Using the sd card slot to import photos from digital camera?

Can't figure out how to use the sd port on my macbook to imports photos from my camera?

Take the SD card from the camera and put it into the sd port.
Open the software you use to manage photos and open the card....
Or copy the photos from the card to the HD.

Importing Photos From Digital Camera

I have a Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS. Is there a way for me to import only some of the photos into iPhoto? Example, iPhoto recognizes the camera is connected, then says "Ready to import 58 items." If I only want 10 of the photos, do I have to delete the ones I don't want once they're imported, or can I select only which ones I want to import?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
iPhoto has no selective import capability
1 - use image capture (in our applications folder) and down load selected photos to disk and then import to iPhoto (in the i{Photo or image capture preferences you can set image capture to be your default program when a camera is connected)
2 - Upgrade to iPhoto '08 or '09 - both allow you to select photos to import

Air: Won't Import photos from digital camera.

Always worked before w/same equip, but now won't import the last group of photos. Starts to do it, but then quits before importing any. I have less than 500 photos in my library. Do I need another hard drive?

How much space on your hard Drive?

I cant see how to import photos from my camera

I watched a video on how to import photos from a camera using Adobe Photoshop, based on this video I have downloaded the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 but the Command G function to import photos from my camera doesnt appear to exist

Hi Barbara
I see that this problem with creating a sub folder names as the shooting date has been an issue since 2011 as I found out
on the following forum

I am struggling to see why this is occurring with purchased software

Hi Barbara,
Your information has been very helpful and I do appreciate your kind assistance
I have contacted iTunes and they are going to refund my money which is great.
I went to store and purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premier (single package) Elements 10 s. I am using a new iMac with OS 10.7.4
The Photoshop installed OK but she I chose to import photos from my camera and chose to create new folder named as the date shot a new folder is created but it totally shows the wrong date, I am sure we are not in 1970 or 1999 LOL. This happened with both a Canon Powershot and a Canon EOS camera. This problem does not occur with Picasa which works perfectly and does beg the question why I am persisting with Adobe products!
The Premiere (on the same disk as Photoshop) will not install and I get the following error message
Exit Code: 7

I have been using iPhoto on my MAC notebook to import photos from my camera. It no longer works and says that the Image Capture on my computer is the issue. Any ideas?

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
Highlight your card.
Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
Then start the import.

HT2498 How do I import photos from my camera without being forced to use any silly mac software?

I haev a PC as well as a new Mac Mini.
It has always bugged me that Mac seems to force me to use a silly image managment software (like iphoto) to import photos from my camera when i plug it in.
On my PC (windows 7) it simply recognizes it as a "removable storage device" and i can access the flash memory as if it was a hard drive and simply drag my photos to a folder on my computer. (this same technique works with my iphone photos)
However on my Mac it seems there is no way to open up the flash memory and just drag photos off and manually import and manage my photos. I do not like all of the complicated software to complete a simple task like this.
Am i missing something? if so please fill me in. thanks!

It does not force you to do that.
Open iPhoto, go to iPhoto / Preferences and change the setting so no application opens when the camera is connected.
Whether you change the setting or not, the camera does indeed appear as a "removable storage device". At least mine does:
And you can double click the camera icon and navigate the contents. The contents are shown exactly as they would be on any "storage device":
Thus you have the option in iPhoto preferences to let it do it for you, or do it yourself if that is your choice.

HT2518 I USED THE MIGRATION ASSISTANT TO TRANSFER MY PHOTOS FROM A PC TO MY NEW MAC. HOWEVER, THE PHOTOS ARE NOT ORGANIZED AT ALL. DID I DO IT WRONG OR DO THEY JUST TRANSFER OVER IN A BIG BATCH INTO IPHOTO?

I used the migration assistant to transfer my photos from PC to mac. The photos were not organized at all. They were in the all files section in my finder. I just clicked and drug the pics file to iphoto and the are just in there in a big bunch. Was there a way I could have had them transferred over in there folders from PC?

Do you know where the actual photo files are located on your laptop? If so, you can transfer them to the Mac over a LAN or by saving them to an external HDD, thumb drive or burning them to a disk. Then you can import the photos to the iPhoto app that came on your new Mac.
It would be the same process for the videos, however, it would depend what type of video files they are, as to which Mac app might allow you to view them.
BTW, since your Mac is new you need to Accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie into your Mac App Store/iTunes account. Open the MAS, sign into you account, go to the Purchased pane and accept the apps.

My iPad no longer detects my memory card reader to transfer photos from my camera?

You could try closing the Photos app completely and then re-open it to see if that makes a difference : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Are you adding the photos yourself to the card via a computer, or is it straight from a camera ?

Iphoto won't import photos from my camera

My hard drive crashed about 2 months ago and I had a new one installed. It worked great for the first month but then began importing my photos very slowly and now has stopped. It will still import/snyc from my iphone but has since, stopped importing photos from my camera.
It recognizes that my camera is plugged in and the window pops up that asks if I would like to import duplicates or not. I check the box and then it stalls. I've let it sit for hours and nothing.
Now, with my old hard drive, I was current with the newest updates. I just realized whoever that with the new hard drive in that I'm back at 6.0.6.
Would it help if I updated iphoto one by one until I get up to '11? or is there another fix for this version? I wouldn't mind keeping it if it WORKED for me... or is it my camera???
I'm not computer savvy at all so please give specific instructions as if you are speaking to a child.

How much free space do you have on your hard drive?

I have been using iphoto 09 and am now unable to import photos from my camera. I get the message that they are being imported but after 10 minutes nothing has actually been imported.

I have just been trying to import photos from mine and my husbands cameras but nothing seems to be happening. I get the message to wait while they are being imported but after 10-15 minutes, nothing has been uploaded. I have always had updates downloaded when they become available and can't think what I may have done wrong.
I hope someone out there can give me some advice. My mac is running Snow Leopard and I love it.

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?

Can't import photos from my camera since the update, says file is unrecognizeable

Since the recent photos update, I can no longer import photos from my Kodak Easyshare camera. Previously all I had to do was plug it into the Mac, turn it on and it would import with no problems. Now it is telling me that the files are unreadable or something. I don't know how to find the camera as a device on the Mac when its plugged in, to go at the problem that way. Not sure what to do at this point. Getting frustrated.

Then use either of my recommendations above. If you decide to get a card reader (I'd recommend this!) then simply insert the card into it, connect the reader to the Mac and use Photos import feature and import from the card. If you need additional help using Photos please use the Photos forum, you can get there by clicking Photos for Mac
