How do I download pictures off my camera onto my macbook

I am trying to download pictures office parents camera, Canon Powershot A710is. For some reason I can't even get my Mac to read that there is something connected to it. Help. Sorry this is so veague.

Personnaly I use Picasa, downloaded for free from google, as opposed to Iphoto.  Simply because Iphoto hides away any pictures you import.  I prefer to store my photos on an external drive that I can backup independantly!
Picasa should find your Camera Automatically when connected via USB, and you can set it to download into a directory of your choice and place pictures in folders by date!
All under YOUR control, which Iphoto seems to stop you doing these days.

  • How do I download pictures from my camera XD card to my Ipad?

    How do I download pictures from my camera using a XD card to my Ipad?

    You you mean "xD" like from an Olympus camera?  If so, then you have three choices:
    Sync camera to your computer by either USB or xD card reader.  Then sync pictures to iPad by USB cable.
    Attach camera by USB cable to iPad Camera Connection Kit.
    USB xD card reader inserted to iPad Camera Connection Kit.  Many readers will give an error that it draws too much power so this may or may not work.  (With a powered USB hub, then it may work, if you can deal with the inconvenience.)
    1 & 2 are arguably the simplest ways.  If you can find a card reader that does work with the CCK then 3 may be useful.  But all the xD card readers I can find are "multicard" readers and all the multicard readers I've tried will give the "too much power" error.  The only card reader I've gotten to work is a very old "single slot" CF reader.  It was USB1 and I suspect that was why it used less power and so no error message.  So 3 will probably be a lot of trial and error.

  • How to get downloaded pictures off my 4s

    I ahve an Iphone 4S. For some reason it likes to save pictures that I look at on Facebook. I cannot delete them. Does anyone know how I can get these off my phone?

    I have no clue, but don't think resolution is all that crucial.
    Even a low-res picture can help preserve an important memory. Or something that makes a good phone contact picture may likely also make a good avatar for flickr, twitter, etc, and it would not need to be full resolution for such purposes.
    Nothing taken with the iPhone is all that high-res anyhow. IIRC, pix assigned on the phone show up full-screen, so it's probably not as low-res as the teeny photo assigned on the desktop and transferred via sync.
    Incidentally, google turned up this method of retrieval, using the Mac:
    If you click "edit" on the contact's entry in Address Book and then double click inside their picture, it will appear as a somewhat bigger version, which you can copy with command-C. But it's a far cry from full-resolution.

    I can't test it, though, as I don't sync contacts, and really have no clue whether the iPhone sync contact pictures to Outlook on Windows, which I assume the OP uses.

  • HOW DO I TRANSFER PICTURES OFF MY IPHONE ONTO MY COMPUTER

    How do I transfer Photos from my Iphone to my computer?

    Depending on the computer OS platform that you use, you connect the iPhone to the computer and import the photos using whatever import utility on your computer that you would use to get pictures off a digital camera. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • Using a camera connector how do i get pictures off computer and onto the iPad please.

    I need to get pictures from a compter to my ipad. i have a camera connector kit but it does not seem to support a USB stick.. Ideas please, Thanks.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
     Cheers, Tom

    Please study this, then come back with more specific questions
    Learn Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe TV

    Use of the tools is pretty much the same in all versions of the program.
    "Edit" is a menu item in Photoshop Elements Editor. Don't you see this?

  • How do I download pictures from the computer to the ipad

    how do I download pictures from the computer to the ipad?
    I want to temporarily put pictures that I took from another camera that's on my desktop into my IPAD so I can carry it to another location and show off my pictures to friends and family?

    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you want more control over your photos (e.g. being able to sort them directly on the iPad and delete synced photos) then there are third-party photo apps such as Photo Manager Pro.

  • Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll. I also can't send a picture to a friends phone. One last question.......why do pictures freeze up on the screen and I have to hit the power button to go back to home screen. Thanks for any help.

    Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll?  I also can't send Pictures to someone else's phone. My picture seems to freeze up and I can't do anything, particularly delete the picture. I'm new to iPhone so I'm really just learning how this iphone thing works :)

    Did you recently start using iCloud to backup your photos?
    Wife had the same problem today.  Remembering that I had recently signed her up for more space on iCloud and started backing up her photos, I decided to roll the dice and turn that off.  Plug phone back into computer and *boom* I now have the option to delete.  Now I just have to figure out how I can do both = \

  • Downloading pictures from a  camera phone.

    How do you download pictures from a (Motorola RAZR ) camera phone?

    I use Bluetooth to transfer photos from my phone, which is a Sony Ericcson. It's so easy. My iMac has built in bluetooth and I can also use a cheapo bluetooth dongle with my iBook because the iBook doesn't have inbuilt Bluetooth. It plugs into the USB port.
    It's so easy, works automatically without a hitch. It's simply a case of browsing the device - your phone - navigating to the image folder on your phone and transferring them over.

    How do I get pictures off of my ipad?

    The easiest and most universal woudl be to look into an app like Dropbox, or there are photo transfer apps, I just don't use them so I'm not familiar. The apps would enable you to upload the photos off your iPad to storage on the internet, then you can download them to any computer.

  • I can't download pictures from my camera ( Canon EOS 1100D).

    Hi
    I can't download pictures from my camera ( CANON EOS 1100D) on my Macbook Pro.
    I can download pictures on other computers so it's not a cable problem.  I can connect memory sticks to the Mac, so it is not a USB port problem.
    I did install the software provided by Canon (after I tried to download pictures and noticed it does not work). Why doesn't my macbook pro recognise my camera ? Thanks. Leacoulet

    The prompt won't appear if the photos were originally synced from a computer, if they were taken with the iPhone then there are instructions on this page for how to disable/enable the prompt (the page is specifally about disabling the prompt, but it's the same process to enable it).
