Transferring Images to SD Card - iBook Freezes

I'm trying to move photos from iPhoto 5 to a Kodak 512MB SD Card via a USB card reader. Trying to move about 320 images (approx 480MB). The iBook freezes every time I try to copy the files across.
iBook is a G4 with 1GB RAM. I've tried to load them a few (approx 50) at a time, but I still end up with the iBook freezing.
I'm doing this to load the SD card for a digi photo frame for Xmas pressie. Any thoughts/ suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks - I tried that (of sorts). I dragged them into a folder from iPhoto and then tried to transfer them onto the card - didn't work unfortunately.
I did solve the issue. Much to my chagrin I burned the photos to CD then dragged and dropped them onto the SD card on my mother-in-laws windoze machine (to much gloating from her!).

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I don't believe the iOS7 update was the cause for your issue. I have three devices all updated and they all show the Import To drop menu in Image Capture as shown below.

  • How do I transfer jpg images transfered to an SD card, into an iPad?

    How do I transfer jpg images transfered to an SD card, into an iPad? Have tried lots - nothing works.
    I would like to buy an iPad if this could be solved.
    I am on a PC
    I have iTunes on my desptop, not my laptop.
    When traveling I shoot RAW 22mg photos.
    I resize down to 2mg file for screen.
    I transfer to SD card to then transfer to an iPad.
    I use wifes new iPad with SD card accessory to try to get it to work but it doesn't.
    I created a test directory with subdirectories
    Synced it to iPhone 3GS and worked fine.
    Will not do syncing from laptop because ...no iTunes anddon't want it on laptop.
    Did experiment with wife's MAC desktop - it worked fine
    Card is an SD HC which supposedly works fine.
    Apple would have a customer if I could do this.
    Thanks for any possible solutions.
    Brad

    Meg:
    So far you are leading the race. I tried more scenarios on the SD card and the DCIM + names no longer than 8 characters works. However this naming and sorting convention still falls short for me. I realize what we want and what we get are sometimes two different things and I always try to seek a workaround.
    If I breakdown and install iTunes on my laptop and sync just my main directory with many longer than 8 chars sub directory names and within those many jpg's with longer than 8 chars names would that solve my dilemma?...like how it works on the iPhone?
    On the recent test with the SD attachment the sub directories did not import or even show - only those in the root. I named one sub directory with only 8 chars and one file inside less than 8 chars - not found by iPad.
    I am hesitant to do this (add iTunes to laptop) because I may not necessarily want all files synced on desktop, laptop and iPad.
    I sort many files based on events and travel days and most of the events I do are several days, hence many subdirectories...sometimes 5 weeks gone.
    Sorry to be a pain but I am trying to buy an iPad...but so far not practical reason.

  • 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.

  • Problem with tethering D700 - slows down: 'Transfering images...'

    Hi,
    I have a problem when working tethered. Previously I had no or hardly any trouble but as far as I know nothing has changed.
    The problem is (also when I have no CF card in my camera) that all of a sudden I get 'transferring images from camera' and lightroom then is fully occupied doing that. It is a big problem because I cannot work lik that in the studio.
    Please advice bcause it is driving me mad...

    Hi Weixuan,
    I recomend taking an unneccesarily process out if the loop for example: IMAQ Create, IMAQ Read File, IMAQ WindSetup, IMAQ Dispose, IMAQ WIndClose.
    You may refer to my attached screenshot to see how I modify your program.
    I can achieve the same task at 17ms interval with <30% CPU consumption.

  • I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace the OS9 on my G4 tower with the created iBook ghost image. How do you do this?

    I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace OS9 on a G4 tower with the Ghost image. How do you do this? Will my applications still work?
    The iBook is running Pather, i have tons of programs i use on it, project files, etc... and my G4 Mac tower is more powerful, faster, and more reliable than the iBook. I basiclly just want to take the entire OS, programs and files... create an image, and drop the image on the G4 Tower so it basically will function just like the iBook. Like a mirror image of everything that is on the iBook.  I know that you can create image files in the Disk Utility on Panther, but will that back up the entire OS with settings, programs, files and all?  ive never done anything like this before, so i wanted to post this up to see if i would get an answer. In the meantime, im reading "Mac OS X, Help Desk Essentials By Owen Linzmayer" to see if i can find the steps to do this.
    Any help would be greatly apprciated. Much thanks!

    Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other.  The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *.  This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
    Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    Then apply the correct update
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
    Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower.  Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM.  The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
    The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html The import of the external hard drive with the migration assistant can be done with these instructions:

  • IBook freeze

    I have a problem with my ibook freezing that started a few days ago; it began by freezing at the blue screen (prior to the login window), and now will variously freeze at black screen, grey screen, apple logo, or on rare occasion make it to the desktop.
    The particulars:
    ibook G4 800 with 512 additional RAM, Airport, 60 G HD (new)
    I have done fsck (no reported issues), Disk repair utility- repair permissions, repair disk, Hardware test (no reported issues, but I couldn't do the loop test due to freezing) Disk Warrior, I installed a new hard drive with a clean install of OSX (I installed 10.3), (no effect), and have tried starup with and without the removeable RAM and Airport installed (no difference).
    I'm out of ideas, but am beginning to think that the problem may be with the fixed RAM; however I can't run the ibook long enough to get a good test without freeze up. One additional note: the problem seems to get progresively worse the longer the ibook has been on, i.e. it gets further into startup say, if it has rested overnight.
    Anyone have thoughts on this? Also, if it is the fixed RAM, does that mean a new logic board?
    Thanks all!

    I hate to add on to everyone else but the same thing has happened to me. It stalls on the opening grey screen with the swirling circle, then after about 15 mins or so it goes to an empty blue screen with mouse capabilities(meaning I see the mouse arrow, and can be moved). Im kind of runnin the same specs as the first poster. I really don't want to get have my wallet raped over getting this laptop fixed. Is there any help for us?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Transferring images from camera or flash drive

    Hi,
    I am having problems with transferring images. When I plug in a flash drive or my camera to the USB port,nothing pops up on my desktop. I checked System Profiler, and it appears that the computer is recognizing the flash drive. So it must be a problem with the drive talking to the software, right?
    I went into Image Capture and set the preference for iPhoto to open when a camera is attached, but no go.
    This is a new problem - I have transferred images many times since getting the computer in March.
    Help!!
    Thanks,
    Codymae

    When you make a User choice - such as 'Open iPhoto When a Camera is connected' it's recorded in the preference (or plist) file. That's what those files are. Trashing them will return the app to the default state. You can then re-select your choics. Corrupted plist files are a common cause of all sorts of issues and one of the basic troubleshooting steps for any app.

  • Inserted memory card to upload photos to iPhoto and received this message "no images on memory card meet download conditions".

    I've been using my memory card from my Canon camera to upload photos to iPhoto.  No problem.  I attempted to use my daughter's memory card from her Canon camera (different model) and I get a pop up window stating "No images on memory card meet the download conditions."  Can anyone tell me why or what I can do so I can save these photos to my iPhoto?

    Well still the best guess is
    the best guess is incorrect settings (as far as Mac iPhoto is concerrened) on her Canon Camera
    Give image capture (in your application foder) a try and see what it sees
    Do yu have a card reader? If so try it and see what the finder sees on the card

  • 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.

  • 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!
