.
    Has anyone heard of a flash drive somehow corrupting or deleting photos from an iPhoto library?
    I'm stumped. I have dug through other regular folders where I'd stashed some .jpgs so I could burn a CD for family, so I have put back about 338 photos from a library of thousands of images (some which are, of course, irreplaceable). The irony is that this last year, I'd been scanning in photos from actual physical photo albums to digitize them and have them handy on iPhoto... not knowing that they would disappear. And, of course, the double-irony is that I was using a thumb drive to back up my photos when they disappeared. If I wasn't so bummed, I'd be laughing right now.

    Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
    One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
    When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
    When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...

  • Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

    Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

    Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
    I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

  • 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.
