Uploading photo's from a Digital Camera using a 8830

So, being a government employee, I am not allowed to have a phone with a camera.  I do take my camera with me while I'm out and about and would like to upload the photos to Facebook or Flicker.  There has to be someone out there who is smarter than me that has figured out a way to do it.  I was thinking that connecting the camera to my 8830 with a USB cable would be the easiest solution but I don't know if the BB would know that I did it, and what software app I would use.  I know that I could use a micro SD in the camera and then transfer it to the BB, but that seems a little bothersome.  Anyone out there have a solution or I'm I just another person that is hobbled by the interface between his work environment and his personal environment? 

You're going to need to go the bothersome route... There's no way for the BlackBery to read the digital camera from the USB interface.
Either insert the camera's MicroSD card in the BlackBerry, or first transfer the pictures from the camera to the PC and then to your BlackBerry (which you could simply transfer the images to Flickr from the PC, at that point, and removing the BlackBerry from the process entirely).

  • Is it possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sle

    Hello
    My girlfriend and I are going to South America. Therefore, I am not only looking for a MP3-player, but also a place to store photos. The Zen Sleek court my attention.
    Though, I would like to know whether it is possible to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Zen Sleek? Does it require any extra cables or software? Or is it only possible to store photos through a ordinary computer and then transfer photos to the harddisc on the Zen Sleek?
    Regards
    Mads Lyngby Petersen

    Short answer, I've never seen anyone try it.
    Long answer, it might be possible using one of these USB bridge devices. Some of these devices are supposed to be able to bridge between a camera and a USB mass storage device, and then deal with hosting the connection and moving/copying the files.
    I would be intruiged to know if someone's managed it, but as mentioned so far I've not seen anyone mention it.

  • Cant find the pictures I imported from my digital camera using iphoto

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro and imported part of some photos from my digital camera using Iphoto. When it prompted me whether the photos should be deleted from the camera, I chose 'yes'. It deleted the pictures from the camera, but I cant find them anywhere on iphotos. I have tried searching for the pics on my mac using the 'finder', but had no luck.
    I repeated the same thing.. took some more pictures and tried to import part of them and then delete the same pics from the camera. Iphotos did the same thing..
    I usually import all (and not part) of the pictures from my camera and then use the same option to delete the pictures from the camera after importing them to iphotos. This has always worked.
    Please help. Thanks,
    Kanchan

    In the Event mode make sure the sort order is By Date ➙ Descending.  That will put the newer Events at the top of the window.  Check there to see if they are there or not.
    The safest method to get photos from a camera to the library is to upload them to a folder on the Desktop first.  That makes sure they are safely on the hard drive.  From there you can import the folder into the library and when you've confirmed they are in the library you can delete the folder from the Desktop and have the camera reformat the memory card.

  • I have an older imac with os10.4.11. Will it transfer images from newer digital camera using my iphoto when on the camera box it specifies a mac os of 10.5 or above?mo

    I have an older imac with OSX 10.4.11. Will it transfer images  from newer digital cameras on to my computer via my iphoto program when the camera box states that the required mac OS is 10.5 or above or is that only if you wish to load the camera manufacturers own image processing program?

    Which camera are you speaking about?
    Why are you on such an old version on OS X?
    With the information provided, I am inclined to say, no.

  • IPhoto 08 will no longer import any photos/videos from my digital camera?!?

    It seems as though after the most recent Snow Leopard update (10.6.4), I can no longer upload any photos to iPhoto on my imac. It seems as though this is a fairly common problem, and I'm wondering if anyone has been able to resolve it? I am honestly afraid to download any further updates from apple - every time something gets updated....something gets broken. I wish I was exaggerating here...since the initial upgrade to Snow Leopard, after every upgrade/update, major problems have shown up on my once-faithful Imac. Wireless networking, printing, third party software...and now iphoto.

    Same here! During the last software update 7/23, I watched the update process and saw "removing files" as one of the last procedures. Did not realize until later that ALL of iLife '08 had been totally removed. A genius at the store told me that Snow Leopard won't work with iLife '08 and yet it was working fine until last Friday. Now instead of loading multiple photos to my MacBook Pro, iPhone will only allow one photo to be emailed or attached to a contact. They told me at the store I can use Image Capture instead, but that doesn't give me the thumbnail photos. Really dastardly update. Any suggestions except to purchase iLife '09?

  • Photo Importing from my digital camera

    First off, I LOVE MY MACBOOK - haven't had the mooing and other problems - but I do have a concern - when I download photos from my Canon SuperShot Camera - the MacBook is greatly reducing the size once imported - making it hard to use the photos for picture books, photos, etc. How can I adjust the resolution to a larger photo import?

    Are you using iPhoto to import your photo's?
    I find it easier to do a manual download from the camera. All I do is plug my camera in and it shows up as a "drive" on my desktop. Click on that and all your camera's folders are in there.
    You can directly export the whole folder to your desktop. When you do this ALL the original data is placed on your desktop. This will fix any problem you seem to be having with automatic downsizing.

  • Front Row Photos won't play digital camera videos

    Hi,
    Firstly, I'm pretty new to Macs but have been finding my feet with most of my new toy's functionality. I've encountered one problem that I can't seem to find an answer to and was hoping someone here would be able to help.
    I've used iPhoto to import all of my old photos/videos from my digital camera and have arranged these into a mixture of events and smart-folders. When viewing these via the Photos menu in Front Row, the automatic slideshows play back all my photos just fine, but any videos that were taken at the same time are just shown as a black screen. When I say videos, I mean little video clips that were taken using the digital-camera (640x480 and 30fps).
    A few other bits of info that may help with this;
    - The videos play fine in iPhoto.
    - The black screen appears for the same duration that photos are shown, rather than the length of the video.
    - I created a Movies smart-folder, if I hover the selection over this item within Front Row, I'm shown a slideshow of the initial frame of the videos contained within.
    - The camera is a Canon Powershot A700 which stores videos as AVIs using the MJPEG format.
    Am I trying to do something silly? Should the Photos section of Front Row not be used for video playback? Its a shame if that is the case, as they're memories of that event.
    However, the fact that Front Row shows the black screen where the video should be gives me the impression that it is attempting to play it. Otherwise I would expect it to ignore all non-image file formats.
    Any help with this would be hugely appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ian

    Hi,

    I'll be raising it in the feedback form.

  • I am trying to upload photos from my digital camera. Every time I try to plug it into my USB, the following error message comes up: "Because a usb device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."

    I don't have anything else plugged into my MBP, so I am confused as to what's going on.  This problem has never happened before.  MBP is less than a year old - about 9 months old.  HELP

    Get a powered USB hub.

  • Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

    iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • When I import photos from my digital camera in iPhoto 7.1.5 all i get is empty squares. Used to work great

    Just recently, I went to import some photos from my digital camera into my iPhoto 7.1.5 version on my Mac. All I am getsting is the amount of pictures on the camera in the shape of blank picture holders on the screen.  I hooked up the same camera to our son's mac and it has no problem importing pictures. I had some on a USB stick and am having the same problem.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

  • I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

    I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
    I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
    Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
    Thank you,

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Does anyone else find duplicate photos after loading on to macbook from a digital camera?

    Hi there,
    I've never noticed this before but whenever I load pictures from my digital camera two copies of the photo go into the "all images" folder in my finder. There is only one copy in iPhoto.
    Does anyone know how to prevent this as it will just take up space?
    thanks!

    Hi, I know its no help, but i have just noticed the same thing... using daisydisk, i notticed my pictures take up just over twice the room on my Hdd than the size of my pictures folder. As this file is 110GB it would be nice to shrink it if possible.
    So if anyone has any further help on this, it would be great....Cheers

  • TS1315 when trying to download photos  from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an unrecognizable format. It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic.

    when trying to download photos  from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.

    I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
    However today I tried to download six photos.
    None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
    Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
    However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
    (1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
    (1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
    (2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
    (3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
    (4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
    (4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
    (5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
    (6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
    (7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
    Conclusion:
    Not the camera
    Not the cable
    Not the hub
    Must remove bad photo from the card
    However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
    Any idea why this is happening now?
    Thank you

  • I don't know how transfer my photos from my Sony Camera using USB?

    My MAC doesn't pop up any thing when I connect my Sony Camera model DSC-N1 on USB port? How can I transfer my photos? Thanks ...

    The EXACT answer will depend on which OS and iPhoto you are using, but they all work as follows.
    Provided that your Mac recognizes your camera's memory card, you should be able to use iPhoto's
    FILE > IMPORT TO LIBRARY menu command, even if connecting your camera does not automatically find ("pop up") iPhoto. If you want your Mac to ALWAYS launch one specific app (such as iPhoto) when you connect your camera, you select which app via with your Mac's "Image Capture" application as follows:
    Launch your Mac's "Image Capture" application and search Image Capture > Help for "Transferring items from your camera" (without the quotation marks.)
    If you have trouble with the search, you can find the topic on Apple's website here:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ImageCapture/6.0/en/5304.html
    When your camera is connected and operating, you can use Image Capture to select whether and which application to launch automatically when you connect your camera in the future. The Image Capture 8 way of setting is shown in the following image:
    For help with the iPhoto part, launch your Mac's "iPhoto" application and search iPhoto > Help for "Importing photos from a digital camera" (without the quotation marks.)
    If you have trouble with the search, you can find the topic on Apple's website here:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/6297.html
    The exact steps may be slightly different if you are using some other version of iPhoto. If you cannot find what you need, post back which iPhoto and Mac OS X versions you are using and what specific issue is giving trouble, and we will try to offer tailored links.
