Importing pics from my device to my computer

Hi Everyone,
I have had my Tour 9630 for years and never had a problem importing pics until yesterday. I can see the pics I want to import on my phone but when I connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software, they don't show up in the "Pictures" tab under "Media Sync" I get the following message, "There are no pictures to import from your device"
Also, when I connect the USB cable from the phone to the Tour, I also get this message, "Do you want to turn on Mass Storage Mode? You might not be able to access some media files in this mode" This is the first time that I have seen this message.
One last item, I went to Wal-Mart on Sunday (24 MAR) and using my micro card in their machine, printed one pic. This is where I believe my problem started because it seems the Desktop Software can read the micro card any more. Can anyone out there get me back to the point where I can import my pics again using the BlackBerry Desktop Software? Also, is there a USB type device out there that I can insert my micro card into and download my pics until I resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
1Lonewolf

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I can't tell you why the Desktop Software stopped working for you...I personally never use it for that purpose at all. Rather, I use Mass Storage Mode, which allows me to treat my BB as a USB drive (2 drives, if there is a media card in the BB) from my Windows computer...allowing me to drag/drop all files that I desire to/from the BB in any manner I choose.
If you want to pursue that, refer:

There are many types of USB SD card readers available for computers. Some are large devices, internally installed into the PC. Others are an adapter with a USB plug on one end, and an SD Card Slot on the other. And there are many variations in between. You should shop for a USB SD Card reader device and choose the one that best meets your needs for price and capability.
Good luck!

  • I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything.  possible to reverse this?  options?  restore hd from time machine?  pls help!!!

    long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder.  is it possible to reverse this?  what are my options?  restore hd from time machine?  
    a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd.  does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup?  this is confusing to me.
    another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates!  what's up with that? 
    I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite.  the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop.  also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help. 
    any advice would be appreciated! 
    thanks!!

    thanks for replying. 
    the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do.  it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes.  it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
    do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop?  and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from?  sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy. 
    i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'? 
    as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder.  was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything.  once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto.  this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over.  it will basically be a lot of deleting.
    one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck.  :-) 
    thanks again, for your help.

  • New Computer, is there any way to import songs from an ipod to a computer?

    My computer doesn't have the songs from my old computer so I was wondering if there was a way to import songs from an iPod to a computer, because if I update my iPod now, all of my songs will be lost.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button.   I have to force quit Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button.  Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button.  The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload.  It has never done that before.  It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
    It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open.  I have to force quit aperture.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Trouble importing pics from Canon Powershot

    I am not able to import pics from a Canon Powershot S400 even though I was able to do this before on my iBook G4. I have iPhoto version 5.0.4 and Mac OSX 10.4.10. The iBookG4 is recognizing the Canon, the number of pics to be
    imported but does not progress any further. If you click Stop Import an error message comes up that the pics are unreadable. I am able to download them however, on an earlier version (iPhoto 4.0.3) on another laptop.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

    How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

    You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    Here is one such utility.

  • Trying to import pics from iphoto to imovie- can't import the PSE modified pictures.  I see them in iphoto.

    Trying to import pics from iphoto to imovie- can't import the PSE modified pictures.  I see them in iphoto however they don't appear in the thumbnails in imovie.

    Drag the PSE modified pictures from iPhoto to the Desktop. Open them in Preview then save as jpegs (File > Export - then choose Format JPEG). They may already be .jpg files, but are not readable by iMovie. Exporting them from Preview may fix this. Import the saved files to iPhoto - they should now work in iMovie.
