Transfer photos from camera to external HD WITHOUT iPhoto

I have pictures that I have taken for work - I don't want to load them on my iPhoto.
I just want to move them from the camera to the external hard drive.
Can it be done?  How?

Sure - but it does not involve iPhoto for the Mac which is the subject of this forum
Use Image Capture - in your applications folder - or use the finder if the camera mounts to the desktop

    Can I transfer photos from my iPhone to iPad without needing to use iTunes to sync?

    You have a Mac, so essentially iPhoto (or Aperture, depending on what you have) stores and organizes photos. I find this very useful, because although 99.9% of my photos are from a real camera, I do occasionally take photos with my iPhone, possibly more now that I have an iPhone 4.
    iTunes, as annoying as it can be at times, let's you organize what photos are moved to the iPad and iPhone. It really is easy, even for a rank beginner.
    Apple also keeps a closed system for these products. Again, annoying at times, but mostly it works. You should read stories about the Android system where apps work or don't work depending on seemingly random movements of the planets. There might be something out there if you look hard, but you'll be frustrated with what happens.
    I'm very happy how I control photos with Aperture, iPhone, iPad and iTunes in combination. Switch out Aperture and iPhoto, and you'll be fine too.
    But, if there's a particular reason why you don't like the combination, drop a note here, and we'll try to help out.

  • Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why

    Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why?  This happens only on a 5 year old iMac running 10.6.8.  It is a recent developmemt.  All other machines have no problen with the same card.

    I click on the send feedback everytime it pops up with the force quit, so they'er getting it.
    That sends a crash report. Its doubtful that these are ever seen by a human being, but more likely datamined. Sending feedback reaches an actual person.
    My guess from yourdescription is that the portion of the OS (note, OS, not iPhoto) that manages the importing process is what's crashing.

    Hi.
    How can i transfer photos from my iPhone 4s o myimac iPhoto easily? i have been doing via message, however the photos are blurred once on the imac.
    thanks,

    You can send photos from your iPhone via email, drag the photos from the email window to the desktop then open in iPhoto.
    Open a photo on your iPhone then tap the share icon bottom left corner of your screen then tap Next then tap Mail. Send the photo to yourself.
    Open Mail then control click the photo then click Open with then click iPhoto. If iPhoto is not available from the pop up menu click Other then navigate to the Applications folder then click iPhoto.

  • How do i transfer photos from camera roll to photostream on my iPad2?

    I have 100s of pics on my iPad2 and set up Photostream ages ago, but only 2 pics are on it. I want to transfer all of my photos to Photostream so they appear in iCloud and so I can delete them from iPad2 and free up storage space.
    How do I do this?

    How do you do that? I've tried through iPhoto and iTunes and in neither case are the images/videos from the Camera Roll accessable. Images from Photo Stream are, but not Camera Roll. And since images/videos saved from Messages end up in Camera Roll, I can't figure out how to get them either into Photo Stream or transfered to my computer.

  • How do I transfer photos from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that they sync w/ my PC?

    I want to take pics w/ the phone and then view them on my PC. I can't seem to get the photos and video to move from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that I can work with them on my PC. I can move pics on my PC into the photostream upload folder and those appear quicklly on my phone in the photo stream album.

  • Transfer photos from camera to ipad

    I just updated iOS to 7.1. Since then I cańt transfer photos from my camera to my IPad mini. I get message that the device requires too much power. I bought the ipad, mainly to transfer photos directly from camera when travelling. Many thanks for your help.

    What exactly is "the device"?
    Have you tried something like this?

  • Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto

    when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?

    It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
    But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

    Re: no longer asks if I want to delete photos on camera. I cannot move photos to trash. how do I delete them?

  • Transfer photos from camera to iMAC without using iPhoto or Aperture

    Hi
    I have been having all sorts of problems with iPhoto which seems to have collapsed on account of me having too many photos (250GB). I have been recommended to download Aperture which holds a higher capacity of photos, which I have done. I transferred my iPhoto photos to Aperture and Aperture promptly collapsed...! So, I am now sorting out my photos on an external hard drive and will then re-import them into new Aperture libraries for each year I think so that they do not get jammed up.
    I am stuck however, as I am now trying to download photos from my camera onto the iMac without using either iPhoto or Aperture and I cant seem to find a way to do it. I have connected the camera and looked in Finder and Preview but cant see the device there to retrieve the photos from it.
    Anyone got any tips?
    Also if you have tips on what to do if you have too many photos that would be greatly appreciated too.
    Thanks

    Well, when I migrated my photos from my MacBook Pro to my IMac in January 2011 some of the last set of photos I had taken did corrupt and I only realised a few months later when I went to make a photo book and got a black picture with an exclamation mark as the originals could not be found.
    In my current reorganisation, I have copied the masters file from my macbook pro onto the external hard drive and the masters file from January 2011 onwards from my iMac onto the external drive also and filed all photos. I intend to reimport them from there, thus avoiding the corrupted ones.
    The iphoto version is 9.4.3 and the aperture is 3.4.5
    I now cannot open either iPhoto or the first library I transferred iPhoto photos to on Aperture. I just get the rainbow ball and it says 'not responding' so I have to force quit the applications. I send crash reports each time to Apple. I have iMac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    Hoping the new library I have built will work. Do you think I can import the whole lot into a new Aperture library rather than break them down into years?
    Thanks for your help Terrence

  • Is there a way to transfer photos from a ipad to storage without a computer

    I will be travelling oversea's and will use my ipad mini (with 30gb free space) to store photos from the SD memory cards from my camera. The ipad will be used to edit the photo's whilst travelling.  As I will be shooting in RAW the photos will take up a considerable amount of memory (800 photos per 64gb)  Is there a way to transfer the photos to the ipad to edit and then save all the photo's to an external portable hard drive or cloud to free up the space on the ipad mini for more photos to be transferred for editing.

  • Uploading photos from cam to external hard drive with I photo

    I have my computer set up to have photos on external hard drive, with I photo library. when I plug my SD card in, and I photo uploads, it puts them directly on to my computer, rather then my external HD.
    1. How do I change settings so it defaults my downloads to EHD
    2. How do I transfer those photos back onto my hard drive from one Iphoto library to the next?
    3. How do I copy photos from i photo to a separate folder?

    I have my computer set up to have photos on external hard drive, with I photo library. when I plug my SD card in, and I photo uploads, it puts them directly on to my computer, rather then my external HD.
    I'm not clear - do you have multiple iPhoto libraries or are you trying to use a referenced library (not recommended) with the referenced photos on the external drive?
    1. How do I change settings so it defaults my downloads to EHD
    To set the default iPhoto library depress the option key and launch iPhoto - select the iPhoto library you want as the default
    2. How do I transfer those photos back onto my hard drive from one Iphoto library to the next?
    The easiest way to move photos with all of their associated metadata between libraries is using iPhoto library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
    3. How do I copy photos from i photo to a separate folder?
    select the photos and export (file menu ==> export) them

  • How do I transfer photos from mac to external hard drive please

    How do I transfer photos to a external hard drive please?

    This answer may need to be expanded a bit. If your photos are in iPhoto and you are moving iPhoto's library to an external drive, once you've dragged the library to the external drive you'll need to let iPhoto know the library has moved. Hold the option key and double-click iPhoto (or click on the iPhoto icon on the Dock). You'll get a fileselector menu to select the library - point it to the external drive. Once you've established that the copied library has copied correctly you may drag the library on your computer to the trash and empty the trash.
    Warning: You do have a backup of your entire computer, right? Just in case something goes awry with the process having a backup is always a good idea.
