How do i only download certain pictures from my camera?

everytime i hook up my camera it tries to download all of my pictures... how do i only get the ones i need?

Hi.
Ignore iPhoto's initial 'ready to import...' screen. Instead, choose File > Import to Library. There you'll get a navigation dialog. If your camera mounts on the Desktop like an external drive (it appears in the left column of a Finder window, below your Hard Drive) then you can navigate to the camera, preview the files, and select only the ones you wish to import.
If your camera does not mount on the Desktop (most Canons don't) then you can mount the card by using a USB card reader.
Or, use the multi-step method where you launch Image Capture, "Download Some" to a Desktop folder, import into iPhoto, and delete the Desktop folder. This method allows you to browse the files on your camera even if it doesn't mount on the Desktop.
A general Mac technique that works in the Finder, iPhoto, and many apps:
Shift-click to select a contiguous range of items;
Command-click to select or deselect discontiguous items.
About Image Capture: Command-click works if your put the window in 'List' view.
Regards.

You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

I am unable to download my picture from my camera canon eos 70d to my computer.

I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD MY PICTURE FROM CAMERA CANON EOS 70D TO MY COMPUTER. I HAVE INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FROM CANON EOS SOLUTION DISK 28.2.

"...The question then came up whether repeated removal/insertion of the card (in the computer and camera) might eventually wear out the contacts on the card, or worse the camera..."
Yes, there will be wear and tear over time. It also is possible to force a card into the slot crooked and damage the socket.
Are these much of an issue?
In my opinion, no. I change memory cards fairly frequently (mostly Compact Flash, which are probably the most easily damaged), sometimes use 12 or 15 memory cards in a day's shoot and have been doing that shooting digitally for ten years... And have never had even one card wear out or managed to damage a card or socket myself.
Note: I have pulled a card out too quickly, while it was still writing, and lost about 1/3 of the images on the card... Once! I also have had one "bad card" right from new, from a major manufacturer. Three other identical cards are working fine.
I do have one older DSLR with a "bent pin" in the Compact Flash socket.... But I bought it that way for $15 in hopes of fixing it. Unfortunately I think the particular pin that got bent managed to short out some of the other electronics in the camera, so it's probably not practical to fix (makes a nice paperweight). I've seen other cameras, particularly those using Compact Flash memory, with bent pins. Some were pretty easily fixed. Others needed a new socket or more.
Just looking at the posts on various discussion forums, I suspect it's a much more frequent issue for the USB cable or the USB socket in the camera to wear or get damaged. Plus camera batteries are only good for a certain number of charge/discharge cycles (I've heard 400X is typical, but don't really know).
So personally I'd be more concerned about directly linking the camera with the USB cable and leaving the camera powered on while downloading.... Feel better just pulling the memory card and using a card reader.

I am a senior citizen newbie to apple. I have just downloaded my pictures from my camera. How do i remove my usb port from my mac pro without damaging anything?

I am a senior citizen newbie to apple. I have just downloaded my pictures to my Mac Pro. How do I remove the usb port without damaging anything. I know I shouldn't just pull it out.

The iphone is a "plug and play" device. It is safe to unplug it without "ejecting it". If you want to be sure it is safe open itunes and under devices next to your iphone you should see the eject symbol like a line with an up arrow above it, click that. Once you no longer see the iphone listed under devices it'll be safe to remove.

New iPad 2 16mb; how do I sync (download) selectively - pictures from iPhoto and music from iTunes? Or do I have to download all? I only have 16 mb on my iPad 2.?

My new iPad 2 has only 16 mb. I have hundreds of pix on my MacBook Pro laptop iPhoto and I don't know how many mbs of music on my iTunes. I haven't sycned my new iPad with my MacBook Pro yet because I fear I will overrun the available space I have on the iPad. Is there any way to selectively download pix and iTunes to the iPad?

You should have 16 GIG on yourr iPad, not 16 meg
When you hook them up to iTunes select to 'manually manage music and videos' and that will allow you to choose what bits and pieces you can put on your device.

I have photoshop CS 4 extended. Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7. When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg. I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work. How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?

You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files. THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
Or you can upgrade.

How do you delete only certain pictures from the photo library on the iphone 5?

I just purchased an iphone 5. I would like to know how you delete only certain pictures from the photo library. You can delete from camera roll, but not photo library!! There are duplicate pics and ones that I don't even want on my phone.

Your photo library is a complete list of all photos on your phone, including the camera roll and any albums you've created.
Therefore it will always duplicate photos in your camera roll.
The images are simply links, not additional copies of the photo

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.

If I wanted to download my pictures from my iphone to my MAC without allowing upload from the MAC of old pics and without utlizing icloud how do I go about it? Thank you!

Hi all!
I was trying to download my pictures from my iphone to my MAC for storage so that I can erase them off my iphone but could not find an easy
was to do this? The whole sync operation seems cumbersome and only allows you to upload photos from your MAC to your iphone - but that is the
exact opposite of what I need! Also I have many pics so I don't want to use iCloud. All I want is just to take the pics from iphone and download
them to my MAC? Am I asking for too much ? Can anyone help me?
Cheers

How do i download a picture from my scanner and put it on photoshop thank you

how do i download a picture from my scanner and put it on photoshop thank you

You don't "download" anything, and you don't put anything "on Photoshop".
You save your image in your scanning application using whatever file format supported by Photoshop you want (PSD, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, etc.), and save it in whatever folder on your computer you want.
Then you use Photoshop to open your image file wherever you put it.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Here is a quote from a longtime and dedicated Apple OS user.
"The warning will be helpful to others, though it boggles the mind to read that someone who uses CS5, or any version of Photoshop, would want to bother with iPhoto—ever.
The "problem" is not Bridge's but Apple's iPhoto. It is iPhoto that hides your images in packages."

How can I download my pictures from my Ipad (ios 8.1.3) to to my computer (windows 7) either directly thru a USB cable or indirectly with a SD card? I have lost important pictures on the computer. Most of them are intact on my I Pad. I am aware that I-Cloud is an option, but would rather do it another way.

use the Windows Photo import with the lightning-to-USB cable.
