Putting Photos from SD card on a Thumbdrive

I am trying to put photos from 4 SD cards onto a flashdrive.  I PHOTO won't let me do it without saying that I need to override the photos already on the drive.  A SD card will start each card with Number 0001, and therefore, each card has a 1, etc.  How do I get all the cards on this one drive???????  Each card has something like 750 plus pictures on it and they run in succession from a trip I took, so I can't change every picture.  I tried to renumber some from the info box and it won't let me do that either!  Anyone help me?????

Your camera names those files, and you've set it to go back to 0001 everytime you chnage the card, so now you have four sets of files with the same names. iPhoto won't export them because to do so wouls end up with files overwriting each other.
So, you need to change the names of the files when iPhoto export them.
To do this:
Select  the Photos in iPhoto in chronological order and go Photos -> Batch Change
Select to give them a Title: something like "Trip to Wherever"
Check the box to Append a number to each
Now you have all the photos with a different title.
Next: Export them.
File -> Export and in the Export dialogue you can choose to use the Title as Filename
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Export to a folder on the desktop. Drag that to the USB Device.

TD
BTW: You seem to have a stuck question mark key. You need to get it looked at as it makes you look silly.

    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.   

  • 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 see

    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.

  • When i put photos from my iphone to the stream

    when i put photos from my iphone to the stream, can i delete them from the phone?

    No, the Stream is used to sync photos from one device to another, not to store them long term.  Always sync photos to a computer to archive them.  Once there, you can delete them from your device.

    I was able to resolve the issue through forcing the image capture program to quit through the activity monitor and reboot the machine and everything seems to function fine now.  Imported the pics, all 240 of them in RAW format.

  • Imported photos from sd card not showing in events

    iPhoto 9.6: after importing photos from SD card, they do not appear in Events nor Last Import. They DO appear in Photos and Last 18 Months. How can I get them into Events?

    they are  in an event - every photo is - you are not finding them
    Photos and events are simply different views of the exact same photos - anything in one is also in the other
    Most common causes are a bad sort of events - fix using the view menu ==> sort events and set your desired sort
    Or  --  a bad date on the camera - to fix set the camera correctly and select the photos already imported with the bad dates and use the adjust time/date command to fix
    You also can right click on one in Photos and select who event from the resulting menu to see where it is

  • 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.

  • How do I remove photos from memory card after I have uploaded photos?

    We have iPhoto 11.  How do delete photos from a memory card after they have been uploaded in to iPhoto?
    Thanks.

    delete the iPhoto preference file
    HOWEVER a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    If you continue letting the computer delete your photos you will lose them sooner or later
    You pays your money and makes your choice - but you are playing a very risky game with no rewards

  • Putting photos from mac onto itouch or iphone.

    I am anew user in the mac world and would love to find out how to put photos from computer onto my Itouch and Iphone. Help me please.

    As with all other data you sync or transfer via iTunes. When you connect your device then select it from iTunes' sidebar you can click on the various tabs in the main window where you can configure what to sync to the device. One of those tabs is 'Photos.' You have the option of transferring all the pictures in your iPhoto library if you use one. If not, then put the pictures you want transferred into a separate folder and select that folder in the iTunes 'Photos' tab.
    I do believe you will find this explained in the user manual for the Touch and the iPhone. If you don't have one then you can download a PDF copy from support.apple.com/manuals/.

  • Importing photos from SD card to Blackberry OS10 device

    Is there a way of importing photos from SD card directly to Blackberry Z10 using card reader and USB OTG cable (ie. not using a PC ) ? My camera has no WIFi or NFC. Thank you.

    Hi!
    I don't understand You clearly, I think. Why do You need cardreader if Z10 just has SD slot? Anyway, Z10 hasn't USB OTG at all. Z30 and Passport only have that feature.

  • Import photos from SD Card into a library with referenced masters

    I have the following problem:
    I would like to migrate from Aperture (that I used for the past couple of years) to Photos for OS X. (Well, let's say I feel kind of forced to  by Apple's decision to abandon Aperture and since I do not like to switch to Lightroom (which I fear will soon be available via Adobe's Cloud system!)). I successfully migrated my Aperture library to Photos. My library is a 'referenced library', i.e. a library where the original photos ('masters') are NOT inside the library but stored in a separate location. In my case the original photos are stored on a NAS. Photos recognizes all my photos and by right-clicking on a photo I can select the 'Show in Finder' option and Photos correctly shows then the location of the corresponding photo on the NAS. So far so good.
    The  problem arises when I want to import new photos from the camera (or its SD card). I plugin the SD card into the Mac and fire up Photos. Then I click on 'Import'. I do not succeed in importing the photos from the SD card in a way that the original files (masters) are copied to the NAS (the place where I keep my masters). In fact when I import then everything (also the master files) are copied into the library (which is located on the Mac's internal SSD.) This happens despite I have deselected "Copy objects into photo library" in the Photos app Preferences.
    (Another problem is that, with Aperture, I could import photos from the SD card in a way that the originals were copied to the NAS, renamed appropriately (e.g. <date>-<time>.JPG and put automatically in an Aperture-created folder structure (year/month/day). I fear that the only way to keep on working with 'referenced' masters will be by NOT using Photos' Import function directly for the import from the SD card, but first to copy 'manually' (using the Finder) the photos from the SD card to the NAS (after having created year, month, day folders manually) and then to use Photos Import function. Is this really the sad truth?
    Another problem is: When I delete a photo from the library, it will NOT be deleted from the masters! :-(
    Has anybody experienced the same problems?
    Cheers
    Rainer

    The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
    Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
    “untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
    It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
    My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

  • Suddenly can't import photos from SDHC card after installing Snow Leopard

    After we installed Snow Leopard, we suddenly can't import any photos from our camera when we use an SDHC memory card. Regular SD cards work fine and importing from our SDHC card onto our MacBookPro w/o SnowLeopard works just fine. Anyone have any solutions for this? Tried my card reader, too, and get same problem. Hook up camera/card reader, iPhoto takes a long time to recognize it, and then I get blank photos. I click import and then get an error message about unreadable files. Only happens when using the SDHC card. We're using iPhoto '08 on both Macs.

    I vaguely remember other posts regarding the SDHC card. Have you searched for "SDHC" in the forum to see what other users report and they found a solution?
    OT
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • NEED ASAP HELP WITH TRANSFERRING PHOTOS FROM SMART CARD TO IPHOTO 09

    I have several SD's (512 mg - 2 gig) that have important photos which need to be transferred from the card to my MAC Pro. Problem is that I cannot find my usb cable that came with my camera so must take straight from card. When I tried to put the first card into the SD drive, the card got stuck and I had to spend hours getting it out with a pair of tweezers. I've never had so much trouble inserting a card into my computer and transferring the photos onto my computer. I need HELP QUICKLY!!! AM TRYING TO SELL BDRM FURNITURE ON CRAIGS LIST BEFORE NEXT FRIDAY & HAVE SOME NEAT PICS TO ACCOMPANY AD. THANKS SO MUCH!!! This has taken me ALL weekend!!!

    I suggest you get a card reader and use it to upload from the card to a folder on the desktop and then into iPhoto. I got mine at WalMart for $10.
