Transfer digital photos from Olympus Stylus Tough to mac mini desktop - viewing

How to view digital photos transferred from Olympus Stylus Tough to Mac Mini after duplicated to desktop?  Unable to locate.

Olympus website FAQ:  I am aMac user. What software can I use to view my images and movies on my computer?
The [ib] software bundled with this camera is not compatible with Macintosh operating systems. Mac users who wish to transfer their images and movies to a Mac for viewing, editing and sharing have two options:
Connect the camera to the computer using the camera's bundled USB cable, and then manually transfer your files to the computer using standard copy/paste or drag and drop techniques. Once the files are on your computer, you can use any third-party application of your choice to view, edit and share them.After transferring data there is no efficient way to copy to a file.  The folder provides a "duplicate" option and then it "copies" items to "desktop" by default.
===============
After I transfer the data the unnamed folder gives me the option to "duplicate".  When I do this the data, by default, "copies" to the desktop.
I am unable to retrieve and locate the actual digital photos and videos, however.  I have tried transferring data before and was able to locate it in the folder,
but this time I am not locating it.
My O.S. would not allow me to install the Olympus software needed.

  • Importing photos from my Powerbook to my Mac Mini

    Hi there,
    I am running iPhoto '06 v. 6.0.6 on my Powerbook. I am also running iPhoto '08 v. 7.1.5 on my Mini (don't know how I ended up with different versions) and want to import my photos from my Powerbook to my Mac Mini. When I tried, it didn't work- the thumb nails were all there but when I clicked on the individual photo a big black 'image' came up with a big white exclamation mark on it.
    I presume I need the same versions to be able to do this? How can I get the new version, I didn't buy iPhoto 08 so I don't know how it got on my laptop!
    Many thanks, Rose

    Great! Have done that, and all seems well. Thankyou.
    I wonder if you can answer a question I have about the lay-out of iPhoto 08, and if it can be changed. When I click on a thumbnail, the picture comes up full-size but without the line of thumbnails along the top (as it does in '06). The handy arrow and 'done' button are also missing along the bottom. If I press the 'return' button, these things then appear but it doesn't stay like that, it just comes up again without the scroll bar etc when I click on another thumbnail and I must press return again.
    Is it just a setting that can be changed somehow?
    Many thanks, Rose

    If the Mac use Lion (10.7) you can use Airdrop for that.
    With Mac's not using Lion you may set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection.

  • Can i transfer my photos from my iphone to my mac

    Hi, I am looking for a way to transfer all of my pictures and, I guess, my camera videos, from my iPhone 4s on to my MacBook

    Connect your iPhone to your computer via the USB cable that came with it. If iPhoto doesn't launch, launch it, select the iPhone name under Debices. Transfer all photos and videos, then say Yes when asked if you want them deleted from the iPhone.
    If you want any of the photos, or albums or events, back on your iPhone, select them for yncing in iTunes.

  • Can I transfer the photos from the iPad2 to my Mac Book Pro to a single folder on the Mac ?Book Pro

    I hope this possible but I need to edit the photos on the iPad and if I make a mistake and go back I cannot  go back get the pictures they are gone I think. I just want to go through the pictures and they are about 2500 pictures once I done I would resend back to the iPad.

    1)  Copying personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    After you have Edited your Photos...
    2) Connect your iPad to your MacBook Pro and Sync the photos you want back on your iPad.
    Read here...
    In iPhoto create a New Album and call it something like ' iPad Pictures '... Put all the photos you want into that Album...
    When Syncing with iTunes... Select that iPad Pictures Album and Sync.

  • 10.6.8 stops me importing photos from Olympus camera

    1. Recently bought a new Olympus VR310 digital camera.  I couldn't get either Image Capture (6.0.1) or iPhoto (9.1.5) to import images from day one, onto my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  However, if I took the SDHC card out of the Olympus and put it into an older  Canon Ixus digital camera , and used that to upload, then both Image Capture and iPhoto worked perfectly.  So it's not the card.  Or the USB connection.  It's something special to the Olympus and the Mac.  Obviously I tried all the usual stuff about dumping plist files etc.  Nothing worked.
    2. The problem manifests itself, when the Olympus is connected,  as Image Capture being unable to show more than one, if any, thumbnails, and it is unable to import at all.  In iPhoto the problem manifests immediately it calls up the Olympus as a connected camera.  The dreaded spinning beachball of death kicks off, and the program 'stops responding'.  Even after I quit iPhoto and unmount the Olympus, iPhoto will not open without the spinning ball of death until I restart.  
    3. Anyway, I tried connecting the Olympus to my son's Macbook, (System 10.6.7, Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.1) and all worked perfectly.  Hmm… so it's NOT just down to the Olympus.  It's something to do with my setup. 
    4. I also have a bootable USB drive connected to the Mini, so I booted into that, so I then have my computer and my user preferences etc running under the bootable drives System 10.6.6, Image Capture 6.0.1, and iPhoto 9.1.5.  That worked perfectly with the Olympus too.  So it's not my the combination of my user settings, Image Capture 6.0.1, or iPhoto 9.15, or the  Olympus.
    5. My guess then was it was some corruption of the system on the Mac Mini.  So I reinstalled the Mac Mini system, from the install DVD, so I had a nice fresh Snow Leopard 10.6.0.  That gave me Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.5.  When I attached the Olympus, everything worked perfectly.  Great.
    THEN, I updated the system from Apple's Oftware Update, all the way to 10.6.8, which is where I started from. 
    6. And guess what.  Nothing works anymore. Immediately before the update, the Olympus importing worked.  Immediately afterwards it didn't.  I'm back where I was at the beginning, with exactly the same problem..  I can't import from the Olympus but the Canon is fine. (see 1 and 2 above)
    So, it seems to me that the Upgrade straight to 10.6.8 is what caused the problem.  And given I could get the Olympus to work on my son's computer (system 10.6.6) it's something between 10.6.6 and 10.6.8.  Why the Canon works on all the permutations, and not the Olympus, I don't know.  I don't know why the  Olympus ONLY doesn't work with 10.6.8.
    7. Obviously there are tedious workarounds (but none that lets iPhoto capture the photos directly) which I can use to get the images into iPhoto eventually, but hey, this is an Apple Mac, who wants to be doing tedious workarounds all the time.
    I've had Macs since 1984  (I'm that old…) so I'm a fan, and I'm reasonably competent, but this has me stumped.
    Any ideas, anyone. 
    Any help much appreciated.

    How can I transfer some photos from PE11 to be saved on my new IPad? I know I can use Adobe Revel but that relies on an Internet connection. The person I wish to show the photos do not have internet connection.

    You can use iTunes on your local computer to transfer photos:

  • My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

    My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

    I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not.  It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue.   I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that.    I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software.  On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

    I am able to transfer my photos from my iPone 4s to my PC with Windows Vista but it won't transfer my videos? Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have Vista (don't laugh) and my videos are transferred over when I plug in my phone.   They don't open up in Winodws Picture Viewer though.
    They are under my Photos, under the date created by the sync.   Do a search I'm sure you'll find them.
