I cannot read my SD photo card on my MacBook Air. It is in DCIM format. Suggestions?

You gave no indications IF or when it was working or with which Mac before this, .....SD card failure is somewhat 'common'
Verify with another SD card first.
Are you now stating that you cannot format your SD card? As mentioned above, format the SD card in your Camera, not on your Mac

IPhoto cannot read my Kingston 8GB card

I posted an issue under iMac
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17073733#17073733
that probably should have been posted to this iPhoto community. I have a new Kingston 8 GB SD card that formatted fine in my Canon SD-1200 digital camera. The problem is I cannot get the card to mount on my Apple iMac running OS X 10.7.2 with iPhoto 9.2.1. What is weird is I can get my wife's Apple MacBook Pro to mount the card.
My iMac does not not have card slot so I have to use an iConnect USB adaper that works fine on the iMac with a Kingston 2 GB SD card. I maintain iPhoto on on the iMac so I am dead in the water because I cannot get the iMac to mouth the Kingston 8 GB SD card
I now suspect the iConnect SD Card Reader/Writer may be the weak sister

I agree the weak sister is the iConnect SD Card Reader. As a test the 8 GB Kingston SD card can be read using the card reader slot on the Mac Book Pro; however, the same MBP cannot read the 8 GB card using the iConnect Reader.
I pulled this data from the MBP's System Information and it looks like the Alcor Micro Corp device is the problem child. Maybe Santa will put a new reader in my stocking

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?

Is there a way I can stop

No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

Sorry for the second post..
I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
To do that;
1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
2. Select Show Package Content.
3. Click on the Originals Folder
4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

I have a problem with transfering photos from iPad to MacBook Air, how do I go about doing that?

Photos from iPad to MacBook Air, I am currently trying to use my USB cord to transfer photos, but how?

You can only import photos in the camera roll, not synced photos. So I assume that you want to transfer the photos that you shot with the iPad camera. You can use iPhoto or Image Capture on the MBA.
Just connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two apps. Your iPad should appear under the devices heading in the left sidebar of the app. Click on the iPad name just like you do when you sync with iTunes and the camera roll photos should appear in the window on the right.

I'd like to transfer the photos from iPhone to MacBook Air. My iPhoto used to detect my iPhone automatically, but it doesn't happen anymore. How could I fox this? Thanks for helping!

I'd like to transfer the photos from iPhone to MacBook Air. My iPhoto used to detect my iPhone automatically, but it doesn't happen anymore. How could I fox this? Thanks for helping!

Check the iPhoto preferences:
From the main menu bar: iPhoto > Preferences > General:
"Connecting camera opens" : Set this option to "iPhoto".
If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I cannot download photoshop cs5 extended to my new MacBook Air os x version10.8.4. I just purchased

I cannot download photoshop cs5 extended to my new MacBook Air os x version10.8.4. I just purchased the program about one year ago.

Your new mac doesn't have a dvd drive or you don't have a dvd, but need the photoshop cs5 program?
Did you buy photoshop cs5 or photoshop cs5.1?

How to disable the graphics card of my macbook air please?

how to disable the graphics card of my macbook air please?

I'm guessing there is a language issue here. The graphics card is the actual hardware (chip) in your computer that allows it to create graphics and show them on your display. There is no way to disable the graphics card on your Air because there would be no way to use it (it would not be able to display anything on any display). This is a little different on machines with multiple graphics processors, but that's not the case with your Air. I'd imagine you know what you want to do, we're just having trouble understanding your question.

PSE 12 cannot read Inov8 8GB SDHC card

Am using Nikon D80 and this card worked fine, took a lot of photos, but now I find that Photoshop Elements 12 cannot read the card.
Any advice, please ?
MCO

Are you taking the card from the camera and putting it in a card reader, or connecting the camera directly to the computer?
As PSE uses your hardware to read the card the most likely problems are a faulty card, faulty card reader, faulty connector cable or socket.
Try connecting the card by a different method (e.g. if plugging your camera in, remove the card and plug it into a card reader, or vice-versa).
Are you able to try to read the card on a different computer? If so with what result?
Cheers,
Neale

Can I backup my external SD Card(on my Macbook Air) to my Airport/Time Capsule

Just purchased Airport and was successful setting up Time Capsule to back up my Mac Air and Mac desktop....Regarding my Macbook Air, I had to use the external port and keep a 128GB SD card there for my iTunes and iPhoto library to save space...When I try to select it to be excluded in the Time Capsule preferences window, it will not allow me to highlight it...I can see it...I just can't select it..Help?

When I try to select it to be excluded in the Time Capsule preferences window, it will not allow me to highlight it...I can see it...I just can't select it.
This happens when a drive is not formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Perhaps you forgot to format the drive when it was new before you added data?
Time Machine will only back up a drive that is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), also known as HFS+.

Cannot get migration assistant working from PowerBook to MacBook Air - what am I doing wrong?

Hello out there,
I am proud possessor of a new MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.7. Up to now, I used a PowerBook with Mac OX X 10.4.11. Although the two macs - old and new one - are connected via the same WLAN network, I cannot get the migration assistant going. The two cannot find each other, although they are only 5 centimetres apart....what am I doing wrong? Do I need an update for the PowerBook? And if yes, which one? Or should I give up?
Thank you so much for your help, greetings from sunny Munich, Evelyn

Maybe you need this update for 10.4.11 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3174
