I cannot transfer my photos from sd card to computer

i have numerous photos and videos on my sd card i can view them all on the phone but when i try to transfer them to the computer all i get is a orange flower thumbnail or a blue box but no photos or videos.
i have tried usb connected from phone to computer
removing sd card and placing into a sd card reader and then putting in computer.
transferring via moto,
the cloud
windows live photo gallery
the card seems to work great in the phone i just cant get any of the pictures or videos to download to the computer.
it does not give me any error messages just flowers or blue boxes where there should be a photo.
i looked through all the discussions but i couldnt find an answer.
thanks!!!

Have you clicked on one of the "flower" icons? That is Windows generic icon for a photo/picture. They may be transferring and you do not realize it. What is the file size of one of the "flower" files on your PC and phone?
Are you sure the photos and videos are on your SD card and not in the internal memory of your phone. Since you did not state which phone or OS version I don't know whether you're mounting your phone on your PC as a USB drive, MTP, or PTP. In any case connect the phone to your PC and look in both the internal memory and external SD card for the DCIM folder and see if your pictures are in there. Do the same for a Video folder. Drag them to your PC if found.
Another thought is your photos and videos may be stored in a cloud (Google+, Dropbox, etc.) and may not be on your phone, only thumbnails.

Cannot Transfer video footage from SD Card to Final Cut

I have a Panasonic SDHC 32GB card with footage that I can't seem to log and transfer from the card.
The only feature that they all seem to have in common is that they are long Clips (10min+), the smaller clips transferred just fine.
#1, 8, 9 ,10 and 12 clips are the clips that I haven't been able to transfer.
I know it's not the camera (An AG-HMC150P) as I filmed last week and my friend was able to transfer all the footage from my camera using FC into his computer.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank You
Leonardo

I believe it might have something to do with the audio as the clip transfers the video clips and right when it begins to transfer the audio that's when it says the transfer fails. (red icon with "!")

How to upload photos from memory card to computer on new Officejet 8500A Plus?

I recently replaced an older HP psc 2410 photosmart printer with a new Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer. The installation went fine without error messages, and it prints, scans and copies just fine. When I insert a memory card into the slot, the printer itself recognizes the files and displays them on the LCD screen and offers to print them. BUT ... what I want to do is upload the files to my PC (running Windows XP), and I can't figure out how to do it! There is no HP program that pops up and offers to transfer the photos like with my old printer. I was also expecting to see the card slots shown as a removeable drive like I did with my old printer, but I don't see them. Also, my Photoshop Elements program doesn't recognize the card slots either.
Then it dawned on me that my computer doesn't "see" the card slots because it's not connected directly to the printer! I set this up as a wireless printer and I am totally new to this, so pardon if this is a dumb question... but is there no way to transfer files from the card slot to the PC in a wireless setup?? I'm totally confused...
This question was solved.

Hi,
If your printer is connected thru network or wireless network, you have to access it thru the IP address.
Find out the IP address of the printer. You can do this by clicking on the network icon on the front panel of your printer.
Open Windows explorer and type \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the printer.
You'll see the memory card slot there.
You can do a "map network drive" to it if you want your printer card slot to be listed there permanently.

Transfer Photos fm Media Card to Computer

Is there a way to transfer photos from my installed 2-gig media card to my computer, besides emailing the photos?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Assuming you are on Windows:

Otherwise, for Mac:

Another way is to simply remove your media card from your BB device and use a media card reader on your computer (assuming the card is not encrypted, of course).
Good luck and let us know!

hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR sees every other drive. My computer sees it fine, so i was able to create a catalogue there. Im running windows 8.1. Any ideas ? I will also add that this drive became corrupt and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they didn't do a very good job.. ..

Yes pretty much that, but to clarify sorry
Opened Lightroom.
Create new catalogue.
This opened the Windows 8 file explorer window and Windows recognises the drive. So I was able to create a catalogue there and save.
I then inserted my memory card into my card reader which LR recognised. I selected it, chose all the photos within and then navigated to the right side of the Lr import dialogue window to locate this problem drive as on this occasion i want the RAW files on the same drive as the lrcat. However all my other drives are listed but not this Samsung SSD.
In addition this Samsung SSD is not listed a drive to import from in the same dialogue window.

By all means get iLife but just for the record you don't HAVE to use Apple's photo application;
there are many more around, quite a lot of them free.
This http://download.cnet.com/mac/digital-photo-software/?tag=rb_content;main
is a good site to look through for candidates - some will be free some shareware and some paid for.
Alternatively Kodak provides free photo software - navigate through this site to what's right for you:

I think its probably this one:

Transfer of photo from phone / camera to iPad

When i connect the HTC phone or my Samsung camera to the iPad by the camera connection kit, I get the message: Accessories are not available. Accessories connected use too much power. What is wrong?

Meaning that they are not compatible to the iPad and they use too much power to charge via USB charge from iPad. You can still transfer photos by computer. You transfer your photos from your phone to the computer, and then sync those photos to the iPad. Note: Synced photos cannot be deleted so if you want to delete you need a computer and iTunes.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location".. This has never happened before.

I can't import photos from a card, file or anything. I get "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have never had this happen before. I use a MacBook Pro

I also have the exact same issue. New IMac, installed LR, imported approximately 900 photos no problem, across the network from a Windows PC. The import stopped when the network connection was lost. Now I cannot import for the same reason "could not copy a file to the requested location". I have plenty of disk space and i have permission to the needed folders. I cannot even import from a folder already on the IMac.

Transfering photos from Sim Card to HP Computer unable to do so.

I am trying to transfer some photos from an SD card to my computer. I inserted card. Nothing happened.
Whats the next step?

Try this:
Remove SD card, turn off auto play, install SD card.

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

I can't import photos from microSD card.

I can't import photos from MicroSD card. I have an Android phone and it's getting too full. I have to import the photos into iPhoto ASAP. First I tried using the Android Transfer Files app to transfer the photos directly from my phone and it didn't work. So I inserted a microSD card into my phone and transferred photos onto that. Used a card reader through USB and still nothing. iPhoto shows absolutely nothing loading using either method. I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. My phone can't take anymore photos. I've contacted AT&T, Apple, Pantech, and Android and not a single person could help me. A guy from Pantech actually told me I should have got an iPhone. I told him if I could have afforded it I would have. NEED YOUR HELP PLEEEEEASE!!! Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Copy the photos from the card to a folder on the desktop. Then import them from there to iPhoto. If that works you can delete them from the card.
