Pictures from PC to Mac brings up a thumbs.db file!

I put pictures (from my PC) on a flash drive. When I open the drive, it only brings up a thumbs.db file. I can't open the pictures to save them on my mac. When I put the flash drive back in the PC, the pictures are there. Help! I know that thumbs.db files are unreadable by macs, but how can I access my pictures?

I was able to get the mac and pc to recognize the ip
address to get hooked. How do you identify the
addresses when you physically connect the two
machines via ethernet? My pc does not recognize the
mac? I hope the physical connection is faster file
transferring?
Have you just connected the two computers together with a cable without a router?
If so your PC may need a crossover cable.
However one way around this is to go to on the Mac
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
Share Internet (by whatever say Airport) by built-in-ethernet, this will effectively make your Mac a router and thus you will be able to find the IP address and transfer files.

If you want your photos to end up in iPhoto, just do a normal sync. If you don't want to use iPhoto, or if you just want to put your phone photos in a normal visible folder on the desktop, luckily when you plug in the iPhone a Mac sees it like a camera or card reader. This means the iPhone will show up in common applications that have an import-from-camera feature. I've copied photos off my iPhone using Apple Image Capture, PhoneView, and Adobe Lightroom, for example.

HHow can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive? Thanks.

Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

First launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, and see if you can upload the phiotos to a folder on the Desktop. If you can then import the folder into iPhoto.
Then reformat the memory card using the camera's format option, take a few test photos and try importing into iPhoto again.

Transferring pictures from phone to Mac Pro.

I would like to know how to transfer pictures from my Pantech Crux phone to my Mac Pro computer.

IPods have been designed by Apple to be a one way street. Mac to iPod, not iPod to Mac. That said, there is software available that addresses that issue. You may post your query on the iPod forum or search the discussions section for these forums and I am certain that you will find several options.
Ciao.

My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Changed from PC to mac and can't open some file

Mac store transferred my files from PC to mac when purchased iMac. frequently some of those files will not open and I receive this reason:
Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This also sometimes happens when I try to open a jpg. and those sometimes are files I have added myself from photos I added.
Is there any way I can recover these? Or should I just forget it and trash them?

Note, you don't need Adobe Reader to view PDFs in OS X. There is a built-in application called "Preview" which does an excellent job with PDFs. It is faster and it is more lightweight.
When you install Reader, it takes over PDF rendering in your web browsers and it sets itself to the default PDF reader.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I recommend you first try opening the PDFs with Preview, and see if you can open the files. If so, then it's probably a Reader issue. If not, the files are probably corrupt. You may wish to see if you can try transferring them again, if you still have access to them.
As far as JPEGs, Preview can also view them, so give it a try.
If Preview works, then definitely consider uninstalling Adobe Reader. It's a heavyweight, bloated, slow piece of crap.

When I try to transfer pictures from droid to Mac it does not transfer all videos

Not only have a ton of pictures just disappeared but when I try to copy all the pictures to my Mac it misses a bunch of videos. I don't know why.
This droid has a mind of it's own and has deleted a ton of pictures. Nothing helps. I just want to know why some of my videos are not being copied.

Hello,
I want to help you, I just need some further information. From previous posts I see you have an Incredible 2, is that correct? When you open the phone's hard drive on the computer, does it see all the videos on the phone? Are these all videos that were taken on the phone itself or downloaded from a different source?
If you haven't already, I would suggest transferring each video manually. You can also try using V Cast Media Manager to transfer the files. Here is the link to get the software: http://products.verizonwireless.com/index.aspx?id=fnd_mediaManager. Click on download desktop app, then choose Mac.
If you need any further assistance, let us know.

HT1338 get pictures from iphone to mac

Ive had my MacBook Pro since 2009 but only started using it a lot about a year ago. I need to figure out how to get my iphone photos over to my Mac. I started reading the support info but I don't have the iCloud icon on my apple preferences, instead it says mobileme. What's next. I'm afraid I'm so far behind I'll never catch up but buying a new mac isn't an option right now $$

If these are pictures that are in the Camera Roll, you connect the iPhone to the computer and import them. Not sure about any software requirements for the Mac, but on a Windows computer, connecting the phone triggers the import function in Windows.
