Transferring images from SD cards

I copied an SD card with video images onto my desktop with a view to doing a log & transfer later. However, I can't seem to begin this process or to see the images. How can I do this? In the past I have been able to log and transfer directly from SD card, so that function id operational on my set-up.
Situation: On my desktop I have a folder named "PRIVATE" containing a folder titled AVCHD containing "BDMV" (+"AVCHDTN" on a separate branch) containing "STREAM" containing many relatively heavy .MTS files ...but cannot call them up or open them individually.
I am a beginner.

There are many solutions: Your first stop is www.macwindows.com, and read everything in site re: formatting ext HD's to run on both,your best solution. There are apps that allow macs to read/write/ drag & drop to /from Fat 32 & NTSF partitions, and visa versa, read about networking and remote controlling PC's and Macs, as well. A simpler but time consuming solution is internet backup/ syncing via Sugar Sync or Mobile me.
*maybe you can help me: I'm about to get my first PC to capture digital dental xrays. I'm told that the imaging sensors drivers only work on a PC/xp or Vista, 32 or 64, though they are written in 32. I want to network (automatic syncing of dental image files and practice mgmt files from the imaging app & mgmt app) the PC to an iMac, either booted in Vista 64 or running it in emulation. The PC Imaging app (Apteryx) and the PC Mgmt app (Dentimax) works either way on the iMac. How do I:(1) set up a wireless network, (2) that onlt auto syncs the 2 dental apps files, (3) on a Vista booted iMac, or ($) on a Vista emulated by Fusion, iMac????? Thanks! I assume a V booted imac is a PC to PC setup, but I have no idea how to do this? I also find it hard to believe that the sensor drivers wont work on a V booted iMac!

Transferring images from memory card in printer to iMac.

My camera just broke, and I am unable to download the pictures from my camera's memory card onto my Mac (I am using version 10.6.8). I usually just plug my camera into my Mac via the USB port, but I am now unable to do that. My printer has a memory card slot to use to print from, but I'm not sure I can transfer pictures from my card to my computer. I have a Canon MP560 multi-function printer. I just came back from a 2 week vacation and would like to see my pictures! Please help!

Glad that worked for you!!!

Thanks, everybody! It's all good. I had my printer set up wirelessly and it didn't work, but as soon as I plugged the USB port into my Mac instead of the wireless router, iPhoto came right up. Whew! Now I can see and edit my pictures. Thanks again.

Transferring images from SIM card onto 5800

Just got 5800 XpressMusic. I saved images to my SIM in my old phone. Now can't find how to transfer them from this SIM onto my 5800! My contacts were easy enough to transfer. Can anyone help with my images?
Thanks...

No need to apologise as no time was wasted. If you need any help transferring them using a memory card just ask.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Can no longer download images from CF card.

I've been downloading images from my card reader via Bridge for a long time. I just upgraded LR 3.6 to LR 4, and now Bridge doesn't seem to work. If I try to download images, I get the spinning circle, then nothing. The dialog box for importing images from the camera never pops up.

I also wonder if the problem was due to a Photoshopdownloader.exe that was running in the background...
Not familiar with exe as a Mac user but can you specify this? Do you mean the Adobe Photodownloader that comes with Bridge or is it an other part of Photoshop? Some photo applications have been set to auto start upon connecting a camera device. I always deselect them and choose Photodownloader myself on the moment I want to use it.

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

Images from camera card

I downloaded images from my camera card into Elements. They have an offline symbol on them and the images are fuzzy. What does this mean and how do I correct it?

Do you have your card connected or disconnected ?
It seems you have added images from your card but have not moved to your hard drive, so if you have card disconnected then the images will show up as Offline as the source images are still on card, Elements just have the thumbnails.
In order to solve this, you need to first copy all the images to your hard drive from your card and then import in PSE from that copied location.
Hope this helps !!

How do I erase all images from a card in the Cannon Rebel t3

how do I erase all images from a card in the Cannon Rebel t3

Hello debrusso,
I would just like to give some quick advice that you all may already know but I was just told this countless of times that I thought you all would like to know. \
I have been told by numerous of photography professors that it is always best to try to format your camera every now and then. Because your memory card is not really deleting the photos but rather hiding it somewhere. This is a problem because it still takes space from your card. The solution to this is to FORMAT because it is one of the safest ways for your camera to erase images. It also sets up properly for your camera like new. But make sure to save your images before doing formatting. I have had many silly accidents this way. Lol.

Here’s my question,
I have a new HP Photosmart 7520e all in one. I put my memory card in the slot but the printer screen does not show my computer as a destination option. I'm using Windows 7. Nothing at the computer end acknowledges that the card is in the printer slot. The computer is wireless hook up. How do I transfer pictures from the card to the computer?
Thanks support team. My old HP Printer pooped out on me and I just got this new one hooked up. I have a card full of pictures I need to move into “My Pictures” but so far, my new HP doesn’t want me to. Stainless909

My computer does NOT have a card slot or I would have use it to start with. Next: This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. (youyr answer) "You can map the card to network drive but why you have to do that hard ?" I don't understand "maping net works".
All my previous (4) HP printers had card slots (as this one does) but when I put my card in the computer would read it and ask me if I was ready to import them and I picked the destination ... click on "import" and it happened. This one.. nothing happens on the computer but the printer screen gives me a choice of destinations (snapfish & usb cord) but does not offer an option of moving them to the computer. Are you not understanding my problem???? Would this be better resolved with a phone call? 951 769-8420 Thanks Bruce aka... Stainless909

Transferring images from a CF card

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer a bunch of pictures from a CF card to an iphone? If it is possible what is the easiest way to do it? I'm also wondering if anyone knows of an app that will let someone view RAW images from a digital camera?

The best way to transfer pictures to an iPhone is putting the pics in iPhoto or Aperture, then tell iTunes to sync the albums you want to the iPhone. That's if you're using a Mac. I don't know what the Windows equivalent of iPhoto is to sync with an iPhone.
AFAIK there are no apps to view RAW images from a digital camera on the iPhone.

Transferring images from a PC to a Mac

Fist of all, please excuse me if my questions appear elementary but I am a recent convert to Apple and to digital photography. I have a PC desk top computer and a just-purchased MacBook Pro. At the moment all of my images are on the internal hard drive of my PC and the drive is filling up fast. I need a short term solution to my diminishing internal disk space that will tide me over until I learn enough about workflow to invest in a longer term solution. I want to view and edit my images on the MacBook Pro. I realize it's not the best way to edt but it will have to do until I replace my PC with a desktop Mac which I intend to do. But in the meantime I don't want to clog up my Mac unnecessarily with thousands of images. So, my questions: 1)) What is the best way of transferring my images from the PC to my Mac? 2) If I transfer my images to an external hard drive from my PC will my Mac have any problems reading them? 3) Can an external hard drive be formatted to read both PC and Mac files? 4) Rather than get an external drive for my PC (since I don't intend to edit on the PC, am I better to get one for my Mac? 5) Can someone suggest a good on-line tutorial on this topic so that I don't need to trouble all you good folk. Any advice would be appreciated.

My IT department transferred images from my Blackberry to my Iphone, they are in "Photo library". there is 1500 images, many are duplicates and when I hit edit, delete is not an option. how do i delete the duplicate images?

my IT department set up my Iphone and transferred the images from my Blackberry. I have over 1500 images showing in "Photo Library" and lots of them are duplicates (same image). When I hit edit it will not allow me to delete them, delete is not an option shown. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
In Photo library, when I hit edit the only avail options are share or add to. Please help, i dont want 1500 images on the phone.

Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
You delete these pica the same way you put them there. The sync process. Deselect them in itunes and sync.

Deleting images from CF-card when imported

Hi.
Have any of you been able to find a feature that deletes the imported images from the CF-card, so you don't have to manually delete images them from the CF-card.
Regards, Matias V

There isn't at tis point. Consensus view it that it's best to delete/format in camera.

Aperture fails to load images from CF card, now not able to open

I have a new Canon 5D Mark III camera and was sold a Lexar SD Professional 32 GB card and a Lexar Professional UDMA 7 Compact Flash 32 GB card. Downloading the images from the camera is a problem. I am using a Mac Book Pro 15" with operating system OSX 10.6.8. Aperture is on a Lacie external hard drive and now fails to open. Yesterday, a message saying 'unreadable files' would show and a few images would be saved to Aperture. Also, later, an 'unrecognizable format' message would appear. Before it stopped working, it would download one or two selected images but not a large number of images.
Any solutions? Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks Ernie! The images would not load from the camera with the USB camera supplied cable. Yes, the MBP has slot for the SD card and it downloads the images.
The Aperture library is on the LaCie external HD. Don't know if the drive is formatted as OS X extended.
After posting the entry, I went to the local Staples store and purchased a Verbatium card reader and lo and behold, the world is fine. The Aperture has returned and I was able to download all the CF card images. The card reader would not read the SD card despite having it listed as one of the cards it's able to read. Don't know what's happening here but at least I can use the MBP slot.
To me, it's strange! It was all looking quite grim! Thank you for your assistance!

Trouble downloading some images from CF card to iPhoto

My iMac was full - no space left on it. I did not know this until I tried to download a 16GB card that was almost full of RAW images from my 50D.
There were approximately 600 images on the card. Around 450 of them downloaded fine to iPhoto. Then I got an error message saying that my hard disk was full, and that I would not be able to download the remaining 150 images until I created room on my computer.
So, I went thru my image files and deleted about 200 photos, figuring that would create plenty of room for the remaining 150 that I still had on the card (the images I deleted were the same file size as the ones I was trying to download, so it should have freed up enough space).
When I tried to download the remaining 150 images, only about 5 or 10 downloaded successfully, then I got the same error message saying that my hard disk was full.
So, I again deleted more images, then tried to download the remaining images. This time, my computer wouldn't accept any of the images. I didn't even get the error message - iPhoto simply froze up when I tried to download the images remaining on the card.
I later deleted a few thousand images - to ensure that there would be plenty of room on my computer for new images. I then downloaded another card with about 600 images on it (from the same 50D). I had no problem downloading all 600+ of the images on this card. However, when I went and put the other card back in the card reader and tried to download those remaining 140 images, iPhoto simply froze up again and I couldn't download any of them.
WHen I put the CF card in my 50D, I can view those 140 images on my LCD screen without any problems. In fact, all of the info is intact for each of the images. But when I try to download to iPhoto, iPhoto freezes up and won't accept them.
I do not use any other photo program, so importing them into something like Lightroom or Aperture is not an option. I am also not interested in paying money to upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto, so I want to keep this within the iPhoto 08 that I currently use.
What I want to know is, does anyone know how I can get these images downloaded into iPhoto? Is there some type of software recovery program that is free, that will work directly with iPhoto?
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
+PS: I will be away from my computer for most of the weekend, so if I don't respond to anyone's post promptly, my apologies. I'll review all posts and respond to them when I again have internet access in a couple days.+

Thank you, Terrance.
I have cleared a ton of space on my hard drive. This is evidenced by the fact that I have recently uploaded about 2,000 photos onto my iPhoto app. Each photo is from a Canon 50D, and is a RAW file, so each image is right around the 20mb sie. These are huge files, and yet I've been able to download a couple thousand recently. Yet I still cannot download the 140+- images from that Compact Flash memory card that gave me trouble previously. It seems to me like somehow iPhoto and that particular card are having trouble "talking to" each other ever since I tried to "force" iPhoto to accept more than it could hold at that time.
Also, you mention using an external hard drive. I shoot only in RAW. When I import a photo into iPhoto, and edit it in iPhoto, iPhoto remembers what the original photo was like before I edited it. So, I can always go back to an image and simply ask iPhoto to revert the image to the original RAW file, and it does so.
My fear with using an external hard drive is that when I export an image from iPhoto to the external, that the external drive won't "remember" what the photo looked like before I edited it. Can I save the actual RAW file to the external, or do I need to export the photos as jPegs? If I can only export a jPeg, then I will lose much of the extremely detailed information that the original RAW image file contains.
