That would depend upon the card reader, who makes it, and what their suppointing software does.  I happen to have an older ZoomIT SD card reader with a 30 pin dock connector.  The hardware maker provides an app for iOS that allows me to use the adapter with my iPhone 4 and I can open pictures from the SD card and view them.  I believe it even allows me to save teh image to my cameral roll if I want.  Since it does have the 30 pin dock connector, I need to use the Apple adapter to plug it into the Lightning port on my iPhone 5, but is still works just fine there too.
I also have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (30 pin version) but it is much more restrictive.  It only works with the iPad, and it only copies certain files form teh SD card to the iPad. (The files must be in the "/DCIM" folder on the SD card, the file name must be in the older DOS 8.3 file name format, and I believe it only woirks with JPG, and MOV files.  As you can see, the Apple device is built to let me view pictures from my point-n-shoot cmera on the iPad screen, whereas the ZoomIT allows copying of content to/from the SD card and an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
Now for the bad news, I don' tthink the ZoomIT reader is made any longer, and when you can find them, the sellers are usually charging close to $125 for them.

    Sync them as you would anything else.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT201471 can you download pictures from iPad to computer and keep a selected few on ipad

    I have downlanded photos from my Ipad to my computer before. I wonder if you can select the ones you want to download to the computer. I do want to save some of the photos on my IPad.

    The instructions you want will be in this article

    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.

  • I can't download pictures from my Nikon Coolpix 990 to IPhoto6.

    I can't download pictures from my Nikon Coolpix 990 to IPhoto6. The computer recognizes it on the UBS port but IPhoto won't. I have tried both direct input and using a media card without success. I think it did work a year ago but I'm not sure. That might have been an earlier version of IPhoto then. Any suggestions?

    First try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC) or the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), whichever is appropriate. Follow that by a repair of disk permissions and another reboot.
    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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Can I download pictures from my Kodak didgital camera directly to my HP

    Can I download pictures from my Kodak didgital camera directly to my HP or do I have to use the Kodak software?

    Hi ounce again Kathleensarah: Yes I belive you can as long as you have the right cable from camera to computer just follow windows pop ups from your task bar and the white box. The computer may make a search and download drivers and software for it. If you have the software that came with the camera that is better. I belive it will still open open the file. Plus I just check my computer HP Touchmart 600-1050 they have a slot where you put in memory card sd thing. That is located right side below volume switch can insert card what every they call flat thing that goes inside of cameras. Lap tops and Hp Printers have these same ports as well.

    It sounds like a configuration option.  I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum though.   Also please include which operating system you are using when reposting your inquiry.

  • How can I download pictures from my hard disk to my iPad

    How can I download pictures from hard disk to ipad2

    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 you can 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 - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad.
