Problems downloading Photos from 8900 smartphone

Hi
Im having problems downloading photos stored on an SD card from my BB to PC.
Ive looked at the other posts and turned on mass storage accordingly.
When I connect my BB to the PC using the USB link, the BB informs me the mass storage mode is being activated and requests a password, which I enter.
However, the BB does not appear in the Devices list in the My Computer screen on the PC.
Does anyone have ideas as to the problem??
I have lots of photos on there, so want to avoid sending dozens of mails to get the photos off the BB.
Thank you

Hi stuart_fraser,
Have you checked the Windows Device Manager to see if the BlackBerry and/or Mass storage device shows up? Also, the BlackBerry may show up in "My Computer" as a removable storage device.
Thanks

How do I download photos from my smartphone to my macbook?

Go to Settings ->iCloud->Photo Stream and turn it ON. This should send photos from your phone to your macbook. Mine show up in iPhoto. You must have Wifi also turned on your iPhone.

Problem downloading photos from iPhone to iPhoto on MacBook

I can't download photos from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto anymore. It comes up with an error message that says 'The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)' My software is up to date. The photos were taken on my iPhone, however there are also some photos that I have saved from other people who sent them as a text message. How can I save my photos please without loosing them? I have tried to save one image only, not all of them, and nothing work. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I am having problems downloading photos from my camera to iphoto 11

I am unable to download photos from my sony cybershot DSC-W170 and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 to iphoto11. The problem started when the colour wheel started spinning when iphoto opened after I switched on either camera and the programme became unresponsive. Subsequently when ever I then tried to open iphoto the colour wheel span and iphoto didn't respond, force quit the only way out.
After this happened the first time I rebuilt my library from timemachine (not the quickest process with around 9000 images), iphoto then opened okay and I could view libraries again.
I then downloaded the images directly from the camera sd card to my desktop and tried to drag the images into iphoto one at a time this worked but as soon as i tried to import the whole roll, the colour wheel popped up and iphoto became unresponseive again but I could view my libraries at least.
I then read about deleting the library cache which I did and restarted my mac (imac core duo 2ghz, running 10.6.8) I then tried to download from the sony cybershot again and I here am back at the start, with the colour wheel and iphoto not responding, I have just force quit and I can't open iphoto. Help!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Problems downloading photos from the camera to iPod

Last week I tried to download photos from the camera to my 60 GB iPod.
I had almost near 150 pictures (jpg) but something happened. The iPod (or the iPod Camera Connector) isn't able to transfer more than 60 photos (aprox.).
For bigger amounts, the tranfer speeds up and after finishing, I can't find the photos and I can't transfer photos anymore or listen to music o play videos.
Is there any restriction concerning photo transfer? What could be the problem?
Thanks.

As a matter of fact. After giving my camera a complete charge, I have had
no more problems
That is why a card reader is so useful. You do not have to wait for the camera to charge and avoid the kind of errors above.

Problems downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

All -- I'm running iPhoto 6 on a Mac Mini with the latest version of OS10. I have a Canon PowerShot G3 and shoot 4-megapixel JPEG photos, and AVI movies. Downloading photos from the G3 to the Mac is slow, and deadly slow (as is 15 minutes or more) when there's an AVI movie or two mixed in with JPEGs. I've had to abort several downloads when they just flat out stalled.
Today when downloading a total of 58 JPEGs and 6 AVI's I got an error message - "unreadable files". 51 JPEGS and 3 AVIs downloaded fine. 7 JPEGS and 3 AVIs didn't download. The error message says "The following files could not be imported. They may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data."
Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.

Isn't technology great? The more you learn, the more you need to learn more.
Have you viewed the iPhoto 6 tutorials? http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/new.html The section on Organizing, "Add Ratings, Titles and Comments" could be helpful.
Click on the little blue i on the lower left of the iPhoto window, and the Info Panel should pop up. Select a picture, and it shows the info for it. Select a film roll's name, and you can see and edit the info for the whole roll. Click on the roll's title in the info panel to highlight it and you can type in a new name. You can edit the date of the roll this way, and it will affect how your rolls are listed in the library. The dates "from" and "to" are generated by the dates of the items within the roll. If you type comments about a roll they will be shown below the roll's name in the library when the roll is closed. I like to keep rolls that match my camera cards, but they can be very large. So I use comments to list the events contained in the roll, so I know which roll to open when I want to find a specific photo.
If you view your library in Film Roll view then you see the rolls' names with a little triangle to the left. As in the Finder, clicking on the triangle to make it point right conceales the contents of (closes) an item, while clicking on it to turn it down reveals the items inside the item.
Now the hard part - all those dates. If the dates and times are totally wrong, I would use iPhoto's Batch change to correct them. However, only iPhoto will recognize this date change, because it won't correct the real problem, which is that the EXIF info is wrong for those pictures. There are ways of changing EXIF info which involve downloading other programs, running batch changes, and re-imprting into iPhoto. I've never done it, but I searched the iPhoto 6 forum for "EXIF rename file info" and restricted by user name Old Toad. Try this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1734147&#1734147 and note Old Toad's last post about PhotoInfo.
If you don't mind about the EXIF, then you can just redate them within iPhoto. Select a series of photos from the same date, then go to the Photos menu and select Batch Change. Select Set Date. Type the correct date and give a time for the first picture. To force iPhoto to maintain the same order within the series, check Add 1 minute between each photo. This way, although the times will be wrong, at least they will have the correct chronological sequence. (Or type in the times manually after the batch change if the order is not correct.) I always do this with rolls of actual film I get processed at a store. The photo CD I get never has the correct dates or times, so I add these to at least get them to display in my library in the correct order. As far as I know, you have to run a seperate batch change for each date that you want to change to. Unless you have a series with one photo for each day and wish to check "Add X Days between each photo."

Problems downloading photos from iPhoto to iPod 5G classic

Until recently I had no problems downloading my photo library to my iPod (~250 photos). However, the last couple of groups of photos I've gotten I cannot transfer. I get an error message that reads "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." My last 3 rolls do not transfer to the iPod, although all the other photos do as well as all songs, movies, calendars, etc. Everything else is OK just the last 3 photo rolls. 2 of the 3 problem rolls were gathered from emails, but so were others that load fine. The last roll was downloaded from the BART website and will not transfer.
Anybody know what's up with this?

Thanks again TD
I will check on the formating when I get home, I am pretty sure that I haven't used any no-ascii characters, but will double check.
Before I download iphoto library manager, I just wanted to report an interesting experiment that I tried last night that may point in a different direction:
I keep my iphoto library on a second internal HD, so I thought I would just try making a complete copy of my iphoto library onto my desktop. Once I did this, I started up iPhoto with alt and choose the desktop version of the library and all worked perfectly, my iphoto albums showed instantly in my photo tab in itunes when I selected to sync with iphoto.
My next move was to rename my old library and then copy my desktop version into the folder where the old library is. Once I did this the problem was back again.
I have no reason to believe that it is the second disc that is causing the problem, as that is where I have always kept my itunes and iphoto libraries and they have worked without problem.
(As I am writing this, it dawned upon me that I missed one important test, I should have tried the old library after I had renamed it, but stil in the same place.)
I am now suspecting that the problem may be linked to an external drive that I addded to the system at Christmas. This was a WD My Book which I use for backup, the link being that I use the software that came with it to do autobackups that includes my iphoto library folder. I am wondering if this software does something to the folder.
Thoughts welcome.

Problems downloading photos from camera

(I'm not sure I'm using IPhoto 5, I have an IMac G5.)
I am having great difficulty downloading pictures from my digital camera. I have an Olympus camera which I connect to my Mac with the help of a Jessops Universal Card Reader. The card is an X-D one. When I connect the card reader via the USB port, IPhoto opens up but when I attempt to download the pictures I am stuck with the multicoloured "wait" icon. Do I need to clear anything out? I had a similar problem with AppleWorks that was resolved by another user -- see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=822524&tstart=0. Any ideas?
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi DM,
Do you have any large movie files on the camera card. This has caused the problems for some.
Try using Image Capture and see if it will let you download the contents of the card. The following is an explanation of why I use Image Capture instead of iPhoto to download my photos.
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Problems downloading photos from my camera (Panasonic Lumix). Some will download and others will not with error message that they are the wrong format (jPeg)

Never had an issue before. Have installed latest software update and now only some of my photos will download. The rest will be recognized as a bad format (jPeg) and the camera will be ejected automatically, improperly, causing me to have to reboot the camera by removing the battery from the camera.

As a matter of fact. After giving my camera a complete charge, I have had
no more problems

Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8. Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340. Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms. Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8). Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
thanks.

Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

Problems downloading photos from sd card

new macbook air. i insert sd card (from samsung phone, 66 photos) but all i get on the iPhoto page is an indication on the left hand side that my sd card is there and the word 'loading' on the right hand side. no opportunity to click on 'import' because that stays on 0. no photos appear.
many thanks

i went through most of the folders and the one named DCIM came up 'camera' after i clicked on it. and yes i dragged it to iPhoto, viewed all 66 photos and they are all now divided between albums.
thanks for your help.
still leaves the mystery of why the casio sd card worked directly into iPhoto but the samsung sd card needed to go through finder; but thats for another day.
thanks again

Cannot download photos from Kodak Z612 using new Photos

I had no problem downloading photos from my Kodak Z612 camera using iPhoto. Now I cannot download anything using the new Photos or Image Capture. As in earlier posts, re. iPhoto April 2014, I get a list of the .jpg photos that I wanted to import and a message that says the files are in the wrong format. Really? .jpg is the wrong format? I tried a couple of work-arounds from April 2014, but they did not work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to download photos from my Z 612 using the new Photos?

Thanks for the info, but I have done that before searching for answers to the problem. I, and anyone else with the same problem, should not be required to jump through extra hoops to do what we have always done with iPhoto, whether it is a Kodak or a Nikon.

HT3258 After downloading Mac OS X I can no long download photos from Safari to iPhoto. How do I fix this problem?

I downloaded Mac OS X Mountain Lion and now I can't download photos from Safari to iPhoto.

Open iPhoto and then try it. I got the same error message you did when I tried to download an image. iPhoto then opened and I was able to add the image. Not exactly perfect.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

HT4908 Just purchased iPad 2,want to download photos from MacBook.we have different e-mail address. Does this cause a problem?

Finding my way around my new ipad2. I have an iCloud account to transfer photos from our MacBook to my iPad. Having problems doing this.

Hi
1. To download Photos from your Macbook to your iPad you use iTunes to sync photos. And to download photos from your iPad2 to your computer you use a USB cable and iPhoto on your Mac.
2. For Photostream both devices need to be on the same iCloud Apple ID to allow Photostreaming to work. Is that what you mean by downloading? Photostream ismore commonly used to share photos bwteen devices
iCloud is only supported on newer versions of OSX - what version is your Macbook running?
What is the exact problem you are having??
Cheers
