Upload or Share to a camera memory card

Hello,
I am trying to Upload pics from iPhoto 08 directly to my camera(Canon Power Shot S500)
from iPhoto I do not see this option, so I pulled out the memory card and through a card reader I have tried copy and paste, and also drag and drop methods to put photos in the same location as pictures that I have taken with the camera.
If I put the card into the reader, iPhoto opens up and I see the images are there. Also through the disk image icon mounted on the desktop I can view all of the images on the card.
They just will not play back ( or are viewable) through the camera. But the photos that I have taken w/ the camera are.
I want to use my camera for a simple simple slide show, and plug the A/V cables into a projector.
Yes I know the option is available w/ ipods but my iPod nano is 2nd generation. I can seem to find a/v cables for playback for 2nd gen ipod nano
Just wondering what I have missed or is the fact that the camera is a dinosaur

Canon cameras don't mount in the Finder - it's a “feature” of the brand - and so the Card Reader is the only way to go.
Try exporting the photos to the desktop from iPhoto using the file -> Export command as neither copy and paste nor drag and drop will get properly formed metadata and this may be the reason the camera doesn't recognize them.
Regards

How to upload photos from computer to camera memory card?

I want to copy a few select photos and AVI files from the Organizer back to a new camera memory card.

A new message was posted by Colin Walls:
how to upload photos from computer to camera memory card:
Open Organizer. Then open Windows Explorer [My Computer] and navigate to the memory card "drive." Drag the images from Organizer to the memory card.
Dear Colin Walls:
Thanks for your excellent tip. It works just as you said. The WHY I want to do this is:
when I want to print a lot of pictures, I take my memory card to Longs Drug store and use their "machine." Naturally, I want to have all the photos I need on the card.
A few days ago at Longs, I edited about 75 photos of a recent family reunion from my 512MB SD card taken with my Canon PowerShot A510. I ended up ordering 198 4x6 prints. My daughter had several good reunion photos on her digital camera. She e-mailed me seven photos as attachments, thus they were on my computer, but not on my memory card, until I started dragging as per the hint from Colin Walls.
Windows Explorer shows the file structure on the card as one DCIM folder, with subfolders 155 CANON, 156 CANON, 157 CANON, 158 CANON, and CANONMSC. I proceeded to drag each my daughter's seven photos from PS Elem. 4 Organizer to the folder 158 CANON, except that I dragged one to the folder CANONMS, by mistake.
The good news is that Longs machine and PS Elem. 4 both see ALL the photos on the card. The bad news is that my camera does not see the added photos, nor does the Canon ZoomBrowser 3.2 and 5.5 programs,nor the Picasa2 program.
Thanks Colin. Gary Docherty

Uploading from iPhoto to the camera memory card

Wondering if I can upload pictures in iPhoto back to my camera's memory card. Or if my card is in a reader, is there software that will "write" photos in iPhoto onto the memory card? Maybe a dumb question but giving a relative a photo frame that reads all kinds of memory cards then displays the photos. I want to create a custom group of photos in my computer then upload those to the memory card for playback on the photo frame.
Thanks!

HI BDF,
If your camera card mounts on the desktop like a volume, double click the volume to open it and find the folder where the photos should be. If you do not know or if your card does not mount on the desktop, then you can use a card reader and this application.

I am new to iMac. Camera memory card

I am new to my iMac. I inserted my camera memory card and successfully uploaded my photos, but when I take the card out of the computer I get an error message that atells me I should eject it properly. How do I do this?

Select the card's icon and either use the Command E keyboard shortcut or select Eject from the File menu. Or, drag the card's icon to the trash can folder on the Dock (which will magically turn into the eject icon as you do so).

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

You'll be pleased to know you're not the first (or last) to do this .
Have a look at this old thread, Cathy 1956's tip on page 1 seems to work for a lot of people:

Worth reading the whole thread as other people have chimed in with other ways of extracting the disk.

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

Transfer photo from camera memory card to dvd

hi...i am a novice and need to know how i can transfer photos and video from a camera memory card to a dvd on my imac

Mount the card to the desktop in a card reader or your camera if it mounts and drag them to a folder - right click on the folder and burn to Disk
Or import to iPhoto and export as kind = original to a desktop folder and burn that

Just installed elements 9 , plugged camera memory card into computer, I see it on my computer but adobe says can't find device ?

Perhaps the type of file on the camera card is not supported by elements 9 (I have elements 12 and all of my pictures are jpegs so I wouldn't know). You might have to save the pictures you want to your computer as jpegs.

Why did Mac delete camera memory card?

We used a card reader that had been used on a PC, and a camera memory card that had been used on a PC. A pro master GB compact flash. The photos were put on iPhoto. When the card was put into a reader on a PC after that, it refused to let us see the photos. Now back on the Mac, it says the card is not recognizable.
Why does Mac refuse to allow you to use things on a PC? How do we get the photos back and in the future how do we avoid this?

Hi Terence
I just thought I would let you know that I followed your link and the second video where the guy cuts a piece of card and inserts it into the slot worked for me at only the second attempt. This retrieved the HD Card after it was completely lodged in the CD Drive and invisible.
Thank you so much for the link....you have probably saved me about £100 and a long trip to an Apple Store.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Albert.

Problem transferring pictures from camera memory card to computer.

Problem transferring pictures from my camera memory card to my computer. When asked where to save them, it only gives me the option of saving to "Snapfish". There is no option to save the pictures to my computer???

I have a new HP Photosmart 7529e all in one. I put my memory card in the slot but the printer screen does not show my computer as a destination. I'm using Windows 7. Nothing at the computer end acknowlages that the card is in the printer slot. How do I transfer pictures from the card to the computer?

Mounting a camera memory card

I want to use a camera memory card for data aswell as for my camera. Iphoto loads fine and will take my pictures... but since its 4GB I want to mount it like a drive and save other things to it...
Disk Utility will not see it as a drive... only iphoto know a card has been plugged into it...
I am using a Lexar USB Card Reader.
any way to mount it?

It would require you to "format" the card to either a PC (Mac's can read/write) or Mac file format using the Disk Utility app.
Since Disk Utility can't "see" it how does iPhoto?
Formatting the card may also remove the camera's ability to record to it.
I would leave it alone until the prices drop and you can afford to gamble on formatting it.

How do I get camera memory card out of the DVD slot?

How do I get camera memory card out of the DVD slot?

Well, for one thing it shouldn't be in the DVD slot. You can try turning the computer on it's side and see if you can coax it out, but otherwise you will need to take it in for service because the computer has to be disassembled.
