IPhoto Pics - Sony ProDuo Memory Stick Problem

I have a Mac mini. Using a Sandisk Micromate Reader to plug a Sony 4 GB ProDuo Memory Stick into the USB port, I transferred ~200 jpegs from iPhoto to the memory stick's DCIM folder and could see them just fine via my computer after the transfer. But when I mailed the memory stick back to my son, he not only couldn't see any of those pictures I'd downloaded--but also could no longer see the pictures he'd taken and sent me. He says the memory stick appears empty, but I know it's not. What does he/I need to do so he can see them both on his Sony Cyber-Shot camera and a computer? Thanks.

This is not an iPhoto issue but a general operation issue or a Sony issue
In general camera's require a very specific format for their memory and if there is some small error in that the camera does not see the photos - If you want to send photos to him I suggest taht you simply export those photos to a desktop folder and drag that folder to a cleanly formatted memory stick = he should be able to load those onto his computer  --  he will not be able to see them on his camera - to do that you need to work with Sony support to get the required format exactly correct

  • HELP: iPhoto 6.0.6 memory usage problem, iMac getting *slow*

    Hi,
    I have a 20" iMac with 2 Gig RAM.
    I have iPhoto 6.0.6 with lots and lots of pictures and little movies (taken with an old digital camera) -- a "get info" on the "iPhoto Library / Originals" folder says there are 9836 items in there.
    When I open iPhoto, the Activity Monitor indicates iPhoto is using 130meg real memory, 130meg virtual memory. With every "page down" in iPhoto (the thumbnails are running about 6 items across) about 50 meg of memory gets added to real memory, and even more gets added to virtual memory.
    After just a few minutes of usage it now looks like this:
    Real Memory: 382.43 MB
    Virtual Memory: 1.18 GB
    Eventually the computer gets extremely slow and unresponsive; I've seen the iPhoto memory usage as high as:
    Real Memory: 1+ GB
    Virtual Memory: 2+ GB
    Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can fix this problem?

    I have to say that the Virtual Memory numbers compare quite okay with both my Macs here, the Actual Seems slightly higher but noting spectacular. That said, the highest you’ve seen do see quite extraordinary.
    Something to try:
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and make a library there. Import some pics and see if the problem is repeated there.

  • How can I import pics from a memory stick?

    I am trying to import my pictures from a flash drive or memory stick and it keeps telling me that it's not supported. This is my first mac by the way...

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Try to import the photos from the memory stick.
    If that fails make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • PSP Memory Stick problem

    Hi,
    Every time I connect my PSP to my iMac the PSP folder on the memory stick gets erased and I have to reformat the memory stick. It even happens if I put the memory stick in a card reader?
    My PSP has firmware 2.7
    Any ideas?

    Anyone have a similar problem or a solution?

  • "File exits" Message on iPhoto When Saving on Memory Stick

    "File exists" message pops up when exporting photos to a memory stick.  Sure enough, there are two different photos, but the same IMG file number (JPG).  So I changed the number to the non used number manually, but the same message pops up.  Why?  I have 8GB stick and I am trying to upload just my grandson's photos to the stick so that I can give it to my daughter.  Those photos have been taken in the last two years (so approx 800 photos).

    Couple of possibilities here
    1. Most memory sticks are formatted one of the MS FAT formats. These have a limit to the number of items that can be on the top level of the disk. So, export to a folder on the desktop and drag that to the disk.
    2. FAT formas cannot deal with older Mac file structures. IN the past, Mac files looked to FAT disks like two different files, so you would get two files apparently with the same name. To solve this you use an app like
    http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest/
    to remove the Resource fork of the file.

    bejon2000,
    Good point bejon,
    I re-read the article and this what it says: " ....If you remember, older Athlon 64 processors based on 130nm cores didn’t support 4 double-sided DDR400 SDRAM modules working at 400MHz frequency at all and reduced their frequency to 333MHz automatically. The today’s processors based on 90nm cores offer us a few better solutions. The D core revision also known as Winchester allows using four double-sided DDR400 memory DIMMs if the Command Rate timing is set to 2T."
    From what you posted the Winnie D core CPU may need a little TLC and voltage boost. but it should run 4 X double sided 512 sticks at DDR 400 and 2T. Venice or later core may not need such TLC or voltage boost but still need manual  selections in BIOS Cell menu.
    Thanks for pointing this out,

  • Satellite M60-104 - memory card reader does not read memory stick pro duo

    Hi guys,
    the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
    I know it should read memory stick pro but not sure about pro duo.
    Can you help me please?

    Hi
    >the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
    Of course this could be normal behavior because not all cards are compatible and supported.
    I would recommend taking look into the user manual because there you can find a information which cards can be used in the notebooks card reader!!!

  • IPhoto won't import from Sony memory stick reader...

    I have successfully imported from Lexar firewire cf reader, but when I plugged in my USB memory stick reader - iphoto doesn't respond. I do see "MSAC-US1" in the hardware overview of system profiler - which is the reader. When i put in a full memory stick, the reader lights as if it is talking with the computer - but the stick doesn't mount on the desktop, iphoto ignores it completely, as does disk utility.
    I just upgraded to the latest version of iphoto and am using a new intel iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Eric
    intel iMac, ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iphoto 6.02

    I have the same problem. MSAC-US1, always worked before with iPhoto; I upgraded to a MacBook Pro, and now it doesn't work. The Access light momentarily lights up on the MSAC-US1, but the stick doesn't mount on the desktop. The device does show up in System Profiler, just as you noted.
    It looks like the Intel version of the OS doesn't have support for this device - which is a huge problem, especially since it is listed as a device on the iPhoto Supported Devices page.
    Apple, are you monitoring this discussion? Time to fix this bug!

  • IPhoto Won't Transfer to Memory Stick

    I'm transferring pictures from IPhoto to a Memory Stick, I get about half way through and an error message comes up "unable to create"  I've done this thousands of times with no problems.  I used three different flash drives and merged them into one event.  It's 154 pictures all together & only about 88 transfer.  HELP!

    memory sticks are formatted FAT and hold a very limited number of files - export the photos to a desktop folder and drag that folder to the memory stick - delete the desktop folder after the transfer is successful

  • Sony TG3 / ADVHC / Memory stick / Disc Image

    Hi there!
    I have a Sony TG3 (love it!) and iMovie 08 happily converts the ADVHC files. Of course once converted the files are HUGE so I am going to start deleting the originals after I've burned the movie to DVD. The thing is I want to keep the original Memory Disc files in their original format and after reading that I could simply save the Memory Stick as a Disk Image I tried this and it worked a treat!
    Here's the problem; the mounted Disc Image is seen by iMovie and allows me to import just as if it were the original Memory Stick (great!) but the Disk Image is simply called 'Untitled' and I am unable to rename it. What I would like to be able to do is to have all my Memory Sticks backed up as Disc Images on a hard drive but I will of course need to be able to identify them. How do I rename the Disk Image, or is this something that I need to do when I am creating the Disk Image? If so, how do I do this?
    I also realise that this entire situation could be simplified by using 4GB Memory Sticks and backing the Disc Image up to individual DVDs but I have a couple of 8GB and 16GB Memory Sticks too, and besides I think it would be neater to have everything on one drive.
    Any help appreciated, and many thanks!

    After much fiddling I have worked out that I was trying to save the mounted Disc Image instead of the .dmg file (silly mistake!). Turns out that I can bung all the .dmg files on a seperate drive and rename them anything I want as it's just the mounted image that calls itself 'Untitled' by default. I can live with that though.
    Would you advise me to use 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo cards in my TG3 instead of 8GB or 16GB? From a back up point of view I am guessing that the 4GB is easier since it could be backed up to DVD but I welcome any thoughts from other users.
    Many thanks!

  • How do i import photos/videos from sony memory stick pro duo stick to my imac

    I want to import photos from my Sony memory stick pro duo to iMac. My imac has SD card reader but not sure whether it reads photos from memory stick pro..
    i bought this iMac in May 2011. I believe this model doesn't support Memory stick pro..can some one clarify ..thanks.

    The short answer is.. No.
    You need one of these...
    ... Or if your Camera allows for it, you can connect your camera to your Mac via mini USB cable. iPhoto should open automatically once it detects that a Digital Camera has been connected.

  • How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
